the 26th of October…

i know this post is kinda lateand I’m sorry about that, but this is the 1st chance that i finally had time…been really, i am mean REALLY, busy lately…you would think it wasn’t sem break..

let me tell you something about our so called “Sem Break” :

1.  it is way too short…

2. we have too much assignments and it’s way too short…

well, you get the picture…anyways, the 26th of October was the day before sem break and we had a couple of activities…

we, the dbmc, were to play as the Rizal Memorial for something, sorry don’t know what the event was called ,and what it’s for(haha), all i know is that there were other Chinese schools and i think there was a dance that the teachers did..something like that..anyways, i arrived at school at about, maybe, 5:20 in the morning…my friends and i had this kind of agreement to come to school early and i ended up being the 1st in school followed by lorraine and angel…anyways, after that more and more people showed up, problem was, we couldn’t get our instruments because the people who had the keys were not yet there..so, we waited and waited and waited…eventually, chr lao chr arrived and sed that we had to be there at 6:30 and we were still no where near inside the room…when our president finally arrived, jo (quarter master) was already there, well we didn’t really know until we got up, so we were still waiting downstairs…..we got all our instruments, waited for a few more people and we were eventually off…

on the way, me and herizza had a little bit of fun dancing around and stuff…you know, just trying to make the buz a little more lively…

when we got there, we were late, haha, all the waking up and being early and there we were LATE,..anyways, we went to our positions and everything and started playing, our president gave us a couple of songs we should play since sir was not there yet….the 1st one came smoothly but when it came to the second…i was like, oh my, what is happening?????we weren’t playing together, loosing the beat and all the other things that could go wrong went wrong…dadi (for any follow-up mentions, he is the president, we just call him that) gave us some encouragements and all, but in the end, i think the people there noticed we were losing it and just told us to play the National Anthem…after that, well, we just hung out a bit and back to the bus…

our teacher gave us some food and stuff, we like played around in the bus a bit and then went back to school..we got there at about 9 something i think…we had a meeting, dadi appologized if ever he said anything bad that might’ve hurt or something, because he did get a little mad..he said, it was like we didn’t practice at all….so credit to him for that…and then the usual announcement, be back at school at about 2 for the procession and all that…so some people went home, others went someplace, i don’t know while some of us, 1st year in particular hung out a bit…

we like played around, slept a little (well, mostly that was just lying down and trying to sleep but we couln’t really sleep), joked around, um, what else, uh, memory gap..what’s wrong with me..haha..anyways, the main point is we had a lot of fun, we forgot about the chaos that transpired in the morning, no hard feelings and just enjoyed ourselves, looking forward to what will hapen next..so a cliche but anyways..so after all those fun stuff, was the procession of course..

every year, high school students participate in the procession, it was just our second time because we all joined in back in the 5th grade, but it was our 1st time as hs students..haha :) )…so, the procession started and we played…and like a miracle, bragging aside, it was not bad…haha…we played well actually, i don’t know, is it because we were complete(in the morning, we were lacking some people) or was it because we were in St. Jude, we felt better playing for the school or something like that but the main point is it was good, better than what happened in the morning…

After that, well, we were tired and all and everything, but it was worth it, 1st of all you’re doing a sacrifice and shouldn’t you feel good when you’re doing that????…anyways, we ate a bit after that and were off home…we had so much fun on that day, we even still talked about it the next day but what happened then will be for a different post..until then guys..

the twilight saga….

i know it has been weeks and weeks since i’ve finished the books, but it just occured to me to write something about the entire thing…if i were to rate it, i would give it a four…the books were satisfying and they really got a hold of your attention…i love watching chick flicks and reading romance novels and the fact that twilight shows the romantic side and also brings fantasy is something that got hold of my attention….the books have already “entered” my favorite book list…i love them, but the fact still remains they weren’t entirely what i would call one of the best books in literature…it could’ve been better and to tell the truth, i wasn’t really satified with the last book…i thought that 4th would like make me go whoa or something of that expression, but it didn’t really bring that..i didn’t and still don’t think that is the best way to end a series that started the way twilight did…i do hope that the next book to come, midnight sun, will satisfy the thing which i think the last book lacked even though it’s just like twilight but from another character’s point of view…

well, that’s really it for now…remember: this is just my opinion about the book…i’m not a book expert or anything, i’m just a person who loves to read and just wanted to share her opinion on such things…

test results….

the results for the periodical exams of some of the subjects have finaly come along…finally, the anxiety was killing me…here’s the thing thoguh, i don’t know if i should be happy or sad or whatever…i did fairly well with some, but with the other, i didn’t think it could get that low…huhmph….the thing is, most of the mistakes were carelessness, thinking twice and not reading the instructions properly…when can i finally fix this thing that is wrong with me..i don’t know what to do with it..when i’m just at home and studying, i feel like i know it all, but when the test comes, i feel as if i haven’t studied a single thing and it, forgive the use of the word, i can’ think of any other, sucks!!!1

oh, well, i’ll just have to “fix” myself and be reeady for whatever comes during the 3rd quarter..good luck to me…

harry potter vs twilight..sick of the comparison…

i’m am totally sick of the comparison that has arisen from these two books..it’s driving me insane..why do people just tend to compare them??they are two books of totally different genres and subject matter, there is no way they can be compared in any way..there are no similarities whatsoever…and the fact the lupin is a werewolf and jacob is also one and that there was a mention of vampires in the 6th bookof hp ( in the chpater concerning slughorn’s party) doesn’t count..

here’s the very big difference…

harry potter is a fantasy book and is a part of children’s literature..but i don’t mean that harry potter is only for children, it’s more of a book about growing up, notice how in each book, jk rowling depicts a new stage in the life of a person???try to notice that..harry potter is all about love, friendship, bravery, trust, loyalty etc..you get the picture..

twilight on the other hand is a book that mainly targets the teenage genre, specifically girls(it would be totally weird to find out a guy reads this)…it talks about love, but not the same kind of love as hp, twilight is more abut the relationship, boy-grils kinda love..you know of how the person that is meant for you is somewhere around the corner..etc..

so you see…totally different…i’ve read both of the series and i can really say that they are not alike at all, except maybe that both are dealing with things that cannot possibly happen in real life..(vampire, werewolves, wizards etc..)..

the only reason there has been a comparison was because there movies just happened premiere at the almost same time..(3 week difference) and also due to the fact that when hp was moved to july of next year, the twilight movie took over its original release date, so you can clearly see on what that can lead to…

anyways, as i have mentioned, i am sick of the comparison…i like both of them and the fact that they both contribute to the love of reading is what matters right????hopefully, it does…well, till my next post..
