first entry (this is the title due to lack of ideas & creativity)

So after a long time of contemplation, I finally decide to have a blog. So officially, this is my first entry. I want to tell you as early as now that my life is rather uninteresting & boring so I don’t think this blog is going to be worth a lot of people’s time. Hihi. What a pessimist. I know. I’m just putting this up because I want to be able to rant and rave about the different things in my life. And because, it’s the 1st, I have lots to say.

This summer is turning out to be as boring as my other summers. No! I’m not being pessimistic on this one. This is I being realistic. Here are the only things I’ve done:

Went shopping. I haven’t done that for a pretty long time. I don’t really go shopping. We went to Galleria during the sale and bought some clothes that were really cheap. I was able to buy 150 peso blouses. They were originally 300. Bought a pair of 700+ pants at 400 pesos. And some other clothes.

Attended my sister’s grad. It was nice to see the school, gs teachers, spc nuns & old friends who had sisters in my sister’s batch. I saw how organized the singing of the songs, the lining up, the walking, the bowing and believe it or not the standing and the sitting were. I remembered how perfect activities in St. Paul had to be. The Thanksgiving Day during Pre-school, Recognition Days, 1st Holy communion & the GS Graduation. In St. Paul, we practiced each of the activities to the smallest detail. And we practiced each of them for really long durations of time. For the 1st communion during grade 3, there were 2 songs with 2nd voice but during grad, all the songs did. We sang each song approximately a bazillion times that I remember falling asleep during grad practice. J We even have a conductress during those activities. Not only that. We practiced the whole mass. Even the communion part. We practiced the responses. We even practiced how to stand and sit all at the same time. Seeing my sister’s batch do it was really funny. I guess we also looked like robots with a switch or keyhole. We practiced accepting the diploma and the awards on stage (get with the right hand, transfer to the left, shake the nun’s and the teacher’s hands, say thank you, face the audience then bow). All those done while smiling. Imagine having to watch all your batchmates do that while you have to sit and shut up in your seat. Really tiring. We practiced entrance and exit. We even have dress rehearsals. For most of the grad practice, they asked us to wear stockings and our high-heel shoes (heels have to be 2 to 3 inches in height) so that we get use to wearing them. The teachers and nuns will not think twice about asking you to sit and stand about 20 times just to make sure not a single student from the group of 350-400 gets left behind. And they wouldn’t hesitate asking everyone to go in and out of the venue just to make sure everyone walked properly and smiled as well. But no matter how tiring all of these were, they were all worth it because the activities felt really special to us. Each activity in that school was extra memorable and unforgettable. I guess this is too much reminiscing for one entry.

Attended a daughter of my mom’s friend’s grad party. I met someone from 09 there.

Visita Iglesia with my paternal grandparents, aunts, uncles & cousins. Something we do every Holy Thursday since I could remember.

Something I’ve never done before: I went to my tita’s house in Bulacan during Holy week. (We don’t really leave the house during Holy week. Good Fridays & Black Saturdays are spent lazily at home.) We watched the parade of saints and statues of the Stations of the Cross. I don’t know what the event is called but I had fun. I had to hold on to rails the whole time. I took the pictures. hihi. some of them are really bad. I'll post some of them in the future. It was relaxing to be in the province. I even got to watch Raise Your Voice and Million Dollar Baby there.

Had a haircut. My hair turned out really short. I don’t think our hairdresser knows where the shoulders are.

Other than that, I’ve been doing household chores. Sad but I have no choice. We don’t have a maid at the moment which really, really sucks. I hope we find one soon. Then, I’ve been watching TV, DVDs, surfing the net and reading everyone’s blogs (more often than not, Fatima’s, Maisie’s, Ma’am Jams’ & Sir Martin’s). And since I wanted to do something else, I decided to have a blog. Sorry for the long entry. I’m just really bored.
