All about School and Panda Girl’s Love life/story.
Probably most of you are tired of reading my posts about me and my hectic life, which is by the way hectic because of our common reason, school. But anyway, I’m leaving this post public for some friends who wants to see this but just like my important rule, I won’t be allowing any anon comments (if you’ve stalked my previous fics, you would know why)
Tell us more about your private life
Someone told me that. And I have to say, that I have been struggling to tell everyone about that, but…it just doesn’t work out because 9 out of 10 posts are fanfics and that one remaining would be the blog about me or worse a rant…
As early as now..I know that I can never merge my private life with my online life basically because I’m keeping this journal as a fangirl.
It’s okay if some, just in case, wants to carry out on reading this entry, but I shall warn you that this is all about my private life and nothing special. It’s about school and my friends. I’ll write what’s in my mind, not because I want to boast around but because of my Psychology teacher.
Okay so start.
Just a week ago, we had this topic meditation topic in Psych. Something about how we relax, and then in the end, we kind’a of opened up the topic that shutting up once in a while, writing what’s in your mind and the list of new things goes on for me, is a way of meditating.
Though it’s quite unbelievable that I can shut up, well in my friends’ POVs of course, I do that most of the time. I mean, hello! My sister and I live in a very small house!! We don’t have any television (not like I enjoy watching it in the first place) so the only way of killing our free time is to either sleep, study or meddle with our own laptops, which of course contains fangirl materials. I never knew just with writing fics…I’m already meditating!!! Don’t laugh at me. Please. And I will drop the online life before any of the wires get hit….I might lose track again. Anyway, the question
What are the things you’ve achieved so far?
Apparently, during that time, I haven’t thought about it all. But here I am.
Prelims, true enough, is my shinning slash grace period. Ever since High School prelims, otherwise known as the first term here, I mostly get high grades. But definitely, Midterms is the bitterest of all the bitter things to me, my grades go scuba diving and I get irritated the most and all. Me to blame? I won’t deny that. Probably because my study habits aren’t that effective anymore. Anyway let’s drop that. Erh...My midterms exams started around an hour ago so wish me luck :P Yeah, I shouldn't be here at all, but you know the call of LJ is just so strong and loud to be ignored.
I said in my previous post that I feel so gloomy. The truth is, I just finished my last midterm quiz in Math 2C. I was asked to write the formulas on the chalkboard. And the quiz, I have to say, is easy. Easy, not until I came to the last item. I knew there was something wrong, but because I was running out of time I just went blah blah with the answering and passed my paper since my teacher is already leaving. It’s so unlikely of me to stay till the last seconds of a test, but I did that time! Then here comes Tisha, I think I already mentioned her in
this post, telling me that I did something wrong. I did not divide a certain number to another before I multiplied it to another equation! And that’s F****ng 20 points. I don’t like cussing and all, but that’s just how I really really feel. I nearly cried, yes.
Failure, once in a while is normal
I try to convince myself. But, it’s something very basic and I messed up! GOD!!! I don’t know why, but I feel so angry! Angry to myself! But anyway, I think I should try to find a way to forget that.
You’re asking why I’m acting like this..? My 99 will be 93 or worse if I don’t get my midterm exam perfect! Urgh….Oh no. I don’t know why, but when I try so hard to do something, it’s when I start to fail doing it! I literally felt depressed. Childish you say, I know that as well, but still.
Are you more on humanities subjects or scientific?
Someone asked me that.
I don’t really like Algebra, Physics and Calculus. I suck at National language, Arts, Music, Physical Education and written English. I like subjects that only requires memory, something that has preciseness and very factual, which is why I don’t like any subjects that are very complicated and has more than one possible answer.
For example, I can speak fluently in English when being talked to (trained by my mom) but I have flaws when it comes to written activities.
I can’t really understand something easily if it’s beyond factual things. I don’t really like school at all, but who doesn’t? I’m probably being irrational here, but I want to make it clear that I don’t dislike school 24/7, it’s seasonal of course.
I believe that there are still a lot of challenges for me out there, and I will try my best with each and every challenge, so for me to think about the things I’ve achieved so far, maybe that’s a bit unclear first.

In another part.
