My First Day at Senior Year in High School

whew! My first day at 4th year high school is not the one that was expecting it to be. It was a day like any other, with different visions on what might be in store for me this year. An the story goes like this…

 

JUNE 15 - I woke up at 5:00 early morning from a very bad sleep (because I got a bit excited about this day) but nevertheless jump out on my bed and hurried to the dining room to see my delicious breakfast – corned beef with egg and cheese. YUM! I can already feel that same old routine, which I’ll be doing again and again until this school year ends.

 

Ate breakfast, Bathe in cold morning water, brushed my teeth, waxed my hair, prepared my things… Check, check, check,check and check. with my allowance given to me and some little extra things to freshen me up I’m ready to go to school!. A perfect weather for a first day, not sunny and not raining. I walked along the tricycle station nearby and zoomed my way at our school which, did I mention, was only  a walking distance from our house and I completely forgot about it that it was too late… WELCOME STUDENTS. Yippee! I’m on the school!

 

My room is at the 3rd floor. Section Judah. It was the first time that I didn’t bother asking who my classmates were because of our elective last year which was JOURNALISM so my classmates were still them with some slight changes on the line up.

 

whew! my room is nearly at the very end of the corridor, I feel excited with every step closer to my classroom…

Noisy.

Happy.

Crazy.

That’s what the room was like.

I saw my old school mates already talking about how they miss each other and what was their summer vacation like. Yes, good old times for everyone. I took my “Kapitan Sino” book that I bought at Powerbooks in Trinoma just to keep me busy whenever I get bored.

 

The time was 8:30 when our adviser came into our classroom to orient us at 4th year life. She is a Filipino teacher, humorous, not too strict, a fine teacher. She talked about her experiences in teaching at school and she also told us some funny stories which the class enjoyed very much!

 

All is doing good!…

But Too good to be true…

 

It was recess when we found out that 5 persons from our class must transfer to another section so that the number of students will be balanced an to satisfy the number of students per section, this surprised everyone and disliked it, there has to be another way to this problem, but alas somebody has got to go… While everyone was still stunned about the situation and no one likes to volunteer to leave the class. There is only one way left to solve this problem.

 

Qualifying test.

 

About JOURNALISM of course. And the bottom 5 that will be the lowest in the class will have to leave the classroom and transfer to the other section. Everybody was stunned about the exam, we must do our best to stay at the class. The test is divided into three categories:

COPYREADING
EDITORIAL WRITING
Subject – Verb Agreement

 

And it started today. June 16

So Ill just have to wait the results tomorrow to see if I made it on the class!

I have my fingers-crossed

 

 

…And that was my very unusual first day at 4th year high school…

SO HOW DID YOUR FIRST DAY TURN OUT!?

Back to School Tips

Aawww man! Summer’s over already? It’s like I haven’t felt the summer break! I still have many more sights to see and many posts to write! Oh well, you can’t control time right (…can you? xD). Here’s to another 9 months of studying, project-making, essay-writing, and another painstaking season, how cool is that! (…I know right? xD). Anyways, going back to school is the big thing right now (right next to Hayden Kho… just kidding xD). Students and parents rush to nearby schools to enroll like a celebrity just popped out of nowhere (Yes, I know what is feels xD), malls are filled with notebooks, pens, pad papers, and other paraphernalia, friends spending the last days of summer by “texting-to-sawa” all night long… et cetera. et cetera. So are you ready for your first day? NOT YET? well better take your new panda pen and that sterling notebook and jot these tips to survive your first day!

I’m going to focus on the 3 important parts: YOUR THINGS. YOUR UNIFORM. YOURSELF.

• MAKE A CHECKLIST – make a checklist to let you know what things to buy [ex. number of notebooks, book names and authors, plastic cover, art/construction papers for that color-coded notebooks, etc.] AND THAT IS WHAT I’M GOING TO DO HERE! :)

1 WEEK LEFT:

• THINGS – As the saying goes “an early bird gets the worm” , or sort of, just be as early as you can if you’re going to buy your stuff, you’ll never know if the supply of those notebooks will last long, or that bag that you were planning to buy. But do consider the time the mall opens :)
• UNIFORM – whether it’s RTW or pre-made, have enough number of uniforms to satisfy the weeks and months of schooling
• YOURSELF – This is the time to relax! (well, despite the little pressures of all that buying and stuff) hey it’s your last week!

5 DAYS LEFT:

• THINGS – Now that you’ve bought your supplies, make them your own by writing your name or personalize them with your artistic designs.
• UNIFORM – Buy a patch at your school so that I can be stitched, washed, ironed and ready to go!
• YOURSELF – Take care of yourself. Have proper hygiene (well you do this every time right?) so we can prevent those annoying last minute pimple breakouts, if you want (…and got the money…) you can visit your dermatologist for a check up so that your face will be in tip top shape when the big day arrives.

3 DAYS LEFT:

• THINGS – Make sure everything's in place. Just double check everything to make sure
• UNIFORM – Just leave it there in the closet, It’ll be fine! :)
• YOURSELF – This day is perfect for any last body and hair fixes: Haircut, facial treatments (you’re rich!), rebondings, and whatever you girls do. xD

THE DAY BEFORE:

• THINGS – Prepared and ready to bring
• UNIFORM – Laid down on your bed ironed, pants/dress spiffy and clean, shoes polished, socks freshened. But don’t over do it, it’s not your wedding or anything. xD
• YOURSELF – Eat well and sleep early ‘coz you’ll have a busy day tomorrow! :)

FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL:

• Well this is about YOURSELF now:
  • Wake Up, breakfast, Take a bath, toothbrush, uniform, things and you’re ready to go to school! (haha, does this daily routine look familiar to you? Do you feel the school days now? xD)
  • Greet everyone with a smile in your face – hey! you’ll never know when you will meet a friend. :)
  • Find your room – of course you need to look for your home at school right?
  • Meet up with friends – hey! for after 3 months you haven’t seen them! why not give them some quality talk about your vacation experiences or jut give them a visit at their rooms at recess. They’ll love it!
  • Leave a (good) Mark – No, I’m not encouraging you to vandalize school property. Since this is the first time you’ll meet your teacher why not make your first impression a good one. As they say “First impression lasts”
  • Get to know your teachers – Don’t always trust rumors to students think about “Mrs. Masungnit” get to know them yourself, you’ll never know maybe Mrs. Masungit will be your most favorite teacher this year!
  • End the first day right – Make sure everything's alright when leaving the room, you don’t want to start a fight at the first day, would you?

