No. I am not talking about Strontium's SiGaw song about Peace.
Classes were suspended today because there was a fire on the second floor of the SHB. Oh man. Call me shocked. They say that the fire started at the faculty center. When I read Gaby's message this morning, I was beyond disbelief. Shiiiit. Sobrang WOAH. Srsly. :| :| :|
God works in mysterious ways, indeed. I was hoping for something that would keep me awake as I was studying, but this was NOT what I had in mind. Coffee definitely would have sufficed.
This is BAD. I mean, I usually rejoice when classes are suspended, but THE AGOOOOONY HAS BEEN PROLONGED AGAIN. Shit talaga. It's bad enough that we have 3 LT's and godknowshowmany projects due after perio week. So paano yan? Perio on Saturday? On Monday? OH THE HORROR. My only consolation would be if the CISD sticks to the original schedule and push through with the Chem and English exams when we go to school on Thursday. Sayang naman ung inaral ng mga tao, diba? LOL. Call me selfish, but ayoko talaga magbio exams. Feeling ko I'd much rather read the Kitchen God's Wife all over again than study for Bio 2. Gaaaahd. I hate Bio. Speaking of the devil, my group hasn't done the presentation thingy which is supposedly due today. May benefits din pala from today's suspension of classes.
WOAH. Andaming online at 6 AM. Everyone must still be in awe. Oh well. I hope whatever was by the fire gets fixed soon. I hope no one got hurt.

Perio tomorrow. Joy. Anyway, I'm here at the library with Diane. She's reading The Kitchen God's Wife (which I finished yesterday. Yey me!), and I'm here...blogging. LOL.
Moving on--
Perio weeks always suck, but this one sucks in particular because the suffering doesn't end after the last perio. The teachers moved so many requirements and tests to next week. How motivating, right? I usually endure all the studying because I know all the suffering's bound to end after the last exam. How can I be inspired to study knowing that after 6 periodic tests are 3 Long Tests and loooooots of projects due? Screw requirements. Screw third year. Screw Pisay. Screw life.
Chem's at 3:20. WTF am I going to do for two hours. Maybe I'll just take a nap...in the library. Or study vocabs. Or look for my missing chem notebook. Who knows?
That's all for now. Ciao. :)
P.S. Wen Fu's THE devil. He deserves to rot in hell.

DIKUM DAY!
I came to school expecting nothing. Strontium has only had one "productive" practice, and our choreo was non-existent on the morning of the presentation. So, I gave up most (if not all) chances of winning. I just wanted to get it over with. An hour before the presentation, our choreo was still not finalized. At that point, I decided to let nature take its course. Instead of pressuring my classmates, I just let them have fun. Our class is good at that, after all.
Little did I know that our innate gift of having too much fun (that drives our teachers crazy) would actually lead us to something positive. We bagged third place. :) We were all definitely surprised since we were expecting last place. Our presentation was totally crammed after all. Looking back, I think we placed because (a) the judges appreciated our energy/enthusiasm on stage (b) despite the fact that our instruments were purely percussion and had no melody, our instruments were the most unique (LOL typewriter...high heels...sand paper) (c) our blocking/arrangement on stage really set us apart. I think we underestimated ourselves too much.
The presentations were good in general. Cesium's (1st place) costumes were very well thought of, and the melody of their instruments was awesome. Rubidium's (2nd place) vocals were fantastic. They are definitely Paskorus material. :) Congrats to those two sections! Sodium's instruments rocked. They definitely deserved to place. Lithium's presentation was cute also. It screamed LEAN QUINIO. I'm proud of our batch for pulling off Dikum well despite the short period of time given to us. :)
Today was the Alumni Concert thingy. We volunteered to be Production Assistants (PA), but to some of the Alumni (ehem S****): Production Assistant = Slave. Haha. Despite being abused and underfed, (:| 70 pesos per person :|) most of the night was spent laughing at our PA fails. We laughed at Sam fails, too! After 3+ hours of carrying the rostrum, moving around music and mic stands around, throwing balloons and being enslaved by the Alumni, it was finally time to go home.
I'm ecstatic that Dikum's over. I can now enjoy Humanities week. I am finally stress-free (for now, at least.) Woooooohoo. I shall sleep now. I'm going to school at 9AM tomorrow, and no one can stop me. :)) Why? Because I'm a rebel. :))
