Up to this point, this journal is now FRIENDS ONLY.

Sophomore year's alright so far. Quizzes and homeworks abound.

I don't like writing poetry in Filipino. I'm horrible at grammar and Filipino verbs are just gwaohaohrar?

Our class officers are all A's.
Auds, I didn't vote for you dear, you might have gotten stressed out again. Oh well what's done is done, congrats
Adelle,
Alexia.


I've become a Nazi with my own grades
AND I LOVE IT
I haven't felt this good about my grades in a long time. I know it's only the first half of the first quarter and my marks will probably plummet in no time, but still. It gives me a small moment of reprieve.

Jorie and Marie like the same band as me <3
And we've been playing cards like hell the past two days

Life's been good. I'm sleeping too much again.


Something's missing.

From now on, I'm going to make this LJ FRIENDS ONLY.

I'm not in a very welcoming mood ok.

Workaholic quarter, this third quarter is. I'm really miffed about that but in some way I'm not, because in some sick, twisted, psuedo-masochistic way I'm actually enjoying all the typing up papers and research on the computer, probably since compared to other people I have a much less workload.
Or maybe since my attitude towards work in general is pretty flippant but I still seem to take it seriously at the same time. Wow, I just contradicted my own statement. Go me.

So last night Kamille and I stayed up late (well to her it was very late, to me it was a day in the life) to finish the History storyline thing... And we find out it's due tomorrow, and with our group, my storyline wasn't even used. Oh well, I guess the shorter it is the better, since my damn two-page chock full of extra descriptive adjectives and long words to make it seem longer would probably exceed the ten minutes alloted for the 'carillo' shadowplay... However you spell that.
I still find it amusing and sort of sad that Gabriela has WAY MORE INFO on herself than Diego Silang does. Probably because of that Philippine Joan of Arc description of her, but really, no offense to the Philippines intended but no one can beat Joan of Arc. Added points since Joan is a SAINT.

Anyway, I'm enjoying the work in a sick and twisted way that only I can derive a sick and twisted pleasure from. I've been bored lately. The word "bored" and the phrase "I have nothing to do" has been popping up in conversations from my own mouth countless times since yesterday. So I guess it helps me actually do something worthwhile, and it prevents me from sleeping during the afternoons.

Today was alright. Fun like that normal schoolday is... In that "Fun, but not VERY FUN" way. First I had a Lit meeting at 12:30... Then at 12:45 Green Team meeting. I'm one of the spear+shield (spield?) people, yay. Then after the GT meeting Ianne and I had a meeting for Filipino-- Which didn't push through because I have absolutely no idea what.
The only thing I'm worried about in Filipino is that reading-the-poem-to-song part. Kathleen's a great teacher, but I'm scared I might forget the tune of our one and a half-stanza >:
The skit is fine. I'm Diego and he's a silent, forgotten poor little middlechild. So I only have one line, yay.

So what else... I should finish my bookreport someday.
....Someday.. When I'm actually feeling up to the challenge of actually doing it. Watership Down is really annoying in the fact that it's so LONG, and to look through it to find passages is a bitch. Oh well, at least the main premise of it is simple.

So Science was full of hyper.
Is it Ionic..
Or COVALENT?
(:

I feel like I have nothing to do. Such is the world of a total procrastinator with no activities outside of school hours.
Guitar was cancelled today for I have no idea what reason. We were supposed to work on a new piece today, but oh well- I had more time to sleep but much less time to actually get my lazy ass in gear and do something worthwhile.

I did work on my Literature book report a bit though. By "a bit" I mean "Typing up one character description out of three, in the first part of the report". Half the time was spent picking bullet points and having the correct formatting and indentations (I'm OC about those things, especially when I have to pick one standard bullet point out of like 30+), and looking for pictures to place on the first page of the report.
Watership Down is easy to do, but it's really annoying to have to root through the 478-page book with font that is probably size 10 or less for passages to defend your answers in the report.
Damn, I'm making a big deal out of absolutely nothing in my standards.

Things to do:
- Lit Report
- Read the essays for Lit homework
- Get Lit vocabulary
- Do HE homework (MORE ID PICTURES agh.)
- Try to live without yaoi for just a little while, at least enough to read the Bible for some time.

Things I have to do everyday:
- Make bed.
- Read New Testament stuff.

I bet that whenever I read the New Testament passages for the day, I will most probably be reading the Book of Revelation most of the time. The Apocalypse is interesting enough, don't you agree my friends (and acquaintances)? I'm just not sure if that's what Fr Dodero had in mind when he told me to read the New Testament daily.
Either that or I'll be reading Ecclesiasticus, but that's in the Old Testament.

So, what did I do today:
Wake up
Sleep
Eat
Computer for more than 9 hours non-stop. In my standards that's pretty short, considering I wake up at around 12nn and get into bed at past 12am, and I fall asleep one hour after.
So my usual internet-using time is.. 13 hours or so, but with some breaks inbetween. CHAOS is such an abused piece of technology.

