Saturday, Sunday, Monday

Saturday:

Got a haircut.

Before and after.

<- My hair looks like the creature from the hairy lagoon. I'd tie it up in a ponytail and it STILL would be long. There are times when I like my long hair (like when I can play with it or something), and then there are times when I don't like it (when it gets in the way-- which is all the time unless handled with care :|). So I told mom I'd have it chopped off last Saturday. I didn't care where, as long as it got cut off. I didn't think of the style I wanted until I got there, so I simply said something vaguely about a bob-- a long bob. The hairdresser looked at me like I had two heads or something. Now that I think about it, it was probably a stupid thing to say: a bob is a really short cut, and it simply doesn't work when it's not the proper length. Anyway, with her proper reconciliatory skills, (s)he got it done and I was pretty happy about not having to sweat it out anymore. I just want it short. That's all.

One thing though: I should never ever get it blow-dried and bouncy, unless I want to look like Burton's Willy Wonka. :| :)) My hair looks more human with just a plain shampoo treatment.

Sunday:

Father's Day. Went to Lolo's for lunch. I missed it, because I slept on the couch for half the afternoon. I spent all morning baking these, which took me three unhappy hours:

Lemon cream cheese cupcakes! They're expensive to make but they're really tasty. :)

Monday:

We had a teambuilding activity for our block earlier, since we don't have class every Monday.

So for the activity, we were grouped into groups of 4. (We were just 16 freshies, not everyone came.) My groupmates were Carrie, Kendra and Tobie. Our first stop was near the Econ audi where they had strings tied between two pillars like a spiderweb. Parang Stargate, the crude version. :)) So as usual, we had to go through without touching the strings. Tobie went first. After he got through, the activity leader told us we couldn't use the same space as he did. So... it's either we crawl through some other space, jump over (yeah right) or get carried. Unfortunately, we picked the last one, and even more unfortunately, I had to be the next. And before I knew it, nakaakbay na ko kay Carrie at kay Kendra, and they were ready to lift me through. O_O Parang Rexona moment. There was something wrong with the distribution of weight; medyo nasasakal ko na ata si Carrie, but I couldn't let go cause my FEET were already through. And inside my head I'm just going OhnoOhnoOhno. Tobie pulled me through, which was just-- GAH. I can't believe I did that in my sweaty state.

After I was done, they eventually allowed people to repeat the exit spaces. :| So my other teammates didn't have to suffer the indignity of getting lifted and all. Wth. :))

Anyway, I got to know a lot of people from my block. May mga taga-AC (like Carrie and Louie)! Whaddya know. And then I got to talk to the friendly upperclassmen from the UP EcoSoc. They even treated us to The Beach House(!!! :)) ), where we had lunch and just talked and stuff. It was pretty fun actually, even though it was a little outside my comfort zone. It's just too bad that the only time our block gets together is during Math 17 and Econ 11, and even so we're not always all there.
