misfortune of fortunates. blessing of cursed

1) Why do some people derive pleasure from the misfortunes of those who are exceedingly blessed than they are?

Unfair, opposite, opposed, contrary, reverse, contradictory, conflicting, prejudice, bias, could delineate a lot of things in our world. Just like “Rich and Poor” or simply “Blessed or Cursed”. Blessed are those prosperous or lucky, and for the eyes of the hapless were envy and jealousy. That is the reason why they derive pleasure when fortunate people experience misfortunes.

Circumstances like this is familiar especially when rich and poor were not only opposite but also loathe each other. Misfortunate people thought that it would be fair if fortunate will feel what they have felt and do what they have done.

I guess this instance could happen inside the jail. When a new prisoner came, whom they knew to be a rich person outside, they usually let him work hard or sacrifice just what they had experienced. Maybe they thought that in that case, they could show rich people the fairness of reality.

Sometimes, it happens in a community. If a very rich family turned their mansion into a smaller one, their branded clothes into rag-like styles, this would totally catch the attention of every one, especially those people who are lower than them. Most of the time, they won’t just talk about it and spread it all over their place, what’s worse is the way they laugh and judge this misfortunes of the “used to be” fortunate people.

For me, these situations have two faces. First, the environment they belong to, and second, their real veins.

If the environment they belong derive pleasure at the misfortunes of exceedingly blessed than they are, they could also adapt it. While if they feel revenge or just jealousy in their own minds, if they were really thinking of the unfairness, they would definitely like the antagonists to get down.

If we find ourselves different from others, and we look at it as if they were greater that’s why we should pity ourselves, we already need to stop it, instead, look at the purpose of what you have right now. Look at the blessed person as an inspiration, and try to be like them.

spacious, free life ...

Nineteenth day of January … an ordinary chunk of the week for some. But for me, this day was my DAY! My great day, a blessed day and the day that would tell me that I’m now a “Fifteen year old Damsel”.
Somehow, being a 14 year old gal was really unforgettable!
First and foremost, was my relationship with God. Ofcourse with the help of Felariz, I was transformed into a new person. I am not yet a Christian, but what is more important is my relationship with Him.
For everything, absolutely everything,
Above and below, visible and invisible …
Everything got started in him and
Finds its purpose in him
Colossians 1:16 (Msg)
Found new peers and discover their own perceptions and attitudes.
Experience problems and achievements. Problems, especially within the family, financial, lovelife and as always, school. I’ve finished sophomore year and now struggling with my junior year, some more months and I’m already a senior.
I also fallen in love, not so deep yet a feeling which is different, incomparable, insane, and put those butterflies in my stomach.
Finally, I’m getting to know myself. Not yet so deep, but I still have so many years for a soul searching.
For now, I have to enjoy LIFE, LIVE.LAUGH.LOVE

We had our new seating arrangement the following day. My new seatmates? Karen and Cez.

Honestly, it doesn’t start so good. I was LATE!! I have to rush for a review. They all greeted me with a scream, OA!!! Though some just knew it that day. Afterwards, we all focused on Chemistry. As usual, it had never been so easy. At first it was a bit easy coz it’s all in multiple choices type. But when Ma’am Bisa came, she gave the next batch of the test. Whew! I’m not yet on the halfway but the time was already on its 15 minutes left. I knew I wouldn’t finish, who would?! That’s why I just guessed the next items on the second test. Actually it’s more than half of it! Filipino was the next, though it was shorter this time, I was bored answering the questions.
On the period of our recess, my world stops! Yeah, it looks like I fell on the black hole, my heart stops beating, and everything turns into a disaster! What a day, the LCD of my digital cam wrecked! I don’t know what to do first, but I prefer
to study on Zoo and AP, yet the only thing in my mind was the cam cam cam cam cam cam cam cam cam, nothing else!
I finished the test and sit beside my peers babbling about my cam. It was my birthday that’s why I shouldn’t let my whole day to get crackup! We ate at Claros, Claud, Fela, Zhai and Cez were with me. We took pictures though we don’t see anything on the screen as it flashes. I enjoyed every bite and gossip. Forgetting about the headache.
We all helped our classmates, Loriza, Joan, Ninay and especially Cyrile for the Campus Idol. They should put on a formal dress, which they didn’t prepare with that’s why we find quick fixes.
And the unforgettable part of it, Raz lend Cy her dress, yet they were looking for some ways for her not to look “losyang”. So Raz suddenly got annoyed and utter, “ Ui P150 yan! “ It quite didn’t sound good on them that’s why Zhai and Claude really look for ways just to lend Cy another dress. So they did, Zhai found a dress for Cy and rush.

