Things are so going my way today.
Suddenly, the time I usually dedicate to going home is given to my friends. I finally have them. Haha. It doesn't sound right but I, at least, know that they're there. To think that they haven't even read my previous entry.
As I was going out of school Kevin and his gang dragged (eh?) me in the steps of the SPS Building. All I did there was... sit, wait, and assist Marcia in that crude oil article. (We looked at this one. Ooops... divulging too much.) At the Cybernook all I did was go around desks talking to Ian, Marcia, Dian and John. Right there I had two new Friendster friends (Dian and John) and one new testimonial (from Dian).

Whatever that means. This post is divided into three parts. I do have a lot to say, so this may be a freaking long entry.
Part one's about yesterday. Weirdly, I went into the bus and sat on an empty seat - and discovered Marcia was there. So we were shocked to see each other. I learned I shouldn't crack jokes like mahal kita because it actually incudes headaches. She was feeling dizzy after the bus went tilting from one direction to the other, and she ended up sleeping until I (almost) woke her up to say that she's almost reached home. She was even asking me for help in her latest project (an article on the rise of crude oil in the world market, all for Ang Pahayagang Plaridel). I was beginning to laugh in confusion about what to do. She was asking me for oil prices and White Flower at the same time. But, really, this is funny.
And a little bit thought-provoking. She just told me she noticed me and Ira aren't that close anymore. I actually went into deep thought - yeah, we don't talk that much anymore, but I shouldn't feel sulky or anything... right?

With Sara and Lynne looking at my back (and Lynne touching my shoulder, but please don't get the wrongest idea because they just passed by and they're looking at my back and they're looking at my monitor - and I'm saying too much), here's my second attempt at posting almost the same thing.
She said it all over again.
Yesterday I was losing it, and then when I went home I was back to normal (thanks to a few people who happily replied to my excuses for a conversation - obviously something's going on, but anyway...). I don't know why I suddenly dreaded going to school. And then, there's a lot of people who suddenly sent in words of encouragement and a lot of taps on the back.

No need for explanations. I got it. And then suddenly I felt like I was insulting people along the way. No wonder I have (probably) earned a lot of raised eyebrows from you, my blockmates.
By now I'm so conscious about what I shouldn't do I end up doing nothing or everything. This is real conflict, I tell you.
I actually think nothing will work if you think differently about me. Like, who the hell thinks I'm gay? I may be noisy, yes, but that doesn't necessarily mean I am homosexual. I'm just being funny - maybe too funny, or too effective to make you guys think I am one.

Okay, so I did disturb every Blogger user in my links list with comments related to my uncanny sadness in school. I just don't understand what Ale is trying to say but, if it means good, then thank you.
Obviously yesterday I was full of strife again. I felt so terrible I actually disturbed everyone - I sent comments to Ira, Caresse, Jaja, Martin and Jackie (presuming Ale actually read my longer comment) telling them that I'm feeling sad. I didn't know what I was thinking - would I expect anyone to reply?
Then there's this shoutout. I began to wonder if what I've done actually produced a negative effect. Suddenly, I'm so guilty.

I finally got that line out of my system. (If you've already watched The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, well, I applaud you for understanding it. I think no one will appreciate it unless they know how British comedy acts like.)
Today was pretty weird. I, for one, is blogging in Netopia again because the Cybernook virtually shut down. I was in the middle of posting a more decent entry but they just won't let me post it, and before I know it everybody else were having the same problem (except for Sara and Lynne, who were typing something in the PCs and not surfing as usually thought).
Before that, I was feeling too hyperactive. I was literally rubbing elbows with people. (Don't get me? Never mind.) I was, again, feeling too comfortable with other people (even if they don't even care about me) and then I realized they are all frowning (or so I think) because I'm getting too noisy.

As of this moment another celebrity is lurking behind me. At the back of that person's mind the thought why is this kid blogging at Cybernook? must have crossed. But heck - who cares anyway? I've got a lot more to say.
This weekend has been pretty weird for starters - I have mentioned the fact that I missed my blockmates (which triggered a "that's so sweet" remark from Tracy) and then, there's me assisting Jaja in her blog (which is incredibly active due to overpromotion, but, sadly, you guys never got to hear it from me first), and then, the usual me acting as responsible student to all of us (that isn't the correct description, but anyway) by reminding Ale (this is the nth mention, so I better calm down) about her English obligations.
I noticed the last week I've been close to a few people - like that stranding and stripping theory (which applies to television, not women). So, when I was talking to Kizia about that film analysis, then that issue with Ira (see it unfolding, people), then the last few days it's me talking a little bit more frequently to Ale. Normal chat on school matters (perfectly expected since you're talking to me, I know nothing but school) but it feels weird to have a few days particularly attached to a few people.

I wasn't distraught when I watched the seventh game of the Spurs-Pistons series. My beloved team lost.
So today, at our Yahoo! group shoutout box there was nothing but Spurs victory statements. There was Jason acting like Gene Kelly (have I got it correct?) shoutout box frequent user Ale - and Ira, that girl who bet with her boyfriend (I think I mentiond that earlier) as the series began.
As for me, who went with Detriot all the way, amidst the majority of the block going for Tim, Manu and Tony... enough consolation. (Obviously laughing at himself very loud right here.) It was just a few of us but it feels good to have gone out of the way - and force a seventh game, the first since 1994.

I almost busted twenty or so points on my Anthropology examinations due to me overlooking what Professor de Guzman actually wanted us to do. It said give, Niko, not list like last time. Good thing she asked me to double check the thing, and I never realized what I did wrong until I read the directions five times.
That has been my problem since elementary. I'm overconfident in my abilities I actually make mistakes.
But the test was really a breather (despite me not answering number ten, part 1, set A - extra specific, really). I finished it in like thirty minutes (really, that's how I do it).

Aww, Blogger isn't feeling good? It seems you don't want to load your style sheets to the post pages. And, you're getting slow.
Aww, Kinja, you'll not update me now? Just when I'm curious if Caresse ever thought of hitting me in the back of my head because of what I said on the last entry. (Just kidding. Just to mention that someone actually saw it. Just can't remember who.)
Aww, Friendster, why do server maintainance now when MJ sent me a friend request and Ale sent me a testimonial?

Wanting to be noticed at the seminar on the works of Bosch and Magritte, I went to the speaker, Luis Mariano Akerman, and congratulated him, and shook his hand.
There I was again, making myself known. But I never got to ask a question: the time was up, as usual (I also never got to ask on the mining seminar yesterday, because I forgot my question, and then Jom took over). At least it wasn't as boring as yesterday's talk, although some didn't come, and the others that came didn't really pay attention. (Umm, for those who were there, I wouldn't mention it. I believe you know what I'm talking about. Right? Sorry...)
So, after we got a taste of some naked couples trapped (maybe) in a big strawberry, or shrimps cemented in architecturally-impossible buildings, we go home worried of another examination (not quiz) in Anthropology. Just realized our readings would take twelve chapters (or so I think). So I told everyone in our group: cram, cram, cram!

Since I promised myself (but never followed) to not go more frequently to Internet cafes to blog and listen to Radio 1, I'll be doing this thing in the Cybernook from now on. I wish.
Besides, I gotta save up to buy the albums of either Coldplay or Missy Higgins. I suddenly remembered Jason saying I should just get a pirated copy of it - I used to, but not anymore. I'd rather follow Derek's way and buy it original. (Not all of his CDs are, however. But that rip-off is only a dot in his CD wallet. That's a pretty specific explanation...)
Today I'll be spending one and a half hours listening to an art critic talk about Belgian art (probably, since Professor Sangil said he's Belgian). What used to be a two-hour obligation became a four-hour (maybe five) one. Oh well, at least we don't have any classes on Friday.

Finally. Me and Regine caught each other.
All that we probably did was talk about Isah and bungee jumping and the "Gloriagate" scandal. I almost forgot I have to go home.

