@ 2:44 PM
Okay, a quick re-cap of what happened so far, since my last update.
AUGUST 1: GA OF BES STUDENTS
Sa wakas, GA narin namin. Haaaayyy. It got postponed once because of the typhoon. Kaya un. Hehehehehehe:) The GA was supposed to start at 1pm but our class was supposed to end at 1pm din. So Ma'am Peppin dismissed us mga 12:30; me, Janel and Iris had a hasty lunch sa Dimsum and Dumplings sa carpark then we went in search of the Albertus Magnus Auditorium. Naligaw kami!!! Well, we didn't really get lost, just got confused sa directions. Hehehehehe! When we finally got to the building where the said auditorium was (sa Educ. building), we climbed all the way up to the 4th floor. *whew!* Napagod kami nun! We went inside the auditorium just in time to see the Salinggawi Dance Troupe performing an opening dance number. Go Gari!!!:) We took our seats and watched the slideshows; played games, waited for our numbers to be called during the raffle [(I got called; I got a free San Mig hat..o db???:)] watched the inter-batch dance competition, and of course, the highlight of the show, the search for Mr. and Ms. BES! Si Hazel at Nix yung pinili namin para irepresent yung class namin. Syempre, they looked really good!:) Si Nix nga pinakagwapo sa mga guys eh! Hehehehehehe!:) They both lost, but they still looked great:)
The biggest surprise came was when they announced the winners for the writing contest (as kuya Janno and kuya Enzo later said, "the FIRST EVER writing contest in our course"). They first gave the certificate of participation to the contestants. When all them were given, I began wondering why I didn't get one. So I thought that maybe I did something wrong with the format so they discarded my entry. But I quickly thought back to what I wrote and I realized that I followed everything that kuya Janno told me to do. So I just shrugged my shoulders and began talking to Janel. Waki, who was sitting behind me, kept on whispering, "Ikaw na yan!!" and I just rolled my eyes and laughed.
Then, kuya Enzo said on the microphone, "The winner, of our very first writing contest, comes from the freshmen"
Then my classmates erupted into cheers and were screaming my name. I remember thinking, "Am I the only freshman who joined in the contest?!"
Kuya Enzo continued, "She's a girl. And she goes by the name of Luisa Oviedo!"
Now there was no mistaking it; my classmates were screaming theirselves hoarse. But I just sat there, staring open-mouthed at kuya Enzo. Then he motioned for me to come up the stage. As I walked to the stage, my legs felt heavy as if they were made of lead. I was in total shock! I really couldn't believe it! I went backstage to compose myself, and as I walked onto the stage, they handed me a small trophy (looks like the trophy that the DS Havens won nung December; yung glass, ganun din yung shape, pero mas maliit pa), asked about the essay I wrote, took pictures (I swear I was seeing circles) and I went back to my seat. My hands were shaking so badly! I immediately texted Romeo (I was texting him before I got called), then I texted my dad. Later, they gave out the last prize for the raffle; a free guitar! And guess what? Iris got it! She was sitting beside me, then when they called out the numbers, she suddenly stood up and walked to the stage. Me and Janel were like, "What?!!?!?!". Swerte namin! Congrats Iris!:) Finally, the program ended. Natapos na ata mga past 5. But we had fun:)
My dad couldn't stop texting me and congratulating me. He even texted his brothers and sisters in Antipolo, Fairview, Davao and in the US. They kept on saying, "Mana ba sa daddy? O sa ninang/tita/pinsan/ninong/tito?" Hahahahaha!!!! :)
AUGUST 2: WALA LANG
Ano nga ba ginawa namin kahapon? Hmmmm. Discussion sa Philosophy. Discussion sa History. Recitation sa Literature. Completion of workbook sa English.
Practice sa Pax Romana ng 1-3 and P.E. from 3-5. Di kami masyadong nakapagpractice kasi konti lang nakaatend. Pero masaya parin kahit papaano. NOTE TO SELF: Bring a jacket the next time we have a practice. It's so frickin' cold!!!!!!! We did some warm-up exercises sa P.E. Nagmukha kami mga may ROTC tuloy. Hehehehehehe! :)
Damn. I was so tired when I got back to the dorm. I just wanted to crawl in my bed and sleep the night away. But then I remembered that we had a quiz sa Econimics and exam sa Theology.
Haaaaaaayyyyy................ :(
AUGUST 3: AAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHH!!!!!!!
Wala kaming BES, so I went to school na mga past 7. No need to wake up if the teacher isn't present. Hehehehehe!:) When I told Romeo about this, he said that I was bad; but I just told him na that's how it really is. Hehehehehe!:)
Exam sa Theology. Okay lang. Essay. Good. 3 questions. Pick 2. Then answer.
Quiz sa Economics. DISASTER!!!! Mali ginawa ko! And judging by my classmates' dumbstruck faces, I knew that I wasn't the only one. Grabe!!! I wanted to cry talaga! A few of my classmates were already teary-eyed while the professor was explaining the mistakes we did. Then she said. "If you think that you cannot handle the Pre-lims, then I suggest you withdraw from the Pre-lims then take your exams sa summer". All of us were like, "See you in summer, dude". There's no way in hell that I'm gonna drop. I'm just gonna have to work harder. Ayaw ko magsummer! Kahit maka75 ako at least I still passed!
Haaaaaayyyyyy. Okay, I'm gonna research na para sa Literature. And I've got a really, really, really, really, long quiz sa History tomorrow. 5 pages long. Whoa.
By the way, I've finally chosen a song for my academic paper sa Literature. I wanted to put it here pero ayaw mag"copy-paste" from YouTube. And when I typed the codes naman, cannot be accepted kasi walang closing tag yung tinype ko. Eh galing naman yun sa YouTube ha. Hmmmm...
So, sa mga marunong maglagay ng videos from YouTube sa blog, please help me out! Much appreciated!:)
*sigh* Welcome to College Life.
