#22: BROUHAHA (AND STUFF)
brou·ha·ha (brū'hä-hä')
n. An uproar; a hubbub. [French, of imitative origin.]
Got the term from a newspaper article, the author of which have used it quite a lot of times. 'Brouhaha' is a fitting word to use, what with all the ruckus that had happened these past few days. Right now i'm doing this article amidst the noise of the ati-atihan and the marching bands (it's fiesta here, by the way), the irritation I feel to my equally irate chatmate, and the annoying thought that I still don't know what the hell Grimace is. Well tag if you know. It'll be one less problem.
First off, I received my test results in this summative test in Physics(the one I was talking about in my last post). The score's actually not bad. In fact, it's quite high, as compared to the section's test mean. Thanks to Kat M. and Xtian S., who had the patience to teach me some. And I also cleared some requirements in Math. So that's a minus in my workload. I still got ComSci, tho. Nonetheless, I'm inside the circuit again, y'all!
Periodic exams are coming up, so naturally, nobody's reviewing. Hah! This grading period I was not included in the reviewer's circle. Crap, no subject's left for me to cover, that's why. So, wish me luck, way to go.
Intrams, finally, is underway. Props for Ms. Sabado and whoever pushed her to approve that. Two days in a half, man! Whoo! I heard the Seniors' cheering squad's good. As for the games, I don't wanna join, really. I just need the free time. But they put me in Men's Volleyball. Ah, just shoot me.

Newsflash: Field trip's supposedly out. Aw man, that sucks.

I had this sleepover at my house, first time. Not actually a sleepover, you know how MaScians are. We had to finish our movie in Humanities. We're on the editing stage right now. My crib's the most plausible place, since it has a computer shop, and we need Window's Moviemaker.
So, no prob. Except for the fact that I hadn't informed mom yet. When I did, she turned beet red, saying that now's not the time, since the maid took the boot(it's the latter's decision, actually), and there's no one to take care of us. I think her good ol' son's kissy-kiss did it. Ha! My charms worked, even with mom!
My plan was to go home early, maybe three o'clock, to clean the house. But it was whammied by a certain school personnel, who delayed a release of a much-needed form, knowing that I had requested it two weeks ago, all the while conjuring alibis and possessing an air of annoying indiffrence, ascertained by his pseudo-authoritative attitude which is not at all needed in a job of that nature. Heck, I arrived home at six.
I told mom only four people will go. Nine arrived.
Allan: mami, anjan na sila!
Mommy: Welco-
Lawrence: GOOD EVENING PO!
Mommy: *faints*
They joined Klitty in watching the 'Mean Girls' flick, then ate, then went to business. Well, not really. What will a group of overnighting students who have access to computers do? Play counter-strike, of course! I sort of expected this scenario to happen. And what's worse, the cd that contained the video files turned against us and cracked, at the time when we needed it the most! How ungrateful. So we were stuck there for a time doing nothing, except play s'more. We tried to review for the periodical test, but it's a no-good situation. I started doing the opening credits, and some looked for songs and sound effects to match. That's about it. Then we got to bed at 4:00 and slept for two hours.
Second day. I woke up to the bandemonium outside. Oh yeah, it's fiesta. I reckon i'll be seeing a lot of ati-atihans and donation envelopes today. We resumed our filmmaking. The title's The Perpetual Pearl Massacre. We found awesome sites for horror music. It's good James brought his usb. Sarah, ever the life of the party, discovered some hilarious effects. Oh, Jaycee washed our plates. Good Jaycee!*pats Jaycee's head*
We did the most thhat we can. We mixed and matched, and, poof! It became Koko Krunch. That means, the outcome's crappy, but formidable. There's some really great scenes and hilarious clips. Maybe you'll get to watch the movie in YouTube someday.

Prom's two weeks from now. Well, let's just see what happens.
