When I travel, people often ask me why I live in the Philippines. Well here it is…..

It is the only place on earth where……

• People can get away with stealing trillions of pesos but not a thousand.
• Where being an hour late is still considered punctual (Grabe talaga ‘to!)
• Where the squatters have more to complain (even if they do not pay their tax) - than those employed and have their tax automatically deducted from their salaries.
• And where everyone wants to leave the country!

I am really getting bored in school, cause we aren’t discussing lessons excluding Chemistry and Values ((the teachers are such err!)) but I still love not to have classes though haha you know I’m really weird and guess what? Our periodical exams are next week! But thank God we are only going to take the first part which are English, Math, TLE and History Hooray!

We keep on decorating our room pero ngayon medyo nag li lo kami kasi wala pa kaming mga materials naubusan last week, so kailangan pa namin ng maraming ipil-ipil at sana balat ng niyog.

I’m kind of excited about the return of MAGING SINO KA MAN on tv. I’ve been a very big fan of Celine and JB love story and those unforgettable quotable lines ((like: I never said that I love you and Yes I’m a slut but I’m the best slut in town))

Christmas is really fast approaching cause 13 more days and TADA! It’s Xmas! Wohoooo. I am really excited about the gifts I’m going to receive.

Anyways I’ll try to visit your blogs later, I still have to review Math because we will be having a short quiz tomorrow, it’s supposed to be today but it was postponed because of a meeting. :yes:

And before I foget I was tagged by Kang and I got D!

Tagging Ate [Grace], Ate [Valerie], Ate [Sarah] and Ate [Hanmae]

You’re not the emo-est of quiz-takers, but you lean in an emo direction. You feel angry and passionate on a regular basis, but you also have an easygoing side that keeps you grounded. You’re naturally introspective, but you’re not compelled to analyze every detail of your life—sometimes you’d rather shrug your shoulders and get on with the day. You understand why your emo friends seem so sensitive, but you also get why that drives your non-emo friends crazy. You’re the happy medium of emo-ness!
