98% Fat Free ;]

2010-05-10T16:02:00.003+08:00

All the times that we may fall an stumble...

NOW PLAYING: I Dare You To Move by Switchfoot

So today, I went out for guitar lessons. When I got there my teacher wasn't there yet, so I went to White Hat to get something to eat. I was thinking Starbucks, but I realized I'd spent so much this week only for Starbucks, so I resisted the temptation and went to White Hat instead. :))

I didn't really have money, so I got the regular size with only one topping. [: KIWI = LOVE. Hahah! :P

And their cups sorta changed since the last time I went there. :D And it finally said "98% Fat Free".

HA!! Now I can show it to my dad's face! Bahahahah!! [:< Coz he would't believe me the first time I told him it was fat free. T~T

Anywayss, when I went back to Musar to check if my teacher was there, he'd just arrived and we just missed 30 minutes of our lesson. >_< So yea, I'm going back tomorrow morning to make up for it. [: I hope Mama Beth doesn't mind moving our lunch to late lunch. :P

So yea, nothing much happened today. [:

And since I'm very bored...

FORMSPRING MEEE!!! [:
I'll love you forever if you flooded me. 8D

Hahah! Oh, and in case you read Gakuen Alice Fanfiction, I've made 2 oneshots already. [: Colors Fade to Gray and Paint My Love. [:

Paint My Love is a TsubasaMikan oneshot... Just warning you, coz some people don't like that pairing. [:

Anwyayss, that's it for today, loves. :D Ciao~

...the rock that we stand on won't crumble.

We've been in a hard road walking...

NOW PLAYING: Maybe by Secondhand Serenade

WEEEEE~ We made pancakes today! :D And we ate it our way. ;] Hahah! :))

Coz ever since we were little kids, my siblings and I never usually used syrup or butter or anything on our pancakes. :D Whenever we made pancakes, we'd leave a cup of the batter and use it as pancake dip. P:

Hahah! Yea, yea.. We know it has raw eggs in it, but it's good. Hahah! :D You guys should try. xD

Anywayss, nothing much to blog about today, so I scanned the scrapbook my Soul gave me during Red Carpet. [':

Cover page & first page. :D I didn't really scan all the pages, so yea. :P

Hahah! The one on the left, it's like, she asked me for a bunch of pictures of myself. If I knew she was going to do this, I would've given better ones. :P

For the one on the right, I got too lazy to open up all the letters and scan them one by one. >_<

Hahahahah!! OH, SOUL! :)) The one on the left made me laugh a lot. I mean, I didn't find it that funny, but I just laughed a lot. :P

Okay, so for the one on the right, I opened up and scanned the two letters. [: The big ones that say "From II-Eco" and "From: Beloved Batchmates" :P Here's what my Soul asked everyone to do:

On the left is from my advisory class. [: And on the right, from my batchmates. :D

And if you open up that green paper:

I LOVE YOU, TOO, SOUL!! ♥

And again, if you want to see the pictures better, you can right click and view image or if you want it in a new tab, just simply drag it to a new tab. [:

Though there are big walls blocking...

NOW PLAYING: Over You by Chris Daughtry

Right click and view image to see it bigger. :P Or just drag it to a new tab. :D

Heeee~ It's just a little something I did yesterday when I was bored. [: That's another notebook mommy gave. :D It's huge and it's earth friendly. Hahah! :P

I used the colored pencils from the leather notebook thingy for the colors, and Grene [ my fountain pen ] for writing the stuff. :D

Those are the lyrics to our batch song by the way. :D It's also written in the Sfidato part of my blog, you can find it in the navigation pane. [:

Anwyayss, I had my guitar lessons today. :D My teacher's awesome. [: He's really nice and funny. [:

After my guitar lessons, I went around SM with Hanna after meeting her at Starbucks. :D

Chocolate cream chip frappe. :D Hahah! :)) Gosh, I've had a million drinks from Starbucks this week. [:

Anywayss, we were supposed to watch Bounty Hunter, but frickin' Iron Man hogged two out of four frickin' cinemas. >_< One was showing a filipino film, and the other one showed something else. Bounty Hunter, nowhere to be found. ]: But we saw near the entrance of SM that Bounty Hunter was showing today, so we asked if it was showing, and they said it only showed at night. ]:

That's no fair. T~T

Anywayss... Yea, I think that's it. :P We got home and watched Charmed. Hahah! :P We're only in season 3. >_< We're about to start season 4. :D

Which means Prue died already. :/ And Paige showed up. So yea. [:

So yea, that's it for today. :D

...nothing could stop this feeling.

