Just stand up

I was talking to my ex- schoolmates at Brunei earlier and late last year around November-ish, they sat for Cambridge O-levels right? Well, their results came out yesterday and my ex-schoolmate, Berlinda wasn't happy with her result. While Ian(the other Filipino guy in my class) wasn't so happy about his too even if he got straight As and a bloody B for A. Maths! LOL! Dude, that's good! enough! Anyways, Berlinda wasn't in the mood at all. All i could do to help her was encourage her and give her some advice[ which she might not need ]. I wish i could do something for her you know. I know how it feels like failing. And boy it aint good. I went through it a couple of times. But we just have to pick ourselves up every time we fall right? Don't fret. It's useless and it'll do nothing. While Ian on the other hand, is planning to go for a scholarship[he is soooo gonna get it but still i've got my fingers crossed for ya] for Bio Technology, Environmental Science or something like that. I still do not know what Soong got though. I hope he did good.

Anyway, brought back memories talking to them :)



- Dianne, Berlinda, Claudia, Angelica @ KB beach right? Claudia, loooove love love the jersey. :) How i wish that Berlinda could still smile that way now. Oh and yea, to Angelica, i've got my fingers crossed for you. She took an entrance exam at La Salle Saint Benilde for HRIM and i pray that she gets in :) And Dianne? LOL! Student Councillor ka na ba? AHHAHA!

- cake race[because we couldn't finish the cake] between Ian and I. HE won, of course. But next time, i sure will beat you :P Awwwwww i miss eating at Ideal :(

-Olive, Berlinda, Mine and Michelle's.

And lastly, a song for Berlinda :) Cheer up girl!

Ain't got the patience for the pain
And if you don't believe it look into
Your heart the beat goes on

Rihanna: I'm tellin' you
Things get better
Through whatever
If you fall, dust it off, don't let up

Sheryl: Don't you know you can go be your own miracle

Beyonce: You need to know

CHORUS
Sheryl: If the mind keeps thinking you've had enough
But the heart keeps telling you don't give up

Sheryl/Beyonce: Who are we to be
Questioning, wondering what is what
Don't give up
THROUGH IT ALL, JUST STAND UP!

Fergie: It's like we all have better days
Problems getting all up in your face

Leona: Just because you go through it

Fergie: Don't mean it got to take control, no

Leona: You ain't gotta find no hiding place

Keyshia: Because the heart can beat the hate

Leona: Don't wanna let your mind keep playin' you

Keyshia: And sayin' you can't go on

Rihanna: I'm tellin' you

Miley: Things get better
Through whatever

Rihanna: If you fall

Miley: Dust if off, don't let up

LeAnn: Don't you know you

Natasha: Can go

LeAnn: Be your own

Natasha: Miracle

Carrie: You need to know

Ensemble: CHORUS

Mary: You don't gotta be a prisoner in your mind

Ciara: If you fall, dust it off

Mary: You can live your life

Rihanna/Carrie: Yeah

Mary: Let your heart be your guide

Rihanna/Carrie: Yeah yeah yeah

Mariah: And you will know that you're good if you trust in the good

Ashanti: Everything will be alright, yeah
Light up the dark, if you follow your heart

Mary: And it will get better

Mariah: Through whatever

CHORUS (2x)

Fergie: You got it in you, find it within
You got it in now, find it within now
You got it in you, find it within
You got it in now, find it within now
You got it in you, find it within
You got it in now, find it within now
Find it within you, find it within
Everyone: THROUGH IT ALL, JUST STAND UP!

endorphins? happy?

I just got back from gym and i didn't play soccer today. I haven't really moved on from the "incident" yet. HAHAHA. Anyhowsss, I read a pretty interesting article just a few minutes ago. It was about exercising and how/why it can make you happy. emotionally

Taken from http://www.slowdownfast.com/exercise-can-make-you-happy-healthy/


" Exercise improves your mood — Exercise releases endorphins, natural hormones that flood the body with a feel-good energy, a natural high! You release stress through physical exertion and regulated breathing, so you can let go of the day’s challenges and go home feeling relaxed and refreshed." oh. No wonder i feel so good in a natural high kind of way right now. Endorphins eh? But where got relaxed la! My body is sore!

