haay

I've been too engrossed with my multiply that I forgot about my poor xanga.

I MISSED YOU XANGA!!

So what has been down with me?

1. I'm class president of, by far, the GREATEST CLASS THERE IS! (♥♥4OrderDISORDER♥♥)

2. I'm graduating.

3. I lost lots of friends.

.I lost the most important thing I have.

5. I'm back in Delta Chi!!!

It's perio week now. I better go study now.

toodles.

Sem break

It's semestral break.

Sem break gives a little pain to my heart. And I don't know why. It's so gloomy at home. Especially because I'm the only child and I have no siblings whom I can play with. Jus went home to spend the sem break with her mom and sister and brother in our old house in Quezon City. And don't ask me where Cy is. I don't see that girl very often, even if we live in the same house. Besides, she has gimmicks with her mom. Lucky girl. So, I'm basically left alone here, with only the television, the computer, my cellphone and an El Filibusterismo book to keep me company.

My entire body still hurts from Intrams and Cientugtugan. I BARELY had time to enjoy Intrams or the concert. The only time I got to rest was when I was finally able to sit down, which didn't last very long because I had to stand up and run again. Don't ask. Long story. I really do actually need Sem Break. After 2 killer quarters, it's what me, my mind, my body and my heart need. At least 1 week's rest. I just wish it wasn't so boring.

Ok, updates on stuff:

1. HORROR HOUSE-- Drum roll please. We, the Juniors, earned the most money/chits amongst ALL the booths during the Family Day. We earned a total of 51,750 chits. Congratulations Juniors!! You scared the lice off the hair of the audience! To the monsters, ghouls, white ladies, tianaks, bouncers and all other ghastly individuals who participated, you guys have a gift from me and the HSPA. Class presidents, please give me a list of the names of the people who participated in the Horror House. DEADLINE: November 7 (2nd day after Semestral Break) BTW, the money we earned during Family Day will be used for................. PROM! I am so proud of you!!

2. INTRAMS-- Congratulations to all our Athletes and their coaches this year!! Even if we didn't win, you guys had fun, didn't you? That's the important thing. Guys, sleep the entire Sem Break!! You need it and deserve it! Next year, we can be better! Diba?

3. PROM-- Treasurers, I seriously need the money for Prom. Batch-mates, you guys need to pay. Also, when you give me the money, please include a list of the people who are coming to  the Prom. If we are not able to pay this November, we won't be able to have the Prom in Shangri-La anymore; the reservation will be forfeited. Treasures, for the money and list, DEADLINE: November 7

That's basically it for Batch Activities. You guys have a great Sem break! Enjoy! EAT LOTS!!

I love all of you!!

ETERNAL LOVE,

Crystal <3 <3 <3

Bulletin Board

Imma going to turn my blog into a bulletin board as well, so that people who don't pass through our batch board or get to ask somebody for updates can also update themselves on the happenings.

So, first:

TAMBAYANS

The Lunch Counters aren't going to be done for a while (October to be exact), so we (The Freshies and Juniors) are allowed to stay and eat in our classrooms for breaks for the time being. However, there have been concerns coming from barkadas who want to meet up with friends from other sections. Oo nga naman. If you guys are from different sections, how are you supposed to eat together? So, here, I worked this out with the people in charge. Here's what I came up with:

• Sections whose next classroom (after Recess and Lunch) are the special classrooms (i.e. Speech Labs, Science Labs and Music Rooms), you stay in the classroom you were in before Recess/Lunch.
• If your previous classroom was STILL a special Classroom, please find a tambayan in the following SUGGESTED free tambayans (meaning tambayans who do not officially belong to anybody [also meaning that if your barkada decides to tambay there and there are people making tambay there, you CANNOT make them leave]):

1. Mahogs (The Mahogany Trees near the Social Hall)- Please do not kill me or anybody else if you refuse to make tambay in the Mahogs. It is only a SUGGESTED eating area, to make you and your barkada's life easier (especially during birthdays, reunions, etc.). It is a really nice tambayan, you know. And yes, there are freshies there. Remember that they, too, still do not have tambayans, so you might find that you will be sharing the Mahogs with them. All Mahogany Trees DO NOT OFFICIALLY belong to ANYBODY, so if you claim a tree for your own and find somebody sitting there, you cannot make them leave. Of course, the rule would be to clean up after yourselves as we are sharing this tamabayan with everybody. Thank you.
2. Troika Hall (The HALLWAY of Troika Hall)- Troika Hall has a Loooooooooong corridor fronting it. This is also a great eating area. Although you will be sitting on the floor if not on the cemented "fencing"(?) for the courtyard, it is still a fun tambayan (tried and tested). Another plus-plus about this place is that it is near the washroom, near the school clinic, in front of the FACULTY ROOM (!!) and most importantly, close to the HS (more like right under) building therefore making it easier for you guys to hear the bell ring. Just remember, you guys have to clean up after yourselves.
3. Your beloved classrooms- I've talked to the people in charge and it has been said that classrooms do not necessarily need to be occupied by the class that uses it (although that would be easier). To the Barkadas who find it hard to go hunting for kada-mates during breaks, I suggest you guys talk amongst yourselves and decide on whose classroom you can go to eat and meet in. My suggestion is that you find a "classrambayan" in the first floor or at least the 2nd floor close to the stairs for easier access to the canteen. DO NOT FORGET: 1). Close the aircon, open the windows and doors before you start to eat so the next class will not feel stuffy or smell like food when you leave, 2). CLEAN UP AFTER YOURSELVES, 3). DO NOT TOUCH THE THINGS OF OTHER PEOPLE.

