I love U.P.!

We went to the University of the Philippines and Ateneo de Manila University today and had our campus tour. I've never been to UP before and the moment I stepped there, I was in a compound-emotion state. The physical appearance of the place didnt appeal to me very much but I wanted to kiss the ground, afraid that I might never step there again after the UPCAT. Gad, I was emotional.


Here's my future school ... hopefully.

When the open forum began, I asked questions and I sounded too desperate to get in. I hope the speaker didn't notice it or if she did, well, it's already a given fact that many people aside from me are also desperate, right?

I want to pass the UPCAT and I promise that I'm going to do everything just to get into UP. I can kill someone for it if I need to. Bad 'yan, Mimi.

Do i sound too desperate??? Yeah, I don't think so too.

with that dead phone ...

Im eating Creamy Kisses now and I dont like it. I prefer the classic kisses or the ones with the almonds 'cause Creamy Kisses are too sweet that they make me cough. Lasang Chocnut.

I have problems problems about getting into UP. I know that i deserve to be in UP and all the hard work I've done through the years was only for UP. I don't want to go to abroad anymore 'cause i realized that it would drive my Mom and Dad nuts.

I gotta go ... thanks to Saab for lending me Gossip Girl books.

Yet Another Sports Day

We went to La Salle Antipolo yesterday to play basketball with them. I'm a basketball varsity player, y know, and it's a bit odd 'cause I'm really prissy. We trailed five points at the end of the game -- not bad! Plus, it was FUN, regardless of my thousand falls, dives, swims, and bruises. We lacked practice because the weather didn't permit us. And the La Salle team practices everyday because they have an indoor court. We have an outdoor one and that radically sucks. My endurance was also eating my game. I just scored the first minutes because I still had energy but afterward I felt my lungs and heart failing me. I guess i really need to take someone's advice to jog around the village. I'm going to next weekend.

I scored some points and that was a small number compared to how much I contributed to our score during our last game with them. My friends (who are not a part of the team) were there too and also some of my schoolmates. I dunno if they came to support us, some of them obviously didn't but most of them did.

Bleh.

Naaaaahhhhhhttttt!!!!

Natalie's movie, the Garden State, is out in theaters and she's going to be a commentator for the DVD of the flick. I don't believe this. I think I'm going to force myself to buy an original copy to make up for buying bootleg Cold Mountain. Pirated DVDs are in anyway. But I'm not gonna do that to Nat. If you're planning to buy it, here's what the cover will look like:



I'll just make this short 'cause I still have some sleeping to catch.

It's All Happening

This has been a great day & I dunno why. We defended our investigatory project abstract a while ago and they picked the Pro-Air (air-con project) over the Help Me Mama (incubator project). Lame, lame names, I know. We also had a quiz bee elimination and well, I got in. I got a 47/50 score in the test. Not bad. I'll participate in the quiz bee with Ella & Paula. Cool.

This is one of those (usual!) days when I'm so anxious about passing the UPCAT. I badly want to pass as if it's the only university left in the world -- and Harvard of course but that will always remain a dream. I want to go to UP because it's the best thing you can ever get into. The thing is, I don't think I'm good enough to pass.

Not enough.

So it's not all happening.

The Other Entry

Im really busy so i just stopped by for an entry. Im writing my admission essay for the Singapore scholarship offer to some students in school and I could not think of a topic. So, I started this essay on drama in the lives of the Filipinos. The essay will be submitted tomorrow to the embassy so here I am rushing off with it.

I was done typing the introduction and 1/4 of the body so I asked my mom to read it because i was excited of what she would say about it. And then surprise, surprise, she gave me a frown and a no-no.

She didn't like my topic. She said i should have written something about current events and the disadvantage of the growing technology. Good suggestion though, but I'm not in the mood anymore to write another paper.
