Highlights [delayed post!]

     My feet are hurting a lot ever since we did home version DDR. It was cool and was a bit inexpensive, but it was a sole-crashing heel-pumping regime that screamed “Ouch” to our feet. Step, not stomp.

     We did our Latin American presentation yesterday, during our homeroom period. The boys wore long sleeves (I wore it old red) and the girls went Bohemian and off-shoulder what-you-might-call-it blouses(?). But the real eye catcher was Elijah. He wore a pink Bohemian dress and an off-shoulder blouse(?) and a blonde wig making her a Latin American clone of Marilyn Monroe. He was so gay that morning. One couldn’t help but laugh a bit or comment on how frilly his dress was.

     The African music presentation by the other half of the class was ok, with the Etheria-themed activity series for metals and hydrogen (the chant went: LiKBaCaNa MaZCre CdNiTin PlumHi CugAtu, which means lithium, potassium, barium, calcium, sodium, magnesium, zinc, chromium, iron, cadmium, nickel, tin, lead, hydrogen, copper, mercury, silver, platinum, gold). Ask my Chemistry teacher or any student from Ptolemy, Linnaeus, Hertz or Darwin, they know how to say the activity series.

     I was surprised to see my scores in some tests. They were high enough to make me skip a lot of work (I got a flat 80/100 in Filipino, meaning I won’t do the oral exam anymore, I got 87/100 in Chemistry, meaning I am excused for the summative exam for Monday, and I got a mere 67/100 on the Technical Writing Exam, which was ok, and 83/100 in Social Studies which was nice, but I needed a mere 2 points to miss out the Summative exam on SS! Sayang!)

     Advanced biology was a doomsday. I know for a fact that I have 5 sure mistakes and a lot of other mistakes,  so I won’t expect too much. Especially Math and Trigonometry.

     We also had some talk with the props women on how to deal with the Noli play. It was difficult to make a makeshift gate, so we had a big problem. We also gave Angela 300 for the cheesecloth and we used 260 pesos for 2 bottles of spray paint.

     I missed out on paying for the bus fare for the fourth time! I was so hungry (I didn’t have lunch) and I was so tired that I slept through the bus ride. Maybe the conductor was too busy dealing with a hefty crowd on the bus that he forgot about me. I just remembered that I haven’t paid when I was out of the bus and walking towards the jeep terminal across the road and suddenly it flashed to my memory. Sorry to the bus operators that afternoon.

     I came home dead hungry. But there was no rice, and left-over of sinigang, so I bought raw rice using the money that I had (the one for the bus fare) and cooked it. I chopped onions and garlic and opened a can of kernel corn. I boiled some ground pork and did a beef and corn sauté. There was no oyster sauce, so I couldn’t enhance the flavour, I just used some lard from the pork broth and some salt and pepper.

     Then my parents came from the supermarket with food.

     That’s the highlights for my Friday. Ciao~
