Today is Wednesday... What happened today... Ah, yes! AP - The long test is now tomorrow and was not today! Mr. Sebastian (Araling Panlipunan I) even said that he'll give a little lecture before the test commences.

Computer. FREE TIME!!! Mr. Cosico (Computer I, and II, I believe) let us do anything - Unless our activity was against the school law, of course. I remember finding a good mp3 on Computer#33. So I went there, and opened winamp. I saw a playlist with Vertical Horizon - You're A God. I played it. Darn, did I miss that song! I was supposed to blog there, but the Internet wasn't responding positively. So I just roamed around, finding a computer with good mp3s, and an active Internet. I was unable to do so, so I went back to 33 - And saw Jans (Andres) dominating the computer. I discovered something! You can use your login name on any computer belonging to the network! I saw him accessed 1sra03. (1 as the Year, sra as the section, 03 as the class number.) You know what he was playing? Math Buster. A set of games involving math. And Joseph (Timbol. Honored president of the class) was playing the same game. But come to think of it... it seemed fun just watching it. :)

Fortunately, I was able to submit the research to sir, even when he was missing it the Computer Lab for some time.

Science. Our project is some researching. (yeah, I know. A lot of research projects) The groups were a couple - And I was paired with Ryan (Tizon). OUr topic was about Jupiter. When the time left for the Science period was 15 minutes, Ms. Pascual decided that we use it for the pair to meet and discuss the project. We were able to formulate the questions. (the Research Proper is on a Question-Answer basis)

Maths. The lesson was about Monomials. Fortunately, it was taken up back in Grade Seven. (Thank you, MR. LI!!!) Since I was already familiar with it, I got a perfect 12 in the activity.

Wow, Rico! You're kicking butt! Keep your foot sharp! A little pat in the back from myself to myself.

T.H.E. I was able to create the 3 designs that Mr. Hipolito (Practical Arts I, T.H.E. 1) asked us to do (And in the nick of Time!). Actually, I started one already back in Lunch time. Also, in dismissal, I ran towards the THE Room, to find sir missing. We (EZ Aquino, Mikko "Khaz" Abat and another student that I didn't know)just wrote a note asking that he accept our projects. For the Filipino essay, I asked Sir Joseph "Sirjo" (Lasiste) that he submit the paper for me.

Again, we went home by taxi. Dom went down to Katipunan for a haircut. So I was left. When I arrived home, the toll was "57.00". The driver said that I'll give him P70 for returning to where we came from. What?! The nerve! Fortunately, I just had 60. Keep the change, creepo!

At home, I was finding the Kings (C.L.E. group research) that was assigned for me. Fortunately, I was able to find those. After that, I searched for Vertical Horizon - You're A God. It was irresistible! I was unable to find it, and instead, searched at my KaZaA Lite for it. It really is good!

After that, I continued to the journey for 20 designs for THE. I was able to create seven. All-in-all, I've made 9 designs. Good. I should increase the speed. 'Cause thinking of what to draw takes time too. Also, I was able to print that thing that Lem (Buitre. The most handsome man on the planet! Watch out for his wink! HAHAHAHA!!!) wanted me to print, and the C.L.E. research. Good thing the printer cooperated, even for just a while.

Dinner had passed, I went on another "operation". You know. The operation wherein I'd have to use the pliers in order to remove the sharp edges sticking out of the molar bracket. It was succesful again! And in a short period of time! Good. A little orthowax, and... purrrfect...

We had a lot of reply slips today. Three of them. 1. For the Practical Arts materials for the 4th quarter. 2. For the Family day on Febuary 8. 3. For the raffle ticket. All of them needed cash. (In its respective order) 150, 200, 400.

Wow! Danish! I forgot that I have it in my room. I opened it, and called Enzo's attention. (He was using the net via my computer 'cause his monitor was dead) As he looked at the metallic container of oh-so-goody Cookies, he suddenly became ecstasic (spelling?), as he grabbed for one. You know, I even saw an entry on his livejournal that stated "WOW!!! BUTTER COOKIES!!! AAAAAAHHHHHH". Heheh. He really loves it.

Never again... no...... No, never again........ 'Cause you're a God and I am not and I just thought that you would know... You're a God and I am not and I just thought I'd let you go...

-Rico, singing Vertical Horizon's You're A God

I've just surfed the net again - For the Megaman site and for Megaman 6 Midis. Most, I loved! I'm planning to use it on the site.

Ah, school again... It seemed to me that it was a good day today. But the start was definitely a wake-up on the wrong side of the bed - Nny was sick and was unable to bring us to school. Instead, Tty offered that he'll do the task.

