.::Norika Hiwatari's Haven::.

What can I say? Yesterday was one of my worst day of the week. Actually, this week is my worst week in DLSU… ever. I didn’t attend my whole class again like the other day; I only attended my Departamental Exam for DASALGO.

When I woke up, I was feeling a bit bad. Headache was there, though sometimes it comes when I was awaken by my alarm. Annoyed, I clicked on the snooze button to give me 5 more minutes of sleep. Eventually, my mom came in my room, checking how was I doing. She checked my temperature with his hand and said in Filipino, “You need to rest. Do you have any exams today?”

I cleared my throat, coughed a bit and said, “yeah… 6:30-8:30pm. I can’t miss it.”

“Okay, you’ll just attend your exam. Get some rest.”

“mmokay,” was all I could say. Releasing a few more coughs, I went to my bathroom and do my morning duties. Suddenly, a thought came out randomly. “Oh… It’s Wednesday… I wonder if he’ll be online… he still doesn’t have his new laptop though,” I thought, losing a bit of hope seeing him.

As usual, I was so stubborn. I still used my laptop to check who’s online and to review DASALGO. What can you expect? I didn’t got any chance to review the other day. They made me go to bed… well, it was for my own good… As I was saying, I was plurking a bit then my internet connection died on me. I kept on refreshing until my laptop can detect the router.

Then there. My internet came back, YM logged in by itself again and… I squealed. He was online on his mobile. I couldn’t help but to double click his name and IMed him. Somehow, my sickness left me for that moment. I felt joy and comfort while we were talking. It was short, but it didn’t matter to me. I missed that guy. I miss every moment we do together. Though when he stopped replying, I suddenly missed him. I began to wonder what he’s doing… Did he got caught? Did he had a fight with his mom again? Or maybe he’s just doing his homeworks?

I was paranoid again. I shook my head, reminding myself that he’ll be fine and recalled that he doesn’t want me to worry to much. So I decided to review my DASALGO. Gwenie, my friend, was also online that time. Wondering how she is and talking about random things. She also sent me blog links. I couldn’t help but read them at the same time.

Time reached at 11am. I was somehow getting bored, then suddenly I couldn’t help but spaz. He was actually on YM. We started to chat again. He apologize to me that he fell asleep. I find him so sweet to think of me when he woke up. A part of me wants to snuggle him and hug him so much. I find it so cute, I can’t really explain why but there. We were having some sweet moments again.

Before we said our goodbyes, he confirmed to me that he’s finally going to get his new laptop on the 23rd. I’m getting excited about it. At the same time, he also wished that I’ll get well soon. Then he signed off to do his howeworks. My sickness came back, unexpectedly, but it was lessened.

Moving on to my DASALGO exam, have I mention that it was like hell? Other than me getting stuck in a traffic, I felt like I might get a passing grade only… or maybe even lower… It gave me a headache and I felt so sick again. I really, really want to sleep on the spot, but sadly I can’t.

Why is my sickness so evil to me? …Rest, please come here more often. I badly need you too.

Mood :  optimistic

Yesterday, I attended ENGLCOM because of a quiz. I could always have cut all of my classes just to rest… but I can’t. I wasn’t really sure if I could always get a make-up test.

When I was on my way to Gokongwei to meet up my friends, I was coughing a bit. I thought I was better and this sickness was just the same old as before. Boy, I was so wrong. As I stepped in the room, G306. The room was cold, my throat started to ache again. I tried clearing my throat (and somehow it help). I saw Chad and Joshua, I waved hi as I approach my friends.

Chary, Gem, and Gwenie were still there doing the Exercise in OBJECTP. I wish I could help them, but I felt like my brain isn’t functioning well. I saw Julie watching over the three.  I could see that she wants to help as much as possible if only she have learned the lesson already. She is a caring friend afterall.

Julie asked me how was I. I started dictating my sickness as I count along with my fingers. Headache, muscle pain, sore throat, colds, and coughs. Well, that made my day. That’s for sure. Suddenly, I couldn’t stop my coughs. I was coughing like hell. I could feel my tonsils aching in pain as if it was being poked by thousands of needles everytime I cough. That time, I’ve confirmed. I was still not good.

As for those 3 girls doing their exercise, sadly they couldn’t finish it and just sent it for the sake of having a grade. Well, it is better than having a zero. Moving along, we decided to eat at the 6th floor of Andrew. Since it was still early, we got an elevator easily. My cough suddenly said goodbye for now. I thought that the canteen wasn’t so cold but boy, it was so cold. I somehow felt lucky for wearing long sleeves that day. As I tagged along to the catering, I saw the pasta. I didn’t know why, but I felt like eating lunch again. Everyone ordered Carbonara, except for me -  who ordered Spaghetti - and Josh - who ordered rice.

