Hurrah for fate!
Bwahahahahahahahaha.
Geez. Asians. :P

It was just probably because of certain biological occurences within me that I was all cranky the whole weekend.
But I gave up my old method of release (the ol' use of thy lactrimal glands) and opted to write about everything I chewed on and took in for the past couple of nights.
And in the last part of my journal entry, I said a prayer addressed to the Big Guy up there.
There came a point when I wanted to question the tiring cycle he'd put me in. But for some reason, the pen didnt quite agree with my chagrin.

Somehow I knew things were gonna get better.
And they just did. :)

Faith and optimism are indeed enticing.
Try them more often, and youll see how far you can go with them. :)

I love people-watching.
My school bus isnt exactly brand new (in fact, I think its my age), so we put our windows down in the afternoon. I dont mind having my hair look like a battered broom after every ride and being stared at by passersby.

I enjoy the sight of little kids playing tag in the streets (makes me look back to my "tagu-taguan"/"langit-lupa" days), Nanays busy scolding their young boys for being all dirty from playing basketball (my Mom does it all the time), students with thirst-quenching Coke bottles in hand by Aling Nena's sari-sari store, the Mamang Guard saluting and faking a smile for Mang Robert, a rich teen with a red car zooming past me, pretty college girls wearing Nursing uniforms while being stared at by the Banana vendor...and the list goes on.

They may not be comparable to the Incas (my dreams of reaching the ruins of Machu Picchu are kicking in), Brangelina (if youre up to date with the latest Hollywood news, youll know what Im talking about), or Manny Pacquaio (our most celebrated hero since Darna), but it is evident that these people have their own stories to tell.

Im just amazed by how everyone is made the star of his own show. No artsy angles. No scripts. Just one roving camera that is the person's perspective and - "Action!" - theyre on.

Watching people go about their daily lives is fun.
But I bet watching my biography on some imaginary-magical-out-of-this-world film would be hilarious. :P

***
Kung Hei Fat Choi (how do you spell it?) by the way! :)
Its the year of the Fire Dog I think. And they say dogs are lucky.
Image hosting by Photobucket
Ive never actually had one. :( My Mom's allergic and my brother has asthma. :(
And Im scared of dogs too, coz I dont know how to act around them. :( Lol.
After I graduate...I MUST have one like it. Haha.

Just the grad song for Music, the Intrams, and the Fil play to go.
In 2 months were outta here Seniors! :P

Amidst all the slogan-making and homily-creating, someone taught me a lesson I have now shoved into my head.

"...ang piliin mo yung mas mahal ka...hindi yung mas mahal mo..."

my muse :D

A bizarre sensation pervades a relationship of pretense. No truth seems true. A simple morning's greeting and response appear loaded with innuendo and fraught with implications. . . . Each nicety becomes more sterile and each withdrawal more permanent.

email galore
These came from emails...
Cant help but post them here. Truth caught my attention. Haha.

Does your name begin with: D
Once you get it into your head that you want someone, you move full-steam ahead in your suit. You do not give up your quest easily. You are nurturing and caring. If someone has a problem, this turns you on. You are highly passionate, loyal, and intense in your involvements, sometimes possessive and jealous. You are very sharp and talented, often with a sense of humour. When people bother to look deep inside, they cannot resist what they see. You are stimulated by the eccentric and unusual, having a free and open attitude. You get jealous of other people and lose your temper.

Does your name begin with: N
You are emotional and intense. When involved in a relationship, you throw your entire being into it. Nothing stops you. There are no holds barred. You are all-consuming and crave someone who is equally passionate and intense. You believe in total freedom. You are willing to try anything and everything. Your supply of energy is inexhaustible. You want to be pampered and know how to pamper your mate. You also enjoy mothering your mate. You often have the greatest love affairs all by yourself, in your head. You are very imaginative.

ARIES
Turn Ons

Aries are naturally active and vibrant people and they have affinity for such people too. You will have to increase your pace to be in step with them. Remember they leave tortoises and snails way behind without even glancing at them once. They like and appreciate frank and straightforward persons. With them you can be your true self that is no pretenses (but dont try your luck being over frank- they are volatile). If you are in love with Ram, then you have to show your enthusiasm in all their activities (you can always yawn later).

