We had our simulation test a while ago. And, as usual, I didn't know what to do in Math. I should really start reviewing 'cause I really, really felt that I did bad in that test. But there's soooooooooooo many things to do. I am rereading The Shadow of the Wind for my book report, and there are two books waiting in line to be read. The first is Dracula (after reading The Historian, I knew I have to read it) and the second one is The Romanov Prohecy. And then I joined in this spelling contest with a cash prize of 25,000 php at stake. Cash Prize, baby!

Thank God I was chosen for the elimination round on Wednesday, so I have to study for it. And then I still had to write an essay for the Ateneo application form and another essay for the OLPSian Times, plus that book report.

It never ends.
My God.

This week I'm going to review Gen Sci, Biology, Chem and Physics. Good luck sa 'kin, I'm gonna have to memorize the Periodic Table. Grrr. Stress. Stress. Kung pwede lang tumambay na lang pagka-graduate eh.

Yesterday we had out field trip but I'm not gonna write what happened here. 'Cause nothing happened. It was so fucking boring. And our adviser is so KJ. Pakingsiyet yang last field trip na 'yan. It's not memorable at all.

Badtrip. Badtrip.
Stress. Stress.
If only I'm born a math wiz. You know, that type who doesn't have to study so hard but can answer any problem given to him?
Sadly, I was not bestowed with that gift.

Badtrip. Badtrip. Stress. Stress.
Pakingsiyet...

If I have all the time in the world, I'd sleep, sleep and sleep...and probably read a lot of novels...and eat lots of pizza...and stare at pictures of Brandon Routh and Jake Gyllenhaal.
But sadly, I don't.
If I complained a lot last year about being so busy with school works and not having time for other things, I guess I'm not going to complain now because it might drive me insane.
MYYYYYY GOOOOOOOOOD.
If only I can pass the UPCAT and the ACET and the other ETs without studying. I hate my school. Our principal is the most cruel among them all. No, not cruel. She's nefarious. She's like the female version of Vlad the Impaler or of Nero.
Imagine, Aug. 5 and 6 are the schedules for the UPCAT, and our Periodical test is scheduled on Aug. 7 and 8.
That'll be so fucking draining. My brain wouldn't be able to handle it. By August 9 I won't be able to remember my name anymore.
I hate this.
So I guess I'll just have to look on the bright side. Uh...if there's any.
I''ll just have to face the fact that my life is a gloomy, rainy day. There's not even a peek of sunlight in it.
*sigh*

But pushing rainy days and the sadness of my life aside, I'm so happy to be part of IV -St. Paul 'cause (almost) everyone's my textmate. That's because everyone's a Globe subscriber.I always receive gud morning, gud nyt and yehey unli n q messages everyday.

But it still doesn't change the fact that my life is that depressing time of the year which I always hate.
RAINY DAYS.

This entry was meant to be posted yesterday...

As I exited the cinema last night after watching Superman Returns, I had these thoughts...aside from those Brandon Routh-related. tee hee...

What if Superman is real? Maybe things would be different in our world.


Women Need Superman
Here is one hot dude who'll come to your rescue when an ugly goon suddenly takes away your purse, or when disgusting drunkards surround you while you're on your way home late at night. Isn't that every woman's dream? A Knight in Shining Armor?
Or in Superman's case, an Extraterrestrial in Tights and a Red Cape.
If there really is a Superman, then maybe there are no rape cases today. Maybe Superman would have managed to save all those helpless victims(women and young children), who had their childhood and dignity taken away from them. Maybe he would have saved those whose lives had been taken by terrible things called lust and desire.
If Superman is real, then maybe us women will feel protected knowing that we're safe even if we're out in the streets at night 'cause there's a hero out there somewhere who'll surely come to our rescue when we need him.

This Country Needs Superman
Maybe Superman could put some sense on our government officials. Maybe Superman has this power to manipulate a human brain and teach it to do only what's right. Then maybe the lives of Filipinos will not be as hopeless as it is today.
If Superman existed, the Ultra Tragedy would never have happened. He would have put all those people to safety. Also the Landslide in Leyte. Superman could've stopped the landslide from covering the entire town and its inhabitants.

The World Needs Superman
There would've have been no 9/11 if there's a real Superman. He could've thwarted those tragedies. He could've stopped those airplanes from hitting their targets and land them to safety, like he did to the plane in which Lois Lane is in. Then the World Trade Center would've still been standing proudly today.
There would be no bombings, kidnappings and beheadings today if Superman existed. He could stop them all-the bombs, the terrorists, the big guns which sends poor helpless people to their demise in just one shot.
Superman could stop them all, even those natural catastrophes. After all, he's SUPERman.
But I think that if he existed, he would eventually grow tired of us. We would be too dependent on him, like we are today on machines. No matter how many times he saves us, that wouldn't stop crimes, that wouldn't stop evil deeds. Evil can't be stopped. So if we call out for him everytime, that's asking for too much. And he'll give up on us and leave us. Not all things can be rectified. There are things that just won't go away, and we just have to leave it as that.
So in this demented world we live in, all we have to do is to be each other's Superman..., or each other's Spider Man...or each other's Batman.
Because nobody's born with extraordinary super powers. No caped or masked hero will come to save us.
All we really have...is one another.
