Merry Christmas everyone!

Wow, the fact that it's finally Christmas break still can't enter my mind. Exams are somehow still fresh. Well, it was just 2 days before. Ok, let's talk about the exams. Although it was only 2 days, it was still hard, as always. For the first day, I didn't have the urge to study. I'm not in the mood especially it's all about numbers, Trigonometry and Mathematics.:| The next day, I somehow became in the mood to study knowing it's Civics- hard yet challenging. I don't know but while taking our last exam, Journalism, I just kept on thinking that minutes would pass and finally it's Christmas break! Although our class adviser wasn't present for our Christmas party, it was still a bit fun.Moving on, it's Sunday, a day that would make me remind it's gonna be Monday tomorrow. Classes again. Oh wait, not now. I almost forgot, it's already Christmas break! The first two days started well. I slept for seevral hours, watched tv, surfed the net, and went out just as what I've wanted. Btw, 6 days to go and it's Christmas. Yay! :D It might be too early but I just wanna wish everyone, Merry Christmas!

Just passed by to say hi

 I'm in the middle of making this journal of ours in CAF. Just passed by to say hi and to rest eventhough I'm still typing. :| Ok bye. I'm gonna start typing again.:P

6 days to go

I just love counting. 6 days to go and we'll have our most awaited Christmas break. So excited! I won't wake up early anymore. I don't need to sleep late just to memorize those hand-outs and formulas given. On Christmas break, I'd really make up to the things I missed. I'm gonna make it fun! (",)

A piece of cake

Credits to Google

I posted this because I just want you to know, I LOVE to eat chocolate cake. Of all the flavors, why chocolate cause it's a very common flavor so a lot of people already  like this? Sorry, because I also don't know. I'm not saying I love this just because other people love this flavor or just because I don't want people to say I don't have a taste. I just love the sweet (well duh?!) and simply it's chocolate flavor. I just love to eat a piece of cake and make it chocolate.

Itsy bitsy burger

 I saw this miniature on Google.It had a caption saying this is the world's smallest burger. I'd like to taste one!

Santa Claus

It's funny how we thought when we where still small that Santa Claus is true. We wait excitedly during Christmas eve for him to come. We wonder how he looks, how he enters our house when you've got no chimney HAHAHA, and of course what he brought for us. I place my socks at our door and when I wake I rush to see what's inside. There was a time when I received chocolates and candies, a watch, and even cash. You just can't imagine my smile and the happiness I feel inside. Oh, if only I'm still a kid. I'd like to experience again receiving gifts from Santa Cla--oh wait, I mean my parents.:)))

Gotta live like we're dying

Wait, don't get me wrong. I'm not saying goodbye.:D It's just this thing up there. I say it's true. We should really live like we're dying. Like we don't waste time. We spend it with our loved ones. We should make it up with the people we have hurt or forgive the people who have hurt us.We should do the things we want so we won't have regrets. Why say, I'll do it later if you can do it now? When will we do or say these things? During the time when we can't anymore do or say it? Let's not make regrets.

It was quite cold today

This is really the month of December. It's so cold today.Burrrrr! and I like this kind of weather except that it rained. Hope it will be the same next time. At least even if we can't experience snow here we can still feel it's Christmas brought by the cold weather.

Exams- next week

Again, I'm gonna complain about the pressure in school-exams. It will be next week. I'm quite happy since we'll only have two days to take the exam.Shorter but I know harder. Imagine, on Friday we'll take Chemistry, Geometry, and Civics? How am I gonna study all of this? I'm afraid I wound't remember anything. Hope not.

Spoiling the fun?

Ok. I admit. I'm such a huge kill joy. :(( We were planing to go to one of my classmates house, have fun, eat, swim, and do other stuff but I said I wouldn't come. First,who wouldn't want to enjoy? Of course, I'd really like to come.But wait, I've got to set my priorities. Let's say it's just one day of fun and surely I'm gonna miss it but then again, I've got things to do. Sorry :( I know I can do 2 things without missing anything through time management. So, I'm gonna think about it first. Am I gonna go or not?

