Week 10 Saturday Today, I’m studying for our final exams. I’m focusing on a subject scheduled for Tuesday, so on Sunday, I’ll study for the exam scheduled on Monday. This way, I won’t have to rush or feel pressured to cram for the next day. Since I have two exams on Tuesday, it’s good that I’m studying one of them in advance now. When I get home on Monday, I’ll only need to study for one more subject. Does this make sense? What matters most is that it works for me.

Week 10 Thursday Today I didn’t do much, a regular day. 👀

Week 10 Tuesday I know I’ve mentioned my PE zumba enough but I’ll do it again :p. It was such HAHAHA, it was not AMAZING so it sucked- not my members but where we dance, the music oh don’t even get with me started with music. Our professor has this lot of setup for the music to sound like you're covering it with your hand when it plays, and we kinda need a BAM like volume to make up for our mid performance so we did just aight. Well good thing is- one down. By the wayyy, our PE prof is cool, we hart

Week Nine Saturday I stayed up way too late last night and barely got anything done for my school activities—I feel so lazyyy! Because of that, I ended up missing my 7:30 AM alarm for our PE dance practice that starts at 9:30. Ugh, I suck! Anyway, I still made it at 11:15 (oops), but honestly, the dance steps are easy, so we don’t really need to put in a ton of effort to learn them. That said, I hate how we haven’t fully mastered the routine yet. It’s "good enough" for everyone else, but it bugs me. Then again, it’s just a Zumba routine, not some serious performance, so I guess it’s fine. When I got home, I was so sleepy that I tried napping while sitting at my desk, but of course, there’s always a limit to how long you can nap like that—using your arms as a pillow just makes them go numb. Desperate for proper sleep, I fixed up my bed and finally settled in, only to have freaking sleep paralysis. :) After that, I didn’t even bother trying to sleep again.

Speaking of sleep paralysis, I want to share one of the scariest experiences I’ve had with it, which happened recently before today. It was nighttime, and I woke up briefly when I felt my Lola get up. I could hear her moving around, doing something at the sink. Since I was only half-awake, I didn’t pay much attention and tried to go back to sleep. Before this, I knew my Lola had a habit of occasionally leaving the sink running, so the thought crossed my mind. After some time, I assumed she had gone back to bed, but I suddenly became aware of what sounded like water running. My eyes were still closed, and I wasn’t fully awake, but I started focusing on the sound to figure out if the sink was actually left on. At first, I thought, “Oh, it’s not open,” but then I heard it again shortly after.

That’s when I decided to open my eyes to check, just to be sure. The moment I did, I realized I couldn’t move my body. My mind immediately panicked, thinking, “I think I got tricked into opening my eyes.” which is so fucking scary. I’ve experienced sleep paralysis before, so I knew what was coming next. After a few seconds, I expected to see a shadowy figure in my vision. Instead, I closed my eyes again, hoping to avoid seeing anything creepy, and then I heard it. A clear male voice in my left ear whispered, Matulog ka na. That was when I really started to freak out. But as it happened, my initial reaction wasn’t even fear—it was more like, “Bro, I WAS asleep, and I got woken up because I thought the sink was running!” I’m convinced that voice only appeared because I closed my eyes instead. Knowing what to do from past experiences, I focused on moving my fingertips until I finally broke free from the paralysis. When I got up to check, the sink wasn’t even running.

Week Nine Thursday I didn’t really want to go to school today, but we had Euthenics, which we only have once a week, so it felt too risky to miss. And, of course, there’s your class, sir (angel emoji). After our discussions and taking care of what needed to be done for UTS, we had an after-school practice since we’ll be doing a Zumba dance on Tuesday as part of our performance tasks. It was fun! The place where we practiced even had a playground, and, miraculously, all the swings were empty- so rare! I couldn’t resist hopping on for a bit. I tried not to spend money today, but, as usual, I failed. That’s basically how my day went, though I might add more later. Right now, all I can think about is sleep.

Week Nine Tuesday The highlight of my day is usually PE, mainly because most professors either don’t have lessons anymore or are absent for the day—at least, I think so. Anyway, we still had a few lessons today before PE, which is our last subject. We also had a 30-minute break before our PE class, so, as usual, we went for a stroll in SM. While there, we stopped by the food court to grab some free water, but we noticed a bunch of small cockroaches inside the glass display where they keep the food warm at one of the stalls. Super yucky. We were expecting to do some physical activities since that’s what our PE teacher mentioned before, but instead, we just had a brief discussion, and he assigned our final activities. That’s pretty much all I remember, aside from eating way too many sweets.

Week Eight Saturday Procrastination…..and then study until 3 AM

[farlyy]

Week Eight Thursday Today most teachers didn’t have classes, probably busy grading the previous examination, that's how fast this new term is! Teachers are not even done grading the previous one! The pressure is creeping in now, we immediately went home after class ‘cause there’s really so much to do. Though I’m not doing them yet, procrastination is at it's finest.

Week Eight

Tuesday

We had a lot of discussions today; the teachers are covering handouts before the exam AGAIN. Other schools typically only have three terms, so I don’t really see the need for us to have four terms crammed into just four months per semester. That’s a total of only eight months per year—so short! Anyway, this is the moment I mentioned before, where teachers assign TONS of stuff just a WEEK before the EXAM AGAIN. Since it’s only Tuesday, the panic hasn’t sunk in for me yet. On the bright side, we had ice cream today, so that was fun!

Week Seven Saturday Saturdays are my rest days and the day I promise myself to be super productive on Sundays—to do some advanced reading or take notes that I always end up skipping. I swear, after waking up, I can easily go back to sleep, and that's exactly what I did. T.T Probably the most productive thing I did this weekend was watch movies, which might not be great, but it was definitely more fun! I can always plan to do something on my weekends, but this time I just want to chill—a bit like the calm before the storm (meaning the pre-final).

Week Seven

Thursday

We’re at that point again where teachers aren’t assigning much, and the schedule feels really open. But just when we’ll need time to review for the upcoming exams, that’s when everything will be assigned. Back in senior high school, we’d go out everywhere after class, and I’d forgotten how fun that was. What’s stopping us from doing it in college now that the schedule is flexible? I’m planning to do it more often from now on! 😊

We started with a nearby spot, the Aguinaldo Shrine, since my friend Nicole had never been inside his house! I was a bit shocked because I thought it was a go-to spot for every student around here—it’s one of the VERY few places we can 'gala' to, after all. For me and my junior high friends, it was our favorite hangout spot. It’s just a bummer that right after midterms, we’ll have another set of exams. I thought we’d at least have the sports fest before pre-finals, but now it’s scheduled on a day when I usually spend most of my allowance. We’d planned a long time ago to go somewhere farther during the sports fest.

Anyway, at least my friend finally got to go inside Aguinaldo’s house! There wasn’t much else to do there, though, so we called it a day. :)

Week Seven Tuesday My Tumblr has been invaded. :( You know who you are! Anyways, today is fun! We had a little activity in our UTS class where we anonymously wrote down our insecurities and passed them around for others to respond to. Aside from regular classes, we also did our practical exam and performance task for PE midterms. Even though the flow was a bit chaotic, it was still fun to see what the other groups had prepared. After class, we grabbed some food, checked out the thrift store near the school and went home, fun!

Week Six Saturday Woke up by 2 PM today.😀 I’m really going to be super productive tomorrow to make up for it though!

Week Six

Thursday

I had so much fuuuun today! I got to interact or bond more with my classmates and with other people. I’ve realized that I’m slowly regaining my carefree, happy-go-lucky attitude from when I was younger. I want to write to my future self that you're living a fun and fulfilling life because I’m doing everything I can right now to make it happen.

;;;;;;;

I wrote this the day before hoping to try and manifest it, didn't really work 😐

Week Six

Tuesday

Woke up with a mild fever and I want to apologize to my teachers today ‘cause it was really obvious I was soooo sleepy. Though, on our last lesson which is PE I was not that much sleepy because my instructor was really engaging and funny plus I took medicine earlier that day so I feel much better that time.

I went home and had a little accident when I got off the ride home. It’s a normal routine, I get off at St. dom intersection when the jeep stops at a red light but today I was in the mini white air conditioned bus? I’m not really sure what it's called. To get off you have to open the car door and in that certain vehicle before you get off you have to look at the window for a nearby motorcycle. It was a red light and we also stopped at the crosswalk so I got up from my seat to get off the vehicle. When I opened the door a fast bicycle jammed into the door. I wanna cry huhu, while I was shocked the traffic light turned green and the driver where I got off drove away. TT

So I’m left there shocked and shaking while the man was aching from the impact. They tried to chase the driver though I don’t really see his fault here. It was a red light yet the guy in bicycle was so fucking quick, he jammed into the door with the same impact from how fast he was. The bus was also parked near an elevated sidewalk, so the gap between the vehicle and the curb was only as wide as the drainage area, meaning the cyclist had been squeezing into a really tight space.

Of course, I felt terrible that the cyclist got hurt and blamed myself, but in the bigger picture, I couldn’t have done anything to prevent it. The cyclist, however, could have slowed down at the red light. The police arrived and their plan was to chase the driver and I asked them what the girl (me) to do? They looked at each other like they have no idea but they're indicating that I’m not at fault here. I even asked if they needed my contact info and they looked at each other again huhu, but they’re saying I can go so I sincerely apologized to the cyclist, gave him my contact info, and took his as well. So, that was my day. I discover to never ride that kind of vehicle again :)

Week Five

Saturday

Slept pretty much all day and brain rot in Tiktok, but do not worry I will procrastinate all tomorrow. It’s not even procrastination it’s just right. ☝️

Week Five Thursday

Today was the scheduled day for me to try purchasing a uniform again. Unfortunately, there still wasn't enough stock, and since my first class was really early, I couldn't wait in the long line. It takes hours before you reach your turn, so that wasn't an option. I kept going back to check if the line had gotten shorter, but every time I returned, there were new people at the end of it. In the end, I didn’t manage to buy the uniform.

However, I’m still happy today because we had a graded recitation in Euthenics. I had been feeling down after not scoring well on my Prelim video task for that subject, so when the teacher announced that I was one of the students who did well in the recitation, I was relieved. Hopefully, it will help boost my grade a bit. As a form of self-care today, I finally bought a new wallet to replace my two-year-old one. I’ve discovered that recently, I keep choosing white-colored items, although I need to stop because they get dirty easily and it's a hassle to clean them every week or month. HAHAHAHAHA I just realized the photo/video attached to this has no really significance to the context of my journal, it's the design na lang. Now I'm shy about T T
