It's fcking 28° C in Manila and it's the coldest it's ever been this year. How sad is that. It makes me miss Hong Kong so much. I have this natural automatic dislike for the Philippines because 1) it's hot 2) hdsajdh innocence, what innocence? 3) and idk, the general attitude. I miss being a kid in a foreign country.

I think I liked and hated MSEP camp at the same time. Definitely one of the worst nights of sleep in my entire life, second to Paulink and the whole having to sleep on the floor ordeal. The room we had was terrible, no lights or curtain when we came in initially, no lie. And it was goddamn scary as hell with the creepy unfinished pool right outside and the fact that the room beside was empty yet Sunny insisted that she heard sounds. Roommates were nice (Kyla, thank you so much for lending me your balnket :(() but THE WATER. MY GOD. JFC. THE WATER. ICE FCKING COLD. NEVER AGAIN. We all looked like idiots stading beside the running shower and poking fingers to see if it was bearable. I swear.

I'm so tired. The military camp was cool but the next morning had me groaning while we did the morning stretches. Pabo should've won the Amazing Race. -__- Awkward batch performance was awkward. Again, one of the things I will never do again. TREK WAS SOOO FUN. Haha, it was so cool that Kyla, Anina, Sunny and I just randomly walked around and stared at eating horses and pockets of sunshine and attempted to have fyeahawesomejumpshots.

BUT OH WELL. Crapiness and awesomeness is over. At least I can play Sims 3 now and futilely attempt to finish Pauliworld. SAT results on the 22nd, waaaaah.

Gubat rocked Speech Choir. I know we should have won first. Here's a woot-woot for me first miniscule step towards choreographing KPop MVs. \:D/

Football has been such fail. I think I actually prefer last year's rigorous(WTF-CC word)/extensive training rather than nothing at all. I miss my football days. I'm being such a hypocrite by wanting and not actually doing anything to get it. I must remind myself that this, the stress, the dreams, the testing (JFC, the testing), the lines, the filling up of forms, the essays, will all end by February. Which is still too far away. Fck.

I think I'm actually passing my exams. A complete foil when compared to what I felt right after, or maybe even during the SAT Subject tests. This incident is the first time in my life wherein I actually want to resit through torture.

All for HKU. and NUS, because I can't seem to think of anything that rhymes with NUS and I'm really worried about Physics tomorrow. Hello overconfidence, such a familiar friend you are.

~Give me a boy in skinny jeans, vintage tee, plaid and over-grown hair and I will love you - and him - forever. I promise. My name is Minho. <3

TODAY WAS THE BEST MTG DAY EVER. Sir San Gabriel shall live in our hearts forever. Since it's the last time we'll probably ever see him again, I guess the stalking shall be initiated now. 8D

But seriously, MTG is practically Math SD minus EM and plus Lizzie (who I love) and Athena and Sam. That's awesome. Total debate mode today. :D

Ahuhuhuhu. SO BUUUSSSY. Here's to finishing my Physics paper, Pauliworld layout, CL homework and whatever shit I still need to do.

I want to buy stuff. :(

I'm so bored and useless. School is sucking. Alexi Calingo, Sunny and now this? Wow. Can't we just rewind to the first day of school?

I NEED TO ACE THESE SUBJECT TESTS. MUST HAVE 800s.

MANILA - A sedan toppled three electric posts in Barangay Ugong, Pasig City, prompting a school to suspend its classes on Thursday.

Police said Toyota Vios driven by a woman, who is reportedly a granddaughter of Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency chief Dionisio Santiago, rammed a Meralco post on St. Paul Street right in front of the St. Paul College.

Two more electric posts were toppled after the crash, resulting in a power outage around the area. The school has suspended Thursday's classes.

Reports said it would take time to replace the toppled electric posts and the restoration of power supply in the area.

Korean boys are my version of a prostitute. Shallow little pleasures that make me happy.

Oh shut up self. Why are you so chatty today? I love it.

EDIT (because it's too embarrassing to have its own entry): I just realized my favorite part in Love Like Oxygen is sung by Taemin. Ommmmmg.

Today was slightly better! Half the team met up at MC before hurrying to BSM via Kathy's, Pia's and Mai's cars. Apparently our stupid coach got not only the opponent wrong but the time and date as well. When we arrived at BSM, everyone was worrying and rushing to put their socks and shin guards. We started warming up and sweating like crazy until Mai's mom had the reason to ask the RIFA Officials. -___- Apparently, it starts 10. Needless to say, we were all pissed and 'gahhh. this day sucks!'.