At school, I guess things went smoothly. English, we had free time because according to Ms. Regalado, she was still computing grades. Science... Ah, I got 15/100 for the notebook (and without notebook grade!) assignments and seatworks. I felt ashamed that I asked Migs to give the 1/4 paper to Ms. Pascual (we're not related, for your information). Fortunately, I had my notebook for ths quarter. (And I'm even done with my first homework!: Astronomy) AP, we had a discussion about the "State" and some samples. Then he announced a long test... Ten-den-den-deeennn... Ten-den-den-deeennn... Heheh. Nah. That won't be and obstacle. I won't let it to be one!

Filipino. Most people were cramming for the Comics. (oh, by the way, I didn't tell you that the deadline was moved from Monday to this day) The night before, I was done coloring. All that was left was for Spikey (Ibrahim) to compile what his group had done. For THE, we were discussing about the glass etching (deadline of 20 designs is on FRIDAY!!!). Also, Mr. Hipoloto (Practical Arts I, THE I) said that the deadline fot the shirt is moved tomorrow. Thank you, sir! Thank you!

After dismissal, I just remembered that I had to take a make-up test for Maths! Good thing some of my classmates were talking about it, or else I would have left school without doing it! I finished it at exactly 1600. Actually, Mr. Liwag (Maths I) had to go at that time. In the last second, I was able to finish it. (with a little help from begging for a few seconds. :) )

I felt relieved to find Dom after taking that test. I thought he left already. The fee for taxi from Claret-Our home is P61.

At home, there was Pizza. (Magoos', to be exact) Why is there pizza? Is there a celebration? There was no reason to celebrate. Nny's sick. Are we supposed to be happy because of that? Ah, maybe she just wanted to treat herself and us.

I immediately finished Science. (oh, I just said that a while ago) Soon, I took down Filipino's essay. You know, there was another miracle. The printer worked again! I finally printed my Computer Homework! And Dom also printed his set of documents. I left it open 'cause I'll still be printing for Alec's parts of his computer homework.

Oh, yeah, while researching for the Astronomy stuff, I found on the encyclopedia a picture of the Horsehead nebula. It was sooo cool... I searched the net for a good picture of it, with a wallpaper size. I FOUND ONE!!! Actually, it was bigger than the wallpaper size.

By the way, last night (I was unable to post this), I was trying Tag-Board. I never thought it was similar to IRC! (well, if you asked me) I tried it. (there was a free trial for Tag-Boarding, and everyone's invited, as long as you are willing to follow their laws.) I was also talking to some people there. The ones that I remember are Emma, Jenny, Craig... Today, I visited Tag-Board (unintentionally) and saw Jenny again! I better find her site and store it in my notepad file. So when I open the Links page, her site would be available for access.

Wipe them out!

-Bang! Gunship Elite (opposong force)

Next target to take down: AP LONG TEST!!!

Oh, before I finish this, I wore my jacket again. The cryo chambers open in the morning. Its frost powers are too unbearable. Heheh. I felt like a jerk again. Wearing a jacket, when the weather's actually warm. I even heard a student uknown to me that commented "nag-jajacket, ang init-init". It was Mrs. Ramos (Filipino I) who took the most attention to it. Before starting her class, she requested that I remove my jacket. But ma'am, the weather's cold... :) She even asked if I was sick or something. Hehehehe! Tomorrow, I'm gonna bring it again!

Wait a minute... this is final. The light on the ceiling of my room is flickering. Ever since, I was using my two lamps (one at the study table, one at the night table) as The Suns of this Earth.

Just surfed Vig's Site and saw a test. Here's my results...

What Self-Mutilation Are You?

WHAT???!!! I'M NORMAL???!!! THIS IS AN OUTRAGE!!! Wait a minute... "you're going to go crazy soon..."

Ahhh...... Much better...

-Duke Nukem

I woke up rather early today. I know, it was good. But when I came to school... Like always, tension rises. First, it was the Computer homework. Good thing Mr. Cosico was so merciful that he allowed the late homework to be sumbmitted on Wednesday.

Wait a minute... Your Computer homework is late? How can your grades reach to a point of similarity compared to what Bobbie has if you're too lousy to even submit your requirements on time?

What a self-scolding! What a riot! That oughta teach me for trying to achieve a goal without trying!

And there's more: I got 80% on th English Periodic Exam. Then, my card grade for Math decreased by...

8 POINTS!!!

I know, it's definitely something not to be proud of. But I'm just admitting that I'm lousy.

We (class officers from 1st to 2nd year) were called by a certain executive board to tell us something...

With all due respect to the vow that we would not tell ANYONE especially the teachers (of course, that excludes Ms. Abancia, since it was her that lead us to the conference. :) ), I will not speak, even if you have no cantact with the mentioned above.