2010-05-05T20:05:00.007+08:00

Those who make the worst use of their time...

Finally finished enrollment today!! Hahah! And once again I treat myself to Starbucks. ^^

Weee~ Whole wheat croissant again. [: And a Chocolate Cream Chip Frappuccino. [:

Today, I brought my leather sketchpad... Well, I don't know what it's really called, but I'll call it that. :D It's this thing mommy sent me form the states. It's this leather thingy that you can open up, and there's a whole set of colored pencils, a pencil, sharpener and a sketchpad. [:

It's really cool and handy. [: I can just go anywhere with it and when inspiration hits me, I can doodle without having any trouble with what I'm going to use coz it's all in there. [:

Heeee~ ^w^ I shall call her Aimee. :3

And that shall be my schedule for the first semester. :D Hahah! I can so get used to 4 days of school in a week. [:

So yea.. Out of 6 classes, I have 4 with Vergel, and so far, he's the only batchmate I know I'm going to be classmates with. :/

Oh, I don't think I've told you yet. :D I'm taking up BA Communication in UP Baguio. :D

Anywayss, I think that's all for now. :P I'm starting guitar lessons on May 8.. Weeee~ :3 Yay me. :D

**Nyeh~ If you can't see the pictures, just right click and view picture or something. Hahah! :P**

...are the first to complain of its shortness.

People say you cannot live without love...

I went to enroll at UP today. :D Well, at least i tried. Hahah! :P I mean, I was half way through, then they kept insisting I submit an ITR even if I told them my dad said not to anymore. >_< So yea, I had to come home, and I need to go back tomorrow. So not cool. ]:

I'm still a little sick, I keep sweating from the heat, but I'm feeling really cold that I even had to wear a jacket today. ]: And my head still hurts, I can't sit and stand too quickly coz I feel like I'm going to collapse. I'm glad I ran into Vergel, coz in case I did collapse, someone who knew me would be around. :P

Anywayss, went to UP, saw Vergel, filled up these form thingies, then they had to go for lunch break, so we had to go back at around 1:00. So yea, Vergel and I went to SM and we went our separate ways from there.

I enrolled for guitar lessons in Musar, then went to National Bookstore and finally found the book I've wanted to get for months. :D

The Book of Tomorrow by Cecelia Ahern. [: She's one of my favorite authors. [: Every time I start reading any of her books, no matter how many times I've read it, I can never seem to put it down. [:

So yea.. Bought the book, then went to Starbucks to get a little something to fill my stomach.

Yumm.. P: My usual caramel cream frappe and a whole grain croissant. [: I may love Starbucks a LOT, but I hate coffee. :))

Anywayss, after that I got a text from Vergel, so we walked back to UP together. :)) Coincidence, OK? I didn't have load to reply to him, I just happened to run into him as I walked out of Starbucks. :P

Then yea, we continued our enrollment. I started feel even sicker when we got there, I felt wayy colder than I did this morning, but I was still sweating from the heat like everybody else. ]: I'm telling you, it's no fun sweating when you're feeling cold. T~T

Then yea, I saw Vergel made a lot of friends already. Hahah! And he kept telling me to talk to people. But I just couldn't. :P It's not me to be the first to talk when making friends in person. Hahah! :P

Anywayss, then yea. We got to the part of the enrollment where we had to give the ITR thingies. But then I didn't ahve one, coz my dad said it doesn't matter coz, well, let's just say I'm in no need of financial assistance. :P

So yea. But they kept insisting I gave one. So they sent me home to get my dad's ITR and go back tomorrow to submit it. I got so annoyed with them. I kept telling them that my dad said this and that, and that the requirements said that it's ok if we didn't give the ITR. But whatev. >_<

