hmm... so many things to talk about, but where shall i start??? let's see... i went shopping yesterday for the outfit i needed for the debut i'm supposed to be attending tom. the theme: hawaiian. no luck. although i did find the cropped pants i wanted to use, and i got these white flats from bench that are pretty versatile and quite comfy, too. it had stars on it so plus factor. :D the top i got wasn't really of my taste, syado kasi girly. wahaha i can already hear my friends scolding me right now and saying,"steph, you're style's too rock-ish, be a girl kahit minsan lang." what??? is it wrong to love black and orange too much??? wehehe :D anyhoo, both the pants and the top had no sizes at the stores we went to so we had to ask if other branches did. luckily the ones in galleria and gh did. mom was pretty happy with the mix. she likes seeing me in pink. in other words, it was because girl daw ako doon. like i said, is it wrong to love black and orange too much??? :D i also bought the gift for sandy, the celebrant, yesterday. perfume, lip gloss set and mini make-up brushes all from Penshoppe. not bad actually. but when i got to school this morning, my dearest angelyn (sandy's best friend) told me that i was part of the 18 treasures. waaaaa! i panicked. i didn't know what to give her na. i also needed to sing one line from a song, or share a memory or corny joke that reminds me of sandy. after some hard thinking, i thought of giving her the carebears figurines that i had at home since she simply adores them, but like my dad always says, "life isn't fair." and boy is it true! the figurines were already given away. hay...di bale, i'll think of something...
i have found a new love -- photography. i was browsing through some deviantART (heaven on earth :D) pages and its amazing what one can capture using a camera. i'm just drooling over these amazing shots taken by a 17 year old pinoy and a 16 year old pinay. wehehe they're just... beautiful... :D i'm definitely gonna take-up workshops on photography this summer. and try to have kester or richmond or someone to teach me photoshop and corel! check them out at: http://gobbledyguk.deviantart.com/ & http://shatterday.deviantart.com/ |
we had our religion class with mrs. ramos today. it was a... i can't find the appropriate word, but it was different today. mrs. R used-up at least half of her period dedicated to praying for the victims of typhoon Yoyong in quezon. mrs. R was so sincere and her prayer was so heartfelt that those who were not... sleeping, i guess... felt the resonating sadness she was feeling. she cried, the whole class saw her wipe her tears. and its seldom to see your teachers really putting all their efforts into just getting the whole class into what she had done with us. she told us that when she saw the news about the things that Yoyong had done to the people of quezon, she really wanted to call on the YFS (Youth for Service) and some Seniors to help-out Bantay Bata for the relief goods. but before she could contact anyone, she had to stop herself. why? well, our school is not like ateneo or xavier or ica. i admit that we are a sheltered community. judenites are not, well... we're not exposed to these things. we are kept inside our classrooms, safe from all the harm. we are not encouraged to go to these sites and volunteer our services. at the most, we are only asked to donate, and they will be the ones to give the goods out... not us. our school is very traditional and mrs. R isn't exactly the most traditional teacher around. our 3rd quarter curriculum consists of, by our standards i guess, three very controversial topics: abortion, homosexuality and domestic violence. i, myself, am glad that mrs. R is teaching us these things to broaden our views and not be cooped-up in a cage of opinions built by the people who want to keep us away from what is really happening in this sick and twisted world. but the people "up there" think that mrs. R is not teaching us anything useful. this is why she can't do anything. she's been contemplating of resigning, but for the sake of her family, she can't do anyhting. i hope our school realizes that this is not the 15th century anymore. times have changed and we cannot be left caged. we are not animals, we are human beings... curious and eager to learn.
on the lighter side of things, my rhgp project came-out pretty well. i'll post a pic once i get it back. but for now, i'd better be going... it's almost midnight.
btw, wish our squad luck for our screening tom! hopefully the G-man and mrs. Lopez are in a good mood. wehe
til next... ciao!
