I can't believe I just saw Rachelle on TV. My sister was watching MTV Get Spotted while I was trying to sort out my things. It was only when I heard the name Rachelle dela Rama that I started to look at the television screen to see who was on TV. And it was my friend from Grade School. I was so surprised. What's more astonishing is when she mentioned her school. She goes to Ateneo. So, she's here and I only found out now. We met when we were in grade 2 and became really good friends. The year after that she moved to Bacolod but we were in touch. We would write letters to each other and talk on the phone. But that didn't last for long. A letter I sent her was returned to me and I never heard from her since. I tried looking for her in Friendster but my search wasn't successful. It's either she doesn't have an account or she's using a different name. Well, at least I now know she's just here in Manila, thanks to MTV. But then again, that's all I know. I still won't be able to see her Oh, by the way, Tom's going to study in Ateneo this coming school year. Nope. Not ADMU, but ADDU. The last time I checked, his plan was to stay with his brother Chad in Cebu and study there. I don't know what happened.

Classes in UP started last week. However, the professors weren't showing up yet. I only met 3 out of 7 of them. As I was about to go to school I thought that perhaps this is really the start of my regular class as a sophomore. My Math 100 (Calculus) class starts at 1 PM and it is the only subject I have on Mondays. I even sat infront so that I would have no excuse of not understanding any part of the lesson. And well, our Math prof still didn't show up. If I didn't have an org, going to school today would have been totally pointless. During training, I delivered a crappy speech. I was even asked to do it again because it was a failed speech. I was the first speaker of the debate and I wasn't able to do my job. I wasn't able to give a clear set-up and my arguments were truistic since I was arguing on a general level. My repeat speech was better anyway. I guess next time, I should really read about what's happening around.

Aira came to school yesterday. I was so happy to see her again. It's only been two weeks since school started and I must say that almost every place in school reminds me of Aira since Monette and I are with her most of the time when she was still around. We had lunch at Yellow Cab and talked about what's been happening in school. Monette and I told her that we are taking almost the same classes except for Hum 2 and SocSci I. My Hum 2 is on Saturdays and hers is on Mondays and Thursdays. She's not taking SocSci I this semester since she already took it last summer. Aira says she's not having so much fun in Diliman. She hasn't met new friends yet. And she can't seem to perform her Emessez operation there. But I bet things will better for her in the coming days. I missed the replay of One Tree Hill today. The show was over when I got home from the derma and Nail Tropics. We didn't go home directly after our Nail Tropics appointment which is why we got home at 8. We ate at Tokyo Tokyo before going home where we saw this couple having their display of affection. It's not the sweet type. It's the type that should be done somewhere else, somewhere more private. It just pisses me off.I know that I should be open-minded but I believe that there's a time and place for everything. Teenagers and yuppies are not the only people who hang out in Eastwood. Many families including mine dine there during the weekend and I don't think it's the right place for couples to do their "thing". I mean, get a room. Going back to One Tree Hill, I just learned from Christel that the show is not being aired on Mondays. Arrgh! I do hope I get to see the next episode.

Yup. We don't have classes today. Manila Day. I miss having a free day. Last year, I only had to go to school 4 times a week. Wednesday was a free day. But now, I have to go to school 6 times a week. Anyway, I'll be doing my homework today. I don't want to fail any subject again and so, I am going to be more responsible this time. I will work harder. I have a classmate in Math 100 who has failed that subject 4 times already. I don't want that to happen to me. Oh, by the way, Tom has a girlfriend whom he met through the net. This may be the last time I will write about him. No, I'm not hurt. I'm just disappointed. Disappointed because I never thought he would be the type who would get into a relationship with someone he barely knows. I mean, how shallow can he get? Wow. I can't believe I'm writing all this. So, for now, I will just study and focus on my acads. No more Emessez for me. Life should be easier now.
