My mind kept on bothering me of random thoughts that pop into my mind like every hour. I'm going to share to you some of the thoughts I could still remember.

First Issue: Course to take in College. Well, yeah, I still haven't decided yet. I just don't know what I like, or what I wanna be. I just wanna be successful. Haha. But, it's really hard to choose, and I hate making decisions. I'm just afraid that I'll choose the wrong one, and end up having a regretful life. I don't want to be one of those people who did nothing but to blab about their regrets and stuff. No. So, yeah, I think I'll be spending my summer thinking it over. And HOPEFULLY, I will be able to find out what I really want in my life.

Second Issue: Enrolling in a good review center. Ionne, a good friend of mine, informed me of a very nice review center. LSC. I think, Loyola something. She said it's around 9k, but another friend of mine told me that they gave a 50% off discount on honor students. So, yeah, I don't know if they're still offering that huge discount on honor students this year. Well, hopefully. Because I feel like I really need to freshen up my memory. I have always observed myself, and realized that I keep on forgetting lots of things, especially lessons right after the test. Hahaha. I really don't know what's wrong with my brain. I feel really weird.

Third Issue: I miss my old classmates. =(( But, yeah, I really felt disappointed because of March 29. It was supposed to be a CLASS get-together. And guess how many were we? Only THREE. And yeah, as usual, I was the first one to arrive. I was alone at Megamall for almost two freaking hours. x-( So, yeah, now I really don't know if I should be the one to arrange another outing or get-together or whatsoever. Because, think about it, if only three were allowed or only three wanted to come to Megamall, how much more if it was a farther place? So there. I really don't know what to do with them. Haha. But one thing's for sure, I miss them so very much.

Fourth Issue: My mind keeps on bugging me, really. ) Haha, well it's quite funny. ) Because I feel like I want to write something, something that I'd be very proud of. I don't think it's a poem. It's something new, something at a more complicated level. But, the problem is, I really don't know what it is. I've been reading some books lately, and when I read books, I really feel inspired. Maybe that's the kind of inspiration that's been troubling me lately. But I swear, I can't get it off my mind. Haha. Sorry if I sound so retarded, I guess I really am. Haha. Or maybe, Eesah's brain just wants her summer to be worthwhile, fun at the same time meaningful. Oh yeah, I certainly hope that's just it. )

Well, yeah, you read that right. My third year life is already over. And I am so missing it right now [even if yesterday was just our last day] Especially TCJ, my beloved section. A lot of things have happened this year. I won't be enumerating all of them like I did last time. It's just too much. Hahaha. Anyway, here are at least some of the things I'll never forget about third year:

• TCJ ~ Of course, I'll miss this section. They've taught me so much and made me realize a lot of great things. They've showed me they really care for me, and I really feel special because of them. No words can express how happy I am to have them. And for sure, I'll never be forgetting them.
• Bettina ~ Yeah, being stuck with her is just fun. Hahaha! I really love her, and I'm gonna miss doing projects and all the other stuff with her. I was supposed to write her a letter on our last day, but unfortunately, I didn't get to finish it. Ohwell. I know she knows what I'm about to tell her anyway.
• YPI ~ Yeah, it's my band. My one and only beloved band. It's through them that I felt "talented" even just for once in my life. It's through them that one of my dreams were fulfilled. And I'm thankful that I'm with Mkat, Bejae, Isai and Charrie. I know no one else could be better for me than them. I know we didn't win anything during the battle of the bands. But I don't really mind. It's not just the band, it's the friendship that matters. I love you so much YPI, and I super thank you for being there for me always, especially yesterday when I needed someone to talk to. Thank you.  And also to you, our band manager, Dear. I love you.
• CLE ~ I'm so gonna miss our CLE lessons with Mrs. Pidlaoan. They're just great. You can really learn a lot from her, that you can't learn from any other teacher.
• VV ~ Yeah, I'm gonna miss being with them everyday. But I know we'll be spending summer together. Haha. I love you gals forever and ever.

So, here I go again. But now, I would be writing about the Second Quarter of my Third Year life.  Haha, so where do I start? Hmm. 

