Loathing and Penchant Reality

Jessa's Birthday

A day after Christmas, and it's Jessa's birthday! After being friends with her for almost four years, we were finally invited and allowed by our parents to go to her house to party. We had fun but not as much fun as we would probably had if we were complete. Kim, Ayra, Angela, Paolo, Hazel (also her birthday), and some other members of TTT and B.A.Y.A.G. Co., were not around. After the get-together, EJ gave out free Baler tickets so we went to SM and watched the last full show. People present: Kevin, Ryan, EJ, Eugene, Kevin, Phantasm, Maan, Jessa, Jenn, Hannah People not around: many

Dark Sanctuary

We had our first youth meeting in our clan without any adults. We had discussed about our summer camp that will take place in summer (duh..) at Hala-Hala. Yay! ...after discussing the important stuff, we ended up drinking but not drunk.

haha!!!

After the drinking part, some of us went to the mall. We attended the toy convention.. of course, there were cosplayers (love them!) but I forgot to bring my camera. Good thing my cousin, Cynthia, brought hers and Migz also. I had fun

Christmas Party and Battle of the Bands @ PCSHS

Mr. and Ms. PCSHS 2008

TTT-Socie-T had a representative for the male and female. EJ and Jenn. Luckily, they both won first runner up. I was one of the anchors (also a proud TTT member).

Paskotitap 2008

I enjoyed the Paskotitap 2008 held last December 14, 2008. The assembly was at Tiendesitas at around 5pm and ended in front of Pasig City Hall around midnight. We didn't win any award (huhu..) yet, I really enjoyed it because of the people. During stop overs, people would come to us and ask if they could take our pictures. Children, adults, teens, girls, and boys (jackpot! wohoo!!! hehe...) approached me and my friends (PCSHS paskotitap dancers). The smile seen on their faces made everything feel worth it.


I actually cosplayed an anime character from ______ (secret!); but some guys approached me. They thought I was a character from Ran Online. Haha... Well, I wasn't the only one who experienced that. Bade was called 'Bleach' instead of his character's name. Jenina was called C. Lee instead of Ten Ten. Alvin was called thin Naruto, Alex was called Kenshin instead of Inu Yasha (in spite of the white wig, the red attire probably made some adults confused), and many more.



I was home by 1pm. hehe...

Chaperon for a Day

I had to help my friend, Jenn, for her make-up (and also helped her in some other stuff) in her pictorial for the school pageant.

Clan Meeting

Last November 30, 2008, we had a clan meeting (Salonga side) at some place secret. I thought that it was another ordinary clan meeting wherein the kids do kid stuff, we (teenagers) do fun stuff (talk, sing, play music, drink, smoke(ehem..not all!), swim, take photos, etc), and the elders do adult boring stuff such as have a meeting about things we the teenagers do not care about.



Then the elders called us teens up. It started out with a simple attendance check until there came to a point wherein they told us that they are handing over the responsibility to us. Ugh.. next part is giving us girls the hard and boring responsibility such as handling documents, contacts, minutes of the meeting, etc. The adults told us that they'll just be our advisers this time and the clan stuff (meetings, reunions, etc.) is now handled and organized by us. Not to mention that we have to start our own fund.


Meeting started as if we, teens, are like serious adults and stuff... We had to appoint jobs to each other but we didn't have the votings yet 'coz the adults told us to create the different committees and officers on our next meetings. We just have to get to know each other well first.


Then when we get old, we get to pass it on to the next generation of our clan. Err...

Astronomy "Surprise" Quiz Bee

Our team had to compete today, February 17, 2008 at the Manila Science High School. Knowing that the quiz bee needed only two participants at that time, and being busy with the Solar Boat Race, I decided to be the alternate of the team--aside from the fact that I didn't have ample review.

Just then by this morning, when we arrived at the venue, we were told that they needed four participants. Uh oh... that means, I am included.. I was really surprised when my coach told me that I "have" to compete also. At that time, I almost panicked trying to memorize different terms/number/dates/space probes/etc.. I so damn hard... I think I only had thirty minutes to review.

The quiz bee was comprised of two parts, Individual elimination round (written exam), and the team finals (oral)... Several schools attended. That means less chance for someone who was not able to review... because of luck, I was happy that the questions in the test were all about stars and celestial bodies--my favorite topics in astronomy. Yay..!

And so, after the elimination round, we had to wait for the results... when the results was showed, Manila Science High School ranked first... while PCSHS was second.

The finals came, we almost got perfect scores in the easy and average rounds.. unfortunately, the difficult round was really hard, at it was worth a lot of points. [easy=1pt. ave=5pts. diff=10pts.] Because of this, some schools who were able to answer some questions were able to cope up...

...and thus..



we ended up at Third place.


But,

looking at the bright side, one of our teammates was not able to review (haha...whoever that is), yet we still managed to have a place...

Solar Boat Race

Yesterday, February 16, 2008, we competed for the Solar Boat Race held at Don Bosco Technical College, Mandaluyong City...

Three boats that our school made we qualified to join.. but then one was qualified up to the finals.

The place was really hot because we needed the sun's solar energy to make our boats work--but everything (every suffering under the sun) became worthwhile because our school made it as the 2nd placer in the race.

Being involved in such a thing was fun.. because of the experience, and we finally found a reason why we should love Physics.. Hehehe... this was actually my first time to join a competition related to Physics. because oftentimes, I compete with Astronomy-related stuff, Computer related things, and Chess tournaments.

Black Hearts

I'm giving my loved ones black hearts (with some touches of red) on Valentines Day..

A heart contains a poem(s) and the design is simple.. yet, it says that it's made by Phantasm Darkstar(me) just by looking at it.

January 2008 Photoshoot

We had a photoshoot after the periodical exams last January. As usual, I'm the photographer (make-up artist and the one who decides the attire also. hehe)... Wohoo..!

Being addicted to photography, I persuaded my friends to be my models... Last January was one of our official photoshoots (official because it was planned and it was really successful compared to the past photoshoots..). Again, (haha.. repetition.) I'M THE PHOTOGRAPHER. yay!

I don't know why, but I'm the kind of person who loves to take photos. That includes editing them... hehe

Valentines Day Celebration

Third year students from our school got to celebrate Valentines Day because of our Literature class. English teachers have decided to make us write a poem for our friend, and a poem for our loved one. After that, we have to make a heart, write our poem there, and then display it along our corridors so that other students could see our work.

The hearts contain the poem that we made, the name of the person whom we are dedicating it to, and our name. Anonymous is not allowed.

Those hearts have to stay there until Valentines Day. On Valentines, we have to give our heart to the person..
