weekend getawayi went to bohol with my family this weekend. it was a great getaway. i completely forgot about everything bothering me right now. if i had the chance, i'd stay as long as i could. but because of school, had to go home early. first time i rode a plane on my own. every five minutes i'd think the plane would crash and i'd die, but sure enough, it didn't.

the young ones after "star-fishing"
please notice how INTENSE my dad is with the videoke thing. yeah, we brought the Magic-Sing along. makes for good inuman nights with the family. [everyone in the picture is wasted]taeneo says "inamo la salle!"
school's been really eventful. ergo, i have come up with this list..
*FIVE THINGS IN AdMU THAT YOU WILL PROBABLY NOT FIND IN LSGH*strange academicswell, so far, the academics are all okay. i am finding english and fiction highly amusing. i love the professors and their teaching styles. hehe. but then, i never thought i'd hate chem more than i hated it way back in thrid year. and i never thought i'd find a worse chem teacher than my teacher back in third year. chem = death. and what sucks is that it's just because of our lovely, ever-smiling [psycho] teacher. the other chem classes have it so easy.
wide range of extra-curricularsi've been going org-crazy since recruitment started. signed up for The Loyola Mountaineers, Harvard - PAIR [i just had to mention harvard], The Ateneo Association of Communication Technology Management, and The Ateneo Rifle Pistol Team [ARPT {sounds like armpit}]but then, sadly, due to katamaran to pass the requirements and after weighing everything out, i decided to withdraw from TheLoyola Mountaineers [which was by far my first choice] and the H-PAIR thing. but then, that gave a little more room for anotherorg that didn't require THAT much. so i joined Gawad Kalinga. yeah, orgs are fun. i REALLY wanna get in the varisty for the pistol team, and cease to attend P.E. forever. hehe. gotta practice more. here was my 2nd target board. don't wanna bother showing the first. [naks!]
intense block Rah, yes. the whole block R has taken the LSGH term "intense" into their vocabulary. apparently, it applies to a lot of things in this block. hehe. i love my block. i've never seen so many different individuals in one group who got along so well. so many different characters but still, the ties are there. see, in la salle, since i've been around the guys for soooo long, you can't really help but see the similarities among us. and so far, SO FAR, issues haven't really surfaced unlike in highschool.
great cafeteria foodsee, in la salle, there's either sisig with rice or siomai with rice. and the obscure, weird looking viands that they always serve. food in la salle is prepared as if just in one big kaldero where they just mix up everything and put it into a tray and serve it. when they "wash" the used plates and utensils, they dip em in water, move it about a while, and presto, good as new.
i have never seen a caf that serves Grilled Blue Marlin with Lemon Butter Sauce, or Dinuguan with puto, or Kare-Kare even. there's even a special booth for dieting people. great. can practically live off the stuff at the AdMU caf(s).
green blood [or at least except from us]yes, sadly, i am still a lasallian at heart and that's something that still sorta makes me feel weird attending school in ateneo. don't get me wrong, i'm not that immature [though i am at some level], i just feel like this entire change of environment is a bit shocking, you know? culture shock, one might say.

long tests galore this week. i'll blog again soon.
the adventure ended at 7:39 PM