August 17 ~ The day when the Saint Rose of Lima Website was supposed to be submitted. Charrie, Bejae and I crammed for this website. By the way, the three of us were the representatives of III - TCJ for the Web Design Contest dedicated to Saint Rose of Lima. Luckily, we were able to submit the website in just the right time.

August 18 ~ The Elimination round for the Web Design Contest was held around 3 pm inside the CSR Computer Laboratory. In the elimination round, contestants were given only 3 minutes to explain the website. And yeah, we had a mistake there. We talked nonsense for like, the first 2 minutes, then Charrie, as good as she is, explained our website in just a minute. When we went out of the room, we were all so frustrated because we felt like the judges were all so biased. And we thought we didn't actually have a chance to be one of the finalists. During dismissal time, the three of us were called by Ms. Villaroman along with 2 other groups of contestants. We were wondering why we were called, then Ms. Villaroman congratulated us for being one of the finalists. And, yeah, we were all so happy. But the happiness soon turned to fear, as we realized that we need to present the website in front of the whole school.

August 22 ~ The day that we feared came. Yeah, it was the day when we are supposed to go up there in front and show our website to the whole school body. The first plan was, Charrie and I will explain up there, and Bejae will be navigating the site. I was too scared, and knowing the fact that Bejae's better in explaining in front, Bejae and I switched places. I was lucky enough to make Bejae agree with my plan. Haha! Anyway, so they were up there while I was taking care of navigating the site while they were explaining. Eximius was over supportive, and Bejae's charm seemed to have moved everyone listening to her. We were all so happy, of course. Afterwards, our batchmates have all been telling us that we would win, but of course, we refused to believe. I didn't want to have false hopes or anything. Nevertheless, I went home happy and satisfied.

As a lot of people know, I have my afternoon nap right after school. When I woke up, I received a text message from Charrie saying that we actually WON the Web Design Contest, and that our website is posted on the CSR Website. I quickly got out of my bed to check the CSR website, and there, I found our masterpiece.  I was so happy of course. 

August 23 ~ The day when the contestants will be rewarded. We were actually declared as winners. Hahaha, I had this really funny feeling inside me. So we went up there, received our gold medals, feeling all proud of ourselves. It was truly an amazing day. Afterwards, Ampee, Mkat and I went to the mall just for fun. We watched Click, ate at Wendy's, and, I already forgot what else we did. Hahaha

September 1 ~ We had a theater-play viewing of Noli Me Tangere at the AFP Theater. This was the most memorable of all our theater-play viewings because this was when the Rosenas actually got into a fight with the AFP Theater Crew. Well, not really into a fight, but a misunderstanding. I won't talk of it that much, but bottom line is, everyone got pissed off.

September 6-8 ~ Holy Retreat of the Eximius at the Tagaste Retreat House. Nothing much happened here, or maybe I'm just too lazy to blab about stuff. Haha. I enjoyed this retreat, it taught me one of life's greatest lessons.

September 10-13 ~ PRISSAAP National Youth Congress at Teacher's Camp, Baguio. I was with Ampee almost the whole time here. A lot of things happened here, but again, I'm just too lazy. Haha. It was really fun, and especially I got the chance to bond with Ampee again, because we don't really bond that much.

After the PRISSAAP Congress, we were all so busy catching up on our lessons, having very long chapter tests, and facing Project Week. I barely got the chance to go online and chat with my friends and bestfriends, especially Blanche and Ian. I'm so sorry for that.

Anyway, I forgot the date when Milenyo came to ruin the Philippines, but all I could remember was a week of no classes. For the first time, I was able to experience Typhoon Signal No. 3, and trust me, it wasn't at all nice. It was very, very scary. But, even after all the destruction that Milenyo left, it taught me again one of life's greatest lessons. Having no electricity for 6 days made me realize how much I am attached with material possessions, especially the computer, that I am already forgetting the most important thing in my life. Milenyo gave me a chance to bond with God and also made me realize how much I need Him in this life.

After Milenyo, came loads and loads of work to do. Our busy schedule became even busier, and I was so close to experiencing depression. Thanks to him for being always there to help me with like, everything. Hahaha.