I really love my new blockmates now. It’s inappropriate to call them new since we’ve been together for more than three months now. Just that….the semester will soon come to an end, sooner or later, I might end up in another set of blockmates again. Summer term sounds fun if I were with the same set of block. The first and last time I neglected my summer break for classes was during 9th grade where I attended a Japanese School and studied to play the piano, drums and violin with an extra Japanese Class. Yeah, being able to play the drums, piano and violin is not my natural talent, my dad has spent more or less 18000P (roughly 400USD) just for me to learn them, perhaps it’s also the reason why I’m not really as good as my sisters and younger brother who were born with natural skills. Back to the topic,
I admit, that during the first month, I didn’t really make much friends, I didn’t talk to them as much as I talked with my previous class. We weren’t as close or as noisy as my first sem’s block. But now that I think about it, I wasn’t that close either with my first blockmates. We also had our own circle of friends, worlds, lives, and paths. What made me feel that we’re all close together was the noise that we made, the things we did for fun.
In comparison to my current class, the bond that we had sometimes was just the same as the first. The eased feeling I had with my first block is also present just that I didn’t pay attention to it until the pre-enrollment forms went out. The thing is, those who will pass their forms together would be in the same class.
Just when I got used with Mira’s noisiness, just when I got used Tisha’s study figure and go-go-go-fighting spirit, with Christine’s violent jokes and way of communicating (not in a bad way, she’s really friendly), with the Paulines’ (there are two) friendly and academic remarks and struggles, just when I got used with every single childishness, I realized that we don’t have much time left, I realized that I enjoyed so much, that I didn’t feel too different at all. I realized that the NONE SO FAR catchphrase that I and Frank started in Math2C, and ended up being used and mimicked by the whole class (with Mira’s lead) is just plain genuine for me.
I have to admit that there’s a decent amount of people whom I really don’t like and I won’t want to see them in the same room anymore either, but I want those that I like to stay. Particularly those who are on the same column side as me (our seats are divided into two partitions, the left column and the right column, I’m seated on the center aisle, front row of the right column in almost every subject hence, those rows behind our row, I want them to stay, most of them!)
I like someone from the same class yo! And I don’t think this is the first time I mentioned about it. It’s not really the like LIKE, but it’s more of a liking admiration, since he looked clean and decent. I really like boys who are neat looking so he got my attention the first time I saw him. And my BMs aren’t as oblivious as they should be about that matter, so I end up being teased and hooted at, every time I have a useless and pointless interaction with him. You know how people tease and go like ’eeeeeeheeeeeeeeeeeee’ when they know that you like someone? Yeah almost every day I get that. And the last time I like someone from the same class was like during my pre-school days? Yeah, more than eleven years ago.
But just recently, I discovered that he’s smoking. And Smoking is the last I would want to see a person do. I liked him because he looks neat, but first impressions, after all, never lasts. True, he’s responsible when it comes to his academics, but smoking is another case. I don’t mean to offend anyone, okay? If I can tell him to stop smoking already, I would, but I couldn’t technically because I have no right to stop him from whatever he wants to do because he doesn’t meddle with anything that I do either. So I should leave him with that. I can’t really say I don’t like him anymore, because most of the time, I end up being caught gazing at him so intently that he could melt. According to my mates, my emotions are easily seen in my face, soI’m obvious as I can be, and the turned-off feeling won’t be an omission either. I still like him, but not as much as I like him before. Period.
And of course, the highlights of this post…Panda girl’s love story.
My friends call me bitterbecause I tend to be harsh when we talk about boys. My dad has this strict rule of no boys, no drinking while studying and I have this full plan to abide within him since he’s my dad. And in the first place, we were sent in this place, hundreds of kilometers away from our hometowns to study not to disobey them. To make them feel proud and finish our study for our bright future, so for me to get myself a boyfriend, that’s ABSURD and I wish the day where I will take these words back wouldn’t come until I finish college. I tend to get angry to my friends who cries for they boyfriends, for those who can’t break up with them when they get suffocated…for me, you’ve lived you life for more than sixteen years or so without him so you can manage without him more as well.
