SUMMER FLOORBALL <3

This is something that made my summer happy.

It must be the game.

And it must be the people.

First all women’s Floorball class in UP, and in PH. :))

Class + Sir <3  ———— xD

History yooo. :))))))

Woooooh! I love our class! :)

/// Thank you Flo Magboo for lending me your floorball stick for the whole summer. :D

I guess I’m in my normal ranting stage that I am hopeless in blogging. I fail to take pictures, I fail to update, I fail to write good posts. How long has it been since I last had a post here? I don’t know. Maybe now I’m beginning to accept that I should not push myself to blog. Or not. I still think blogging is great if I just keep updating as much as I can. :|

Well, what’s up with me? I guess I now have a new “blog”/diary/twitter which I will not tell anyone of. A confidant, I think.

NEWS ABOUT ME

• I’ve been having a lot of thoughts. Hmm, it’s not like its weird that I have a lot of thoughts. But these thoughts and beliefs lately are uhh, too, uhh.. personal and serious and life-or-death-related
• I’m taking steps into leadership. I’m gonna be a Director in my loved loved org and a head for an event in another org. I used to think I couldn’t do anything, but now I just found myself taking every opportunity to lead.
• I still think I suck at things. I honestly do suck at Frisbee.
• But I’m being quite active lately. I’ve been playing different sports at the tambayan and jogging more lately. :) I really love sweating.
• I got a new phone last February. So I haven’t been using my laptop for internet much anymore. I think it kind of helps.
• I’m having piano lessons, Floorball class, and a GE class this summer. Yeah, piano lessons again, now a different style. My teacher is quite scary sometimes. :S Floorball class is really fun. My teacher is nice, and kinda gwapo and married. lol. My GE class is… normal.

Oh btw, I’m supposed to be finishing my essay for Anthro now.

This long break needs to stop. Bye.

CWTS Camp Day 2: Lost

The second night (night after trekking) was program night. XD

^ They had karaoke there and each group had male and female representatives for the singing contest. lol. Instructors also sang. :D

^ Yes, that’s how the main hall looks like. That’s where we sleep.

We also had group performances. AND LOOOOOOOOL. People say our performance was benta. D: Everyone’s teasing us about it and telling us how good it was. Even up to now. :)))))

At first I was all kj and lazy to perform. But our team leader really wanted to perform for fun. He suddenly presented what we were supposed to do minutes before our performance. :)) I became excited about performing when I learned how really benta it’s gonna be. Everything was adlib on the stage which makes it even funnier. XD We did a great job, I must say! :)

The next day’s activity was Navigating and Swimming.

It was again about 7 hours of walking, but less mud this time. XD We got the first codes wrong and only realized it after our 4th code, so we got lost for like an hour (or more). :| Also, there were scumbags who intentionally put mud over one code for us not to see it. We wouldn’t be able to see it if our teammates weren’t playing around and by chance removed some of the mud from it.

We were again happy after the muddy part. What’s scary in this is that we had to walk into a forest again with no instructors around. At least there was cellphone signal and we had load for emergencies.

At the last parts of navigating, we were just singing/trying to memorize UP Naming Mahal for the last station. My only role for this activity was to be the leader of the singing cause I know all the lyrics to the song. XD

^ One of the station tasks was to cross the hanging rope like that and come back. I was lucky to be one of the 5 chosen people to do that. (LOL because I know the JI in that station XD). Nakakalula somehow yung view when you look down, but it’s okay. It was short but still fun. :P

And since we finished navigating very very late, we had to go and run to the Swimming activity right after. And the pool was really far, so we were very tired when we came. D: It’s a miracle I was still able to do that 50-m swim after whole day of walking and no rest.

CWTS Camp Day 1: We had shoes on our mud.

Whoaaaah So fuuuun. LOL

A post of pictures from Feb 3&4. :D

Obligatory group photo in the bus:

Though we don’t really have a team name, I love this group! XD

^ “Call me :) *insert teammate’s cellphone number here*”

The first night was just chill time so…

^ Our team just played Killer-Killer the whole first night. XD Intense paper snatching. Our roles: Killer, Police, Judge, Civilians, Pekeng Judge (Corona) - tells the group who he thinks the real judge is, Asiong - helps the police in guessing who the killer is, Chuck Norris - uhhh… acts cool. It’s funny how my teammates just made these up that night. LOLOLOL.

Another game we played was “Charge”, yes, the game from grade school. We had charge, offense by bang, double bang, homing, homing bang, kame hame wave, blink strike, defense by shield, blink, and reflect. Hahaha! And I always win so they bully me out of the game. XD

The next day was trekking day.

^ Walking on the road with upward slope. We were already tired before we even started trekking. o__o

^ Just a tree that reminds me of Slytherin.

7 HOURS OF WALKING ON MUD AND CLINGING ON PLANTS. I didn’t think I would be able to take that. :O We had mud on our clothes from walking (and sliding!). We had shoes on our mud (really :o sobrang covered na ng shoes namin). We had cuts on our hands from unintentionally holding on to thorny plants. And we got hungry.

LOL. Our group just ate canned stuff there and not our lunch even though we went through the trouble of bringing the kaldero of rice and container of our adobo (which just ended up getting sebo). Gaaaaah. I swear that kaldero made our trekking 5x more difficult!

^ And then it kept raining while we were trekking. It’s a good thing our group brought garbage bags for us to wear. Well, I remembered I had a raincoat in my backpack so I used that. (LOL lucky I didn’t really bring that intentionally). Also, I was lucky to have brought the waterproof camera there instead of the other cameras, even though I didn’t really expect rain. XD Wooo!

Still, the rain made the forest wet and more slippery everywhere.

