On moving. (Again)

Seriously, nakailang blogs na ako? Hm, 'di ako mapirme sa isang host. Haha.

Sa totoo lang, tintamad na kasi minsan akong magblog. Dati kasi nung nasa Minamalas pa ako, parati kagad akong may topic. So mabilis na lang gumawa ng post. Everyday. Hm, mahirap na i-recreate yung Minamalas days ko eh. But, I shall try.

My friend is persuading me to move to Wordpress. I tried to do that a long time ago but I got lazy. But since Christmas vacation started *counts* 12 or so hours ago, I will, with the best of my abilities, try. Haha.

So yeah. I will update if I will move. :p

Blogger's block.

Blog diarrhea.

I need to take control of things right now. I still haven't managed to do a LOT of things that's supposed to be done before the next week ends.

- Study for Physics and CLE - Do my Feasibility Poject. (My product will be macaroni salad. At first, I thought of a service, which is Math tutoring but I kind of thought it'd be too hard. We'll see if I'll change my mind. :p)
- Do my Health review paper. Ugh.
- Organize my cabinet. (Should've done eons ago)
- Buy a dress for Carla's debut. PLUS, her gift.

Anyhoo. A lot of things has happened since my last blog post. Although not a lot has changed. Labo, no? Hm, Tammy has been nagging (okay, not rly nagging) me about moving to Wordpress and reviving my blog, but I'm too lazy. Ughhhh. Maybe after exams. :> XD

Oh, and Tammy and I've already watched Twilight, and I just HAVE to say that Carlisle Cullen looks so much better than Tom Cruise. Period.

First (of) Summer.

(I AM SO INFINITELY STUPID. I EDITED THIS POST BUT, BECAUSE OF MY STUPIDITY, I ACCIDENTALLY HIT DREADED DELETE BUTTON. I HATE THAT CURSED BUTTON. THANK GOD I ACTUALLY HAVE ENOUGH SENSE TO SAVE MY POSTS IN NOTEPAD FIRST.)

Hm, this summer went by awfully fast. I surmise that it's because of my CAT training back in mid-April and my review late this May. I must admit, it was quite nice to not sit around my ass all day all summer. I've been doing that for the past, oh I don't know, fifteen summers, and boy, am I glad that my sixteenth isn't such a blah.

My CAT training was fun. I got to really know my fellow student leaders (I know them, of course, 'cause there are only, like, a hundred fifty people in our batch, so not knowing them is quite impossible, but I reallyrly got to know them. Yeah. I'm ranting now.) and we also learned just how hard and important our job really is. Wow, I can't believe I just typed that down. Who would've thunk it, that me, Reginne Camarse, rulebreaker extraordinaire, would actually aspire to be an (responsible) officer? Hee.

To our extreme dismay (and suspense), our positions still wasn't announced by the end of last month contrary to what I've said in my very first post here.

Anyhoo, my review was ... not as eventful as I thought it would be. Even though there were only 30 or so students in our class, there was just this air or awkwardness that didn't really disappear for a month. Idk why. Only my friend's cousin, who is now also my friend, Mela, was able to break the tension sometimes. Oh, and yeah, I also learned a lot. Back in my sophomore year, I never ever thought I'd understand Mitosis and Meiosis and all that crap. Thank God.

I've also discovered the wonder that is Facebook. (Click on the picture to enlarge it. It's a screencap of my Facebook profile.) I just decided to take a look at it and see if it's another lame networking site like Hi5, Tagged, etc. I was so wrong. Facebook, as it turns out, is actually kajillion times better than Friendster and probably gazillion times better than Multiply. (Although I don't really know, 'cause Facebook and Multiply's purposes are a bit different.) (I already said this line to my friend Thea, but I like it so much, I've decided to repeat myself. Oh and, kajillion is bigger than gazillion, btw.)

Let me list down the reason why it's so cool.

- The applications it offers are way cooler than Friendster's. It has games (which are so not lame, might I add) like Word Challenge, Tower Bloxx, Bubble Town, Bubble Words, Maffia, Who Has The Biggest Brain, Vampires, Werewolves, and lots more. What's even better, is that it compares your score to your friends. It's very helpful especially if you're aiming for bragging rights.

(Personally, I love Word Challenge. I think I've reached the highest level, which is Poet, 'cause my score is 17,000+, and the highest among my friends scored 30,000+, and she's STILL a Poet. So yeah. Who Has The Biggest Brain is also loads of fun. I now have an Alien brain. (Share!) Right now, I'm a cross between frustrated and addicted (fruddicted?) on Tower Bloxx. Just saying.)

- The groups in Facebook as hilarious. There was this one group I joined, I Hate When Kids Suck At Putting Together The Shrine of the Silver Monkey (Yeah, 90's Nickelodeon reference right there, if you haven't noticed), and also an I'm Tired Of People Fucking Up My Name group.

- The Bumper Sticker application is also loads of fun.

- Oh, and Mesmo TV's fun as well! I love answering trivia questions about my favorite shows! Not just the 'What is the name of the main character in ______?' kind of crap but reallyrly hard questions that only a keen eye can notice.