Turn Offs

Do not tell an Aries that s/he may be wrong lest you may stir a storm in a teacup. But instead do what you feel is right and of course do not take the credit for the work done well. Aries people are very faithful and passionate lovers. Do not give air to the smoldering fire within them by making them jealous. No flirtations or fooling around with others in their presence unless of course you wish to write your death wish (you will be granted).

My zodiac sign is Aries, but Danielle and I think we were supposed to have been born on each other's birthdays. She's the Aries. Im the Piscean.

Pisces
Turn Ons

Pisces are very sensitive and charming people. If you are looking for someone who is understanding and can understand your feelings then you have met the right person. You should appreciate their feelings too and in the time you need them, they will help you. Pisces have keenly developed sixth sense and have great intuitive powers. Their hunches may usually be on the mark. But they can exhaust their physical and mental energies. They are born dreamers and you can build palaces with your dream lover (only in real life, it may become a little difficult preposition).

Turn Offs

Pisces are dreamers and you should not expect them to have worldly ambitions. They are not materialistic in nature. It is not that they like living below the poverty line, but they have no earnest desire to accumulate wealth. They are very sensitive and you have to be always careful about their feelings. The fishes are capable of drowning you in tears (even men born under the sign). Pisces people are very intuitive but do not depend on them to make decisions on important matters.

Did you know that...
those who appear to be very strong in heart, are real weak and most susceptible?
those who spend their time protecting others are the ones that really need someone to protect them?
the three most difficult things to say are: "I love you" "Im sorry" and "help me?"
those who dress inr ed are more confident in themselves?
those who dress in yellow are those that enjoy their beauty?
those who dress in black are those who want to be unnoticed and need your help and understanding?
when you help someone, the help is returned in two folds?
its easier to say what you feel in writing than saying it to someone in the face? but did you know that it has more value when you say it to their face?
if you ask for something in faith, your wishes are granted?
you can make your dreams come true, like falling in love, becoming rich, staying healthy, if you ask for it by faith, and if you really knew, youd be surprised by what you could do?

on a mission
ivi should be working on my film reviews now but...

Ive never really actually thought about it until now.
To have been so blessed enough to have a glimpse of what youve been wanting all along is overwhelming. But I didnt know how even more mind-blowing it would be to let it all just pass you by.

In fact, Im at a loss for words.
I cant even seem to think straight, now that the roads ahead are tied up.

After talking to a few friends who knew what was going on, I realized that I have shunned these thoughts long enough.
I tried my best to just let it make its way through the end, but turns out I couldnt handle it.

You understood after all. Beyond my expectations even.
I was the one who didnt. Coz I tried not to.
But now that I do...

I may have had let one hand go, but now I know, letting go of the other is out of the question.
Im on a mission.
And accomplishing it is a must. :)

i need ME back
ive been screwing up a hell lot lately.

first, the thursday night fiasco (which I so regret doing).O:
ive forgotten all about it already, but it seems like everyone else hasnt yet.
i just want this week to end so that people will finally get over it.
(oh, and i hate the fact that theyve got evidence too. haha. sht.O: delete them please, maawa kayo O: lol)

then, there are my grades.
for the first time ever in my high school life, my Mom commented on my grades.
they usually dont say anything to me whenever they receive my report card, but my second term grades sure caught my Mom's attention. believe it or not, the couple of questions that my Mom asked sunk to me.

"what happened?"
O:
I had no answer to give. Coz even I didnt know.

Goodbye top 10. :( :( :(

(what made me laugh though, was the fact that the teachers still gave me a conduct grade of A :D woohoo! haha)

ive been stressing myself out lately too over unimportant, counterproductive things.
and that sure hasnt been helpful either.
my priorities are all over the place. grr.O:

why am i even ranting about this here, you ask?
coz i want to let this all sink in so i can do something about it.

i want the old Nikki back.
oh wait, I want an improved Nikki.
thats what i should be working on.

wish me luck! :)

***
We officially declare Senior-G as professional crammers.
We crammed our Math & Science classroom decoration thingy in 2 days.
The first time the judges were supposed to enter our classroom, we begged Sir Ezrel to convince them to check ours after recess, coz if they saw how much of a mess the inside still was(?), we wouldve died of embarassment right there and then.
Good thing we managed to work our butts off and sort of pulled everything together.
Sir Ezzie even said the judges stayed the longest in our classroom. >:D Haha.
Win or lose, Im still gonna be proud of my class.
Good job, guys! :)

***
Will be staying away from excessive YM-ing from now on.
Having this PC just right at the foot of my bed caused me a lot of sleepless nights and report card points.
Haha.

