feels like hell [the heat]

Friends! I'm back here in Quezon City. I came here at around 5 in the morning today. It was really unexpected that I'd go home today. Will be back there in Sunday night. I have two long exams on Monday--Math 11 and Geology 11. Okay, so I just hope that I would be able to pull that off by Monday.

What's up with this SK elections thing? Do I really have to register? I didn't even know that the main reason why high school and college students don't have class today is because of the SK elections registration.

So yes, I'm here in Manila feeling the freaking heat. I didn't expect that it would be this hot. My college friends have already told me that it really is hot down here but I thought it was just normal Manila temperature. What the hey, it's so hot. I'm wearing a maroon UP tee and very 'see-through' shorts and it's still very hot. Oh come on. Bring me back up there.

So anyway, as I have promised, I'm going to give a 'decent' entry about things that are currently happening to me. First and foremost, JDC is already upcoming. It's on August 18-20 I think. What is JDC? JDC stands for Junior Debate Championship. It's a a tournament for us, junior debaters in the UP Debate Society and it would also serve as our try-outs for the UP IVs. What is UP IVs? UP IVs is a debate tournament among all UP systems--meaning all the debate orgs of UP would compete--Manila, Diliman, Baguio, Los Banos, blah and blah. So here's the pressure upon me: only 6 from us, junior debaters would be allowed to join the UP IVs; the top 6. And I so badly want to join them despite my oh-so-terrible-and-horrible debating skills. I think I don't even have the right to call it a skill since I think I'm not born with it. Whatever. The last statement is so lame. Errr.

I spoke with Clifford last Wednesday. Clifford is my trainer. And I asked him if he sees progress with regards to my debating 'skills'. Of course, as my trainer, he would say yes even though I think I'm not really improving and/or developing. I just realized that I shouldn't have asked him if I want a reliable answer because in the first place, he's very nice to people that he doesn't want people to feel oppressed or whatsoever. Yeah, oppressed. Nice term I've got there. I asked Marco next, my other trainer. And guess what? He encouraged me to quit because of the shallowest reason. I shouldn't have asked him too. I know I won't get a good answer from him since he's all-joke. Whatevs. I thought of quitting DebSoc but as I have contemplated [eh?] on things, I came up to the conclusion that there's no good reason for me to quit. And most especially, it's very hard to leave. Among all things that happened to me in UP, DebSoc is the loveliest, the sweetest and the greatest. I have never been happier and I couldn't ask for more. The relationship that we have established among us is so solid that it makes it hard for a person to leave it. Leaving DebSoc behind is easier said than done. So scratch it. I'm not leaving. And I actually owe the reasons why I'm still surviving in UP to DebSoc. So there. I think this one's already a decent update. Haha.

And oh, contradictory to one of my previous entries, I didn't get a Moto Krzr. I got this instead. The pink one. Isn't it adorable? Haha. I named it Daphne.

And as I have promised: pictures!












Sorry if most of them are stupid. I just took them when I was alone at the dorm. Haha. There was nothing to do. I'd take pictures during our debate trainings and I'll upload them here and I'll introduce my new great friends. Haha. I also uploaded much pictures in Friendster. Check them out there nalang. :)

I'll make an entry before I leave on Sunday. :) Miss you all!