Rest assured that you will have assigned tambayans even before the Lunch Counters are even finished. Freshmen will occupy the 2nd floor. Juniors, the Ground Floor. After the freshmen elect their Batch Rep., we'll be talking about how we're supposed to divide the tables between barkadas.

So, that's it regarding tambayans. If you guys have any other problems, feel free to give me a ring at home, or in my cell (please ask my friends and classmates for my number. I can't post it here. Sorry.) OR come visit me in my classroom or in my class (My section's 3-Assertiveness. More often than not, our classroom is our HR, Rm. 102) OR look for me, I'm either in the New Building, or in the canteen buying turon, or in the Barrion Hall buying French Fries, or in the SC room, or in the 2nd floor, checking up on the people there. Thanks.

Next:

PROM

Do not ask anything about this just yet. It hasn't really been arranged yet. I'll be meeting the Tempo. Presidents regarding this and other such Batch Projects on Tuesday, 2:30-around 3:00 in front of the SC Room. Please, Tempo. Presidents, be there. I will need you to relay these announcements to your classmates for me. Please also do not make reservations for bands, or DJs (?), or make commitments or whatever yet. Don't even buy your dress yet (hehe.. You never know. We might not THAT kind of attire)! But, yes, this will be different from the "regular" prom. You wouldn't get what I mean, would you? Oh, well. I'll leave you guys to imagine a little more. Basta, I will REALLY REALLY REALLY need the Tempo. Presidents to be there on Tuesday for the meeting so that we wouldn't have any problems ragarding this and (again) other such projects. Thank you SO SO SO much. Please do not doubt. I will DO MY BEST (together with your presidents and officers [and POSSIBLE Prom Core]) so as to not let you guys down.

However, the Prom will not be our only project. It won't even BE a major activity of the batch, since this will not be school-sanctioned.

Next:

BATCH DIRECTORY

Somebody (I forgot who) suggested that we have a BATCH DIRECTORY for easier contacting of batch-mates, which is actually a really good idea. Especially this Junior Year, we will be finding it hard to hunt down our fellow Juniors. The purpose of this suggestion is so if we need something from our batch-mates, or if we need help, or if we need to ask something, it will be easier to communicate with them. We take out the "PAKISABI" trend because often times, it just gets lost in the sea of.. uhm, the process of finding the person, etc. So, please,  again give me your feedback on this.

FUNDRAISERS

If you guys have any ideas regarding this, please give me feedback.

So, there. The rest of my/their/our concerns will be discussed during the Tuesday meeting, so make sure each class has a rep. there. ALL information raised in the meeting is expected to be conveyed to each class, so people who will attend, as much as possible, please bring a notebook.

Also, please join the Batch Yahoo! Groups. Why did I make a batch Yahoo! Groups? Wala lang. Hindi, joke... Uhm, well. Ay, tama pala. Wala lang. We might have SOME use for it. Like posting photos and the like:

http://asia.groups.yahoo.com/group/ssc_hs_2008/

Please also invite other batch-mates. The goal is to get the entire batch to join. BTW, make them put "I'm a Batch-mate" in the request thing-y. Thanks.

Also, we have batch board for those who didn't know. PLEASE USE IT! It's really nice. It's located in front of Rm. 101. Please take time to at least look at it. I might (or just anybody, actually) have put something up there. Also, feel free to post your concerns, ideas, querries, news, or even batch pictures there. THANK YOU.

So, there. SUPER THANKS FOR YOUR TIME. Please give the link of my blog to other batch-mates so they can update themselves, too.

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU times infinity.

MUCH LOVE AND AFFECTION AND INFINITE XOXOs,

Crystal

When I was a kid

I didn't know I was such a crappy writer way back. While rummaging through some stuff, I found one of the short (REALLY short) stories I wrote before:

(note: I'm copying the thing as is so you guys can see what a stupid speller [and historian] I was)

THE ENGLISH WAR!!!

During the time of Audrie Hepburn if you everdid know her, the people of every country dreaded the Germans. They were conquerors of every land they could reach. Only one country remained incorrupt, that country was Holand. Those people who had relatives in Holand had to move with them. Until one day the radio man said, "The Germans have declared war in Holand". Everybody weeped. Fortunately some of the soldiers escaped the clutches of the Germans and built their homes in the forest. There the Germans found them. They fought until death. But the English won!!! The people of all the world rejoyced. Until no more war was seen in any country.

I mean, you do get the idea of the story, right? I guess it was am matter of oreganization of thoughts? Hahaha.. Funny. I don't even know if Audrie er... Audrey Hepburn actually LIVED during the time of the Germans. I'm not sure. Haha. Really funny. Oh, here's another one even CRAPPIER:

School!!! Homework!!!

What comes to your mind when you hear the word "Homework"? Sure homework comes from teachers and teachers teach in school. Some kids groan, some cry, some giggle, some clap their hands but me I say nothing, do nothing at all. I don't say anything because when you groan the teacher would get mad. When you clap or giggle the teacher would say, "Oh, so you know the homework already, you don't need to do it". 'Cause if you don't know the lesson and the teachers says the sixteen words you'd fail in your exam.

Funny how this "essay" has too many run-on sentences. Plus! WTF! What the hell were those sixteen words the teacher would say. Really funny. really stupid, too. Haha. But extremely amusing. I should try and look for more funny stories I wrote way back when.

Toodles.
