Let there be the internet

Doing some Chem project.

Ah. It feels good to be online.

To quickly sum up what happened during the storm:

The wind was frikkin strong, and the rain kept coming in, so we spent two hours last Thursday sealing every crack in the house and mopping the wet stuff that infiltrated the defenses. No electricity for around five days, but we thrived on the generator. Just think, what if this is what life would be like if there was world war... So yes, I do appreciate electricity very mucho now.

We watched the second Ateneo game vs UST. The drums were cool! I liked standing in front of them and feeling the tiny hairs on my arms getting blown every time they were beating. But the UST crowd was a lot more upbeat and enthusiastic, and therefore a lot cooller, if nobody minds me saying so (I secretly hoped UST would score so I could watch them go "Go USTe!" thrice; trust me, it's just absolutely RIVETING). Ateneo: you have to update your cheers for peanuts' sake! If it's not "Go Ateneo!", it's "Get that ball!"; the Blue Eagle spelling only comes in at halftime, and Lord knows I can't spell right when I'm watching something!

Oh well. Game 3 was a really really good fight, though I felt sorry for Intal when he was crying afterwards. I may not be a die-hard fan (I'm actually no loyalist) but... Intal, I share your heartbreak. *moment of silence*

Anyway.

It's been a good week, I think. I got most of the test scores back and I'm happy to say there's been a lot of improvement. What's peculiar though is I seem to be dropping in my best subjects and doing better on the others. A good thing? I'm not sure. I'm rolling my eyes at Algebra though; I'm just no good at the damned thing so I won't obssess about how hideous the test was.

I missed our fellowship day. AWWW. I wanted to go! I had my costume ready and all, and I know it sounds dorky, but I'm sad at having missed it. Dad got carried away by his three-hour chess match for the fiesta tournament; it was 11 when they finished! I didn't go because I think being late for four hours is impolite. I just felt bad at not having the dessert. I think it was an apple-something, and it sounded good, and it sucks not tasting it. Dad apologized and bought me a donut for sweet tooth's sake. Unfortunately, had I know that I would be eating FOUR kinds of cake today (because of Bianca's birthday and the subdivision fiesta) I would've passed on the donut. Eargh. Fatness no goodness.