Okay, then maybe I should keep quiet. Sorry.
But I'm surprised because what I did launched something out of (a few, but probably more) of us. Ayokong makialam but as a block (well...) I believe we should stick closely together and help each other out. The case is, however, I went a little bit too personal, but...
I suddenly feel fulfilled. Naks naman.

Some people are just so confused. They just don't understand so many things. On the outset they'll seem different, even isolated in some cases.
Sometimes it just takes a little bit of concern to find out something's already wrong.
Anyway, last Saturday saw the comeback of the central command - although this time I'll call it the support group. Exactly a year ago (well, maybe not), I was helping someone in an assignment - but think that I'm helping someone from another school. It's like, really far away (or so I seems).

This is another stub of mine. Later I'll post more, because there's a lot more to say. But the past two days the blogs seemed to have sprung to life and updated simultaneously.
First, I'm not confident in my Revelation paper.
Second, Jackie got into the Pahayagang Plaridel. I told you, you'll all fare better than silly old me.

Spooky post title. That doesn't mean nothing good will happen, but I'll try to keep my hopes up high that I'll finally feel fulfilled.
Anyway, this week has pretty much been full of happiness and anxiety. First, I never made it to the second round of The LaSallian's admissions. My name's not on the interviews list. I knew I wouldn't make it - I don't actually have the confidence anymore in my writing skills, since I haven't honed them in a pretty long time. As for my other classmates who have attempted to be a part of the Students Publication Office... good luck. You'll fare better than me.
So I ended up joining TeamComm, the organization for us communications majors. I regretted not joining Tapat (or Santugon, for that matter) last week. I felt I didn't have any purpose if I join, and if I joined it would be because I was forced to because probably three-quarters (or all) of my blockmates joined in either of the parties.

How does a chimpanzee look like?
That was a very clueless question of mine. The challenge was for us to show the differences between a human and a chimpanzee for Anthropology class. Before that I wondered about what we were supposed to do with the crayons and pencils Professor de Guzman asked us to bring. Then this.
So we were all trying to draw a decent chimp. I wasn't sure if I did correctly, but after around an hour I gave up, submitted my paper and left the room.

Something's going on. It seems the real characters are sprouting up. As some say, the horns are coming out - and it's no surprise.
For that dance interpretation thing, we all feel the pressure - us being the only Revelation class under Sister Pinky, and her notoriety for having two classes taking top honors (but never first place). So now, us being complemented as the best group (by Sister, anyway), and then we have to make it better.
But we are a block of performers. Good dancers and speakers and actors.

"No, really, can we turn this thing off?" the DJ said. "It's giving me a headache."
"Yeah," his partner replied, "it's beginning to grow on me."
I don't know who between the two is JK or Joel, but I finally heard that Crazy Frog song which is still on the top of the British charts. It's made a big fuss because Coldplay hasn't tasted top honors yet because this song has been beeping there for three weeks now.

I finally got to visit that mysterious visitor who posted on the shoutout box a few days back. And all I can say is... nice!
So, after a very tiring Tuesday (which, I have already told you, has rewarded us with multiples of four - look at how many blogs got overwhelmed by the aforementioned digit), it's a Wednesday. The classes are shorter, but I feel like I've been spending a whole year in DLSU. I'm like a froshie geezer or something.
My feet aren't feeling numb anymore after we got shocked into jive. (The same blogs also mentioned the same things. Think about it - we might think alike.) I was walking to the jeepney terminal thinking I might just stumble in front of the street because of my hurting feet. They're so erratic I stepped on a lady in the bus yesterday. I felt so guilty because she was staring at me real bad. I think my apologies didn't make it.

"Before we say goodbye to rumba," Professor Ronda declared, "let men show you the most outstanding dancers."
And so I watched as the usual people get called. But no - there were surprises. Aside from the expected Ale and Derek, three of my partners got called - Jill, Toni and Dhi. Along with Kizia and Clarence (I really believe in girls first before boys), there was Kevin, John, and two others whom I actually forgot. Sorry.
We were all surprised when Professor Ronda declared that he all gave us (except for three others who I've saved the mention for ethical reasons) a grade of 4. Four! That's like - perfect. When me and Martin were joking about us not getting four but not getting three either (we all thought we were good because it took us a lot of guts to dance under what we thought was a bad circumstance), never an inkling of four striked my mind. Jason and Sudoy even joked we weren't on demand (it seems no one wanted to dance with us) and I called myself a production reject.

