Haven't updated since last Sunday, since, well, nothing much has really happened this week. Same old, same old.We had the college orientation for two days, which was a big bonus for us fourth years, since it meant two days off from regular classes. It was boring though and I kept nodding off during today's afternoon session from lack of sleep. Haha. Ang saya katabi nina Frankie, Lori, Apa at Karay, even though I was quite lethargic most of the time. They were playing the game with the folded paper thing. Apa: Ilang mm ang circumference ng adam's apple ni tots? [tama ba lori? haha] Lori: Hmmm. Mga tatlong libo lang naman. Wohoo. I spent most of the orientation reading my book for the HRR, Wuthering Heights, by Emily Bronte. It's a good book, and I think it's better than Jane Eyre, a book written by her sister Charlotte. For one, it's a good deal less thick and for two, the story's plot is more colorful than Jane Eyre, since there's more juice on the first few chapters of Wuthering Heights. An added bonus: Wuthering Heights does not contain one single, solitary word of French, thus, I won't need the services of the ever-so-reliable online translator anymore.UPCAT's a few weeks away and I haven't even started reviewing yet, since I'm one of the world's foremost procrastinators. Haha. Maybe I'll start reviewing tomorrow or Sunday [or Monday]. Haha. Kidding. It's our retreat on Monday, so no can do. Reco letters please! Don't care if it's late, as long as you give me one. Only if you want to, of course. Thanks. I'm actually looking forward to going to Batangas, minus the actual trip there. I detest long drives, since I have this little problem called motion sickness that usually ruin fun trips. Make me spend four hours or so in a moving vehicle, and things could get pretty messy. And I mean literally. I hope the food at Capuchin doesn't bear a likeness to the incredibly insipid rubbish they serve at our canteen. I don't want to relive the horror of having to actually eat some of those God-awful things they call food. Well, okay, not all are bad, I can name some that are quite good even, but ketchup and corned beef in spaghetti and "pizza" that doesn't even looked like it's cooked? How incredibly low-class, cheap and cheesy. To think we go to a private school pa. Tsk, tsk. We poor students have no choice in the matter.I had so much fun with the girls during lunch. We played concentration for a while using our surnames. Jescia's was hard to say since it was so long so we made it lizan para mas madali. After that we invented a routine for a six-person bahay kubo game and proudly called ourselves "pioneers". It still has a few rough edges, but we'll smoothen them out after a few "rehearsals". :)***Justine Henin-Hardenne beat Kim Clijsters in the semifinals yesterday. 'Twas too bad, since Henin-Hardenne, who will be advancing to the finals against Amelie [I love her name!] Mauresmo, already has a Grand Slam title [French Open] and Clijsters doesn't have one yet.