I went to the IHMP (Imaculate Heart of Mary Parish) as usual, to wait for the bus. John (Almario) wasn't there, and so is everyone else, and the bus itself. I decided to roam around for them. I found out that John's class had their intrams today. So I hunted him in the gym. Yup. There he is, And so is David (Tocayao). I looked at the score: 127 - 14!!! What happened to I-SJB?! (Saint John The Baptist)

After their game, Me and John went to his classroom. I was waiting for him to change clothes. There were still students. They were sending their early Valentines' Day cards - all filled with teases, insults, curses and names. Jeff (Apolinar) even showed me an notebook page sheet filled with the supposed teases from most of the people from class ('cause some of them would give respect instead of its counterpart). I saw Vince'. (Remember, It's Foz, not Peña) Wow! Killer smile! Hahahaha!

Then, we followed Dave (yeah, it's David) 'cause they doubt that there will be an existing bus to fetch us. As usual, they dropped me close to Shoppersville. But this time, I didn't have the time to buy stuff. I went straight home.

Uh-oh... trouble again. With what? With the molar bracket. Personally, I'm sick of it. Anyway, so I shortened it some more. The result: Very minimal difference, and the edges became sharper. I was prone to giving off a cup of blood for every spit. I pressed the panic button, and the emergency button. I took orthowax, and applied it to the thorns. You know... WHY DIDN'T I THINK OF THAT EARLIER???!!! Even if it was only temporary, I could always apply again... So I was ajdusting the "chip" for my tongue to avoid the sharpness. Unfortunately, it was my finger that needed to avoid it. My pointing finger got scratches. I strapped it with band aid. (after applying medicinal treatment, of course)

Stacy called. It was for Enzo... Thirty minutes later, Enzo knocked my door... he handed the phone and was for me... I said to myself "Si Stacy 'to." Yup. It was her.

On our phone conversation, I discovered something... It was rather crucial...

Again, with all due respect to the secrecy of Stacy and Criselda, and to the vow I made to Stacy that I will not tell it to anyone else, I will not speak about it.

You know... Ira called. She asked me if I knew someone with a surname Tuazon. It was familiar... I told her that I'll confirm it tomorrow. I also made another discovery. Kyle was commenting that she keeps bugging him. But she said that it was him that was the bug. Is he hiding something? Maybe not.

While fixing things, I saw something inside my mini bag: "Amoxan" (or something like that) It was the medicine for oral wounds! I immediately used it. Of course, it wasn't a miraculous medicine. It was a frustracious one.

Carla texted again. She said that another stranger texted her. Martin. Darn, is she in demand or what? (probably "what". :) )

Oh, by the way, back in the Computer period, we were discussing about some smileys and the emotion being showed. Miguel (Mendez) gave a sample: ='( or :'(

It was cool! 'Cause it was so realistic... good thing there's a less chance of me using it these days. Maybe I could use =') or :').

Carla texted me. Wow, she has credits again! Anyway, she said that Nick is a player. He found someone who they were M.U. with each other. I told her "Because you never 'answered' him." Okeyyy... new text conversation... She said that she hopes that he remembers her birthday. Suddenly, I greeted her...

ADVANCED HAPPY BIRTHDAY, CARLA!!!

She replied "Thanks, dear! Gracias..." blah blah blah blah... I replied "'Welcome, honey. :) " She was outraged. "OMG! Don't say that! Honey yung pangalan ng ka-MU niya! Pangit, ano? Mas maganda pa rin yung Carla. Heheh. :) " She's jealous. Hahahaha! What a conclusion!

I was calling people to ask of the homeworks. Honestly, I was finding people who also were unable to do/finish their comics for Filipino. So I called Lem and Migs. Bith of their phones were busy. I called Mark. Yup, he answered it.

He told me that they were almost done with it.

THEY???!!

I made things clear. I made him repeat what he said. They. Yup. I asked why it was in the plural form. He said "Kasi nga, group project, diba?" Oh, God! I forgot that it was a group project! (I also forgot about the Computer homework!) And I'm taking a solo flight?! He said that it was ok, in case that they didn't have it. Darn it! No way I'm gonna share the grades with them! I'm sick of being a slave to a class grouping! (flashbacks in the Investigatory Project...)

1700 hrs. I ate hamburger. After doing so, I felt the pain, for the third time. I was thinking that the reason behind these are the food particles stuck between the brackets, bonds, etc. So I decided to brush my teeth, especially the lower-right part. since it was the part that ached the most. While doing so, I saw blood on my toothbrush. I looked ad the mirror, with my mouth wide open, and saw that the gums on the same area were bleeding. I took a flashlight and saw why it was shedding blood: The molar bond was attached on the gum itself, and not on the tooth.

I decided to take action.

DO NOT TRY THIS!!! I RISKED MY OWN LIFE JUST FOR THIS!!!

Now, this is the weird part. First, I used a needle to take the rubber chain out of its link. Then, I removed the molar bond "strap" out of its position. Next, I used pliers to cut the strap out. (I took two pliers) While the operation was being done, I could hear my breaths. It was irregular. Not by its pattern, but by the way I breathe. I was also spitting. My saliva turned to a translucent red. It was probably the most amount of blood I lost from my mouth in my entire life. The result: Now, my tongue's at risk of being injured. The whole strap wasn't removed. The parts of it remaining are folded. But it has less chance, compared to the molar bond issue on my gums.

