Stressed is desserts, spelled backwards!

Just thinking of these things listed below makes me stressed!

  • Tomorrow’s practice for cheer dance (Quarterly Exam for PE)
  • PAASCU Visit on August 1 and 2
  • Project in TLE (aka THE)
  • Assignment in Math
  • Unscheduled practice for a short skit (Quarterly Exam for Health)
  • The 1st quarterly exams on August 11, 12 and 13 August 18, 19 and 20.
  • My UPCAT on August 6, 6:30am
  • Do some articles for CHIMES

I think hiatus again, I’ll be back after our quarterly exams. I did not thought my senior year is going to be as hectic as this. Argh. I hate school! Well, I will still be online for these coming days. Oh, don’t forget, “Stressed is Desserts, Spelled Backwards!”

[EDIT] Our 1st quarterly exams was moved so I have one more week to kill before I’ll go on hiatus. [/EDIT]

The verdict: HP HBP

Big spoilers about HP HBP below… read at your own risk…

After some few years after the Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix was released, the latest installment of the Harry Potter series was released on July 16 entitled Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince.

So let me start with my verdict: the book itself is good but it’s not my most favorite from the series. The transitions of events is very fast. You are reading about Dumbledore and Harry looking for a Horcrux then, after some minutes, the Dark Mark was conjured… There is too much romance in the book which I found (somehow) annoying (don’t forget the love triangle). Well, I enjoyed reading the book for four days. There are some twists in the book that you won’t even expect.

The story started with Cornelius Fudge talking to the Prime Minister of UK about what’s happening in the wizarding world, and he, being sacked from his position. It is Rufus Scrimgeour who took Fudge’s position. You will also know what is Snape’s real color here; he is a death eater, from the very start he is spying for Voldemort, not Dumbledore.

The reason why Voldemort did not died on the night he tried to kill Harry is also stated in this book - he made six Horcuxes - he divided his soul into seven.

Harry had his second girlfriend in this book, Ginny Weasley good thing Harry decided to end their relationship because he is afraid that Voldemort might kill Ginny. Ron, on the other hand will also have a girlfriend, “Lav-Lav.” Bill is going to be married to “Phlegm.” And Tonks will Remus Lupin. (Love is in the air… lol).

Some of you might be asking who is the Hallf-Blood Prince. He is none other that… SEVERUS SNAPE! I did not even thought that it will be Snape. I thought the Half-Blood Prince is going to be a ally of Harry. Draco Malfoy is a death eater! Wahhh… I did not also thought about this. And this one might be a shock to you: Dumbledore was killed! By whom? By the Half-Blood Prince!

The book is unique. I can’t wait for the last book to arrive (but I hope it is not the last one).

Double the sadness

[EDIT] If you will see a post about HP HBP Spoilers which will be password protected, the password will be “SNAPE” (all capitalized) so those people who don’t want to see them will not accidentaly see the spoilers. [/EDIT]

First of all i’m oficially back in the online world. I missed everything especially you guys! I’m very busy for the past few days and I think
I will be busy again in the next coming days. There are so many things happend when I was out but I doubt it if I can put everything in this post…

If you don’t know, I ran for the presidency for the Student Council in our school. I indeed enjoyed the campaigning period! Especially the room-to-room campaign. I met different sorts of people, from those noisy and stupid ones to the “no reaction” type of people, good thing there are still some few who listens to you while you deliver your speech. I also finished reading the much awaited “Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince” which was released last week in four days! The book is perfectly okay but it is not the best amongst the Harry Potter Series. HP3 and HP5 still remain as the bests for me!

When I heard the news that I did not won for the presidency, I was reading the paret of the book where a very important person (you won’t even thought he will die) and was killed by the Half-Blood Prince (I thought the HBP is in Harry’s side). I don’t know what to feel that time. I don’t know if I’m sad about me not winning the position of president or I’m sad because the brother of the barman of Hog’s Head was killed (the VIP that i’m talking about) or both. You know, I feel I’m one of the VIP’s relatives or friends. I’m still sad about these. It’s somehow affecting me.

Well, from the very first start I did not expected to win because one of my opponent is really famous in our school (we are three comepting for the presidency and the three of us are coming from one section). You know what, half of our class are always out because 20 candidates are coming from our class (not to mention our campaign managers, party inspectors and a COMELEC representative). But I did not lose hope that I will win. Just thinking of the idea that I did not win make me almost into tears.

On the lighter note, I’m still the News Editor of our official publication in our school. I thought I will not have the chance again to join the CHIMES. I suppose, I really have to do some news articles and edit all the news articles because we’ve got a new moderator (you already know him so I don’t have to introduce him once again, you know, our English teacher). Not like last year, though I’m the news editor, I did not made any news articles nor edit them. Well, I did feature writing and I took pictures whenever I’ve got the chance to take pictures in school. I even edited some feature articles (as what my classmate had said because I already forget about it).

BTW, my UPCAT is scheduled on August 06, 6:30am at UPEP Clark Field, Pampanga. Wish me luck okay? Oh, wait for my next post! Haha! I’ll post some huge HP HBP spoilers. Happy Birthday to Daniel Radcliffe!

Almost…

I just want to tell you that I will be back soon enough. Maybe tomorrow or on Sunday, it depends on my free time. For the past few days, I can say I’m busy. And I suppose, I will be getting busy again after some few days. I’ve got my UPCAT scheduled on August 06, 6:30am. Not bad. See you guys! I missed everybody!

Come on!

There will be three parties running for the Student Council this school year and I’m glad to say I’m going to run! Our party has still no name. I’ll file my candidacy tomorrow, I just have to tell my parents about it and sign the application form! Hoy! Di po ako nagcacampagine! I really want to win! I’m not just after the ‘plus points’ I’m after the position in the SC! I really hope I will win, but one of my oponents is really famous. I don’t know if I’ll win. Actually, I did not plann to run for the position that I’m running. Well, my party-mates are telling me to run for that position. I’m really getting excited about this. And oh, semi-hiatus I think. I have to prepare for this one. And there are so many other things to do in school. Like the 2nd oral activity we have in English (I still have to memorize it) and a long quiz about the Greek & Roman gods and goddesses.

Oh, I just want to addÂ… IÂ’m risking my position in our official publication of our school (Chimes). Our English teacher is the moderator of Chimes and he told us to make an article. IÂ’m not in the mood of writing articles when we did that article. Goodbye Chimes, goodbye Press-Con, goodbye Boracay.
