Last thursday, I finally got the chance to watch one of the games live. For our PE class, we went to the West Negros Gymnasium to watch the men's volleyball game (indoor) - Thai vs. Phil. The venue was packed but really, I had fun. I could see how much the Filipinos supported the team. Despite the loud cheering on the Philippine Team, the Filipinas got all giddy when they saw Thailand's #12, P. Nimawan. They were literally screaming and clapping their hands so hard that i swear I felt the gym shake! Or was it just me? Nevertheless, this certain Nimawan captivated the hearts of the Filipinas.. including my schoolmates, and maybe even me. (Wish I could post his picture, but I'm currently having a difficulty in finding one..)

The Thailand men's volleyball team is undefeated thus, as expected, they beat the Phil team with 98-69. Go Thailand! I'm pretty sure they'll make it to the finals. Who could ever beat Supachai's spiking and serving abilities?

I'm still wishing that I could be able to witness the finals this Monday. BTW, that's the last day of the SEAGames.. The Philippines is currently leading. Think we'll win something this big? WE'LL FIND OUT SOON.. As for now, let me just scream my heart out, "waaaaaaaaah #12!!!"

 

 As for me, I’m still here.. I know I haven’t been around for quite sometime (look at my last post, September. Yikes!) This must be my longest hiatus yet! Waah! I am so bad! I’m going to make a longer post to compensate..

 

We had our sembreak starting October 31, and we’ll be back this November 7 – which is this coming Monday. Yikes! What have I been up to? A lot. BUT I haven’t done even just a bit of my schoolwork though.. *waaaa* (hides in shame) I am busy doing nothing and going out. That’s it. Lazy ass!

 

Here’s a recap.

 

Last November 1, we went to the Chinese cemetery (Greenhills). I actually had fun, me and my beloved cousiness Abi went roaming around the place and found a lot of schoolmates, and batchmates. The weather was totally hot and stuff so we decided to stay there at Kristine and Kenneth’s place and play cards. After a few games we got some Ice Monster (blueberry + peach! Yummmm..) Then Abi and I left for  a bit and then when we came back, we RESUMED playing cards. (gamblers, tsk tsk. But we don’t gamble at all..:lol:) We sat down at the floor, because it was getting uncomfortable.. Then later I saw a car with ABS-CBN on it and a guy was sitting by the window holding out a videocam. I was joking about us being on TV and stuff but we were just laughing and still resumed our play. Then that night, I tuned in to the news and guess what?! That footage with us in it was shown all over the news! I was literally laughing all over because Abi and Kristin’s face couldn’t be seen, their backs were on the camera, and Kenneth who sat beside me was looking away so I was waaaay too obvious in there. Waaaah! Tahor! (an ilonggo world for gambler) They told me..

 

The next day we went out and had fun again! First stop was Robinson’s where we raided WOF and played our favorite thingie – the bumpcars! After riding them twice, we went out to eat and while we were outside Dairy Queen, we saw Jolens and I knew instantly that she was going to meet *loverboii* in there (her new boylet.. haha). So we decided to eat at Tater’s and then *loverboii* was getting hesitant about meeting up with Jols because he’s shy and because she’s with us.. All that crap. Apparently, he already knew how Jols looked like and there he was, sighting on her and she didn’t even knew how he was supposed to look. Weird nila. Anyway, the dorkass guy didn’t really approach Jols. He’s such a wimp. After Rob’s, we went to Bo’s for a bit, and grabbed our froccinos before going to the Negros Museum. You may say we’re nerdy geeks for loving museum trips, but this was different. They had a special show going on, it was called Waxworks and it had a horror room setting. Perfect for us fun seekers. It was really very cheap at 10php entrance fee BUT it wasn’t worth the very long wait! We arrived at about 4:30PM (because we are punctual!) and we just waited while playing cards and chatting at the car park (Ardie brought his car, he’s our classmate slash driver btw. lolx) The show was supposed to start at 5pm but the museum was still closed! We waited.. and waited.. Then later on, a couple of our batchmates arrived. Then we waited..

 

At 6PM, the tour guide finally arrived and made us gather into groups of 20. About 15 (more or less) of those in that group were my batchmates! Cool! Then HE guided us inside the *so-called ancient house*. He was scaring us right from the beginning, like saying that the path we were treading on was the exact spot where the owners of that house buried their servants, cutting off their heads, feet, hands, and bodies… Then he toured us and it was kind of cool, there were these morbid looking people who I first mistook for wax figures because they didn’t even bat an eyelash! There was the hands-less pianist, the dancer, the wife, the mistress, the children (brother and sister) and so on and so forth.. Each had their own story. We were on our way out when Paolo looked behind and exclaimed “We have visitors..” and then we heard a scary (but gruesomely funny) laugh, next thing I knew, people were running towards the door – finding their way out. Worth the 10php? Maybe.. :)

 

Nevermind the rest of my days because I’ve only been in here, staring at my monitor. I’m so excited for the 16^th of November! Guess why? No, it’s not Sabrina’s birthday (advanced happy birthday, dear!). Shame on you if you call yourself a Potterhead not knowing that it’s the day Goblet of Fire will finally be shown in theaters! Yay! At long last! I CAN’T WAIT! I’ve been raving about it since late October! I even got a GOF poster hanging at my bedroom wall, I’m crushing on Cedric! :p Yet I’ll miss Oliver Wood the hottie! He still won’t be in that flick. He just graduated from Hogwarts and is supposedly a player for Puddlemere United in there. Sad..

 

Hmm, are you guys as ecstatic as I am in finally watching GOF? Are you as bombed out because classes are back? DOOD, you are soooooo not alone.
