Today is Wednesday. The most boring day of the week. So, I woke up at 6am, took a bath, ate breakfast and went to school. My dad was the only one who drove me to school because Jessica was sick and my mom was with her. I thought I was going to be late because of the heavy traffic. Good thing I was not.Morning subjects were fine. We had some reminders for the Outreach during homeroom. Then, we had a simple, but kinda long Computer quiz and a math quiz which we just took for 25 minutes... We had recess, then Stat.. Sir Sta. Maria shared the story of the "Green Ball". If you're curious about it, hesitate to ask. You might just waste your time listening.. hahaha!!! then we had discussion about graphs once again. Science time was so fun! We examined different animals (preserved with formalin) for our activity. When we checked our activity, people got wrong names of the specimens - squid (octopus :p), mantis (praying mantids :P).. Then we had lunch. I ate with some 2B people at the gym.
Afternoon subjects were alright. We continued watching the movie "The Road Home" during English time. It was really beautiful. Too bad I wasn't able to start it because I was absent. Then, we had discussion on miracles during CLE time. Sir also reminded us of the things to bring for recollection. We had a group activity during RHGP time. We were given lines and we had to complete those lines and make a picture! Our group really did a great job!
Dismissal time, I was with Ice. We bought food from the gym and went around the school 3 times (I think). We shared stories to each other and we were really laughing out loud (lol) all the time! It was really fun! Then I went home and rested.
That's all for today! Gonna rest now since it's just our recollection for tom! See yah! :P

Today is Monday, back to school and back to studying. My mom woke me up this morning at around 6am to go to school. When I was about to stand up, my head really ached and I was feeling dizzy. So my mom decided that I should stay home and rest. Maybe it was because I was too tired from the APAC. So my sister went to school and I continued sleeping.I woke up again at 10am, feeling much better. I ate my breakfast, took a bath then watched TV. I ate my lunch, rested for a while and decided to start studying in case some subjects might have quizzes. At around 4pm, my grandma and I left the house for Makati Med. We both had our check-ups -another reason why I was absent. Then, we went home. I started asking what happened this morning and then I studied for the quizzes.
I have to study for Math, Social, Science, Filipino and HE quizzes tom. I'm not even sure if they had additional notes for these subjects. Oh well, I just have to go to school tomorrow as early as possible. Got to go now and study! :P

It's so good to be back from Los Banos. The APAC survivors - me,jo,keziah,guia,diane,gela,mikh, kiele, lisette,romano, marc, JR,earl,roman,jonas,lance, and michael - had a really unique which we all enjoyed.Last thursday, the APAC people were excused again for practice during the afternoon. We had our general rehearsal with the new music teacher(scary), then discussed the things to bring for the activity. That night, I prepared my things-clothes, food, pillow, toiletries. Then I slept and rested.
The next day, we were off the Los Banos. We left the school at around 10am. We had a stop over at Petron to but our breakfast and lunch. We bought our food from mcdo and ate it at the bus. We arrived in Los Banos at 12:30. We checked our groups and room assignments. Then, I had lunch with Lisette. I didn't eat that much because I was still kinda full. After some time, members of each group met and had the usual "introduce yourself". Different schools were there - CSA Binan, La Consolacion College, Novaliches College and more. Each group should choose a servant leader. We chose fourth year people (of course!). Our first group activity was the poster making. Each group should make a symbol for their Augustinian Saint. Our group's saint was Blessed William the Hermit. I had to draw the symbol and it really looks stupid. At least, our group had a poster. Next was to make a cheer integrating the saint. Fortunately, we weren't able to perform. Then, we had the Holy Mass, which was sponsored by our school. I think everything went well and everyone gave their best. Then we had the ritual. Some people performed a ritual. A part of the ritual was killing the chicken. I wasn't able to see it because I was staying at the back. After the ritual was dinner. Before you could go to the cafeteria, you have to walk for 1km (it was really tiring). We discussed things over dinner. We shared stories and laughed. Then, we went back to the gym (Vargas Hall). Father Joel taught us the origami and the ritual before going to sleep. After an hour, we finished the ritual, which was very nice, and it was time to go to sleep. We discovered that we had to walk for 3km, carrying our luggage, before we could reach our dorm. Good thing, a brother helped me. The dorm was fine although the comfort rooms were not! I freshened up and slept.
At 3:30, Jo woke me up and I took a bath. I dressed up, fixed my things and slept again. We woke up at six and prepared ourselves for the morning praise. The morning praise was weird. we had to follow the nuns who were doing an interpretative dance, which was a prayer. After an hour, we ate breakfast. I didn't eat that much because the food was not cooked well. So, the juniors decided to order from mcdo. When we returned, Brother Alvin Barcelona gave a talk. I really can't help but sleep. The talk was fine, but since it was kinda boring, I was sleeping once in a while. Then, we ate our breakfast (mcdo), but it was a secret. We had another talk, then siesta. We had a free ride going back to the gym. It was time for praise and worship. It was so fun! Everyone enjoyed a lot! Another speaker, ate merienda, then practice for the socials. The CSA Makati delegates decided that the Boosters will have a dance number, some will make a skit and each level will perform one of their best cheers from the Cheering Competition. Then we had Mass, dinner which was adobo, another dinner which was spaghetti from mcdo then the Concert. Schools were requested to perform a number for the Concert. I think our school was the best! haha! Then we were off to our dorms to sleep!
The following day was the last day of the APAC activity. We woke up late and missed the morning praise. Then, we ate breakfast which was really good ( hotdog, rice and egg). Then we had mass, picture taking and went home. We had a stop over at the gasoline station for lunch. I ate burger steak for lunch. Then we saw CSA Binan..haha!! wala lang.. We arrived at school and I feel so happy to be home! That's all! I have to rest now since we still have classes tom! :P

It's back to school again. After one week of rest and vacation, we are back to being nerds again.. Yesterday, most of the subject teachers returned our PT papers..Today, I woke up at 6am, took a bath, ate breakfast and went to school. I thought I was going to be late for the flag ceremony because we left the house at 6:55. at least I was able to catch up:)).. We had the normal FC, then went back to the classroom.. As soon as we entered the classroom, an announcement was made.. APAC delegates will have a practice at the Sta. Rita.. We were all happy because we would miss classes again.. haha
We proceeded to the Lecture Room. Seminarian Brothers arrived to teach us the songs which we will be singing during the Mass. It was super laugh trip!!! I kept on laughing because of Keziah and Guia... One of the brothers had a lot of grammar mistakes.. sobra talaga!! We had our recess at 10am.. then we had another round of practicing the songs...
It was already lunch time. Lisette, Mikh and I decided to eat at the gym. It was raining really hard. We had to run going to the gym and we got soooo wet!!! At least after eating,the rain wasn't that hard anymore.. We went to the theater to check the 2B people, but they weren't there. So we went up and asked what we have missed. We went to the Lecture Room again to discuss things with Fr. Joel... The whole ritual was explained and we made the tea candle holder. Then, we had the chance to do the ritual at the CC. The first thing to do was easy. It was just stepping to the right and left. What was hard was passing the candles while moving. Our candle holders were wrecked.. At least we were able to do it properly (i think)..
For the last hour, we discussed the things to bring. Questions were clarified then we went back to the classroom. We saw some 2B people and asked what we have missed. It was not that much, though we were all panicking.. We copied some notes, got test papers and went home..
I am soo tired right now! I don't know why.. But I am sooo excited on Friday!! Hope we have fun!!!
