Wallflower (wall·flow·er)
Definition
- One who does not participate in the activity at a social event because of shyness or unpopularity.
- A lady at a ball, who, either from choice, or because not asked to dance, remains a spectator.
As the term suggests, I shy away from a lot of things, parties and balls/dances being top 1 and top 2 respectively.
I'm a small girl you won't probably notice in a crowd. On top of that, I'm a natural klutz, the holder of a seemingly record-breaking list of misplaced items, an amateur anything, and an over-thinker who oftentimes lets her head rule her heart.
I'm still normal okay, don't get me wrong. haha... I'm a kid at heart who is easily pleased with simple things. One who carries a pinch of optimism, a tinkling of charm, and loads of laughs. I'm still trying to find my place in this vast expanse, but I'm having tons of fun along the way.
I'll find that light someday, I'm sure! But for now, I'll slow things down a bit and enjoy the ride.
My life's not the most spectacular thing that you'll come across, but it's worth a look :)

Friendster Horoscope, you never fail to freak me out.
The Bottom Line Big, complicated plans will be simplified under your intellectual gaze today.
In Detail Complicated plans will be simplified under your intellectual gaze today. You have an uncanny ability to cut right through all the noise and get to the real heart of any matter. All the recent dramas in your social circle are coming from the same root cause, and you should dig down to get to the bottom of it. Keeping the peace is not your job per se, but a little bit of effort on your part can make everyone happier and make your life much easier.
Anyway.
Victory party tonight for the Archers! Woohoo! I NEED to have a picture taken with Rico Maierhofer! Plus sleepover with the Fencers in Alliv's Condo.
But before that, we're going to the grocery to buy some things for the sleepover. Alliv's also going to buy me Maierhofer's Animoism shirt. Yay!
And before I forget... ALLIV PARANOID! haha! Nakakahawa daw ako.
Oh and I'm feeling so much better already.

Nakakaiyak.
Ewan. Masyado lang siguro akong nadadala sa mga nangyayari sa akin sa mga huling araw na nakalipas. O kaya masyado lang akong sensitive ngayon. O kaya patay yung ilaw sa kwarto kaya trip kong magdrama.
Oo nga, may rason ako para maging sobrang saya, napakarami pa nga kung tutuusin. Pero dahil sa ilang mga nangyayari, patuloy lang akong nagmumukmok. Di ko na iisa-isahin, baka di na ako matapos.
Ito na lang. Nagtutugma-tugma nananaman yung mga nangyayari sa akin ngayon at yung mga nangyari sa akin dati. May counterparts na lahat ng tao eh. Konti na lang, swak na eh. Sakto, malapit pa naman din mag 3rd term. Wow, happy iyakan anniversary to me.
Tatahimik na lang ako ng tuluyan. Mas makakabuti pa siguro yun sa akin diba? Baka maiwasan ko pa ang isang replay ng 3rd term drama ko last year. Di na ako magiging OP o can't relate, di na ako makakasabi ng masamang side comments, at di na ako magkakaroon ng impulse na umastang bata ulit.
O diba? Everybody happy.
Anyway...
Thanks for the pizza Ferms! Belated Happy Birthday!

