I'm lost for words. I haven't posted anything not even a single sentence for let's say... a decade? (oh, puh-leeese don't give me that look.)
I'm compelled to write at this very moment at least a few sentences to reestablish this lost connection to the cyber world. A reason for this unexplained absence is because of the accumulation of tons of school related activities. Let me start by outlining the events I had in the past few months, considering I remember every tiny bit of detail.
I have yet to survive the first hurdle which is the litmus extemporaneous speaking contest. I have been beleaguered days before the contest because of those silly ascertainties. But nevertheless I've had managed to pull myself first place. I kept all those ludicrous ideas at the most bottom part of my mind. I cannot afford to have it distract me or else it would have tormented me to having thought of it while I was supposed to be thinking more important things.

This one's the most arduous yet challenging experience I was given... (drummer rolls)... Current events contestant. Yay! Isn't it exciting? Those days, if I were to be brutally honest, was the most excruciatingly tiresome, stressful yet truly memorable. I get to be in the fourth rank of all twenty-three schools participating.

I had a total of a day and a half of rehearsing my oratorical piece. I had just survived a towering pile of allergy-induced newspapers from PRISAA and here comes another one. I made quite a distinct impression on the judges but it wasn't enough to pull me through the top three. But all in all, it was very unforgettable.

We had this meaningful and memorable retreat at Guimaras. It was stress-relieving from the typical-senior life engrossed in school works blah blah.
Moving on, December was a breeze. The ringing of church bells, the smell of bibingka, carols sung, gifts-wrapped and so on. January came through. Fireworks illuminate the dark sky and lights up the horizon. Although, firecrackers are very much preferred by Filipinos because it's cheaper than fireworks.
February... had been very cruel despite my enthusiasm in acquainting with it. This month was the apogee of all mind-blowing, maddening, and demanding deadlines of all-sorts of requirements. Shall I say, TheHellMonth of a SENIOR student. And thank God, we all managed to survive.
March... these weeks had been monotonous. No more SIP's, home reading reports, or whatsoever. The same boring rehearsals everyday for our graduation... our final parting with our high school friends, acquaintances, lovers, enemies, etc. (a separate entry for this topic).
National Achievement Test tomorrow. So this'll mean a good night to you. :)
