Badminton and Table Tennis

I got up at 11 after originally being budged by my roommate at 10. I then went to school to encode the Assembly Program I made for our project. It compiled, YEY. It didn’t execute right, DRAT. Whew~ Our project’s somewhat like a Mastermind Game in which the user is asked to guess a 4-digit number. We’ll be making it from scratch. I just pray we can do it. Our classmates had theirs from the Internet or from the upperclassmen (our teacher’s fine with it) – which means that all that is left for them to do is simply understand or modify the code. *yosh!* We have to do this so that I can go home this sem-break!

We still had a Badminton session in the afternoon. Only Rheinhart, Fel, and I had rackets. Ma’am played a doubles game with us. When she left to fetch some things, Fel also left, saying that she has a paper to finish. Anthony, my dormmate and Ma’am Amy’s student in Ping Pong, came. She suggested to me and Rheinhart to play with him. We ended up playing alone, since Anthony was reading something. Surprisingly, I can still hit that ping pong ball! Yeah! Awesome! The last time I hit one was when I was still in elementary, when we still had a table at home. I had fun, especially that Rheinhart also knows how to rally the ball. Maybe I should take it as a PE one of these semesters days. If I were initially fat, it could be possible that I’ve lost some weight already, considering that I’ve been playing Volleyball, Lawn Tennis, and Badminton for the past semesters. Otherwise, I could’ve simply gone to Portland plastic surgeons. =P

In the Midnight Hour-Morning Light

I slept at 4. Something new? Err, not really. But the last time I did so, as far as I can recall, was when I was studying for a Psychology10 exam way back in first year. I was even very pissed that ‘night’ because there were dormmates that were playing Magic Cards in our room, specifically on my bed! Anyway, today I did so because I was studying Data Structures in Java. Exam’s tomorrow, and I hope I’ll pass it. Jo Ann and my roommate Hanny John was also where I was studying – in the newspaper area doing their thesis. In between studying I was reading the Philippine Daily Inquirer newspaper and I found it interesting:

1. The Click Five (who sang “Just The Girl”) will be in Manila at Ayala Mall this month. (wish I could be there!)

2. ABS-CBN releases “Patoktober” – Susan Roces titles I’ve never heard before in SineSerye, Super Inggo 1.5 (what’s up with the decimal point?!), PBB Celebrity Edition 2, Spring Waltz, and Prinsesa ng Banyera. (eck?)

3. Kung Fu Hustle Movie 2 in which the lead actor appears to be Vanness Wu of the F4.

4. Elton John kissing this guy named K.D. Lang (ack, just what the hack is going on around?) during a benefit show in New York!

Furthermore, the Inquirer magazine also caught me attention. Inside of it talked ’bout the Internet as, you know, a way of meeting friends abroad. So it ended up being on my carrel again. Hehe. I’ve been collecting good editions (is this the appropriate word?) of it, not to mention that it’s breaking the dorm’s rule. And, like the usual, the comics was good – Pugad Baboy, Garfield, Zits, and that funny dog (forgot his name).

Lately, I’ve been thinking of how it would feel like being known to your country. Like, being an artist, singer, model or whatever it is that certainly qualifies one for fame. A person’s appearance undeniably becomes better upon becoming a celebrity. No, seriously, really, right? Then, one would undergo different surgical operations, if preferred and needed. One of them would be rhinoplasty, more commonly known as “nose job” i.e. improve the appearance of the nose. Well, well, well. I’d dearly say that one of the celebrities here in the Philippines who had their nose done is Rachelle Ann Go. I remember my HS classmate then saying that it was really evident. It really was. I wonder if I would do such things, if ever. Ambisyon.. x_x
