I know I can [= ♫ 10:07 PM
"I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me"
-Philippians 4:13
Oh Darn.. Everyone in school who has two or more failing grades were called by the [OIC] principal two days ago.. And guess what? We have to join Remedial Classes the whole week next week from 5:15 to 7:30 PM after school... I never thought I'd be one of the students to have more than one failing grade... EVER! I used to always be part of the Top 10 in grade school... And now, I'm ranking 30 out of 39 in class!In first year, I had one failing grade during finals, but I had the comprehensive exam, which I think I passed.. Then second year, I failed one subject for first grading, but I got through alive at the end of the school year anywayss.. And now, let's see... I had two failing grades for first grading, 4 failing grades in second grading, and three failing grades for third grading.. I have to lower that to either two, one, or nothing or I'm out of Science High..
For this week, I've been sleeping late trying to do advanced reading and answering stuff in the book in advanced.. Then I end up getting sleepy in class [especially in the afternoon] and not listening to the teacher.
Anyway.. For the remedial classes, we get to choose what schedule to take and what subjects to take, i took Chemistry, Physics and Research since those are the subjects I'm currently failing, but I don't think i'll be staying awake for the rest of the week next week..
I try to wake up at 5:30 AM, get to school at 7, listen to teachers non stop until 5 PM, clean the classroom on monday, go to remedial classes at 5:15-7:30 PM, get home by 8, watch a little TV and eat dinner 'til 8:30, do my homework 'til 9:30, do advanced reading 'til 10, finish my chores until God knows when i'll finish everything and sleep at probably 11 PM which is NOT normal for me!
Now I'm starting to wonder if this is actually going to help.
I can't leave Science High, it's a really awesome school! I can get a MOA, sure, I can abide by a contract, but I have to make sure I get to pass every subject next school year, defend my Thesis which can't be a lame one like our I.P. this previous year and be more active! I went through the Circumcision of the Heart and I can't afford to have all that go to waste. I have to walk The Red Carpet fair and square. I promised my Angel that and I can't break that promise after having gone this far.
Urgh... Maybe Twinkle's right. Maybe I'm thinking too negatively. I can do this! I know I can! For me, for my Angel, and for everything I've been staying in the Science High for..! I'm going to walk on that Red Carpet, the real one. My feet are going to touch the soft surface of that carpet without feeling guilt or regret. I'm going to leave a legacy with my batch. I just know it. [=
The Red Carpet isn't just a rug. That thing is sacred to a lot of us. Screw that girl who stepped on it when I told her not to, she won't deserve to walk on it anyways. Forget that other girl who said it was just a rug. I believe what I believe and no one can do anything about that. [=

Nick Jonas Dog Tag ♫ 7:13 PM
OMG!! Guess what? It arrived!! :D[*rewind!!*]
Okay, so there was a contest in Nick's Diabetes Website... I wanted to join since the prize was to meet Nick Jonas and join him in his walk for the fight against diabetes. But the problem was that I had to be in the States to be able to join. So, there I was thinking there as no hope at all.. But no! A few weeks after that, I went back to the website and saw that they were selling
Dog Tags designed by Nick Jonas himself!There was one designed for people with diabetes and the other one was a non-diabetes dog tag which will simply be worn in order to show that you are one of the people who fight against diabetes. And once again, it was only offered to those who were in the States. So I emailed my mom saying I wanted an early birthday present and that if i get that, i won't ask for anything else on my birthday. And good news was that It was cheap! It only costs $5.00 and that's not much if you think about it... It's not like the people in States use the exact conversion of money.
Seriously, for us, $5.00 could be expensive, but to people in the states, it's not... [Especially if you compare it to what Charlo wanted as a birthday present! Dood, that was $140, my gift is $135 less than his! Lol] But anywayss... I asked my mom for it, and guess what?! It arrived 2 weeks after she ordered it... She waited 2 weeks again before she sent it over, and it took less than a week for it to arrive here! so in less than two months, I got it! You do NOT know how excited i was when i received it :D
My mom sent it with a birthday card... Inside the envelope was a birthday card and inside the birthday card... There it was... The dog tag taped on the blank side of the card with magic tape so that the stickiness wouldn't stick... Above the tag itself, was the chain... and on the lower left corner of the card was probably the card sent to her with the Dog Tag when she received it. It said:
Jonas Brothers' Change for the Children Foundation
Nick Jonas and Bayer Diabetes Care thank you for supporting Jonas Brothers' Change for the Children Foundation! Together, we can help people with diabetes, raise money to increase awareness, conduct research and find a cure. Please visit www.NicksSimpleWins.com to find out other ways you can get involved.
Sincerely,
Nick Jonas, in partnership with Bayer Diabetes Care
Yea, that's exactly what it said :p
From now on, i'll be wearing it all the time. Except when taking a bath, or when i know it'll get wet xD I'll even wear it to banquet! [prom] even on special occasions like weddings or old people's birthday parties :D to debuts... all the time! I just really love this Dog Tag! :D