Campus Idol
Juniors first ..
Carla was the very first one. Charmaine forgot some of the lines of her song, I even laughed as I’ve heard Kodie complain on how Charmaine had practiced while they’re taking test. Almost all of them were nervous, who wouldn’t be?! Neil had the attention of the crowd as he screams in an out of tune. While Tenten astound the judges, not so new for us as we all know how good is her voice. Same as Aj, though the judges advised her to change the type of her usual songs. And ofcourse Aaron, as he let us hear again his heart catching voice with matching “kodigo”. At the end, Claire, Tenten, Aaron and AJ passed the Elimination.

At the midway of seniors’ elimination, I went at the canteen with Karen, Camille and Froi. We ate a bit and talk for a while, and decided to go back when Ma’am Arlene told us that the program was at the gym and not at the canteen. We didn’t go back directly at the gym, instead stayed for a while in front of the junior’s rooms. But when Sir Ces noticed that there were only a few students watching, Ma’am Pareja yelled, that’s when we decided, “we should!” go back! Teachers were already angry, but I guess they should. That was always our attitude every time there would be a program. Sir Ces even uttered that it should already be plasced in the policy. A hisroric day' I could say.
Classes had ended, few hours left and I already need to face my consequence. My family greeted me and I guess they were all busy for my birthday. I was thinking how could I say what happened. But I should tell it as soon.
As I’ve told my Mom what happened, ofcourse they felt disappointed, and I know Abby was mad, deep inside though I’m not seeing it.
My former classmates even gave messages while my relatives came. It was a boisterous day !!!

This Wednesday, Nitros were divided within the 3sections. Elaidia, Justin, Pam, Micah and Esie were the one who stayed in our room.
As we were checking our test paper in Math, I was chatting with Karen of how fast days were. Few months left, we will already be seniors. It was exciting, but it was not I was feeling while thinking of it. Reminiscing, and wishing to turn back the unforgettable days. Aixt, how I wish!
While waiting for Ma’am Evelyn, Ma’am Rhea noticed how quiet we were! Totally silence! But when it was already half hour late, we decided to make noise.
Our topic? Corney jokes !!!
3H student who’s …
A boxer- eh di si“claudine MARQUEZ”
In a carnabal- eh di si “CAroselle”
not always sure- eh di si“asley eriDAO?”
Always blasting- eh di si“zhaila GRANADo”
Always the protagonist- eh di si“felariz sarVIDA”
Not drowning- eh di si“felariz salBAVIDA”
Asthmatic- eh di si“eleazer moHIKA”
From Britain- eh di si“joan BRITAINia”

Wahaha’ corney !!!

Again our effort was wasted! We should make a script on our role play instead of our long assignment in English. Ever since, I really hate every time my effort would be wasted. And Claudine was my partner with that attitude!
Before the week’s near to end, I had a big problem in Chem. At first, I was lower than 55%. So I need to work on a project, a very LONG project! With those mountains of other homeworks, that would be added worse. So I seek for corrections and so I did. At first I was more problematic on how could I tell it coz maybe Ma’am Bisa would thought a negative side of it. Yet I had explained well and solved my problem.
While walking, me and Claude were chatting about “problems”. She had this attitude which is counting those problems. Which is opposite of mine. I am not aware of listing or counting probs, instead I count for solutions and facing it as positive trials the way I should.

