Yey! I just finished my finals yesterday! I was so happy to have the weight of 60 questions and other such things off my shoulders that I agreed to go on an instant gimmick 'far far away' in Marikina. ^^; I was really ecstatic about finishing my summer classes. Sure I made friends, and sure, the reading was a bit lighter than I expected, but it still feels great to say good-bye to ANY subject that once in a while gives you hell. XD

If you're wondering what the 60 questions meant, it was our Finals. Our teacher handed us a list of questions and we were supposed to research each and everyone very thoroughly. Come finals day, we'd then pick a number out of a can and answer JUST ONE of the questions, which will spell the ultimate fate of our grade. @_@ Talk about information overload!!! We had to memorize a lot of things (ex. the towns we passed in our field-trip from Cavite to Tagaytay: Sto. Tomas, Tanauan, Malvar, Lipa, San Jose, Cuenca, Alitagtag, Sta. Teresita, Moson, Taal, Calaca, Nasugbu). That was a little like hell and a great relief to get out of the way. ^^;

Although I don't think I did great in the exam, come to think about it, but at least I just did ok. I think. From the expression on my teacher's face, I'm not too sure if he was impressed, and then I was so nervous, I kept breaking into a tagalog-english-tagalog speech. X_x How horrible!

But anyway, I was just so glad to have finished. I didn't pick that bad a question too, actually. So while I was in a skipping and jumping mood after my finals, I went to Katipunan

to buy myself cds, only to find out that the store is no longer open. O_o Amagad. Oh well. I've been living off Bianca's cds for the longest time, I no longer know how much cds cost and how much money I owe her. ^^; Anyway, then I met up with my mom and got to meet the little Yorkshire terrier pups of my cousins. ^^; They were so cute! One of them was so fat, she couldn't walk properly and was simply crawling about with her legs making a split. ^^

Anyway, I forgot to mention that my friends and I were treated out by the always generous Sig. <(^_^)> She even let us use her nice 2MP phone to take pics afterward. See the pics *here* and *here*.

*Note: My younger sister Bern looked up my multiply, and when she saw that I had 5 albums already, she looked at me and said: "I'm proud of you." ^^; Well, thank you, thank you. XD

Then Tracy and Vigile and I went to watch Shrek 3. We didn't take pics, now that I think about it. Argh. I always forget. ~_~ Anyway, we enjoyed a little videoke at Big R before the movie, and all praise and cheers for our very own Konata. ^^ Tracy sang Josh Groban's The Prayer, and did it flawlessly and amazingly, despite the fact that I was her incompetent duet partner. I swear, with my uncertain and barely-there-yet-still-managing-somehow -to-end-with-a-slight-question-mark kind of voice, alternating with her powerful and well felt voice, we were a very funny duet. Somewhere in the middle she even had to sing both our parts, and towards the end, Vigile finally took the microphone away from me. Despite the fact that she claims she didn't know the song, she prolly felt she would do better, which is probably true anyway. ^^;

Shrek was... funny. Very very funny. But the story was not that good. The plot was too rushed. I felt my favorite characters weren't given much air time, plus they cracked a lot of pretty corny jokes (like the mocking hair extensions line. -_-) My conclusion is that they dwelt too much on certain scenes that were supposed to be funny, forgetting to dwell on scenes which would have helped improve the flow of the story. tsk tsk.

Nevertheless, there were still a lot of funny parts. Watch out for these:
-that's what friends are for
-hair flipping
-merlin and piano
-life flashes
I don't remember all the funny parts, but here are a few. I still enjoyed watching it though. And I really like Puss and Donkey. XD Especially Puss. ^^

Oh, one last thing, although I feel like gagging myself at what I'm about to say.. I was reading the English version of Noli in preparation for my exams, and I realized what a nice book it was. ^^ Maybe cause there weren't any complicated tagalog words anymore, or the pressure to finish the long chapters, or maybe cause I just chose the chapters I had to read, but I strangely found it nice. It also could be the fact that I was finally reading a novel amidst a lot of biographies and historical accounts, etc. (Actually, Bern has long been telling me that it's nicer than I give it credit for, but then again, her choice of books has always been much deeper and complicated than mine. And Vigile also kept telling me in 3rd yr how nice Fili was in English. ^^;)

I don't remember what else I have to blog about, so that's it. :D

come fly ~ gen

yeah, shrek was definitely funny, but the story suffered.

"i'm *prooooooooooot*-ant!"

i really didn't mind the mic thing. ^^; I was sincere when I meant that you could probably have sung better than me. XD
