Blueprints on Worksheets

As people I know...err... know, I've been getting good results with my studies lately. Well, honestly, this is not as fulfilling as it would have been years or months ago. Still, it feels good to know I'm not a total academe failure. My first weeks at my new(4Th) school were a breeze since I was still adjusting to the new environment and I was lax. But I was too lax that I was getting average results on my quizzes. Then the wake up call came and the results thereafter were unexpected. Currently, I'm achieving grades my fresh-grad-from-high-school self would only dream of. While listening to my boring instructor; looking outside the classroom window; wondering what I would do after class. I have my failed 5-year-attempt-for-a-college-degree to thank for, and practically, all the people I met during those years. Right now, I'm looking at a piece of paper with the words "test" "I.Q." and something blurred and torn with the letters "S" and ...

Yesterday, our parents celebrated their 25th Wedding Anniversary. As a pre-celebration, we decided to have dinner the previous Sunday at one of the most famous restaurants in Angeles. C' Italian Dining is an Italian restaurant situated along Clark's perimeter road somewhere in between the red district and Korea town. Prices of the food were a bit steep for a normal dinner but for special occasions, it was fine spending a bit more. And every centavo was well worth it. For starters, we had a Kristina Panizza. This is their best seller and their specialty so we had it before the appetizer. Hungry that we were, it really didn't matter which came first      So, basically, it is a thin crust rectangular pizza without the tomato sauce. It's crispy on the edge and a bit soft in the middle and comes comes with arugula leaves. Before eating it, take a slice, put some leaves on and roll it like this . Next was risotto.  It's similar to lugaw only, it has a thicker consi...

And when the night is set to end  close your eyes and you will see  that bright spot glowing in the darkness still  as you are rushing into a bright dawn  hoping tomorrow would come out  with something different  chasing you from this monotonous darkness and still  it will ever grow bright  like it were tonight

In a few days I'd be a month old at my new school and so far, I'm pissed, though not only at some of my classmates but also at myself. This Monday, we had our first quiz in Geometry. All was expected to go well because the quiz was simply about plotting points and computing for coordinates. Then again, underestimating aside, 5 minutes before the time and I still haven't finished answering, or solving. Actually, I had answers, but no solution to prove one of them. Just one! And my day can't get any better seeing my classmates cheating even after being told by the instructor not to. One even took pictures of his seatmate's paper. A while ago, the results from last week's quiz in our technical writing class were released. Guess what, I got a disappointing 31 out of 40! Apparently, I misheard one of the instructions and instead of a 12, I got a 5. It's really frustrating since I'v been trying, if not struggling, to be proficient in English even just in wri...

For the lack of a better thing to say, just shut it, please! It's just been a few days since the start of school and one of my classmate has started pissing me off already. Why do people have the need to affirm every single statement the teacher makes? Why? Why?! And why do people try to anticipate and mouth whatever the teacher says? It's irritating! Stop kissing ass for god's sake! I'm here to listen and learn from the lecture, not from your "yes ma'am, I agree, yes ma'am" We're not preschoolers anymore gademit!

It's the first time in years that I receive a birthday present from a friend. Usually, it would be my relatives who'd hand me out an envelope, a box, or a paper bag of something I could have liked. By all means, I'm flattered. If there was maybe one thing that could make my day, or my week, or my month, or my year, it would be unexpectedly getting something from someone. I'm really not used to people doing me this or that without anything in return or without me asking for it, except from my parents, because for all I know, I haven't been the nicest person to most people. And now, I get this weird high even after a few days and an unfortunate event. I'm very happy! Thanks for the gift! It really made my day feel extra special. :)

How many more Schools do I have to get into before I could say you are the one?