See, Im working on the "new and improved" Nikki already. :D

Happy Birthday IC!

wish ko lang
"Your beauty should not come from outward adornment, instead, it should be that of your inner self, the unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is of great worth in God's sight. " - Peter 3:3-4

TV-watching has been rare for me these past few weeks - months even.
But the moment I turned the television on yesterday afternoon, I didnt think Id be hit by something so beautiful.

Meet Cring Cring and her sister.
Image hosting by PhotobucketImage hosting by Photobucket

I wasnt really able to pay much attention to the details coz I was too busy holding back my tears.
Shown on the screen were two young ladies with underdeveloped bodies.
Their arms were literally twisted and their legs were bent in a way one could never imagine.
But despite those deformities, I was struck by how they both had smiles on their faces.
For every camera shot, a smile could be seen.

They were born to very poor family. Out of the 5 children, only 2 of them were beyond normal.

Image hosting by Photobucket
Because of their condition, they have been deprived of many things that normal teenagers go through. But if there's one thing they dont lack - it would be love from their family.

When asked, "Bakit ka nakangiti?"
Cring Cring answered, "Kasi alam ko love ako ni Papa..."

***
If only everyone could look past everything they lack, and appreciate what they already have, then maybe genuine smiles emanating true happiness wont be too hard to find.

If only we could all stop judging people for their physical appearance, then maybe we'd all be reminded that a person's real worth lies far beneath the surface.
***

Cring Cring turned 18 the day they shot this episode of Wish Ko Lang on GMA.
They gave both of them lots of gifts and surprises.

Ill soon be turning 18 too.
Ive been thinking of what extra-special I can do for my debut aside from a fancy party that only I can really enjoy.
Now I know what to do. :)

thursday night
Thursday was crazy.

One off my list.
And no, Im not proud of it either. Haha.
It all just happened so fast. And by fast, I mean fast.
I dont even remember half of what was happening around me.
Good thing I got to pull myself together (sort of) and manage to act sane until I got home.

All I know is that Im super thankful to my friends who took care of me.
I love you guys to pieces. :)

And despite the unconscious and embarassing blunders, I still had fun.
That surely was one heck of a night.

Follow your heart?

So they say your head is put on top of everything else for a reason - for us to think first before we jump into anything, to deem on profound thoughts before getting something done, to use our brains primarily before anything else. But still, we should admit that these things are pretty hard to do at times. What if your heart is opposing whatever your head is telling you? Should you cling to the helpless feeling you get every time you encounter these clashes of verdicts? You are magnetized to whatever your heart is telling you for it is YOUR heart. It epitomizes the inner voice in you, which we perhaps should care to warily listen to.

Stupid decisions? Well yes, weve all made them, went through them, and learned from them. Thats the good part – the component of learning from ones mistakes. Why bother to take risks and endanger your well being when you cant even learn how to put to heart all the lessons you’ve come to ascertain from your blunders? But does this mean that we should just let ourselves leap into decisions we hastily want to get over with? No. Whatever happens, think first. It wouldnt hurt if you take a moment to rearrange that flooded mind of yours of the thoughts which are jumbled in it. Yes, perhaps the beating of your heart may be more heard than the ringing of the bell from your head, but hey...listen to both of them. Perhaps if you hear out both sides then you may be able to find the answers you’re looking for. Answers to questions you’ve been dying to resolve, answers which may hopefully lead to bliss and contentment, answers you need to decide.

Time. You need not count the ticking of the clock to realize that time is essential. Maybe this is what you need. Time to think, to reflect, to simply lie for a while and stare at reality. Every passing moment may help condition both your heart and mind. Who knows? Maybe when the time comes, you may eventually find what you need, find what you want, and find what your heart and mind is looking for. Ü

When I checked my mail this morning, someone had commented on my other post (a poem), and sent me a message yesterday as a reply to that post.