I actually can't remember what else happened in October, but here are some of the events I can still remember [because they're quite recent! ]

October 16 ~ The killer Javascript Practical Exam. I'm saying "killer" because this was the test with the lowest scores experienced by the Eximius. First, the exam was 90 items in all. But since our scores were all so low, our teacher decided to tone down the items to 70. But still, even when it was already toned down, only 6 students in the batch passed. So our teacher decided to have this Remedial Exam for everyone except those 6 students. I still don't know the results of the Remedial Exam, but I sure hope that it's better than the first.

October 18 - 21 ~ Second Quarter Exams. Generally, our exams were all hard except for some, just some.

October 21 ~ Bandage at DBTI. This was very disappointing at first, I wouldn't tell you why, Just message me. Nevertheless, I had fun.  It was a good way to spend the last day of hell.

October 23 ~ Eximius Field Trip at Morong-Baras-Tanay. The field trip was nothing compared to last year. But I still had fun. I spent the day with Bettina and Edizza. Since Ampee and Dorothy were on the other bus.

October 24 ~ I went to Bettina's house around 1pm to do our Computer and Trigonometry projects. We did the Computer project for like, 5 hours. But it turned out to be really beautiful, right Bettina? Hahaha. Our project was to make a website containing Interactive Tutorials for Nursery, Kinder1 and Kinder2 students, using HTML and Javascript. And this was the reason why I have been singing the "If you're happy and you know it clap your hands" song for like, 3 days or more. Yeah, I'm really childlike.

October 25 ~ We had our living rosary in the field. Nothing much happened in the living rosary. Afterwards, we had our classes, received the results for our periodical exams. Mine was okay, but my first quarter exam results were better than now. Anyway, I'm still thankful.

October 26 ~ During the morning, Sashi and I got quite irritated because of the UN thingy. We still had no entry for the Advocacy Ad and it was supposed to be submitted the next day. Anyway, we planned to go to Paoville, Ramonelle's house to do the Advocacy Ad. Sashi, Joy, Ramonelle, Genine, Bettina were there. So there, we started a little late already. Bettina and I even got the chance to wear the soldier's hat and have a video with real soldiers. We also took a video of a real airplane. We even asked some kids to join our video. Then we encountered this really really big problem. We could not transfer the video to the computer for editing since we used the mini DV tape, and not the memory stick. We were all so frustrated already, we even planned to go to Market Market so that the experts could do the transferring and editing but we ran out of time. So, after an hour of time wastage, we had Plan B. Plan B was to simply forget about everything we've taken a video of, and start a new one. We actually taped a 6-second video of ourselves saying "Promote peace, Stop the violence, Do it for the children." Then, I compiled pictures relating to the theme, and Lemmie made the video using Flash. We did that from 10pm until 530am. I got some 2 hours of sleep only, and when I was about to go to sleep, my mom told me to wake up since it was already 530am. I was really feeling a bit dizzy and odd, but still I was able to go to school safe.

October 27 ~ The UN Celebration and the Math & Science Week Celebration. The UN program started. Oh yeah, before it started, we had a problem. Our previous Filipino teacher, now a History teacher approached me to say that our Advocacy Ad isn't working. So Charrie, Sashi and I went there looking all worried, while saying to myself that "it should work! it should work!" Well, yeah, it worked, the person controlling the cd's there just doesn't know how to open a VCD.   Going back, Charrie presented our picture for the Photo Exhibit. And we also presented our Advocacy Ad. Luckily, III - TCJ won in both. We had our recess, then the Math & Science Week Celebration started. The Eximius band performed, and surprisingly, they won against all the other year levels. Also, Pauline Feraren, Nadine Suyosa, Ching, TF, Sashi and I joined the poster-making contest held a month ago. It was awarded that day too, and we also won against the other year levels. So it was a really happy day for the Eximius. When I got home, I got a lot of sleep. Haha. It was such a tiring day.

My main plan this sembreak is to take a long, long rest. Hahaha. I just finished editing my Multiply and Friendster accounts. Hooray for me!

I think I should end this entry now, because I can sense people already yawning because of this entry. Again, I would just like to thank God for another nice and challenging quarter. And thanks to you too, thanks for reading this entry!  Comments are all the more appreciated.