I could still see the wound. But it didn't flow much blood.

I took painkillers again. This is the last time I'll take that for the day. Or maybe also for tomorrow. I hope it wasn't much of an overdose. To help ease the pain, I might just not eat.

How can I finish my comics in this way?

I texted Vig about it. Currently, we're talking about my death and how people would not think that I'm dead. I said that I might die ala Rico Yan. She said "Mag artista ka muna!" I replied "Rico Pascual! Hybrid ni Rico Yan at Piolo Pascual!" She replied "Wag mo 'kong kalimutan kapag popular ka na ha? Ay, oo nga pala... mamamatay ka na no'n..." And the conversation continues. Hahahaha!

After lunch, the pain in my teeth are starting to bother me. I asked Nny for painkillers. It was the first time I used such anasthetics for the reason that I can't seem to bear it.

Still listening to Card Captor Sakura - Catch You Catch Me. Still good.

Someone texted me. It was an uknown number. It was rather easy for me to identify her as Vigile. Yup. She has a cellphone again.

Merienda. Damn. It came back. I shouldn't take painkillers. I fear an overdose.

I've just downloaded Card Captor Sakura - Catch You Catch Me. I overheard it back in Kyle's place while he was playing his music. It has a joyful tune, yet most of the lyrics talks about the singer being in love. Darn. It's sooo gooooood... Oh, by the way, I downloaded lyrics too, along with its English translation, that's why I was able to conclude the main theme.

KO - I - SHI - TE - RU!!!

-Card Captor Sakura - Catch You Catch Me

Today, I was supposed to start making the comics for the Ibong Adarna What I was able to create was a format of how the characters should look like. But I started a little.

1530 hrs. We went to the mall for multiple reasons: One, for the wires of my braces to be replaced by new ones. (Finally! After more than two months! I chose red as the color of the rubber 'cause it's close to Valentine's Day. :) ) Two, for my necklace to be repaired. (the Cross was detached from the "chain") Three, for Enzo's Americana (spelling?) Yeah, it's for the prom. TO THE PEOPLE WHO ARE CONCERNED: I'M NOT GOING TO THE PROM. WHY? SIG WON'T. AND SELDA DUMPED ME. HAHAHAHA!!! HERE WE GO AGAIN!!! Three, for Dom's cellphone.

Oh, yeah, I left my glasses. I was rather insecure. It's one of my security blankets. :)

After my dentist appointment, we ate at The Pancake House. I'll tell you some things. First, do you know that plastic straw wrapper? Tty airated it, then rolled it on his finger. The result: A LOUD pop. He even pointed me as the "culprit". Hahahaha! Of course, he was sarcastic. Second, I saw this girl. She's real' pretty. Too bad she had a guy accompanying him. :) Hehehehe!

Unable to find a good and reasonably-priced cellphone, (He wanted a 6510... wait a minute... was it 6510?) we decided to go to the Megamall. We got a 3350 for Dom. After buying that, He and Enzo went to the Arcade. I decided to stay with Tty and Nny. We roamed around and Nny showed us the galleries. Man, the paintings were sooo beautiful... Especially the sceneries... the garden-like scenery... She told me that I could make paintings if I'd just had the tools and materials. Could be.

Oh, yeah, we also went to a computer shop. (inside the Megamall, of course) I was looking around. Then Tty came. While he, too, was looking around, I was following him. Then, he said "Ayan, may CD writer. Gusto mo ng CD writer?" I replied "Okey lang". Then he explained the cost of those CD writers, both internal and external. He also said that he'd buy (might be buying) one for each of our computers. I asked "Hindi ba pwede kung isa lang?" He replied "Kung gano'n e kailangan buhayin ulit yung LAN." Those words were strong. Buhayin ulit yung LAN. (Revive the LAN.) Anyway, I hope he will buy us CD writers. I really want most of my mp3s to be burned.

Back at home, I was drawing the comics again. And now, I am back with the comics.

Oh, wow! OH, WOW!!!

I HAVE A VISITOR WHO SIGNED MY GUESTBOOK!!!

And he/she's not just your ordinary visitor who passes by. SHE'S BOBBIE!!! And she's the first one to sign in my guestbook!

This time, I gotta ask Anjo in assistance to CEEELEBRATE GOOD TIMES, COME ON!!!

Yes! It's Bomfunk MC's - Freestyler on the MP3 player! I'm gonna DANCE!!! *dances*

(pant, pant, pant, pant) Okey, party's over. :)

THANK YOU BOBBIE!!! THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOUUUU!!! Ü :)

So back in the dicussion back in Kyle's house. I played MMX5 and a little of MMX6. You know, at the firsts round of MMX5, I concluded that I have forgotten how to play it.

