Admission Exams...

To answer those questions from Kuya Ayel and Kris: no, I didn't pass the UPCAT.
Now what bugs me the most is if I'll be able to pass the other entrance exams I have taken.

UP is both me and my father's dream. Not seeing myself on the list of the qualifiers really made me depressed. But what shall I do? I always knew from the very beginning that I won't pass the UPCAT. Maybe I passed the test, but I don't know about passing the rest of the qualifications.
So what made me think I won't be able to pass the UPCAT?
1. I applied for quota courses. BS Biology, BS Psychology and Political Science
2. The campuses I have applied for. One is UP Manila, and the other, UP Diliman.
3. The number of applicants. I was just one of the 25,000 applicants who took the exam.

Having these things in my mind, I knew I won't pass the test. And so, it did happen.
But hey, it's not too late.If I really want to make it to UP, there's another way. That is, to maintain a grade not lower than 2.00 for 33 units then transfer to UP. True it is, despair makes you stronger and wiser . If I'm not meant for UP, then I'll make myself a way to UP. Well, it's good to know that I'm not the only hopeful for this plan, one of my closest friend, Phyllis, thinks of the same thing. We will certainly familiarize ourselves in UP next school year.

I'm just so thankful I have great parents. I'll make it to UP for them.
Afterall, it's not just me who wants to go to UP badly. 76 students took the UPCAT in our school. And only 2 passed the UPCAT. Bin, our valedictorian, and Carlos the salutatorian. Now that made sense. But I'll be in UP in an academic year's time. Optimism. That's one thing to learn before I get into the battle of college life.

"Your life right now is a reflection of your past thoughts. That includes all the great things, and all the things you consider not so great. Since you attract to you what you think about most, it is easy to see what your dominant thoughts have been on every subject of your life, because that is what you have experienced."-Rhonda Byrne, The Secret

UST or PLM, hope I'll pass both.

Jumpstart.

On New Year's eve, I was sick. I suffered from a really bad headache. But I didn't allow that headache spoil my new year's eve. I grabbed the lighter from the kitchen, went outside the porch and grabbed some firecrackers. I went outside, it was really cold. But still, the thought of my being sick on new year's eve will make me horrible, so I just forget about that headache and indulged myself with the magnificent fireworks in the sky and lighted then quickly threw those firecrackers. I don't want to get back to school with a finger missing. Who wants that? No one. The sky was illuminated with colorful fireworks shimmering in the dark sheets of the last midnight of year 2007. I'll be sorry if I just let myself inside the house with everyone enjoying the bangs and booms made by the firecrackers. Morning of January 1, we quickly prepared all the foods to be brought at Nanay's house. It is a family tradition to get together at Nanay's and bring some food for the rest of the family to enjoy. Also, we have this annual gift-giving. For several years, we had it through raffle, and for this year, each member of the family tried their luck through playing bingo. It was really fun. I would have been more than sorry if I didn't attend.

(From left to right: That's Tita Rose (more known as "pasimuno"), Chome (Tito Romie, the "barker"), Tito Joel, Mama Imay and Ate Honey.)

We actually forgot about the time. Everyone was having a great time. Hoping that the missing number for their bingo card would be called, everyone was anticipating for bringing home the prizes. I must say the prizes are awesome!Those are the prizes at the table and my bingo card. There are packs of yummy popcorn, gift cheques worth 500 and a thousand, 1000 and 500 pesos, wines, a coffee maker, microwavable pans with food stuffs included, a huge pack of Ferrero Rocher, a pack of Toblerone and what else...I forgot some of the stuffs. Who wouldn't want to win in any of the games?
That's my card. I'm just a number away from that 1000 bucks! Well, it isn't my lucky day, I haven't got any of the prizes, so sad. But that's okay, the fun we had can never be as worthy as those prizes. After the games, we just ate ad planned to go to Global Fun-Mall of Asia together. But it's New year so we assumed that there will be loads of people in there. So we came to the decision not to go. Just some other time, I guess. And it isn't the perfect time for me to go and try those rides for myself. I'm still sick.

On the 2nd day of the year, we cleaned up the entire house and kept all the christmas decors. You can't see any traces of Christmas inside the house. Then I just got some rest, and finally recovered from that fever.

And today, everyone here is back on business. I browsed on my school stuffs to refresh my mind about school, so I don't get in any trouble when the classes resume. Then I got another thing to do for Titio Joel. I got another designing project from Luna Design. This time I will have to reinvent those designed plates, do some sketches of it and paint those design on the plates. Yey.

Few sketches of the plates.

The plates I'll have to paint on.

The design I have to revise.

And that made perfect sense. 2008 means work. That's it. (:

Back to business. Chop chop!
