hell hall, patch power and first day frights


watching my sister as she paced back and forth from the kitchen to the dining table, kitchen to the dining table, kitchen and back again to, you guessed it, the dining table, was such a laugh for me.

she was so anxious, in a worried-sick-about-to-throw-up state last night while i was happily finishing a banana (which i had to eat because apparently, i need the potassium, according to the doctors) which i didn't really fancy eating that time.
she was nervous about going back to school, and about her classmates too (baka daw yung kinaiinisan niya maging kaklase niya) and i just had to laugh.

i was, in no way, worried about going back. i was just in NO mood to go back.

of course, our helpers weren't too excited about it either.

to wake me up they have to literally drag me out of bed and hold my arms to prevent me from finding my blanket to cover myself up and snuggle back to sleep again. i'm stubborn and i know it.

i've studied in my school for too long to not know that we're always going to be the last to start vacation, and the first ones to go back to school.

i know, i know, the teachers miss us SO much.

NOT.

okay so i know that the dire, dull details of this uneventful first day of classes will make its way to almost everyone's blog and i don't want to be left out. (okay kidding, i'm bored so i'm typing)

so. first day of classes.
it wasn't bad.

i like my classmates.
well. almost all of them.

pats was there (my cakesniffer), irish, koko, keish, jescia, lots of COL officers including the president and the level rep, basta masaya. i'm also quite happy with our adviser because just thinking of the unfortunate students of (insert section here) makes me want to gloat. then feel guilty about it.

anyway, the usual first day orientation happened. i, for one, was just excited about the air-conditioning.
finally after 11 years of being an SHSian, i'll have a taste of how an air-conditioned classroom is. it's easier to fall asleep with that kind of classroom you know. (since masyadong tipid ang SHS at masyadong generous sa outreach, 4th year lang may air-con) but but but and a million more buts, even if we waited, and waited, and waited while trying to keep ourselves cool by fanning ourselves with our brand new fillers (or paperbags, whichever looks cuter), hindi na on yung air-con. i don't know why, and i most definitely don't want to know. i just want my classroom cold, that's all. and they don't give it to me. shites, gotta go and complain (*checks organizational chart*)

due to some unfortunate circumstances, i wasn't able to get my locker today, the sole reason is because i couldn't find my combi lock. i blame the cabinets for hiding my ticket to a good locker a.k.a my combi lock below the tons of other stuff in it. (since the first ones to have a lock gets to choose their locker)

*random silly line*

teacher: "linisin niyo palagi yung locker niyo, mamaya may anaconda na diyan hindi niyo pa alam"

i had to laugh. not because of the corny joke, please, but because of the anaconda thing.
was she really serious??? kahit ulo ng anaconda di man lang magkakasya sa cheapskate, too small lockers ng SHS.

okay so i'm the leader of our group (the cleaning one), and i'm not exactly the most organized, neat freak person in the world, so go figure why. (random sharing)
our adviser was discussing "house rules" (translation = classroom rules) awhile ago. how big brother-ish, you agree?

can you believe that we already have a freakin' homework? an easy one though, but still.

earth to my school, it's the FIRST day!!!!

so anyway, the canteen is now called "Mo. Maria Helena Hall" or just plain hell (fine. hel) hall, although there's one problem...

it's NOT even a hall, you freaks!

what a way to start the recess cycle (ongoing tiill march). my first recess snack as a senior was jack & jill choco-knots.
you shouldn't have expected anything grand, like pre-heated Yellow Cab pizza, leftover from dinner.
i was in the mood to eat one of those. anyway, pats was kind enough to share her hershey's kissables (yun ba tawag dun?) so ok lang kahit choco-knots lang nakain ko.

anyway, i was a wee bit disappointed (okay, maybe not just a wee bit) to find out that the canteen wasn't rearranged this year. every year it was like "wow bago yung ayos ng canteen" but this year, no. same old, same old.
not to mention the same old food concessionaire na sobrang kurakot, sobra pa sa doble ng presyo ng pagkain kung tumubo.
geez.

although the canteen trip was fun. with a certain thing you call patch power, you are invincible. that big red number 4 says it all. every scared first year would step out of the way for you to be able to buy that Milo drink you don't really want but you decide to buy one anyway just to feel the stares of those lower batch students staring at that big red number on your chest. they feel threatened (and mind you, no one does the threatening. it's a psychological thing i guess) and we like it.
being a senior has it's perks, and it is loverly.

so that pretty much sums it up. the school hasn't changed much since i last saw it. (which was last saturday. haha). kidding aside, it really looks pretty much the same, except for the J-court (or Jansen/jologs court, whichever you prefer) which has large maroon bars already (i think they're getting it covered) and the building names with the big large name plates in cheap plastic. (they call the canteen a hall when it's not a hall, sheesh)

i just hope to have my Formal Theme (or themeS? libre mangarap) placed in the so-called "Wall of Fame", get an A- conduct for even just a quarter this year, and NOT suck at physics, anal. geom, accounting and economics. the horror of math and numbers... oh and also to be able to row the tin-can boat to be for Physics without completely ruining it, not to mention our grade for it.

waiting for the air-conditioning to just work...

Cheers.

Devious and Twisted,

Therese

face it, sucko.

i'm the hero of fools.

all quoted.

"The sad truth is that the truth is sad."

"It's amazing how people are always willing to listen to a man in a funny costume"

"People don't always get what they deserve in this world"

"You can not be a supermodel."

"I'm beginning to think that washing my face is a complete waste of time"

"Most women would rather be Cindy Crawford than Marie Curie"

"The world is a harum scarum place."

"If a guy is witty, charming and artistic, he is probably gay."

"Fate is like a strange, unpopular restaraunt, filled with odd waiters who bring you items you never asked for and don't always like."

"In relationships, it is best to assume nothing."

"Not only am I very intelligent, but I am also very smart."

"Hey, I heard your friend died"

"Yea"

"Well, don't feel bad. He's an old guy, and that's what old guys do. They DIE."

"Certain things they should stay the way they are.You ought to be able to stick them in one of those big glass cases and just leave them alone. I know it's impossible but it's too bad anyway."

"I remember how, a couple of days ago, you and I killed a couple of hours with a computer game. Perhaps the game amused me more than it did you; I desperately needed a little respite from all my thoughts. But each time we 'died' in that game, a new screen immediately came up, and we were off again. How can we know that there isn't a 'new screen' for our souls as well? I don't think there is, I really don't. But the dream of something unlikely has its own special name. We call it hope."

blasto fasto. congratulations, reader, you've clicked the scroll button long enough to have reached the part that nobody dares to reach. now buzz off.
