My First Day (Part 1)

Uhh.. Actually my first day was yesterday, but I didn't have time to post this entry because assignments given--YES, ASSIGNMENTS on FIRST DAY--were already "over the bakod".

Anyway, inagahan ko talaga ang pagpasok kahapon, as in 6:45 A.M. nandun na ako and 7:30 A.M. pa ang class namin. O, 'di ba, kasi according to my previous blockmates, nung Wednesday, sa sobrang haba ng pila para doon sa thermal scanner, eh halos umabot na daw hanggang sa ministop. So it's a "U" line already. Pagdating ko sa school kahapon, wala pang sampung tao ang nakapila sa gate. O_O

Pagpasok ko sa room, ayun, madaming strangers haha! Well, mga 5-7 lang ang mga kakilala ko doon sa loob, and hindi ko na ka-block si Krizia Yap, ang kaisa isang ka-block ko na taga SSHS. BUT, si Tanya Ong ay ang replacement ni Krizia, ka-block ko siya haha! Lucky me, I think? LOL

Well, sabi nga ng iba, most professors are absent during first days, but in our case, ang sisipag ng mga prof namin. Walang nag-absent ni isa. Well, it's a good thing anyway since we are delayed for a week because of the level 6 pandemic alert of A(H1N1) virus. Eh kung mag-absent pa sila, mas madedelay pa ang class 'di ba?

1st subject was P.E. and it was badminton. Professor ulit namin yung prof namin last year 2nd sem sa P.E. 2. O_O Well, I personally don't like her that much. Para siyang palengkera kapag tumatawa, may taray effect pang nalalaman, haha! Pero kung sabagay, friendly naman siya sa mga students niya, it's just that there's something in her that I just don't like.

2nd subject was Phil. Lit. Mukhang mataray sa unang tingin yung prof namin, pero joker naman pala, haha! We passed our Certificate of Registration (C.O.R.) (parang class card) to her and she returned it to us after signing it and she told us to correct her if she mispronounce our names, and as usual mispronounce nanaman ang name ko. I knew when mine was about to be returned kasi yung sa katabi ko nabalik na so ako na ang sunod. She paused for a while and I immediately sensed that she is having some difficulty pronouncing my name. Then she asked, still staring at my name written on the COR, "How do you pronounce this? G9?" This is the weirdest mispronounciation I've ever heard quite my entire life so far. Then tumayo na ako tapos sinabi ko, "it's 'Je-nin'" Then she said, "Oh, sorry." Hay, ano bang mahirap basahin sa "Jeannine"? The spelling is just prolonged, pero "Je-nin" pa rin naman ang pagbasa ah. Lagi na nga misspelled ang name ko, mispronounced pa!

Anyway, 3rd subject was Analytical Chemistry. Lalaki ung professor namin, halos ka-penmanship niya si Mr. duron, haha! Even though my penmanship is bad, I still hate professors/teachers with bad penmanship, hirap kumopya pag ganoon eh, 'di ba? Wala naman ako masyado masabi sa kanya, pero mabait din siya, hindi terror, haha!

4th subject was Organic Chemistry Lecture. Rebonded ang hair ni ma'am, hahaha! After some orientation, discussion na, grabe. Sa tingin ko eh magaling naman siya magturo. She speaks clearly enough for us to understand, as in broad siya mag-explain which is a great advantage for us. Mabait din siya, and she doesn't give surprise quizzes daw (YEY!) haha! ^^

4th sub-subject was the laboratory part of Organic Chemistry. Something really surprising thing happened on this last subject. Explain it later. Well, she is our official adviser of our class, and she was the one responsible for the selection of our Chemistry professors. Well, according to her, she gave us the best possible professor that she can ever select among all she handles. Actually, I think she made the right choices kasi feeling ko, magagaling ang mga Chemistry professors namin this semester. Sa pananalita palang, halata na, hehe.

Okay, so the the big revelation. After some orientation, guess what, nagquiz kami. Our FIRST quiz on FIRST day. It's an essay quiz about Laboratory Techniques and Princles in Chem Lab 1. Shocking talaga! I had a brief review during summer in Chemistry but I didn't quite reached that part, so stock knowledge ko lang talaga ang pag-asa ko. You know the shockier thing? The essay should contain NOT less than 100 words. LINKING VERBS, PRONOUNS, ARTICLES and PREPOSITIONS are NOT counted and it should also contain NO ERASURES. Fortunately, madami dami din akong natandaan, so I think I passed, haha! This was really our first quiz, NO JOKE daw sabi ng prof namin. Fine, edi hindi. Afterwards, we were dismissed.

End of first day. Well, I really like to thank God of course for everything that happened on this quite interesting first day, I know that He's always on our side to guide us and I'm glad to know that. Sige, ayoko nang dagdagan, inaantok na ako, sorry kung magulo ang post ngayon, haha! Inaantok na talaga ako. @_@

Good night everyone, thanks for reading, God bless you!! ^^

Reaching Intimacy-vs.-Isolation Stage

Wow. Time's really ticking faster and faster. Yesterday is just like I am entering prep school, and now I'm already 18. Wonder what changes will I undergo reaching adulthood? Let's see, hmm.. I still won't give up watching cartoons, that's for sure!! This is the only quickest way to lose stress, haha! Well, maybe learning how to drive 'cause I have already reached the legal age now, having the privilege to vote during presidential elections, but it looks like there's no one in the candidates that favored me this coming 2010 election, *sigh* travelling out of country without a guardian (OH YEAH!!! ^^) and a lot more.

ERIKSON'S THEORY

There's one more thing that I know will change in me reaching young adulthood, that is reaching the 6th stage of Erik Erikson's Developmental Stages which is called the Intimacy vs. Isolation stage. Well obviously, love develops in this stage. Hmmm...haha!! Not yet, not now, maybe crushes, YES, CRUSHES will do but not yet love, LOL. I have many crushes, you know, haha! Tsaka I don't really think any 18-year-old will understand true love. I'm not saying Erikson's theory is wrong, kasi parang nag-dedevelop palang yung feeling of love natin at the age of 18. Maybe reaching 20's will be the right time to feel true love.

MY THEORY

(Sa mga ayaw pang ma-fall, pero malapit nang ma-fall.) Sabi nila hindi raw nakokontrol ng brain ang heart, sabi ko naman edi unahan na ng brain ang heart bago pa man siya i-kontrol nito. In short, you won't be able to fall in love with somebody if you make the right move and that is the job of the brain. (Tips sa mga mala-teleserye ang love life, LOL!)

CONCLUSION

Reaching 18 years old doesn't mean that we have to have the "special someone" in our life already. There are a lot more important things in life that we must first accomplish before going in to a relationship like of course studies, right? Enjoy your life! Learn how to have fun! Wait for the RIGHT TIME to fall for the RIGHT ONE, 'di ba? Para walang regret regret. God is always there to guide you, He has plans for you! Wait for God's signal, He will give you your "right one" when the right time comes. ^^
