I’m taking my SAT Subject Tests this coming October or November, and I’m worrying about them now because the only point to taking them is getting into schools abroad. And I don’t know anything about schools abroad, so I have no idea what subjects to take. :| (NUS requires Math 2, which would be okay [...]

The advertisement stated that the personal office (A)was looking for candidates who (B)were willing to work long hours, (C)travel extensively, and (D)have clerical skills.
Where’s the error?
The teacher we had at our review maintained that it was A. :| Had been looking daw. I maintained it was a D, being unable to maintain the parallelism of [...]

The drama club at school (of which I’m part of) just finished another street/back lobby play, in keeping with tradition of welcoming and inviting students to audition. “Pisay Daw Raw 3D” basically showed people’s misconceptions of our school and its students to the new batch, who will eventually learn that these are (mostly) untrue. No, [...]

Irony really shows its ugly pimply head when someone who talked about research for 5 minutes on stage can’t find an effing science-tech research topic.
S-T-R will always be the first three letters of stress.

Imagine a room of 4 to 6 year-olds in a classroom, bickering over who hit who and who started which fight. They start calling each other names, begin blaming each other for things that never happened, and fight behind the teacher’s back. Now imagine a room of 40 to 60 year-olds doing the same thing [...]

Lipton 3-in-1 Milk Tea is LOVE.
I’ve been using this stuff to replace my coffee urges. It’s exactly like coffee, only without the uncontrollable trembling! :D And it’s hella relaxing too. I could seriously probably take a bath in enough of the stuff, like in those spa commercials.
Oh, their ‘Maling Akala’/’One Look’ radio commercial is kinda [...]

Me and my parents had dinner with some “high-profile” people last night, as a friend called it: the ESU, heads of the UP and Ateneo Debate Societies, and Pat Evangelista. Entertainment was basically watching my dad’s videos of the competition and telling stories of how I beat the odds and stuff.
It’s funny watching Pat Evangelista [...]

Bloody little buggers.
I mean, seriously, following me around school with cameras blazing, embarrassing me in front of half the student body, making me pretend like I’m writing something in a damned notebook, having me recite my speech in the freaking outdoors, and actually expecting me to be agreeable in return?
Graaaah.
There’s a word for people like [...]