So I had to leave. But before going home, I went to Cid to buy a fountain pen. :D

Yipee!! I finally have one! :D [Those things are darn expensive. O.O]

So yea. I got the cheaper ones [the smaller ones. >_<] That, by the annoying way, cost 275 Pesos! >_< Buuut, I'm really happy. :D

Coz fountain pens are LOOOOVE. [:

Anywayss, yea. :D I'm glad they had designs and everything. :P Coz it matches my new phone strap!! Hahah! :P

Aaaand, that's all that happened today I guess. :P I hope my head ache magically vanishes by tomorrow morning. >_< I can't afford to go out of the house again without being able to walk straight. ]:

So yea.. Gonna sleep early again, try to get a good rest, maybe it'll help my poor head. ]: Good nighters.

...well, I say oxygen is more important. ;]

Spinning @_@

2010-05-02T22:14:00.000+08:00

I love hugging...

Otayy... So I'm going to make this quick coz my head is about to explode. T~T

I watched Charmed with my sister again today, and then I decided to take a break from staring at the TV and took a quick shower. When I got out, I started to feel really cold, my head hurt a bit, and you know that feeling when you're sick and the air you breathe is really hot? Well, I felt that.

So we continued watching Charmed and I couldn't stand the cold, so I brought my blanket down from my room and drank a lot of hot water. I even asked my sister if she felt the least bit cold and she said no. ]:

For dinner, we planned on making pizza and garlic bread [ all homemade ;] ]. But since I was too busy feeling cold and dizzy, I stayed in the family room and watched Fairly Odd Parents while Hanna and Kuya made the pizza.

I fell asleep after a while and heard Tita Chie come. She came for the Noynoy ballers our dad kept by the door. Hahah! Funny story. Coz Tita Chie is a Noynoy supporter, and Mama Beth [grandmother form our dad's side] is a Gibo supporter.

And Tita Chie said that when she went to work one time with a Noynoy baller, Mama Beth brought out five Gibo ballers and wore them all at once. :))

So yea, since daddy's a Noynoy supporter too, Tita Chie came to pick up a whole pack of the yellow ballers so she could annoy Mama Beth tomorrow. Hahah!

Coz that's how our family is. [:

Anywayss, I've only eaten one slice of pizza and one roll of garlic bread and I've already lost my appetite as if I even had one in the first place. ]: That's so not like me. T~T

Anywayss, my head is killing me, so I'm going to bed early. Good night. >:D<

...I wish I was an octopus so I can hug a billion people at a time. [:

Back to Blogging

2010-05-01T23:09:00.003+08:00

Only one thing makes a dream impossible...

Okay, so I'm officially back to blogging. So on days that I can't find time to blog, I'm going to put up a photo blog which will make things easier. [:

Well, I don't know what a photo blog is to you, but for what I'm going to be doing for that is put up a photo or two [maybe three] of what I did for the day, and just put captions on them saying what I've done for the day.

But whatever, I don't need to tell you this. :P

So yea, today was great. [: We practically stayed home, but awesome things happened. [:

Right now, we're alone at home. I mean, just us four siblings and our dad. Step mom and step siblings and half sister are away 'til Monday night and to be honest, that's one of the smallest things that make us real happy.

So we watched Charmed all day. It's an old TV series we loved watching with our mom when we were younger. Hanna and I bought the complete series last Wednesday and we've been watching it since then. :P We even stayed up 'til 6 AM once coz of that. :))

Anywayss, we were watching Charmed and then my brother remembered the Auntie Anne's Pretzel recipe [ and ingredients ] our mom gave us when she visited. :D So we baked Pretzels! :D Not just any kind of pretzels... Homemade Auntie Anne's Pretzels! :D

FJL is our initials. [: I don't know why, but it's sort of like our sibling pride. Hahah! :P Our old car's plate number used to be FJL 888. So yea. :)) But when we got older, the car started to get too small for us, so we sold it. Surprisingly, the car is still here in Baguio, I still see it every once in a while. [:

Theeeeen, we were starting to worry about what to cook for dinner, we could barely find anything in the kitchen, so we were relieved when our dad said he was getting take out from 50's Diner. :D

[ I LOVE THEIR GIANT BURGERS! :D ]

We love that place. Our dad is sort of friends with the owner, so we've been going to that restaurant, since we were kids. [: But the place has changed a lot since then. It's in a different area now, and the don't have waitresses in skates anymore, no more shakes with the tiny little umbrella thingies, and no more seats by the counter. :P

But the place is still awesome, the food on their menu are still named after stuff from the 50's, and they haven't gotten rid of the Elvis Presley and Marilyn Monroe portraits. :D So that's a good thing, at least they still have that 50's atmosphere. :P

And when our dad got home, we was carrying a box... a huge box. Now we all know what the means. :D

Stuff from mommy! ^w^ We get really excited when she sends us stuff, coz she always gives us cool stuff that we could never find in the Philippines. [: [ After all, she did give us the Auntie Anne's Pretzel mix. ;] ]

So yea, awesome stay-home day. :D

Sorry for the bad quality pictures. >_< My camera was low-batt so I had to use my phone. :D OH OH OH!! I got a new phone by the way! Hahah! :P It's a Cherry Mobile X90. :D Dual Sim, touch screen, MP3 player, flippy phone kinda thing. :D

Yea, I know... I hate that it's so pink and girly. ]: But whatever, it was on discount, and I had graduation money. Hahah! :P

Anywayss, I'm off. :D Gonna watch Charmed. xD

...fear of failure.

Banquet 2010

2010-04-01T12:02:00.004+08:00

"The night won't wait for us to stay awake...

Banquet came once again. :D And this year, I was finally able to have the dress I designed for last year. [: Thanks to my tita who helped me go look for a place to have it made, my mom who provided the money, and of course Jovanie's [Cabz's tayloring shop] the awesome place that helped put my dress together. :D

Anywayss.. So first thing I did that day was go to SM and have my hair done. Gosh, first, I didn't like how they curled my hair, I went home with SHAME written all over my face. So when I got home, I started pulling the curls down so that they'd loosen up a bit. And they did. I'm glad they did.

After that, I ate lunch, then locked myself in my room so I could get ready. I put my dress on, wore a headband, then put on my make-up. Yea, I felt the need to put my own make-up. Hahah! :P I didn't want to let the people in the salon do it coz they might end up making me look like a clown. D: Trust me, I hate make-up. :P [That's why I didn't wear any last year. But this was gonna be our last, so I just did whatever I had to do. :P]

So yea. :D After putting on my make-up, I put on my shoes, then my dad brought me to Sonya's house where we would meet up. And by we, I mean me, Sonya and Nicki. We don't completely know why, but we get really scared when the three of us are alone together. Hahah! :P

Anywayss.. I went there and watched a movie with Sonya while waiting for Nicki. It was a weird movie. Hahah! :P

After a while, Nicki arrived, and Sonya's mom and tito brought us to Country Club. [: Which reminds me, that place was really expensive, so I'm glad the Juniors were the ones who paid for everything. Hahah! :P But Country Club is an awesome place. [: I loved that place since I was really little. [:

Okay, so when we arrived, a lot of people were already there. Which, for some weird reason, reminded me of last year when we were the first ones there. :P

We started taking pictures with everyone, then we headed inside. [: We went back outside a couple of times, then stayed put inside after going around the place.

Makes us look like we're under Marilyn Monroe's skirt, don't you think? Hahah! :P

Then finally, it started. [: Dancing, dancing, dancing. Then DINNER. :D My second favorite part during that event. ^^ You'll find out the first later on. ;]

I kept going back for food, I think I got the most plates at our table. Hahah! :P It was a buffet, so we could more or less get as much as wanted to. :P

Anywayss, my first dance was with Ayel. Hahahah! I know, I know. :P She's a girl, but we got so bored, we ended up dancing... to a slow song, even. Hahah! :P

But my first real dance, was with Emman... again. Don't you guys just find it unfair, how he's always my first dance, and I'm never his first. :/

