Hello, Ateneo

Aw... I've been ignoring my blog D: Sorry about that. Regular posting resumes now. :)

So I told you a bit about my block. Well, here's a little bit more: I love them. My block's the loudest and most diverse class among the freshman blocks. Ages range from 16 to 22; residence, from Quezon City to Austria to France. Energy level? HIGH.

Anyway, here are some of the pictures taken from our Orientation Seminar (thanks Isay). I'll also be posting my schedule. Click pictures to enlarge.

Where do you think I am? Hint: red shirt

I'm holding the TR sign

With TNT's (stands for Talk and Travel... I think :P) Gabe and Exo

I'm the one with a peace sign on top of my head (blame that guy beside me, Jek :P)

And here's my sched. :) I like it, BTW. I share the last three subjects of my MWF with my block mates, so it's all good. :)

Kids on the block

Haha, this blog hasn't been updated for a long time, ew. Our PC crashed so I had no internet access for almost two weeks.

Anyway, we had our orientation seminar (OrSem) in AdMU for the past three days. I got to know my block mates (block TR - short for 'transferees') and we hit it off right away. They're fun to be with, especially the guys; they're a crazy bunch. And believe it or not, our block has the three tallest people in the batch. They're a head taller than anyone!

So... I'm kinda bored. Yawn.

Bend in the road

I do not not post because I'm lazy, but because I've been too busy. *cries* I had - and still have - to go to Katipunan to take care of my transfer.

By the way, I passed UP (Speech Comm), but I chose AdMU anyway. And yesterday I was on the brink of changing my mind 'coz mum told me that dad was talking to himself when he saw the tuition fee of AdMU ("...Sa UP nalang kaya si Kring?"). I feel really bad that, compared to when I was in Miriam, he has to pay a whole lot more, and not to mention my brothers' tuition fee also increased a lot (it's now 60K+ for Bryan, 70K+ for Kyle).

I chose AdMU as I thought my parents would prefer me to be there than to be in UP. Besides, I've chosen the courses I wanted in both schools, so whichever university I go to is fine with me; it's up for my parents to decide. So they told me that AdMU is better as I had a better course there and that some of the subjects I've taken in Miriam will be credited in the university. But thinking of the finances... I just feel bad that they have to pay a lot. And to compare the tuition fee with that of UP's - they would've been able to save the finances for some other important things.

Another one of the factors of why I chose to be in AdMU is because of my paternal relatives. Before, when they asked me the course I have chosen in UP, they commented that the courses were "not good", or in Filipino - "pangit" so I asked myself whether or not it really was a bad course, and of where I will be heading when I graduate with that degree. When they asked me my courses in AdMU, they told me, "Ano ba 'yang courses mo, Kring" as they didn't know what the course descriptions were. Taking into consideration what my parents told me, I decided that yes, it would be better if I studied in AdMU - atleast these people can't say that I've made a mistake (and make me feel bad or stupid) because I chose to study in UP with a course that's "not good"

Well, that was before.

Last Sunday when my relatives found out that I passed in both universities and that I chose to be in AdMU, they again asked the course I applied for in UP. When I told them "Speech Comm" they suddenly told me, "Hey, that's a nice course!" A big WTF. With that - and with dad talking to himself last Sunday night- I started questioning whether it was a mistake to apply in AdMU.

But this is the university I chose to transfer to. I can't turn back now. Heck with the finances - I'll make it up by being in the dean's list. And as to my relatives - another big WTF. I don't want to talk to them about my college life again.

SMEXY :)

Note: You don't have to be interested in anime to understand this post. Just read along.



I just finished watching La Corda D'oro. And what can I say... -_- I've fallen in love with a couple of non-existent guys! Again! *sobs* This is what I hate about TV shows. They make you emotionally attached to either the characters or the story, ignoring the fact that they depict little resemblance to real life. Gah!

I want to share with you the guys of the anime; I'm sure one of them will catch your interest. Haha. You're probably thinking, "This Kring, what a freak she is..." Well... I know right? XD Just now, pleeease? :)

Len Tsukimori

Okay, so for me, this guy's the hottest. Haha. I mean, really. He's mysterious, anti-social, and full of pride, but deep down he's a nice guy ^_^ He's also a prodigy, being very good at the violin.

If we met in real life (allow me to fantasize): He probably wouldn't take notice of me and wouldn't care less about me (this is what comes up even if I fantasize)

Azuma Yunoki

Second hottest guy. At first I found his image a bit too... overused in depicting a pretty guy, so I thought that he wouldn't be of interest. But I was wrong. As the series progresses he becomes smexier! XD He's kind, talented, and very smart, but all of this is just a cover up of his true, dark self. Plays the flute.

If we met in real life: He'd be overly kind and formal with me, just as he is with everyone else. But deep down he'd find me annoying (Damn it, this fantasizing doesn't work)

Keiichi Shimizu

Young and cute! He's always sleepy and confused, and he talks slowly. He's just so adorable. ^_^ Sometimes, it's hard to understand what he's talking about. Plays the cello.

If we met in real life: Hm... I'd probably think that I'm talking to an alien: I just wouldn't get him. But I could stare at his face all day without him caring.

Kazuki Hihara

Very friendly, and knows no social boundaries. He's also athletic and full of vigor. The most outgoing of all the five guys. Plays the trumpet.

If we met in real life: Now this! We'd probably be friends ^_^ We're both wacky and cheerful. I could hang out with him all day long! Hah!

Ryoutarou Tsuchiura

An athletic guy. He's very kind and is best friend material. He's the least appealing for me, so... -_- there's nothing much I can say about him. Plays the piano.

If we met in real life: We'd be friends, probably. Yeah, that's it. -_-

And could you believe that all five of them fell for this girl?!

Argh, I just hate it -____- And can you believe she's being paired with my love, Len?! Just because she plays the violin doesn't mean you could pair her up with another violinist!

Anyway, got to go. Still have to fix some matters regarding my reservation in AdMU. :)

La Corda D'oro = ♥

I'm sorry I haven't checked your blogs to see how you guys are doing. All I can do nowadays is update mine; this week has been my busiest and I barely have time to surf the net. I promise I'll get back to you next week.

Anyway, here's what I did for the week, if you want to know:

Monday

• Went to UP to see the schedule of my interview (got lost in the way)

Tuesday

• Had a panel interview in UP and passed
• Went around UP to check the schedule of interview for my other courses
• Checked my ADMU results (passed ü)
• Driving lessons started

Wednesday

• Had my test in UP (on the 12th, we'll see if I passed)
• Went to Miriam to get 2 copies of my transcript and a copy of my Honorable Dismissal
• Driving lessons
• Fussed about what to wear on Marvi's debut

Thursday

• Prepared things before going to Ashleiy's house (stayed there overnight)
• Fussed over what to give to Marvi
• Attended Marvi's debut

Today

• Driving lessons

Saturday

• Fix things before going to Sta. Mesa
• Go to Sta. Mesa
• Dental appointment

Sunday

• Go to Bataan with my family

I'm sorry if the list is actually short, but I'm not used to being this busy! Argh! I actually gained 4 pimples this week, all clustered on my left cheek -_- The agonyyyyy!

On a lighter note, I'm so obsessed with the anime La Corda D'oro Primo Passo. It's a neoromance about a girl who doesn't know anything about music until she sees a fairy who gives her a magical violin. She's then chosen to compete in a musical concourse, and all of the male contestants - five of them, mind you - develop feelings for her. The story is so nice; and the guys... o_____o;;; they're soooo handsome! -__- How I wish I'd experience the same as the girl did o_o Anyway, I watch not on Youtube, but on Crunchyroll. They have a complete list of episodes, could you believe it (we don't have Animax, so there).

Well, off I go! Gonna watch some more. ^^

GLORY!

I passed the Ateneo.

And I'm too happy to say more. <3

Interdisciplinary, here I come!

Fast and Furious

I came back. Oh my gosh, could you believe it. I'm actually updating this blog.

Anyway, I have no plans of shutting down my blog; I've just been too lazy to update. Although I have to say that the previous days have been good. I wasn't that bored as I was busy.

So! Last Saturday I went to Ashleiy's house coz her dad was going to treat me to lunch (late birthday present - my birthday was February 1). We ate at... what was it called? Panday Hill? The restaurant offered Malaysian food, and oh my goodness. It was so good. So delicious. Spicy! I love the food the moment it touched my tongue. We also went to the Oceanarium (though we didn't bother going inside the Oceanarium as we originally planned, the place was jam-packed) and to SM Mall of Asia. It was great. I had a great time bonding with Ashleiy and her family. :)

What else... oh yeah. I finished two books in just a week. Can you freaking believe it. And the first book I read, I read only while I was in the hospital waiting for my dental appointment. Talk about an accomplishment (well, it is for me).

Oh, and you know what. Dad bought the New Beetle. At first I was jumping for joy, then I found out that he was going to give it to my aunt later. -_- Is this the Boulevard of Broken Dreams or what? But it's okay - I planning to get it from my aunt later, when I'm already good at driving. Mwahaha...

And driving! Oh yes, driving. The lessons will start on Tuesday next week. Yippee! After that I could finally drive on my way to school. I'm so sick of commuting. Aside from the academics, commuting's one of the reasons why I don't want to go to school (hehe).

Ah, and yes - I've been preoccupied with two things: Deviantart and Harvest Moon. The latter's a game I've been playing in the PS2. It's addicting :)

This post's a mess. I'm typing so fast and have no time to correct typos, so sorry my post is not "readable" XP And the music? It's from the anime Rorouni Kenshin/Samurai X. Yes, I love anime. Very much.
