Take a Deep Breath: It's been a long time since I came around .. ~

Familiar lines? :p If you're a Gaga-fanatic, I guess you should know this. xD This is the first line of lyrics of her song, You and I. I don't know why it just popped up in my head when I was thinking what to put as a title for the blog post. But anyway, this really relates to me, my post, and my blog, and it's been a long time since these came around together, and that this also involves you, my beloved readers/friends, and I. Get what I mean? LOL

Anyway again, I miss writing in this humble abode of mine .. well .. I don't know if this could also be called "humble" since I usually brag about stuff here. (haha) So yeah, I really miss everything and everyone here. I've always wanted to go back these past few days but I've been very busy, and that I've nothing in mind to blog, or I didn't have enough energy and inspiration to blog anyway. Then my fingers and my mind were also too tired to express, and I don't know why but, I'm not feeling that enthusiastic anymore in blogging, and it's pretty much unlike me back when I was in my early months in the blogging world. I wish I could get back my enthusiastic and inspired self once again.

So, shall we proceed? You may be asking what I've been up to these past few days. I was not in the blogging world for 20 days, and that's a lot of days for me. I'll just tell you the highlights. :)

Taking a picture with the iPad (and I'm not bragging, but if you think I am, I'm really not. LOL)

I know, the protective case isn't such a perfect fit, but it serves its purpose ;)

Again, I'm not bragging about it. It isn't mine anyway. LOL. It's my father's iPad, and he just lent it to me and my sister for use.

About my phone (refer to my previous post), it's working fine already! :D Thank God I didn't pursue asking my parents to buy me a new one. I found out the cause of the phone malfunction, and it's when I use wallpapers and screen savers that the system does not provide, in other words, those that come from my own files in my memory card. I don't know why this happens though. I am sure my memory card does not have a virus, but I know that it has almost too many files. xD But then again, I can't help but add more files, music files to be specific, since my music in the phone needs to be updated. LOL. I'm trying my best to lessen music downloading anyway, and in fact, I don't download new music anymore .. just pictures. Haha.

During the first few days of classes, I gotta admit, I wasn't that ready and focused on school yet because I sorta got a "hangover" from the Christmas vacation we had. I mean, those memories of our experiences during the flood were still in my mind that time, and it's been 2 weeks since I faced my books and processed information. But good thing I was still able to cope up. xD

Another thing that's interesting that I knew these past few days was that I discovered for sure that me and the other candidate(s) for valedictorian were having the same thought: to beat each other up (mentally. LOL) and make sure "only I should win!", or "I hope she doesn't cope up with the lessons, or catch up with me". Thanks to my guy friend, I knew about that. And besides, it's pretty obvious already that this was what was going on between us. But I could honestly say that I am only thinking of "fair competition" on this, but then again, they kept hoping and trying to pull me down, and even convince me to focus on things other than my studies. -___- I really hate this.

I know it isn't pretty obvious but, I do hate it when people convince me to do something I don't want and I'm not ready with, like getting me involved in relationships. I am firm in my decision to set aside that relationship thing till I finish college, but most of my classmates say "now is the right time", or "are you together already?", "when would you be together?", "what are you both now?". I have this guy friend whom I'm close with, and others thought that we're already a couple, but that's not true! I know we have mutual feelings for each other, but since I know that I am not allowed to have a boyfriend at this time, I told him to wait for some time to court me. xD For now we're just friends, and I emphasize that to you and to everybody. And besides, it's my way of testing him whether his feelings for me would retain for a long time or not.

We also had our exams this week. The tests were fine though, not too hard, not too easy. I gotta admit, exams every grading period get even more challenging, and I'm worrying what 4th Prelim might bring. I hope God will help me this time.

Another thing, for the first time in my school life, I, along with my other team mates in the Metrobank MTAP Math Challenge, won!! We placed 4th to be specific. I am also very proud of the other contestants in our school because all of them won as well! :) All those times when we were excused from classes were worth it! I'm glad I was lucky that time, and guided by God. I thank the Almighty God for this! I owe Him a lot! :D

That was a pretty good start of 2012. ^^, First inter-school contest I joined, we won instantly. xD

And oh, JS Prom is fast approaching! But before that, many activities are yet to come for me, like the BSP/GSP Camping, Investigatory Project Final Defense, Capitol Courier article-gathering, and those prom practices and preparations. I don't like the venue we're after by the way. It's pretty far from where we live, and where most of my schoolmates live as well. Thank God it isn't final yet, and I hope it won't be.

As usual, I've been gown-hunting online. LOL. Here are some gowns I was eyeing on:
