As you can see... it has a title now :D

Hello there! It's been soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo long (I think the O's can't suffice for the time) since I posted on this blog of mine. It's because we had a helluva week (or was it almost a month?) studying for examinations, and now, it's finished, so I could post again! Weee!

So you say, "What the heck's with the title?"

I'll say what that 'heck' is.

It's "In My Life" cast by John Lloyd Cruz, Luis Manzano, and Ms. Vilma Santos.

And it was a REAL GOOD MOVIE!

This film had the right mix of emotions for the right times in the whole of the film. At first, it'll have you laughing, then you'll end up crying in the next scene. Another good thing was that the ending isn't what you expect it to be. Oh, I have run out of words to say for this film. I'm still speechless since I posted this after I watched it. Well, watch it for yourself! Promise, it will be worth every single penny.

After the short-post-that-could-not-do-justice-for-my-long-hiatus, I think I should go back to my comfy hotel bed and enjoy this long weekend. Will be interviewing Arnold Clavio on the 21st! (deep breath)

Cheers to all!

Yesterday, we did not have a lot of classes (to the point that we went to school for just one class!) so we went to SM Manila to watch a movie. I was so excited with the movie-watching thing, since this was the, believe it or not, the FIRST time I'll watch a movie with friends. In order not to buy any more big food in the moviehouse, we went to a restaurant to fill up our tummies. We had a lot of fun at that part too, since it was the time we had to share what happened to us the last few weeks (the highlights of which will be backtracked later) especially to Ate Sario, our FBC, who is now in 3rd year (it was soo much fun being with you Ate Sario!) and could not be able to visit us often because of her subject load.

So, on to the movie. We watch Disney Pixar's "UP," a story about a man who tries to fulfill his late wife's wish, and learns valuable morals and earns new friends in the process. If you haven't watched this film yet, I tell you: IT IS A MUST-WATCH! I swear it is really worth every penny, not only because of the excellent cinematography the fusion of Disney and Pixar offers, but also because of its heartwarming story, and its moral of letting go of the things of the past and turn it as an inspiration to embark on a new adventure of your own. I also liked the way the characters are made by all the people behind the movie, and how their separate lives (in this film, the protagonist Carl and his co-protagonist, the child Russell) met in this film that would surely send you in fits of laughter and tears of joy. (Do I qualify as an endorser for this film?)

Well, after the film, we took a picture at the "UP" movie booth, and my friends noticed that I looked like the kid from the story. Well, I don't know about you, but here, judge for yourself:


So, after the film, we went our separate ways. Mich, Teia, and I went to Worlds of Fun to burn the popcorn and chips in all the rides (laughs). We all went home afterwards.

All in all, it was a fun day, and it will be one of those that I'll never forget.

Well, for the past weeks, I have been saying to my friends, "Ooh! I will blog this!!" and "Oooh, will blog that!!" but I have never really posted during those past few weeks. So, to compensate for all those would-be posts, here is an all-in-one post that aims to do justice for all those events.

William spent the hours peacefully sleeping as he dreamt about pleasant things that he could do this weekend.

So, it's back to Sandra's point of view. Enjoy!

Before I knew it, it was the final class of this day. Chemistry is one of my most hated subjects, and I wish I never had it on my class list for this semester. However, I need to take this to fill up one of those General Science classes on my overall curriculum, so I had to endure an hour and a half of lectures I don't want to hear.

"Alex! Don't forget about our party later!" somebody shouted outside

"The party... yeah, right, I'll come," the one who must be Alex, replied

"You need to wear formal attire, though," another one said.

"I'll swing by my dorm to get them. Don't worry, I'll go to your party," Alex replied as he opened the door of the Chemistry classroom.

I was shocked.

The boy I've been looking forward to meeting entered.

It was only about hours ago, but I feel like I haven't met him for ages.

He looked at me with his pine green eyes.

I looked at him to, and blushed. We had the eye contact for what seemed to be forever. He finally gave me a smile, which I returned. Oh, that smile... I melted at the sight of his smile. He sat with his friends at the further end of the Chemistry classroom, but all the time he kept looking at me and I just couldn't resist looking back. I heaved out a big sigh and grinned as I faced my open notebook and held my pen.

"Oooohh.... it's him for the nth time of the day!" Tina said.

"C'mon, it's not him. I was just looking at an old friend of mine," I replied.

"Okay, then why are you red all over?" William asked.

"Am I?" I said as I pulled out my compact mirror and looked at my face. It was indeed as red as a cherry. "Oh my gosh... okay I'm busted," I said with a smile.

"Would you try not looking at him just for this class?" Leona, a friend of mine who was not present earlier because she's in a different section, said. "I heard from Irma about how Alex nearly not answered the question of your professor in Physics earlier. He might get reprimanded again," she adds with a smile.

"Oh, all right," I said, and stole a last look at him before our professor entered.

"Hello class, and welcome to Chemistry 51! I hope it will be a nice new semester for all of us!" the professor, who looks like a fresh college graduate, said. "It's my first year in teaching, and I hope I could teach you well!"

The professor then started a lecture on ions. The class was good, not only because of the professor's dynamic teaching strategy (which led me to digress from what I said earlier about Chem), but because of the fact that HE is here in this class with me. I didn't notice the hour and a half fly by, and the professor dismissed the class.

"Finally, class is over for today! You guys have any plans?" I said.

"Oh, sorry Sandra, but yeah. Have to go home coz' my family's watching a movie later," Leona said.

"Yah, me too, Sandra. Have to go to a friend's party tonight," Tina said.

"Oh, definitely not me," William said as I looked at him. "Remember the club meeting I have right after class?"

"Well, looks like I'm alone now," I said. My other friends went home right after the class, so I was left with nowhere to go. Suddenly, Alex came and went to my seat. Of all the handsome men to come!

"Oh, hello there!" I said.

"Yeah, um, hi," Alex replied. "You're Sandra from Math and History class, right?"

"Yes, and... Alex is the name right? Heard it from your friends before you entered the room, sorry for being sneaky," I said.

"Oh, that's no problem," he said. "Um, I think it'll be very awkward since it's your first time to meet me and I'm saying this, but--"

"Yes?" I said. I could feel the nervousness, and I could see it in his eyes.

"U-um... Do you w-wanna g-g-go with me t-tomorrow night? A-anywhere's fine..." he stammered.

I blushed. I never ever thought that he will be asking me out! Help here, I need air!!

"Um, yeah, sure, fine with me," I said.

"Thanks. I promise it won't be a bad night. What say we meet at the university mall at 6 and we'll talk about a place to go?"

"Okay, thanks for inviting me," I said.

MY FIRST DATE!! I couldn't help but be euphoric as he left me and closed the classroom door.

***************

So, as you see, it's her first major date on part four!

Let's take a break from the story parts! I've been conversing with Ana-chama in YM just a few hours ago, and we have formulated a new vocabulary word! Weeee!!