Thanks for the Memories ♫ 10:02 PM
You'll never believe this, but guess what? Cecelia Ahern [my favorite author] has a new book entitled 'Thanks for the Memories' and it just came out here in the Philippines. I bought it last Saturday and started reading it last Sunday. Funny thing is this:
o1. My second name is Joyce.
o2. Remember Justin?
o3. Justin is an artist.
o4. He's clumsy, funny, tall, and good-looking.===========================
o1. The main character's name is Joyce Conway.
o2. The guy main character's name is Justin Hitchcock.
o3. Justin Hitchcock lectures about ART and architecture in a College.
o4. Justin is the clumsy, funny, tall and good-looking guy in the novel.
Weird? Coincidence? Is it a sign? You decide, 'cause I have no idea :p
It was even his birthday today... Y'know? Justin... Yesss... :p Some of my friends who are close to him gave him this cake with awesome blue icing and a smiley face. One of my friends baked it with her mom... I think... Lol
I didn't wanna eat any... 'Cause well, I didn't have a share if you know what i mean :p But yea, some people kept asking me if it was me who gave the cake.. And i said no.. But Socette [a girl from my class who's friends with him] kept saying:
Socette: You gave the cake, noh?
Chinky: No! It was Twinkle, Inna, and those other guys :D
Jasmin: Yea... Them... and You! :D
Chinky: No, I swear, I had nothing to do with it!
Socette: Look me in the eye and tell me you didn't give it!
Chinky: *Looks socette in the eye* I didn't give it....!
Socette: Ha! You're lying! you gave it!
Ugh! hahaha! :p But seriously, that cake looked really yummy :D it made everyone's mouth blue and when it was all gone, i wished my mouth was blue from the yummy-looking icing too :D

Awkward!! ♫ 3:27 PM
Okay, how do I start this off? Well... I was chatting with an old friend on YM... His name is Charlo... He was one of my friends back in elementary and surprisingly, he's the one who keeps in touch with me the most. Anywayss... I have no idea if i like this guy or not.. Hahah! Oh, wait, don't get the wrong idea... y'know? like as in like... not like as in crush like... :pWell, anyway, we were chatting on his birthday [February 13] and it sorta went like this:
Chinky: Oh! Happy birthday pala!
Charlo: Haha! Thanks
[Ok, then we start arguing about how his birthday was February 13 and not
12... And that He was older than me... And of course that he was a spoiled
rich kid since he got his dad to buy him $140 shoes... and it goes on for
about fifteen minutes...]
Charlo: Wanna see the shoes? They're really cool! Here's the URL
Chinky: Ok, fine, I'll look at them, but for wasting my time, you'll have to
give me a gift on my birthday! xD
Charlo: Ok, fine, i'll give you candy!
Chinky: Ugh! No! I want something i can keep!
Charlo: me
Chinky: What? Ew... please, no!
Charlo: I was joking you know...
[call me stupid, but I had no idea he was joking, so i made up this
lame excuse]
Chinky: I knew that! Eesh.. It's so hard to sound sarcastic when you're
typing!
Oh yea, awkward is right!
But surprisingly, that night was a night when I started to fall in love with Guy Shoes! xD hahahah! he showed me the shoes he asked for on his birthday and i told him they looked really cool. Then he ended up showing me a lot of other shoes... Most of them were unisex shoes, so i really got interested... I mean, it's rare for me to go crazy over shoes.. I know i'm a girl, but shoes aren't all that interesting in general. To be honest, i never cared about shoes, I only own about 2 pairs of sneakers, one pair of boots [that i don't even wear], school shoes and a pair of purple doll shoes that i only wore once out of necessity... But this, oh, this was different. These shoes changed my life!
So when you're walking with me in the mall and you catch me staring at shoes, believe me, don't be surprised if you see me staring at Nike Unkles or whatever they're called! :D