"I was reading your blog about following your heart, I just wanted to agree with you, I think that there are two sides to the one self, one driven by emotions and the other driven by logic. Our clever brains can tell us that a person we are interacting with is bad news, it can pickup on delicate subtleties in our behavior and warn us well in advance, but our emotions can overrule all of those thought processes. If every time a man looked at a woman he thought about the byproducts of pregnancy and the 18 years and the thousands of dollars to spend a life with a woman and father her children, our species may cease to exist. No, we need a heavy regiment of thursday night drunkard one nighters to give this population of ours a poignant zing in our stew. You seem lovely."

~Robbie

He hit me right in the heart...and head with what he said.
At least someone from somewhere in the world agrees with me. :)

the DORK that i am
*Seems like things have turned a few degrees back to almost-normal. And Im glad. :)

Image hosted by Photobucket.com
i am such a dork

*Ill be going to La Salle Greenhills on Thursday with Jana, Lav, and Joanna to participate in the "Annual Girls' Interscholastic Math Competition". How predictable it is to have LSGH host such an all-girls event. Haha. Zobel came in 1st runner up last 2003. Then on 2004, Zobel bagged the first place (Millicent Tan's batch O:). Last year, we werent as fortunate, so this year I think theyre pressing us to "work harder" so we can get the "championship title" back. (Notice the quotation marks? Im trying to make it sound exciting. Its like comparing numbers and figures to rebounds and goals. Haha) I was assigned to Geometry, and gahd, even Sir Laqui said its going to be the hardest subject matter to be tackled (or something like that). The fact that I never liked Geom in the first place, and the thought of having to memorize postulates and all sorts of blahblahs again arent helping either. But because I dont want to end up letting my "teammates" and the Math teachers down (Im sure everyone else wont care anyway, haha), I better put off some precious YM-time now and start frying my head with m-a-t-h.

*I replied to my Mom a while ago and told her that I am being considered as a candidate to represent our school in the "Search for Muntinlupa's Ten Outstanding Students" for 2006. Being the realist that I am, I dont really expect to be chosen. Knowing how much my other batchmates have accomplished throughout their high school lives makes me realize that my chances are way beyond slim. Id rather be rooting for my friends, especially my best friend -whom I am certain has an uber great chance of being acclaimed as one of the best-est around- and even that fills me up with pride. Im just glad that letter from Ms Padua came. Thats more than enough for me, coz I already got my prize:

Mom's reply: "Talaga? Sobra mo naman ako talaga pinapasaya. You bring good news to me almost everyday. The Lord really is good."

He sure is. :)

*SI Circle 96 reunited!
After a few months of not meeting for our Circle Day, we finally met up in the Cadlum again during recess. Too bad we werent complete. :( But its always fun to have these guys around. Im definitely going to miss these people when I leave Zobel.

the cause is you
What I need now is a big PAUSE.

I just want to put everything on hold and take things one at a time. Schoolwork and a whole lot of other things have been piling up lately, and I dont think Ill be able to handle it. When youve got no one else helping you, and when youve got the whole weight solely on your shoulders, you will have thoughts of giving up.

And the cause isnt helping either. I better not veer off what I set my mind to. I better not lose focus. I better not...

Im actually anticipating for this schoolyear to end just to get it over with. Time dilation would be dandy and fine if I could use it on the fun, carefree, untroubled goings-on with my friends. But when youre just waiting for that clock to tick again before your very eyes, it gets boring eventually after the 343242th millisecond.

Modern Dance. Science project. Classroom Decoration Contest. Music grad song. Counterpoint article. Review for the Ateneo Math Competition on Thursday. Justin's party. Practices. My nowhere-to-be-found/non-existent prom dress. Prom. Grad ball. Birthday. Etc, etc, etc.

Im not being very optimistic now, I know.
But I soon will be. As soon as this is all over.

*Sigh*

Hope its all worth it. I dont want to spend my last 7 weeks of high school stressing over things I shouldnt really be worrying about.

*Runs to the fridge and grabs pack of Chocnut*
Ahh..my good ol' lover. Makes me feel loved every time. :)

[-EDIT-]

*a few minutes later*
Im A-okay now. :)
Nothing beats having friends who are always ready to let some air in you when you feel like blowing up already.
Thank you guys :)

makes sense to me
Q: How come tears come out of our eyes when we cry?
A: Tears flow from our eyes when we cry because they contain chemicals and hormones produced by our bodies. When we become upset, our brains and bodies overreact and work overtime by producing chemicals and hormones. Crying helps eliminate these extra chemicals that we don't need. The chemicals and hormones disappear from our body through the form of tears. As our tears flow, they sooth our sadness or distress by withdrawing these chemical agents.

