I'm about thirty pages away from finishing New Moon. And I have to say that I disagree with the many, many comments I've heard about it not being as good as Twilight. If anything, I think it's even better than Twilight. (spoiler!) Sure, Edward wasn't around a lot. But Jacob was there. He was fun. He was warm. Everything Bella needed at the time. Plus, Edward came back anyway. And again, I have to say that New Moon is making me SO nauseous with all the sickeningly sweet moments. I swear, I feel the blood pumping from the veins on my wrists to those on my palms. And when that happens, believe me, I'm way beyond kilig. It's odd how I feel when I read things like this. Instead of having this huge grin plastered on my face, or getting goosebumps like normal people do, I get this funny feeling at the pit of my stomach together with this barfing sensation.
Lovesick in the most literal sense of the word, I tell you :))

After two whole weeks of staring dumbly at the white board, racking our brains for answers to unbelievably *FUNNY TESTS, and drowning our intellectual miseries by pigging out with each kind of food Katipunan can offer, we finally had the opportunity to truly have some fun.
*funny tests: our term for quizzes/exams that are so hard (and often contain questions about things you've never even heard of before), you'll find yourself laughing and thiking "WTF?!"
Redbox, Trinoma. 2-6pm. Fe's belated birthday celebration.
Mariza, Joy, Mels, Fe, Chex, Me, Nicole, Karizza, Tin :)
You won't believe how badly my throat ached after (screaming) singing about a hundred songs (including Aegis hits, may I just say :P) and drinking really, really cold Iced Tea in between :)) It probably wasn't the best thing to do, but who cares? I'll gladly take a sore throat any day, if it means having this much fun with my divas :))
Except that I just had choir practice for my cousin's wedding and I pretty much sucked with the bad throat and all.
But whatever.
At the end of the day, all those worries, insecurities, and anxieties drift so far away, they become such a minute dust speck in your seemingly crappy life--so minute that even the faintest of smiles from your best friends can easily wipe it away :)

I was never a fan of David Cook. Whenever he'd take the stage on American Idol, I'd go somewhere far from the TV and do something else, same as what I do when Carly Smithson sings. I don't know why, but I seem to dislike the common favorites. Anyway, I've always found David Cook a bit too.. cocky. Since day 1, I found his facial expressions kind of annoying, and his replies to the judges' comments have always been said so smugly. But then he sang Always Be My Baby last night. MARIAH CAREY's Always Be My Baby. And the first thing I did after American Idol was grab our own microphone and sing the same song on karaoke. Doo doo doop dum, doo doo doop doodoop da dum. We were as one, baaaabe. Seriously, it had that effect on me. I sooooo wanted to be his baby during that full minute and 30 seconds of pure bliss. HAHAHA :)) But yeah, I take back all my rash opinions about him. I'm convinced that he really, really, really does rock :D
On a completely different topic, I just wanna say that review started last Monday, and since then I've been feeling like such a dummy. Our classmates all seem to know what the teacher's blabbing about while we (joy,mels,tin,kc,nix,chex,mariza) Theresians stare at the white board, bewildered during the first hours of the morning and completely puzzled during the latter part of each session. I mean, we know zilch about Discriminants and Roots. And I didn't even know there were theorems on getting absolute values in inequalities. Anyhow, I think we'll survive. We've got the books and everything, so all we need is extra nerd power to be able to step up to those gruesome Math problems :)) Oh and Science starts tomorrow, so I'm hoping things will start to get better :) By the way, we're friends with some of our classmates already! Wala lang, sharing. :) I'm hoping that after this week of adjusting to our review schedule, I'd be able to catch up on my reading. So far, I've only finished THREE books this summer--The Lovely Bones, Twilight, and The Other Boleyn Girl. I'm still reading Flush by Carl Hiaasen. After that, I still have The Kite Runner and New Moon which are still in their plastic bags, untouched in my room. Mama and I watched The Other Boleyn Girl last Saturday, and it was good. The book's way better, but I was relieved that they didn't change the story too much. And I doubted they would anyway, on account of the fact that it's historical. It's too bad they didn't show much of William Stafford and Mary's love story though. It was soooo cute in the book.
Okay, that's all. Update you soon :D

Currently watching AI. Jason Castro=Freaking Amazing. I loved him since his top 24 performance, when he came out with his guitar, dreadlocks and all. I loved him more when he sang Jeff Buckley's version of Hallelujah (one of my favorite songs), and now he just sang some Hawaiian guy's version of Somewhere Over the Rainbow with a Ukelele! Hello, uniqueness. Hello, individuality! I love love love him. And I will ALWAYS feel annoyed when Mama would say something negative about him. I so wanna hear him sing Jason Mraz's I'm Yours. Kristy Lee Cook was next. Didn't suck, but I hate heeeer. Should've been eliminated WEEKS ago. Now I'm desperately praying that Brooke White will do great. Cause if she doesn't, she might be voted off before (GASP!) Kristy Lee!!!! Okay wait. Commercial's over.