For the last day of the week, we had short-period classes.
Ma’am Rhea came late, that’s why we had Stat as our first subject. I was so sleepy as if I already had a dream.
JS prom was already a big topic. Some were excited, while some were problematic. Ma’am Jacque told some tips for chubby and flat chested. We also have to practice how to wear shoes with heels. Whoa?! For me, JS prom would be a great experience; especially you have your lovelife that time. Haha! Preparations were also greatly needed; somehow I am excited with it.
Ma’am Tenny also gave some diet tips, yet I don’t need it, instead I need those fats!
30 minutes is really short that’s why Ma’am Arlene can’t discuss, so she just let us see the bird sketches we’ve done when she’s not around.
What I’ve drawn was a “Maya” .. It was only a simple and small bird, because for me [excluding of being small] I can only do light things for now, yet I am always searching for attainments.
RAT reviewers were at the Chem Lab when we came, so when Ma’am Bisa saw us, we first greeted her an advance “Happy Birthday”, then she told us to make a poem about atoms. Ofcourse everyone did it as an assignment. [what’s new?!]
We don’t have zoo, yet Anal Geoms have. That’s why we decided to watch a movie, and it was “Shutter”. I’ve already watch Thailand version of it, but this time it was an English version.

Campus Idol
It’s time for freshies and sophomores
We were impressed by the freshies! Almost all of them look prepared!
Elea’s brother joined and all of the juniors cheered for him as he sang “awake”. Kuya Banjo’s brother gets the attention of the crowd as he started he’s obviously rock song, with a fully energetic expression with a twist of “mute” microphone!!! lol
While on the turn of sophomores, at first it was almost boys. Emmer and his partner [actually I am not sure of his name, but I guess it’s Justin] made all of us laugh, not only with their performances but also with their interpretative dances.
“Huling Elbimbo” was obviously their favorite, that’s why Ma’am Jennette asked them if they know who Paraluman is. But they don’t! Even me haha!

All of the semi-finalists were presented, and that ends the program.
At the Flag Retreat, I was looking at him. I’m not sure why, but I know I really don’t like his attitude. The way he socializes and pretends something he’s not. Kuya Joeven gave us a punishment, a countdown squat, yet boys with long hair had worse having 70squats.
“Exercise complied with Sir!"

It all starts with GOD
Many people try to use GOD for their own self-actualization, but that is a reversal of nature and is doomed to failure. You were made for GOD, not vice versa, and life is about letting GOD use you for his purposes, not using him for your own purpose. The Bible says, “Obsession with self in these matters is a dead end; attention to GOD leads us out into the open, into a spacious, free life.”

Background of the Study [A Biofuel from Paraffin Wax of Meat]

