TIFFANY EUGENIO. She should be on glee or something. All these songs she does covers of... I normally hate the originals a LOT, but when she puts her own spin on it, gah. It's like that one episode where Lea Michele outdid Rihanna on "Take a Bow." sounded SOOO good when she sang it, but Rihanna's so weird, i never even knew how the whole song went until I heard it on glee. but deeeng tiffyiffyiffy... seriously amaze me and gawd ur pretty ahaha.
- Biochem midterm was coo. Walked out 10 minutes early, felt all happy cuz i felt like i did justice (i hope i did justice). - Shyd nd Jecca's engagement party tomorrow. EXCITED! - two midterms this week on thursday and friday =( - Katipunan Choir practice on Monday :D - JFAV on wednesday. Wonder if i should go? - Been watching One Piece. For funny animated characters, this is one of the most adventurous shows I've ever come across. - Wonder what i'll be like at towards the end of winter quarter...
Finally done with my first round of midterms. Feeling pretty good right now to have somewhat of a relief period. I don't know the scores for my biochem and stats midterms yet, but I got an 22/25 on my genetics midterm (average for my section was ~15/25).
Busy weekend and these first two days of the week.
Had a performance down in temecula on saturday. Performed 2 dances at this festival thing hosted at a local high school. Hot as hell. Took a couple pictures at Toys R Us with core team + jbat + kristina. Then all of us went to Sushi Asahi for lunch.
dexter nd jbat are thugs. I usually finish like one order before i get the next one, but since we were all at a table, we got crazy waves of sushi, filling the table to capacity. It was jus crazy madness, but i was hella happy and satisfied with however much i ate.
Got home around 5pm. madd traffic on the 15. spent the rest of the night studying stats and genetics. On Sunday morning, had choir practice. I never do get tired of hanging around with these guys, but I was feeling the anxiety of being unproductive with my time the longer I stayed there. it also didn't help that i didn't go to church in the morning, so when I got home, there wasn't really enough time to settle down and study cuz i had to go to life teen mass.
I don't really like life teen mass nemore. I know that in my confirmation days, I said something like "Life teen mass is what brought me into the church", or i implied that I was motivated to go to church because I was with my friends and could get sucked into singing the worship music over jonathan's/scott's lead.
Nowadays, because Greg is the new life teen choir lead, there's more inconsistency and hesitation. I know that not everyone's perfect, and that we all do what we can, but I can't help but feel discouraged to sing at that mass. It's like if I start singing, I'll get ahead of myself, or sing when I'm not supposed to. I'm also feel that his voice is more like a smooth rock voice, kinda like mae? iono. There's this one girl in life teen choir who does some super cool natural alto background :D lol.
Well yah. it was a pretty awkward mass. Dint know the songs well enough, wasn't feeling like singing along, etteka.
got home, crammed the stats material til 10pm til i drove back to riverside. kinda sucked when I got back at the apartment because i realized i had two homework assignments due for biochem, so i had to read for that too -_-
stats midterm on monday morning was crazy chill. spent the WHOLE rest of the day memorizing glycolysis and gluconeogenesis, enzymes, substrates, products, and all to every little detail =(((( i also crammed something like 1/3 of my genetics material before i went to bed.
biochem quiz this morning was so lucky. My TA decided to give us some relatively easy questions so I was ecstatic. I kept doubting myself because it felt too easy and as if i were missing some things, but yah to pull off a whole step of glycolysis and gluconeogenesis outta my head onto the paper, i felt proud of myself.
from 12pm-620pm, totally crammed for my genetics midterm. once 6pm came around, I was in a dgaf mood. All of the practice questions i was studying weren't helping me. they were beyond comprehension in a normal sense. I was simply like... you know how to do a punnett square? k then do work.
BAM. lol. got out with like 15 mins to spare [though i was pissed off at like 2 questions in the end and was still like dgaf] and headed to friendship games practice. SO MANY NEW FACES. GAH.
i like how when i got home around 9-930pm, i had to read again cuz I had biochem homework due for tomorrow. but i finished that up just now and I am feeling GOOD.
next round of midterms isnt for another 3 weeks. rawr.
but i have a performance tomorrow for this apsp opening festival... then theres friendship games practice thursday and friday... and friendship games on saturday... and pcn teaser night next tuesday YAY.
Pretty bored rite now. I HAVE to study for my biochem midterm this wednesday -_- gah so early in the quarter...
Have a couple things on my mind rite now.
First of all...
CONGRATULATIONS!)(*#&)!(#*& to Shyd and Jecca on getting engaged! I am so froud to be an accomplice in the proposal, even though I was unable to actually witness it, but OMG how exciting.
Shyd you are now beyond who I call a thug. You are ... wait for it...
LEGENDARY :D
I noticed on my facebook feed that today, three of my friends are celebrating their birthday. Tis a month of many birthdays i believe. Me, eleanor, and chelsi just celebrated our birthday this past week. Tomorrow is Richard's birthday, my anime sensei if anything lol.
The thing about birthdays on facebook... they're pretty halfhearted. I know that some people that have two thumbs and don't care about their birthday really. I know some people that NEED to celebrate it with someone. So when ic people on facebook wishing their friend a happy birthday, i can only assume that it's obligatory. When i blocked my wall on facebook on my own birthday, i got a "happy birthday" from the people who really did know about it, and who Wanted to wish it to me. ohhh the beauty of text messaging. I think it's much more warming than getting the same message over and over in different wording.
then again, getting a whole mess of congratulations on engagement... i think i'd love to hear that over and over hahaha. that only [usually] happens once in your life.
