Jana and Chrissie's birthdays are coming up. This'll probably be the last birthday celebration (for them) with the whole barkada. Just the thought of that breaks my heart.
We kind of gave away our supposed surprise for them. Nag-plan ba naman kami sa harap nila. Hehe. Having had watched One Tree Hill (Season 2) last night on ETC gave me the idea of letting the 2 celebrants (or is it "celebrators?") go on a clue-hunt: complete with dares, trivias, and gifts. Hope we pull it off :P
The whole birthday fuss got Danielle and I thinking of our own upcoming debuts. (Its in 6 months, malapit na rin yun, hehe). People have already planned to go to Bora on March 27 (my 18th birthday) so hassle if I celebrate it here, coz then, no one will be left here in Manila to come to the party. Since Da and I plan to celebrate together, we were considering throwing a party on the week after our 3rd term finals - the week before the grad pracs - but then that would be a too-early celebration for my birthday. We were also thinking of celebrating it early April...1, 2 or 3...but then that would be too late already, and people would be hard to reach. o:
Haay. Owel. Bahala na.
We got to think of cool concepts though. If we were to celebrate in Bora, we'd throw the party by the shore: complete with an uber big bonfire (just like the one they did in The OC, hehe), loud sounds, loads of food, and fancy lights. Add to that the breeze of the sea, the sun setting in the background, and guys with their suits on (without polos inside, para pakita ang mga abs, haha), and girls in fancy dresses (pero syempre mas "bongga" yung sa debutantes, haha). Instead of the usual 18 candles and gifts and stuff, we'd have 18 songs, 18 dances, 18 favorite things, 18 secrets-revealed, etc. With that setting, the debutantes wouldnt be the only people who'd have fun. We want our guests and friends to have fun too.
Watcha think? :P

Go Zobel!
We got to watch part of the soccer team's game today. *All hail the athletes*
Fio, Pao, and I were called to the guidance office this afternoon for this "exit interview" (its this routine-interview that they give Senior students). We got to talk about a lot of stuff regarding Zobel, its programs, curriculum, environment...college, careers, and proper English usage (haha). We also got to chat about Zobel's support for its sports programs...and the lack thereof. Aside from the Track team (lol), the soccer team has been unjustly undervalued by the school. Sila na nga yung laging nanalo, sila na nga yung matitino, sila na nga yung nagpapakahirap... and yet the administration doesnt even seem to notice them. If not for their hard-to-miss coach (who must be the only person who can legally curse and smoke inside the campus), their undying dedication, and their exceptional athleticism, they'd probably lose the will to keep on playing. But I admire all these athletes (soccer, tennis, swimming, baseball, TRACK, lol...) for still having the heart to continue on doing what they love.
(Hope I dont sound subversive here. Hehe. I still love mah Alma Mater. =P)
(Nasingit lang yung last pic namin ni Nino. Ang panget kasi pag 3 lang eh. haha.)
Ang cute ng teachers kanina. They had these "Animo La Salle" stuff pa. Sayang di ko napicturan si Mama Ludz, Sir Flu, and Sir Xyburt! Its nice to know that even they show their support for their students. :P

"Being happy doesn't mean that everything is perfect. It just means you've decided to see life beyond the imperfections. So don't say you're happy coz everything's alright. Be happy coz everything sucks but you're doing just fine."

Ive always loved this song. But I love it even more now that Ive read the lyrics.
Turn your speakers on and sing with me! Haha. :P
Now that she’s back in the atmosphere
With drops of jupiter in her hair, hey, hey
She acts like summer and walks like rain
Reminds me that there’s time to change, hey, hey
Since the return from her stay on the moon
She listens like spring and she talks like june, hey, hey
Tell me did you sail across the sun
Did you make it to the milky way to see the lights all faded
And that heaven is overrated
Tell me, did you fall for a shooting star
One without a permanent scar
And did you miss me while you were looking for yourself out there
Now that she’s back from that soul vacation
Tracing her way through the constellation, hey, hey
She checks out mozart while she does tae-bo
Reminds me that there’s room to grow, hey, hey
Now that she’s back in the atmosphere
I’m afraid that she might think of me as plain ol’ jane
Told a story about a man who is too afraid to fly so he never did land
Tell me did the wind sweep you off your feet
Did you finally get the chance to dance along the light of day
And head back to the milky way
And tell me, did venus blow your mind
Was it everything you wanted to find
And did you miss me while you were looking for yourself out there
Can you imagine no love, pride, deep-fried chicken
Your best friend always sticking up for you even when I know you’re wrong
Can you imagine no first dance, freeze dried romance five-hour phone conversation
The best soy latte that you ever had and me
Tell me did the wind sweep you off your feet
Did you finally get the chance to dance along the light of day
And head back toward the milky way
Tell me did you sail across the sun
Did you make it to the milky way to see the lights all faded
And that heaven is overrated
Tell me, did you fall for a shooting star
One without a permanent scar
And did you miss me while you were looking for yourself