In chemistry, paraffin is the common name for the alkane hydrocarbons with the general formula CnH2n+2. Paraffin wax refers to the solids with n=20–40.
The simplest paraffin molecule is that of methane, CH4, a gas at room temperature. The solid forms of paraffin, called paraffin wax, are from the heaviest molecules from C20H42 to C40H82. Paraffin wax was identified by Carl Reichenbach in 1830.
Paraffin, or paraffin hydrocarbon, is also the technical name for an alkane in general, but in most cases it refers specifically to a linear, or normal alkane — whereas branched, or isoalkanes are also called isoparaffins. It is distinct from the fuel known as paraffin oil or just paraffin, which is called kerosene.
The name is derived from the Latin parum (= barely) + affinis with the meaning here of "lacking affinity", or "lacking reactivity". This is because alkanes, being non-polar and lacking in functional groups, are very unreactive.
Liquid paraffin, or mineral oil, is a mixture of heavier alkanes, and has a number of names, including nujol, adepsine oil, alboline, glymol, medicinal paraffin, saxol, or USP mineral oil. It has a density of around 0.8 g/cm3. Liquid paraffin (medicinal) is used to aid bowel movement in persons suffering chronic constipation; it passes through the gastrointestinal tract without itself being taken into the body, but it limits the amount of water removed from the stool. In the food industry, where it may be called "wax", it can be used as a lubricant in mechanical mixing, applied to baking tins to ensure that loaves are easily released when cooked and as a coating for fruit or other items requiring a "shiny" appearance for sale. It is often used in infrared spectroscopy, as it has a relatively uncomplicated IR spectrum. When the sample to be tested is made into a mull (a very thick paste), liquid paraffin is added so it can be spread on the transparent (to infrared) mounting plates to be tested.
PARAFFIN, the name given to a mineral wax and oil, and also used as a generic name of a particular series of hydrocarbons.
Paraffin is a white or bluish-white, translucent, waxy solid substance, of laminocrystalline structure, devoid of taste and smell, and characterized by chemical indifference. It consists of about 85% of carbon and 15% of hydrogen. Although the credit of having first (in 1830) investigated the properties of solid paraffin, obtained from wood-tar, belongs to Karl Reichenbach, the existence of paraffin in petroleum had been more or less hazily known for some time previous. In 1809 Fuchs found solid hydrocarbons in the Tegernsee oils, and in 1819 Buchner separated them from these oils in comparative purity. By the latter they were described as " mountain-fats," and they were identified with paraffin in 1835 by von Kobel. Reichenbach described the results of a series of experiments on the reactions between various substances and paraffin, and on account of the inert nature of the material gave to it its present name (from the Lat. parum, too little, and affinitas, affinity); he expressly stated that the accent should fall on the second " a," but usage has transferred it to the first.
Paraffin was obtained by Laurent in 1830 by the distillation of bituminous schist, and in 1835 by Dumas from coal-tar; but the product appears to have been regarded only as a curiosity, and Lord Playfair has stated that prior to 1850 he never saw a piece of more than one ounce in weight. Paraffin is asserted to have been made for sale by Reichenbach's process from wood-tar by John Thom, of Birkacre, before 1835. In 1833 Laurent suggested the working of the Autun shale, and products manufactured from this material were exhibited by Selligue in 1839.
According to F. H. Storer, the credit of having first placed the manufacture of paraffin on a commercial basis is deservedly given to Selligue, whose patent specifications, both in France and England, sufficiently clearly show that his processes of distilling bituminous schist, &c., and of purifying the distillate, had reached considerable perfection prior to 1845. In its. present form, however, the paraffin or shale-oil industry owes its existence to Dr James Young. In 1850 he applied for his celebrated patent (No. 13,292) " for obtaining paraffine oil, or an oil containing paraffine, and paraffine from bituminous coals " by slow distillation. The process was extensively carried out in the United States under licence from Young,, until crude petroleum was produced in that country in such abundance, and at so low a cost, that the distillation of bituminous minerals became unprofitable. The highly bituminous Boghead coal, or Torbanehill mineral, which yielded 120 to 130 gallons of crude oil per ton, was worked out in 1862, and since then the Scottish mineral oils and paraffin have been obtained from the bituminous shales of the coal-measures, the amount of such shale raised in Great Britain in 1907 being 2,690,028 tons.
I’ve decided to focus on the wax of meat because it was commonly thrown, in short useless. Without knowing that it is a paraffin wax which could be a cheaper alternative for Biofuel. And we all know that Biofuel is one on the great list of problems in poverty. One great circumstance that paraffin wax was used is when Paraffin fuels test launch on Oct. 18, a scorching blaze lit up the moonscape of Nevada's Black Rock Desert as a 10-foot rocket burst 16,000 feet into the air. The launch was powered by an unlikely but potentially safe and effective new rocket fuel -- candle wax.
It surprised me at first because I don't think of wax as a particularly energetic or powerful rocket fuel.
Paraffin was previously thought to be weak, easily broken and unsuitable for use as rocket fuel. But Cantwell's team found that it is quite strong -- at least twice as strong as conventional solid propellants. The paraffin they use as rocket fuel is the same material used as hurricane candles and sculptor's wax. "Paraffin" is a generic name for a family of simple hydrocarbons with carbon chain lengths ranging from 20 to 40. Different group members are suited to different applications.
Paraffin fuel can contribute significantly to making it safer and cheaper to get into space. If that were accomplished, human access to space would become more routine, and the ability to do scientific studies and commercialize the use of space would also increase dramatically.
Conventional rocket fuels are either solids or liquids, but paraffin fuels are used in a hybrid system combining solid and liquid materials. An oxidizer such as oxygen or nitrous oxide is generally used with all fuel types to aid burning.
Solid fuels include a rubberized material incorporating the oxidizer and other additives such as aluminum or ammonium perchlorate. The fuel-oxidizer composite is dangerous, as it may explode even during shipping and installation. The fuel burns very rapidly in the rocket combustion chamber to generate the rocket propulsion force known as thrust. Once the solid fuel is ignited, the rocket motor cannot be shut off. This is dangerous because there is no chance to ensure adequate thrust build-up before take-off.
Liquid rocket fuels include kerosene and liquefied hydrogen. In these systems, the fuel and oxidizer are held separately in large tanks and then fed into the rocket chamber, where they mix and burn. Valves are used to regulate fuel and oxidizer flow, and increase, decrease or shut off thrust. This allows more control over the launch process than do solid fuels. The system relies on complex and expensive machinery, however, and is subject to catastrophic fires.
Hybrid rocket fuels are considered a safer alternative to traditional solid and liquid fuel systems. In hybrids, the thrust chamber contains only solid fuel. This reduces the potential for devastating fires and explosions. The oxidizer is ignited as it is forced over the fuel surface. Like liquid systems, hybrids can be throttled, but require only one set of valves -- for the liquid oxidizer.