The game was okay. We lost. I was hoping/expecting that La Salle Antipolo was not good but they were. Grrr. Final score was 6-0. And here are our excuses: we were pissed off, no coach, no subs (I PLAYED A FULL 90!), and we haven't trained properly for weeeeeks. Marian was particularly amazing (fierce head!). :D I didn't play so well but I'm getting there.

Report cards! I'M AN ACADEMIC AWARDEE! 8DDDDDD But only by 0.00 points because I'm a flat 88 in Filipino. -__- BUT NEVERTHELESS. MY AVERAGE WENT UP! \:D/

Also, it was Jose's interview day for Ateneo. I think it went pretty well and apparently the interview guy noticed that I was in my football outfit and made it a topic of conversation. I really hope Jose gets in. 8D Two Amantoys in Ateneo would be awesome \:D/

I HATE THIS DAY.

The Replay Piano version makes me cry. I think I've grown an unnecessary emotional attachment to SHINee already, the same kind I have with Manchester United. I'd like to believe it's because I've grown fond of them on my own. Or maybe because the piano was played really well and the song is just awesome to begin with. Or maybe because I read somewhere that Jonghyun (who I love so much right now) describes the best feeling ever as hearing the opening part of Replay while standing on dark stage with 4 of your best friends around you, ready to do the one thing you absolutely know you're made to do. I think that's beautiful.

I looooove this song. It's such a SHINee day.

I sense the beginning of something awesome a new pop industry. I don't know whether to like it or not. :))))))) MAYBE I DO. SO WHAT.  

KYLA. I think this is our dream coming true na. =))

HECK YEAH. I WANT TO LIVE IN A SHINEE WORLD. :(

Yaaaaay the exhibit is done! I think it's amazing that 6 people managed to cram an entire exhibit about a foreign country in less than 2 hours. FYEAHHH. I would have been so much more awesome with actual snow and some dry ice. But honestly, it looks AWESOME - the right mix of aesthetics and information, if I do say so myself. Room 6's mini models were awesome as well. Marina does everything so well. :D

I'm incredibly worried about the Pauliworld contest issue deadline. It's less than a month away and still no news or assignments. Layouting something to perfection takes a long time and THIS NEEDS TO BE PERFECT. I really really want to win best layout for Pauliworld. :(

There's also speech choir coming up. It's on the day of RSSPS. I'm not part of it but Din, Rach, Sarah and Mika are and it's going to be incredibly difficult doing this without them. :( Guuuuh, I still don't have any ideas for the actual production side of the speech choir.

So much stuff to do, plus I still need to get my applications done and my transcript from the registrar.

I think I need a life.

I have a moleskine now!!! WOOHOOO! It's a 12-month Weekly Horizontal Soft Cover planner and it's perfect. (A 18-month planner would work too haha, just so I could start using it right now) I bought it at Fully Booked the other day, after meeting up with Pia and Nikki to do some LoL-ing. It's P1099. It's sad that I didn't wait any longer though. There was a 10% discount for all moleskines at Bestseller yesterday. -___-

It's now neatly tucked between my college apps plastic envelope and the Twister box. So excited.

Speaking of college apps (my favorite topic, obviously), I was googling stuff about NUS and SATs and apparently 2150+ on SAT Reasoning and 780+ on Subject tests would be the highly recommended scores for NUS. :( Considering that I was already freaking out over the '2100 would be minimally sufficient for a competitive application' note I found in the prospectus, this has made me all sorts of worried. I NEED THAT 800 ON MATH II MORE THAN EVER. (Boo Barron's. :|)

I still don't know how to fill up the application. I'm considering asking some Pinoys at NUS for some advice. -__-

Oh god. I really hope my score of 2110 in my SATs would be enough for NUS. I've googled it manically for the past few days and according to a lot of boards and the official nus 0910 prospectus, 2100 would be a good score and is considered 'minimally sufficient for a competitive application'. Well, I HATE being in this insecure position of not knowing whether you're good enough or not. Guuhhhh, being borderline is so risky. -__- Though I eerily appreciate that Math II is compulsory (seeing as I've been recognized for being good in math), I've been skimming through Barron's How To and it's so freakin' hard. Half the topics in the diagnostic test I have no clue about. Oh functions. I need to 800 my Math II. :(

God, if you're listening, you probably noticed by now that I have diligently prayed for my acceptance into NUS or NTU or any awesome university for the past 3 months. I have shamelessly factored my college application into many decisions regarding joining extra-curricular activities only to find out that the one school I desperately (I am considering sending a huge package containing awards, Pauliworld contest issue and other materials just to impress adcomm) want to get into is merit-based. I believe this is what most people call karma.

Please oh please oh please.

I feel like I'm 8 again. Except it's not Barbie dolls I'm crying for, it's non-rejection to the place I really feel like I should be.

So here's to a brand new journal.
