I'm tired, but I'm not in the moood to sleep yet... I'm weird, huh? Nevermind that. Life's been pretty much OK for me. I listened to the new remix album of Linkin Park and it was great! I especially like the remix of 'One Step Closer'. Really cool! That's pretty much all for now... I'm a little worried again for exams! It's three weeks away! I can't believe this is happening to me. I still haven't gotten over my last term exam, now, I'm gonna have to face another set of them again! This is ridiculous! I'm going mad! Ok, I know I'm a little upset so, I'll stop!

I'm a bit tired already. I haven't written for a while because I fall asleep almost immediately after I lie in bed. What I only intended to sleep for a few minutes lead to me sleeping the whole damn night! That's been much of a problem for me since I can't always get my homeworks done. Well, I'm pretty much happy that I don't have any homeworks as of tomorrow. Chemistry is killing me. My teacher especially. I hate her. I swear. She goes on telling us that our test would be on Thursday and then she gives them on Tuesday!!! What the hell is that? That's cheating! That's totally scum! I'm telling you, my blood was boiling the whole damn test. Good thing I passed. I never looked at my notes or stuff like that providing she told us we'll have them on Thursday and she gives them on Tuesday. I mean, I really felt... disgusted with her. Nevermind that. It makes me mad just thinking of the whole thing. 'Cast Away' is on HBO right now. Love that movie. Oh well, I'm running out of stuff to say so I'll stop here.

I'm already sleepy so I'll make this short. Rachelle's going to still be here in the next two days so there's a possibility that she'll sit in with us in class. Yey! I have been looking into the HPCOS trailer stills and they're all great especially the duelling club! *sigh I wish I was a witch. Anyways, gotta go. I still have a 7:30 class tomorrow.

Rachelle's home!!! But, I didn't get to spend time with her at all. My mother forbade me to go anywhere just because I went to watch a movie yesterday! I mean, what the hell is that? Since when did she become my schedule planner? Honestly. You'd think she forbade me so she could spend time with me. As if! The end of the world would come first. I'm not up to spending time with her either. She gets mad all over and I hate it. I'm beginning to hate her so God help me. She slammed the phone on me for the second time already. Right. What a fine example to set for your daughter *shrugs. Whatever, I'm not thinking about this any longer. It makes me mad just thinking about it.

I saw the Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets trailer! Oh my God! Draco Malfoy looks sooooo cute!!! Yep. I'm rooting for Draco Malfoy not boy-who-lived Harry Potter. I'm mainly into Draco Malfoy because of all the wonderful fictions I've read about Draco and Ginny. And besides, Tom Felton is cute! Hehehe... Ok, I know he's younger and all but hey, I'm just saying he looks cute. On the other hand, Oliver Wood is hot!!! But, he wasn't on the trailer. I can't wait to see Draco Malfoy playing Quidditch either! I'm also excited to see Tom Riddle's face, Fawkes and other stuff in Book 2! Is Book 5 out yet? I'm dying to read it! Oh and by the way, I have to say this: I hope Draco and Ginny get together! I know it sounds very unlikely but, I'm hoping. People should read the stories made by fans in fanfiction.net! Very nicely done.

Well, I got better results in my exams today. I think Filipino is all I have to worry about. Chemistry and Philosphy wasn't so bad. I'm glad it's Friday tomorrow! Finally. Buffy is on tonight in channel 42. It's a bummer that we're like two seasons behind! I really think Buffy and Spike should get together. I like Spike. Cute, bad boy kinda guy. Hehe, a lot of people agree, though. But I have this bad feeling that nothing will happen to the both of them. I think Buffy is too much onto Reily (however you spell it!). Oh welll, nothing much on my mind right now, so I'll stop here.

I don't really know what to make of my filipino grade. I'd hate to think about it. I just got home from school. I also finished my exams today, the last one which is p.e. It was ok if you ask me. Hopefully it'll turn out alright. My mind is kinda black right now. Nothing much happened anyway. I already finished "Once and Always" and "Until You" by Judith McNaught. I really like her. She makes such nice stories. One you can dream about. Sorry, I love reading love stories. That might sound pathetic to some people but hey, what can I do? It's who I am so just leave it at that. I'm running out of things to say so I'll stop here. I still have to edit my tags.