Build confidence as you build skill — Playing a sport like tennis or doing yoga or Pilates is a skill you can continually improve. And as you do, you become more confident in other areas of your life as well. [uhmm soccer..? ahahha]

So, school is cool. I am not tired of it yet even if i have to wake up at 7am and be in class by 8am. Now, i even cook meals for my sister and myself. Im pretty proud of myself. Oh yea, I'll be sitting for my Physics quiz on Monday and Algebra quiz on Tuesday. :) Oh oh and i only found out yesterday that i already went around the sun 16 times! Yeay me XD One round = 365 days. Woooooo

Moving on i saw this guy at the gym with his sidekick phone. And i was just staring him and the phone full of envy. :( Sideckick = oh so hot. I also fell in love with the iPhone eventually but i really hate creating messages. It's hot tho. But just thinking about my luck with phones, i feel like i shouldn't get the phones that i want. I should just stick with old nokia phones or none. Yes i know what you're thinking Megan. "Her?! Pffftt She cannot live without a cellphone! " Guess what, i survived a week without a cell phone :P






im off now. gotta make some pancakes :) and oooo tea time :)

say bye bye

Alright, so mom and dad called last night and i told them the "big news". About my bag being stolen at school and finding it the next day but with my phone and allowance permanently gone. Mom was cool about it(not a surprise) but dad totally flipped. It was sad cos i only get to talk to them once a week and i have to go through this week with the thought that he's mad at me because of my carelessness. Also, this was the first time he got mad at me over the phone :(

I don't blame him. I have been careless during my stay here. First, its the money, then its the phone, then now its the money and phone. :( Right now, i don't even feel like getting a phone or money anymore. I don't want any of it. They get me into trouble just when everything falls into place.


Bye bye phones

and

Alright im gonna drag my sad ass off the comp or i'll get into more trouble with my chemistry lab prof.

just 10 more minutes and i have to be off to the football field for PE. You know what, this is what i love about living next to the school. AHAHHA. You don't have to wake up early, you don't have to commute, you don't have to worry about being late. It's our PE practicals today and we have to do juggling. I don't know if i'll pass cos i got a bruise on my right thigh. A huge dark blue purple bruise. >.< style="font-size:180%;">happy happy happy Chinese New Year :)





alright i am so dead. late late late

city life

I know i took a breather from blogging these past few days and it's simply because i have been up to a lot of things lately. Things that i can't be bothered to post out here :) HAHAHA. I think i have already gotten the hang of the fast paced life back here at Manila. But the part of being careful in the city, i haven't quite mastered yet. I lost my bag at school for a day and it was retured to the lost and found but all my money and cell phone was stolen =( I haven't told my parents yet. Im actually getting ready to tell them on the phone when they call. Wish me luck u guys.

Week after week, there will be quizzes for different subjects so i could hardly give myself some Kresta-time anymore. Im so stressed that when i look at the mirror, it's as if i see a different person. A different person from the Kresta i knew and saw three years ago. *shrugs* I will fix myself when i find time. HEHEHE


So on Monday, i've got practicals for Soccer. We have to juggle the ball for at least 4 times to get a passing grade for the practical and 10 for a perfect grade. Been doing a lot of foot work these days. Back to eating fruits and vegetables... I have to be in shape before we start playing 45mins 45mins soccer game on Mondays. And on Wednesday, i'll be having my Physics Quiz and i don't even get a friggin thang! argh. I am officially addicted to caffine. I really can not help it. I have been craving for starbucks like everyday. And of course, i like to satisfy myself. Teeheehee

Alright, it's tea time. Im off :) Another one of my cravings.

refresh

A start of a new day... I gots no classes on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays so Saturdays is always so refreshing. AHAHAHA. Anyway, i wanted to complete buying all the books needed for this term so i went to the DLSU Bookshop yday, and well, it turns out i forgot to bring my Book list. AHAHAH. I have bought a few books last week and i just need one more for Chem Lab and oh yea i need the Physics Lab Manual too. So i ended up just buying a Record Book which we would be using as a journal for chemlab. Went to Nationals to buy pencils, erasers, rulers, lab coat, yellow pads and other school supplies and i actually loved it. I dont know. I usually don't enjoy shopping for stationeries you see.

Then i went to sbux for a drink with Angela.... Asked about the availability of the 2009 planner and they're still out of stock. It sucks cos i have to stick with sticking post-its on my notebook until i get the planner. So i got the usual hot Caramel Macchiato. Oh and they gave me this sort of coupon. They said i could use it at any Sbux branch in the Phils, and i get to order ANY drink of ANY size! I once won one of the same kind... I think i was their 100,000th customer or something? And i won something like that too but i lost the coupon. Wahhahaha!

