I should really be studying for my History test tomorrow but I still haven't gotten ahold of the outline I'm supposed to be using for my review. Oh, wait! Yipee! Well, it seems I just haven't been checking my e-mail in a bit. Someone sent it through Yahoogroups, alleluia! *smiles* Now I have a 14-page outline to drill into my head. After that, 2 pages of Theology notes to review for our quiz tomorrow. I hope the question tomorrow won't be too hard. I just got an F in our quiz in Philosophy. And here I was thinking I could climb my way to a C, whoopsie, I guess not! *laughs* Oh well, I'll just have to make sure I'll get only A's and C's (preferably only A's) from now on. Cancel the lowest quiz naman e.
Anyway, I'm beginning to think of myself as a nerd. All I ever write about here is school, school, school. But hmm.. nah, I'm not a nerd. I just find it easier to write about these mundane things than about anything that really has to do with me. Not that this has nothing to do with me, but.. I don't know... I just feel like, anyone who reads my blog won't really get a nice clean look at who I really am. Yaks, nagdrama! *laughs* Ah well, who says you have to paint a picture of yourself through a blog anyway? Then again, isn't this the whole reason we're blogging? To let others see a piece of ourselves? A piece of me, yes, but they'll never get to put the puzzle together if they don't have all the pieces. (Goodness, that hour and a half of Philosophy must have really gotten to me, huh?) *hehe*

frustrating...
I never thought this html business could get so frustrating! The computer I'm working on right now has two browsers, Internet Explorer and Mozilla Firefox. On Mozilla Firefox, I don't get to see the fancy scrollbar colors, but the size is perfect. On Internet Explorer, the scrollbar's perfect but the size of the box is too small. I don't get it! Which browser should I use as a standard? A lot of people are shifting to Firefox nowadays. Anyway, while I was able to figure out a solution to the "Comments" problem, I still haven't fixed the archive pages. I don't understand why they won't work, I just copied and pasted the same codes from my old design template. Waaah. Anyway, for now I guess the links for "Other Reads" will have to do. *teehee*
Monday, July 25, 2005
whoopee!
After a few hours of tinkering around with Photoshop and prowling through the net trying to find out how to produce the scrollbar thing on the side, I have succeeded in giving birth to a design that seems functional! Well, I had to forego the Tagboard, but oh well, I guess that's what the "Comments" option is for! When I find the time again, I'll have to fix the links on the sidebar.
Hmm...does anyone know how to make links around images transparent? I mean, so that there won't be another border that signifies it's a link? Am I making sense? *laughs* Anyway, I really should get to sleep now! Have to get rid of this nagging cough! It's going to be another boring day of school tomorrow. Good thing classes end at 10:30 for me! I get to go home early and watch a few more episodes of the OC! I got the inspiration for this design from the OC! You'll never guess how! Well, actually you could... all you'll have to do is take a look at the curly hair of the guy on the picture to your left. *nods head* Adam Brooooooody! *grins like an idiot* He's just too darn cute!

the aftermath.
Listening to: April Sixth- Dear Angel
Aaaaah! I can't stop thinking about that horrid Statistics test we had last Friday. And now, I don't understand some things about our case in Finance. I can get the answer if I use mathematical tricks like the geometric series, but I can't solve the questions using the formulas I got from our teacher. I don't understand why! *argh* I've tried using the formulas, with a little tweaking, and I've gotten the answers, but I don't understand yet why they worked. *laughs* Oh well, whatever.
Anyway, I'll have to remember to download the following songs when I have the time:
Hmm.. I wonder if I should change my blog layout to something I cooked up. My brother says it looks nicer than this one, but then someone else said that this one's still better. So hmmm, whose opinion should I trust? :p *laughs* I'll decide one of these days.. besides, I can always change it back to this if the layout doesn't work out nicely!

