CHRISTMAS...

Christmas is the time to remember the birth of our savior, our LORD, Jesus. It is the time to spend with our families and friends. A time for merrymaking, for sharing and for realizing. It is the time when people stop whatever that is keeping them busy over the year and spending their time instead on enjoying things they haven't enjoyed for awhile.
This year's Christmas is well. My second semester allowance arrived on schedule. My father got home safely and we, me and my highschool classmates, had our reunion. Not only that, I also bought myself a new phone---a 5310 xpress music. I saw some of my old friends whom I haven't seen for quite a long time. But I'm not really happy this Christmas. My close uncle died this month. He had an unsuccessful operation that led to his death. I'm sad for his family, especially to his children, my cousins, who are still too young to lose a father. Nevertheless, this year's Christmas isn't so bad.

Here we are again.

Last Tuesday our teacher had this really fun activity on writing a collaborative paragraph where each group member would add what their groupmate had already written. It was also a time-pressured activity and guess what, I'm the time keeper. Well, I was slightly biased. hahaha announcing the time only when my group had finished writing. Though it wasn't really necessary cause my groupmates were really good. (that includes me :D) After that activity, we had a "boogle-like" quiz where our teacher tested our vocabulary. It was more like a contest actually. A contest which is sad to say, I didn't win.haha I only got 3 points!lol

Another thing that worth mentioning, last Friday we took our JEEP placement exam. It was like a test to find what level we are in our English skills. I got 2.7 in my placement level which means that I don't have to pay 1200 php for a JEEP course.:D :D

That's all and out.

Last Tuesday, I went to school a bit early to buy my English book. I was kind of excited to purchase one. Little did I know of the chain of events that would happen that day. A bit jumpy to buy a book, I rushed to the English Department. "English2 ma'am, the red one (since there are two books:red and blue)" I told the in-charge. She eyed me then scowled (she did scowl!) "Hurot na raba dai" it's already sold out, she said. I was really dismayed. I hadn't made my assignment yet! Half-hearted, I went to my first class (Filipino) and asked my classmates if they had made their English assignment. And unsurprisingly, they didn't.haha I borrowed their book and answered since our teacher was late--good heavens!! I made my assignment while studying at the same time. Poor kid--no book, no assignment!! I should make my Poor-KID-Association. haha. Our English class went well though, I explained why I hadn't still have a book and my teacher, GOD Bless her, understood. My day went smoothly until one of my classmates asks why I'm using "themodernpoe"? Am I fantasizing being the next Edgar Allan Poe? Or Fernando Poe?hahaha I answered her that I want to be the next "Winnie-the-POE" hahar. :D Well, I am still thinking why I entitled myself "themodernpoe". It's kind of a self imposed title that I made myself back in high-school. I was--and still am--an avid reader (or fan if you prefer) of Edgar Allan Poe and his mystery stories, macabre and lyrical poems. I too are writing stories and poems in this genre (it isn't like what Poe write!!haha I'm still working on it). The other reason was actually stupid--I was pissed of with my classmate who called himself the modern Shakespeare. Blah blah.haha. Did my introduction made it sound that my day went bad?
