Second Monday and Third Tuesday of the school year.

You might be wondering why my title is Second Monday and Third Tuesday. Well, the school year officially opened on June 13 '06 which is a Tuesday (GMT+8). We should have began the school year on the twelfth but it was the Independence Day on that day (Philippines).

On Monday, I didn't write here so I'll just quickly write what happened. It was a....... typical day that morning when my Chinese Literature teacher said or had said that we will have a big test on the next day(Tues.). I was shocked because we only studied for some time then there it is -- a big quiz! Anyway after that, its like dejavu until near dismissal, my last class, when my Chinese teacher said that the test was cancelled - I was happy and sad at the same time(when most teachers delay their test, they will most likely be making the test harder. No.) Rumours started spreading that someone complained. I didn't believe
at first until Tuesday came. That dismissal, my friends and I greeted my teacher but to my dismay, she didn't even smile/look at me. (aw.. lol. Like I care!)

Tuesday, the sky was blue(lol). My first class was Chinese. I saw my Chinese teacher, she didn't smile the whole period.(My hypothesis is that she got scolded by the headteacher??/principal?? when he/she recieved the news. lol.). Earth Science class passed by(quite boring so I chatted with my seatmates). English Class was quite fun since we/all get to say something to the class. I was fun,really(It's a long story). We get to say our mottos in life . So after that, my friends thought that it was like a common CHINESE class again(by a different teacher), we got surprised when she said that we'd go to the auditorium to do or hear somthing. When we got to the auditorium, we only saw 1st year students (like me) so we wondered why were there atm. We found out that there were people that suggested (directly) to the principal (not the teacher) that the Chinese Test be moved to Friday or Wednesday. We had a meeting with the teachers and headteachers that teach Chinese literature in High 1. The people who reported were asked what was the reason why they reported it to the principal. Well, I thought they were going to be sermoned/punished for what they've done but fortunately, all they got was a applaud after they explained the reason(not sure how to say it since I'm only 13). Then we were all asked when we want to make the Chinese tests easier. Many wanted to make it easier. Then we were again asked, that if they were to make the standards lower(meaning easier) for the chinese classes then if we reach High 4 and graduate we will not blame them(the school/teachers). ***forgive my grammar as I don't know how to explain it well*** Only few raised their hands. Why? because if they were to lower the standards of a high-class school(meaning high class education)then it would not be able to maintain the level of the students that graduate in the school.(Many people repeat their courses in this school because of failing grades, maybe because of the high-standard education)Meaning that we, the students want to maintain the standards that this school was known for. After that we were asked(AGAIN.) when we want the test to be. We answered Friday. We couldn't have tests on Mondays,Wednesdays and Saturdays because we follow a definite test schedule for the chinese tests. That concluded the meeting to make it short. Gen. Science was always a fun subject since we make experiments and do activities in the lab. AP(Araling Panlipunan) was fun because IMO the teacher doesn't care even if we are noisy. I chatted with my friends almost all class but I also listened of course! We were then dismissed and that concluded the school day. Thank you for reading this long entry and bearing with my bad grammar and some typos if you've seen some!

Wonderful!

When I first played "The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion", the first thing I was amazed at was the music (although the graphics are also nice) . The music felt so pleasant to the ears that i payed more attention to the music than at the game at some times. Well, I can say that the game is as good as its musical score. Gameplay is a bit nice but at sometimes quite repetitive.

About yesterday evening I listened to Jeremy Soule's music (the Oblivion one) and I'm sure that his music is one of the best(if not the best IMO) in-game music or soundtrack i have ever heard. I'm not exagerrating, it's true! You can listen to previews if you want ;P You can find previews in DirectSong.

First few days in H.S. (exciting! or not.)

"Yes!" that was what I said to myself when i graduated. Now I'm in High School, with my friends of course, I didn't expect it to be so complex. ;P yes, it is fun but the responsibilities are overwhelming. (syempre at SJCS pa!) not to mention the loads of requirements the teacher asks, the many deadlines and projects that the professors assume you can do it without being so pressured (lol, saint jude nga tlga). The good thing is the chinese classes are ONLY in the morning in my class(H.S.1-B), which is good btw because after those terrifying subjects, you can relax and just sit and listen to the english teachers/professors.

"No!" I said that because i heard that we are going to learn "MAKABAYAN", which btw is composed of AP- Araling Panlipunan (History-Philippines), EP- Edukasyong Pampahalaga (Religion), MAPEH (Music, Arts and PE) i forgot the other one lol. ;P

Well, the good thing is that my teachers/profs. in english are quite good(in my perspective) compared to the others (bato-bato sa langit and tamaan wag magagalit!) and my seatmates are QUITE friendly and smart =P (halos lhat ata ng ktabi ko mgling magaral waaa!)
so i need to ask something I'll ask them (o dba?). (Adviser ko pla c Mr. Capili ;P)