People are beginning to find me. Really. They're finding me.
Why does reconnection have to happen in college anyway?
I've been found by old high school classmates from SBCA - somewhat unexpected and startling since I had some for blockmates. Nothing against it, but we're beginning to associate things that we don't want to remember, do we?

Stuck at Netopia again, wasting time and money because the applicant examinations for The LaSallian ended quickly.
Yesterday went on very well. PE, the subject we all used to dread, is becoming better. It seems all we needed is a little discipline and a lack of noise. Most of us are getting the hang of the dancing thing (except for the fact that some just can't follow the fourth variation pretty well).
I got pretty happy with dancing I forgot to let go of Jill's hand too many times.

Twelve weeks to go and it's the second term. Weirdly I've been looking forward for that. That's the time when I can say I'm finally not that much of a frosh anymore. I can finally blend in well. That'll take a long time, however.
Here, though, are a few things I learned in my first three weeks in college.
First, there's no such a thing as a second chance. Not that I'm singularly referring to what happened in Anthropology class - it's long done, and as some say, it's just an assignment - but there have been many times when I was given a second - and even a third - chance. One massive blunder and I may be out of here.

This day's a very long day. We have PE later at 16.30, and we'll be going to different classrooms today to adopt to my blockmates' report in Revelation.
We all seem tired, especially because we have a lot to do. Really - a lot. We'll be shuttling between rooms, breaks, submissions (in my case, the application form for The LaSallian) and PE class. I'll be organizing them once again... and if they don't come at 16.00 - which is really possible, since some are sending feelers of cutting the class because of too much time constraints - then I'll feel the things we all felt in the first day of PE. Nothing bad against it, but...
And some are wishing the Vietnamese students attend today. Which is impossible because they said they'll attend yesterday's class.

Another second post - but this time I'm doing something.
But I'm very busy talking to my blockmates without anything making sense.
But at least we're talking about what we're supposed to do tomorrow. Really busy, so to speak. But the last time I checked someone was attempting to strip on the webcam, or sing a Sponge Cola song.

Requirements for the film analysis are out. I'm huffing in overload.
Finally I feel pressured in college. And to think I was supposed to join the Frosh Initiation (that Amazing Race-patterned thing) but never got to because I was so confuised about where to begin. People just come and go, I guess.
Looks like everyone's confused as well. Thursdays are becoming such a thing. And if tomorrow we all get confused, that's worse.

Not another third entry... but since Icka (I think) uploaded the photo from English class to our group, then I'll post it myself. Enjoy...

Welcome to college life. We have a lot of things to do in the next few weeks. We have a critical paper to finish for Art Appreciation, and we have to do the reporting for Revelation (which is still in August, yes, but I have to act as Zacchaeus, which sounds weird), and another thing for the same subject - a film analysis.
Nice. Those things I never even heard of in high school (well, not really).
I decided not to watch the movie because of that. I even decided not to show up for Frosh Camp (which I was supposed to watch - sorry guys). I don't know. I was traumatized by what happened yesterday (which I never got to follow up today because the doors to the Behavioral Sciences department are locked. No teachers at 08.00?).

It was probably one of the weirdest things someone told me. I don't know whow it came out. It was just weird.
If you look at my Friendster profile then you'll see that the last five testimonials (as of now) come from either Regine (from first year) or Isah. Just think about what Regine said.

As I promised, I'll tell you about Ale's other time to shine. (I don't know. It's just, well, I wish I got the same attention even from other people.) It's funny to see that someone gets to dance with the teacher. No offense, but I just find it funny. Even funnier is that other special mention for Derek - he's got the emotions, according to Professor Ronda (or, so D claims, the lust - for what, for his partner Ira? I'm flying naughtily again, sorry).
PE this time went smoothly. Really smoothly. We have a teacher from the College of Business and Economics who's come to learn a little bit of rumba - and also, two Vietnamese women (presumably students from DLSU's graduate school) with really thick accents joined us. It was funny and weird but fun.
For the first time since three years ago I forgot to bring my assignment. That was for Anthropology class. I presumed wrongly. really. But I got Professor de Guzman to accept my work tomorrow (it's okay, she said - yippee! I've learned from that), so I better stock up on something. I have the notes, but not the output.