Anywayss.. after dancing with Emman, a bunch of guys came up to our table asking everyone to dance. But as Nicole [the last person left with me] left to dance too, "Ohh!! Okay! Sure!" Hahah! Although I was just kidding, Adg. Dan came to me and asked me to dance. So yea. Hahah! :P

Dancing with Adg. Dan was weird though. We talked a little, but everytime we looked at each other, we'd nod*. Hahah! :))

[ *It's a thing we have in school. To show respect, we all nod at each other. [: ]

After him was Ino. [: Hahah! Since Ino's shorter than me–and even way shorter coz I was in heels–I asked him to stand on the first step of the stage so that it wouldn't feel weird. Hahah! :D

Okay, so for my favorite part of the night. ^^

That time, I haven't danced with a guy for like a half hour, all the dancing I've done was dancing to Patron Tequila [and a bunch of other songs] with my friends and the whole batch. [:

Then a slow song came up. And for about a minute, I was telling my friends that I wanted to dance with Bruce. [: So they kept telling me to just go and ask him. So I was about to get up, walk to his table and ask him, but before I could even stand, someone tapped me from behind and asked if we could dance. When I looked behind me, it was Bruce. Hahah! :D

But we only danced for a while coz the song was nearing its end when we started to dance. After the song, he told me not to go yet coz the time we danced was too short. Hahah! But the next song didn't come soon enough, so I just went back. [: I just thought it was really sweet, that's all. [:

After him was Xavier. :P When Xavier and I were dancing, we started talking about love life and everything. Then the topic moved to Sonya. Hahah! Then Xavier started saying these things that made me want to laugh and hit him at the same time. :P

After dancing with Xavier, I rested at our table for a while coz my feet started to hurt. [Not from dancing, but because of the darn heels. D:] So I took my shoes off for the rest of the night. :P

Then I danced with Sato whom I arranged to dance with after he got back from the restroom. :D Sato's not the kind of sweet guy you can slow dance with without any awkward atmosphere. So we started to dance the stuff we learned in PE. Mostly Swing. Hahah! :P It was really fun even though he kept spinning me. :D

After Sato, I danced for a short while with Aaron Nidoy. [: And being his normal self, he started teasing me, then brought me to Emman. So I danced with Emman a second time. [Hold on, don't get so excited, coz I'm gonna dance with him a third time later on. Hahah! :P]

Then I danced with Jayvee. :D If I'm guessing it right, I think he wore the same suit as last year. Coz it felt the same when my arms were around him. :P

[ OK, since I don't like Kuro Neko anymore, I'm gonna tell you who he is. :D The next person I dance with. [: ]

While dancing with Jayvee, Ricco asked him if he could interfere. So Jayvee told him to go ahead. So I danced with him. It was weird, but I bet it wasn't as awkward as it would be if I still liked him. I think he thinks I still like him though. Hahah! :P

After Ricco was DN. Then Arcel, but only for like 2 seconds coz the night was ending and I told him I wanted to dance with Cabz, so he started saying stuff like why was I dancing with him if I wanted to dance with Cabz, and that I should go ahead and dance with him. So yea. :P

Then, I saw Cabz dancing with Janine, so I decided to wait for them to finish. Then Emman saw me not dancing with anyone, so, again, he comes to me and we dance for the last time. I told him I was waiting for Cabz. So he brought me closer to Cabz. I told Emman that I didn't like him anymore, but he kept telling me that I just had to dance with him. But I told him nevermind, and just finished our dance.

Then the last song came, and I danced with Kryle. [: I realized the last song was ending and that I'd never get another chance, so I told Kryle that I'd dance with Cabz. [: So he told me to go, then I walked up to them and asked Liezl if I could cut in. So yea. [: I danced with him for like 30 seconds to You and Me by Lifehouse.

[ Gosh, I didn't even notice what song was playing when I danced with my crush earlier. ]: ]

We talked a bit, he asked if my dress was from their shop. I said yea. Hahah! Then we were kinda quiet. I congratulated him coz he graduated ahead of us. And he congratulated me too coz we were graduating and walking the Red Carpet in 2 days.