So things like Love and Lovelife aren’t entertained when it comes to me. Yes I’m a writer, but that doesn’t mean I want one myself right? My friends since high school even said something like If you don’t want to wind up with you and your boyfriend breaking, never ask her for advices, in my opinion, I will usually ask them to break-up, so that’s ought to be true.
It’s nearly valentines. So in our university, they have this small competition about love stories, something like how the couple ended up being together.
Let me get you a small background…
Panda girl’s name is Christine, my blockmate. The first time I saw her, I seriously thought I shouldn’t mess up with her; her aura is lying around the tough, unfriendly and tactless side. At first we were kind’a seated beside each other for IT2H and I already noticed that her pen is filled with Panda stickers, and even the cap itself! So because of that, I have this habit of calling her Panda girl secretly since I failed to memorize her name for the first two weeks.
And then, I noticed of course that she has a boyfriend. Up until now, I can’t familiarize myself with his face, but one thing and sign that I have to know that he’s Christine’s bf, well I kind of called him Panda boy as well, is his Panda stuff toy hanging on his bag, it’s like his ID for me.
The thing is, I only made the Panda-stuffs by myself at first. However there was this one time while I was chatting with one of my friend about my old crush in school who I call as a tarsier because of his big eyes and since he kind of gained some weight I blurted something like He looks like a panda now!, and Tin (her nickname, PS: I already know that she’s the ebullient funny type of girl that time), heard me and went like What did you say? with bored and foolish eyes, and I went like eh? and because of that it was explained to me that she’s calling her boyfriend a panda, for real! I mean…I just made up a code for myself about the panda-thingy but I never knew that they’re actually calling each other pandas for that matter!! Come on…haha I cracked with that. And of course, it was clear to me, that there’s no Panda except of Mr. Panda.
But I have to admit that he’s a real sweet one. They’re always together, spending his break time on our room, waiting for each other…and there’s this one time that we had an activity in psych where we have to eat…when I entered the room, he was there! Eating with Tin and her friends! Oh…how sweet can he be? No idea. Seriously, I never saw a boy willing to eat with his girl’s friend just because they have a small activity for a subject! Oh well, Mr. Panda left an impression for me because of that.
And I opened up their topic because…I read their love story.
In respect of course to Tin and him, I won’t be posting the whole story here, first, because I never asked for permission and second, it’s written in Filipino.
It’s a three short bond paper story, Kristen ITC (if I remember correctly) font, and 12 size? Am I correct? Oh well, whatever. With Christine’s appearance, I wouldn’t have guessed that her love life was like that. They went through so much trouble and how they developed their feeling is just amazing and I wouldn’t have thought it could actually happen in real life! Oh, and at first, I thought Panda boy is a higher year but nah-uh, he’s also a first year like us. And to think that they’ve known each other since high school!
Their genre is more of angst with a crack, comedy and fluffy feeling…yeah, something like that! If I were to rate them, the first stage is like that Crack, then comes to angst, where she started to realize that she has feelings for him but she just can’t let it out because probably it’s just the feeling of friendship (since they belong to the same circle of friends but they tend to fight almost every time they have) and because both of them were in another relationship and angst because she can’t break-up with his looser boyfriend that time who’s suffocating her and Mr. Panda is actually on the same spot as her…the comedy and fluff is along the whole story progress and it took both of them a very long time to be divulge to each other.
Mr. Panda’s girlfriend’s (during that time) friends kind of thrashed and brawled over him and things like that, and they were actually trying to get back at Tin (which is in anyone’s opinion I guess is dirty and cheap, DUH! Who would beat a girl? Crazy people only.)…but also because of that…
Yeah..they’re together now. It’s a happy ending and I wish it would continue. It’s rare to find someone as fervently protective as Mr. Panda, and to think that he’s allowing her to call him Panda is also a major point.
At first glance you wouldn’t think they went through so much trouble, but believe me when I say most of the first impressions are the converse of the truth. If I will have a boyfriend (which would probably five years or so from now) I would someone like Mr. Panda.
I want them continue being together :P
For those who read this…wow, congratulations…it’s a long long post :D
Why Panda?. I also asked that type of question and Christine answered me Because he looks like a Panda WHUT!?O.O well I have to admit Mr. Panda looks like a Panda. Dun’ worry I cracked with that as well.
