All of us were from class IV-A, each guy the representative for a different contest. My contest was the english oratorical contest, and last thursday it took place in Ateneo. Of course I took the time to prepare my speech and practice for this. Memorizing and orating a 5-7 minute speech isn't easy. Well, after the first half of school that day, I dressed up, and left La Salle for the fun. There were 14 contestants altogether, our particular schools not mentioned during the contest for the sake of eliminating any biased decisions, I'd guess. Some of them were...okay. But the others were good. I had some tough competition. Our order of presenting our speeches was random, done via drawing of lots. I was 5th. When my turn came, I strutted up to the stage confidently, and started my speech strong. Halfway through my sp... http://ceeedric.multiply.com/journal/item/23/Now_a_moment_of_panicamusement Sun, 5 Oct 2008 13:39:22 -0000 4A&4B's DLSU Campus Tour - September 29, 2008 A bit late. What the hell. Last monday, the two senior Honors' sections got a field-trip tour of the De La Salle University-Manila's campus. The first, and, in all likelihood, last, priveledge we've ever really gotten. Oh well. Haha. 'Twas fun. Day started in school, we boarded the bus at about 8-something, got there at about 9-something, then sat down for a while to...err...get our bearings. Then were split up into several touring group - Ms Mary-Arr and Ms Yky were both in our group XD. And, interestingly enough, our tour guide Jessa was once a member of Cue - she was in Aida! Haha. Once we were all split up, we went off for the happy happy joy joy. The campus was cool. Yeah, not all of it were as nifty as they might initially make it out to be, but the gardens were nice, the walkways quaint, the people generally friendly. Its not as wide as, say, ADMU or UP, but that's cause a lot of the classes are in these buildings that go waaay up. So we spent as much time going up and dow... http://ceeedric.multiply.com/photos/album/20/4A4Bs_DLSU_Campus_Tour_-_September_29_2008 Fri, 3 Oct 2008 13:16:54 -0000 It's a funny story, acually... I found my watch. Oh, how dear life just LOVES to make fun of us. Haha. Couple of nights ago I blogged about how my watch disappeared and how i was oh-so-pathetic that day in school without it. About forty seconds had passed after i had posted said blog when my eldest sister ate Chiquit passed by and caught a glimpse of the computer screen. [flashback] Her: Oooooooooh. *oggling at mine wonderful coffee layout* Me: Yeah. Coffee. Her: *gawking* Me: Hmm. Here, read my blog while i do my math homework. ..20 seconds later.. Her: You lost a watch...? Me: Yeah, it sucks. Her: Hmmm. Wait a sec. *walks off to room* Me: *stalks her to her room. spots my watch on her desk.* WTF!? YOU had it? Her: *shrug* Me: how the hell!? Her: I dunno, it just looked pretty, so I took it. [/flashback] Eh. Well. Yeah. Anyways, last night, my mom gave me a new watch for 'saturday wear', she called it. Such timing.

Wed, 24 Sep 2008 10:57:34 -0000 Well, this kinda sucks. So. I had this wristwatch that I pretty much adored. It was a Raymond Weil with a nifty black leather strap and a shiny round face and roman numerals. Gotta love them roman numerals. It was a gift. And I believe it came from Switzerland or something. In a box, too. I loved that watch. I used to compare it with Delfin's. Mine was prettier. A few days ago, I lost that watch. Which truly, really, absolutely SUCKS. I just turned to my bedside table one day (my watch owned that bedside table) and it wasn't there where it always sat. Haaaai. I've been looking for it around the house. I haven't been lucky. Today I went to school without it. And dear gahd, I was so absolutely pathetic. I didn't know what time I came to school. I couldn't tell whether to do my accounting-office-UA&P-application shiz first or my physics-long-test shiz first, because I couldn't get any reference to the time. I was troubled with my time allocation for the problems in that said physics long test. Nor could I proper... http://ceeedric.multiply.com/journal/item/21/Well_this_kinda_sucks.

A friday with fairly fine weather. So. Day starts with school. Music presentation #4 (original compositions) and we end up with a 93. Boooooo. Everyone seems to be complaining about the results of this one. Anyways, we school wrapped up 12:30, an early dismissal cause of gawad parangal. and maybe because the teachers were expecting us to go home and study for the exams coming next week... except Luis and I didn't. We hopped over to SM and met up with Vie and Maia for the Arts festival. Had lunch in Pizza Hut first, ordering the same thing for everybody. Vida hogged the menus XD. Then when we were upstairs we got approached by some people from TV-5 and asking us to say something in front of the camera. Something about shaking the TV. Maia chickened out (dangit Maeeeeeeya XD) but the rest of us...err...consented...anyway. We're gonna be on tv, haha.