Caramel Frappe for Franceen! ♫ 4:40 AM
Okay... So this is how my Valentine's Day went... You see, I don't have a phone, and Sonya said we were going out today. So I asked my sister to text her and ask where and what time we're going to meet. And she said 9:30-10:00 AM at KFC.. 
So I did go there... Except I was 15 minutes late, but so what? People wait... At least that's what I thought... When I got there, no one was there at all. I tried going to that Korean store where we were planning on taking pictures, but they weren't there either. So I went back to KFC and waited for them there. I waited for a long time which to me, seemed like a half hour. [Well, I wouldn't know. I had no watch or phone...] I wanted to text, but I remembered i couldn't.
Then I decided to go home instead of standing there waiting for absolutely no one. But wait, I changed my mind. I thought "hey, it's valentine's day. I'm not just going to go home, watch TV and sit 'til I can't feel my butt." So I turned around and walked to SM. Yep. And this is where my day starts.I was walking in SM looking for a good movie to watch, I was alone, but who cares? And guess who I bumped into? An old friend of mine. You don't know his name, and I wouldn't want to mention his name, so let's just keep it like this.
Anywayss.. I had a lot of spare money, so I thought I'd treat him to a movie. It was his birthday recently and today was valentine's day, so i thought I'd be nice to him for a change. Haha! Yea, I was never really nice to him, but we're really good friends, i relate with him a lot. To be honest, I used to like him back in elementary, but i got over it :p
He said he didn't have much time to watch a movie, so I offered to buy him Starbucks instead. Ohh yess, the wonderful taste of Caramel Frappe in your mouth would just be delightful on a day you were ditched by your friends. [= Haha! kidding.. I bet they had their reasons anywayss... :p
Well, after I bought us caramel frappe's, he had to leave, so by then, I didn't have enough money for a movie, so I just went home, too.If your Valentine's Day isn't going as well as you planned, then do something for yourself, you might bump into a little bit of cheering up ;]
I mean, look at me, I was about to go home, but I decided to do something for myself, then I ran into an old friend and had fun today. And all because my friends didn't show up! hahah! xD
Oh gosh, here I am writing my blog. I forgot I had internet class at 1:00... Ugh! Nevermind.. I never really ever went to internet class anywayss... We barely do anything. :p
Happy Valentines Day guys! Enjoy your day and maybe you'll end up having a Starbucks beverage as your Valentine [=

Friday the 13th Before the Day of Hearts ♫ 10:34 PM
A not so ordinary Valentine's Day at school.. I thought I wouldn't get anything today since Emman gave me the bracelet last wednesday. But I was so wrong... Today, he had our classmate deliver 3 roses to me... A red one, a pink one, and a white one...And the funny part was this: Sonya received a bunch of stuff from this guy who really likes her. One of those things was a balloon. A big white balloon with three heart balloons inside. One was red, the other was white then pink. So me, Angeli, and Jae-a [korean] started teasing her and made up these crazy things. So.. It sorta went like this:
chinky: aaaaaww!!! Three balloons! I think that
means "I Love You!"
jae-a: Hahahah! And one means "You're the only one!"
angeli: So what does that mean?
all three: "I love you! You're the only
one!" *laughs*
sonya: Shut up!
chinky: What about the colors? let's see...
jae-a: Red means love!
chinky: white means purity! Put them together and
it's pink...Also pure love!
all three: *laughs*
jae-a: Chinky, you're good at making these things up!
Funny huh? but wait! That's not the funny part. This is really ironic, 'cause I made it up and my friends used it against me when i received the roses.
jae-a: Three means I love you!!!
sonya: aaaaaww...and it's red, white and pink!!
jae-a: love and purity equals pure love!!
ugh! i hate it when my words are used against me!! hahahah! xD

Oh, the Yearly Dilemma.... ♫ 8:22 PM
So, basically, to day is the day and evil man married my mother, and as always, I have no idea if I should greet them or what...
Yup, you guessed it, that evil man is my dad. I hate my dad, I mean, I love him in a he's-my-dad-and-i-kinda-HAVE-to-love-him kind of way, but yea, basically I hate him 50.50...
Anywayss...Ever since they split up when I was 9, I don't think I ever bothered, but ever since I got to high school, I have no idea, but I just started to wonder a lot, really...
Last year, I think I greeted my mom... But she didn't reply... She's in the States, you see. It's really complicated.
And well, I don't think I would want to greet my dad at all. Whenever we mention our mom when he's around, he either gets into a bad mood or pretends he doesn't hear anything. Then when we talk to him about our mom or anything like that, he always makes it seem like our mom is the bad person. He makes it seem like... I don't know... He just really seems to ahte it when we mention our mom. Then after a few minutes of talking about her, he gives us a sermon like "We're never gonna get back together..." or "you have to learn that your mom isn't the only one i can be with" [he said that when his girlfriend came up in the topic]
Anywayss... I really don't know if I should or not. I don't know about my siblings, but I don't think I will this year. [=
Problem solved!! hahah! :D

