Time sure passes by quickly.
Yesterday seemed to be January yet now, I am already experiencing the chill of December nights. This just explains how we should make every moment of our lives count. May it be the happiest or the saddest of memories, every minute we spend each day contributes to another learning experience here on earth.
So much for introductions…
Last Wednesday, I made one of the “last” memories I need to make before I finally say good bye to high school – Senior Christmas Party. It makes me feel so old! I’ve been attending Christmas parties for since kindergarten days and to think that I finally made the last one for my high school days. Of course, this year’s celebration became extra special because my batch did it all together. Obviously, the idea seemed a bit corny because we are like older now and we were still playing stuff like newspaper dance, tug-O-war, obstacle race and some stuff like that.
After the games galore, we proceeded to our classrooms and had our mini-food fest sponsored by Shakey’s (minus the pizza –how ironic, ne?). It’s not that significant so let’s move on to the most exciting part of parties – gifts! Anyway, I’m über happy because I got, like, two Neil Gaiman books in just 30 minutes. The first
book I received was a movie-based edition of Stardust though I’d really love to have the Stardust copy with its original binding. Still, thanks SG President for that wonderful gift!!! Of course, I also received with teary-eyes a rare (in the Philippine context) book called Good Omens (Black Edition)written by Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman from a super generous friend! I’m also sooooo thankful to all the other people who gave me love in the form of gift this season. At least you remembered me. I’m also so sorry if I wasn’t able to do a proper Christmas shopping for you guys due to two terrible causes: 1.) My shopping-allergic Dad and, 2.) The EVIL Periodic Tests. I hope to spread my cause probably on Graduation season which, unfortunately, won’t be to long.
For Christmas, aside from world peace and economic prosperity to the Philippines, I also wish to have copies of Yun Kouga-sensei’s Loveless manga series. Why is it so difficult to buy stuff like those here in the Philippines? See, if you want to give me an ideal gift, I’d recommend that you just give me novels. Not much of the classic ones though. It is not that I don’t like classic books; in fact I really adore them. The thing is I feel unworthy of keeping them.
'Til my next entry!

I’m so sad about that. Sigh, past is past right?
Well, I finally got my results for the SATs and guess what? I still suck at Math…surprise, surprise. Anyway, I suppose that it was destined for me to get a so-so score for a total of 1600. With this at hand, I really need to do my best for the SAT II on January. Ganbatte! What a holiday it’s going to be for me. Somebody please teach me electromagnetism! Onegai shimasu!
On the happier note, I’m finally done with my Christmas shopping for my family’s exchange of gifts. Yayness!

I just realized that so many things happened in my life this past three days and maybe you’ve had enough of my wildness. I suppose that I might not be able to keep in touch with you soon so, I wish you all a wonderful Christmas!
'Til my next entry!
