exhibit time!!

Our class' long awaited exhibit had finally come. Me together with the rest of my classmates are so excited. The exhibit will be held on Tuesday, September 23 at 6:30 pm in UP College of Fine Arts. The exhibit is mainly about our humble beginnings and the start of our life as artist's. It's actually my first time to have an exhibit since I'm really not an "art person". My classmates disagree with me since they've justified that I am an art person because out of all the many people who applied to be in UP CFA I was chosen even though I am not that passionate. I never thought that I would be able to go this far. Who knew I had a talent in drawing that I'm actually good enough to be part of an exhibit. Anyway, we all hope it goes well. We're expecting it to be big and successful with lots of artists, close friends and people who just wants to experience art. I can't wait!

gosh! I miss them so much!! (English 1)

Well, these are my beloved best friends. You wouldn't imagine how depressed I am now that we've gone our separate ways. On the left side is Ellaine or my "twix". She's currently studying at Trinity University of Asia. Let's just say that among all of them she's the one who's the sweetest and most lovable. Although our houses are practically three streets away from each other, I still miss her since I don't get to see her often due to the difference in our schedule. The second one is Josephine. Everyone calls her "fhie-fhie" but I call her "muff", short for muffin. I miss her too but not as much as I miss the others. Maybe it's because we're not that close to each other. Well, we used to be but since the vacation we grew apart. The guy in the middle is my best-friend, "best" for short. I love this guy so much. He's the "best", the coolest, the funniest and the most interesting. He's the one I miss the most since he lives very far from all of us and I'm very attached to him. The girl between us is Joann or as I call her, "better". She says that since I have a best I should have a better. She is our model, literally. We designed her costume during the United Nations pageant when we were fourth year students. Her costume won and she was hailed as Ms. Tanzania. Ah the memories we had and shared with each other. I miss those times and most of all I miss them. Last night was Joann's birthday and we were so happy to see each other. We laughed, did the usual, teased each other and most of all shared the new experiences we had these past few months. They haven't changed at all and that's a good thing. Most of my other friends changed since they entered college but these best-friends of mine are still the same, just the way I like them.

new iPod: should I be happy or not? (English 1)

I bought a new iPod last week. Good for me! I've been looking forward to buying one since June but my mom wouldn't allow me since she says it's just a waste of money. I finally convinced her to let me buy one. I simply said that I have a three hour break every Wednesday and that I always get bored during those days and I have nothing to do and no place to go. So that's the story. I thought owning an iPod would be easy as pie but it turned out that it caused me a lot of problems like being unable to download and erase certain songs. It was difficult for me. I didn't know anything about it. So we returned the iPod where we bought it which is in megamall, which is about half an hour away from where I live. It was exhausting. When I got there I thought they would replace the iPod. Little did I know that they just taught me how to manage it properly. So we left and when I got home I tried out their instructions. The iPod is still the same. Maybe it's not the iPod which is broken, maybe it's our computer. Anyways, I found a way which would make the iPod work. I guess it's as good as nothing.

I don't even care anymore!! (English 1)

I have this childhood friend. I'd rather not tell her real name but let's just call her "AC". Now AC was a very good friend of mine. We've been friends since the sixth grade although I wouldn't consider her as my best friend . We always walk together, eat together, tell each other our secrets, etc. After our high school graduation we promised ourselves we'd never forget each other. The first few months were fine. We always hung out, watched movies, talked on the phone. In short, we did our usual routine when we were still in high school. The problem started the same time classes started. She only called when she needed something or if she's going to tell me that she saw this really cute guy who she thinks is madly in love with her or if a guy in class asked her name or if a guy she knew before is asking her out or if she has a classmate who looks like this certain cute guy etc...etc... To make things a lot simpler and shorter, she talked about guys a lot! She never called me to check on things, she never called to ask me what college is like in UP, she never even called to say how much she misses me. Every time that I try to call her she's always sleeping or she's busy or she's sick. I even heard her once saying to her dad "Tell her I'm tired and I'll call her back.". Guess what, she never called back. So I didn't want to talk to her ever again. Then two nights ago I was online then she buzzed and even included a smiley. I said "whatever". We started fighting. She said she doesn't have time for me anymore, that she is too busy. Then I thought "Busy? I should be the busy one since I'm studying in the University of the Philippines.". She couldn't even spare at least a minute of her time. She doesn't have classes for three days in one week. The moment she typed in those horrible words "I don't have time for you anymore." I was furious and sad at the same time. Then I snap and got all emotional on her and I just said "I'm your friend. I've always been you friend. I'm always ready to help and listen. I've done my part. All I'm asking is just a minute of your time to remind me of the friendship we've made throughout the years.". So this July 19th we're going to meet together with our other friends who are hoping that we could fix things. I don't think I'm gonna be able to forgive her for what she said to me. We'll just see.

what's going on with my inner thoughts? (English 1)

These past few days I've been, well, let's just say, depressed. I'm over-worked and over-stressed from studying. I've never had this much work since forever. When I was in high school I used to chill around, sleep during the weekends or watch a movie with my friends. My teachers back then did try to warn us about the work we're going to face in college. We ignored them thinking they were just trying to scare us so that we would do a better job on the assignments they gave us. Well, they were right. Especially with my case. Heck, I'm studying in a state university for crying out loud! In my opinion, I would guess that what we're doing now is still easy since we're freshmen. Then I thought, "if these easy stuff are hard for me, what about the hard stuff? Would it be even harder or would I be able to adjust?". Some people are saying "Hey, enjoy!Relax!". They should just switch places with me and let's see if they could relax. Might as well just make the most of it.