While we were eating, everyone was having small conversations (which I sadly couldn’t remember). I was happy and contented seeing my friends there and being with them felt so great. My coughs came back, then I could remember Chary, telling me she’ll bring this Chinese medicine for me the next day. She said that it was for sore throats and that it tastes sweet. I felt grateful and thanked her. I somehow felt excited trying that medicine. Afterall, I’m also a Chinese, trusting my lineage’s medicine isn’t that bad.

Luckily, we came just in time for ENGLCOM. Our professor wasn’t still there. Julienne stayed in for a bit. While Romi and Josh were joking around, I couldn’t help but laugh. Oh, have I ever mentioned that laughing was bad for me? Everytime I laugh, coughs came in. My throat started aching and my muscles ached. All at the same time. Despite the pain, I couldn’t stop laughing at those two.

Once the professor came, everyone scrambled to their seats and Julienne went to her class. The test for that day was outlining an Article about computers for young children with or without disabilities. It was giving me a headache for each time I think. The room was silent and chilly, after all we were taking a quiz.I want to cough so much but I don’t really want to create such noise. Clearing my throat every time I felt that my cough will strike again. It helped, somehow, but it was killing me slowly as if I was being choked by something.

“How much time left do I have,” I thought to myself.

Luckily, my questioned was answered when Calvin stood up and passed his paper. I wrapped up my answers and passed them. My friends who passed by me asked if I was okay. I answered jokingly, “If I said yes, would you guys believe at me?” Well, of course, I felt okay just being with my friends makes me happy, but my body wasn’t really feeling so good.

Before we said our goodbyes to each other, we hanged out a bit at the second floor of the Andrew building. We photocopied the notes our DASALGO professor has uploaded. After that, I pleaded goodbye and went down the stairs. Then out of the build. I dash to my car and went in. My dad was waiting for me that time, afterall.

My dad asked me how was school. I was just, “mm yeah. It’s okay.” I wasn’t really feeling good that time… again. My dad asked me out to eat dinner. I told him I wanted to eat at Rai Rai Ken. I really wanted pasta that time. I don’t really understand why.

As we go to Rai Rai Ken, I was just listening to my favorite radio station, Magic 89.9. My sickness likes me so much that it won’t leave me at all. When we reached Rai Rai Ken, I ordered Chasyu Ramen. It was one of my faves. I didn’t really have a conversation with my dad. I was living in my own world again while waiting for my ramen to come.

Once my ramen came, I took my chopsticks and digged in. For a moment, I felt victory. My coughs left me while I was enjoying my ramen. It felt like I was in heaven. Sure my throat was being punished by the hot soup, but I didn’t felt pain at all. It was truly heaven.

I was so glad that it died somehow. And I did my same old routine, as I reached home, I’ll use my laptop and do some plurking. Then suddenly it hit me. I was feeling hot, I was looking for the electronic thermometer. Feeling a bit dizzy, I went back to my desk, watching my idle laptop. I haven’t reviewed for my exam. I don’t have any other choice, my mom gave me Tempra and water. I layed down on my bed.

“Will this be my last night? Am I going to die? I can’t die yet… I haven’t even met him personally… Ugh… I still need to study for DASALGO… Why now? There are other days… Why during my midterms? Why won’t you just leave me alone,” was all I thought as I drifted to sleep.

Mood :  sore

Damn it. I hate this, I got freakin’ colds again. Other than that, I got muscle pain, I can’t walk well. Also the muscles in my stomach (abs perhaps is what it’s called..?), hurts badly also whenever I cough. Oh, also my throat is aching like hell. Isn’t that just great? I had to cut 2 of my classes today and attend one later for the quiz.

I reviewed for my DepEx for tomorrow. Dang it. Why is my body not doing well nowadays…

Mood :  sick

Oh yes, where am I? As for whoever has been watching my blog, I’ve been plurking. Yes, Plurking! You heard that right. It’s basically like a YM status and people will start on making a comment to the point that it turns into a conference. XD Well, I was kinda got dragged in by Gwenie. xD It was due to our boredom. <3 Haha. Also, I wouldn’t really plurk in the first place if dRO didn’t die. *sigh* :<

It died due to finacial problems and their internet connection isn’t cooperating with them. Though I think it’s also that it can’t handle much players? *shrugs* After that event, well, I still chat with some close dRO friends. Nothing really change much between us. ^^ Other than that… I’m slowly turning into a nerd or something. x.x

You might think that it’s fine, but for me, it’s not! T_T Why? Well, simple, it’s just not like me. D: And it creeps me out badly. Sometimes, boredom scares me. It does it’s own creepy ways on me. It makes me do things which are not really that common, like wanting to sew a plushie. Well, I still want to for a special reason. Should i share it? Nah. =P

Updates how I am? Well… recently, we just had our LEAP and pass our phase 1 of our MP for OBJECTP (2 more to go! Woohoo! .-. ). Along while getting sick every other week. x.x I’m blaming the weather for that one. It’s really weird… Oh well, I’m somehow doing well for DLSU <3 That’s what matters for me.