Oh Dear ♫ 10:40 PM
Just like last year, this guy gave me a present for Valentine's Day. He's this guy from my class, his name is Emman. Ugh, he's nice and all, but I wish I could tell him straight forward that he's just not my kind of guy. He knows I don't like him and he knew that I liked Justin before, so why does he bother? :pAnywayss, he's had a crush on me since sophomore year and it's driving me nuts. Last year, he gave me this huge teddy bear. This year, [today] well, he kinda did something different... This is how it sorta went...
Sonya: [[Covered my eyes]]
Chinky: [[Doing geometry seatwork with my
groupmates]] Ugh! Noo!! Not now, please? Not now!
I'm busy!
Emman: [[Suddenly grabs my hand with his
cold ones]] Chinky, I know it's way too early for this,
but here. Happy Valentine's Day [[Puts awfully loose
bracelet on my wrist.]]
Sonya: [[Removes her hands from my eyes]]
Chinky: Thank You... [[Says it reeaallyy soft]]
Sonya: Say thank you!!
Chinky: Urgh... [[Says it louder]] Thank you..!
Ugh! seriously! He could've gotten me chocolates! :p
Anywayss.. Now that I think about it, I kind of appreciate that someone actually likes me. It makes me feel loved, if you get what I mean, I mean yea, I've had a couple of guys like be in the past, but not like how Emman does right now. Emman actually cares. It makes me feel special when he treats me like that, but it makes me feel really bad when all I do to him is... well... nothing...
I just want to tell him straight forward that I don't feel the same and that I never probably will. I don't want him to keep having these weird feelings for me when I know that all he's going to be is hurt.
But hey :D it's his choice :p Hw knows i don't like him, so maybe i'll just let him be. I don't wanna take his happiness away xD
By the way, for our Banquet [prom], I'm gonna ask him to dance with me. Yep.. It was my friend's dare. She dared me to either dance with Emman or Justin. Well, I don't want to dance with Justin, it'll make me feel weird after I told him I liked him. We used to be really close, but after I told him, things have been weird between us. At least Emman, I can still talk to him. Unlike Justin, I can't even look at him straight. He doesn't even know I don't like him anymore. :p

Life improving? ♫ 9:37 PM
Oh yess! I've been making my own original quote banners lately [= and lately, I've been loving them [=Anywayss...there's a sample and you can see more of that by click on the picture... :D it's linked to the album... There isn't much yet, but I'm gonna be making more soon...
But heyy, that's not what I'm here to talk about.. I wanted to talk about my grades.. They're bad, I know, but guess what? Lately, I haven't been having a hard time in school. Surprised? You better be. 'Cause today, I actually loved Chemistry! I know, right? Ha ha! :D And last friday, for physics, I actually solved a problem on my own! Can you believe it? If you knew how hard up I was in those subjects, then you'd understand how I felt.. Hahah! :D
And my algebra! oh, my algebra :D My grade for algebra used to be 84 [which in our school, is failing] I have no idea why, i totally love algebra, but hey, what happens happens :D But guess what? from a grade of 84, I actually got a 91 this grading! I know it isn't much to rejoice about, but you guys have no idea how happy i am!
But it isn't only my grades that are improving :D Because you'll never guess :D
I'm over him!!!
yeaa.. hahah! if you don't know who, then you might wanna check my previous blogs... [= But I'm happy for myself :D I won't have to watch myself hurt and fall ever again. I'm not interested in anyone at the moment, and I can tell it's going to stay like that for a while. [=
Aaaannd, what else? Oh, remember what I said before? [if you don't nevermind..I think i deleted that post] Well, basically, it was about my best friend not telling me things. Now, she practically tells me everything [= well, at least i think so, but it doesn't seem like she's hiding things from me anymore. Which is actually good.
And my dad broke up with his girlfriend, which for me is a wonderful thing. I just hate the fact that my dad was miserable for like a week after they broke up, but he's fine now, which makes me feel no guilt at all... :D
And that's practically it, i think life from now will be easier, I started to think more positively, I started to pray more often, I started to work harder, and it's all paying off [= It's all working out well and me life has just started to take it easy on me.. [=