- Bad Day- Daniel Powter
- Stay- Cueshe
- Pag-ibig Ko Sa Iyo- Moonstar 88
- The Mixed Tape- Jack's Mannequin (sounds like Matt Nathanson)
- Wordplay- Jason Mraz
- Over My Head (Cable Car)- The Fray

dumdeedum...
I just realized that I haven't written here in a while! For the past week, it's probably because of that MEAnual I had to design and layout in just 5 days! Goodness gracious, it's a miracle Ferdie and I finished it with just enough time to get it printed for Wednesday's release! I can't wait to see my "baby" in print! *grins* Yeeeeey! I hope it turns out nicely! If it doesn't.. booo... I sacrificed precious hours of sleep for that thing! *hehe* Here's the cover!
Anyway, I still have around 60 pages of my Finance book to read but I'm really not in the mood for it. We're watching a movie in 2 hours so I'm kind of looking forward to that instead. Still, reviews for "War of the Worlds" haven't been good so I'm not expecting much. At least I get to stare at Tom Cruise the whole while. Still, I wish it were Brad Pitt instead! *swoons* I saw an old movie he starred in called "The Devil's Own" (with Harrison Ford) and he looked so handsome there, without the slightest signs of waning youth.
Babbling yet again. I wonder why I never get to write interesting things! All my writing skills have mysteriously disappeared. My brain is mush. I seriously do not want to read my Finance book! *whines* But I better get to it... read at least 10 more pages! Fine, fine. I'm off to torture myself with boredom now. *grabs Finance book grudgingly and plops down to read it*

let's kongo!
After typing and erasing my first sentence 5 times, I decide to forego all the drama, forget about grammar, and just type whatever comes to my mind.
I'm listening to Story of the Year's Sidewalks now after rediscovering it through a fun and brainless Nintendo Gamecube product of ingenuity called Donkey Kongo 2! Sidewalks is one of the songs you can beat the bongo senseless to! It's soooo fun, brings me back to those days when I'd jump around on the Dance Dance Revolution mat connected to our Playstation. The weird thing is, in concept, both games should be the same. Follow the moving arrows/circles and hit the appropriate things as they get to the line. But for some reason, I'm having an extremely harder time with Donkey Kongo! *laughs* But it's way way more fun, too, because you feel like you're this really cool chick who can whack things to a beat, and not like a flouncing bunny stepping on imaginary ants on the floor! Thing is, it's a bit embarrassing (well, that's not the right word) for a 19-year old like me to be going to my cousin's house just to play the game with my cute 6-year old cousin, Josh! *laughs* He has every right to be playing the game while I seem a little bit too old to be having so much fun, sometimes even more fun than he does when we play the duet mode together! Oh well... I better have all the fun I can before we get forced out into the real world. Who knows when I'll get the chance to just be a kid again?

rant rant rant.
Rotten luck + stupidity = bad day.
On the other side of the coin:
- A random number of 396 means you don't get any decent class choices for the semester that decides your life!
- 47,542.35 is not written as forty seven thousand, five hundred forty-two pesos and thirty-two centavos only!
- A 7:30-9:00 class in the morning followed by a 4:30-6:00 class in the afternoon gives you a 7-hour and 30 minute break in between!
On the other side of the coin:
- While I got stuck with a Dacanay class, I get to be classmates with my high school kabarkada, Diane, again! Yeeey!
- I got a "get-out-of-practice-free" card and had lunch with my friends at CPK.

