Fresh Events
I finally finished all the long tests for this week. 
It’s been a long week. Hoping against hope that I get exemption on both Theology and Physics final examinations. Obviously, I’ll be stressed out again next week. I’ve got 3 major projects due! *eep!* Please just let me get through these last two weeks of school.
But good news! I think I’m on the road to recovery from my illness. My nose is less runny now, and the coughing spells are not that bad anymore. 
Thank you to my mom for buying alll those boxes of tissues. And she constantly gives me Chinese throat drops, white fungus soup, and liquid cough concoctions. My hunbun is really sweet too for always going out of his way to make me feel comfortable. Also for eating congee with me. *hehe*
It’s that time again for the ACP (Alternative Class Program). Hunbun and I picked the class “Firing at Crame”. Yes, we get shooting lessons. *lol* It’s a guy thing, but even a girly-girl needs to learn self-defense right? And there’s something exciting and alluring about handling guns. Here’s the official description: This will be facilitated by professional PNP trainers. The flow of the class will be: first a lecture from the instructors about the misconception regarding guns and the great responsibility involving gun handling, then the rest of the class will be brought to the firing range where they will have a first hand experience handling guns. There will be a PNP trainer assigned to each student.
The star members of the Lockload Forums have a postcard exchange. And I just finished making mine. *heh* It’s supposed to arrive by the end of September, but I’ve been so busy. Click more for pictures. I had a lot of fun making it. 
Introduction page on pink paper with scalloped edges.
Collage page with various stickers and cutouts of: angels, hearts, hello kitty, roses.
The bottom-most flap page on tulip-printed paper with my signature and little blob doodle.
The collage page on top of the flap page.
The introductions page on top of both.
Finished letter, folded up the edges, with little baby girl sticker.

I amazingly had no tests/quizes this week. I was VERY happy. Well, I had a french quiz but that doesn’t count cuz we have one every week on this “Mots de Jour” junk. YAY!!! I was so happy that I actually had no tests or quizes in a week. I don’t remember the last time that happened!

And your postcard is very creative and eye-popping! I also thank you for visiting my site and for leaving a very nice comment.

Hey Gretch! Thanks for tagging, hope you’re feeling better
So you’re getting shooting lessons? I guess I’d rather choose some kind of martial arts for self-defense purposes. I don’t think I’d manage to shoot somebody. However, good luck on your tests!

Glad the long tests are over. I hope you get that exemption. I hate Physics! Yay you’re feeling better! That’s great. Your mom is such a sweetheart and your hunbun too. They would never have that gun class here. I’m surprised they allow it at any school. Sounds interesting though. I’ve always wanted to go to a shooting range. That postcard is sooo cute! I’m jealous of whoever is getting it hehe.

Glad to hear you’re recovering from your illness. Being ill with a runny nose and what not really puts me off doing things. Anyway, the postcard is lovely! Seems like you put a lot of work onto it. Looks great!
No tests, is always fun! Glad yours are over.

I’m so jealous!!! My Bunch is exempted in her Physics (a very very hard class) and hopefully (with a huge possibility) her Theology class
The only thing is that the last long test paper couldn’t be found. Oh well but I’m very sure she’s exempted! Actually., galing nga ni Bunch eh daming projects and homeworks pero she still gets very high grades in them! Wub, don’t worry! Just one week left and everything will be fine! Hehe! Anyway, goodluck to the both of us in our upcoming finals week! I pray we get very high grades in all our tests and enjoy our sembreak! (let’s watch a movie or something kasi miss ko na tayo magdate! 
awww!)
P.S. My Bunch doesn’t want me to buy hamsters kasi sick daw sila haha!
