Strolling Ethan Around Galleria

It was a rainy day, we were supposed to Megamall at around 10am, but unfortunately were delayed due to the rain.

 

And he's already excited! :D

Megamall was full packed. As in FULL. Cars were waiting in lines outside just to get parking space,. We didn't stand a chance of getting one so we headed to Robinsons Galleria.

Of course, my mom would go play Bingo, and we - my sister, my brother-in-law and I - would end up wandering around the mall, checking stuffs out.

First stop: SNACK!!
Twistix, it's a fried potato cut in a spiral form and is held together by a long stick. (Nice description, eh? o.O) [regular - 60php | large - 70php]. They also have a lot of flavors in stock.

Yum Yum!

Next Agenda: Find me some volleyball shoes.
We strolled along the sports section of the mall, to find some good bargains - shoes on sale. But they all ended up way above my budget, which is around 1k. (I know, I know, 1k was a low, bad budget, but that's what my mom gave me). Training shoes, running shoes, and tennis shoes all cost way above 1k - some of them ranging 2-5k, even some of them are on sale already. T_T Moving on, we found a good bargain deal in Happy Feet. Buy 1, get your 2nd pair of shoes FOR FREE. (A buy one take one promo! YAY!) The shoes there cost 1.7k and above which is still a good deal for the second pair is FREE! YAY for everything FREE! *giggles*

Next Stop: My dad. I gotta tell him about the shoes! Okay, we didn't buy the pairs of shoes YET. He just gave us some food money..

FOODUMS AGAIN!

Burger King FTW!! Didn't you know they are having an "AWESOME 4SOME" promo? Four of their meals will have an additional sundae or an apple pie for free! YAY!! Something FREE again! :D Two of them are the Whopper Jr. Meal, the BBQ Meal (I forgot the exact name). They cost 135php each meal. And it includes the burger (which is an OKAY for the size, fries, drinks, and Sundae/Apple Pie) Yipeeee! I ordered something different. One of BK Singles, BBQ Bacon Burger (140php: burger + drinks + fries)! Nom Nom! and Hershey's Pie (95php)! My dessert was so YUMMY!

After that, we went back and waited for my mom to finish playing Bingo. And at the end, the stores closed and I didn't get to buy me some shoes :( T_T Oh well.. *sighs*

NOTE: Today is the last day I get to spend time with my LONG hair :P

this is me, saying BYE HAIR!!

Challenge #1

CHALLENGE!!

Okay, I'm just gonna do this cuz I've been just observing myself, and I hate the fact that I'm missing what life has to offer me cuz I'm just to shy to go out there and explore.. This time, I think I might have to change that.

Challenge: After this year, I need to be more outgoing. No more going into caves, no more sitting in the corners, and no more staying behind the fences. It's time to destroy the walls that has been hindering me. It's time to change outfits, it's time to change ME. well not the whole me.. just some part of me ;) After all, I still love myself.

Major Objectives
[ ] Meet more friends.
[ ] Socialize more
[ ] Be more active in events

well i guess that's basically the main point of this challenge..

Enrollment Experience

Okay, I know, I know.. I'm not good with titles, but as it suggests, it's about my recent enrollment experience..

This was my schedule before the enrollment. You see the long break, the great white gap between subjects? That isn't my break time or anything. CRS, our online pre-enlistment module, wasn't kind enough to give me all the 16 units I need for the school's next semester. I was only granted 10 units (not counting my PE and CWTS). O.o

That was me, being kinda lucky. YES! I'm lucky enough to have 10 units granted. But my what I'm afraid of is.. WAITING IN LINE for a LOOOOOONG time.

June 7th Daylight

I set my three alarms to make sure I wake up. One at 5am, another at 5:30am and another one at 5:45am. My last alarm did the job.

I stood up, and grabbed some bread and made myself a cup of coffee. I took a bath while I let my coffee get cold. I needed to be fast. My goal: to be there before 8:30am. I got dressed - I wore my new shirt :> :> - and drank my coffee. It was already 7:20am. I really needed to go.

