and ATENEO WINS!
(ateneo vs FEU)
(62-59)

Well they could have done better. I think their problem really is their defense. Hindi sila kasing kulit na mag defense tulad ng FEU e. They must want the ball badly. (HAHA okay! its as if I'm good at basketball. I dont even play basketball! HAHA!)

Is it weird that I'm rooting for ateneo when I'm not even taking the ACET? Yea it is. (haha) I'd rather root for Ateneo than any college there in the UAAP. let's say I do get into UST, naahh... I've been accustomed to root for Ateneo every UAAP season anyway. All my older siblings went to UP, but neither really said OH GO UP! let's face it, They're not really the best team. They're a good team but others are just better. (sorry haha!:P)

I can't wait to go to school tomorrow! ugghhh!!! I feel so happy. (blush blush)

I auditioned yesterday for La salle's Cue drama club! I was exhausted from ballet the other night and also from the small gathering I went to (there were a lot of little kids. so kulit! but I love them (:) so the next day, I had to wake up early because I still had to arrange my transpo and stuff. it was crazy. it started at 8am, came in at around 10:40 (BAKIT BA. BATAS AKO E. HAHA!) they i guess started with the memorizing of names then the energizer activities. FUN! HAHA! then lunch then the auditions. Man was I feeling weird by that time. I know I was a little sick by then but still continued with my audition, which was a contemporary dance to John Mayer's song, Slow dancing in a burning room. but didnt finish it. he
hehe:D
dinner was oddly quite tonight. It doesn't normally happen in the Rivera house you know. I was seated in between my two sisters on one side, my dad at the end of the table and my sister at the other side of the table. my little brother didn't want to eat anymore, my mom just got home from Yoga and my Brother is.. I don't really know.(its either because he's always out and no one bothers to ask anymore or because he went out without asking again) It was a pretty lonely dinner despite the fact majority of us were there. I miss sunday nights because I know its the only time of the week we get to enjoy each other. But for the past couple of weeks, We haven't really eaten together at home. Stuff happens when everyones already grown up. No once cares what each others thinking anymore.(well during the weekday. SCHOOL RELATED STRESS. HAHA) I guess that's why I enjoyed Little Prince so much. The little prince reminded me so much of my 2nd cousin, Andre. It's sad that he's in America now and is already 8 years old. (OH NO! NO MORE LITTLE ANDJENG:( ) He was the cutest little cousin anyone can have! He was so NAIVE to everything. I remember my sister trying to study for an exam, He was inside her room with a lollipop asking my sister if they could play. (He's makulit e! HAHA) and my sister told andre: "andre, I'm studying. do you wanna study?". he said yes straight away! but he didn't even know what it meant! I guess he thought it was the same as playing cause then the next thing my sister knew, he was jumping and rolling around my sister's bed with his lollipop in his mouth! much to my sister's delight, his lollipop also with his saliva, was all over the bed sheets! HAHA! it was so funny! He didn't know about anything, He was like a sponge just absorbing every idea that comes to him! He was living his life to the fullest. (He can dance thriller man! and he already watched all 6 movies of star wars by the age of 3!) I wish I could be like him. (sigh)

Hafta go back and do HWS na. err.. It is inevitable to lie about your feelings as you grow older.

A year ago, my tito got married. He came from the states and brought along with him his friends. one of which was shay (for seamus) and jay (for. .. uh. jason? sorry jay forgot! HAHA!). So Shay is a half irish and half Iranian? but lives in california while Jay's canadian. I don't really remember which of the two said we could really speak real good english. At first ... ok wow thanks. it honestly sounds like a compliment. don't you think so? then an afterthough hits you right in your face... HEY! doesn't mean that we're in a third world country, doesn't mean everyone speaks like Janina san Miguel (no offense). If you must know, English has become our 2nd language and not just another foreign language.

I remember someone told me today that in other countries that doesn't really speak english, don't make english and grammar a must in their education (although actually it is because it is the universal language. how do you expect to communicate??). You know, our country has the most potential to be like america in other aspects (not really on values, I still believe we have the best values and respect for elders). look at it this way, We have the potential to become businessmen from the resources available for us such as agricultural products or from the mining and what not. The problem now lies (as I believe) are in the education presented to us. Our school might have been the level 3 PAASCU accreditation but that's merely a paper signed by some officials who think they can control everything! The problem is (for example) a lot of the students in my class can speak english with the proper anunciation and correct grammar(althought sometimes we can't help the fact we make mistakes) better than english teachers in other schools or maybe in our school (ofcourse I can't say that for a fact). our education must toughen up or else. out of the hundreds of topics we are taught in a day, how many of that can you truly say you can remember everything and can re-teach it to other students. My point is we need proper motivation and well ...proper education. It is a fact that Only 7% show mastery of the English language, 2% in Science, and 16% in Math by the time they graduate their senior year.

I guess this is why I really want to become a teacher. (so kung history lang!) it all starts with the kids. THEY ARE THE FUTURE. I know I can do something about it. I know I can change these Filipinos to become a better citizen, to FORMULATE THEIR OWN OPINIONS OF MATTERS OF CONSEQUENCE AND NOT BELIEVE IN OPINIONS OF PEOPLE IN POWER (e.g. school, parents and what not) I'm pretty much really annoyed right now. first is because of our science research class. SHe sent us our stuff to do VIA EMAIL (why do we depend so much on you dear friend?) only TODAY. well thank you. If you hope that we would be anywhere close to submitting due reports for tomorrow well I'm sorry to burst your bubble my dear teacher, I don't think this will ever happen.  It's ironic to know that we remember only a fragment of our most significant seconds/mins/hours/days/months/years of our lives. We want so badly to remember everything of our lives when our brain just refuses to agree with us. It sucks to know we can only remember a piece or two of the huge jigsaw puzzle. I wish i could remember everything but then we see that its just impossible. so we resolve to "capturing the moment" by the use of cameras. although it fails to capture the even bigger picture, its the closest thing we've got to remembering our lives-the ones we really love. with a small picture, we create an imagination and for at least just a second, to relive the moment. LIFE IS FULL OF IRONIES.

We went to the Quezon province today because it was my great aunt and uncle's anniversary. it was really scary because of my great uncle who had a friend who was rich and stuff i may not say because i'm scared.... so he had bodyguards, and his bodyguards had an M16 and a handgun. it was scary. we left earlier than expected because neither of us wanted to know how things would have ended up if we stayed. I'm back in Manila and i'm tired. i did nothing today but eat and sleep and yet i'm tired. another irony. Currently listening to some classical music.It's weird though. I feel sad. Usually i know whats a good song if my emotions change because of the song!:> seriously! haha! that's why i don't like those rap songs because they mean nothing but sex,drugs and more sex. There are more to life that those, you know. see the difference between the old songs and the new ones? before music was something but then these rap artists have changed it into something monstrous! suddenly its all about being sexist just so you can sell your song!

GO UP PEP SQUAD! wala lang!:) darn it. I'll edit this enxt time. to tamad
