I'm tired.



Wow, I didn't realize I've been saying that a lot. School is a thing which saps every normal teenager's strength. It will leave most of them crawling on the ground, too tired to carry on...

We had a staff meeting in The Angles. We have to release a new issue by February!! We have little time in front of us, but I guess we'll manage... or we'll suffer the consequences.

You might be thinking, "rubber bands? Rowan's losing it.."

I might be, but that is a topic for another day..

I've just dicovered an outlet for my creativity. I recently watched "Spy Kids 2". A guy named Machete told the main characters, Carmen and Juni, that the rubber band is the most useful gadget in the world. 101 uses, limited only by your ingenuinity and imagination.

It is true, actually. I did list 101 uses, and here are some of them:

1.) a stylish bracelet (that was actually stated in the movie)

2.) a means to hurt somebody physically (that was mentioned in the movie too)

3.) a catapult

4.) an addicting substance (they have a certain smell that may be used as drug substitutes... not that I'm doing that, I'm just saying the potential of the thing)

5.) something to entertain yourself (like what SpongeBob does with the rubber band that comes with the newspaper. I like that episode "Rock-A-Bye, Bivalve".)

6.) a means to create a star ( you know, the old star and double star rubber band trick?)

7.) a means of creating a Batmobile (another old ruber band trick that my cousins taught me)

8.) something to hold stuff together (for chargers, wires, and other fiddly things like that)

9.) a weapon (flick it on your enemies' eyes and they will go blind or something. Don't try it willy-nilly. Use only when needed.)

10.) a decoration (what a nice substitute for Christmas baubles!)

Those are just 10 of them. I listed 91 more, but each of them are stranger, crazier, and all are altogether stupid. Weirdness in its prominence....

As I said, I'm tired. I'll sign out for now. Rowan out.

Today is a real downer. Math was HELL. I haven't even finished the first page, but there were only 15 minutes left!! Talk about a long test, and it was reeeeeeeeeeeaaaaally long!!! Can't wait graduation day...


Anyway, back to the topic on the title. I'm a very hard critic. I criticize almost everything, from those commercials which show the remarks of other people about a particular movie (number one, number one, number one!!) to the diction of other people's english (I hate wrong grammar AND bad pronunciation, and that's why I became a copyreader). Watch out, Simon Cowell!!

Most of my criticisms are about people's grammar and pronunciation. I even criticize the Prsident's English!! I don't mean to brag, but I am naturally born with good diction and superior English skills. I don't know, maybe I got it from reading my mom's books since I was 3 or something. They were college books, for Pete's sake. Now that I'm older, I have extended my prowess in English to a level my other classmates can only dream to have (bragging!! stop it, Rowan!!). My mom also let me edit her writings and stuff. Dad does the same thing.

Right now, I'm criticizing nothing. No, really, I'm criticizing NOTHING. As in nothingness, emptyness, voids. Why do some people become top guns in the world while I'm stuck here with nothing but my fantasies?



Wait, that's not really criticism. That's more of jealousy..... When it comes to feelings, I'm stumped. Rowan out.

finally!!!

I've been having a hard time trying to post on my blog. Everytime I try to log in, the page cannot be found. Darn it.....

Well, I'm back in school. Hooray.....

....and it's exam week. Another hooray.....

Have I mentioned that I got contact lens already? It's rather irritating at first, but, well, it has its rewards. For one thing, I don't have to bother cleaning my glasses. My eyesight won't be obscured by scratches on the lens anymore. On the other hand, it takes longer to put my contacts on, and when I do it wrong, it irritates my eyes. ffff....


Oh yeah, and I got waitlisted in Ateneo. Danna got in, but my application is still on the danger zone. What is stopping them to accept me? I got good grades, I think I did well on the ACET. Maybe it's because I applied for the full scholarship.......well, anyway, Dad wants me to go to UP, and I agree with him. It's just rather downing and insulting that I got waitlisted....


Going to another topic, the cheering competition is near! It's the time of the year again for practices under the blazing sun, issues about choreographers, costume payment tantrums, and that all-important year-level rivalry!!

Our batch, Seniors 2007-08, is the DEFENDING CHAMPION of the cheering competition. We wowed the crowd (wow, it rhymes) even since we were in first year. We were the first to do so in Atheneum. We lost in second year, but that was due to some complications. We snatched the crown back anyway last year. Now, we want to graduate with three wins in our record, so the pressure is set so high. To graduate undefeated (virtually) is our goal.


Of course, coming with the cheering is the big Atheneum sportsfest! Our batch is REALLY undefeated in the sportsfest, and our basketball team is the most revered and feared team in the school, having won EVERY GAME they played. I guess one secret to our batch's success is our stong unity and support to each other. This year is no different. As I said, to graduate undefeated is our goal, and we will achieve it.


This post ain't as long as the other one, but I guess it'll do. Rowan out.
