Whew. Have an exhausting morning. I went to bed last night at around 8 but I think I only have slept at around 1 or 2 in the morning. My mind is drifting somewhere else. England to be exact.

So I didn't feel good when I woke up at about past 6 this morning. The exam starts at 7:30 (which by the way I don't believe, I know Filipinos), so I rushed in eating my breakfast but didn't rush taking a bath and fixing myself. It would took me forever (OK just little exaggeration) just to fix myself. Just want to look good, feel good and comfortable. Glad I already chose what to wear yesterday. If not im gonna be late!

Mom, dad and my bro went to mass (which I wont do today) so they dropped me at the examination center. And was I mad to see only 4 other people were on the room. We should be 20 or more and the exam starts within 5 minutes. Ahh, Filipinos. When will they stop doing that. Oh, I have a number 13 as my seat number. Many associate it as bud luck but turns out to be my lucky number. Also, I saw two high school classmates who are also taking the exam, so have a short chat with them.

Then, believe me on this, the EXAM started at 8:30! What we did within the hour? Paper stuff. Have to sign this and that and this, have to check this and that. Weird is that the proctors can't pronounce my name and they kept comparing my pic which I passed (have a spike hair and beard) to what I looked today (I have my hair brushed up and my beard shaved)! Waste of time. The earlier start the earlier time to finish. They should have done the signing thing after an examiner arrives. When will the government automate some of their manual operation? Just hate it!

The exam was 175 points with English, Math, FILIPINO and CONSTITUION! Boy was I shocked to find the last two. Went good in English and also Math. Filipino part wasn't that hard too. Just glad to find out easier Filipino words (ie "sentenaryo"-century) rather than deep, un-understable words like "salungkawit" (don't know its English) or "himingting." Told you I'm not good at Filipino. And glad I still remembered some of what I have learned in Constitution back in my senior life. It's a requirement here that college student learn about the constitution.

The exam was finished about 11:30, 3 hours of computing, thinking etc. Whew. Glad its done. Now, I would only wait for the result. Hope I did good.

Now I'm off to lunch coz I'm starving and off again to bed. I'm exhausted. Need more sleep!

Just finished reading a book regarding the "Holocaust" in WWII. Such an inhuman act! Hope it won't happen again.

Hey, the sky is lit up with so many stars. Have to go to the roof and star gaze. Lovely night!