Research Topic

1. My research is all about “A Biofuel from Paraffin Wax of Meat”
2. I’ve decided to focus on the wax of meat because it was commonly thrown, in short useless. Without knowing that it is a paraffin wax which could be a cheaper alternative for Biofuel. And we all know that Biofuel is one on the great list of problems in poverty. Paraffin wax is mostly found as a white, odorless, tasteless, waxy solid, with a typical melting point between about 47 °C to 64 °C ( 116.6°F to 147.2°F), and having a density of around 0.9 g/cm3. It is insoluble in water, but soluble in ether, benzene, and certain esters. Paraffin is unaffected by most common chemical reagents, but burns readily. Pure paraffin wax is an excellent electrical insulator, with an electrical resistivity of between 1013 and 1017 ohm metre. This is better than nearly all other materials except some plastics. It is an effective neutron moderator.Paraffin wax (C25H52) is an excellent material to store heat, having a specific heat capacity of 2.14–2.9 J g–1 K–1 (joule per gram per kelvin) and a heat of fusion of 200–220 J g–1. This property is exploited in modified drywall for home building material: it is infused in the drywall during manufacture so that, when installed, it melts during the day, absorbing heat, and solidifies again at night, releasing the heat. Paraffin wax phase change cooling coupled with retractable radiators was used to cool the electronics of the Lunar Rover. Wax expands considerably when it melts and this allows its use in thermostats for industrial, domestic and, particularly, automobile purposes. In industrial applications, it is often useful to modify the crystal properties of the paraffin wax, typically by adding branching to the existing carbon backbone chain. The modification is usually done with additives, such as EVA copolymers, microcrystalline wax, or forms of polyethylene. The branched properties result in a modified paraffin with a higher viscosity, smaller crystalline structure, and modified functional properties. Pure paraffin wax is rarely used for carving original models for casting metal and other materials in the lost wax process, as it is relatively brittle at room temperature and presents the risks of chipping and breakage when worked. Soft and pliable waxes, like beeswax, may be preferred for such sculpture, but "investment casting waxes," often paraffin-based, are expressly formulated for the purpose.Paraffin Wax is one of several acceptable candle waxes used in the Jewish menorah ritual.

4. I’ve thought of this since last year, yet I had a doubt on the expenses I would take and even the processes. But through several researches this January 24, I knew how it would be cheaper and better than kerosene.

2. Malunggay contains polyphenol compounds that act as antioxidants to help prevent and repair damage to the skin done by accidental sun exposure. The skin damage is related to the destructive activity of free oxygen related radicals produced by skin
cells. Polyphenolic components of malunggay have been compared to traditional antioxidants, such as tocopherols, used by the cosmetic and pharmaceutical industry to prevent skin damage. Results show polyphenols as having the highest activity as radical scavengers.

hapiness is only real when shared

MONDAY
Ma’am Rhea splashes our comic strips on her period. Comments wouldn’t be gone of course. And for my work, “ui! Inspired sya dyan!” as they’ve yelled.
We had a “paluwagan”. I joined the two groups for a bigger allowance. So I need an extra P30 to separate from my other usual expenses.
With her”aged” mind(Ma’am Evelyn), she forgot that we’ve already reported last week. So now we just repeated what we have said last week. Yet she was really urging us to study in a “humble and cracking” way? yah!

While walking through Chem.Lab
Claud: I want to invent a time machine!
Roselle: Me I want Doraemon! ☺☺☺
Shalice: An airplane which is flying backwards would be the best!

I buckle down a Christmas decoration with Claud, while the others did different stuff. Loriza and Roxanne were our menace as we let them get pooped on doing “bad things”. Yet in the end, we still clinch our designs and decorate our part which is TRC.