I did a baptism on saturday. I totally forgot about it -_- I was even getting scoffed at by my core members for claiming to be available on saturday when I was requested to do a dance gig. OH WELL. good thing I went home instead of stayed home in Riverside, thinking I would be available on hand.
I'm a bit upset at my availability to coming out to Katipunan events. I think I mentioned it aready, but This quarter, my genetics lecture fall on the same time frame as Katipunan meetings. Should I attend a meeting, it would be around 8pm, after ALL the ice breakers and most of the activities/education. And THIS week in particular, I have a biochem midterm on wednesday, so I have to be king of cram on tuesday night =(
Can't stress enough how awesome this seasons shows are.
The Office Wedding Episode = PWNIJ Family Guy = arite Glee = THUG Big Bang Theory = BAZZINGA How I Met Your Mother = LEGENDARY
It's 12:03am as I start this blog, but I'll talk as if it's still 10/04/2009.
I finished up my biochem homework just now. Pretty happy I was able to get some reinforcement with a couple of my friends. I think I am slacking off already, even though I have done all the required readings already. I'm just not on top of the material as if I could test on all of it... which is going to happen soon. I have a quiz on the 20 amino acids, as well as 8 sugars. I'm happy that I memorized all the amino acids of course, kinda behind on the sugars though. It doesn't really help that there are no pictures in both the text book and the lecture notes of the sugars I'm to be tested on, so I'm not going to exactly feel better if i'm forced to look at wikipedia.
When I woke up this morning around 8am, I felt a bit chilly. I moved some of my blinds to see a wonderful gloomy day with a slight breeze.
Automatically I thought "(WASH YOUR CAR!)"
Awesome time to wash the car. It did look pretty mean outside though, as if there would be some rainclouds, but I didn't care. It was the first bit of weather where I felt like washing my car. Now my car is clean :D it will probably be dirty by tomorrow morning, since my parking spot is uncovered.
Went to church at 11am. Audrey's song choices always make me wanna sing along, more so because I'm not totally sleepy and conscious of people my age around me and who actually give a care about how I sing. I find it funny when I try to sing a bass or tenor part to one of the songs filipino choir has sung before. I also am aware that my fellow members have the same proclivity <--- learned that word from Mr. Blevin's senior college prep english class :D
Spent the whole chunk of my day watching the 3rd Bleach movie and studying more for that upcoming biochem quiz.
So then around 645pm, Lisa and Miles took me to Islands for dinner with the people I love :D
Not gonna lie. I thought it was somewhat of an awkward atmosphere. I really couldn't talk about anything... bring anything interesting up. I even felt really restricted with who I could talk to. Then it got even worse when my cousin came, since he is so distant from everyone.
You know that feeling? In this example, my cousin was at a table of 10 or so people, where he only knew me and Lisa, and we were like all across the table, talking with my rancho friends.
It sucks being in those shoes. Like for me, I felt awkward going to Aquino family gatherings, because my only person to talk to would be Jon, and he of course would be preoccupied with the rest of his family.
Well yah, I wanted to talk a bit more with Ria and Christina, since I see them so little and barely even talk to them anymore.
Got a couple cards as gifts, as well as mechanical pencils from my sister (by request). I got a spongebob check from Christina. Too bad for her I won't cash in that check. I got a text from Eileen earlier saying the money in my card fell out. I was trying to be optimistic about it before telling her I thought I lost it lol. I figured that if the money fell out or got blown out of the card, I would just pray it would be received by someone who actually needs money. Oh well. I'm not richer today, nor do I wish to be. The outcome of today was just fine. Spending some time with the people who [hopefully] appreciate me being in their lives.
Highlights? -I wore a sweater today :) -Got to make some warm hugs with everyone. -"we're all angels with only one wing. we only fly when were embraced" (dug up from the archives...) -blocked my wall for a day. I thought it was amazing. Got some texts from more people I love :D
On another note, I'm VERY behind on blogging.
-FPAC. wow. Proud to be part of the Tinik team who I will describe as "Undefeated Tinikling Battle Champions." Deng all our 2-3 weeks of hardwork really paid off. We got something like a 54/60 score overall :DDD had lotsa fun with the people i love again. took some ghetto pictures. got some crazy cheap pan de sal. me nd dom got these spiffy katipunan shirts. I was unable to get an FPAC shirt in my size =( had kbbq at Mr. Lee's with more people that I love. I love chelsi's house lol.
-Disneyland Trip with Lisa, Gaston, and Eileen. Pretty chill day. Rode a lot of stuff? O.o Had guppies for dinner. Shaved ice ftw... and without a sweater lol.
-Went to LA to this festival which apparently has been going on for 35 years. Danced Pandanggo sa Ilaw (dropped my candle >.<), Jota de Paragua, and Tinikling. Felt pretty good about the performances overall though. Ridiculous amount of pretty girls. aye.
-Had a pretty fail Filipino Mass for the month of September. Hopefully it picks up soon. Simbang Gabi coming up.
-LOVING Glee, Family Guy, The Office, How I Met Your Mother, and Big Bang Theory! Awesome season for shows. can't believe i'm actually watching tv shows... even if it's online hehe.
-ABDC season 4? eh. Season 5 aready? ugh.
I may be missing more stuff, but maybe it'll come to me soon.
I like you :) Too bad we're so far apart.
Oh well you still make me happy. Can't help it. ahhh I wonder who i'll meet later in life. I wonder who God has in store for me? ...or doesn't have in store? =( haha.
ugh it's 1:08 am. i spent so much time thinking about how to make this last part ambiguous, but still convey my feelings.
Well, regardless, I think you made my day a bit brighter.