Back at home, while eating dinner, I confessed this issue to Nny. We discussed this (obviously), then Enzo came to the dinning room, and became part of the discussion. With his help, he concluded of one reason: I was acting cool. Proof: those things back in the MCHS fair. According to Mia, Stacy and Sig, I was "feeling cool". Honestly, I had cases wherein I ask some of my fellow Claretians the same case. But their response was "Undetermined.". Still, I think the text that the girl sent me that... It seems rather exaggerated...

2200 hrs. I was talking to Mia via phone. (even while typing, I'm currently talking to her) We were were supposed to talk, but I guess... like what I saw something before, "to talk" is just simply "to talk". She was making such conclutions as to why I won't go, like because I was hurt when Selda "dumped" me. Hahahaha! What a riot! She also sent me what Mark sent her. A whole text page composed of i's, l's exclamation points and a quotation mark to form the hidden message "MIA". I was surprised myself to see such a cool text. I even saved it in my inbox.

Aw, conversation ended already? 0015 hrs

The seminar was quite nice. I took down some notes about leadership. Problem is that I didn't see too much of the Social Graces part. I mean, I didn't quite understand its relation with the subject itself.

I'm currently at Kyle's house. Obviously, I typed this at his house.

WHAAAT???!!!

I just surffed Bobbie's blog. She's going skinhead! I mean... she's gonna cut her hair until it's no more! Wow...I never thought a girl would go to such an idea. And I cannot imagine an image of her once she has obtained this haircut. And she's going to the AHS fair this Feb 1? (no wonder she can't come to EK...)

I'm laughing again... I don't know why... maybe because of what I've just read in her blog...

But come to think of it... it does sound pretty cool. :) I mean, you're a girl, and you wanna be bald. It won't be much of a surprise if you're a guy, right?

Please be advised that this blog is supposed to be for January 23, 2003. Thank you.

-Death 20370640

Oh, yeah. Yesterday, before I slept, I texted Mia, saying that I won't go to EK. She asked why. I said "Don't ask" She replied "I just did." (You know, I felt pretty ironic myself, telling her not to ask why when she already did. :) ) Anyway, she told me "Il col u ok? We nid 2 tlk..." She also said she'll call between 1900 and 2000 hrs. I was assuming that we'll discuss the reason why I wouldn't go...

I remember the last time we were talking on the phone, she said that she'll pester me to join if my decision is still on "not to go". She'll hunt me down on our house. Good thing I'm rather prepared. A chair of mine could barricade the door, disabling them to enter, if they were playin' serious.

Ah, finally! The last day of treachery! You know, it was surprising that I was done with the Filipino exams after 25 minutes. Usually, It would take the whole hour for me to finish it. Sometimes, I'm not done yet at the span of time.

I slept from 1200 hrs. At 1600 hrs., my brothers knocked the door rather hardly to tell me that there's a phone call for me. (not knowing that I was sleeping) I was unable to go back to the world of fantasy, so I remained awake. I just played Red Alert 1. (This time, the music tracks were set to "shuffle".)

1700 hrs. I went to Mik's house. He was playing Megaman Xtreme via Gameboy Advanced Emulator. I noticed that the game was cool too. He was also making a website. According to him, the Markup Tags that he only knew were the HTML and IMG SRC tags. Oh well. Couldn't blame him. Besides, I only knew the Tags this year, and he's a year youger than me.

He also had this file ("game", should I say) that you'll input the Filipino translation of words that are given. All in all, we only managed to translate 44 words out of 100. We're both weak in the language.

Nny told me that Tty called Tito Arnel and Tito Arnel said that the service will come back on Monday. What a relieve...

No phone call came from Mia.

Stacy called. She was supposed to talk to Enzo, but since he was in Murphy's walk, she decided that she'll just talk to me. I told her about my plan to barricade the door. Then she asked "But what if you needed to go to the bathroom? You're locked out and can't leave the room!" Uh-oh... problem... :) Oh, man, I'm dead. She also said that the possoble reasons why Mia didn't call is because she's too busy with homework or she's asleep. Then, Mia texted - and explained it all. Her mom hogged the phone. She'll just call tomorrow.

I'm currently playing Megaman 6 - Credits. Yeah, the one that I just recorded. It gives off a memory of this certain girl that I do not know. It was that period of time that I heard that music again. Also, the Tomahawk Man and the Wind Man.

Oh, by the way, did you know what I discovered? It seems that I put too much blog in my blog. Compared to Vig' and Bobbie's, theirs it short and they don't blog too often. Even compared to Enzo's Livejournal account, he doesn't write as many as I do. I was thinking that I should've applied to Livejournal, but I guess I'm too late. I also noticed that Vig uses + + + as... separators, I guess. And Bobbie's case, I think it's ***. Oh well. They don't care about my blog anyway. They probably even don't know that I have one.