What is wrong with envy.nu??? My graphics aren't all working!!! I noticed the same problem is going on with other envy users. I'm in an internet cafe right now researching on the "truths about exercise" which happens to be our project for our p.e. class. I'm not gonna be going home in probably the next two hours. I'm still gonna go back to school and do the group project. Hopefully it'll go alright. Wish me luck for exams tomorrow!!! English and R.S. are my subjects tomorrow. My psychology exam was good in my opinion, although I could've done better if I only studied... Oh well, what's done is done and I can't do anything about that.

I went to my grandma's house today as we usually do every Sunday. Nothing much happened. I can't have much fun due to the fact that some of the exam results would be given today. I'd rather not see them. I still have three exams to think about. We're not done yet so I still can't jump for joy. And well, after those exams, it won't be much of a relief because classes are starting already even before exams are through. This is tiring. I try to stay home often so I would get much needed sleep and rest. It's wearing me out. I keep thinking. Do I really want to be a nurse? I mean, I'm afraid to look at wounds, honest! I just finished watching "The Bone Collector" in HBO and I feel like gagging everytime I see some awfully painful wound. Hopefully I'll get over that. I wouldn't want to think about my reaction towards my future patients if I don't get over it, if you know what I mean.

I'm bored. I got off from school about 9:00 today. Chemistry exam was ok. Not too hard, not too easy. It was my only exam for the day that's why I got off so early. We went to Surfing Moo after that only to have my mom barging in on our surfing because she insisted I go home at that instant. I was supposed to go home with Diane and April but bad luck. Well, maybe not too bad luck since mom brought the car and we didn't have to get soaked with the rain. Rain. It's raining again. I mean, I don't hate it but could it just stop for a day. I'm getting lonely staying inside the house with only my mother, sister and helper to face. Yep, it's only the four of us here. There's supposed to be a storm and I guess that explains the rain. It's always raining. Last night, it was raining, too. Hard. Very hard. The lights went out, the lightning was illuminating everything and thunder crashed like there's no tomorrow. It was the kind of night you read in gruesome stories. The kind where murderers are lurking in your backyard ready to slash your throat if they see walking about. Kinda like that. But that didn't happen, though. The lights finally came a few minutes later. Oh well, I pretty much stayed inside the house for the whole day except when my mom made me do something for her. That's pretty much it.

Second day of exams. Somehow they got harder. Philosophy was killing me!!! Anyhows, I'm thankful that I only have chemistry as my exam tomorrow! Somehow the Lord listens to my prayers! Oh well, I'm still too lazy to study so that's that. I can't wait to see Men In Black II! I'm gonna watch it tomorrow!

First day of exams. It wasn't bad as I hope it would be. Our Filipino test was, well, very short compared to the outrageously long exams of my former teacher. I'm not very confident about what I've written in there but it wasn't at all bad. I only had two exams today. I'm supposed to be studying now for another two exams tomorrow, but I'm too tired for it. I especially liked our Algebra exams. I cannot believe my teacher. the last two parts of our exams was totally unexpected. Can you believe he gave us an instruction to write as many words as we can with letters from the word "ALGEBRA". Here's the most outrageously last part: he told us to write a short funny JOKE! Honestly speaking that was the hardest part for me. I wasn't expecting anything of that sort and when I saw it I was like, "A joke? What the hell does he mean?" I contemplating on what joke I was supposed to write. At that moment all jokes fled from my mind. I couldn't seem to remember one. Then came the prospect of writing a green joke but I decided against it. It wouldn't quite work would it? I mean, what teacher in their right mind would allow any student to do that? Honestly. Fortunately one joke came to me and boy was I relieved. Don't bother asking me what joke it was. It wasn't very funny at all. I would've loved to place a green joke but then, I wouldn't want the next week confined in disciplinary probation, won't I? Certainly not! I think they give out disciplinary probation for that stuff, although I'm not quite so sure, but just to be safe.

OH YEAH!!! No classes tomorrow and the day after that!!! Can you believe it? Hah! It's pathetic that I seem a little overjoyed over these things. Oh well, what can I say. This way, I won't have to wake up in an ungodly hour of 5:30 in the morning. I still have to browse through my books anyway. I have exams on Wednesday. Can you believe I already finished "Something Wonderful"? It took me like two days to read the whole damn book! Well, you read fast especially when you like the story. It's good! I liked it.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY EUNICE!!! ... Ok, that's all I have to say for now.

I'm tired as it is. It's a Saturday tomorrow and I still have classes. Can you believe it? I'm not enjoying my life right now. On the other hand, I'm not going back to school until Wednesday! Yay! We're having elections so, that's it. Supposedly, I am to have my prelim exams on Tuesday, but since it isn't possible they'll be moving it to the Tuesday the next week. I'm hoping I won't have a hard time studying. I'm assuming that it'll almost be like the longtests we had in highschool back then. I think I'll start studying on Monday... hopefully.

Right at this moment, I'm supposed to be writing a write-up about how I am alike to my parents. Well, I wasn't near successful in trying to do that. Not until I was sitting in front of my computer with a blank page of MS Word staring straight right at me did I realize that I really don't know how alike I am to my parents. I don't know them very much. Don't think for one minute that I am this rebellous child because my parents never pay any attention to me. My parents pay attention to me but, I don't know them very much. We don't talk mushy to each other, that's what I mean. We never spend any time talking about stuff like those. I don't think I want to either. I don't remember ever having to do that. The mere thought of it makes me cringe! I'll skip it anytime if you know what I mean. Oh well, I'll leave it to the most basic things I guess. Today I had my Lab exams in Chemistry (our teacher gave it in advance right before our prelims) and I don't think I want to know how much I got. I think I have at least ten mistakes. So much for wanting high grades, though. Anyway, I try to put it out of my mind as best I can. I'm not sure I want to dwell on it. It makes me worried. I just finished a novel of Judith McNaught, "Whitney, My Love". I think it's a very nice book, although the author did want to make me throw the book not once, but at least fifteen times while I was reading it. It's a little irritating and it makes me mad, but it's good I tell you! It is. I'm not even close to kidding. I'm really beginning to really like her, the author I mean. I'm off to read another book, I'm not sure which one yet. A month ago, I wouldn't have given a rat's ass about Judith and her books. But once in my English class, my teacher told us to read a book my a contemporary author and my mom told me to read her books. Before I knew it, I'm taking to my classmate who also happens to like her books. Pathetic? I don't think so. Not to me anyway.

Well, I got home about thirty minutes ago from school. Thank God I don't have any homeworks tomorrow! My life doesn't suck right now. I'm pretty much happy with the way things are going. But then again, prelims are just around the corner. More like next week. I'm kinda hoping it will only feel like a long test or something. During around these times, we would usually have long tests if I were back in highschool, so I'm kinda hoping it'll only be like that.

I'm a little pissed off at the moment. I think my mom is going through this whole menopausal(not so confident about the spelling so please bear with me) stage. She gets angry everyday and I hate it! I seriously loath that! It's like I never do anything right! She gets mad and shouts at me for everything and sometimes, you just have to ignore her. I do. I know that's not a very good thing to do, but isn't that better than shouting back? I think it is. Right now, I'm bummed that there's school tomorrow. Where did the weekend go anyway? Last Friday we had this Golden Jubilee Celebration of USLS. It would've been really exciting if I went to La Salle my whole life. But the fact is, I didn't so it wasn't as much enjoyable as it should've been. I've been going there for only about five weeks, so it didn't have that much of an impact on me. But it was fun though, with all the dancing, jumping and singing. It was fun. We rarely get that in my former school. We rarely had evening occasions or parties for that matter. I'm so thankful I don't have homework tomorrow! I gotta go now.