For this coming week, guess what? I’m going to have tons of quizzes. Hello Midterms~! So fighto mode on. <3 Yosh~! Must get high grades… or else. *dehdz*

Well, that’s all I can share. xD Oh, I’m not sure if you’re reading this, and I know you know you’re the one I’m talking too. I miss you badly and I wish that you’ll get a sparkly new laptop. <3 Get the built-in webcam. >:3 hahaha! Oh and I still can’t beleive your mom broke your laptop. |: That’s just so… bleh. x.x

Okie, okie it’s getting late now. Hopefully I’ll be posting weekly. <3

Mood :  crazy

Well, I guess today I really got bored (and being bothered too much by Tanya, my baby sis). The reason why I suddenly made some origami is that I was looking for nice origami that will be used for my class’s project. XD; You can say that I got distracted and got this urge to make some to kill time. Hahaha =D

Anyway, here are the things I made all in all.

Mood :  stressed

Well, for today, I can say that I’ve accomplished my essay for TREDONE. Hahaha I don’t know but I wrote a lot of things about me too much I guess. o_O; Ahaha Oh well, doesn’t matter it’s not that detailed anyway. XD Haha

Anyway, what’s bothering me is the new professor in ENGLCOM. Well, due to dissolve classes, our prof got switched with some old lady. Well, she doesn’t seem that bad but… she kinda looks like she expects a lot from us and well… she’s BORING. D: Ugh… I felt like I want to sleep during her class. I controlled my yawning as much as possible, but somehow I kinda failed. I also kinda felt bad that she’s making us look stupid and that she’s making it sound like our first prof didn’t taught us well. But then again… it is our fault for not remembering what our first prof discussed about the syllabus. But hey, what can we do? We’re just students and sometime we do prefer remembering some parts or only the part that caught our attention.

Well, doesn’t matter now I guess… All, I can do is bear with her and whatever style she plans to teach us… Though I hope that she could be as fun as our first ENGLCOM prof. :< I don’t really like essays and what more if I don’t like the prof? D: Ugh…

Well, good luck for me. ~A~ I hope I’ll survive this course…

Mood :  restless

Well, to be honest I feel like the first week of the 3rd term was tiring even if we didn’t really do anything much. XD; For the first day, we got a free cut already! XD Haha Looks like our Calculus prof got switched. haha. I’m kinda getting nervous who’ll we will get. XD; Oh and also, the only academic thing we did was in ENGLCOM (English Communications) was answering essays…. *shudders* I don’t really like those type of questions. >_> But moving along, We really didn’t do much for this week, everything was like introduction and getting-to-know other people from other sections. But the funny thing is that we’re still somehow a huge number of  s19s in the other sections. XD haha

Hmm… what else… well, I only got one assignment for this week, it’s for my TREDONE (Theology and Religious Education Department) class. It’s just writing about me and how my religion is applied to me. But the other thing is about getting details about my parish and do church services to them… for 10 hours… But I don’t want to… because that means I’ll be helping out in San Beda and I don’t really like that place for some reason. >_> *sighs* Oh well, I don’t have any choice I guess… Oh well hope that luck is on my side still. XD;

Mood :  content

Haha so tonight was the last confe my friends and I had. XD haha and for me, this was the most memorable thing we got. Haha Enjoy! =P (**the Japanese characters won’t appear =P sorry about that)

Mood :  cheerful

I fixed the look of my 3rd term schedule so it would be easy to view and trace down while class starts first and whatnot. =P

I thought this would be the best Christmas vacation… but it was well, boring. Well, I guess I finally get to finish The World Ends With You (TWEWY). XD Though there are bonus missions which I haven’t finished. XD; Though conclusion? It’s one of the best games I’ve ever played in my life. I’d give it a 5/5.  The game play is really unique and interesting, the graphics and musics are so modern. The artwork is just so drool worthy. (And for some reason, it’s hard to find images for TWEWY XD)

I downloaded the soundtracks (yes, I download them because it’s hard to find those kinds of music CDs here in Philippines and my parents doesn’t support buying over the internet). I’ve been listening to the songs for… a week already I think. o_O; Ahaha… well, here’s a list of my favorite songs in TWEWY.

1. Twister - SAWA
2. Long Dream - Makiko Noda
3. Calling - Leah
4. Hybrid - SAWA
5. Someday - Hanaeryca
6. Make or Break - Hanaeryca
7. Deja Vu - Joanna Koike
8. Transformation - Andrew Mitchell
9. Three Minutes Clapping - J.D. Camaro
10. The One Star - Cameron Strother

(Note: these aren’t arrange XD)

Hmm… well, that’s all. XD Well, for those Square-Enix fans, this is really a great game and I recommend this one~ <3 You won’t regret for getting this game. ^^b