Sun, 10 Aug 2008 14:08:09 -0000 Daughtry Live at Eastwood - July 29, 2008 Now, the eve of this particular Tuesday, there were some issues about me attending this concert. I was sick, I had three long tests to study for, and I had a filipino presentation the next day. My reaction was simple: Who CARES if I was sick, had three long tests to study for, and had a filipino presentation the next day!? This was Chris Daughtry. I've been a fan a while. That, and I already had the tickets. I went with my cousin and sister all hyped up and bla, and it took us awhile to find our seats (a funny story which involved us winding up in the VIP area, right in front of the stage, the poor ushers were clueless about our seats), and the concert started about an hour late. But then the concert started. And everybody was screaming, and I was like trying to scream too, but doing so ended up killing me. The hell, I screamed anyway. Chris and his band rocked, of course. Performance level was high, the lighting was brilliant, and there was audience interaction.

We don’t have a clue what’s really going down, we just kid ourselves that we’re in control of our lives while a paper’s thickness away things that would drive us mad if we thought about them for too long play with us, and move us around from room to room, and put us away at night when they’re tired, or bored." Once again, I find that the Sandman comics of Neil Gaiman do things to my head. They make me think. They make me wonder. They give me insights, some of which I am pleased to get, and others I am not. The stories told in the volume are nothing short of interesting. Serial killers’ conventions and kingdoms of dreams thrown in together make one heckuva work of art. I’m not too fond of the styles of art, but the colors and atmospheres do help the whole thing come alive. And when it does, it’s fantastic. This volume is the work of a genius. I’ll say that much. A world of its own, that’s what it is.

Today. Now.   Whatever. Call it a mood swing, call it a question of sanity, call it mashed potato, because it might as well be any and all of those. And life will go on.

Katatapos ng review classes (thank you, KP4a-08!), and pressure's on with the college bla, and the courses bla, and school's starting soon, and I've yet to wrap my books, procrastinator that I am. So, what's new? I've recently gotten into some new things, as 60G Playstation3's just seem to be extinct round here and I can't get a hold of one and see what the big deal is. I have gotten serious about reading Neil Gaiman's Sandman graphic novels. Death has the body of a model, the clothes of a poet, and the smile of your best friend. And she rocks. Everything has to come to an end, eh? And when it does, you meet her. And she takes your hand. And off you go. It really isn't all that bad. As for the rest of her family, just like life/death, you can hate or love them. But that won't matter. Because they'l still be there. As long as people live, die, dream, desire, despair, destroy, or delight, they'll hang around.

In the middle of the summer? Summer, when it is supposed to be sunny? Sunny, and not rainy, like it is right now? Freakin' global warming. And why is it that Daughtry's concert has to be on a Tuesday night? Freakin' schoolnights. Well, anywhy, vacation's ending soon. Dangit. As of now, I am wondering what to do with the rest of my life.

The biggest contrast was in genre - AEON Book 1 is a fantasy fiction novel, very videogamish; CROSS is set in the modern world and time. I think my writing style and voice didn't change much with handling each of them, but even in the same light, novels of different genres will be different.</h1> Still, I don't think either is worse than the other, but that is ultimately up to who's reading.

Anyways, the plane ride wasn't so bad, we watched Enchanted and spent a few minutes pitying James Marsden before landing. Checked in at the Belvedere. We were back in New York! Ah, good to be home. ^__^ Night afterwards, we watched WICKED at the Gershwin. Incredible show, Stephanie J Block and Annaleigh Ashford as Elphie and Glinda. Yeah. Gottaloveit. Gottalovebroadway. Couple of days were spent hanging around and doing different stuff. Went to the Museum of Modern art (i still don't get much of the blue thing, laboh talaga O_o), and the UN place, and the wax museum with all the celebrities and bla. Tuesday, ate chiq and i got to watch PHANTOM OF THE OPERA. That's THE Broadway show to watch. 20 effin' years. The show was incredible (duh) except Phantom was really emo, and it was weird when he started talking about fighting AIDS and buying cookbooks after the show. Uh...yeah.

I will capitalize highlights, which means the shows. The plane ride was psychologically disturbing for multiple reasons. I got to watch Beowulf on the plane, but for the rest of the 1 hours stuck there, not much else. Dropped by in Vancouver to pick up my sister's boyfriend, then we headed down to Las Vegas. Checked in at Planet Hollywood. Drove five hours to Grand Canyon the next day, and it so freaking cold there. Couldn't feel my hands. Or face. Really, it was really really cold. Like, very cold. Anyways, the big hole on the ground was a pretty sight. Drove back to las Vegas (five more hours in the car, oh joy) and passed by Hoover Dam the very next day. That night four of us watched the shows STOMP OUT LOUD, a really nifty percussion show. It was good fun - turns out slamming garbage cans together can be amusing for an hour and a half. The sounds and rhythm were unbelievably addicting. Days that followed were spent hopping from hotel to hotel.
