The monitor conked out last week. So here's what happened, starting last Sunday.

Sunday
Recital nightmare. I was so anxious and nervous throughout the show, I was on the verge of vomiting. My amazing bladder filled up three times before slowing down, and my fingers were numbed and frozen. I was feeling this certainty that something was going to go wrong. My gut said it. My practice schedule spelled it all: one-time practice on the grand piano is never enough.

So yes, I crammed.

I screwed up the ending.

And my damn foot nearly ran off by itself because it was shaking so bad.

I think it's the waiting that sucks the most, especially if you're the finale. I had to repeat a section of my second piece due to mental block. Eep. That's the FIRST time I had to start over. Hay nako. Dinaan ko na lang sa kapal ng mukha. I really hate recitals.


(Medyo pixelated at madilim) Left to right: My sister, Teacher Kristine and me. Of course, next to my wonderful teacher, I look so BLAH. But what the heck.

Monday
Like I said, the monitor lost itself Sunday night, so my IP paper was, in short, BUSTED. So I took a day off to get everything together, even if Monday was the deadline. Thank goodness for the internet!!! Nearly all of the parts in my email, so not doing it on my computer was okay.

I finished it, but it was disturbingly short. There's something abnormal about research papers that painfully extend to only a measly number of 6 pages.

Tuesday
Pumasok na ko, to submit the darn paper. 2pm yung uwian, so hooray!

I went to the YA Christmas Party with Ate later that night. The theme was "Christmas all over the world".


I'm a Frenchwoman! And my sister is... a Pinoy public school boy. Actually, she's wearing Angelo's Xavier uniform :. I think Angelo indulges her whims too much. I mean, wearing a guy's uniform is gross... it's what they wear next to their skin (though the polo was freshly laundered, I assure you)! Gets ko pa kung jacket e...

And guess who dropped by



B-b-b-b-b-b-borat!!!!

Nakakaaliw!!! He was attracting so much attention na nahiya na siya, so he took off the mustache. Aw.


Diba dapat may bigote pa dito?


It's the second time he was called to the front. That's why he's looking like that.

Wednesday, Thursday
Skipped school. I'm a delinquent, I know. But it just comes to a point where it seems like it's absurd to follow all those rules. In any case, goodbye Marie Eugenie Award. Hahahaha.

Friday
I shopped. Til I nearly dropped dead. We went to Big R at 11:30 am, and shopped until 5 pm. HARDCORE grabeeeee. Naganahan ako e, but the pain from walking was getting to my head. I was happy with my buys though-- to think I got to buy a dress half the price! Hurrah. I like dresses. They're convenient.

Today
We have a Korean priest visiting us. He said the meal prayer in Japanesse. We were awed.

Sleepy now.

Tomorrow will be Christmas Eve. I wish we didn't have this family feud going on. Hmm.
