We played paintball today. So cool... the terrain was really warlike and our teams placed 3rd, 4th and 5th place out of 10. Pretty good since the 1st placer was a Paintball team and the 2nd placer was rather experienced... We were novices compared to them. Most of the people in our team have never even actually held paintball guns.(Like me. -_-) We were hoping for best of the best, but landed best of the beginners. Pretty good. ^_^ And it was so nice to watch my friends move around like action stars and actually participating was even better. :D I admit that I wasn't really good, I ended up getting killed for most of our battles (3 out of 4) but one was a give-away cause we had to fight one of our friends teams, and at least I killed a lot of people... *sadistic mode* >:)
Here are some pictures of the site...
We should do it sometime... too bad its expensive. :(
Luckily for the Kuripot me, my team paid for some extra bullets and about half of the admission fee... but i still starved that day. When I finally met vigile for an arnis tournament (which i was 4 hours late for-- sorry vig!) I had been starving for hours already. I didn't have enough money to buy lunch you see... (I just realized that I didn't get a raise in my allowance and that its hard to endure college life with my high school allowance.) And that college life is expensive.

Today, i attended my first training day as a member of 'tut'. I didn't do too well today. *sad* Anyway, after that i had monay and buko juice for lunch (does this tell you how bankrupt i am?) and then I (finally!!!) got my official UP ID! Woohhhoo!!! I then had to have my Official ID validated, and there, because CBA people are so responsible, I was asked to turn in my temporary ID. *gasp* Which I just so happened to have lost about a week ago. >_<>:( Labo... Anyway, I met up with Vigile cause she had a very inconveniently timed make-up class and we sat in the sunken garden where 2 annoying street kids and a bee decided to bug us. And I mean REALLY bug us. The kids sat less than a foot away watching our every move, asking us for a drink of our only beverage (being the poor people that we are) and the bee persistently tried to enter our bag of moby... and we had to try to wrestle it from a very sensitive bee... it eventually won our bag. @_@ Imagine, the two of us alternating our hold of the bag to keep it away from it, and still it triumphed. (This will tell you how persistent it was).
Anyway, I realized the reason why i easily miss you guys in the kada or the cousins is that i have so much fun with you and I don't have the same fun with people in school. Also I'm most comfortable with you and I think you guys can understand and tolerate me a lot more than other people ever could. ^_^ Those reasons and a lot more that I can't think of right now, but I'm sure there are more, are the reasons why I easily miss people, especially you guys! (I thought of another, but i forgot it eh...) ^_^ *huggles* (shouts: Cara, Katrina, Angel, Justinne! Come back home and visit!) (shouts again:KAda, kada lang tayo kasi we don't party in bars and we don't ever drink! *corny*) But understand me, I hate the smell of even Cali... ^_^
Well, that's it I guess... ^_^ ...moving on...
Other Realizations for the day:0. I know Vigile is rolling her eyes because I put this number here, but oh well... I'm just wierd that way, and i felt like adding this number. Anyway, I realize that I get too sentimental sometimes... like... now?1. mY favorite place in UP is the Sunken Garden when there are not much people... *loner anti-social person that i am, tsk, tsk...*2. I would have loved the Main Library, save for the fact that I have to surrender my bag before entering it... sad... But i like the table and chairs there. Somehow, I feel like studying there. Sort of. Imagine. But only in the Social Science section... not the Filipiniana or the other areas. Sorry. ^_^3. I like Vanguard too... for the wind and the view. Except if there are lots of people in the third floor. I admit I'm mean and a recluse. Fine... :)4. I've been too much of a glutton lately... I've run out of money! >_<5. Umm... I haven't been walking lately, and i think my health is paying for it. ^_^;6. I realized after watching a certain commercial that the Amazing Race is gonna pass through the Philippines. But I cant watch it cause I have to attend a block party. -_-7. I'm gonna join the Blitzkreig (the JMA paintball tournament) on saturday! *u* JMA is my college's home org (one of them, at least) and I intend to join this org next sem cause i feel that it can't be as bad as 'tut'. Anyway, I'll be joining at a