- The Visual Bookself makes me want to read my Sweet Valley books again.

Hm, right now, that's what's got me hooked on Facebook, but I'm sure it offers lots more that what I've listed.

So yeah, let's boycott Friendster. It sucks anyways.
(I am still going to use aforementioned suckish Friendster 'cause I love my friends THIS much, although some of 'em are too lazy to register in Facebook.)

(You also might notice that I like using (parentheses). Yeah. I'm weird that way.

Hand-me-down Phones

My Dad bought himself a new cellphone. I don't rly know what the name is 'cause I'm no technophile. All I know is that it uses one of those pen thingees and that you use to touch the screen or whatever. Since that phone can hold two SIM cards, he'll be giving away (I make it sound like he's a host or whatever,) his two cellphones.

He made me choose between (again, I don't know all the names of the phones) the one with the camera or the one with the radio. I chose the one with the radio. I figured that I can always borrow the digicam, anyways.

Hm, to be honest, I was never addicted to texting. Granted, I begged my parents for a phone back when I was in fifth or sixth grade but I never really got to the phase where in I would be so distracted by my phone that it'd be confiscated. And yes, I sometimes avail of the Unlitxt promo of Globe but I was never 'addicted'.

I know some (no, actually, A LOT of)people who socialize more in texting compared in real life. Weird. Maybe they find it easier than 'real life' because you don't rly have to worry about what you're going to say through text 'cause you can edit them as much as you like. You can analyze your text and if it can be perceived in some other way you want it to be perceived, you can edit it out. Maybe that's why people seem more friendly through text.

So if someone says that that person is friendly/nice/whatever because 'naka-text ko siya eh,' I don't buy it. Idk. I guess I have to know them for real to believe it.

Weird thing though. I don't find any trouble when I'm making friends in cyberspace. Haha!

Well, through text or in cyberspace, I have this excellent radar on who's being pretentious and who's the WYSIWYG type of person. So I tend to stay away from those I don't rly like to be chummy with.

Cooking and Baking.

I'm so hungry.

Actually, it seems like I'm always hungry, so this isn't really news.

But that sad, sad thing is, I don't cook. No, wait. I can't cook. I can't cook to save my life, all right?

Must be from my mom. My mom doesn't cook. I mean, she does know how to cook simple dishes (e.g. frying eggs, fried rice, desserts, etc.) but not the food we eat usually eat for lunch or dinner (e.g. sinigang, adobo, nilaga, tinola, etc.).

My dad's the one who cooks for us. And my grandmother. I shudder to think how we will survive without our grandmother. I mean, with dad at work all the time, who the hell will feed us?

Maybe it'll be my younger sister. (The one who comes after me, Rizza.) Yeah, maybe.

I can't bake either. Even if our highly competent TLE teacher taught us baking, I still can't understand how you pr-heat the oven and all that stuff. In fact, we've never used our over at home. We use it to store pots and pans. Haha!

Maybe that's why I like watching cooking shows. Iron Chef America really is entertaining for me. My favorite Iron Chef is Bobby Flay. :D Hee. And Everyday Italian's also a good watch. But 30 Minute Meals is kind of getting boring. I'm getting REALLY irritated with Rachel Ray (esp. in her talk show) 'cause sometimes I think she really exagerates everything. But I do admire her for having lots of energy. XD

Ugh, and Barefoot Contessa! I really don't like that show. Idk why. Maybe 'cause she kept fussing about table settings and table cloths and flowers as the centerpiece ... it's mad! I mean, can't you just eat in your kitchen? Guh. Srsly.

Hm, but I'm not really interested in doing myself the food. I'd rather eat it. :D

Mind preoccupied.

It's about time I moved.

I don't think my former URL fits me anymore. I don't affix my own version of a suffix (ness) into my words anymore and I certainly don't think 'jinxed' is the word that can describe my luck.

A lot of things have happened since my last post here on Blogger. I'm now an incoming HS Senior at my High School. Finally! I can't wait to leave High School. Don't get me wrong, my High School life has (so far) been a blast but I simply cannot wait to go to College. (If I pass any of the schools I want.)

I also have just finished my CAT Training. Yay! It was so much fun and it helped me a lot (physically and emotionally, though a stress on the former. :D). I learned lots of new things (the commands, etc.) and got to know people I wasn't really familiar with. The positions will be announced during the end of May (suspense, much?).

And, around May 2, I'll be attending my review for College.

I have also just finished reading the first three books of the Twilight Saga. :> Tammy was the kind one who lent me the first book and then I downloaded the entire saga from the Internet. Hee. :D (More about that in the next post. I don't think I'd do it justice if I describe it only fleetingly here.)

So now, I have two weeks (or so) of free time. Ugh, I hate free time. It makes me think of things that I'd rather not think about.

Thus, this blog is born. I'm going to edit the sidebar in the future. But I'm not going to look for another layout. Blogger Templates are fine by me. :D