Random things I have noticed about myself in the last few weeks:
- I have stopped saying that annoying "ano" whenever I speak normally. I think it's a good thing seeing as it's a really bad habit I had last year.
- Unfortunately, the habit of saying "ano" in every sentence has been replaced by using continually long and sometimes complicated words that are dysfunctional in ordinary layman conversation. See? Even when I'm typing my blogs there's an inexorable habit of using words like this. You can't imagine how many people have been saying "What does that mean?" or "I can't understand what you just said!" to me this past week. Okay, it's mostly Steph. But still.
Papa says it's a good thing but I bet a lot of other people find it strange, especially since I make it so habitual and it flows naturally. x_X
- Marielle and Isa say I'm 5 pounds underweight. Well, Kamille's underweight too, if that gives me any consolation, even if I'm not supposed to be comforted by that fact. And if I'm underweight then Mom, Jill and Jen are underweight too. Uh..
- My period's getting irregular. How strange, I should've gotten it way back during Halloween. So far it's ten days late.

That's it, I suppose. I think I need to do something with my life or have a decent, long, witty conversation without pauses or else I might drive myself insane with boredom. I mean, I've been doing online SUDOKU for an hour during the afternoon! And everyone knows I DONT DO SUDOKU (since I royally suck at it).

I'm happy to say that I am satisfied/sated/satiated with my exam scores. Whatever word you'd like to use.
I actually got pretty high in my Filipino QE in my standards, and I'm very surprised, especially since after taking that exam I literally cried to my mom while she drove me home from school that day.
I'm happy. Prayer works very much.

Today my arm/hand hurt. More like the aching sensation that you get when it gets numb but not really, like something happened to it but you don't know what, so it's hurting and numb and I don't know what the hell I did to my hand to get this thing. It's not gone yet, just severely downtoned. I can still feel the numb. Oh well.

Kamille's back and she molests my notebooks.

We have a new schedule and dammit, I won't have an excuse to sleep in the afternoons after school anymore. I know my parents don't want me to sleep in the afternoon but it's already a habit that I need to break. A bad habit, the adults keep telling me.
It's one of the reasons that I always look sleepy and have dark stuff under my eyes without eyebags per se.
I wouldn't have it any other way, really- Looking sleepy is a good way to throw people off from your thinking and it makes you hard to read. Heh.

Addicted to Death Note, even if episode 5 just came out subbed today. I have to wait another week for the next one.. Or a few days. Dammit, and episode 5 was so bitin pa. I want to see L's face already. >:

So yeah
I'm a Blank Rubik's Cube, yay.

MORE QUIZZES HARHARHAR

( LJ quiz stuffs )

k wtf

Before I go to guitar today, I am bored (like Marielle) so I shall do quizzes.

( Quizzes~ )

A brief history of my blogging experience since I was bored.
I don't think anyone cares but It's interesting since I tend to forget most things about my past except some details.

+ During 5th grade I had a notebook that functioned as a real diary. I had several diaries before that but I never filled them up, but I filled up this one. Her name was Gokone. I gushed a lot about shounen-ai and how "Gokone-chan, you are the one that knows me the most" and stuff.
Hey, I was 10 years old, alright.
And I'm pretty damn proud of having good grammar back then, now that I read the entire thing cover to cover (It's a pretty small notebook).

- Lifespan: January 13 - February 20, 2004 (one month and 7 days)

+ After Gokone was another notebook which I can't find today, and its name was Aspeneon. I remember that it was yellow and I bought it at the Woodrose bookstore. Short-lived.

+ Some time after that, which is probably around 6th grade or the summer of 5th grade, I got an EBloggy account and used it a LOT. I named it Lunatic Garden.

+ EBloggy went into this severe maintenance mode sort of thing, and all the users were deleted. Mine included. So I was blog-less for some time until Trisha (trishacamille) got a Blogspot.
Then I decided to follow because hey, why not, and we can comment on each other's entries. So I made one, and Lunatic Garden (the second incarnation) was born, so named after a dungeon I really really liked in Wild Arms 3 (the run-down temple with all the canals and plants and the moon/gravity guardian).
Lunatic Garden was made on February 12,2005.
Over the course I got my computer Kanon replaced with my current one, CHAOS.
That makes CHAOS at least a year old. Woot.

- Lifespan: February 12 - June 23 2005 (4 months and 11 days)

- Excerpt: "I've read my 5th grade diary. I am surprised to how much I've changed."

+ On June 23, 2005 I moved to Xanga, and it was named Twilight Garden.
This was the longest blog I have ever had in my entire life.
Some time, Xanga went all pissy and deleted all the accounts belonging to users who were aged below 13, and I was 12. So byebye Twilight Garden.