CONGRATULATIONS ARCHERS! Season 70 Basketball Champions
Once again, you have brought pride into the whole Lasallian community! 'Til next season! ANIMO LA SALLE!
(I still heart Maierhofer.) courtesy of greenarcher.netOkay, here's my real entry. 1. My Dad
I know I've ranted over and over how much my dad was unreasonable, but yesterday and today changed the way I thought about him.
I told him about the cookies the fencing team was selling, and I jokingly said that I should have taken up Advertising Management because of the pictures I took of the cookies (there were a lot who liked the photos). I was surprised when he didn't give me his usual "ay nako make up your mind":
"Daddy inegosyo natin cookies at brownies ni Mommy." "Oo, maraming bibili nun lalo na sa Christmas." "Marami din akong kilala sa La Salle!" "Tapos si Mommy sa Kostka." "Tapos ikaw sa San Miguel. See? Kinalat tayo for a reason! haha..." *silence* "Eh Daddy, natural bolera naman ako eh, wag na lang kaya ako mag BMG?" "Ay hindi, iba pa rin yung may pinag-aralan." "Kaso papasok pa ako sa law school." "Tapusin mo muna yung 5 years mo, then you decide in the end kung itutuloy mo pa talaga yung pagiging abogado." *Jenn looks at dad in shock*
Seriously, I was expecting another sermon. Maybe my dad really is hoping that I'd open up a business someday. I've joked about it loads of times, but after this conversation with my dad, I figured I might have what it takes to become a businesswoman. All this time, I'd fixed my mind to going to law school and becoming the second lawyer in the family (after my grandfather who I never got the chance to meet), but lo and behold, a joke opens my mind to a new perspective. Wow. This is one of those times where I can't say "bahala na kung anong mangyari". I have to decide soon, the clock's ticking.
I gotta thank my Dad for this.
2. My brother - Lester
It was Lester's entrance exam in DLSU today. I went with him for moral support, even if it meant missing Sunday School (oh no). haha... I really do hope he passes. He's been studying so much harder than me (err okay, I didn't study, I just slept) during review school. He even topped the DLSUCET simulation in all of the AHEAD branches. I'll be super glad / proud / excited / jumpy / someonecalmmedown if he does.
Even if he will pass the DLSUCET, I still think you can't take out the Atenean in him. He's been an Atenean all his life - from Grade 1 until his last year in high school. I don't think he'd be willing to leave his Alma Matter just yet. On our way to La Salle, I asked him where he'd study given a choice between Ateneo and La Salle. He answered Ateneo because it's nearer to our house, and he's happy there. I understood him, and I wasn't really surprised with his answer. Iba na kasi kapag may loyalty ka sa isang tao o bagay eh, and in his case, his school.
Les, wherever you decide to study, I'll support yah a hundred percent. Of course I want you to study in La Salle, but I wouldn't blame you for wanting to study in Ateneo. You have my word. Good Luck kapatid!
3. My brother - David
I was chatting with David a few hours ago. Here's how it went:
David Agustin: i got u something for helping me in my account David Agustin: u need it Jenn Agustin: what? David Agustin: trust me David Agustin: check and accept the gift David Agustin: right now David Agustin: :D
I checked it after. I thought it was another one of his jokes, I was speechless when I saw what it was:
Purple Pteri PlushieAng sweet naman! He knew I was collecting plushies and he bid in an auction just to get this. This is offically my new favorite plushie.
Thank you so much David! *hugs*
So there yah have it, my three favorite guys. They'll become four when I meet Rico Maierhofer. haha!

Pinagpasahan ata ako ngayon ah. haha...
I didn't sleep last night because of a project for TREDTWO. I even cut that class today and planned to submit my project after class due to problems with my printer. When my class was dismissed, Arski (my partner) told me that the deadline's next week! Grabe, nagpuyat at nagcut pa ako. Oh well, at least I won't have to worry about it anymore next week.
From the company of my barkada, I was passed to CO, David, and Gaby who I ran into in Z2.
Marami akong nalaman. Basta. haha... Gaby left, so David and I followed CO who was in Agno. I met Agi and Zel, CO and David's friends.
Alliv passed by a few minutes later, so I was passed from the fencers to Alliv.
We went to the OSD to claim our reserved tickets for this Sunday's game between DLSU and UE. Good luck to the Archers! We were able to get tickets, but just one per person. Alliv had a meeting after, to I just went back to the dorm to prepare for HUMAART.
From my roommate, I was passed on to Arski and the rest of my groupmates. We discussed what we were going to do for our project, and it turned out okay. I'm really looking forward to shoot with them! haha...
I was left with Arski after class. I got a form for shifting, but it was only until after I paid for it that I saw that I needed two terms of residency in my current course. Since I have only one complete term, I'll have to wait until next term to shift. Bummer. Oh well, things happen for a reason. Probably to give me more time to decide if I'm really going pursue LIA-COM or settle for just a LIA course. Anyway, we ate in Animo after. Apol then called me about the tickets. He told me he was in SJ, so I Arski and I went there.
From Arski, I was passed to Apol.
Arski went home already, so I went with Apol to the OSD to get his ticket. When we got there, we saw Gazel, Kathy, Ross, and Michael. I miss Ross and Michael, seriously. It's been like forever since I last heard them crack their jokes. I was sooo glad to see both of them, well, at least until Ross started picking on me about... Yun. haha... Grabe Ross, namiss talaga kita.
Now, I'm back with my roommate again. Tapos na yung pagpapasahan! haha... Grabe, bored na talaga ako.

