This day was almost a mess! Oh well, almost.

My Guesses All Failed

Oh well, how I always thought that I was good in decoding meaning of poems but I fell with a thud in Literature class today. All my interpretations of the poems that we read seemed to be less appealing to our prof. But still, I believe in the general rule in literature that EACH OF US HAS HIS OWN OWN INTERPRETATION and IDEATION of poems and even songs.

9 vs 19

This , I should say, gave me the biggest headache ever today!

Our class decided to have an outreach program instead of our regular Christmas party held every year. We had already talked about that we would be helping and celebrating with special children in our adopted orphanage. Everything changed when we replanned everything again. They (the 19 people composing the majority of our class) were like making excuses that it would not be feasible to plan for a program, party and gift-giving in the orphanage because of the restricted time and schedule that we have. They were just thinking that our class would just want to drop our donations and that's it because it so much easier. Nine of us still believed that it would still be possible and we stood up bravely. We are going to prove them that what they are thinking is wrong!!! We promised ourselves that we are going to make this bash possible and plan everything for my, sorry for the word, mediocre classmates. What really aggravated this disoriented situation of mine was HIM. I dunno, I couldn't believe he joined us, the brave souls (he was so thinking more that twice but I knew he really would like to help) and I was disappointed by HIM when he was even the one who printed out the list of orphanages that I was able to find on the net. My friend said that HE really wanted to join us but he was thinking of the time (I almost forgot that he was a blah). Another thing that ruined by wits, my classmates were too stingy to shell out money for this worthwhile event but they were so willing to spend alot on exchange gifts and our class party?! WTF?! What kind of attitude and empathy were you trying to show?!

McDo Fries (love much!) Put Into Waste

McDonald's French Fries, FYI, would be one of my most favorite comfort food. My friend gave me such, I think out of pity because I wasn't able to buy lunch for myself due to the whole planning thingy. The french fry box was still full, so I gave some to HIM but HE was super clumsy that He accidentally pulled the box as he was getting his fries. The precious french fries were scattered all over the floor!!! He was super sorry and even told me to buy another one but I declined. It was free anyway. And maybe, just maybe, he could not really make me angry.

Sold Out



I was really eager to have either one of these two dresses. I saw these dresses on a Multiply online shop and I really wanted to wear one of them to my cousin's wedding on January. I would really make kulit the seller to see if the dresses were still available. You see, I'm not really the type of person who loves shopping and clothes, the stereotyped girly dramas but these dresses, especially the grey one really made my eyes wide and made me tell myself,"This is so DAMN PERFECT for the wedding!". I even went online at 5:30 am, almost running late for school and went to a computer shop after class just to check for her reply.

The verdict? Ouch.

Thought It Was US

At the gym, my friend told me that one of our friends, who happens to be her seatmate/chatmate said, "Alam mo, feeling ko talaga, may gusto sa isa't isa 'yang DALAWA. 'Di lang nag-aaminan". Then I asked her, who were the two he was mentioning? Then my friend smiled. From there, I knew, I was involved then I asked who's the other half. I was expecting HIS name that I would be hearing but it was another. It was one of my guy friends who I always joke around and laugh with and the one who gave me the fries. Hearing HIS name would have sounded way better.

From here, HIM hasn't done anything good so far. And I was at my dullest moment. Until...

I Thought He Would Never Come

HE is also my gym mate but he's always too lazy to go exercising that I think he is not really able to maximize what he pays for the facilities and all. He would come once a week or so. In music class (just before the spilling of fries incident), he already told me that he would come to the gym, he just had to get clothes from his house, short of saying that he would follow but still he wasn't sure. I asked what's gotten into him to decide to go to the gym. Our teacher came, he wasn't able to answer.

At the gym, we arrived late that usual because I ate lunch first (Ruffles and ensaymada, not good for a girl who is on a diet). My friend and I were so sure that he would not be coming since it was late already. When we were about to start sweating our butts off on the treadmill, I saw him coming, kinda puzzled why we were still about to start. I dunno, but all of a sudden, all the heavy feelings that I had faded away in an instant when we started to joke around and make fun of our friend. He also told me that he added another story about his imaginary boyfriend. He would tell everyone tomorrow that he would be having his first kiss with him after having a fight with him at the boy's pad. Now tell me about what's sick.