So yea. After the last song, we had the awarding. [Oh, and we had the turn over for ministers earlier too.] Then it finished at around 10:15 or some time close to that. Ma'am Dep didn't allow us to have it 'til midnight so we started early.

After that, some of us went to Alberto's for the after party. The music, the drinking [ don't worry, I only drank Cali ] and everything.

Then my dad picked me up at around 1 AM. I slept with my curls. Hahah! :P I was too lazy to straighten my hair out, so I did it in the morning instead. [:

[Sorry (again) for the freakishly long post. Hahah! :P]

Nostalgia

2010-03-28T18:55:00.004+08:00

You're 15 years old and you think you have all the time in the world...

Gosh, I haven't blogged in a while. :P But I've posted some Journal Entries on deviantART, so if you're interested in knowing what was going on with me while I haven't been posting here, then feel free to check it out. :) [Right here.]

Anywayss, I've managed to put up a navigation bar here on my blog, but it's been messed up ever since I put it there. You can click on them and be redirected, but you won't be able to click on them more than once. I've yet to figure that out, whoever can help me, please feel free to do so. Hahah! :P

But for the mean time please deal with it. Hahah! :D You may reload the page if you want to see the other parts. :P

Well, more or less my blog's pretty much messed up, so... whatever. :P

So yea, while I was away, I've joined different sites. Like Tumblr, FormSpring and deviantART. I don't go on Tumblr much though. :P

Anywayss... We're almost at the end of the line of our high school life, so we had our Handog. :) Handog is this activity in school where the seniors give a tribute to the whole school before they leave. When we were freshmen, the Handog was awesome. :) For sophomore year, they seniors didn't have one. Last year, no offense, but their Handog sucked. :/

So yea, we showed the lower years how our life was from the previous years. Like when we were freshmen, we were all innocent, we had no idea about the school's culture and everything, and we didn't know everybody yet. We weren't very close to each other. We also showed that my section [Technologists] used to fight a lot with other sections. Hahah! But yea, even if that's true, no doubt, we were the awesome section. xD

For second year, we hardly presented anything. They just said that whenever we ahd problems, we'd jam. :) Which is true. There isn't a day when no one has a guitar. :)

For junior year, they showed how we started being united through YDT. :)

Handog made me really nostalgic. :( I'm gonna miss high school so much. :(

Then yea. We presented a slide show for the teachers. Then for our Souls, the Freshmen. :) We gave them these bottles with messages and stuff inside. :) We sang our batch song [which I'm going to post after I get to record it ^^] to the lower years. And my soul wouldn't stop telling me how much she's miss me and everything. She started crying which pulled me to tears too. :( I'm gonna miss her so much. That's why I made her a really long letter yesterday. I even used coffee paper and everything. :(

By the way, I can't believe we had to have our Handog in the car park. Hahahah! :P We couldn't find a good venue. All the other places were fully booked, so we had no choice but to use the underground parking space. :)) But we managed to make it look presentable. :P We just had to give the adings newspapers to sit on so their butts don't get dusty. :P

The picture on the right was the first performance. :P They presented that during Survival Camp too. :P Hahah! Cute little men. xD

Anywayss.. That's what happened last Thursday.

On Friday, we went to school for a while so we could have our group pictures for the yearbook, then we got some pictures from the school's computer for the yearbook as well. :P And then I read Donna's valedictorian speech and watched her practice.

(Donna practicing her speech)

Then we went to a place with Nicole, where we met Colonel Ver. He isn't from Baguio, so we took his son to places. :D

(That was on Colonel Ver's wall. I just couldn't stop looking at it. Hahah! xD)

First, we were supposed to go wall climbing. But when we went there, we found out that the place closed down a long time ago, so he brought us to Burnham Park and left us there. We rode bump cars first, then met Aeron and Vernon. Then rode bump cars a second time. xD

After that, we were supposed to go roller blading, but Vernon and Aeron said they didn't know how to skate. > . < So we went biking instead.

