Okay, so this is the LAST time I will ever mention Beowulf in successive posts.

I was thinking about Mortal Kombat upon learning that Beowulf came from the same producer, and it suddenly struck me how similar Raiden's voice (the white haired dude) is to Beowulf's. I skittered off to look, and yes, it's the same actor. I think he's better off as Raiden.

Kenning: to string together picturesque nouns as a fancy way of expressing plain words

examples in Misha-speak (as seen in her old article):
Cranial apex - head
Anal output - poo

I can't remember if I got those right. Will check tomorrow.

Grabe, ang galing ni Misha mag-English. (Parang hindi siya nanggaling sa Assumption. Haha, ansama. Magaling naman kami, hindi lang kami Ingglisera.) I heard her talking to Milcah while History was going on, and her diction was smooth and flawless. *is awed* Bale kung kay Nikky (Cancio), grammatically struggling ako, kay Misha ubos na English ko bago pa niya ko kausapin. Haha, ganyan ako pag binibigla ng English; di makapagsalita nang maayos. Kaya ayoko mag tryout ulit for Pub ever-- binibigla ka nila sa Ingles. *shiver*

Anyway.

I've got tons of stuff to study, lalo na yung proving na yan. I hate Geometry. It's all CONCEPTS and IMAGINATION; pano ba naman yan, mahina ako mag-imagine ng 3-d kung expressed in shapes. Algeb, formula lang, solb ka na.

Hay nako, Chem din, kelangan i-review. Ms. Hebron was teaching us solving in scientific notation a while ago (ba't ba nagkakapalit-palit?! Concepts sa Geom, computations sa Chem...). And we were already so deep into it, when suddenly she went "Wait, I've made a mistake." and proceeded to correct the VERY FIRST example, thereby destroying the foundations on which we built our knowledge of scientific notations. Chaotic confusion ensued. Frumple bugs! Lusaw na utak ko. About ten minutes before the bell, after putting up with our desperate whining ("Ms, hindi ko geeeeeets!!!!), she had a spark of genius and wrote down the CORRECT way on the board. Finally. Yun lang pala e. It was time wasted because she tried to explain it orally to our tattered minds. Sana sinulat niya kanina pa, para get na get na namin kanina pa.

Hay buhay.

Third year. Hectic. Sucks.

As for clubs, I feel like I have no appetite for any of them. Ethnic is okay, but I have no committment to clubs who have to practice during class hours and show up on days that you can skip. I just don't want to promise anything I won't be able to keep.

Tried Plaid a while ago, then Cartooning, again.

There's something similar and predictable about an anime fan. One, most likely they're proficient in English, and are bound to talk to each other in bubbly tones about their anime business. Two, they like writing, maybe fanfics, rpgs and the like. Three, they like to draw anime characters or their own, and the one who does the best likeness of an anime characters is most probably considered really good. Four, they like calling each other by Japanese nicknames. For Five... I shall leave it to you to fill it in.

Overall they're nice. And strange. And oddballs on the side. What the heck. They're nice-- let me leave it at that.

I wish there were other clubs. But there's nothing wrong with Cartooning; I mean, Ms Brigino is the moderator, and judging by her good managerial skillz, I think she'll give the club the support it needs. The new OH seems determined to make changes too, so plus for that. And I also reason that I'm fairly tolerant of animaniac fan girls. It's just that... being in an "art" club, and being an artiste yourself, is like putting yourself in a pressure cooker. There's an overcrowd of ideas, and if not managed properly, it will-- I don't know about the others-- definitely suffocate me. I think these kinds of clubs need lots of space between members, which will give them more leeway to demonstrate creativity, so that it won't be a working hazard. Unlike in PAMUlatan (acting club); it's sad that everbody's creative energy wasn't harnessed. They sort of strangled each other in the process of self-expression.

Haaay...

Only one thing made my day:

I PASSED THE EVENTS COM SCREENING!!!!

*dances on eggshells*

And I didn't lose my pen, as I had previously thought. Yay me! It was in my pencil case all along.
