why?

too much going on too soon. my head hurts, my throat hurts. this is not good.

information overload during bio. another english presentation to do. surprisingly, had an interesting chem lessons – wonderful videos that might just save my life. a very confusing tok presentation. (christine, ours will rock! once i get around completely the powerpoint slides and script, that is lol) one more english presentation.

presentations force you talk – or at least say something. so I dont like to talk much during english. partly cause my brain refuses to function – I dont like to think you see – and I am quite contented simply listening to what others have to say, thats what makes things interesting, right?

oh and I’m lugging two boxes of polvoron to school tomorrow. it received a very welcome and warm response today. guys + food = where did the food go?

grabe naman, nakakainis! daming assignment, tapos walang oras. ano kala nila, isang subject lang ung ginagawa namin? minsan parang hindi nila maintindihan ung sitwasyon namin… paguwi sa bahay pagod na pagod, ano p b magagawa? san ko ba mahanap ung oras…

angels and demons – part 2

interesting sermon topic, of which I only heard the last part of, in between collecting offertory and counting the money while listening to vanessa’s singing and comments: I’m going to your[zavier's] house and bring my own bak kua to eat and watch my own tv! (iuno what that’s about) and complaining about plastic notes and how it makes counting the money hard, to which we all agreed that she should use whatever she gets for chinese new year to donate a cash counting machine to the church. loll.

anyway, there was this guy who shared about how he was born into a staunch Hindu family and how he rebelled from his father’s controlling ways. he recalls one vision he saw of this street in India where there was a temple – to which he found out later that his father had in fact dedicated him to some idol in that very same temple. there was also a story told of this woman, who by the power of God was able to remove objects that cast a shadow on her family’s life, amulets and figurines and all, and her entire family was finally able to experience peace. it goes to show the extent of that one action in allowing such spirits a firm stronghold over our lives. I’ve heard of these stories many a times, though I’ve not witnessed any, hence I have doubted the possibility of these things even occuring. but that is perhaps what keeps my faith strong – the constant questioning of everything, of the world, of people and their ways, and learning to see from God’s point of view.

a decision made

and so I’ve finally left xanga, and maybe i’ll still keep it. I’ll simply jack sparrow it – you know, make it up as I go along…

once again there’s so much to do, work is piling up, each task on top of another, till the last one is hanging precariously on the edge – would it fall?

one thing’s for sure, I am glad to have today relatively free, to do all the work, which, quite obviously, isn’t done yet. Still, I’ve done a fair amount of work and am indeed happy about it.

was wonderful hearing from marilyn and rowena again, a reminder of the fun times we had together in 1T13, a glimmer of light in my otherwise gloomy journey – that 2 months in cj. I was even happier and pleased to find out that there will be a class outing, hopefully I can make it. It’d be great to see everyone again, to see how people have changed in that less-than-a-year period, to do lots and lots of catching up. Please let that day be kept free.

on to the highlights of the week: that unforgettable geography lesson. on how to talk your way out of getting a speeding ticket from malaysian police – football’s the way to go. about how he has taught people who became famous: stefanie sun and nick middleton. and how he almost shot to stardom, the close fight to earn a dream job – to become a sports commentator, and losing at the beginning of who wants to be a millionaire, he didn’t have the ‘fastest finger’. Its interesting to note that I find it harder to remember what he said about rivers. Hahaha.

then there was of course, the release of o level results. so my batch got beaten, the juniors brought the average down to a 13.6. sadly for music, only one got an A1, though a 62.5% distinction is good anytime. Next batch of music students: work hard and raise that figure! joshua – the godbrother – has a final score of 13 for poly. interesting choice he has – aviation management. I was quite disappointed with the performance of the secondary 5 students of henderson though, they didn’t do as well. anyway, I wish them the best in their next step ahead and hope that they’ll give their all.

quite a week it has been, hasn’t it? and work is never far, and I am so looking forward to the next week (not)
