Last day of pc tinkering before I zonk into the darkness of reviewing. :P I have an exam on tuesday so I've got to review later and tomorrow. I hope I get through all those sample exams that my teacher gave us.

*****

I had a blast yesterday! ^_^ Although I didn't go to the Anime Quest 2003 because doesn't look like the entrance fee is worth it. ^^;; But watching a movie, walking around the mall and talking was really fun! :)

*****

Finally finished downloading Josh Groban's 'Vincent'. His voice is so heavenly. Ah...

*****

I finally discovered a technique so that my mom won't bother me when I'm using the pc! I just play her favorite songs then viola! She just listens and doesn't bother me! :)

*****

I had the guts to wear a sleeveless top to church today. I don't like wearing sleeveless shirts because.. well.. I feel uneasy... Anyway, I think I really looked good since I see the guys looking at me.. Hehe... But still, I felt uneasy because I'm not used to the attention.

After the enrollment and the first days of summer classes, I’m tired. ^_^

*****

I’m proud to say, I’ve been very productive while I didn’t use the computer. I was able to stick to my decision (even though my hands were really itching to use the pc even for just a while ^^ ;;) and I was able to study well. :)

It wasn’t easy I tell you, I had to watch Fruits Basket again and again to overcome my pc addiction. Now I’m addicted to Fruits Basket (again)!

*****

My legs hurt! It’s because of the stretches we had to do for PE. By the way, I enrolled for basketball this summer. I love it. :) Although I never thought that basketball was that hard, I really need to practice more. ^^

Heh. After Easter Sunday, my life slowly slopes downhill.

What irony.

*****

I've finished enrolling for summer after waiting in line for 2 HOURS! And then there was this commotion when I was so near to pay for my fee. They took our enrollment papers (Form 5) then disarranged it so that those at the back were the first ones to finish enrolling! I was so pissed, and I was really complaining about what they did. It was so unfair!

*****

Summer classes start tomorrow. And as a resolution, I'm not going to be online during weekdays, only on weekends and holidays. :) I'm going to start studying really hard because I'm aiming for 1.0's in my classcards. Wish me luck! ^_^

Happy Easter everyone!

I just finished posting a box of quotes so.. no quote for today. ^^;; I'll probably recycle them anyway. ^_^

*****

My cousin treated me to a movie! It was "Johnny English", starring Rowan "Mr. Bean" Atkinson. It's so funny! I was laughing so hard that my laughs echoed in the theater. :P Mr. Bean is a good comedian. ^_^

*****

I've been a very helpful girl today. *nods* So that my mom will let me go out with my cousin. *grins* I even made dinner for them, even though I'm not going to eat at home. :)

If one advances confidently in the direction of their dreams, and endeavors to lead a life which they have imagined, they will meet with a success unexpected in common hours – Henry David Thoreau

I went to a recollection this morning, and I feel so much better.

You know those times you feel so special, so loved, this is one of those times... :)

And while I’m in the mood, let me thank everyone who has been special to me. Thank you to my parents for bringing me up in the best way they know and making me feel that I’m so special. Thank you to my brother that drove me to study martial arts (I love taekwondo!) and urged me to love video games. Thank you to my cousins who are so supportive and affectionate. Thank you to my friends who have always been there for me, online or not, especially last semester when all my hopes were gone and I was really feeling low, thanks for making me feel better. Thank you to God for my life, and for all the blessings that I am receiving. ^_^

*****

Omigosh! I just signed up for a free sort-of-livejournal. And it has the most adorable little rodent ever! (Next to Yuki of course! ^_^) Go here to see it.

*****

I only had 4 hours of sleep. :( I was supposed to sleep at 12 midnight but I couldn’t since I had an afternoon nap. I was only able to sleep at 4am after I drank a glass of milk and then I had to wake up at 8am.

Note to self: Don’t take afternoon naps.

*****

I have to go back to school on Monday, just when I’m already enjoying summer break. I’m also scared about getting my class cards. I don’t know if they’ll be good or bad.

To the man who himself strives earnestly, God also lends a helping hand. – Aeschylus

Dad will be working overseas again. He just boarded his plane to Korea. I feel sad about it even though the atmosphere at the airport was a happy one. He’s going to Korea then to Osaka, Japan. I hope he arrives there safely.

On the bright side, he gave me his small multi-tester, handy-dandy pliers (that looks like a Swiss knife except that it has screwdrivers, knives, etc.) and of course more pocket money for summer. :D

*****

My brother’s home. *frowns* I was hoping that he would extend his “trip” up to tomorrow. Oh well…

*****

Ugh! My handkerchiefs smell like paint. Mom put them in the newly painted drawer. I feel sick whenever I use them. ~_~

*****

Charles' birthday celebration was fun. :) I was losing in card games (Rich jinxed me! :P) but I was able to regain my winning streaks when Rich wasn’t playing. :D And it was nice to see everyone again. ^_~

I got pictures of the celebration and Chrissa’s puppies! Chrissa has the cutest, most adorable puppies in the whole wide… umm… paraƱaque! :D

Oscar (the grouchy puppy) was super duper-cute! He even made cute poses for me! Veronica looks like a puppy with white socks. :P

I love puppies! *heart*

We have a great God who will do within us what we cannot do for ourselves. - Catherine Marshall

My dad's going to go abroad tomorrow. After 2 months of vacation. And he just announced it. Oh.. well.. I'm kind of used to it anyway. :(

*****

My brother is gone for THREE whole days! Whopee! No annoying brother in the house! :D

He's going to YFC ILC in Subic. I didn't want to go because he's there. :P I'd rather go to an ILC WITHOUT him than with him. :P

*****

I still don't know how I'll spend Holy Week. I want to visit churches but mom said we'll be too busy for that. She wants me arouund the house. :P

Success seems to be largely a matter of hanging on after others have let go.

Tell me that it's just a nightmare. Please tell me, and kindly wake me up.

Yes, I have a bad day. Not only in school but here in my home as well.

Bad trip.

As long as the trunk is firm, worry not over the branches swaying to the wind. - Chinese Proverb

I passed Electromagnetics! Yay! No need to take it again! *dances around the room with a big grin on the face*

Whoops! Its too early to rejoice... I still have other subjects to be sad about... :(

The difference between ordinary and extraordinary is the little extra.

I asked my dad to buy a pint of ice cream on his way home. When he got home, I was surprised to see 2 gallons of ice cream! Woohoo!

I finished painting my cabinet today. My hands and knees are filled with white paint. :P

*****




Believe?
*****

I talked to Ivy yesterday. And it made me think. What would I do, if I didn't pass three subjects this sem?

Whatever is worth doing at all, is worth doing well. - Chesterfield

My eyes hurt. I was crying earlier because I woke up at 2am with lots and lots of mosquito bites. I was screaming at everyone because my arms and legs were so itchy! Someone turned off my mosquito repellant! I'm suspecting that my brother was the one responsible. Now I realize how much I hate my brother.

I watched Bruce Lee's story last night. It was very informative. Unlike the movie that tried to explain the curse and his death. I also remember Brandon Lee (The Crow). I think his last movie was great.

I wish Bruce Lee was still alive. He had a hard time providing for his family. If he was here now, I bet he'd be rich... rich and famous.

I loved this quote: "Be formless, shapeless like water. Be water my friend." - Bruce Lee

He's my ultimate martial arts idol. And he knew that movements have to be fluid, just like water. *sigh*
