So, my LJ is still alive. LJ says my last update was 14 weeks ago. Whew. That's 3 months and two weeks. Quite a while, there. I'm not sure why I don't update. I can't really say that I was busy (Sembreak and Christmas break have passed), and I have a lot of things I wanted to note down, yet I never, ever got to typing it all in one shot. Here's attempt #321029381098.

October. October was overflowing with exams. One after the other. I have never been more exhausted than during those days. Although sembreak was only around 5 days away, we still had to deal with 7 exams. Ah, I'm so happy I didn't end up insane. I thought that I was going to fail Physics 72. Thank goodness that I was saved by the 9-hour studying I did for the 3rd long exam. I did kind of well in the final exam too. Made me realize how stupid it was to not study during the first two exams.
Anyway, exams came and went, and sembreak was almost there. Induction was on the 17th. I must say, this year's induction was a bit more epic than before. Probably because of the number? I guess it's really late, but congratulations babies :D
The week after I went to EK to celebrate Joey's birthday. Kind of odd, spending time with CSA people. They weren't weird, but it was kind of strange to hang out with people similar to who I used to hang out with during high school. IDK, but it was really strange. I had lots of fun still. AND I AM SO NOT GOING TO RIDE ANCHOR'S AWAY EVER AGAIN. NEVER. That was the second time I rode it. I only opened my eyes twice? I really hate rides like those >< (Although I do love LogJump :3) Sean got pictures of me covering my face. I shouldn't have let Francene talk me into riding ><
I finished the sembreak by going to Shirleen's place, as usual, for a sleepover. And Ainz was with us, of course. Candice was just too cute :3 (puera usog) Highlight: we made california maki! :D And I finally got to meet Ainz's new flame XD PLUS OMG WE ATE IN THAT EPIC EXPENSIVE JAPANESE RESTO THAT I FORGOT THE NAME. OMG SASHIMI WAS AMAZING. TENDERLOIN TIPS WAS DROOL-WORTHY. AAAAA. I love you, Mommy and Daddy. <3
Oh, I can't forget that bitchy nanny. She talks as if she's all that. Saying behind my back that I shouldn't dare wear a skirt because I'm fat. Hey, tell me that if you're some supermodel, but since you're practically the same size as I am, keep your mouth shut. I can wear whatever I want just as you can do the same. (Good news: she was fired two days after xD for more reasons than this :D)
Sembreak was too short. :<
>>><<<
November was the start of the second semester. Oh, I think this was the first semester that I didn't feel like going to school at all. The first semester was killer. Second sem is no different. Counting the number of exams, I've around 23 exams for this semester. A huge drop from 29-32 of last sem. However, my subjects this sem have far too many requirements: scientific papers, research papers, reporting, worksheet, plates, sketches.... It's really tiring. And we weren't even fully-recovered from the previous semester -___-
November = AME no Jidai! It was epic. I loved it so much! During Gakuensai, I was entrance person turned runner. In 8th ave, I was Karaoke girl turned runner. For Jidai, I was runner all the way. My gosh, I could barely stand the next morning. Since Jidai was held in Makati - far away from our house - I decided to just sleepover at Shirleen's house (Shirleen's DLSU org was an org partner). I met Naya and Arra, two very sweet and funny girls. Highlights: YAKIMIX <3 The sushi there was amazing! There were all these really weird flavors :3 The tempura sushi was... weird though. Thank you Ahia and Sa-so! :D

