“I’ll spread my wings and I’ll learn how to fly.
I’ll do what it takes till I touch the sky.”

April 24, 2009 was our report card distribution day. I was very delighted when I saw my report card. I got straight A’s for the second time around! Yay! I was confident that I will get an “A” in Digital Photography, English, and Algebra, because my teachers handed us grade sheets a few days before our report card distribution.  This time, though, I got a GPA of 4.06. My grade point average got a little bit higher than the previous marking period, because if you are in an honors class, you will get an additional .5  in your GPA.

“I’ll take a risk, take a chance,
Make a change, and break away”

During the first semester, I was just in a standard English class, but my former English teacher, Mrs. Zeytinoglu, recommended that I should be placed in the English Honors. class At first, I was really hesitant to transfer, because I  was already used to Mrs. Z’s class. Another reason I do not want to transfer was that I am worried that there will be much more work to do in the honors class. But, Mrs. Z accompanied and introduced me to one of the teachers in Honors English, Ms. Timberlake. Ms. T told me that there would be a lot of work sometimes, but she assured me that I could do it, because Mrs. Z showed her one of my writing assignments.

“Out of the darkness and into the sun.
But I won’t forget all the ones that I love”

My first day in honors class was awesome. First of all, Ms. Timberlake was very nice to me, and I saw three cute white boys. Hahaha! Days passed and I got used to the class and to my classmates, as well. I can say that honors class is more interesting, challenging, and fun compared to the standard class. I do miss Mrs. Zeytinoglu, but we still say “Hi!”  whenever we bump into each other in school. Sometimes, she talks to me and asks me how I am doing, what grade I got in the English honors class, and whatnot.

Gosh! This baby is so adorable and HILARIOUS!
I love this video very much!
I have never heard a baby laugh this hard. Enjoy watching!

I want to share this very hilarious story that I obtained from www.pinoyjokes.net. I was laughing really hard while reading this.

Dear Ate Charo,

It’s so hirap talaga to study in UP, the University of the Poor.You know, I never wanted to study here. But my parents kasi, they both went to UP and they said na it was the best school talaga.

Eh ‘di I went. But no! When I got here, Holy horrors! I was ready to make himatay after the first day pa lang.

Would you believe, there’s no aircon na nga in the classrooms, the fan doesn’t work pa. And then this guy who was like, wearing a sando, shorts and tsinelas lang made tabi next to me. He made pakilala pa! The nerve! So I made takbo to the CR to make tago. But I couldn’t make hugas my hands that were so pawis from escaping such a near-death experience. There was no liquid soap! Not even a couch where I could sit to make kikay. Do you feel my pain na ba?

But wait, there’s more. Last Thursday kasi Daddy’s Volvo was bawal, eh the Eclipse was being repaired, so I had to make sakay with my yaya in the Ikot jeep. It was so siksik! I could like, smell the putok of the girl next to me. Like, it was sobrang mabaho talaga. Kasi naman, the Ikot jeeps are old na nga, they’re mainit pa! Sana they make palit na the jeeps with a shuttle system. Okey lang naman even if there’s an increase in pamasahe ‘di ba? So when the car is bawal, I can use my credit card na to make bayad.

Isa pa, you know the Shopping Center? It’s so kadiri talaga. I’m forced na nga to make Xerox there, (as if naman I could be caught in that place otherwise) pero I’m so inis because it’s so maliit and madilim, and most of the stalls don’t have aircon. They should tear it down na and build a mall na lang. Then I wouldn’t have to go to Katipunan pa to get my Starbucks fix.

My gosh, this place is so bulok I don’t know nga why anyone would bother making turo here pa. Just yesterday, my professor was kinda inis kasi her whiteboard marker had no more tinta! Then she tried to make hanap a matino whiteboard marker but of course there was none. Duh! Kasi naman if we had laptops instead of desks in every classroom there would be no more need or whiteboards di ba? But you know even if there were laptops na, the seats are so tigas sometimes I find it mahirap to concentrate. Dapat may cushioning para malambot sa butt, like Downy.Now I’m in my third year na. I don’t want to stay in this place anymore.I don’t give a paki if UP’s the best university here. I’m going to transfer to Assumption, where the CRs have liquid soap.

tnx.