Problem: Sonya and I can't ride bikes. Hahahah! If you read my post from before it shows a video of Nicki teaching me and Sonya how to ride a bike. But we sorta failed. :P But last Friday, we really learned. xD I just need to practice how to turn. :P

Although I would've preferred roller blading. It would've been fun watching the boys learn how to skate. Hahahah! xD

(I think we were walking to the boat place. :P)

After that we went boating. :) Oh gosh, the dirty water. Hahahah! :P Vernon and Aeron had to go home, so it was the three of us and JC. [By the way, JC is the kid we took to places. :)]

Sonya was having a really bad day, but after we went boating, I was pretty sure we made her feel better even just for a while. :)

While we were boating, it's like every time the water would splash us, we'd get all panicky and all. Hahahah! :P Coz it's so green and old and dirty. :P And Sonya would make these really weird noises when she'd row the boat and everything. :))

So yea, it was cool. :P There were these vendors going around the lake with their boats, so JC treated us to ice cream. :D TWIN POPSIES! :D I haven't eaten one of those for a really really long time. :)

Here's a video of the boating. :D It's really short though. I had a really stupid moment. I was recording the really stupid things Sonya and Nicki were saying, but then I realized it wasn't even recording yet. Hahahah! :P So yea, I only got this short moment. :P Then I wanted to row the boat, so we had to switch, but Sonya was too scared to move, so I had to turn the camera off. :P

Hahahah! Then after that, we went to Quantum. :) We won like...

209 awesome tickets! :D

Hahah! Yea, but we ended up letting JC keep the receipt thingy coz we didn't know what to get with the tickets. I mean, who knew 209 tickets could only get you marbles, erasers and all those other loser-ish stuff. :P

After all that, Sonya had to go home, but the three of us [Nicki, JC and me] stayed at SM to eat the The Old Spaghetti House. :) The food was really good. :)

(Yea, yea. I look weird in the picture. Hahahah! That's my bad angle. :P)

Anywayss... Yea.. I got home at around quarter to 9, but I really enjoyed today. ^^

So yea. That's it for now. :) Gonna play Band Hero [oh, yea, we got Band Hero for the Wii last month xD] then sleep early so I can go out early tomorrow to get my hair ready for Banquet. :)

Just my hair. :) I'm gonna do my own make up. I'm afraid strangers would make it too thick. :)

Then I'm gonna be the first one there! :D

The juniors planned for it to be in Country Club. Can you imagine? That place costs millions. O.O Well, not really, but you know what I mean. It's really expensive there. But my cousin [who's a junior now] told me that we deserve it coz we gave them an awesome year. ^^ That really touched me. ^^

Anywayss, yea. Ciao. :D

...but you don't. None of us do.

What's up? [:

What's with Science nowadays? Everyone's quick to believe in it. In all these new scientific discoveries, new pills for this, new pills for that. Get thinner, grow hair, yada, yada, yada. But when it requires a little faith in something, you all go crazy.

Okay, before I start chattering about endless stuff, I'd like to apologize about not updating so much anymore. [: This time I'm not going to say "it's because I'm busy with a lot of things like school..." bla bla bla. :P

I haven't been blogging a lot recently because I've been caught up with other things... like deviantART, Odin Sphere and Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days. But those are just a few out of billions of things. :P

Okay, now to start off, I have a billion things that I'd like to blog about, but since Christmas break is over and school starts tomorrow [whoo.... Yay... (Sarcastic) 9_9], I don't have a lot of time to do that, so I'm going to put a list right here. A list of things I need to blog about in my future free time or else the world will come to an end. [:

List of Things I Have to Blog About During My Future Free Time or Else the World Will Come to an End:

o1. Sfidato LitMus '09
o2. Sfidato Christmas Party
o3. Cantata & Batch Dinner
o4. Christmas
o5. New Year

Okay... That's the list, now all you have to do is come back here anytime to check up on updates. :P

So what was I saying? I've been caught up with several things... One of those is deviantART. [: Yea, I've mentioned it in my previous entry, but I just want to say it once more coz you probably didn't see it there judging by how long my last post was. :P

So I've been uploading my photography on DA. [: I've been taking lots of pictures for around two years now and not so surprisingly, I've only started uploading them on DA recently. [: So you can take a look at my photos on DA if you're interested, or if you're looking for something to do while you're bored. :P

