Can you believe it? I WAS a nerd. haha.

I did some serious reviewing naman, but minus the full effort. I can't take exam stress, for all you know. It's always been a rule to me that I must always feel relaxed in any written exam I am to take.

However, due to the rule I've imposed on myself for the past four years, the results of my exams so far are somewhat "death defying". And it ain't good for someone like me who wants to do well in school-- academically speaking, especially now that it's my last year in DS and that I am a graduating student.

I just hope God is hearing my prayers right now.


PS:
SD brainiacs, it's all yours. Do your all your bests okay? Show them what you all got. =)

Anyway, since they had to dismiss us by 12pm for three consecutive days, we had the opportunity to do whatever we want in the afternoon. Yes babies, we never went home straight to study for tomorrow's exams, and it's nice... really nice. Imagine having the entire time to some place when most students were having tedious classes (and grave reviewing). Oh, pure luck.

It's nice that I got to spend most of my time with these people (Eka, Lhorns, and Cham)-- Wow, I sound like it was a first-time albeit they are the ones I usually hang out with. Haha. No really, maybe it was just during those times that I came to appreciate truly their company. I mean, we don't need malls, we don't need gorgeous outfits, and we don't need shopping moneys just to spell out F-U-N. It's nice... really nice.

Oi. I think DS would be a better campus if they choose to dismiss us that early on a daily basis. I swear, all students would love to transfer there. Haha. :)

So much for wishing a half-day session in school. As if!

Maypaningit

It was just last Thursday during our mini meet up (she asked us to help her do some stuff at the coord. room) when Mrs. Sarmiento (our nanay-nanayan) told us things that made me admire my class section even MORE.

SD (St. Dominic) class has been regarded ever since as the "B" section, the "second" section, or simply the section where the so-so students belong. But that's just how most people see it-- you try the clearer way, you'll see that the second section is not really behind the other class where the five top students are in. I mean, DS ain't a public school for crying out loud.

It's really no big deal but the thing is, some students belonging to what they believe the "B" class, tend to undervalue themselves just because they think their mentors see them as students who can never be as good as those that belong to the other class.

Mas magaling daw ang kabila. Tsk.

Ma'am Sarms proved it all wrong.

True enough, just as what she and Sister Althea said, SD has better performance in terms of academics. Don't react yet. True, SD doesn't have the mega brainy dudes of the Senior batch, but we all have the potential naman daw to excel well in studies (as in WE). When you try to see the exam papers in Values of us seniors, you'll see that most students who got incredibly satisfying scores came from the SD class. Even in Fil. I'm not bragging-- I have evidences and people to bear it out.

According to Ma'am Sarms, SAG's more active on EC Activities. Well, oo nga naman. Every time that merong School Activity kase, nangunguna talaga ang SAG. Hehe. I don't know why the SD dudes are so discreet. Maybe... just maybe... we really have our own world. [read: may sarili kaming mundo.] hek hek.

Basta, mas ginanahan akong mag-aral ngayon. Mag-aral together with my classmates and friends. I'm so happy that I chose to be in this section. And I'm happier because I've got a second mother to keep me motivated, wide awake, and positive.


I love you nanay!!! And oh, thanks for the extra credits! I needed that. :)

Sister Althea is my nanay number 3. I love her so much I want to hug her. *hugs*

She believes in me, and I know not a soul but her who can give me full support and genuine spank at one fell swoop. Even if I tend to get all sleepy during her class, I make it a point to take in somehow all the lessons. If truth be told, ever since Sister Althea got to teach us in our Values subject, I've been having a greater sense of understanding regarding Religion, being a Catholic, and most importantly being a creature and child of God. If not for her, I wouldn't learn to compromise, to forgive, to be repentant, and to be who I am today. She's helped me in thousand ways and I'm truly thankful I found not only a mother but also a friend in her. Moreover, I now have deeper sense of recognizing the wrong from what seems to be righteous. Sigh... there's so much prized knowledge Sr. Althea's been imparting to all of us and only she can make us understand the whole point of such things. And I swear, if you're under her, it will show. Gosh, we're so LUCKY.

We're so lucky to have her instead of that SuperMario who did nothing but contradict and criticize her students. That SuperMario deserved the ousting she got from DS-- tsk. As if we needed her. Haha.

Peace. I didn't really mean that. ;P

Btw, that man you see above is Mr. Greggy. ;P

Magbalik

They had to call for a 1-3pm review and it was the last day of the 1st quarter exams. Wow, How shitty is that?! But since most of us didn't want any brain cracking session anymore, we decided to go somewhere na lang. We didn't escape. In fact, we bumped along Ma'am Valle on our way out.. haha.

Anyway, before we went out:

Yes, we had a guest in SD. Actually we had three, but Jujang was the most commendable. Ha-ha-ha!

Oh wait...

Do you still remember this Jujang guy? That "chakababe" in my 2006 blogspot? The one with clichéd hirits that Ynah and I found pretty hilarious? Hahahahahahahaha!!! I betcha, he's back! And he's even more... uhm... sagacious!

Aliw na aliw si Jujang sa Hawak-kita camera effect. Haha.

..and it's just now that I was able to put a face on this Jujang guy. Hahaha HI JUSTIN!!!

While waiting for Cham to arrive, Eka and I had a mini photo shoot. PICTURES will be up soon. :)