Good thing, it wasn't traffic on my to school that I got there at around 8:15am. Still plenty of time! :)

I got things prioritized. I still need two subjects: Chem 28/31 [5 units] and Physics 72 lab [1 unit]. Of course, I'd put Chemistry as my first priority. I went to PH1100 where the enlistment for chem subjects are taking place. There were a few people there, considering it was still minutes before 8:30am. Well it wasn't long before the enlistment started and I opted to look for available Chem 28 classes. Unfortunately, there were none.T_T I walked out of the room. But I just knew that I shouldn't go without getting anything. There were few people inside and I'm not letting the chance of enlisting me a chem class go away just like that. I knew I had to go back. I walked back in and chose to look for Chem 31 classes. Luckily there were a quite few with available slots left, but none would fit my schedule. Chem lec and lab came along with only one class together. I asked the person assigned for Chem 31 if she could separate the lec and lab to give me a chance of getting the subject. Luckily, she did. And I got me a Chem 31 class! YAY! <3

Next stop: Physics 72 lab. It was around 8:45am and I expected everything to get finished at around 12 noon. But no T_T. There was this tricoll thingy, something where people with courses within the colleges of CSSP, CAL, and CS were prioritized. DARN! I had to wait 'til 1pm till regular enlistment begins.

~~~~':':'~~~~~~~TIME SKIP!!~~~~~~~~':':'~~~~~

We were there, crowded like chickens inside the main entrance of the NIP building, waiting for the queue numbers to be given to us. She gave it away by student number! o.O O.o okay, what about the people who got there earlier with student numbers 2010-9****?! unfair huh?

She prioritized people with student numbers 2000-2009 which is okay with me, but when it came to our batch, it was just unfair! She called in the people with student numbers 2010-0****, then 2010-1****, then 2010-2****, then STOPPED! okay, I still could handle it.

After around an hour she came back then called in people with student numbers 2010-0**** AGAIN!!! then had to pause since there was no queue numbers left. DARN!

After quite a number of minutes she came back, called in the older students first then decided to continue calling students with student numbers 2010-3****. FINALLY! My student number was 2010-51393. Then soon, i finally got my own queue number. It was "8". The queue numbers were up to 190 and they were still serving i think 70 that time.. I just couldn't remember right. And this was the start of HELL for me.I waited till around 4pm til my number was called only to find out there were NO SLOTS LEFT!! /wrist!

I waited there for around 4 hours FOR NOTHING. T_T Anyway, this was my new schedule I got.

Province Again Day 5 pt 2

 My four faces of boredom! LOL



SWIMMING!!

Today's Destination: Cora's Pool and Garden

Entrance:
[Day time] 50php Adult; 30php Children
[Night Swimming] (I forgot! LOL)
Cottages: 150/250php




I was expecting the place to be empty. But it isn't. A group of people are already there swimming amidst the greenish warm pool water. Yes, you read right: the water was green and warm. Hmm maybe because the sun was striking hot and that the water absorbed all the chlorophyll of the leaves that fell on it? Or maybe.. Ehem, I don't want to go there :)) Let's just put it that way: the water was green and warm.

 

Okay, time to describe the people we saw there. ^_^ >:)

Hmm, of course - it was already a default - the guys were tan. Well doesn't the tan of the body add appeal especially to guys? Hmm. Having a tan skin tone is like 2nd in my checklist ;) Okay, moving on. They seem to be party people, and drunk. Empty bottles of Red Horse were seen on top of their table. Well of course, we felt shy. But we had to ignore them - especially the staring-at-you part - to have fun.

It wasn't long before they all went POOF. We finally had the pool to ourselves. And as a tradition - well our family's tradition.. OKAY! MY tradition - we had to play TAG! FUN FUN FUN!

Well, this is me (the picture on the left) saying: I HAD FUN! And woot, i guess they did too ^ :)

Province Again Day 5 pt 1

June 4th, Daylight..

My dad woke me up by my window as he shouted my name. It was noon already. I overslept.

The table was empty except for two burger buns with peanut butter in it. I guess it was left behind for me to eat by my dad. But what about lunch? I checked the pan - monggo beans. Luckily someone came over and brought three meat dishes - menudo and two dishes I couldn't name.

my mom combing my dog, Nala

Outside, at the back of our house, i found my newly bathed dogs, Nala and Puma ^_^ Aren't they cute?

My mom also informed me that they don't have any flees anymore so I can cuddle them anytime! YAY!

 

