hmm, lots have happenned lately, tagaytay was the best. the team building of glee was super fun. i learned a lot of stuff that they DON'T ever teach in school. the important stuff like 1+1=5. haha, no further discussion on that. and some of plato's and socrates' theories which seemed kinda boring before, and i was proved wrong. the team buildng wasn't as i thought it would be. i'm soo excited (again) about the year ahead, about the things we'd dreamed of (yes, we were asked to daydream and to think as an assignment though it was only an overnight thing) and whatever lies ahead for us. too bad cham wasn't there. it was a weekend filled wth so much growth and learning about things i never thought i'd be. i even took down notes. haha, just to make sure i'd remember.

oh yeah, the title of this post means continuous growth/ continuous improvement in japanese. they're so succesful, they even have a word for how they did it. reminds me of that line "Be a work in progress and keep on pregressing."

i learned A LOT. and the best part was, it was for free!! i was so sad (and sleepy) when we had to end the team building then i realized that it was just actually the beginning of it all.

that's weighty.

FIRST DAY OF CLASSES. looooooooooong orientation as always then homeroom. our new principal is now a nun!! and the coolest one at that. and our school now has a new president as the old one is now in rome. i will not comment on this event or whatever as i might get in trouble or something.

i really truly did it!! i'm in the REC. i have to live with some good and bad classmates for two years. so yup, i'm glad that im in the block section, i think that we might be ostracized or something, but i'm thinking that i'm gonna lose my social life in my last two years of high school anway, which is fine because like i learned in the team building (haha) we're investing for something big anyway and there are things that you can learn to love. play to win. play, not work. anywho. back to first day. what else happenned. back to square one of getting to know you activities and nametags and all that. i'm class number 25!! first time i got a line of 2 class number. anna's my seatmate and my electivemate!! and nikka's my voicemate, classmate, and clubmate!

our adviser's a nice woman. she corrects grammar or just plainly discusses grammar and manners and she's neat, prim and pretty. epitome of a proper woman. and we shall learn from her!! second year has per dev which sucks, we didn't have that, it would've been fun. anyway, no use reiterating the rest of the day because whatever happens on first days happened that day and it was pretty normal. we are in counter fourteen. seems like a movie filled year and our table's the perfect place for watching.

i think i'm ready for the year ahead. nobody knows the way it's gonna be right? i'll get by. oh yeah, i went on an ego trip (we all did, the members said positive stuff about eachother including ms gretch) and i realized how hard it is to say good things about yourself for one minute. after 8 seconds i couldn't think anymore. and when others did it for you, it was nice to be affirmed. it suddenly feels okay to be me. i'm not going to publish the positive things, it'll be too arrogant if i did. haha, i'll just keep it in my heart and not in my head.

i'm loving the going. when the going isn't tough anymore, find something tougher!!

buti nalang the going is tough. i don't want to go around looking for trouble.
