Erasable Crayons.

The irony. :)). I bought a set of 8 erasable crayons at National Bookstore kanina. I'll elaborate on that later, but it's still ironic. Today was pretty ironic.

Well, nagkasunog sa Pisay. :P. Unexpected talaga since we were supposed to have our tests today and then on Thursday and Friday. Looks like Pisay students will be having a pseudosembreak for now. Blessing or prolongment of suffering? I dunno exactly. Hell Week is yet to come really, but then this is too literal. :)).

I was up as early as three because I still had to study Chem and Sparknotes English to review the book. I finished Kitchen God's Wife over the weekend already. And I already received news about the fire in Pisay, although I wasnt sure if there were still going to be classes or not. And I was starting to fall asleep in my computer chair, so I decided to turn on the TV. So from 5-5 30 I was actually watching Rugrats. :)). And it was the series when they were still babies. I don't like them as much grown up. XD. And then I still took a shower because I take forever to get ready, better safe than sorry. Though I was already dressed and bathed, I came up to my computer (which I didnt turn off na :P) and saw a lot of gms. My cellphone had around 6 or 7 gms as well.

Though I didn't really expect the fire to be localized in the Faculty Center. I was thinking more of an STR project actually. And it is more probable in the first floor rooms actually. So now the Registrars Office is unharmed, as well as the library. And it was funny seeing Pisay on the news. That's probably because I know the building pretty well from seeing it everyday. Haha.

And my birthday now lands on a perio day instead of a hell day. I dont know if that's good or bad either. I'll still be making libre on friday. Or wednesday. Still deciding. :)). Most likely pizza lang. Haha. Stereotype birthday libre. XD.

Whee. My dad's gonna be confined in the hospital again starting tomorrow. :(. But he did bring me along to Trinoma. :D. Haha. Lakas magshopping ng dad ko. o_o. I didn't seem to get it, yet. :)). And then we stayed a long time in National Bookstore because my dad was looking through the books and that took a while. And I went around to look for things I need or might need. XP. I needed a correction pen and intermediate pad. But I did stumble on some erasable crayons from Crayola. :)). I bought them because naaliw ako. So mababaw rin yung reason ko. XD. I also bought a fabric paint pen to label my lab gown, which I have thought about doing for a long time na. Since I have a tendency to lose labgowns. :)). I still have my first one though, and it's dark blue. I dont use it kasi masyado. =)).

Haha. All I have achieved today was a basic layout for our group's health project. The deadline was moved to next friday. But I should finish the layout by tomorrow siguro para copy paste na lang yung mga info from my groupmates. And I'll be interviewing our pedia tomorrow about babies check ups, immunization and other stuff I need to know.

Now, time to sleep. :P.

Baby Book.

Lol. Haven't even started on that project. And I kinda forgot who my groupmates were again. :P. Anyways, I'm thinking about interviewing our family's pedia to get info on prices on medicines, vaccines and regular check-ups that a baby will need from the ages 0-6 years. And I might as well get help with the pregnancy stuff if its possible. So I might spend some time at Malvar on Tuesday. I even asked my mom how many times you should go to the ob-gyne and stuff, she said its usually once a month, but that changes if youre going to have multiple births. She even mentioned that she had to go every two weeks during the latter part of her pregnancy. O_o.

Aw man, hirap pala ng health project na to. I guess the medical stuff wont be much of a problem, but what about the stuff? I guess I'll find out soon enough.

And yey, tapos ko na Kitchen God's Wife. :D. Now to chem.

Birthday Blues.

How many days before I turn 15? Not too many really, around 10 I suppose. Should I be happy? I dont know either. The week after perio seems to be more of a hell week actually, we only had two longtests this week. But really, there's still the english take home lt, english board game, str group methodology papers, physics and math long tests and filipino poems all due the week after perio. And I don't really like this quarter's schedule. Bio and math together on thursday, the two subjects I happen to perform worst.

And what makes things worse for me? I've only had my birthday on a school day once or twice before. I guess my school found the Lady of the Rosary feastday as a Catholic holiday, therefore they cancelled classes. That changed in my latter gradeschool years. As for when I entered Pisay, my birthday always happened to be on the weekend.