I am Filipino.

My AP homework. This is what Sir Brian and his lectures do to me. :)

Many have asked, "Are you tired of being Filipino?" And conceivably, because of the undying toil that our people have been through for the past four centuries, more and more are answering "yes." Its sad to think how state honor and self-esteem has been slowly overshadowed by the harsh distortion of society and its ideologies. That mere question in the beginning only instigates the line of reasoning, "how could other people believe in us if we don’t even believe in ourselves?" That, I believe, is what we Filipinos lack the most: national pride.

But despite that, as faint as it may seem, I also believe that hope and anticipation still resides within us. You will see this in an ordinary minimum wage earner, like a taxi driver returning a wallet full of thousands of pesos to the owner, or in OFWs who opt to take on the job of having to take care of other people’s children while not being able to do the same to their own loved ones back home - just to be able to send money to provide food on their tables every waking day. Simple as they are, knowing that these people with unyielding principles come from a third world country consoles me for I am reassured that the blood of our heroes still runs through the veins of the Filipinos of today.

Image hosted by Photobucket.com

Perhaps it rarely happens, but it has definitely happened time and time again. It happened after Ninoy Aquino was killed, when we protested against France’s nuclear testing, when we mourned for Flor Contemplacion, when we welcomed the Pope, when the whole country cheered for the SEA Games atheletes, when "Pinoy Ako" became our national anthem, and when we rallied in the streets of EDSA over and over again. The Filipinos have displayed exceptional unity in the face of adversity throughout history. And if only that happens again, one that’ll last for more than just a night or a day, one that will last even when there are no more people or cameras in the streets, one that will not require the President of the country to step down, one that will surpass all cultural and social divisions, then perhaps maybe, just maybe, all Filipinos can be proud of who they are again.

Sa isang anekdota ni Rizal, ikinuwento nya nang minsang lapitan si Pilosopong Tasio ng dalawang bata. Isa sa mga bata ang may ikinukubling ibon sa kamay. Para subukin ang talino ng matanda, pinahulaan nila ditto kung ang ibon ay buhay o patay. Kung sasabihin ni Pilosopong Tasio na buhay ang ibon, sasakalin ng bata ang leeg nito para pabulaanan sya. Kung sasabihin nya naming ang ibon ay patay, papakawalan lang ito ng bata para ipakitang nagkamali sya. Buhay ba o patay? Ano man ang isagot ni Tasio, mapapahiya sya sa mga bata. Kung kaya ang sinabi ng maalam na matanda, "Ang sagot ay nasa inyong kamay." (Mga Kwentong Barbero ni Bob Ong)

The answer is in our hands.

Hundreds of years old, over 80 languages, 80 million people, 7107 islands, north of the equator, south-western part of the Pacific, that is the Philippines. Ang Bayang Magiliw. Perlas ng Silanganan. Ang Lupang Hinirang.

The Spaniards, Americans, and the Japanese have long gone, but nothing much has changed. We are the “only Catholic country in Asia” for a reason. Let us be the ones to dare to be great, so that once were asked yet again what makes us proud to be Filipino, we can answer – "us."

ADMU

LAST NAME: Librada
FIRST NAME: Dominique
MIDDLE NAME: De Chavez
STATUS: Accepted
COURSE: AB EC-H (Eco Honors)

Ive never really imagined myself as an Atenean. Yeah, my color used to be blue (Montessori), but I guess my being green-blooded for the past 12 years has gotten to me. Once the option is laid in front of you, you just cant resist peeking into whatever it has to offer. Economics Honors was my first choice, and it took me a few minutes of worrying (with Awie during the SI retreat) and a bit of hopping and jumping before the whole thing sunk in. Marge called Chrissie up to ask if we (the other staffers) passed. I pleaded Marge not to tell me. So did Awie. The others waited patiently. I could tell from Marge's face that she wasnt about to relay bad news, but still, my heart was pounding like crazy. After the call, Margie told us the results anyway.
"You passed Eco-Honors!"

Wheeeeeeeee!