TUESDAY

I read “Message in the Bottle”, a novel of Nicholas Sparks, while on the way to school. It was recommended by Felariz which is a story of Theresa and Garrett. Theresa is an editor who found a letter in a bottle while she was having a walk on a sea; actually it wasn’t a simple letter for her coz it really touches her heart as a girl, while the writer was a guy who wrote it for Catherine, the girl he loves. Theresa decided to post it in her column, but Garrett and Catherine would be unknown. Many readers loved it; some even give some phone calls or e-mails to ask who wrote it coz he definitely seems to be extraordinary. Until a girl named Michelle, ask her a favor about the real names of the writer and the girl. Theresa didn’t entertain her questions, but when Michelle told her that she found a letter with the same feelings as what she had posted and the writer was Garrett, and Catherine was the girl. Theresa became curious. She found out that the letter that Michelle found was years previous than what she peep. Theresa doesn’t know why but though she doesn’t know who Garrett really is, she fell in love with him. So she decided to travel and look for Garrett, nothing would be lost if she will. [Continuation in the next posts I was too busy to finish it yet]

Actually, we only had an MPS on Math, so I didn’t let the time be wasted so I continued flipping the pages of “Message in the Bottle”. But then some told us to stop, Fela was reading also, and told us to focus on the MPS [I don’t like? Hehe]
Until Physics that’s what we did, MPS and of course read, we just make sure to rise correctly. No more MPS on recess, no disturbance anymore.
After reading I was so sleepy in Chem. Ma’am Kim quite got mad because of our payments which we always give so late or sometimes she just let us to write the activities yet we’re still so slow, for the copy of activities she gave.
Another MPS, these were papers of freshmen from their division tests in every subject that’s why it’s many. Of course read again!!!

I had my lunch with Camille, Zab and Paulo. Afterwards I chat with Camille; far and away it was all about LOVE!
While chatting with her I missed to have a dry run on our report for AP. Luckily we’re the first one that had the report. I only practice while my co-members were already reporting. [what a rush?!] After that report we had a quiz, as Ma’am Evelyn announces the “ugly ones” who got failing scores.
Sir Mojica didn’t have his classes in our section “only?” coz they said he was having “tampururot” haha! [I don’t know the whole story or maybe I forgot] Anyway for us its better, so Kathreen just had her practice for the “Miss MATH-taba”.
We were now separated in Zoo. 3H and 3F belong to the class of Ma’am Marge so we were staying at 3F’s room, while 3N and 3O go with Ma’am Macaranas. They also announced our grades on our TRs, which they decided to include on our Second Grading grades, [those were really failing!]

WEDNESDAY

I am still half way on flipping. Ma’am Rhea just gave as a simple seatwork while the others were busy preparing for the Math fest.
After a discussion in Physics, we had an apathetic activity [wahaixt!]
There will be Evaluators who would come over. That’s why Ma’am Kim just asked us to clean the whole lab in a blitz [whoa!]. She assigned us in different tasks. I with Fela was assigned on the book shelves. I am aware of having general cleaning that’s why if you would really ask me to clean a specific place I would really try to clean
even a single part, [but sometimes it depends on my mood], but most of the time I am so slow!

We don’t have a class with Ma’am Tenny yet we were so busy with our Christmas decorations inside the room.
NO LUNCH today ..I’ve waited for Camille and Zab but they had a late dismissal in Chem so we just bought something to eat but nit rice.
I was shocked when Ma’am Evelyn called my name. Actually this wasn’t a fussy feeling of nervous, contrary it was an overwhelming sense coz that’s the first time she called me in my name. We were just few in the discussion coz some were excuse for the Math fest yet I enjoyed it!
We watched Kathreen in her practice; she was really improving this time “LIKE A VIRGIN!”
It rained ..nothing haha’ I just loved it coz its not that hard. We discussed Tabing Ilog, it’s about lovers who were so happy but in the end, it wasn’t a happy ending at all yet fulfilling.