And this was ow I looked after trekking. LOL Hannah Montana, I looked like I was wearing boots. I could’ve had more mud on my clothes if I didn’t have my raincoat on the whole time. D:

During trekking, we all wanted to get back to the main hall. It was a long long long and tiring walk/slide/trek. But at the end of the day, it felt like a great achievement to have survived it. :) I realized it was actually fun, especially when you’re with teammates you love. <3 (ui, so cheesy)

I realized I have more interest/skills in the “unuseful” side of life, things that won’t really matter when I work, things that employers won’t really look for.

I like musical instruments, drawing (not artsy photoshop, but only plain drawing), blogging, swimming, etc. These things are not so much related to being an IE, and having an IE job.

I have this new year’s resolution to do more leadership and stepping up things. 1. It’s because I just think I really need to start “stepping up” and get away from my fear of leadership. 2. I also need stuff to write on my curriculum vitae, so I think I’ll need a lot more of these activities.

I’m taking Eng 30 this sem. It’s about “english for the professions” so they teach us to write CVs and things like that. Of course, we were given a homework to write our own CVs. It was then that I realized that I have nothing much to write, and my classmates have CVs filled with work experience. I learned that employers wouldn’t really notice your CV if you don’t have much in it compared to others (unless it’s really really attractive… but still, what would they choose?)

I’m planning to join a lot of orgs and work on a lot of projects here in Engg. Partly because I’m interested, and yes, partly for the CV. But then…. I’m not sure if I really really want to work there or if I just think I want to work there because I could use its additional bragging rights. I’m not sure if I’m doing it because I want to grow or just because I want my CV to grow. I might just be wanting to please my future employers to get a high-paying job like what everybody dreams about.

I’ve also been considering joining UP Vocal Ensemble since my sisters and their choir friends have been inviting me to join. I think that’s something that I would enjoy more than political orgs or something. But uhh… that would be another 2days/week commitment.

Carelessness. Always.

So here is the continuation of the ranting:

- Another bad news was from ES 21. First long exam results were released, and duhhh, I failed. Gah. I can’t believe this. Also, I had a really really low score in one part just because of carelessness. I shouldn’t be surprised though. Carelessness. Always, carelessness.

- Speaking of carelessness, here comes the worst, most irritating thing that happened to me today. I got a 0 in ES 11 Lab B because of freakin’ carelessness in the average question. I interchanged the x value with the y value in the solution because the drawing looked like the 3 was for x, and the 4 for y. Gah, that’s just how I usually see drawings. I usually realize that I’m wrong during or after solving, but today, I didn’t (until my ever so smart and observant friend told me). Aghhh!!! It’s so frustrating. I could have gotten a 100 if not for carelessness! The average problem was so easy. Even the difficult problem was so easy today!!! :|

People tell me “bawi nalang sa next lab”. No! I can’t. I’m supposed to be getting 100 every lab. I can’t exceed the score of 100 in one lab just to make bawi. o__o that’s *duhhh* impossible. I already got a 50 score in one lab before just because I was lazy… because it’s Engg week! I *kinda* had an excuse, and it was supposed to be just one lab with a score of 50! (In this lab, I also got a 50 because of Lab A, thank God.)

It’s not that I’m such a GC and all that. (Well, this sem I might be really trying to be GC, I’m starting to aim high. People know I’m the laziest person in town. lol) Again, it’s not that I’m really GC. It’s just that I think ES 11 is the only subject where I have chances of getting a 1.00 or a grade with line of 1, at least. Hey, it’s my first time to really try to get an uno! It’s my first time to really try to aim high in acads.

And then I remembered how careless I was in the ES 11 exam last week. I calculated for the force applied at point F instead of point E. (You wouldn’t get it but I’m saying, I just had a mistake in reading the freakin’ problem!!!!!!) And because of that, my grade crumbles down. :|

Really really sad. Carelessness. Always carelessness.

Friday the 13th.

Gahh.This day is sad and irritating. :| (And man, I can’t even find the right words to describe what I’m feeling.)

It’s not that I believe in the Friday the 13th curse or something. This day just really turned out bad, without me realizing it’s actually Friday the 13th until my sister told me. In all my subjects, (except for Eng 1) I got some bad news.

- The lightest bad news was at ES 26. My classmates and I really couldn’t figure out what’s wrong with the code that we made for an exercise. (Yeah, an exercise. Not that much of a big thing, but still… why the heck is our code wrong?!) My smart and observant friend even checked it and says it’s supposed to be correct. I like programming, but it sucks when you know the logic is supposed to be correct but the program doesn’t work. Why, computer, why?!

- The other bad news… I’ll put them in my next post cause they’re kinda related. (And too frustrating to put here. :P) —————— read here.

Good news though:

- I was having a problem last night because I forgot to get a copy of the exercises for Eng 30, which were supposed to be submitted earlier. But my professor told us that we could still pass them next time. :P

- My ES 11 lab prof told me she found my answer sheets. Wow, she just lost them before the exam. And I thought I was gonna have a 5% deduction in the exam because of that. :o

- I got to answer all the problems in my ES 26 exam. Whooo! (even though I was having problems with carelessness in answering my probset) whoo! XD

I was very upset all day. It’s a good thing I talked to Tim (good friend, always there to listen, I thank you forever) and I read Isko’s blog (haha! it’s quite interesting actually. we have the same views about things and we both experience weird things XD). Playing Tetris didn’t really help that much.

Question

danielleveronica asked: Hi :) Where do you buy the planners you bought?

Hi! I’m sorry for the ultimately late reply! I haven’t been checking my Tumblr (and therefore, my messages) lately. I bought the planners at Landmark, Trinoma. :) They’re pretty cheap, I swear! :D
