and it kills me to watch you descend... v4.0 > >

I woke up rather early this morning, and since I had depleted my storage of creative energy the other night by writing out as many profiles of the Endtimes characters that I could manage, I was feeling listless enough to leave for Foreigner's Filipino class early, which I did. I couldn't remember where I was seated until the role call started up. There's something utterly confounding against brown wooden chairs in rows and columns in that sense. Extremely hostile to a sluggish, sleep-ridden brain stuck in between the process of remembering and tuning the rest of the world out.

Half of the class was late, but the session was good; having my current teacher is a refreshing experience from the last time. It's always good to study under someone who doesn't think that your whole class is stupid, or something. Got a little carried away with the group activity wherein we have to write a paragraph containing the words emissary, vociferously, shine, crawl, hurl, maudlin, intercemine, manna and Pitimini (the last one is something our teacher actually made up).

Since we were dismissed fifteen minutes before 11 o clock (more than an hour early), I hung around in the Cafeteria with some of my classmates. We talked about our current teacher, our high schools, and our trouble with the male species. Khursten dropped in and joined us for a bit. It was cool.

Sonetto texted me on the pretense of meeting up since he had been in the area. It was a shame that Smart decided to lag at that moment, thus making it all too little, too late.

Read Neil Gaiman's Endless Nights on the way home; once I started, I couldn't put it down. Was pleasantly dizzy over lunch, where I ate with my mother, who was troubling herself over the lack of color coordination in our Christmas decorations. Went out with her and two of my brothers to go to a bazaar. Shopped till I dropped.

About 15 minutes before this moment, I suddenly remembered that I have papers due in English 12 and Literature 14, respectively. Saturdays has become the ultimate Deadline Days, it seems.

Watched the Xenosaga ending. It isn't worth it.

On a final note, mother is still negotiating with Father over the large amount of money I wish to withdraw to indulge myself and spread Commercial Christmas Joy to my friends at the end of this near. I pray that such talks bring good tidings.

Today was the Typical Friday, if I do say so myself... English 12 went by well, Literature 14 was the same old Group Dignity Stripping Session that it always is when Sir Max listens to group reports, and break time at the Caf was fun.

I cut Physics in order to work on the character profiles for Endtimes. I'm STILL not done.

Today was supposed to be a long one for me because of the LitSoc General Assembly. Trouble is, near the end of the afternoon I was feeling ill, so I ended up calling in sick and staying home. I'm doing better now though.

He made an attempt at inviting me on another date. o_O I told him I was busy. *safe* I'm really, REALLY not interested in this guy, but he's just so persistent... it's rather annoying.

On a last note, I got my yearbook from Mayene. It was well-made... got to see the picture of the Povedan who very recently committed suicide. Did I mention that she hung herself in front of her boyfriend's house?

Today was VERY interesting... first period (Math 11) was a free cut because our teacher was sick, so I bummed around on the top floor of the Cafeteria with Rej... we discussed my Problems With Men. Rej felt a little bad about bringing the topic up, but it was all right. ;^_^

The rest of the afternoon was kooky. I hopped around all over the place with Math Khursten, and got myself into another series... it's a novel/drama CD set called Trinity Blood, and it's really big in Japan. BEAUTIFUL stuff, mind you... BEAUTIFUL. I usually don't spend on artwork, but I took one look at the bookmark set on display at CCHQ and P750 just flew out of my hands without any sense of remorse.

A little background. Trinity Blood revolves around the situation of a country called Methuselah where there are three groups at war: The Empire, The Vatican and The Order of Rozen Krauz. The main character is Abel Nightroad, and the story tracks his exploits as an agent for The Vatican. Mind you, the artwork is worth dying for... I've never been this impressed with any single series. Expect future layouts to feature characters from Math Trinity Blood, if I don't end up putting up a gallery for the thing. ^_^

Anyway.

Continued bumming around until 6:45 on campus... Khursten and I worked on the character profiles for Endtimes. Suffice to say, we had a lot of fun doing them...

On a darker note, a Povedan very recently committed suicide... it is said that she hung herself in front of her boyfriend's house. o_O Sad, huh? All the Povedans down at Ateneo were buzzing about it... it is quite disturbing. I can't imagine killing myself over anything, really.

Dragged myself out of bed early to go to group practice at a friend's place... we're supposed to be doing a scene from Oedipus Rex. I'm NOT looking forward to presenting it in class, just so you know.

So much for the one-day break. *sighs* I'll be leaving home again to go out and watch this play for my Foreigner's Filipino class... the thought of being with some certain individuals in the same theater makes me shudder. o_O

Ho-hum. My dad says music from pRO is addicting. Perfect for hooking young boys and girls to a chance at mindless, online entertainment. *hoho* He's actually right.

*breaks her teeth over her little brother's gumballs*

Geezus. Anyway.

Considering the fact that all my friends will be bumming around on campus all afternoon, I'm contemplating the thought of cutting Physical Fitness class. We'll have to see what tomorrow brings.

Hm.

*checks watch*

I'm not supposed to be up THIS early. My biological clock is all screwed up... if I sleep before ten, I really DO wake up at three. -_- The fact that there are no decent fanfics to read doesn't help much.