Anyhow, It's been so cold here in Manila these past few weeks that temperatures reach up to 18 degrees at night. What is happening to the world! Isn't it supposed to get warmer due to Global Warming? AHHAHA. Anyways, wear thick clothing u guys... Lets protect ourselves from catching a flu or getting a fever ey? Although i think i am resistant to it already cos i just recovered from a Flu last week. AHAHHAHA! But whatevs, stick on the safe side.

Went kicking a few balls Thursday evening and well i gotta say that i am so out of shape. Went for 4 rounds on the football field and i was already tired! I have to get back in shape or i'll fall back on PE. Not aiming a high score on PE or anything but its just that our soccer coach sounded strict when it comes to grading. I do not want to have to repeat FWTEAMS again.

I woke up kind of early today. I think it's because of my sleeping pattern this term... It's so screwed. I couldn't get my sleep so i decided to go blog hopping. LOL! Read a few blogs. It made my day cos most of them made a dozen of posts while they're suffering from Premenstrual Syndrome.... All pissed and mad at the world. LOL! At least they don't go around slitting their wrists and say "im emo" wahahahah


Alright im off. Wana check out some footware online. Any suggestions? I've checked out Lacoste and Marithe Francois Girbaud but.... i still wana check out more brands before i get a pair :) Just leave them on the Shoutbox or comment :)

autocad

This post is going to be super random. Im currently making this post during my AutoCad/LBYMEEA class. Lols... Our prof hasn't been turning up since God knows when! It's been one week since classes started and im not tired of school yet. Amazing huh? Met quite a few people already which is great. It ain't so bad being an irregular student eh? But first day is hell.. awkward! The blocks which stayed as a block would be staring at you as if you've got something on your face. But they'll lay off soon enough :)

My profs have been.... Great? My Physics prof is so weird but super smart! He sounds so.... educated in a higer than a high standard kind of way...? I know im not making sense but anyway, Chem teacher is awesome! Interesting and he'll ask everyone questions. He won't miss a single person so its super important to stay awake and listen. Which is a 50 50 good and bad thing.

OK stop with the profs.





It's great knowing a lot of people and all that but i can't deny that i miss my blockmates badly. Why are humans never satisfied?!?!?! Ugh.

Alright im off! Prof is here.

Oh God.

Someone just ruined my Saturday big time.

I miss Ate Angelers...

The Call - Backstreet Boys

The Call

Goodness gracious... I have just arrived to the Pearl of the Orient Seas a.k.a "The Philippines" last night and my gosh the flight was horrible. It was going up and down and side to side. I vomited every 10 minutes? One reason to that. First, i was sick and i still flew(i had no choice. I had to be back by 5th for Adjustment of Schedule and plus i haven't enrolled yet). High fever + Cough + Flu + Plane side to side up and down = Vomit. I have not been feeling so well since the 31st Dec 2008 and the post about New Year? That's not mine by the way. Ahahha. I deleted it. It's my lil sister's. She borrowed my laptop and did not sign out my blogger account before she made her post. Lol. I was surprised cos i didnt remember making a new year post. I thought the gazillion medicines i've been taking these past few days gave me amnesia. Lol. But once i read the post and noticed the style of writing, lol, i was so sure it was my lil sister's. XD

Anyway, New Years for me sucked cos i stayed at home from new years eve to new years day. I was just on my bed sleeping and eating and taking medicine cos i couldn't really move around much. I had a crazy plan of not telling my parents that i felt sick on the 31st Dec so i could still go out with me mates on the 2nd before i leave but then i thought about going to church and high heels and all that i was positive i wouldnt last. There was a hugeeeeeeee posibility that i'd collapse during mass so i didn't take the risk and so i decided to tell mom.

Oh yea! I went to the hosptial too and got a blood check. I was excited hearing it but when i was in the room itself, i was scared like a baby. LOL. But it was alright. The doctor just wanted to check if i had Malaria. Turns out the results were negative. And when it's negative, best friend, it meansss i have no Malaria. Actually i got it wrong too. Eehehehhe.

Leaving Brunei was darn hard. To my surprise i cried. It's usually my big sister who cries a lot everytime we leave but this time, i cried and she didnt. I cried when the song "The Call by Backstreet Boys" was playing. I was expecting to cry to songs like "Don't forget to remember me by Carrie Underwood" that moment but not backstreet boy's songs! AAHAHAHHA. So anyway yea i cried for all the special and great people i'll be leaving behind.

Alright. My porridge came. Its hot and nice :p Im out :)