So basically, I will be celebrating my birthday on a Tuesday, but on the same day there will be 2 long tests and 2 due dates. And I thought it would be better since perio would be over by then. Guess this proved me wrong. I can't make libre on my birthday because my classmates and myself will probably be cramming str or physics during lunch time. Though this might not be the way I imagined myself spending my birthday, I have no choice. It's just sad really, and the long test schedule might change (I hope). Don't do anything to me for not making libre, I'll try on another day. But please, give me a break. Hell week, in my opinion, is just coming. Potassium's hell day happens to be on my birthday.

And right now, I'm not looking forward to my birthday. I dont want October 7 to come any soon. I dont like the schedule. And I never wanted a supposedly special day for me to be a hell day. D:

Twins.

I have a twin. An identical one too. Though if I were to choose, I would have a fraternal twin brother. Throw in a kuya or ate or even both. And I am aware that people tell me that having a twin is practically what a lot of kids wish for.

I had the misconception as a kid that twins just happened. I never thought that they had anything to do with genetics. In fact, when people would ask me "kung kanino yung lahing kambal?", I'd answer with a simple "Father's side".

I often come across people saying they want twins for kids. While I base my decision of what my mom actually experienced. And I don't think I'd want to go through the same things. Come on, you gain 25 pounds in that 9 months of pregnancy and with twins you gain twice that. Simple logic, but it sounds horrible really. And she even got sick right after her pregnancy, she suffered from post eclampsia and lost an ovary. The latter was because of us, technically we some what crushed them. Hard to believe, but it's true.

And curse genetics, I'm still prone to having twins as kids, given that I do have one. In other words, if you want twins as kids, marry someone who has it in there genes. Not necessarily that they have a twin, it can be that they have cousins, siblings, relatives or parents that are twins. Its a trick in the genes really.

Oh well, I guess it's supposed to be a blessing in disguise somehow. Sometimes I see it, and sometimes I dont. Seriously. Be contented with not having one as well, in my old school I was known as kambal, at least now I'm not since we go to different schools now. And I'm happy I actually got an identity of my own. And our sibling rivalry is higher than most siblings, since we're more likely to be compared. Sucks really sometimes. But it is a blessing in disguise. It just isn't yet showing itself to me entirely.

The Quality of Mercy.

Aw man, I sucked kanina. Although people said that my voice was projected well enough and the words were pronounced ok, I had like 3 dead air moments. T_T. I wanna repeat it, and have someone proctor me this time. Wah. And I could barely move because my hands were either too numb or shaking too hard for me to move properly. And they hurt as well. I really want to repeat it.

Anyways. I never really did that well in speeches. I almost always forget something. T_T. I guess speeches aren't my thing, as well as acting. :)). Ah well.

I really want to repeat my elocution. Make it better at least. No more dead air moments, and more movements.

And here's my Elocution piece if you guys are wondering. The scene in the book was set in a courtroom. Portia, the character I played, tried to persuade Shylock (the money lender/the guy suing someone) to have mercy on Antonio (the merchant/the guy being suied) for not following their contract on Antonio paying him on time.

From Shakespeare's The Merchant of Venice

Portia: The quality of mercy is not strain'd
It droppeth as the gentle rain from heaven upon the place beneath
It is twice blest
It blesseth him that gives and him that takes
'Tis mightiest in the mightiest
It becomes the throned monarch better than his crown
His sceptre shows the force of temporal power
The attribute to awe and majesty
Wherein doth sit the dread and fear of kings
But mercy is above this sceptred sway
It is enthroned in the hearts of kings
It is an attribute to God himself
And its earthly power doth show likest God's when mercy seasons justice
Therefore, Jew,
Though justice be thy plea, consider this,
That in the course of justice,
None of us should see salvation
We do pray for mercy
And that same prayer doth teach us to render the deeds of mercy
I have spoken thus much
To mitigate the justice of thy plea
Which if thy follow, this strict court of Venice
Must needs give sentence 'gainst the merchant there.
