we're gonna do it all

SUMMER!!!

It was our last exam today, and as I was finishing the last problem on my Math paper, I felt chills run down my spine and excitement burn up in me (I actually finished 30 minutes before time so I slept while waiting to pass the papers, haha).
Junior year is finally over!


My friends and I decided to celebrate by going on an "adventure" (a failed one, actually).
"A day of spontaneity".
Because of a certain mishap, we ended up with no car to bring us around. But that made it even more exciting.
I even scored an adorable dress! Hahahaha

So we just went where we felt like going, doing a few things we couldn't (and shouldn't) do in our school uniforms.

unencumbered numbered words

Chem exam = DONE
I (and my batch mates) are definitely overjoyed. As soon as we passed our papers, cheers filled the corridor. Finally over with the test and the subject! Unless I'm planning to be a chemist or study science, then I'll never have to worry about balancing equations anymore, haha (hopefully). So how was the chem test? I was a little stressed out at first, because there was some complication with my formula data bank and how I couldn't use it, but before I could cry my teacher was kind enough to let me use it (since he said it wasn't my fault). It was bearable and a bit more, actually. When I received the test paper, I spaced out for a few good minutes (slow processor), but I managed to finish on time--unlike the second term exam. I shotgunned a few things, but not enough to make my final score suffer. Plus, I've got that recitation bonus point, so all in all, I'm pretty happy.

"In you lies immense talent--use it and use it well. I see in you someone who has profound thought...you can do it, believe." -A letter from the most amazing Literature teacher ever. A classmate handed it to me as we were leaving the classroom, and I was just awestruck when I read the letters. To be told these things by someone you look up to is just the most brilliant feeling. It literally made my day.

After the exam, my friends and I decided to walk over and get some frozen yogurt at the mall near us. Still hungry, we ended up going to Wendy's and scarfed down taco salads, baked potatoes, fries, chicken and burgers, washing it down with Biggies. But in the end, none of us finished our food. My friend couldn't even look at the last bite of her chicken fillet burger, haha. But at least we burned a few calories (as we like to believe) on the way back to school.

It's math tomorrow, but hey, I love math! So no worries. I just need to review the formulas and it'll be fine (I hope).

life's an adventure

The first part of this post is dedicated to my good friend, Bambina, whose birthday was last February, and her party last Saturday. Good food, drinks and company. It was a very chill, good vibes party. And even if I wound up with a blister on each of my big toes, I had a great time. (Note: Her theme was Safari chic; but because I was so rushed that morning--early ballet class, no time to go home and think carefully--I threw whatever I saw first in my closet, this outfit in no way is related to the safari...although I said you could find flowers in the forest HAHA)

The birthday girl!

The most amazing people, ever.

Also, a belated 21st birthday to my favorite (older) sister, Mia! No matter how insane, or strange (maybe even brilliant) she is, she'll forever be the kick ass manang I both hate and love (mostly love--just don't tell her that).

Insane woman in the making.


That is all for now. :)
Exams coming up!!

behind those hazel eyes

Mara, for my photo essay.

Me, for Mara's photo essay.

Had a "photoshoot" with my friend Mara, for our project (individual) in school; which is a photo essay about the topic assigned to you. We decided to "model" for each other, ahaha. My topic was truth, which turned out to be a little hard for me to do, because there are so many things you can do with that topic. I'm pretty happy with the picture I chose though (which I still need to edit)! It was fun, though I'd rather be behind the scenes than in front of the camera lens. As fun as the shoot for the project was, the out takes were even better.

Out-takes:

Not ready yet.

The last five pictures were out of pure boredom. I was waiting for my older sister to pick me up and we just decided to shoot outside.

campaign season

Three things that are happening tomorrow!

Yes. It's our school's Student Council elections tomorrow, and the candidates have been campaigning non-stop. As you can see, my ID has suddenly turned into a pile of promotion stickers that the actual identification card is nowhere in sight. I'm pretty sure of who I'm voting for, except for secretary, since there are too many candidates to choose from. Boo.

It is also our last ACDT club meeting of the year tomorrow! :( I'm seriously going to miss these faces. (Though I am positive it's NOT THE END!)
We're quite dugyot, haha.


Also, tomorrow is PROM SET-UP! Joy.
Staying in school (yes, prom is in school instead of hotel ballrooms or tents) til 11PM (earlier, please) to decorate; meaning hanging drapes and christmas lights, fixing the entrance, blocking dark areas (dark areas=no no) and so on. Don't get me wrong, I believe in our creative team (as well as the other committees), but I just hope we can pull this off!
TWO MORE DAYS!! <3 Yes, our theme is Alice In Wonderland. :) (c) Mia Togle

frankfurter

Happy birthday to my labrador retriever, Frankie (formerly known as Trixie).

We've only had her for a while, but so far she's been extremely pleasant and easy to manage (even if she can eat truckloads of food).
She turns one today. :)Frankie and my little sister, Carla. Even if she's scared of dogs (or cats, hamsters, basically animals), she showed some love through the glass.
My older sister, Mia.

Isn't she just the cutest thing? :)
