the NAsHDC experience. it's hard to let go.

lately, or specifically for the past five days, i have thrown away my life. i haven't been attending regular classes and i didn't have a break like the weekends. all i had was fatigue and a drained brain because of debating. but really, it was an experience that was hard to get over. maybe because i've been feeling a lot of gloominess these days.

last friday was the beginning of the nashdc tournament or the national asians highschool debate championship. we left school right after the first friday mass and we went to claret school of qc. heck it was pretty much a hassle because we were aboard an l300 which has a dysfunctional air-conditioning unit. anyway, we arrived in claret and wasted 7 hours because the start of the tournament was not until 4 pm. so we watched shrek, ate a lot and toured the school.

at past 4, we had the round o and it was really like whatver. we lost because of a soft definitional challenge but anyway, gica our adj was so nice. we were up against swing team a. 2 claret boys and one atenean. ** was really cute and a really good debater. too bad he didn't hang-out for the rest of the tournament.bummer.

second day. i was actually determined to win the 3 rounds of debates that we're gonna have on that day. but unfortunately, we didn't. grrr. i even cried in front of our adj luigi. hahaha. drama queen. i had 2 embarrasing moment in front of l***y. the only thing that kept my hopes up was the fact that luigi said we were fluent and charming. awww. pambobola. hahahaha. no big.

3rd day, we only had 2 rounds left. we won. but i wasn't happy about it or anything. i really felt like revolting most of the time.

goodbye intrams.

Yesterday was really fun. The prospect that it was the last day of intrams really got into our heads which made us ripp ourselves off leaving us broke at the end of the day.
The other dancers and i helped our classmates for the field demo by curling their hair and applying makeup on them. Then we watched them:) It was great. really. After that was fun, fun, fun.
We got into the rides and finally went to the inflatable slide that we were aching to play in for the past few days. It was really fun, not to mention we played under the heat of the sun.(nagrhyme?) We also pigged-out. we ate two slices of pizza, goto, corn, ice cream...and other stuff. Then it was the awarding ceremony. The tangerine team didn't win you know, grand awards but it's okay. It was worth the fun and effort. for me,...
Then, besie showed up out of nowhere. She texted me only yesterday that she's going to manila and that we'll meet somethin' like that. We eventually did after a lot of hesitations. We went to sm jologs. had drinks in fiorgelato. She invited friends over to join us. It was fun.
But at the end of the day, stupid things happened here at home. And today i'm stuck here with my mom in our house. Sheesh. So next week is a new adventure for me as we resume our regular classes. i'm going to study a lot this weekend and prepare for our upcoming debates.:) hope all will turn out well.ü

today. pig-out day.

whatever. so just got home from school and i'm really tired. not to mention i didn't do anything tiring today. just ate and slept and played around. maybe this is due to lack of sleep from last night.

i really had a blast. too bad one person i was supposed to be with wasn't able to come. well, too bad for her.ü she missed a lot. rivermaya was so great and we really had fun jumping around in the moshpit(if you can actually call it that). we were all sweaty and we were singing at the top of our lungs. (reminds me of something....)

hmmmm... speaking of pigging out, i ate two slices of pizza, a barbeque, nachos and other stuff today. i only have 60 bucks left for tomorrow. beats having a lot of stuff around. we watched you got served in the morning and had fun in the "fun booths" before we stayed in the gym to watch the pAuliquiz bee and the badminton games [ so boring by the way].