You know, it's nice to talk to yourself. Especially when the wall has no mood to reply to what you're saying.

Seems to me that I'm not writing to Alethea these days. Is it because it came from this girl that I don't know?

End of the line! For Jan. 23, that is.

I've just finished Red Alert. This is the first time I've succeded till the end. Next up is the Soviets. Problem is I don't have its CD...

Lastly. Another thing that I've noticed. The weather is trying to kill me! Taking a bath seems like I was sentenced to death. And while I sleep, I use two blankets even with the electric fan turned off.

I was expecting some time that she'd say sorry because of those words that give of the emotion of the desire for me to be non-existent. I slept from 1200 till 1600 hrs. I checked my cellphone, and only saw that Kyle was the one who texted.

After a while, her original identity returned to my mind. Knowing who she is and what he did, I texted her. My message was "You owe me an apology". Her reply?

"I do? Im sory den."

It sounded like a forced entry and seemed to contain a little dose of sarcasm. She doesn't seem to be aware of what she did and what she's done.

Your words in the past were lies. Your words in the present, when written, are in the Roman font style. Letters filled with serifs and fillets. All of those are blades attached to such characters. The razors are sharp enough that you could take down people. As these words pass through one's ears, the blades cut the inner ear, making it bleed and uncapable of hearing. When it arrives in the mind, I would scream of the unbearable pain. My scream becomes louder for I cannot hear a child's cry under a bottomless pit.

Just when I had the mood to study, you would crown my mind with a halo of thorns.

I have Roman font style words for you too. Curse you, Sig.

Now that these have happened, I close the door to this girl's identity. And I'm definitely not going to EK. Mark could take my place. :) <sigh>

As for the rest of the day's report, Ace texted me again. He apologized for not replying last night. He also said that the reason why the idea of joining a fraternity popped out in his mind is that his friends wanted to. Honestly, I don't think it's a practical reason. If your friends pull you towards the darkness, let go. You wouldn't want yourself to be missing beneath those labyrinths.

I'm beggining to see Ace's dark side.

No ID, no entry.

I just texted Sig the text that was similar to what I texted Mia once I arrived home. ("Yes! It's 10 o'clock and I'm already home free! :) ")

Do you know what her reply was?

"Die."

What.........?! I was startled when I saw it. I looked at the mesage again. It was clear and frank. Die. I checked the number. Yup. It was her. No doubt. (I've memorized her number) Of all the things she said... She'd want me to die? I thought she'd kill herself once I was gone from her world...? It was definitely a stab with a knife straight to the heart.

What's happening? Why'd she give me words of such agony containing in it? Did my text gave away her cellphone's espionage? Did I interrupt an important conversation or something? Did I frustrate her because of the fact that she's still in school? Did I make a false move back in the past?

Those words... It didn't belong to Sig... No... She isn't Sig... She's someone I don't know. Yeah, you. The girl that wants me 6 feet under the ground. I don't know who you are.

I leave her with her offensive forces intact and is targeted on my humanity. I've lost all my defenses, and is relying on miraculous rejuvinations. God, save me...

I end this for the while, yet without giving today's complete report.

I just decided that I let Migs do the operation.

Timezone check...

Okey, timezone is confirmed. Here we go!

Today (I mean... yesterday) was the first day of exams. Seems that I had trouble with Math. Maybe because I was still 'traumatized' back in those periods of the lessons. Since Mr. Liwag (Maths I teacher) gives a lot of freedom, I allowed my mind to drift over The Three Molecules of Carbon instead of what he was talking about. After exams, I went to Snack Bar to eat. Ah, good ol' tapsilog... It's been... maybe 2 months since I last ate there. I went home 'via commute'.

Now, why did I commute? I'll tell you.

Monday- John and Janno told me that Ding Dong was unable to fetch that day. He was out. It left us no choice but to commute that day.

Tuesday- John now told me that Ding Dong (bus driver) resigned! Of all the things that he'd do... at a time like this?

Anyway, I arrived in UP. I saw again the Sunken Garden. I gave a thought. Why not stay ther for a while? Just to relax, or sightseeing? I even thought of writing to Alethea while I was there. Unfortunately, my stomach said 'no'. So I went ahead to Katipunan, then to La Vista.

As always, I 'dreamed' of seeing at least someone from the Calachuchi Clan. You know, at the windows, maybe someone is peeking... I decided to walk straight home. On the way, a driver of van called my attention. As I approached him, I saw a second head. And it belonged to... Ding Dong! He offered me a ride. I couldn't resist it. Maybe because I wanted to clear things out. So I asked him what happened.

He said that there was no replacement for the bus (it needed repairs) and Tito Arnel did not pay much attention to it. So he decided to resign... Anyway, they dropped me at the second to the last intersection that we would pass everytime they'd drop us. (me and Dominic)

I slept and woke up at 4:00. "1 message recieved", said my cellphone. Mia texted. She asked if I know someone named Mark. Hehehehe! Obviously, I had no choice but to tell her. According to her, Mark is sweet. Hehehehe! And she already set up her defenses when I texted her "hehehehe!" Hahahaha! She even said that she already has a boyfriend!