Til then, he made my day. ^_^

I thought I would not be able to post an entry tonight but then, good thing, our professor moved the deadline on Friday instead of tomorrow because, really, the assignment that she asked us to do was really beyond human capacity! Talking about a 77-page handout and you have to extract a timeline of the early history of home and family life of children with the key concepts taken not of, there's no way that I will be able to finish it! Anyway, enough of my rants about this.

I really had a lucky day, it was as if the whole universe conspired with me and all my prayers were answered. My professor postponed our long test for he brought the wrong set of test papers. Very luck y of us indeed! Although, I studied last night but I think, I didn't ready myself enough to get a passing grade, short of saying that most probably I would fail the test. My professor in Sociology, on the other hand, who is really known for her monstrous character was very kind and lenient when she entered the classroom. This is so far from her character. I remembered one time, when a quiz just ended, my friend told me that she was so going to flunk in the test, same sentiment with me, but it was understandable since the crazy prof did not teach what to we tested on anyway. Then she saw as and said, "At my command, please for 5 minutes, go outside." We were really startled! It was a total injustice since the whole class was very noisy and we were the only ones she saw. Maybe because, my friend is the class president. My friend was kind of hesitant to go outside but I just pulled her out because our professor was very strong with her decision. When we went outside, we just laughed the whole thing along since we knew how crazy that professor was. Then after like, 4 minutes, my classmate asked us to go inside since our prof told her to do so. I shouted, "Wala pa kayang 5 minutes!". I really intended to do that since I was really pissed by what she did, she was the first ever teacher who did that to me! My classmates said that they heard what I said and they just held their laughter afraid to be character assassinated by the prof.

But today, she was different. She was putting our program, special education on the highest pedestal above the accountants, businessmen and even nutritionists!!! And she never gave us that sharp look of hers. But I kind of predicted that she was going to be in a good mood since before our class, she and the other faculty members, greeted our college rector who was celebrating his birthday.

But the best part of this day would be our Dev Read class. How I really adore our male teacher!!! Since day 1, I have developed a crush and the first one to ever know that is HIM. He speaks articulately and his humor amazes me. He asked me to recite Sonnet 118 but 116 was the only one that I knew of, so he recited it to me, us I mean =P, I froze at that moment and my friend was laughing at me asking me what I felt. I tried to look for his blogs, Multiply, MySpace, Friendster or whatevs (famous expression of his) but GAD!!! Not a single one I was able to find maybe he's using another name!!! But because of my stalking skills, I was able to find out his middle name and the year he graduated. My friend who also has the hots for him was really impressed. =P

Today in class, I was active but not as active as I am in other class since I'm shy to commit a mistake in front of him and when I speak, I tremble to the tee. When he asked for a volunteer to act out as a Grade 1 pupil, HIM was really encouraging me to raise my hand (I was like, errrrr... Aren't you jealous?! ASA! Haha) but I didn't because I was not in the mood to act as Bonjing. He had a new haircut, by the way, the one I thought which would look good on him. He looked like a lesbian with his previous hair, I told him that I think, Sir Dev Read would look better with a shorter hair. Everyone was really awed by his new appearance, I could even see our Korean classmates drooling over him. I remembered our first day with him, the Korean girls were late and when they went into the classroom, one of them screamed something which all puzzled us since we didn't understand for it was in Korean. Then my Korean friend told us that what she said actually directly translates as, "Handsome"!!! We were laughing when we knew that, that girl was hilarious!


Back to today, one of our classmates was late and when she greeted Sir, at first, she didn't notice the new look but when she fully saw him, she stuttered and was just staring at him! Now, I have alot to compete with! DARN IT!!!

He's face is also familiar to me then I remembered a drawing I made when I was like 8 years old. I was so blinded by the idea and curiosity of having a boyfriend so I drew myself an ideal man (stupid I know) which included his family on the portrait. I'm not being crazy and lying, but he actually looked like Sir Dev Read! Ahem! Now, there is no way I will be linked to HIM since we are both 'tied' to another. Sir Dev Read can mask my hidden agenda!!! If you know what I mean.

Closing Remark. Just want to congratulate the staff of our university paper for coming up with a glossy, colored and substantively good school paper!!! It was a total makeover indeed and even the comics, which I didn't really mind at all before, gave me some smiles and laughs although some parts were still corny and lame to me. Jia you, guys! ^_^