Lifespan: June 23, 2005 - March 19, 2006 (around 8 months)

+ After Twilight Garden's demise, I made a new one, called Zero Minus Infinity and it's my current one. I don't use it anymore though except to read all of my batchmates' blogs (since we're predominantly a xanga-using batch) and comment, and sometimes I crosspost my entries from here to there.
Zero Minus Infinity was so named because of the song Successful Mission, the opening of Saber Marionette J. It has a line which said "Wandering the void between zero and infinity" and so I thought "does negative infinity exist?" so the name was born.
Created on March 19 of this year.

Lifespan: March 19 - July 21, 2006 (semi-inactivity - 4 Months and two days)

+ And here you are now, at my livejournal, Dreamland Arrest. I moved here because it's more awesome than LJ and Jill and Jen have it, so yeah, Hopefully most of our batchmates will move to LJ because in my opinion, it's much more awesome than Xanga.
Probably because I'm an icon-whore. I like icons.

- Random Tidbit: This LJ's full name is Dreamland House Arrest, referencing to the fact that I stay in my room isolated from the rest of the world other than chat for most of my life.

Lifespan: May 15, 2006 - Present


And there you have it. PROOF THAT I AM ADDICTED TO BLOGS
HA
CAN ANYONE ELSE (I'm looking at you batchmates!) MATCH THAT?
OHOHOHO

( So if you count starting from Lunatic Garden 2, which is the only blog I know to have a definite date of creation, I have been blogging on the internet for one year and 10 months. To make it simpler and to give you a sense of how long it was, this lasted from the middle of 6th grade and currently it is the second semester of 1st year HS)

Happy Halloween, everyone.

So first we all dressed up and met at Marielle's, where we bummed and talked and waited for Trisha who was the latesy (1:30! We were supposed to meet at one!) and we used Steph's car instead to go to Kristen's house.
Spazzing over OMGOMGOMG KRISTEN HI.
Then stupidly, I forgot my umbrella (which was an integral part of the costume) so my maarte-ness made us drive back to Marielle's house to get it. Yeah.

Hanging out with sina Marie in her house for some minutes, don't know exactly how much. Auds changed her hair. Joycee was late. We were overdressed. I showed Ianne my eyes-on-eyelids and she got naaliw. She told Nicole. Nicole got aliw. Nicole showed everyone. They got aliw. HOW STRANGE. Steph gave a sort-of strip show. We also introduced ourselves in our 'celebrity like roles'. Here. (original costume -> role in Steph's life)

Steph - Celebrity -> Celebrity/Paris Hilton.
Trisha - Masquerade Girl -> Backup Dancer.
Kamille - Newspaper Girl -> Tabloid Distributor
Marielle - Goth -> Groupie
Isa - Evil Fairy -> Celebrity's Lucky Charm
Me - Aristocrat -> Manager

And our theme song?
WOMEN OF CHARACTER BLABLABLA duc ad veritatem duc ad veritatem woot woot
With strange high voices and accompanying rap!

Left her house and went to Marielle's house to eat, then afterward we walked to Cuenca and the whole world beyond in AAV (well part of it) while trick or treating. After walking for maybe at least an hour, everyone except Trisha and Kamille were complaining about their feet, since we were all in HIGH HEELS. Oh well.
One house was giving away COLOGNE
One girl complimented my boots when I asked TRICK OR TREAT

Candy, mmm. Isa and I shared a bag because it was big and we wanted to share SO THERE we split our candy.
Cuenca, seeing sina Marie again
Hanging there for a short while
Me, Kamille and Marielle resting in my house.

Then we went back to Cuenca and Steph and Trish came back to us. Then Kamille went with them to the party in Langka and Me, Isa and Marielle stayed in her house and crashed in her room sorting our candy.
Then ANDREW (Marielle's brother)'s NICE NICE KIND FRIEND JUSTIN gave us a lot of his (and Andrew's.) candy. He is the cutest ever.
WE LOVE YOU JUSTIN

And we talked and stuff while Andrew and his friends burst into the room randomly to hide because they were playing BANG.
Isa left.
And Marielle and I had strange conversations. We also found out that Andrew's skeleton hand which was movable could do THE FINGER

Me: *eats Blueberry Bun from Gardenia*
Marielle: I don't like buns!
Me: ........... *Blueberry spills on lip*

then later:

Me: *just made Marielle throw the wrapper of the bun*
Marielle: I don't like blueberry buns! WHO WOULD EAT BLUEBERRY BUNS?
Me: ......... >: !!! *makes the skeleton hand do the finger*

Mmmhm. Andrew's friend Edward's costume was awesome. PINK SHIRT PLUS SPIDERMAN BUTTERFLY WINGS
Isn't that just so manly and good.

So yeah
Twas fun
I have candy now. And cologne WHICH ANDREW USED BEFORE I EVEN DID
ohwell

Happy Halloween, minna-san
