Blogs, Friendster and Friendship

There are times when I feel too tired to go to school on Fridays. Days like these are too laid-back and activity-less for my taste and preference. Days like these are like innocent sheep lost in a week full of grueling discussions and lectures resembling a pack of hungry wolves. It was wonderful to be assigned to cover an invitational game at CU this morning - at last, something to break the monotony of a senior's schedule!

Watching the game was like therapy to my frazzled nerves. When I hopped on the school van this morning, I was quite pissed of about something regarding my wicked, cruel, so-called love life. After watching a few hours of great basketball though, I felt refreshed and I suddenly found myself laughing at things I would have found mundane given normal circumstances - such as pictures of varsity team players posing by a car that looks like it belongs to Mr. Bean. Even though the game ended with a tie - 51 all, no overtime, long story, don't ask - and even though I was sort of downhearted that we didn't win, I was still overwhelmed by the wonderful experience of visiting a school full of welcoming students, a hospitable faculty, and a Shakey's booth on Foundation Day - how come we don't have booths like that during our school events?

Maybe I'm just trying to find a better way to say I was relieved to be excused from having to attend morning classes today....

I really should be studying for the CSAT right now but I can't bring myself to lift a pen and solve mathematical problems. I mean, our school has trained us long and hard for this thing - enrichment classes every Saturday!

But seriously, the things I've learned from the enrichment classes are these:
- for the Science part of the test, details about the questions are given in the testpaper so all you have to do is read and understand
- it really pays to be a bookworm sometimes - it comes in handy because when exam time comes you don't have to pore over a tottering pile of vocabulary reviewers because you already know most of the words
- for Math, I've learned that... wala... not that our teachers haven't taught us anything... it's just that I'm really hopeless in Math - end of story!

You know why I couldn't study tonight? I was too eager to surf the net and search for Aimee Capinpuyan's blog - I've heard she's sensational! I did try to review my skills in Math Proficiency but when I got to question number 16 or so I gave up and just hooked the laptop to get some form of recreation. And I searched for Aimee's blog - swear, it's so super! Super funny because of the way she says the stuff on her mind. Super honest because that entry about the Nursing Exam Retake almost made me cry. Super cool to look at - her blog design's even cooler than mine!

Seriously, we should consider promoting that girl to a higher rank in the school paper. She's really talented... She reminds me of someone, actually. Someone obssessive about grammar, someone really intelligent, someone who thinks he's a loner, someone great.

Just some friend of mine, in case you're wondering.

Ooooh... you should also read Peej Bernardo's blog. I first read about him in Candy Magazine - probably my addiction - and I was amused by his witty take on something as posh as a soiree. So the moment I got my own dial-up, I googled him and read some bits of his thoughts. He's ultra deep and very reflective - then again, he's twenty-seven so it must be THAT. You should check out his blog if you're fond of soliloquys and such.

To informally close this entry, I would like to announce that I am officially a member of Friendster. I was actually planning to sign up for friendster when I'd turn sixteen next April but when I read Aimee's blog I desperately wanted to comment about some stuff she wrote. Access was for Friendster people only so I signed up.

As simple as that.

So visit me please. If you can find me...