It's Tuesday! And you know what that means... it's PE day! And what else...
It's on twice this week!
Anyway, before I collapse and burn, let me cite some instances when I feel soooo stupid. Like today. I don't know... I was panicking for the wrong reasons.

We've got another date tomorrow. You know what I mean.
Anyway, today went out pretty well. It's a surprise considering things are really going wrong the past few days. I think I have (unwillingly) gained the sympathy of my classmates. Obviously it feels awkward for me to be given advice. (Hello there.) So I'll just go blog-tripping and worry about tomorrow.
I finally found one thing I've been searching for a long time - Icka's blog. I don't know - it must be interesting or something. (If this seems to send out a different inclination, don't think about it - it has always been a tradition of mine to mention blogs of people I know when I first find them. So please, please don't think this is some kind of special mention like what Ale thought. Well, there went another one.)

I am attempting to blog once again at room M306. Funny to think that people are doing wrong things. (Hello once again.)
Due to my very good heart I got an 80 out of 100 in my second test in Faith and Revelation. More surprisingly, I was tied for first place in my English quiz. (That was more complicated. I really had to think.) Someone - shhh! Better keep quiet or earn the ire of that person forever. (Maybe you understood me by now.)
But it feels so weird. At the start of classes I was feeling bad again. Now I feel like I have a lot of gases to release. That's bad, because I'll have to keep this until later in the afternoon.

This Saturday started good and will end good because, well, it's a weekend.
It seemed a little bit awkward if old friends came in knocking on your door - but in this case it was me who went knocking.
I don't know - curiosity, perhaps, or just a lot of free time thinking about what have been - but when I found Regine on Friendster, somehow something got off on me. I don't know... is it the fact that I once, in my ridiculously twisted mind, wished we were together. As long as I can remember we were not in good terms. She had that look in first year. Something like a raised eyebrow...

College sucks - I know.
That's another impulsive statement. How come college, which I have anticipated with much anxiety and excitement, let me down?
Today I feel in the middle of many opinions on how you should act. As I mentioned, some have advised me to keep it real and be myself (that's since way back when). Then, there are some people who want some aspects of your attitude erased from your system.

I got it correctly - I did see Regine from Norway through Friendster. So - how's the weather out there?
Nostalgia is continuing to run through time zones.
Anyway, nothing overly dramatic here - just some post to tell you that I woke up refreshingly okay today, but not before a lot of distractions. Someone was appearing in my dreams again.

Before you read my overly dramatic post below, somethings that aren't really part of the drama.
Like finding old friends. This is still uncertainty at its finest, but guess who I found. Isah must be proud (if the words ever appear again).
And taking advantage of old talents. I appear on Oneclick/comedy again (for this week only, so click now if you have the chance!)

This is where my high school education failed me.
I came from a really small school. Think of ten students in the entire graduating batch. My school isn't like yours; you must have had a share of what we are experiencing now. For me these are all happening for the first time.
Along that comes my freezing. In theory I can actually cope, since many people are saying that I'm really sociable. Yes, I think - I'm just holding back a lot.

I should keep my reactions to myself.
Today I felt extremes - from feeling ridiculously bad because of doubt (you must understand) to hyperactivity (you must understand as well) to, well, things in the middle of that. That's what happens if you get to have two classes and an afternoon all lined up.
This morning my mom woke me up and I wanted to refuse the order. Today I felt really sleepy. Good thing breakfast was really good.

Must... be... quick... Might... get... caught...
Anyway, I'm on room M306, one of the school's smart rooms. I just took a test from the Internet and 90 out of 100. (Kaymee got it all right.)
And I'm still amazing some people. Ira's surprised I still get to post in these cases.
