It had been a very long week. I was actually too preoccupied to even remember what day it is, but I'm getting used to it. I have allowed myself to blog inspite of the long line-up of things I had to accomplish, but I'm multi-tasking, right now I'm sending the Physics PPT to some of my classmates. Anyway, I was drowsy in most of my classes today (especially during eco, but I was listening to the film, not viewing it, because my eyes needed some rest), a direct and obvious effect of sleep deprivation. I'm not the only one who has those circles under their eyes, a lot of my friends have them too, but not as prominent as mine(I was born with it). Things had been hard on us the last couple of days (for some; weeks), we had to comply with a lot of requirements, which includes, bookreports, homeworks, quizzes, sketching, the usual things that a student does, only, this is twice as hard, no, maybe just a half more harder ;). But who was I to complain? It's an inevitable part of
Good thing Larissa's birthday celebration is coming up, I need some time to avoid the loads, and just half fun. Don't get me wrong, school is incredible, especially with my friends being there, but I just needed a place that wouldn't remind me of the pile of unfinished business, a place like
. But that's on Sunday, which was good, because I get to study during saturday, which abides by the
motto. And also, saturday is our
picture taking. gahd! I'm sooo not ready.
I have another dilemma at hand though, my mom just read a couple of text messages that she shouldn't have. I try to laugh about the whole thing, but when I think of it, I get butterflies in my stomach(not the good ones) and my arms loses their normal strength. I'm

This year is definitely going to be full of
lasts... last year in highschool will mean, last long tests, last periodic exams, last pullout classes, last extra pull out subject, last mr. and ms. teachers (because in college we'll be calling them professors), last highschool field trip, etc.
For our
field trip educational trip, we went to Paradise Ranch in Clark, Pampanga, where in we were able to see some beautiful landmarks, plus birds such as ostriches and
peafowls(peacocks are the male peafowls) and lots of those very entertaining
makahiya plants :)), we also went in the butterfly garden, but I chose to sit down and rest instead, because the place was like 50,000 hectares of land, and trecking, would definitely lead to exhaustion. Moreover, we interacted with our aeta brothers and sisters, they were so
welcoming and warm, I even
danced with the aeta children, it was so much fun!! And helping them with our donations of food, drinks and old clothes, was really fulfilling. Not only were we able to help the Aetas, but also, we were able to help mother nature with our tree planting session! yey for us! :) St. Paul Parañaque even had it's own mini forest inside the Paradise Ranch, it was so cool.
We went to the Nayong Filipino after, It's a very historic place, with lots of replicas, such as the replica of Andres Bonifacio's house, Rizal's house, Emilio Aguinaldo's house, an Ifugao village and replicas of their houses, which were easy to clean with their roll-up floors, burglar-proof with their moveable ladders and flood-proof because it is placed relatively high from the ground, smart isn't it? There were a lot more replicas which I couldn't remember. After which, we wnt to Clark Museum, camera's were not allowed in here, so no pictures for us.. Inside were a lot of historical articles, such as very telephones, cameras, clothes, pictures, boots, guns etc. There was even a figure of the Blessed Virgin Mary, who survived a fire, it was amazing, and very overwhelming.
And for our last destination, we went to the original duty free shops, it was pure gold duty free -_- ... I didn't like this stop that much :)) It was chocolate-filled, and I'm not much of a chocolate fan.
But the best part of the trip was bonding with my classmates inside the bus, we had this social ranking caste system inside our bus :)) see, there was an elevated part at the back, with chandeliers as the lights, That was the
upperclass or the V.I.P. where we belonged, It was so funny because we had this
piture portrait taking, where in we had to pose seriously to demonstrate our cream-of-the-crop--ness. haha! But us back sitters, when they said that we should be stern, we posed otherwise, and vice versa. The V.I.P.s were also the nosiest, we partied hard on our way home, singing and dancing, blahblah. Then there was the
middle class they were the quiet ones and the sleepy ones as well :) then the
lower class/the urban poor, the funniest of them all,
hanep sa punch lines! And super
madaldal as well :)
"Di kami tumatanggap ng food na bukas na at pag nag bigay kayo, di na
makakabalik" --upper class
"magkaka-revolt of the lower class!! (lol)" --lower class"
(stop over sa isang place para mag comfort room) "huh?! asa school na?!
teka ung gamit ko! teka lang!" --Joanna C. of the middle class :)))))
