i know it may seem a little out of the blue XD but yes...
I'M GOING TO NEW YORK!!!! ^^
it was just this week that i sorta made up my mind about it.. hati kmi ng mom n dad ku sa plane ticket -- i pay half, they pay half.. =D
it was wednesday night -- that day i made up my mind about going (i was sorta toying with the thought already for a long time after mom n dad suggested it.. -- i skyped dad and we looked for cheap tickets.. where? cheaptickets.com XD
we found a REALLY nice one -- it was cheap, non-stop, and it was delta airlines ^^ pero the complication was that we couldn't use dad's credit card because the site didn't accept a Philippine address, tpos kng ung address d2 nmn ung gagamit narerecognize nung system na ndi matching ung address tska ung card (awts noh? XD ..) .. tpos tulog na c tita jinky and tito joel.. so we said, we'll just sleep on it and if the ticket at that price was gone the next morning then it wasn't meant to be...
next morning... ala na... (nooooooooooooo XD ..) .. but we didn't lose hope.. (imagine this na bitin tulog ku, tpos i have to do all this in 15 minutes cuz i had to get ready na for work XD ..) we looked for more tickets.. eventually found one for just 20 dollars more -- pero after chaos, we lost it within 5 minutes! XD .. the next we found was 40 dollars more -- it was starting to look grim =(
until we found one for just 30 dollars more! so we took it.. we used tita jinky's credit card.. so now..... I'M BOOKED! ^^
i'm leaving jacksonville on Christmas day (ala nmn kc daw plano kaya ok lng daw.. we'll only be doing something Christmas eve) in the morning and i'll arrive at NY in the afternoon.. gonna be there till the 3rd of january.. i'm hopin' it'll be loads of fun =)
when i get back, (which is a thursday) i'll be workin' the friday and saturday.. @_@ XD .. but that's fine.. i need the money to pay off my half of the plane ticket XD
that's pretty much it ^^
HAPPY HOLIDAYS EVERYONE! =)
=D
(as a side note: my amp supposedly arrived today at the store.. tito joel said he'll pick it up tomorrow ^^ .. can't wait to get rockin! \m/ ^^ XD ..)

What a week! XD
lemme see.. dang! such a blur i don't even remember what happened monday and tuesday! XD
ay ayun! i remember now XD .. we were preparing for the group presentation that was to happen wednesday XD basically that's it i guess.. tpos i had work on the side.. =D
wednesday was our group presentation for english.. it went well ^^ .. right after our presentation and class ended, i got a call from tito joel.. he stayed home cuz him and uncle golan did the mulch for the house.. when he called me, he said, "guess what jase! you're guitar's here dude!" XD
i was so psyched i couldn't wait for the day to be over and so i could finally see my guitar ^^ .. at the end of the day, tired and all messed up / bogsa XD , i finally saw it and held it in my hands! ^^ .. happy moment of the week.. XD =) .. (unfortunately, la pa akung amplifier and we're still workin' on it pero hopefully makuha ku na this week ^^ .. pero kht la pa amplifier, pineplay, at linalabas ku pa rin araw2 XD ..)
thursday we had lab (after 2 weeks of not having any cuz of veteran's day and thanksgiving XD ..) it was our final lab, tpos lab practical / final na next week @_@ .. me and caleb and justin (also from my lab class) ate at chik-fil-a at the towncenter then me and caleb went to the guitar center ^^ .. pinaayos ku ung guitar ku kc nafrustrate na aq kakapalit ng strings tpos sobrang hassle and nasisira lng kaagad (obviously super noob XD ..) .. bought a strap for my guitar (which there is a picture of in the My Les Paul album) tpos had my guitar set-up.. it cost 45 dollars for the setup pero it was worth it.. atska i2 pa.. what happened was that the guitar tech at the guitar center had 2 other guitar he was working on before he could work on mine, so obviously he wasn't going to be able to finish it before it was time for us to leave.. bale it was just there till yesterday, tita norie picked it up for me and paid the $45 bucks.. "Merry Christmas" daw XD .. thanks tita norie! ^^ .. got to play it a bit today and i am so happy wth it.. i don't remember it sounding this good since i first bought it a few years ago XD .. so that's good ^^
that same day, thursday, was my placement test for math.. for all who don't know, basically, i screwed up the placement test that i took nung summer XD .. so i was made to take Intermediate Algebra.. the academic advisor i spoke to at school said i could contact Dr. Hochwald at the math and stat department to see if i can skip int. algebra and just go straight to pre-calculus.. so thursday was the test that would determine whether i could or could not jump to pre-calc.. good news...... i passed! XD .. actually, my score was a bit short of the score that would allow me to skip int. algebra, but the good thing was that he checked the test manually and saw some of my mistakes that were real minor errors lng.. ung mga tipong 3 x 2 = 9 hahaha amp nga e.. XD .. tska there was something about it that i really felt was God's favor at work.. Dr. Hochwald had a feeling about me that he wouldn't have any problems / he wouldn't hear of me if he were to allow me to take pre-calc.. in other words, he had faith that i would do good in the class.. ^^ .. hard to explain but that's basically the gist of it XD .. ^^
friday was my stat exam.. it was the first college exam i least studied for EVER .. XD .. but i think i did ok p rin nmn kht papanu ^^ .. and i didn't pressure myself too much since Dr. Sen will drop the lowest exam score anyway.. so if i did worse than 95 on this one, edi ok lng.. iddrop un tpos my 2 exams, a 97 and a 95, will just average out to be a 96 which is still pretty good ^^ .. and who knows.. MAYBE i might have done better this time.. (despite not studying much for it XD ..) .. i also registered for classes nung friday.. i'll tell ya about it in another post n lng XD
yesterday, chores lng tpos work.. XD ..
i had to do my grammara quiz for english, a paper for enlish as well, i have to read 2 chapters of my psych book before tuesday cuz my exam is on wednesday (and im tellin' ya.. chapters in that book are LONG.. there's only 16 chapters in the book and it's about an inch thick, about as long and wide as our big notebooks nung high school... tpos nag-hhighlight2 pa aq and take notes on the side.. kaya 1 chapters takes me a long time XD ..), tpos i have to catch up with my reading sa bio cuz im kinda left behind ng kaunti XD, timed essay sa english tomorrow, work everyday monday to friday this week starting tomorrow, lab practical on thursday, statistics comprehensive exam on monday the next week, and then last bio exam on the day after (tuesday) ..
in short, CRUNCH time.. and i don't mean capn' crunch nor nestle crunch either XD
pero if i can just hang in there for the last week and a half of school, i'll be good ^^ .. tpos bakasyon na from the 12th till the 7th of january! ... yipee XD
that's all for now.. ^^ .. just tryin' to keep ya'll posted.. if anybody cares.. XD
take care everybody ^^