Woah there, horsie! Mia already has a boyfriend? Not that I'm in denial, but... was she serious? Or did she just want me not to think of things like "Mark likes Mia". :)

(TO MIA: I confess: I already knew since Sunday the fact that Mark texts you. Sorry!)

Soon, I called her. Seems like the normal conversation between me and my other friends, except that I was clearing out things about our trip to EK.

I remember... we asked Vince (no, not Sig' brother... instead, my batchmate and friend) "Would you like to join us to EK?" He replied "Anong EK? Baka sabihin mo, UK!" He didn't know the abreviation EK as Enchanted Kingdom. Instead, he concluded that we were goung to the United Kingdom! Man... He's so rich that he thinks that going to EK is not appropriate for his standards and instead, desires to go to another country... Hahahaha! :)

After dinner, I told Nny about the bus situation. Seeing that we already paid the bus service for the rest of the schoolyear, Tito Arnel owed us the Feb-March payments. (Estimation is P4000) But she decided that they keep it, since we thought that maintaining the service is hard.

You know... I'm thinking that they're not the ones who had a loan. I'm thinking that it's we that owe them. Money? Maybe. But one thing's for sure that we owe them: Gratitude. I remember back in the early (when I say early, I mean early) days of the bus, there were some days that the Miraflors would treat me to fastfood restaurants. Not only that, they really took good care of us... no, not us... ME. As if I was a part of their family. Nny told me of that: Thus giving me a flashback. (no, I won't tell you about the flashback)

These may sound simple, but I have a question: Did we pay them to give so much hospitality? Did we pay them to treat me to places? Surely, they deserved a lot more than what we give them.

Oh, dear, it's 0200 hrs. I must commence OPERATION PRINTING PRESS!!!

Tita Angel... Tito Arnel... Janno... Kuya Wee... Kuya Jat... Ramil... Gabo... Bong... Ate Emily... Tita Linor... Ding Dong... Jordan... and the others whom I was unable to mention... May God bless your Hearts. Thank you, Lord. Thank you, all...

-Rico

You know what? I recieved a message! But it can be just any message... Mik texted me... no, wait... it says "carla here." Wow! Carla texted me! AWLRAYT!!! YEAHHHOOO!!!

CEEEEEELEBRATE GOOD TIMES, COME ON!!!

-As Anjo would say...

I mean, I'm already not capable of texting them, and yet they still cared to text. Besides, I think it was about a week before the last time I recieved a message besides that. So she said "You know, I found a compound that is similar to the structure of Three Molecules of Carbon! Lalang. Sharing."

Hmmm... a compound that is similar to the structure of Three Molecules of Carbon, eh? Wait... I have a picture of a compound similar to it (the Carbon) posted on my wall. Maybe it was this that she was talking about... I'd confirm that the next time we meet.

I'm playing Red Alert again... See my base? Wait a minute... What're those red dots on th radar...? Eeek! The enemy...! What? My tanks are gone?! And my ships are sinking! My planes are turnin' to kamikaze planes! My infantry is wiped out! And my building defenses are crumbling! They're opening fire to my base!

AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!

We've got only one solution to fight back to these friggin' reds! NUKE IT!!! *quits the game*

KABLAAAM!!!

Okey, so there was no explosion. But one thing's for sure: The greens are no more... and so am I. :)

I bought some credits from Nny, then texted the peoples. And only Mia replied... how sweet... I guess she knows the solitude you'll get for having no credits, and doesn't want her friends to feel the pain.

One piece of advice: Listen to Zak's Hyperspace remix. Find it in PONAF! Zak's real good. Hyperspace is supposed to be a sort inspirational music. He turned it into a depressing one.

Ah! There it is!

-Chrono Miner. Reporing for duty!

No wonder Bobbie's site seems to be missing... There's this little "archive" link, and sent me to a blog that its lates post was Wednesday, January 15, 2003. Ah, now that problem's solved, I like her again. :)

She says that she sucks at webdesign. Heheh. Hehehehe... Hehehehe! Hahahaha! HAHAHAHA!!! HAAAHAHAHA!!! Heheh. Of all the conclusions she could come up, popped out such an... ironic answer...

My feet are freezing... my ears are numb... my breaths are deep... The sky is dark... The atmosphere is covered in a gigantic cryo chamber... The time is... 10 minutes before 0500 hrs.

Wow...

I'm gonna die early. I'm thin... no, not thin... malnorished... I lack sleep, I'm almost always feeling down, I'm pessimistic, I got hit by a shrapnel in the head back in the WWII... Okey, fine, that was an exaggeration, but one thing's for sure: I'm gonna die early.

