*YAWN*

I'm sleepy but I know that I won't be able to sleep if I lie down now so here I am, blogging. Hi, Xanga. Did you miss me?

Quick updates time!

We have a puppy we named Bruno. Q likes pulling and throwing him by the tail, stepping on him, and kicking him around. This means that Q likes Bruno! Seriously. Hahaha. Yay! He alternately calls Bruno by his name or by "puppy".

I've been slowly but surely throwing away the clutter in our bedroom. This is the productive part of sembreak, people! I've sorted through my school stuff and thrown away my school junk too. To add to my "Productive Things I've Done This Sembreak" list, I've also sorted most of my files in my laptop. Yesss.

I didn't get CWTS 2 through CRS, which sort of sucks but oh well. I shall prerog that subject. I hope I get it.

Speaking of CRS and CWTS, I'm still grade-less in CWTS 1 and Aral Pil 12 (although I do know my grade already).

I have been eating a LOT this sembreak, which comes as a surprise to no one. Due to a depressing... circumstance, I finished a whole Hershey's Cookies and Cream bar in less than five minutes. By myself. Nothing like your favorite chocolate to comfort you, eh? Haha.

I still have to wait for November 12 to be able to download the next episode of Glee. Noooo! My Gleek heart is breaking, Fox. It's breaking hard. (Hahaha. What?) I'm left watching and rewatching and rerewatching episodes 1-8. Haha.

I will now attempt to sleep. Wish me luck! XD

Hello, my beautiful sembreak.

Today is my first day of sembreak and I spent it vegetating in front of my laptop. Hahaha.

I woke up at around 11:00 AM, thanks to my vibrating cellphone. At first I thought it was just a text, but the black thing kept on vibrating. I squinted to see who it was and it was an unregistered number! I know some people don't answer their phones if they don't know who's calling, but I never got that logic. That means, duh, I answered my phone. Hehe. Turned out to be Mikee, who laughingly asked me if I just woke up when she heard my voice.

After eating lunch and seeing if there was anything worthy of attention on TV (there wasn't, boo!), I did the usual hygeinic things a person does. Then I turned on my laptop, checked my mail and other online accounts - I have a Facebook account now, btw - before I remembered that a new episode of Glee was available for download yesterday! I must have my Glee. So I went to the master's bedroom, turned on the desktop, and finished downloading the torrent for the eight episode (which was cut off thanks to last night's brownout). After copying it to my USB, I went back to my room, converted the file, and tadah! Episode 8!

In the middle of watching, Q barged into my room and sat down beside me. Ate Eden followed suit to take care of that sick fat lovable little brother of mine. Then he saw a toy gun under the desk and decided to play with it. Can you believe he actually succeeded in shooting a plastic ball while seated beside me? It would've been no big deal, but MY LAPTOP WAS RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME. I can't have that toy ruin my laptop. Hahaha. So with promise of grilled cheese sandwiches, Ate Eden lured him out of my room and into the kitchen.

Well, the promise of grilled cheese sandwiches was recognized, and after merienda, Ate Una and I watched the ending of The Women on HBO.

Blahblahblah. That was the beginning til merienda of my day. Hahaha.

You've got to take the bad that comes with the good.

THE BAD:

> I am sick. Not oh-my-goodness-I-have-a-terminal-illness-I-must-do-all-those-things-on-my-bucket-list-ASAP sick, just down with a fever. Normally, I don't use my laptop when I'm sick because I easily get dizzy (right now), but I have to download those computer files for FN 11.

> I can't study for FN 11 right now, and the exam's on Monday. And it covers eight topics! Aside from being feverish, I woke up with an allergy attack (right eye) this morning, so Dad has commanded me to take a break today and just study tomorrow. Because I'm a good daughter (stop snorting!) I've decided to oblige. Teeheehee.

> No idea for the FN 11 final project. They give us less than a week to find a pastry recipe absent from the manual, modify it to make it more economical and nutritious (and to choose a target market), bake it and transport it all the way back to UP? Didn't they think of the detrimental effects that the transport process will have on the pastry? That's not to mention the video presentation we have to create! And the fact that finals week isn't even over yet. Bah.

> No CWTS after the first batch run. Seriously? I mean, why the eff are more people enlisting both CWTS 2 classes than those who took CWTS 1 this semester? Ugh! I can't afford to take CWTS 2 on another sem because FN subjects, my friends, are veeeeerrryyyy time-consuming. We're constantly out of the campus, for pizza's sake! I can't afford to mix CWTS 2, which is also time-consuming, with my majors. Hmph.

THE GOOD:

> Four words, dear readers: Exempted from Biochem finals. YEHEEEEESSSSSS! *Goes off to celebrate*

> More words: Exempted from Aral Pil finals! YEHEEESSS again!

> I am an FR away from becoming a member of PAN. Yay!

> The only thing I lack after the first batch run is CWTS. I am so lucky! At this point in my blog post, I must say that the CRS website wasn't frustrating this time around. It didn't crash on the first day of pre-enlistment and it showed us the results only a day later than they said they would! This comes from a hardcore CRS critic, mind you. So whatever the CRS team is doing, keep it up! Haha.

This is an abnormal semester.

Will I still hold out hope for Chem 40? *Sigh*

The thing is, there are so many rant-worthy things going on right now, but I just don't have the energy to rant anymore. Hahaha.

Spell my name and you've spelled stressed. Hehe.

'Coz the world keeps spinning round and round, and my heart's keeping time to the speed of sound. I was lost 'till I heard the drums and I found my waaaaaay! Yeah, I kinda miss this. Scratch that. I really miss this!

Sembreak - so near, yet so far.

It's 12:04 AM. I want to sleep, but I'm not that sleepy. Hmmm.

WORRIED.

House got flooded in last Saturday.
Dad to me and my sleeping sisters: "Girls, wake up! The house is about to be flooded in and you're still sleeping!"

We still need to clean the gunk in between the tiles because although we've mopped, scrubbed, and disinfected the floor, mysterious black gunk remains. How will we remove said gunk? With a toothbrush. A toothbrush!

Still, I know we're the lucky ones.

I've been eating more than usual, been irritable, watched feel-good movies, reread almost every magazine (along with Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows and The Tales of Beedle the Bard), and every other thing I do to stop worrying.

I can't stop - I'm WORRIED. Not worried; but WORRIED.

I'm cranky, my mood swings are triggered by the most insignificant things, I can't concentrate, and I just randomly space out.

I can't contact a friend.

I hope and pray with all my might that all my worrying's for naught. I hope my friend is safe and just busy cleaning his house and whining about how they don't have internet connection.

If I think "he's okay" every single second I'm awake, will it make a difference?