I HOPE YOU ENJOYED READING AND I HOPE YOU’LL HAVE A WONDERFUL FIRST DAY AT SCHOOL! I’m hoping too you know! ={ haha

Hayy buhay… Lunes…

Talaga naman! npakahirap maging estudyante lalo na pag patapos na ang school year, kasi eto ang panahon na magsasama sama lahat ng mga projects sa ibat-ibang subjects (9 to be exact). Sisimulan ko na nga ngaun gawin ung sa TLE namin tapos isu2nod ko ung MAPEH tapos ung sa Filipino, Computer, Social, Chemistry… etc etc! di bale na nga… pagkatapos naman ng mga paghihirap ay may magandang matatanggap haha ang drama… aysus

Being a Student is EASY, if and only if you know the RULES. We students must know that the teacher is right, be we must have to keep in mind that a teacher is a person, nagkakamali din naman sila katulad ng lahat na tao sa mundo, so we must understand them for what they are, and what they want them to do for us. Para sa atin naman din yon, oo aaminin ko na minsan naasar ako sa mga teachers ko dati kasi andaming pinapagawa pero hindi ako magiging ganito kung hindi dahil sa mga yon, haha tigilan na naten to baka maikwento ko pa ang “Paglalakbay ni Tabibe at Dooper Duck sa mundo ng mga Shoho at Kahariang Mais” xD…

8:57 PM: ayon sa relo sa PC. Mukhang napapasarap ang pagtatype ko sa aking mahiwagang Blog… Check ng propayl sa Friendster, chat sa mga kapatid ko ^^, Stumble ng mga websites, kumain ng tinapay na tig sasampung piso (ung six pieces na maliliit) ksi walang ulam… hayy nako… maraming talgagang magagawa sa Inernet noh? eh pano pa kaya kung sa PC na ang pinaguusapan? edi papasok na dyan ang mge computer games na pinag-kakaabalahan ng karamihan sa kasalukuyang henerasyon ng mga estudyante, sige na nga! kasama nako don!.

COMPUTER ADDICTION mahirap lampasan ang ganyan. Yan yung tipong hindi ka na makakain sa magdamag, namamagang mga kamay at daliri sa kakatype sa blog, sumasakit na likuran at leeg dahil sa nakayuko  palagi sa PC, tinutulugan ng mga kasama sa bahay, namamawis na mukha, lumuluwang mata, basang mga…. YUCK! sino ba tong dinedescribe ko? xD ikaw ba!? haha… “di ba may project ka pang tatapusin? anung ginagawa mo dyan?”… At umalingaw-ngaw na ang batingaw ng aking inang mahal. cge na po mga klasmates at gagawa pa ako ng aking projects…

[yumyum!] ako na yung bumili ng cheese dip dalawa para special, tapos ung isa naming katropang si Nevi ay may PALM CARD kaya maeron kaming libreng pizza! woohooo! Hawaiian pizza tapos pinalagyan namin ng cheesy pops para malupet! kumain kami sa Food Court para maka-mura kami sa pagkain [take-out ung pizza na binili namin para makuha namin ung free pizza ng PIZZA HUT]

Pagkatapos kumain deretso sa Timezone ang tropa [yaman! haha] kinuha namin ung promo na “barkada package” “para makamura kayo kasi unlimited games for 1 hour”, sabi nung babae dun sa cashier.

[naman!] kaya dun kami, kinuhan namin ung isang card, tapos sila nasa mga racing games.

Xet namatay ako! buti nalang may card kami para… NGEK! ANO ‘TO ‘PLEASE WAIT FOR 300 seconds’ BAT GANUN! badtrip!. Hayy… napamura nga kami… as in BadWords. Ngayon alam ko na, na napaka utak ng TIMEZONE. Naisip nila na pag unlimited games ung card eh di swipe kami ng swipe ng card para nga naman mas sulit, pero ang ginawa ng timezone ay nilagyan nila ng 5 mins. ‘waiting time’ or interval para sa susunod na swipe para nga naman hindi kami swipe ng swipe nung card na iyon. hayy… badtrep! hyaan nalang nabili na eh!

Pagkatapos maglaro sa Timezone lakad-lakad sandali sa Trinoma tapos Starbucks naman kami [nakalimutan ko na dala ko pala ang camera ko! amp. kaya simula dito ay may picture na, para malupet.] ayun STARBUCKS na kami tapos bumili na ng kape! ahhh! xempre first tym namin na bumili sa Starbucks [new record! xD] medyo napahiya kami, nantitrip pa ung babaeng employee! haha  badtrip!. ang binili ko ung “Coffee Jelly” mukhang masarap eh… Grande size P145 ata ung presyo kung naaalala ko pa.

Going to Starbucks

Lupet ng table!

Akin ung nasa gitna… ung ROK! xD

Ayun-ayun tambay ng konti pagkatapos maubos ng drinks namin, punta na kami sa SM NORTH EDSA para umuwi, kasi nandun ung sakayan papuntang bahay! hehe.
