A Cold Happiness
I'm so happy. You know why? Because today is our Cards Out. Usually, people don't call it that. They call it Distribution of Cards but in St. Scho we call it that, so the term Cards Out is already stuck in our vocab. Anyway, we almost did not get our card because we did not have a parent or a guardian around. Good thing Irene was around. I would like to thank her for coming with us to get our cards. While we were walking from the UN Station of the LRT to MaSci, I was already picturing myself crying because most of my grades were lower than the 1st quarter marks but I was wrong. I'm so happy because only two of my grades were retained and the rest were all higher than last quarter's. I actually gained 30 points all in all and if you use the averaging system, Ninyo is only higher by .1, so there's still a chance for me to be number 1. Anyway, everyone was happy with the marks that they received so we once again left for Quantum. I played the three machines, Dance Revo, Dance Maniax and Para Para. I really enjoyed playing and then afterwards we went to Maritoni's house to practice BDT's dance number for the upcoming Christmas Party. All in all, I enjoyed this day so much and I'm really happy. But, today is nothing compared to our experience yesterday. It is the most memorable experience I have with the Mendel/BDT pipz. The day started fine except for the fact that my sister was criticizing my outfit which was a brown Bohemian skirt paired with a brown, spaghetti strapped top and brown sandals. The Mendel pipz met at Jollibee EAC, 8 am. Of course we're Filipinos so we were able to go to Paco by 8:45 but then the people there told us that they'll only let people in at 10 pm. So we went to McDo and ate ice cream then we saw that the line was already long so we went down, lined up and survived the scorching heat of the sun. Inside, the Mendel pipz sat together and we did not really enjoy the play. We were too excited to go out and start our trip. When the play was finally over, I went with Maton to the Berzelius pipz since she was looking for Arvin, to get her money. I shouldn't have gone with her. My blood just boiled with what I saw. I pity her hand because her fingers were about to get broken. We immediately left before I can mutilate her hand. Vanir offered her hand to be my outlet. To release my anger? no, to release the unwanted emotion that I was feeling I was punching Ninyo while we were walking from Paco to Pedro Gil. I was even shocked that I agreed to walk when in fact I was wearing heels. Anyway, I was like a mother with 25 children yesterday because there were 26 of us who went to SM MegaMall. We rode the LRT then proceeded to the MRT then walked until we reached the biggest? mall in Manila. I was leading them even though I, myself had no idea where KFC is since it's my first time there with friends but since I'm like the mother, I asked the guard and so we arrived there, placing ten tables together to sit as one group. After that, we decided not to watch the movie anymore to maximize our skating time. I was so bummed out because my shoe broke. Anyway, I was once again the mother, buying the food, and then collecting money and buying the tickets for skating. And then, we were not aware but all of us were on ice. At first, others were still at the sides, reluctant to skate but after a few hours all of us were enjoying our time, Anna and Jv were already pros, in their own right. Most of the people experienced their first time on ice but they were already really good. We were enjoying our time there that we were not aware of anything else until it was time to go. Some of our companions left earlier, the rest of us who paid for unlimited skating were not aware that we needed the tickets issued to us when we got in to be able to go out and the penalty for lost tickets is 350 pesos per ticket. Nobody was holding the tickets and we had the idea that maybe one of our companions who left earlier had the tickets. We called several people but they said that they don't have the tickets. We were already panicking. We were in the verge of begging since our money is not sufficient to pay the penalty. Time was ticking since the rink is only open until 6:45. Good thing that there are really good people in this world. One of the staff, the boss I guess of the skating rink said that we can go home without paying anything as long as one of us signed the log book promising to give back the tickets, one of these days and if ever the tickets were really lost, we will only pay 1/4 of the original price. Heaven heard our prayers. We were able to go home after a really enjoyable but tiring day. Another problem faced us. Our parents, I mean their parents will surely scold them because it was already 7 pm when we left the place. All of us really learned a great lesson that day. We learned that even if we are already old enough to handle ourselves, there are still times that we need our parents to sort things out for us. An adult might not be the best companion in gimmicks but chaperones and guardians are there for a reason. When things go wrong, they are the ones who sort it out. I know that all of us learned how to think during the difficult times when everything seems to be lost. I, as the leader of the pack, learned that it is difficult to bear the responsibility when things really go wrong. Anyway, we still enjoyed the day though my feet really hurt and both my shoes were damaged. I still enjoyed the day even though I wasn't able to post this last night. I still consider December 10, 2005 as one of the most memorable days of my life because it is the day that I learned how to think and act like an adult, even if I'm not yet one. A word of advice to all of you out there. Please, don't take your elders for granted. Please don't think that since you're already 15 or 16, you're already old enough to go on your own. We took loads of pictures but I'm only going to post one, the group picture. The other 61 pictures can be viewed at http://www.flickr.com/photos/carmigz">CM's photo blog. So that's all folks. ttfn.
you know you love me