We're done, finally

At last. This research paper of ours is done.I've been researching and researching about random facts to make this project good. I never thought that researching would be that hard even if all I have to do is to copy paste.>"( Ok. This is all for now. I'm about to print our research paper. Bye!

Watching Gossip Girl

I woke up and found nothing interesting to do then I remembered I borrowed Gossip Girl from my seatmate, Jewel.  I haven't watched the previous seasons that's why I'm not that interested to watch ' cause I know I can't relate. But, it turned out wrong. Even though I didn't finish watching it, I think it has a different yet interesting story.

The times I crave for hot fudge sundae

Credits to Google

There are afternoons where I feel so hungry then suddenly, I beg my sister to pass be McDonalds. Then I'll buy the food I've been craving for- hot fudge sundae. The mixture of hot fudge and sundae( by the name itself) just tastes so delicious! ;P Besides from the fact that it's affordable, it makes me taste a different side of life, a sweeter one!

My dearest SP

Even if you don't know I picked you, I'd like you to know that I'm so fortunate you, being my SP. We may not be that close still I know, deep inside you're a good person. I seldom see you being angry, continue that. I enjoy seeing you laugh. Hey, don't you feel so privileged being my topic on my blog? HAHAHA! Just jowking. :D You deserve this. Thank you for being my SP!

What do I want?

Every time there's exchange gift in school, saying what I want is hard. This is only making  a very simple decision but why does it take me so long to think what I want? Maybe because I don't want to ask things I know I can't give or simply I want gifts that are useful, something I need not just a want.

tan,sec,sin,cos-huh?!

Seeing these things make my head break into pieces. This is our lesson in Trigonometry a week ago. Unfortunately, I don't understand a thing. Maybe it's my fault because I chose not to listen because I don't understand. Ugh! I just don't get it.

Last Curtain Call

Seeing the 4th year students take their last Curtain Call makes me realize that I'm gonna experience the same thing a year from now. Wow, I can't believe that things are happening so fast. A year from now, I'm gonna leave the school who used to be my home for 13 years. And a year from now like them, I'm gonna take my last Curtain Call.

Wearing Bob shoes

I saw these shoes well you call them Bob shoes on internet. I just posted these 'cause I think these shoes are really comfortable. Plus, it looks good!

To be or not to be happy

First, congratulations to all who won!

 Play is finally over. I actually don't know if I should be happy or not. I should be happy since practices are over. I could spend my whole weekend surfing the net, eating, sleeping and watching t.v. not anymore practicing. But maybe there's a reason for me not to be happy. It's this feeling of wanting to go back and correct things. The feeling of regret and guilt. It's like, "Why haven't we did this or that?" We offered our all starting from the amazing props, the nice story of our play and of course the characters we have but we didn't win.But don't get me wrong. I'm not saying I'm mad right now because we didn't win in CAE and CAF. It's just I knew we all did our best but we didn't win- the feeling of disappointment. But still, it's ok. It's not the end of everything!

patricia ada enojas

She wants to write on my blog but I won't let her!!>"(

5 hours to go

5 hours to go and we'll be the one  presenting our play. Scary! We haven't practiced that much so we're not that sure if we'll be able to perform well. Goodluck to us!

Quite busy with lookbook

I've got nothing to do then suddenly, I saw these awesome pictures. Credits to Lookbook!

If I were a boy?

Hello!;) It's been long since I haven't opened my blog and it's nice to know that I'm back. Well, sembreaks over and I hate it. Back to school again.:(( And not to mention we're now busy for the Playfest. And there's one thing that bothers me well, actually two. First, I have this mini role to play and and the problem is, I don't know how to make my voice louder. Second, I don't know how to make my voice like a man. Ugh!! :"< The only thing I could think for now is to shout during the play. That's crazy but it's for own and my classmates' sake. But how will I make my voice like a man? No idea! We'll see during the playfest, goodluck to me! 0_0.

