you may have noticed that this is my third blog for october 30, 2008.

it's not all the time that i could blog... because of time, and because of uhh.. lack of 'creative juice'.  so right now, i'll blog as long as i want. or can.

the last two weeks of october were, for me, intense. it was fun but stressful yet exciting but nervous yet sad but happy.  here's a rundown on some memorable days:

OCTOBER 17

MARIAN SONG-MIME CHAMPIONS! we only really started practice the day before the contest, yet we won! unbelievable. out of all the sections, we were the only ones without a Mama Mary, so we weren't sure if we got disqualified or if we have a chance of winning. i guess our strong points were the smiley-cross-smiley and G-O-D! haaay. I <3 JB! we wouldn't have done it without each other (naks!) go burgers! ohh and i read the mechanics. haha wala lang.

OCTOBER 17-19

SEARCH-IN CIRCLE 113 RETREAT! i really can't say much, but it was great.  i got to open up to myself and to others as well. KAPIT!

OCTOBER 21

PERSUASIVE SPEECH! I was initially fifth to perform, but since Paula didn't, I was fourth - and scared. I'm not that good with crowds, especially when I would have to act, but this OP wasn't so bad. It's partly because I wanted to make up for my poor score last OP (Greek goddess) and because I was quite comfortable with my class already. I had fun as well.  I got 18.75, which is great!

OCTOBER 23

HIP TO BE HERE! i was the opening prayer for this activity. the only reason why i added this is because i won a jacket from DLSU  it's black, but it kinda looks weird - parang motorcycle jacket-ish. but it's still okay.

OCTOBER 24

WATCHED HSM3 WITH FAMILY! we watched after my ballet class. IT WAS GREAT! there are some cheesy/corny parts, but other than that, it really was good. nearly all of the songs and dances were absolutely great. I especially like 'can i have this dance?' - you can see that from my last blog entry. haha.

OCTOBER 26

DUTY FREE + RACKS WITH FAMILY! this one's probably the best day in october for me - i've had a really great day with my family. we went to Magallanes for Mass, then ate at RACKS! THE BEST grilled barbeque ever! We ordered a family platter. IT WAS SOOOO GOOD! I was making Taking jealous just by texting him about it  Afterwards we went to Duty Free. Yeah, chocolates galore! We mostly bought food  I found my Nature Valley Oats and Honey! haha introduced to me by Ica. and lotsa chocolates, specially the Lindt kind.

OCTOBER 29

MIME PERFORMANCE IN CPA! our mime was for the fifth decade. i didn't know i was gonna lead the decade! i do remember volunteering for something to do with the rosary, but sir didn't tell me exactly what i was going to do. second, i forgot to bring slippers, so for the three times that i went onstage (prayer, mime, flower offering) i was barefoot. haha. we added last minute steps for our mime. this time we got it video-ed. we went outside the theater once we finished, and watched our performance. not to boast, but it really was good. that's how we got the oohs and aahs. haha!

for today, i played table tennis with ate. it was so fun! we kept on laughing and singing. the frog!  it jumped out of the thorny bush and we screamed!  and then i learned the first part of River Flows In You. It's a really beautiful piece; i really feel it when i play it. and the now - blogging for the third time.

oh yes. two days. that should be fun.

unsarcastically, there's halloween  it's gonna be nine years since i last did trick or treat, so i am excited. haha. plus i get to go around begging for candy with my friends and sisters, so i hope it will be fun! other than that, i get to rest and do some of my favorite pastimes (like blogging.), since i never really have the time during school, and if i do read/play piano/blog/etc., i don't prioritize well . third is family reunion! i haven't talked to my relatives for a while, unlike years ago when we all had the time to meet every Sunday. so.. yeah.

sarcastically speaking, there's still projects, tests and homework to be done. they had our so-called 'sem break' cut to make it two days (not counting the weekend, cause either way, there's no school on those days), plus they issue us projects with deadlines more or less a week away.

i'm using this day as a 'free day' - nothing school related. i do hope that that was good prioritization.

some of the things i have to do over the 'sem break':

•art project
•physics motion story
•filipino newsletter
•geom quiz
•THE skit
•filipino - read El Filibusterismo
•english - read Wuthering Heights

apart from halloween, family get-togethers and what else, i do hope i can finish this.

DEJA VU.

I wonder why I usually get that. Although it lessened these past weeks, I used to get one at least once a week. And I'm pretty much sure that I've felt those certain events happen before, even if there is a slight variation.

Like that dream a few nights ago. But I don't remember it at all, which is usual for a 'deja vu' event.

I don't even remember why I wrote this.

ayy bahala na.