December. Christmas. December was pretty mild still. All exams on this month were moved to January (much to my dismay -___- now we're suffering). For the first time, I finally got to watch the Faculty Follies o/ On the day itself, I happen to see Sir Dino during his Bio11 class. He asked me whether I was going to watch the Follies, and I said yes. He told me he was going to perform. Gah, I knew it would be hilarious XDDD He w
The first party I had was the Botanical Christmas for 115. I won't go into the details anymore, but I'm so happy that my fruit salad, as Sofie said, was "yummy" :D IB Christmas party was two days after. As usual, the juniors made another really embarrassing presentation, but I guess we already lost all diginity during the BMD so there was nothing to lose -__- Saw Sir Dino and talked to him about Follies. I swear, iba na ang tingin ko kay Sir XDD He also played that modified trip to Jerusalem and gave Ma'am Pocsi a kiss XDDD >3< how cute!
Block left a bit earlier ahuhu didn't get to see Sir H to go to Sarah's house for the block Christmas party. Along the way, we had to pick Lara up in Tiendesitas. By who knows how, James decided to have a cooking competition using the three fresh chickens that Niall brought. We stopped in SM Pasig and bought whatever we needed for our ~dish~. It was a really good opportunity to see different sides of people, especially Nick's who turned out to be a great cook o/ The boys played Wii, the girls took photos. We played Taboo, boys versus girls. I want to play that game again!!!!
Krizia and James prepared an awards ceremony. Kind of like the things that you did in high school? I ended up with the Korean Pop Queen Award... I should really get rid of that image >< Exchange gifts were epic too :3 THANK YOU KARINA. I LOVE THE BOOK <3 <3<3<3<3 I've been wanting to buy Sophie Kinsella's Remember Me? since it came out more than a year ago and this year, I finally got it :D Too bad my parents didn't allow me to stay overnight (but maybe it was the right choice? the things they did afterwards... were kind of scary ><)
The last party of the year, for me, was the AME Christmas party :D The theme this year was GAMES. LOL, that theme was suggested out of the blue XD I was kind of surprised that it won against the favorite (which was music), but it's all well :3 I really wanted to have Internet as a theme, though XD Maybe next year XD The most unforgettable moment of the party, I have to credit Ramon. OMG. Thanks for the nightmares XD Got amazing bookmarks from JunC, btw, for exchange gifts :3 Thanks so much <3
Slept over at Reena's since I had to help clean up and check the people~ Had cheesecake for midnight snack XDD Mabenta ang ice cream, as usual.
A few days afterwards, demolition of the house began. After my grandfather passed away last April, there was far too much drama in this household. (It even came to a point where my father would tell me: "Shobe, inagatan mo yung bahay. Wag mong hahayaan na makuha to sayo.") My aunties wanted to sell the property, but my father wanted to just demolish the house and build a new one on top on the land. After all, land is really very difficult to get these days. -___- Right now, our kitchen and bathroom are roof-less XDDD Life is still normal though. kind of getting used to it. Although, I think we'll be moving in a week?
Christmas was spent at home, rather uneventfully. We went to Tagaytay on the 26th and was back in Manila on the 27th. Went back on the 29th to stay until the 1st of January. We stayed in a total of three hotels during those trips. I enjoyed the second trip more since I was closer to the people who went with us, but the first trip wasn't that bad :D Oh, I slept through the new year again XDD

January. The only feeling I have this month is stress. >< I am way too stressed! Too many exams! Too many requirements! AAAAAAAAHHHHH
Went to the mall with
ancella ,
dmadz7 , and Ara last Saturday. I was there on time :3 Before Madz arrived, the three of us went up to the SkyGarden to look for someplace to eat. We saw this Persian resto and kind of decided to eat there. After seeing the menu, we left XD That was the first time I ever did that XDDDD Spent 5 or six hours in Pancake House, where we finally decided to have lunch, just talking about random things >< LOL, the waiter was kind of staring at us already XD and they've changed shifts while we were there XDDD Moved to Green Mango afterwards for "dessert" XD
January. On the 24th, my sister's family will be returning from NZ. AFAIK, they'll be staying here for good. Brother-in-law doesn't seem to be very fond of that place ^^:

Break the Records DVD was released last December 16! I planned to not DL it until subs are out, but the shiny was too tempting and I ended up watching it anyways xD ZOMG, I used to say that QoP was the best KT concert, but NO. BtR. OMG. The visuals were stunning! And Kame's solo. I am speechless. The fireworks, the flying, the costume! The water thing was kind of retarded, but he did such a great job :Db SADISTIC LOVE performance was yummy XD Kameda blending = best thing ever! The thing I like most about this con is that there's more member-ai than in other cons :3 Akame are finally having interactions, for one :3 And Maru is growing more and more adorable!
How I wish I could attend their con~~~
KAT-TUN was the guest for SMAPxSMAP's new year's special. The boys were adorable! It were as if they were back to being Juniors~ really, they were too cute! For a few moments then, I really disliked SMAP. But I guess, it's Nakai. I should get used to him. After all, he's the grumpy dude who want Kame out of the scene so he can be the only baseball figure in JE DX
KT Adult Rules 3. I wonder why Kame is always paired with someone weird? XD RealFace tapdance was osm. I want to learn it! UedaUeda! I want to see it! But part 2 is damaged >< Koki vs. Koki was hilarious xD and Maru the fanboy meets Choi Ji Woo while cosplaying as Bae YongJoon XD LOL.
Kame is having a new drama for an old manga favorite of mine. Actually one of the first manga I read, Kame will be playing Kyouhei in Yamato Nadeshiko Shichihenge. I am still baffled with why Kame was casted as Kyouhei especially since Kame is way too short for the role. Also, Kyouhei? Kame? Too far apart! But then again, I'll just wait and see how he performs :3
On another note, someone actually "stole" my Kame icon D: I'm not a pro icon maker, nor do the icons I make look really pretty. They're so obviously created by a beginner, but she actually took interest. I am thankful for that. Messaged her 4 weeks ago but she didn't reply so I messaged her again with a bit more force than needed. Finally got her attention and my credit :3

BEAST - I didn't think I would actually be a fan of the rookies, but BEAST is really good! And watching their docu will help you love them more :3 Yoseobie is so adorkable! Although more than half of the members have debuted or almost debuted, I think that it's the loss of their original group and BEAST's gain o/

T-ARA - I did like them when they debuted, but I love them now :3