Goodbye books and pen!

Classes are over. Thank God.;) Finally, it's our SEMBREAK. No more waking up at 5:00 in the morning and sleeping late. Goodbye to my books, my pen and my lovely calculator :P. Yes, I'm free! HAHA Free because I'd be able to wake up late, eat my brunch, watch tv and then take a bath at around 3:00. Yes, that's how I live my life. But no, I've got lines to memorize for the play, practice my diaphragm as what mrs. simpas said HAHA, and that's all.(",)

Speaking of rain to internet connection to no class

It's raining, but not that hard and I like it. I don't know why. I love this kind of weather. It rains only a bit, obviously it's cold and it's the perfect time to sleep and eat. But sometimes I hate it when it rains because I can't go out freely and sometimes (it's weird but i have to say this) there's no internet connection when it rains! Uh, ok. :'<. Yes, it's true. haha. I sometimes find it hard to connect  to the internet because of that thing called rain.And yes, heavy rains cause brownout which is a bigger problem. Well let's just think of the rain as a way of how God shows his blessings. We may have not noticed but we have benefited from rain. Obviously we're not farmers that needs rain for crops to grow but we are students right? So that means with heavy rain comes no class!!! HAHA. Mean.:/

Tommorow's the last day

Yes, tomorrow's the last day of exams. At least after 4 days of sleeping late, I'll be able to sleep early.I wont study anymore. I'll be able to surf the net whenever I want and lastly, I'll be able to blog! haha!:p

Right.I knew nothing..

I know by now, I should be studying because it's our exams but obviously I'm not. I feel so tired and sleepy already so I just decided to blog. But it's alright since I've already studied CAE and CAF but not Trigonometry. I actually slept at 1:00 last night (it's even already morning) just to study Civics and Math. I woke up at 5:00 a.m. meaning, I only had 4 hours of sleep and not to mention, I'm going to take exams which includes for me, 2 of the hardest subjects- Math and Civics. Yes, I know they're both hard but Civics was the hardest. I studied for it until 1 a.m. and it seems during our exams I knew nothing, honestly. Ok, for it not to happen again, I'd better study by now. Bye! =)

Note: I should have posted this yesterday but I can't, don't know why.

Next time, I won't just expect

Finally, all our Mastery tests are already done. At least, staying up until midnight was worth it. Obviously, I was busy since I have not opened  my blog for 4 days. I know, there are a lot who were able to blog even if they have a lot of things to do,and I'm not one of them. Well, who cares? Our Mastery test in Trigonometry was soooo hard. And who thought that CLE was the hardest of all? OK, next time, i won't just expect that subjects like CLE can be hard too.

Blue Eagles!

65-62.Rejoice! Ateneo Blue Eagles won!! Yay! I really went home early in order to watch the finals. Well, obviously it's worth it 'cause they won against FEU and not to mention they were 3 time champions.But, I'm a bit disappointed since Kirk Long wasn't able stand out during the game but good news since there came Ryan Buenafe who caused the team to win  after a 3 point shot he did for the last 20 seconds.

My first rosary

Imagine, I was already able to make my own rosary for the very first time during our SME Club. And obviously I'm so proud that I even blogged this thing. Back to my experience, if at first most of us thought inserting those beads on a string would be very tiring, somehow it's true since some of the beads were quite small so it needs a patient person to do a rosary. At first, I wasn't able to understand how it should look like but as I continued adding beads it just came naturally!:D as what one of my club mates said. We even finished earlier than the rest of my club mates.

Cram!

October 4- deadline for the project in CAE. Today, September 30-I haven't started.

Cram! Oh no, I have only three days left to do my book report and next week's our exam! I know, we were given two months do our book report so I don't have the right to complain nor should I make any excuse. Pray, that I'm gonna finish my book report for two days to be able to study even just for one day.:(

AC got what?!