THURSDAY

Still I started my day by reading a chapter yet it’s still so far!
No Math, No seatwork at all! We’re all busy for the Math fest. While the others were still busy with the Christmas decorations.
When we had our Chem, I had unexpected problems, but it all came from one reason only. I forgot my assignment which is on a paper that we photocopied. I explained to Janina what could we do coz I can’t go back to get it. I compared my answers to Cyrille so her score would be the same with mine. One down! But unexpectedly, we need to write our answers in our quiz at the back of that paper. I just wrote it on my quiz notebook, it was fine then. Yet, another came. We need to pass it, so I did not. I still have to pass coz Ma’am Kim will let the 3O check it. I just rewrite it on the paper and passed it while they were discussing [whew!]
I had my lunch with Nobie, Asley, Cyrille and Eleazer. I had fun while eating, but annoyed at the same time. It was because he sat just on the table near us. As we went out, his classmates even teased me. [yaykx!]
As we discussed our topic in Filipino, which is still “Tabing Ilog”, we talked about the theme that the Author used. He gets out on reality. Yet it wasn’t fantasy, its just he wrote those positive contrary of Reality. Ma’am Arlene makes out our sincere minds about the vicinity we have.

We just had the group activity on Zoo so we stayed outside [to chat!] with Edward, Fela, Jez, Claud and Joy. Actually, Claud was the only one who’s my group mate there. Jez is even an Anal.Geom student. But really had fun chatting there though Ma’am Marge thought we were busy doing the activity, yet we didn’t do anything.
We the decorations at the TRC, I was so annoyed with Roxanne!!! But I should have the temper, unless I want to be defeated.
-experienced to admire someone, who you think isn’t right yet there’s some butterflies you felt as you see him. Hm? Who is he? [it isn’t he!]

My companions decided to go home late, infact there will be no classes tomorrow. It was raining, so as we waited for Cyrille we stayed at the gym. They played volleyball but I did not join. I am


not interested, ever since that’s why. I just sat on the side, that’s why Nobie hit me unintentionally. I was so annoyed yet we had fun! Butterfly was there ..haha☺
When I went home I saw my mom while I am walking. She treated me a shake. Actually everytime I’m with her they usually say that we don’t look like “mag-ina”. And she took it for granted; coz maybe what’s on her mind was she doesn’t look like a mom, she’s just small! Haha☺ [as if I’m not? It just runs on the blood] But everytime they we’re asking where I am studying, she was so proud of me!

It’s already Math Festival!
Indeed, we started our day by our assignment in Chem [haha!]
Then, it was started by Math Quiz at the gym while the other games were held at different spots in school.
I weren’t able to watch others instead of the Math Quiz. Sir Ces seems to be a terror there as he gives the Mathematical instructions. We prop our classmates Ces, Zyrex and Nobie who looked so serious at first at the individual and elimination part, but when they go off and had the grouping, they seem to be our usual classmates who act like kids and make silly things. But they started so good, as they rack up scores in the level of leading, while we stayed at the gym and try to answer those Mathematical related questions. So we did’ I guess not more than 5 haha! But after the first set, they got low scores already, and I guess they just played with it! That’s life it’s just normal if you know them. I had my lunch with Karen and Jerika. Honestly I didn’t take breakfast that’s why my stomach was really aching when it was already 12. But while were walking, Jerika noticed that she lost her P200. I want to help her find it but my stomach was really aching and what I want to do is just EAT!!! [her? haha!] So we decided to lend her first. Just after I also noticed that I lost my P50, though it’s lesser than hers it was still important but ofcourse I didn’t ask then to go back, infact I still have money left in my wallet. We finished our lunch, while Jerika just ate snack, and my stomach was still aching. I guess ulcer was attacking that time! [yaykx]
After lunch, I had the chance to chat with Karen, though it’s not like the way before, I was happy to talk with her and Camille.
Afterwards MATH-taba and Math Jingles hit the road. We waited for the contestants, especially our very own Kathreeen. She was so sexy that time with her dress though she was very conscious with her knee. [haha!]

Martin was the first one who bring off his dance with Karla, then Kathreen followed with Aaron. We all yelled and follow them as we cheer up for our representatives. The other years performed, we all enjoyed on their turn out performances. We also get a kick out of the jingles from every year. Of course we enjoyed ours the most! [theorem! theorem! theorem! rem! Pythagorean, Pythagorean!] with the very special participation of Sir Elea!
Kathreen did not won but [we were all shocked when she got the fourth place, as in! We even thought she would be the winner!] she’s still our winner and our one and only Miss Math-taba. However, we won on the Math Jingle!!!
It was really a GREAT DAY OF MATH&HAPPINESS!