I think I know why I'm having such a bad feeling. I really do think I know why.
Let me start off with things I remember that people have told me:
"Jenn ang cute mo, para kang bata." "Jenn you're such a kid." "Mukha ka pa ring 13 years old." "Di nagbago itsura mo mula grade six ah." "Di ka pa rin tumatanda Jenn." "18 ka na?!"
Seems cool right? Now take a look at this:
"Cute ni Jenn, maharot lang." "Ayokong sabihin, baka hindi mo makayanan eh." "Grow up little girl." "Be sensitive. You're already 18." "Wala lang mas masarap lang makausap sa mga seryosong stuff mga mature people." "You'd just be good old Jenn with fairy tale like ideas."
My friends have told me stuff like this over and over and I just take it all in. I don't know why I suddenly popped and got tired of it all of a sudden.
Stop. Alam kong mahaba pasensya ko, pero tama na please? I'm tired of being treated like a kid. 12 years is enough, but 18? That's going way overboard. It's your treating me like a kid that makes you believe I am one. How do you expect me to grow up if you won't allow me to? I'm okay with being treated like a little sister, but please, not like a 5-year old naman.
Look. I still do cry and whimper at times. I look, jump, scream, and even talk like a kid sometimes, but it doesn't mean I am one. Have you ever tried to tell me things a kid would never understand? No. Do you really think I'd expect a fairy tale romance and a knight in shining armor? FYI, hoping is different from expecting. I'm not in preschool, you know. Do you think that I justify my acts as though I were a kid who just said sorry without realizing what I'd done? It's not like that at all. I'm more mature than you think.
Listen. Please listen to what you're not hearing. It hurts me to know that you think wrongly of me, especially since you're my friends.
Matamaan na ang matamaan. Sorry, I just can't take it anymore.
I'll (try to) do away with my childish antics, just give me time. I'm sorry for making it seem like I was okay with everything when all this time it wasn't.
I'm 18 years old, deal with it. It wouldn't hurt to start treating me like one.

I still have the same ugly feeling I had the other day. I still can't tell what it is, and it still bothers me. How bad is it? I had all the reasons to be perfectly happy yesterday because of certain things that happened, but because of this unknown bother, none of the happy stuff sunk in until before I slept. IT'S THAT BAD. I really wish I'd have even just the slightest idea of why I'm feeling this way. I NEED TO KNOW.
Anyway, the DLSU Green Fencers are selling cookies at 100 pesos per box, 10 cookies. They're really good, trust me! You'll not only be able to help out the fencing team, but also leave your sweet tooth craving for more of the sugary goodness. Leave me a message for orders.
NIBBLES YOU CAN'T SAY NO TO click HERE for more photos
I'm in the blogging mood. I want to make an entry, even if it's complete nonsense. haha...
School? I miss QCPIR. I miss shopping. I miss late-night tambays with my friends (any of them). I don't get to do any of them anymore because of school.
Fencing? I think I'm improving! haha... My lunges are getting better and I just learned how to Flèche, Parry, and Riposte yesterday. I'm still working on them though. I'm getting along well with my teammates too, which gives me more reason to look forward to Tuesdays and Thursdays. I love our team!
The dorm? We have a new guard. That's all. haha... Oh and I'm getting to know more people, including the guys in the 7th floor.
That's about it. haha... Gotta get back to work. Bye!

Weird. I've been really sunny this morning, but I was suddenly overcome by an uneasy feeling. It's as if something bad was going to happen. Weird.
Anyway.
CONGRATULATIONS TO THE DE LA SALLE GREEN ARCHERS! Hurray! DLSU's going up against UE in the finals!
I really wanted to watch the game today, but my dad didn't allow me because it's Sunday. Di ko tuloy nakita 'to:
The numbers are the rank of DLSU and ADMU in the top schools in the world. Our school's ranked #392, while ADMU's ranked #484. I don't know why the banner says it's #488. That's the only banner we had against ADMU's banners saying "suspended", "wala", or any other bashing messages. Suspended? It's a thing of the past. It's silly to bring it up again. It's not about the past anymore, it's about what's going on now. Wala? I seriously doubt that. Read the numbers my dearies. Need I say more?
Look, I don't hate all Ateneans, just those who aren't humble enough to admit loss and those who continually provoke a quiet school like ours. Please, it's not getting us anywhere. Tama na.
I missed other things aside from this banner by not going to the game. I missed the chance to be on TV. Sharon Yu, DLSU's court side reporter, is my friend from the The LaSallian. I could have been seen on TV with Alliv, Migs, and Adrian! Sayang! Missing the big win is also a huge loss. Now, I'll be forever wondering what the crowd was like when we won the game. haha... Oh well, there's always next year.
We are going to the finals, but still, I don't think the finals will match up to a good fight between Ateneo and La Salle. Whatever happens in the finals, I'll still support the archers 100%, especially Rico Maierhoffer. haha!
Never shall we fail. ANIMO LA SALLE!
