For the first and last time ever in our four years of highschool... we have been declared as over-all champions in the intrams!
CONGRATULATIONS TO OUR BELOVED BATCH! :) BLUE BATCH! RAWRRR!

I seriously thought we wouldn't get it, especially since we just lost our final basketball game to the freshmen just a while ago. We were already screaming our lungs out during the game pero tambak parin kami.

The first years just seem to be continuing the legacy of the previous yellow batches' excellence at sports, dahil hanep talaga silang maglaro. Although I couldn't help hating them for a moment because they kept on losing us chances of winning with their consistently excellent passes and 2 to 3-point shots, I have to acknowledge the fact that they really played well. Magaling talaga... and they deserved that win very much. Sobrang galing ng teamwork and individual contributions nila sa basketball. Basta ang galing, and it was topped off by the fact that they already looked like experienced juniors in some varsity basketball team. :)

The intrams seemed to pass by quickly though... when we get back to regular classes next week I'm definitely going to miss being able to stay in Brennan Drive, the 2nd flr cafe and the sportscom with my friends again with that carefree feeling of being able to go through a schoolday without worry of any schoolwork. Goodbye to hanging out, watching games, eating carelessly and playing mafia. Hay. I guess reality just has to take over sometime.

intrams 2004-05
Intrams season at school has been going on since Wednesday this week, but I didn't join anything this year. I have basically been eating and eating and watching several bluebatch games and hanging out with DA since yesterday. I also saw Rafael and Joseph from SCQ, and got to take a picture with and of Bentong, our batch muse. Hehe :)

Somehow, I don't like the unproductivity these past few days have been giving me but I guess I shouldn't complain, since these three days we have right now have become very good opportunities for my friends and I to spend time with each other again, which we haven't been able to do as much in the past year of schoolwork overkill and poor time management.

Parang kahapon lang sa intrams, my barkada and I decided to play truthordare. We started the game lightly in hopes of killing time for a while, until everyone ended up choosing TRUTH, turning the entire game into a serious open forum. Fortunately enough for all of us, it turned out okay, and I think it did us a lot of good to some extent.

Aside from this, we also got to realize that every year level seems to be keeping themselves true to their color-coded batch reputations. It's interesting to note that the yellow batch's knack for sports is still coming along well with this schoolyear's freshmen, just as our blue batch is doing otherwise. Our batch UNDOUBTEDLY has a lot of REALLY GOOD ATHLETES but as history would have it, I don't think we've ever exactly emerged as overall champions in any of our intramural seasons (That's what I know for OUR blue batch anyway. Correct me if I'm wrong :)). But it really doesn't matter because we're champions in everything else anyway. HEHEHE defensive. :p Beh... I love my batch.

narcolepsy
For the past two days, I've been falling asleep just before dinnertime without even managing to do anything worthwhile within the time I had in my hands from 4-6pm after school, just before sleeping. I'm not sure why, but I think it's partially because I got so used to taking out my planner and finding homework to do that I felt nothing else would be worth doing on a homeworkless schoolnight except to sleep. I can't understand what I just typed in. Argh. I feel sleepy again.

the day after tomorrow
After hearing and watching and reading about everything that's been happening around the world, I couldn't help but get scared in anxiety of what could actually happen next. I felt bad watching all the footage of people getting their lives damaged or lost altogether by the many unwanted occurances that have been happening (the floods, the tsunami, meningococcemia, the recent landslide, and everything else), and everything just reminded me of how I felt while watching a certain scene in the movie The Day After Tomorrow. Somehow, I just wanted to cry, whether for the people whose lives have gotten affected or for what could happen in the future, I really didn't know.

of breaking away
I really want to graduate already but at the same time I just don't. I'm both relieved and sad that I can already leave highschool in a few months, and both excited and scared that I can already enter college in a few months. Hay. I think I'm better off graduating now though, because I can't help it anymore. I love highschool for so many reasons, but it just feels so tiring already. I don't know. Poo.

back to academics
By this coming week, I should already have a video documentary on ILLEGAL SUBSTANCES (CAT), another video documentary on MCHS (ELECTIVE), and 20+ pictures of Ms. Lacson (Photography) completed/filmed/compiled. And you know what? Aside from that being only 10% of the things I have to accomplish short-term, I haven't really done much for any of them yet. But I'm not complaining. For some reason, it actually feels okay to be doing so many things again. I just hope it doesn't get out of control... I also want to find time for recreation and perkiness. (?)

I SERIOUSLY don't know what I'm typing in anymore. inaantok na talaga ako pero hindi pa ako pwedeng matulog sa dami ng kailangan matapos para bukas. So you have to deal withnoncoherence. :D

I've been thinking of creating a separate private blog by the way. I've been having uninvited people on my tagboard and I'm not liking it very much. It can get dangerous having unknown people here, at hindi ko masabi lahat ng gusto ko.

For some reason I'm just not in the mood to write today. Feeling drained.

*Happy Birthday to precious precious! And belated happy birthday to Kristina Dumski. Hehe. =)
