“Ah, kaya pala…”

I did it!! I’ve finally delivered my speech in my English class and even I was amazed with my own performance. Seriously, I didn’t think it would go so well, I just thought that I would deliver my speech just to be done with it. I was very, very nervous (you could ask Akie, Michel and Rose Ann… I kept making funny faces and squeezing their heads just to steady my nerves). I was supposed to rehearse my speech one last time before I left my dorm, but my friends told me not to because I would get mental block when the moment to deliver it finally arrived. So I rushed to Snappy Copy to print my Finalized Outline and headed to the classroom. All of my classmates were already there and all the speakers for the day were already dressed, except for me. I changed inside the classroom because there’s no more time and fastened my suspenders, which I borrowed from my classmate. I was actually having second thoughts whether I would use it or not because my pants kept going up or it might snap out of its place. But being the blithe person that I am, I finally decided to use them. Michel and Akie kept pulling it, hurting me in the process. But its ok, I needed that to steady my nerves. Rose Ann (the perpetual timekeeper) told me I reminded her of Richard Gere because of my clothes and said it was very cute (Thank you ‘mi laydee and thank you for the wonderfully, sinful piece of chocolate cake you gave me the other day. I enjoyed each and every bite of it; my gratitude once again)


As the first speakers delivered their piece, I took my mind off my speech so as not to disturb the already perfectly structured words and paragraphs on my head. One of the things that I was worried about was that I have never tested my PowerPoint presentation on the laptop that was used. I just saw that my slides appeared when Albert copied it but I never tested if they would actually come out the way I made them on our computer. Luckily they did come out exactly the way I wanted them to appear. And the words just flowed like a tide to the shore. After my speech, I was deluged by praises from my evaluators and to tell you the truth, that was the first happy thing that ever happened to me this new year. I said to Michel before that I have never had a euphoric day yet this year; one wherein I am not myself and is just overtaken by happiness. Now I have one!! My very first!! Hehehe. Being praised really raises your confidence to greater heights especially if the people who praise you are people whom you look up to. I received very good evaluations from my evaluators (thanks guys.. oh and gays.. haahha). When the class was over, Albert and I checked our grades and guess what I got------ 95%!!!!!! WAHUUU!! Its like, the highest grade I ever got for anything! Hahaha. I told you euphoria kicked in. One of the things that I read in Ma’m Shimamoto’s comments was well-groomed. She said I was well-groomed!! Hahaha. When I finished reading her comments, I returned it to her with a very big smile on my face and she looked at my paper again and said, “Ah, kaya pala..” and she smiled back. *sigh*. A 95% grade, praises from the people I look up to, and a smile from Ma’m Shimamoto------------- take me to the USTH I have euphoria fever!!


P.S. I would like to give my sincerest apologies to my ever darling Fafa Albert for not being able to fix your tie. Believe me; I almost threw one of my shoes out the window fixing mine. =)

Alonefulment

One of the things I hate about weekends is that there is NOTHING and I mean NOTHING to do. I'm stuck here at my dorm doing nothing but point and click on anything that my browser decides to show my bloody eyes. Blah. I've been up since last night marathoning F.R.I.E.N.D.S. (my favorite show) and I've realized how stupid I looked laughing alone on their crazy antics. I feel such a loser. Oh yah, me and my friends are planning on going to that kiss-anyone-you-see-when-they-tell-you-to thing sponsored by Close-Up, only we would be going to the counterpart which is Lovapa-LOZER. The other night we (my classmates and I) were discussing being single on the month of love and they all agreed that you're a loser when you don't have someone on that special day (Valentine's). Well, call me a loser all you want but I'm not going to get a girlfriend just for the sake of saying that I have one. (I know some people who would... losers) I don't know, I've never been a victim of peer pressure. I think it's the gift of literature (Angelic choir effect here). Ever since I read Harry Potter, I've discovered the magnificent world of books. The letters, phrases, dots, sentences and paragraphs formed part of who I am now. They made me understand things that were way beyond my capacity of comprehension and they helped me prepare for the worst. They made me feel that I am not alone and that there are people who also go thru harrowing experiences. They helped me mature and grow and think like an adult. Most people think that I can never be serious but the truth is, I'm a very deep person. You just have to tell me when you want me to be serious. I don't mean to brag but I've always thought that I had the mind of a 40-year old or something. I don't know. And I've been wondering why I've been from kiss-me-sugar topic to ooohh-i-can-think topic. Must be the alone-ness I'm feeling. The mind plays tricks on yah when you're alone e? Aaaannnnyyway.. Here are the things that the PC have decided to show me:
