ACET over...and the Roxas Scandal

I had a surprisingly great time yesterday before the ACET. I was able to spend time with a friend whom i haven't seen in quite some time. I picked my friend up early at around 10:30am and we then proceeded to Katipunan to grab a bite coz neither of us had eaten yet. We circled Katipunan around three times because of the lack of parking space in Starbucks. Man that place is always full. So anyways, we decided to park in the Ateneo na and just pass the bridge connecting to Katipunan.

We talked and talked for quite some time. It was really refreshing chatting with my friend again. We reached the place and started ordering our "brunch". We both had the same thing. We both ordered ham and cheese on wheat bread. I ordered a Tazo Iced Tea. I still don't know why I keep ordering that stupid bland tea...Anyways, my friend had steamed milk with vanilla. It's my friend's favorite daw. We both also ordered fudge brownies. yummy! haha

We first sat near the window. It's the long row wherein you have the view of the smoking area outside. We tried eating and sharing stories there but we felt too uncomfortable coz we felt we were being watched so i decided to get another table. I was lucky to get one right away coz the place was really full of people.

When we finally transferred, we continued to eat and make kuwento... :) We kept on checking the time coz we were worried that we might be late for the test. haha... We left Starbucks at around 12:00pm which was just right for us coz we later discovered that the traffic was building up in the campus coz the first batch of examinees were done aleady.

We listened to music and kept on chatting in the car on the way to the high school grounds. It took us 30 minutes to get to our destination. Man ang tagal!!! When we got there, we saw many familiar faces. There were lots of cute guys hehehe and tons of lovely females too :P

We parked in front of the flagpole area and stayed in the car first coz it was just too friggin' hot to line up along with the rest of the examinees. The line was uber long...As in whoa! We left the car after 15 minutes coz of some stupid spider with huge fangs that landed on my windshield. Creepy! So anyway, me and my friend parted ways coz our rooms were far apart.

I'm really glad I was able to spend time chillin' with my friend before the f*ckin' exam. It helped lessen my nervousness and anxiety.

So, here's the part where I took the test...(silence)...(yet again, the sound of silence)...tap*tap*...squeek*squeek*...(scribble...scribble...) *erase*erase*...(bite nails...)...
This went on for like four straight hours. Oh my God! I thought it would never end! I could practically feel my brain getting mashed to a pulp and getting drained out of my ears, Augh!
I was in a daze when I finished the test... It was so hard to believe that it was over na... Geez..That was the hardest test I ever took in my life...F*ckin' A...

I left Ateneo in a zombie-like trance...

When I got home, I called Mio to check if we had any gimik plans for the night. Sadly, he had plans na and *they were going to have dinner in Shangri La. (*They is sina Joe, Issa and Marla)
Gab was supposed to come but something happened. Things got kinda fuzzy then. I didn't come along for the dinner na anyway. Before Mio and the others left, I passed by his place to get my Bass guitar and Amplifier.

I went home muna and dropped off my stuff at my dad's place. I had dinner with my Dad in Max's Katipunan. We had a whole spring chicken, sweet and sour fish fillet and some deep fried shrimp. It was called *something* Rebosados. We ate for an hour then we left the place feeling full and satisfied. I was feeling a bit better na from the ACET by that time.

I called Mio after I dropped my dad home so i could know what time i could join up with them. Sadly, i had to wait for like 3 hours pa... So I had to find a way to pass the time...After much thought, I decided to drop by my friend's place near Shangri La. I stayed for only 30 minutes at my friend's place :) which was fine coz we were both tired narin from the day's activites. I drove around a bit before finally picking up sina Mio in Shang.

We decided to drive to Roxas and chill there in some open field and dance to music from my car. But before doing that, we picked up Merce in San Lo. Haha, finally after a loooong time, our barkada was complete + 1 person pa. Our Birthday Girl! Ms. Sweet Sixteen haha. We arrived in Roxas at around 12:00am already. Man, it was fun. We stayed in a field somewhere there :) heeh It's now our secret fun spot.

Basta, what happened there that night was a milestone in the history of our barkada. Everything was uber cool! And shocking all at once haha. I can't mention anything here coz i have sworn a vow of secrecy to the Katipuneros. Basta, that's it. We had to leave at around 1am coz that was the time of Mio's curfew. I did my best to reach his place on time so I really zoomed through EDSA at around 100kph. We reached Mio's at 1:30am which was 30 minutes past his curfew... :
Sadly, Mio and I got grilled. Well, Mio got grilled first then I'll be having my turn soon. I knew that it'd happen sooner or later. But it's fine.

We stayed in Mio's den for about an hour just chatting and bonding :) We all sang, played the guitar and teased each other...hehe :) Pero sadly, we had to leave at around 2:45am for Merce's place coz she was really bushed na. The night ended when I dropped sina Merce, Marla and Issa in La Vista.

It was a night to remeber for the barkada. :P It was a great way to end the stressfull day. I went home feeling blissful and content. Happy Birthday Issa!

More next time! :P Bye!

ACET really means "Ahhh! shit!" :) haha

I am now typing my last will and testament since I know I am going to die already from all the suspence this stupid ACET test is giving me... I mean AUGH!!! What the heck?!? All this waiting is so frustrating! I'm so wired up right now, frankly, I'm willing to take the friggin' test now!....(long pause)

(a ray of light suddenly appears and shines upon me out of the eternal darkness I'm in) :) (I smile)...Hahaha...(laughter fills my room) Hahahahahaha!!!....

Have I finally found some strange comfort/salvation fromthis current hellhole I'm in??? *NGERRK*
Haha wrong answer!

(Ladies and Gentlemen, I am so sorry to inform you that our writer/author/creator/owner of this Blog site has currently gone nuts...psycho...whacko...etc)

Pray for Him...

Hahaha I'll be blogging about Mio's birthday soon. Maybe after the ACET and that'd be IF I still have any gray matter left between my ears for typing. Adios to all! Good Night! Good Luck to ALL ACET-teers! :)

Exams... I can't take it anymore! :O

I am trying my goddamn best to study for tomorrow's exams. Note once again that I am TRYING... hehe I'm listening to Razorback and reading my TD book at the same time and I don't think that's a good combination for learning. I wish the exams would end already. Hayyy...
One day, I'll never have to take exams anymore :) Man, I'm looking forward to that day. The day I'll graduate from my masters course. I can't wait for my first paycheck either! Man, I have so much to look forward to. There are still so many things I'd like to accomplish in life. I pray I live long enough to live my dreams.

Last night, I was surfing the net and I came across a really gruesome website. It's dedicated to everything about death, suicide and torture. In that website, I was able to see the Nepalese hostage getting executed via beheading. I shouldn't have watched that video. It gives me the creeps. I can't believe there are still such acts being done in society. It's all so jarring and shocking. I pray for the soul of that man...He died a horrible death away from his own country and loved ones...

Only two more days left of this stupid exam week and it's freedom! Finally, the first term will end. I'll probably hang with Mio and E.J. this Friday after the dreaded Math exams. I really hate math! As in hate it! grrr...

Oh yeah...Don't you just love it when you get messages from your close friends? I mean, it just shows that that person is thinking about you. You actually matter to him or her. I'm glad for having my friends. They make me realize that life's so much more beautiful.

Anyways, I gotta run. I still have much to study. Once again, I shall be burning the midnight oils. :) Peace out!