I was rereading my previous entry and realized that I've said totally, like, a million times. Geez. I sound like a pompom-waving, hair-flipping, blonde cheerleader. You know, the ones you see in movies. Oh like, I totally loved Twilight, like yeaaaaah. Okay weird. Hehe I'm unusually cheerful today. It's not like I act glum and emo all the time. I'm just really happy cause my day was kind of productive. Papa, my siblings and I went to Greenhills today (Mama has this office teambuilding thing) and I got to buy new stuff. I've been dying to go shopping (hair flip! haha) since I cleared out my closet which, after the loooong process, was left half-empty. I don't know, feeling ko sobrang poverty ako at ang konti konti ng natirang damit ko. OA, sige na. But besides that, I also really need more clothes cause review starts soon and (hair flip again) I don't want to be an outfit repeater. Joke lang. I sound supeeeer arte, I know. Basta, ayoko lang ng sobrang paulit-ulit. Of course I'll reuse clothes there, but I don't want to do it too often. Ayoko na mag-explain, I know you get me. So anyway, ayun. We had our early dinner at Terriyaki Boy then drove all the way to Antipolo bundok to visit Mama (she's sleeping over for two nights). It wasn't too inconvenient though, cause we live along Marcos High anyway. Then when I got home, I received a text from my cousin, asking me to go swimming with them at the clubhouse. Finally! I was able to join them after they'd asked me to come so many times before. I went home after an hour, then played Scene It Friends Edition with my dad and my siblings. You won't believe how addicted we all are to Friends right now. It's funny when we scream all the answers to trivia questions at the top of our lungs :)) Super geeky.That's all for now. Nonsense post, but whatever. Ooh by the way, I've been reading Chico Garcia's blog (from 93.1's Morning Rush) and I find his pictures fascinating. Plus, his posts are real funny. Visit it if you want :)
Ay last. Have you heard? Jay-Z and Beyonce got married! Haha. I've been reading Perez Hilton (my one great source of Hollywood chismax :D) again. Forgive my being too girly and gossipy :))

The reason I wasn't too eager to get a copy of Twilight before was because of everyone's monotonously favorable reviews about it. I could not count how many times I've read Edward Cullen in people's blogs and how many times I rolled my eyes, thinking it's absolutely weird to..fall, may I say, for a freaking fictional character. Then again, I was curious, so I decided to wait till the hype was over before I read it. I mean, hello, the last thing I want is to conform with hormonal teenage girls and be part of the Edward Cullen fan club. Anyway, Criselli was kind enough to lend it to me last Wednesday, giving me Friday (today) as the deadline for book-return. I thought it was impossible, to finish a 498-page novel with such little time, since I had this party/sleepover to go to and I wouldn't be able to read it till Thursday afternoon. I didn't finish it, but she told me I could return it on June (THANK YOU!). Anywaaaaay, I finished it today and I'm glad to say that I still haven't transformed into a giddy teenager, all charmed and beguiled by Edward Cullen. I do not plan on buying New Moon because I found Twilight absolutely ordinary and not worth getting a sequel for.
No, I'm totally kidding. Truth is, I loved it, as much as I hate to admit that fact. The plot was actually good, and totally different from all the Meg Cabot stuff I used to read (btw, I'm so getting over the Meg Cabot phase. I'm starting to realize that all her books have the same storyline and it's getting pretty boring for me. I won't completely stop reading her work though. It's kind of my guilty pleasure, to read something light, when I'm tired of reading complicated stuff). I wouldn't say it was as beautifully written as Stardust or The Lovely Bones, but Stephenie Meyer sure compensated for all that by creating a character like Edward Cullen who was enough to make Twilight every girl's favorite book (except me. haha. still dont want to conform okay?).I do think I haven't gone completely head over heels for Edward. Sure, I felt this weird thing in my stomach and palms while I was reading some of his lines in the book, but he just seems too much like an impossibility--someone that'd never exist in the real world. Well, duh, he doesn't exist. But you know. I'm just not too keen on getting my hopes up to meet someone like him. Haha. And another thing, I'm not sure I like how Meyer portrayed Bella as the damsel in distress and as someone who'd be willing to give her life up for her boyfriend (I know it is Edward, but he's still JUST a boyfriend)--I'd like to think women, even fictional ones, should be completely independent from men. Overall, Twilight was a good book. And okay, I do plan on buying New Moon :)
On a totally different topic, I'm feeling real sad about everything that's been happening lately. Recog was such a disaster. This whole day was a disaster. Wednesday night and Thursday morning were no good either. The only highlight of this week was that I got to spend time with Joy and Nicole, and that I was able to commute with Ate Ling from Marikina to home (one FX, one jeep). Other than that, I totally hate everything right now. It's in times like these when I start wishing that I'd be a vampire. So I could, like, think of meat and blood instead of everything else. I'm kidding.
P.S. Theresian Mag's out! Spread the love. Make love, not war. Peace be with you. Save the earth. Support our school paper!
Mariza, Joy, Mels, Fe, Chex, Me, Nicole, Karizza, Tin :)