And they are still working on our new wall. I think they're doing a fast job. ^_^

Plans for later: SWIMMING!!! I'll make a post about it later. (_-.-)

An Escape from Cyber World

Recently, I must admit I was quite addicted to computers. I let myself focus on the pixels my computer might offer me. At the same time, I turn away from all the beauty life may offer us. I sit there, caged from the vicinity of my computer area while life around me keeps blooming on, moving on while I was there, left behind in front of my computer.

Thanks to the recent happenings - most specifically going in the province - I learned how to enjoy life again. I once thought that happiness lies within the computer screen, because I once thought life outside the cyber world was boring and insignificant to me. But right now, I'm proving myself wrong. I also once thought that I couldn't survive without a computer. And again, I'm wrong.

Computers are quite beneficial indeed to us, for communication, education and for many more purposes. Yes, it is quite useful to know other people from all over the world, but isn't it more important to know the people NEAR us? It has been quite a while since I set foot outside our house just to sit there and watch the world go by, and probably meet new people or meet people I've never talked to for a very long time.

I won't explain further as I'll let you guys experience it at first person's point of view.. Right now, all I know is that it gave me something I'm missing for a very long time.

Province Again Day 3

June 02, 2011

I woke up at around 8.45am, finding myself bathing in my sweat. There was no electricity. I tried to sleep it off, but my body just couldn't stand the heat. My head hurt and I just feel restless. I just need to get up, I thought.

With no electricity, I found myself going to one place to another. Laid down on the living room sofa, then went to the duyan outside, then sat on the tumba-tumba (rocking chair), then went back to lay down on my bed. I just couldn't handle the heat.

We finally decided on going swimming. I got excited. Only to find that it started drizzling. Swimming or bathing in the rain? Either of the two options sounded delightful - they were both refreshing.

Well, with every two separate roads, one must be chosen. We chose to bathe in the rain.

The rain started pouring in wildly. Large heavy drops of water fell down from the sky as hard as arrows coming down during the war. They were painful on the skin, like needles darted towards you. And then comes the freezing winds that roars wildly along the beat of the falling rain. One may consider this symphony but to my ears, they were definitely not. The rain was harsh, and the wind was cold. And my body was shaking as if I'm epileptic. We walked on the streets, walking by people - mostly guys strutting their tanned bodies, even some toned muscles, with their arms curled on their stomach. It was cold, and I know they, too, were freezing. Despite the coldness, it was still great. It was still great to experience bathing in the rain.

I then decided to wash all the rainwater from my skin, and change clothes. And here I am, finally with the electricity being back on, writing this once again boredom-inspired blog post. I know I'll be back writing more. ^_^

Province Again Day 2

I woke up in the middle of the night - around 3am - and found myself almost unable to sleep again. The wind was chilly, and my electric fan was steady, faced at me. It was very cold. My pillows were thin, and I didn't have any blankets with me.

I finally had some sleep. I woke up at around 10am . I had my breakfast - bread buns with peanut butter - and it was quite unappetizing. I barely ate anything. It was getting hot and humid so I decided to take a shower and to apply hair treatment. After showering, I ate lunch.

I know, I know.. this post is getting BORING. ^_^ That's the reason why I'm even posting this - it's boring in here.

After the quite tasteless lunch we had, we went to SM Rosales. We watched Kung Fu Panda 2!! It totally rocked my day. The plot was fast paced and it had more action scenes in it than the first movie. I also found Baby Po sooooo cute! [darn, I want a pet baby panda right now] My mom went to do one of her guilty pleasures - bingo. And it was worth it - for her. She won a net total of 2.5k which was really cool, considering the prizes here were relatively low compared to the bingo places in the city.

After the tiring day at the mall, we decided to have a refill at Razon's in Urdaneta City. Razon's is known for their delicious Halo-Halo, but it was quite disappointing to find it unavailable. I ordered their palabok instead, along with some fries and toasted bread. Still, it was all worth it.

And now, I'm right here at home, writing this boring stuff to you guys. Haha I'm imagining you guys already imagining my boredom. ^_^ That's life.
