someone that cares

I like the feeling of having someone that cares for me...SOmeone to talk to when there are problems..and stuff that I just can't tell my parents, feelings that I just used to keep within me. It's great knowing that someone is out there always willing to lend me his ear and listen to what I have to say.

It's also great to wake up every morning and have a message in my phone's inbox with a "Good morning" greeting. It gives me a sense of warmth..the kind of warmth that tells me that somehow,somewhere, someone thought (or is thinking) about me.

yuck!

I was walking to Sanchez this morning when I saw this guy riding a tricycle just spit on the ground, like it was the most natural thing to do in the world...It was just so disgusting. I was looking at the ground real hard so as to avoid stepping on whatever he spat out.

It's already bad that we get to see a lot of dog and horse poo in the streets of Manila. Hey, animals are animals. IT's already bad enough that there's no one to clean up after them. But humans leaving their biological garbage on the streets too? Gross, gross, gross... It's totally uncivilized and just shows a complete lack of discipline.

HSK

Finally! The HSK is over... I didn't really study a lot for it to begin with anyways..hehe I didn't know what to study so I just read a lot of Chinese books and studied the lessons we had in Beijing.

The test was almost the same as the reviewer I bought. I had a couple of mistakes in the part where we had to write the Chinese word in the box. :P I just suddenly forgot how to write the word, although I knew what should go into the blank. I have a feeling that those are not my only mistakes.I still hope I pass though... hehe

I heard that the results of the test is what the universities in China use as basis for admission for international students. I don't have plans on studying there now...but who knows?

HSK Mock-test

Went to PCHS for the Mock test for the HSK . It started at 8 then ended around 1030.

Guess where my seat is...It's in the first seat of the last row. and it was super cold there. haha My hands were practically frozen towards the end of the test.

ANyway, the test itself was ok. They didn;t get back the answer sheet so that we could check how many we got right. (They gave us an answer key) I'm not yet done checking, but I have 3 mistakes in the listening portion. Then I checked the last part which required us to write the Chinese words themselves(they gave us a sentencem we just had to fill in the correct word)...I got a few wrong...It was funny actually, I knew how to write them, but at the time I was taking the test, I felt that what I answered was right. Honestly, I'm trying to delay checking the paper, since it could be disheartening. :D

Oh...btw. Guess who I met there. I saw Stacie(Uno lower batch) and Kris Jean(my neighbour in Beijing). haha There are a lot of people taking the test. Around 300, and I think there's another test center in Kalookan which means the number could be bigger.

Wish me luck for next weeks test!

Milenyo

This is a pic of the building next to us. Actually, a lot of the surrounding buildings lost their roofs after Milenyo swept.

Neneng is coming on the 5th...Let's hope all these buildings get their roof back by then.

update:
still looking for work, but now am busy with the planning for the fund-raising bazaar. hehe We're still deciding what to sell. WE have lots of ideas on what to sell but worries about costs,expenses, ROI kinda deprive us of the freedom to go through with them.