If it wasn't for the fact that I have to buy a PE shirt and the tickets to the play that my class in Foreigner's Filipino today, I'd totally cut class. Maybe I'll do that anyway... not in the mood for dragging myself through Math 11 or Physical Fitness. Would make rather be working on Endtimes, or watching a few more episodes of Prince of Tennis.

*lol*

Did I mention that I managed to get two of my brothers into the series? ^_^

Hmm... this weekend proved interesting enough. I had a long talk/bonding session with my family members on Friday night regarding my two siblings abroad and their situation. It was a fulfilling discussion in the end, though I ended up waking up feeling like I was run over by a train because we all slept so late.

Our teacher in Foreigner's Filipino called in sick the next day (Saturday), so we had no class on Saturday again. Bummed around with some of my classmates while waiting for my driver. I ended up collecting an insanely high amount of money from my classmates again because of the play that we've been assigned to watch on Wednesday night.

Watched some more episodesPrince of Tennis on Saturday afternoon (one including the famous showdown between Foreigner's Hyotei's Atobe and Seigaku's Tezuka ^_^), and then I did some more writing for Endtimes... seems like doing a general outline of the thing really helped me after all. Had to cut creative time short in order to write this worksheet thing out for Foreigner's English 12, but that was done quickly enough.

Went to Mass on the eve of Saturday, leaving today free. Spent it playing pRO with my bro and some of our guildmates... it was really cool. We've never picked up this many rares in the span of two days, and some of the stuff we got is REALLY rare in the game. Seems like ever since we set up the guild, cool stuff has been dropping from the sky on us.

After I print out my work for En12, I'm going to watch a little more of Prince of Tennis then brush up Chapter 30. Monday draws near.

I am currently suffering from a Tenipuri overdose... Khursten just gave me a whole lot of stuff along with the doujinshi scanlations I managed to dig up of two of the coolest pairings in the story. O_O I don't think I'll be getting any sleep tonight.

Ho-hum. The ACP class I signed up for didn't turn out that bad at all... it was entitled Face Thy Faith, it being an open forum on the Catholic religion and all. Of course, a lot of the people asked stuff that I had already taken into consideration a long time ago (so it wasn't THAT new or groundbreaking for me), but it was intriguing enough. Khursten said something along the lines of "they reek of holiness" about the speakers... the two of us were shooting ideas and visualizations for Endtimes back and forth during the class. ;^_^

The guy in my Foreigner's Filipino class that I used to be annoyed with isn't so bad after all. A little direct about things and not so smooth when it comes to the front play (good thing Khursten provided my ride home... wouldn't wanna be stuck in a car with him...), but decent nonetheless. I wish he wouldn't text so much though. -_-

Speaking of Foreigner's Filipino... wah. Don't wanna go to class tomorrow. I'd say my only motivation would be that Joanne will be around to give me more episodes of Tenipuri!

Today started out on a blah note; there were only three people in the classroom. Everyone else arrived at the very last minute before the first bell. o_O Talk about semestral break hangover...

Managed to get three of my topics for my argumentative research paper in English 12 approved by some miracle; Sir Vince seems adamant on me doing something about Pilipino comic artists. I just might try that on for size.

Literature 14 was a brain killer. Asked Rej about the extremities of one of our common friend's mood swings over the recess period; she said she didn't know what was wrong. Then it was back to the brain killer that was Physics. Things were fun during the long break... Joanne, Khursten, Mia and I all hung out at Kamirori and gabbed about the Pinoy otaku scene. With the C3Con just around the corner, I just might dress my little brother up as Ryoma Echizen and give Khursten a chance to be her usual shotakon self. ^_^v

Lab proved to be taxing... the whole class was tearing their hair out over the problems we had to solve based on a set of really vague graphs and horrible reference points. When my group finally got it, however, the sense of elation was beyond description. *lol*

Khursten was supposed to tell me something really cool about Endtimes, but she completely forgot after the work we had during the Lab period. T_T

Am currently reading through the first chapter of a manga called Yougen no Chi before I go off on another Prince of Tennis marathon. Kakkoi desu...

Slept rather well for the first time in almost two weeks, so I woke up with minimal fuzz disrupting my thoughts. Thankfully, having Math 11 didn't ruin my countenance... the lesson was actually pretty good. I feel like I walked out knowing something more about what has been my worst subject since first year high.

The four-hour break between that and my next class grated on my nerves; the first hour was bearable since I hung out near the tennis courts with Khursten and Joanne (they were doing their data tennis thing ala Inui from Prince of Tennis, but the rest was a huge time waster spent waiting for my boss in Formations who never showed up for our meeting. I'm beginning to see why some of the members just can't get along with him... oh well.

Did the 1-Mile Run for PE 105; it wasn't so bad, though I did come out of it flushed. My maid joked me, saying that I got a lot prettier all of a sudden... rosier cheeks and all that.

Ho-hum. Logged in to pRO just long enough to get my ear muffs from my little brother... all the flooders and begs for a magni party got annoying in a matter of seconds, so I'm off again. Might do some writing (...here's hoping...) for a bit to wait for all the weirdos to sign off so that I can play.

Won't be getting episodes 27-50 of TeniPuri till tomorrow... darnit.