I texted my Mom right away as I was resonating personal pride and joy for my achievement. She, at first, thought I applied for Management Engineering, which is supposed to be the hardest course to take in ADMU. But I dont remember putting ME as a course, so I think there was a glint of disappointment there in her part. Just like me, she doesnt settle for mediocrity, and always aims for the highest possible attainment of/to anything. Imagine the pressure.
But anyway, I came home early today from SI since I have to finish up on some schoolwork.
My Dad picked me up and I told him I passed. The fact that after I talked, it took him 20 minutes to ask another question about Ateneo, made me sense he was proud of me. :)
I arrived home just a few minutes ago, and well, to cut the long narration short, my Mom was happy too :) And thats all I need to make up for all the nights I spent worrying.

2 down. 2 to go. :)

this is not happening...oh wait, it is. :)
Ill be in school the whole weekend for Circle 103's Search-In retreat.
This'll be our second to the last retreat, so might as well make the most out of it.

Oh, and Im gonna be losing sleep again. Owel.
I sure hope itll be all worth it.

Keep the candle burning! :)

x----x

DLSUCET results came out.
ACET to come out really soon. (Jan 7 or 10)
Same for USTET.
And well, *tanananan* theres UP.

UP. Peyups. UP.
*faints*

My Mom's been having second thoughts as to where she wants me to study. She's always wanted me to study in UP. Despite of the whole "masa" feel of the university, it still is the best one we have, she argues. And I, on the other hand, thinks I do need a whole new environment for my boring life, so I have always been okay with the idea of being an "Iskolar ng Bayan."

But because my 1st choice was BS-BAA (business admin+accountancy), my chances of getting into primary course is like...somethingpercent. Ive also heard some alumni-stories about how only half of the people who take that course actually graduate. Ngaar. (I dont even want to think about it. Itll only depress me)

...oh wait, why the hell am I writing about this? O:

Must. Not. Faint. Again.

Hahahha.
UP's makin' me crazy already. Even without me actually being in it yet. Geez. O:

Lord, I need you. *prays real hard*

x---x

Speaking of Peyups, Lala gave me this URL a while ago.
I visit Peyups.com almost everytime I go online, so I was familiar with the article.
So anyway, if youre interested in some mush and depth written by "iskolars" (I hate those tagalized english words), click on the line below. :)

click me

Wala lang.

*Due to mushy-sounding stuff that I wrote which gave off a "bigs" vibe daw according to someone (haha), I edited that part.

Like I said,
"Im not even "in l-o-v-e", so how can I be er,"out" of it?"
hahaha.*

Anyway, byee now.
I am off to the wonderful world of PE-powerpoint-making. >:)
See you, my dear WWW, on Sunday. :)

x---x

If I were to pick my favoritest people in the world, youd have to be one of them.
HAPPY 18th BIRTHDAY JEANNE! LOVE YOU!

I think im in love...not! lol.
Catching yourself re-reading your conversations.
Smirking at the sight of the name in your phone's inbox.
Laughing your ass off while teasing each other endlessly.
Actually knowing that your parents will approve.
Daydreaming.
(Night)dreaming.
Hating.
Learning.
Being obnoxiously alluring.
Insanity.
Memories.
Firsts.

Not good signs. :X

(Oh, and dont bother ask me what this is about. Its not for me to answer. It aint my diagnosis. :P)

By the way, meet my 198372893278th crush:
Mike Vogel

I was watching Grind on HBO earlier today, and next to Aaron Carter, he's my second blondie celebrity crush. Notice the long hair, the nice eyes, and the mysterious/bad boy vibe? Nyaha.

Hotness! :P~

Just enjoying my being a teenage girl and having the right to fantasize. :)

warning: not for non-DSL users
It took me half an hour to choose which pictures to send to the yearbook staff.
Yes, thats right, I only sent my God-forsaken snapshots to the oh-so-hardworking yearbook people today. :D Responsible me. :D

Ive been meaning to write about the typical the-year-that-was-for-me, or my-new-years-resolution, or im-looking-forward-to-2006-because, but it turns out that for the past few days of twenty o'six, I havent exactly been having my best days (and nights).

Hope I find my muse soon. My mind's ready to burst with all the memories, lessons, and thoughts that have accumulated the whole year, but I guess my mood hasnt really been up to it. Bleh.

So for the meantime...since I already got to choose the pics I want to see in my whole page in the yearbook (btw, I am so NOT anticipating seeing my grad pics, waah), let me just post some of my favoritest pics of 2005. :)