I know it's none of my business and I don't have the right to judge anyone and I respect that. But I also have the right to make my own opinion and everyone should respect that. I'm a bit curious about the AC got faces thing on Facebook. With the title itself, it's obviously about the most handsome and the prettiest people or to be specific, students. Maybe a lot was entertained seeing good looking people but the thing is, were these students aware that they will be part of this thing? :0

Finally did it!

Oh yes, finally I was able to do it. I was able to say Macbeth's soliloquy in front of my classmates and my teacher, of course not to mention be on a male costume.:) I was so nervous to go up stage, let's say a mini stage but as I said my first few lines I somehow felt confident.But as I said a few more lines up until the middle part, oh God, I forgot. I was staring blankly in front of my classmates and my teacher as i kept on thnking but thank God, I was able to remember and I'm satisfied with the grade I earned.=]

The Man Who Can't be Moved

I would be so proud to say this music video of my favorite song was made by me, but sad to say it's  made by me sister.:|

But thanks to her I've got something to blog about.:p

Movie Marathon?

For three long days, we did nothing in school since most of our teachers had a seminar so we're left to either watch a movie or do the certain activities they planned for us. September 22, we watched Odyssey for our Social Studies class and we watched G.I. Joe in the afternoon for our Science class. On the next day, September 23, I was so excited to watch Macbeth which I was kinda disappointed since it was quite boring. After that we watched Noli Me Tangere in preparation for our Play Festival. In the afternoon we watched a Broadway show by the students and staff of Assumption San Lorenzo which was kind of boring for me but let's just say they were so good in singing and acting.(two thumbs up! haha!) September 24 we watched My Sister’s Keeper which I was touched the most by its sad story. :|I’m happy that at least for three days I was able to have a “mini movie marathon” in the middle of a very stressing week:>

bla, bla,bla!

Is this a dagger which I see before me.....bla, bla, bla.:p Oh no,next week i'm gonna recite this thing. God, help me! Can you imagine that? I'm gonna recite a 32-lined soliloquy  knowing only a little of what I'm saying. No offense to those who love him but I mean, who would dare understand  a soliloquy of Macbeth? If memorizing a 14-lined sonnet made my head crack, what more in memorizing  a 32-lined one?  Not only that, we were also asked to act while saying the lines we've memorized and be on costume! No, i can't act. I can't even make my voice like a man. With all the things I've said, I don't mean our teacher is a terror making us do all these stuff. She's actually so nice and patient to us.:) If other batches before us was able to do this, I know we can and I know I can. Maybe in this challenge, it's not always how good your memory is. Maybe it's all about the guts you have and the risks you're willing to take.;)

100 years of Assumption

 (Just wanna share this poem I made for our assignment in CAE since I've got nothing to do and nothing to blog about.:">)

Happines on a scoop

Yum!

Sometimes, happiness can also be found on a scoop.What, on a scoop? Yes, you read it right. Happiness can be found on a scoop of an ice cream. How? when you're sad, won't you buy an ice cream to comfort you?Can you even imagine how the face of a child looks like seeing him or her with a Popsicle? Surely, he or she is smiling. Or if you still wont agree with me why not imagine fries dipped on chocolate sundae or snickers dipped on Haagen Dazs. Or simple your favorite flavor of ice cream added with tiny marshmallows, colorful sprinkles,chewy brownies , almonds, and topped with cherry? Oh, it would be heaven! Now, you agree with me that happiness is on a scoop or you'd prefer to be on cone? Whatever! :p

Wrong yet funny

Whut?!

Thanks to magkacollegenatayo.multiply.com

 Roam around the city, find signs with a wrong grammar, and take a picture of it. That's how our project in Journalism works.It's hard since taking a picture of a sign with a wrong grammar is so embarrassing. I mean, what would people think of me and my group mates when they see us taking a picture of something they posted without knowing it's wrong? Are we that perfect in terms of grammar? Well, let's just say this excuse: we're just doing our project.! There was even a time when we asked permission  to take a picture of something they posted but they said no. They even said we just make our own! :)) I know this project will be hard but honestly, laughing at other people's mistake is sometimes fun. We do not only learn, we also enjoy.:D

whatta week!