discounted price too. WoooHhoo!!! You guys know I'm kuripot, and if you don't it will get obvious in time. ^_^;8. Mellow is inviting people to watch her band (?) perform in a Variety show in McDo on Friday. Bernice and other 3rd year Miriam HS students are also inviting people to a variety show on the same night in Katipunan (different venue though) too... -_- Why on the same night? And I have a 'tut' meeting on that night... so it seems I can't attend anything. T_T And I really wanted to attend at least one. Bern said she might perform and Mellow will indeed perform... *sigh* must find a way!9. The guy in OC isn't shorter than his leading lady afterall. @_@ It just seemed that way cause she's so tall and thin and he's so short and... well... beefy? They're about the same height, apparently. -_-;10. The mustache I seem to have in my ID was caused by the lighting in the picture taking area... grr...11. I wanna continue the Phoenix Pendant, but i don't have the time or energy. TnT
I've been trying for 2 hours now to connect, but guess what? My internet card's user name and/or password is invalid. Why? Because I've been typing the wrong password all night... STUPID GENINA! >.< *smacks self* And this kind of circumstance always happens to me... *sweatdrop* And my entry was not originally as long, but since i took forever to log in, well, you can see how frustrated i was. ^_^;
Anyway, enough updates, I'm pretty tired and just wanted to update. It's cause I reflected that I used to put almost everything that would happen to me on my blog... and i used to blog almost everyday too. Now I don't. I guess I just miss blogging. ^_^

Damn, ran out of internet card... I'm currently using a 1-hour internet demo card... so sad. T_T
ANYWAY!
Had a small reunion-ish gimmick with Tracy, Kimmy and Vigile. It was a shame Stacy and Sig and Selda couldn't come. We would have had such a fun time. u_u Anyway, we watched Princess Diaries, imagine, 2 movies in a week! We watched the Notebook the other day. ^_^ Anyway, aside from watching the movie, we had our picture taken in a studio (It was cheaper than usual too! :D ) and we sang karaoke. The song vigile sang kept playing on and on in my head for some time... ^_^; We also bumped into Jodee de Guzman. She said we were lucky that we high school friends still manage to get together. I think we're lucky in that respect too, although I do wish we could see each other more... u_u Then we commuted all the way to Vigile's house, this time with Stacy, to attend Celeni's pink party. :) The food was good and we literally sang the night away. :)
Anyway, I'm supposed to visit the UP site to sign up for ACLE, an Alternative Classroom Learning Experience. Its a really cool idea that allows us to have NO classes for the rest of the school day, at the same time giving us a chance (if we want ^_^) to learn something new or watch a movie or something... for free! *u* Some of the options I've heard of are: An Analysis of the Da Vinci Code in contrast to the Holy Scriptures, Learn to speak Elvish, Learn Japanese, Learn Korean, Watch a Japanese Movie: Dreams, Watch Imelda (very controversial movie), etc. But since I haven't checked it out yet, thats all I know. ^_^
And stacy has Yahoo Messenger already! Yahoo!!! :D
Anyway, I'm surprised to find how easily i grow to miss people.... *reflective mode*

i'm currently playing/ experimenting on Yahoo messenger... for a nice avatar! :) I saw Stacy today and hopefully I'll see her again tomorrow, Tracy, Kimmy and Sig too... :) Miss you guys so much! :)

Well, anyway here i am putting of some school work cause i love you guys so much (and i hate schoolwork as much ^-^")
Guys! I'm very very happy to say that HELL week and day is OVER!!!! WHoooooHOoooo!!!! Thanks to all of you, you really helped me get through it, A LOT. :) I expected to cry the entire hell day, but since you all encouraged me before the actual day, I wasn't in such a bad shape. :) THANK YOU!!!!!! *huggles and squeezes and jumps around with people huggled in arms* THANK YOU!! I was actually surprised that even Tracy called me up the night before, and stacy, kimmy and vigile were texting me on the day itself. It really made me feel so much better, I'm glad i have such good friends. :) You're probably wondering why i was so affected, and now i know the answer myself, thanks to my curious and persistent mind, i had the guts to ask a lot of WHYs and HOWs... Afterall, you all know that I'm not the crying type. (At least i think you do.) I keep my problems inside, i never share, I never cry... which is why I probably gave S and V a big shock when i started crying in front of them... Chubby too... *embarassed*