See you in Heaven... wait a minute... was that Heaven or Hell?

I'm dead...

-Death 20370640

WHAT???!!!

BOBBIE'S LAST ENTRY IN HER BLOGGER WAS BACK IN MAY 31, 2002!!!

What happened to her site?! Did she move? Did she abbandon her site without informing her visitors about her new site?

Don't like her anymore. Ke Vig na lang ako. :) Joke! Pero sira naman display ng site niya. Vig kasi e. Masyadong komplikato siguro yung mga tags niya. Seems to me that she is more knowledged than the Navigator itself... Tsk tsk... Such a bright child... :)

I was searching for my guestbook previously. Now, I have NO idea yet as to how to edit the settings. Here we go again!

If you can't see what you're supposed to be reading, you need a pair of trusty old glasses. There are advantages too. No one will see the tears when you cry.

-Aell Azuki.

Damn. I should have brought it to school last Thursday...

Stacy called sometime between 1800 and 1900 hrs.... She asked a couple of questions. One of them was a cliche (Eeek! Cliche's e has a grave accent! I need its escape sequence! Wait... I have it... but I'll use it later.) A cliche that really had lost its touch. What kind of touch? The touch that tickles the funny bone.

Anyway, she asked some questions. That was the cliche. And while talking to her, Limit told me that he'd leave for a while. So our talk went on, until its end arrived. She had to go somewhere. Before we terminated the transmission, she gave me one final question: "What should I do?'

"What should you do?"

It was one of the dreaded questions that people would give me. (The question that seemed to be my Ritual: "Ba't ang cute ni Tracy? :) (English Translation: "Why is Tracy cute?") I am not an ambassador, I am not a psychologist, I am not a psychiatrist (I'm the patient. :) ) nor am I God or any other problem solvers. I am a hunter who lot track of the footsteps of the deer I was supposed to take down. I mean, my life went to a similar situation and yet, I never solved it! So how can I even make bread if I don't have the materials for making it?

I was unable to fill the bottomless pit with water. (I'd be able to do that if I'd just use bottomless iced tea. :) ) Lacking the time, provided the 10 seconds to answer, she told me just to text her (via Limit's phone, since I don't have credits yet) my answer. Then, it all ended.

Whoops... Limit's not here, I forgot... After some time, she texted me "Rico i think Im gonna go 4 t.". The "4 t" part, my mind wasn't firm as to what it meant. Did she mean "for it"? Since Limit's out, and assuming that he's somewhere in Murphy's Walk, I thought that she was going to him. But that can't be... Gah! ...never mind.

Anyway, while going 'round the house, I saw something that I was looking for: THE RED ALERT 1 CD!!!

"Incredible!"

-Albert Einstein (the Red Alert Einstein, not that genius...)

Hwow! Red Alert 1! I played it as soon as possible. Ah, the music... Bigfoot... Crush, Radio 2... Roll Out... Fogger... Fogger never lost its solitary tune. And Bigfoot never lost its goodness.

"EEEts ze Aiyurn Curtn!"

-Yeah, that lab guy again...

I remember before, at the time that this game was still "in", I would play only Bigfoot... And until now, I am still able to do it. Gosh. It really brings back the memories of the good ol' days (ala Mark and Pupung) I played missions. Difficulty-Hard Side-Allies I never lost my talent of creating hordes of armies and large defenses, and the skill of overruning the opposing force's bases and sweeping them off the map. I'm currently on mission 7.

CURSE THIS!!! I SPENT HALF AN HOUR JUST TO TRACK DOWN THOSE STUPID MISTAKES OF MINE JUST FOR ME TO BE ABLE TO POST THIS!!!

HTML testing...

"Bah! Foiled again!"

I'm still editing the blog. And I'm getting warmer. See that light green and light blue? Yeah, I changed it.

So now it's already 1600 hrs. And this time, I'm really going back to my homework.

Then again... maybe I'll just eat first. :)

You know, something came into my mind. The name "Chahisnadyn" sounds rather cute. :)

Please be informed that the first blog was for testing the blog’s performance. Sorry for the inconvenience.

This morning, I was experimenting for that table Markup tag. I couldn’t place the background. And I’m having trouble on how to place text beside the table. As I surfed the net, (specifically, vpk579’s and Aell Azuki’s sites) I “viewed the sources” and traced down those important things, and then experimented on my own HTML files. It was only this afternoon that I managed to make a “background” in that table… showing that is is a table.

Whoo! Creating a webpage is tough. Those table markup Tags are frustrating me. Good thing I managed to sprout out what was important in those tags. But I still need more experimentation… And good thing my blogs aren’t bugging me anymore.

I wonder how Aell and vpk managed to live with such a tragedy… Through perseverance, of course. Hah. I don’t have that. Well, not much.

Gah. It’s past 1500 hours. I’ll return to my homework...