Wow.I have not opened my blog for six days.Well now, I'm back. First I wasn't able to blog since last Saturday and Sunday we had this Journalism Workshop.It's a two day workshop wherein we were trained to write news,editorial, and feature articles as well as copyreading and editorial cartooning.It was truly tiring since the writeshop was from morning 'till afternoon and all we did was to listen,eat  and write.We were so crowded and it was so hot but,I'm happy that at least over all the schools who joined, and knowing the fact that we have exams at the same week, still we bagged third place.:D Second, as what I've mentioned we had our exams last Tuesday,Wednesday, and Thursday and studying Math and Social Studies makes me sick-well, I mean hypothetically. Phew! Oh yes. I was QUITE busy and tired. But now, I'm just happy that every thing's fine and done. Back to normal.=) Oh wait, not until they've given our exam scores.:( hahaha.We'll see...

Shoes bring people to good places...

Many say it's true.That shoes do bring us to good places. Let's say they don't carry us, they don't make us fly. But, without them do you think we can reach places where we wish to be? Can we even say some places we've been were memorable if we don't have shoes to bring us there? Obviously not. If we look at it literally, shoes are made to make us feel comfortable. But why don't we look in a deeper perspective that shoes keeps our life going. It keeps us on taking steps thus making paths, building roads ....living life to it's fullest.:]

Nothing.Just wanna share this cute thing.Thanks to Photobucket.;))

Taize

haha.i'm planning not to include these pictures anymore'cause we really looked exhausted but never mind.:P
Tired.I've been awake for 12 hours (seriously) in the Taize prayer.This is a form of prayer done from 6 p.m. up to 6 a.m. with of course different activities. I was part of the Campus Ministry wherein I helped in doing different stuff like making name tags,standing most of the time holding the silence sign, even danced.hahaha.=) and many more. This Taize was started of course by a prayer followed by a getting to know each other game and the Vespers.After that, we took dinner which I was looking forward since the start.haha.We watched a short documentary about hunger in the Philippines and there was a talk. The students where then asked to go out with their groups for a short sharing wherein I was one of those who held one the signs of the different groups.I wasn't the only one sleepy but most where already tired as the night goes by.There was then another talk from a priest followed by confessions.We where then asked again to go out and again raise our cartolinas for the groups to know where they should go.I admit that was tiring but sure that was fine.haha.We then went inside wherein we are all so tired and that led to sleeping.zzzzz.(",(",) hahaha.Good that we have woke up before the mass could start or else we were seen with cartolinas in our face in the middle of the mass.waaat! XD. What made me awake was the brownout in the middle of singing Our Father wherein I was able to see the sun rise and realize that it was already morning and enter the fact in my mind that I was able to survive not sleeping the whole night not only with fun memories but lot`s of lessons in life to take home.;))

btw i'm...

Ok. I don't have any idea what to say.I'll admit it. It's my first time in this thing and I don't have any idea what to do. Maybe I'll start by introducing myself.I'm Norlene and if you wonder how I look, well I'm tall.err...that wasn't a good start.haha.=).I'll make this clear that love to eat. I love those long strings well you call them pasta and don't forget pizza. I love cakes especially the chocolate ones. I love fries, chips, burger, popcorn, and donut. Fine. I'll stop talking of food. I'll just share what music I'm into. I like songs of Katy Perry, Justin Bieber, and Taylor Swift. My favorite color is pink and violet.Too girly right? Well who cares? hahaha.I love Eclipse. You agree? This is acually the reason why I ike Dakota Fanning.I'm not a really a huge fan of Dakota but I like her flaming red eyes and dark eyeliner . BTW if you're curios why I named this blog Journalism, it's because this is actually our Journalism class' project.I've said a lot so I'll already end this. Hope you enjoyed, or did you? hahaha.XD

Passion makes the world go round.LOVE just makes it a safer place...