boracay!
White sand. Clear skies. Sparkling blue ocean.
Grabe! 10 years- Boracay sure has changed! No longer are the shores lined with coconut trees leaning outwards towards the sea, they're now lined with hundreds of souvenir shops, cute little hotels, restaurants and bars. I should have known from all the stories about people getting drunk at Cocomanga's that there was a booming night life in Boracay, I just didn't realize that it's become that crowded there. Thank goodness we stayed at Friday's which was away from all the bustle at Station 2. There, my brother and I spent mornings trying to build sandcastles! Operative word being TRY. They were pathetic attempts, really. The decent ones looked like those igloo-type houses straight out of Tatooine from Star Wars. Our last two were meant to look like the Coliseum in Rome and the Parthenon in Greece. My mom guessed right on both so I guess they sort of looked like the real things! *hehe*
The sand felt so good between the toes! It was fun just sitting there on the beach at night, wiggling my toes around in the cool white powdery sand and watching the waves roll in and out of shore as a breeze blew. I guess the best word to describe Boracay at night (away from the bars and down by the shore) is romantic. Ayan na, lumalabas na ang pagka-lovey dovey! It was just so soothing! I could have fallen asleep there if the family had decided to stay out longer.
Oh, I saw Sir Danton outside of Cafe del Sol at D'Mall! *hehe* He's so funny talaga! I waved hello, and he said "Oh, hi! Naku, ang rami palang students dito ngayon! I have to behave myself!" *laughs* I made a booboo though. My dad told me I was sort of disrespectful because I didn't introduce them to my teacher. I laughed when I thought how I could have introduced Sir Danton to them. "Pa, this is my English teacher, he's the one who said that Jolly Spaghetti looks like a mop!" *laughs* And then I rememberd, I could have just reintroduced them pala because Sir Danton already knows my dad as Ato. I think they attended the same seminar or convention before. But anyway... there's always next time, I guess?
Anyway, I'm a bit at a loss right nowl, don't really know what else to write down. I guess too much fun in the sun melted some of my brain cells. Still, it's a welcome change from all the worrying about Math 151! Speaking of which, grades come out in 2 days! Eeeeeep!

that's odd.
What's odd? Well, I posted an entry earlier in the day, and Blogger seems to have saved it, but it's not appearing when I try to open my blog. Oh well. Maybe it's just on my computer.
I just set a new record for myself! For how long it took me to use up the ink of my trusty yellow highlighter. I thought the previous one I used up had a fairly short life, around the length of a regular semester. Well, this highlighter of mine, made by Faster lasted only 3 weeks! Yes, it lived up to its name alright! Faster, kasi Faster rin maubos! *hehe* Corny, I know... sorry. That's why you don't catch me cracking jokes, cause I make up really lame ones! *laughs*
I'm so excited to watch the new soap that's airing on ABS-CBN tonight! Yeeey! I just don't know what time it's going to be on, so I guess I'm going to have to sit down in front of the TV soon so I won't miss it. Ms. Couch Potato is up for another round of TV!

rambling yet again.
Listening to: Incomplete- Backstreet Boys
I just finished reading Nati's blog and realized that, "O nga noh!! We only have 9 days of school left! Whoopeedoo!" But before we get to that finish line, we have the following to accomplish:
Anyway, I just saw the Backstreet Boys' new video, Incomplete, on Myx today! *laughs* It's fun to go back to those teenybopper days. They've all grown so much older though! Goodbye to the Nick Carter with the floppy hair, everyone's matured! Although, AJ still looks the same, down to the same ski cap and goatee look. Anyway, I never realized when I heard the song on the radio that it would be from a boyband making a comeback. (Are they making a comeback or just recording for old times' sake?) Whatever the case, I actually enjoy listening to this song! It's got a different vibe to it, must be the violin in the background. The more I listen to it though, the more I question why I never recognized Nick Carter's slightly scratchy, totally distinctive voice. *hehe* I don't think it's the type of song that most people would like though.
Listening to: Behind These Hazel Eyes- Kelly Clarkson
I have 14 more page to read for Chapter 14 of our Economics book. It's hard to believe that I've actually read around 400 pages of our book! Compare that to one page for my Math book this summer! *laughs* And to think it's been only.. what, 3-4 weeks? For someone who normally does not bother opening books, and buys books only so that I'll have something to look to in times of emergencies, 400 pages is quite a feat!
Can I whine? It's sooooooo hot. And our electricity bill's skyrocketing so we can't just open the airconditioner whenever we feel hot, no matter how sticky the feeling gets. It doesn't help that I'm always home alone these days. Opening the air-conditioner is not justified when it's opened for the benefit of only one (me). I'll have to wait 'til my siblings get home! *waaaah*
I just finished reading Nati's blog and realized that, "O nga noh!! We only have 9 days of school left! Whoopeedoo!" But before we get to that finish line, we have the following to accomplish:
- 2nd Math Problem Set (due on Thursday)
- Economics Finals (Friday, tackling Chapters 9-15)
- Economics Research Paper (due next Monday, 5 pages)
- 3rd Math Long Test (next Wednesday)