anyway, apparently psychological strength and physical strength were tested in this... er... test. it was a big part of the entire plan to stress us in those ways, just to see which ones were capable enough. There is good reason for this though... but since I'm not allowed to reveal much of this information, I'll just have to assure you that it did make sense when they finally explained it. (i think i accidentally revealed to someone why... maybe V or S or T... not sure though...) Anyway, it is also apparently the hardest thing to get into, worse than a sorority and fraternity. apparently. If i had known earlier, i would probably not have gotten into it. -_- Anyway, somewhat towards the end, they apparently thought I was already on the verge of breaking down, so they weren't that mean... i think. Especially since they spent a lot of time torturing me already. Anyway, I stuck on cause sometime during hell week, someone on "mean mode" was asking me: "Ano, kaya mo pa ba? Mag-quit ka na!" Then somebody beside her said: "You don't have to prove anything to anybody, just prove it to yourself." (Mag-buddy pa ata sila...) And before that, one of my co-apps said: "Kung di tayo magiging member, di na tayo lahat magkikita..." which was sad, cause my friends there are what Stacy's Ateneo Blockmates are to her, my first set of really good friends in college, minus High School. Besides, SAYANG sums it up. Money, time, effort, dignity, strength, you name it... And being the kuripot person that I am, after losing that much, there is no turning back. (I also know that its the perfect word for it cause i saw the regret of those people who turned away earlier... like Leo... and V and Bong agree with me on this.)
So anyway, here is a summary of updates:
UPDATES: (^_^)
>I am now officially a member of the UPRPT. I have a t-shirt, keychain and the right to the official handshake (most fulfilling...) I am now also Genina '04. :)
>I can now eat in KFC Katipunan for lunch. :)
>My camera phone is busted... T_T
>I'm a masochistic person who loves cats cause they scratch and head butt me like true martial artists... winks at 2 certain people... (did i spell masochistic right?)
>I think I flunked another exam, but then again, I'm not the only one... it was hard! I had to memorize so many freakin' Trigonometric formulas!
>And i didn't flunk the English exam like i thought i would, in fact, i apparently got one of the highest scores cause my teacher is a sadist and i remembered Sir Fermin's lesson... I was one of the only ones (in fact, possibly the only one) to alphabetize the bibliography entries in the test. Everyone didn't think it was needed cause it was numbered 1-15. I took a lucky guess, and I alphabetized my test cause the instructions said: "Write the following in proper bibliographical form). And my teacher, apparently a sadist, after seeing that everyone did not alphabetize, suddenly decided that the penalty would not be minus 1 per number, but just flat ZERO (0)! @_@ Is that mean or what?
>I passed but got low in my math midterm... *sigh*
>I don't say "GASP" anymore, I just gasp. :) Hehehe...
>Since I didn't have money, when S, V and I went on a gimmick yesterday, Sig bought me a Castrode Designs notebook (thank you sig! I'll find a way to pay you back without you knowing! :D) and Vigile bought me a black bear named Andy, c/o the chocolate snack Yan-yan(?). :D Anyway, we watched The Notebook yesterday, and as we geeks would so like to put it, it was an Ultraviolet Catastrophe... Sig exclaimed that it should have been called A Notebook instead, cause the story couldn't have been further from the original, she said it was worse than Harry Potter and LOTR combined... woah! That's a lot for sig! Anyway, i have to agree... the book was better. :) (Note to Tracy: We didn't watch Princess Diaries II for you cause we'll watch it on Saturday, right? :) Unfortunately, Sig and Stacy might not be able to make it, and my piano teacher is hunting me down... but I'm looking forward to showing you my fading "battle scars". :D)
>I have my Kattun CD again.
>I have Yahoo! messenger na! Yosh! After months of trying... TuT
>My umbrella is destroyed and its been raining like mad lately.
>Not that the last one was important. :) I just felt like mentioning it... good thing it didn't rain on hell day. :)
>I have... muscles in my arms...?
>My finger that was struck in arnis class was worse of than my battle scars though... hehe... ^-^ No pressure vigile, just stating a fact. And since I'm a masochist *cough* I didn't really mind the injury. ^_^
>I feel better now, thanks to everybody. :)
