whew. i can't believe it. (aren't there just so many things that i can't believe? *laughs out loud*) nakapagpuyat ako sa harap ng pc. as in. i can't explain the emotions that are stirring within me now. hisashiburi as they call it in Japanese, when it's been so long since you last did something. *grins*

okay, don't look at me like that. everybody knows that i spend my friday and saturday nights in front of the pc and doing a large amount of surfing and replying to the messages that have piled up everywhere, but tonight is different. it's different because there's school tomorrow and i'm only allowed to use the pc after dinner when classes are off the next day. another point is that what i've busied myself with is schoolwork. grabe.

you're free to ask me if i'm crazy or anything, but really, now that i've experienced this again, i suddenly missed all the puyat sessions that i had when i was in high school. uper memorable talaga ang risci. i miss trying to stay awake with my head hanging like a doll's for every 10 minutes as i slip into slumber. i miss chatting with the other hapiters and being agitated when they say ''yey, tapos na ko. una na ko ha?''. i miss crying when i realize that it's almost 5 a.m. and i still have a page or two to type. i miss withstanding my mom's scoldings from outside the bathroom whenever she had to get up just to print my report for me while i take a bath. again, call me crazy or anything but i miss cramming. (okay, for those of you who are cursing the person who first crammed and started the habit.. well, don't sue me. i just can't help but feel this way.) haii, ang senti. just stretch your patience for me.

but hey, it's not that i've never crammed since i came here. that's impossible. i still cram, but i do it at school and in between classes. naks! it's just that we were never really given work to accomplish using the computer, and that's what i miss. the usual homework, for example in math, is the sort like ''find the area of the triangle..blah blah blah..''. to be solved and written on your notebook. just like that. oh, but the problem is written in japanese, so it takes me eternity to solve them sometimes. funny how i managed to survive four sets of exams already..

anyway, enough with the drama. just thought i'd write about my slightly out-of-the-ordinary day. *grins*

wait, have i mentioned that there will be a debate on november? well, there will be one, and my school's language/english club will jump into the arena. yup, my club. and for the past few weeks, we've been working overtime at school to smoothen out all that needs to be prepared. but today, the overtime work has been extended and has reached my home. my friend shoichi (known to everyone as sporty because of his sporty glasses that he wore since back then when he was still a baseball player) sent me the paragraph that he had translated from japanese into english, and what i had to do was check the grammar and the construction of the sentences and send the whole thing back to him afterwards. sounds like a piece of cake, but it took me a long time to finish the work. especially because me and shoichi were also exchanging mails during that time (okay, my craving to have a phone is awakaned yet again! *sighs*). after 10 years, the paragraph has finally been received and printed by mister sporty. shame that he had to wait until this late. it was also sort of my fault why he had to work for the debate in the first place. you see, i was supposed to be in the debate team of 4 (with yuka, mami and acchan), but on the day of the debate my LP had plans to take me to osaka and kyoto (which, according to acchan and to my club teacher, are places that i shouldn't miss visiting), so shoichi had to take my place. seems like he's known to speak good English. anyway, he wasn't even a member of our club, but he had to join and sign the contract. i just can't help but feel pleased because he's been working so hard. he even brought his laptop last saturday, and he had lots of good music and a program that translates japanese into english and vice versa! (which was so convenient, although the translations are sometimes kinda strange *laughs*). there's still a lot of cramming to do, so i hope to be able to see his laptop again. *grins*

woah, weird how i suddenly get into sleepy mode in just a second. anyway, work's done so i guess it wouldn't hurt to start counting sheeps. (one, two, three.. *yawns*)

oh, i still have a slice of cake to eat though. *drools*

ja ne! God bless you always. sweet dreams! oyasumi nasai! *peace*