Clickyy Here 8D

I have new photos up, and if you look at the previous entries, you'll see some pictures that I've taken from last year or even long before that. [:

Have a DA account? Let's be friends! :D

Hmm... Since I still have a little spare time, I guess I can scratch something off the list. I pick New Year coz it's the shortest. :P

List of Things I Have to Blog About During My Future Free Time or Else the World Will Come to an End:

~~o5. New Year~~

There you go. Hahah! :D

Okay... So for New Year, our dad planned for us to go to Batangas. But it came with no surprise that they [daddy's live-in girlfriend and her kids] would be coming along with us. > . <

So, knowing me and how much I hate them, I decide not to go. So do my brother and little sister. And later on, on the day they were all about to leave, my dad comes up to us and tells us that we can still change our minds about not going. My brother and I were sure that we weren't going, but Hanna starts getting second thoughts.

Minutes later, she decides to go. I don't know why, but she just did.

I really felt bad about the whole thing. I mean, sure it was her choice if she wanted to go or not, I understand that, but... You know the feeling when you've been abandoned by someone you completely trusted?

Weird comparison, but say I trusted her to hold a gun to my head. But she's my sister and she had 101% of my trust. Then they're on the other side convincing her to pull the trigger. And, well, since I trust her, I had absolutely nothing to worry about. And then at the last minute, just as I thought she was about to put the gun down, she pulls the trigger.

I mean, I'm not mad at my sister or anything, I have no right to be. But I'm just really really disappointed. > . <

So it was just me and my brother [and Ate Alona, but she spent New Year in daddy's girlfriend's mother's house] left.

I ended up crying for about a half hour, I don't know why though. > . < It was probably just the thought that made me feel like my dad was really selfish. > . <

So anyway, the day they left was Dec. 31. So that was New Year's eve. My brother and I went to our Aunt and Cousin's house [mommy's side of the family], brought them some of my brother's homemade bread, ate dinner with them and went to Church with them. After that, at around 9 PM, they brought us to our other Aunt's house [daddy's side] and that's where we spent the rest of the night. We had a bonfire, fireworks and had fun with our little cousins. [Sorry, I forgot my camera so... no pictures. ]: ]

We spent the night there then went back home the next day. And up until today, we were just stuck at home taking sips from cans of Barq's Root Beer, Cali, and A&W Cream Soda. We'd been on the computer all day, if not, playing the PS2 or fun exercising on the Wii, cooking our own food a few times...

But it was fun, honestly. [: You guys are probably feeling sorry for us right now after reading my New Year story, but don't. [: It was fun and I'm positive that this was way better than going to an awesome place with people you hate to the bone. [:

Oh! Before I end this, I wanna show you guys my new haircut! :D

BEFORE

[Sorry for the blurry images. :P The shirt I'm wearing is the shirt that the sophomores gave me. :D Since we're their Student Class Advisers, they gave me and Jaja shirts. [: It was supposed to be just for their class, then when we wanted to see it, they offered to give us each a shirt... FOR FREE! 8D Hahah! [: It even has our names at the back. xD]

AFTER

[Picture on the left, me wearing the jacket my Aunt in Canda gave me for Christmas. [: And the two pictures on the right are me wearing my New Year clothes. :P Actually, just me fitting my New Year clothes in Penshoppe. :P Although I did wear them for New Year's Eve. ^^]

I don't think much changed though. :P It's just shorter and I got bangs again. :P Nothing big. :P

So yea, that's it. :D Time for bed. Hahah! Don't wanna be late for school tomorrow. [:

Excitement

2009-11-08T13:36:00.005+08:00

Be original.  Don't follow trends, set them.  All you have to do is look great,  party hard...

Exams are over and like we planned for yesterday, after exams, me and my sister watched Michael Jackson's This Is It with our brother. :)

It was cool. :) But during the movie, I realized there were batchmates somewhere near the back. First I heard this tongue sound this that Harvee does a lot. So I'm all 'I wouldn't be surprised if the lights turned on and I saw Harvee in here.'

Then later on when the screen went black for a while, everything went quiet, and I heard someone shout "BALUT!!" like those people who sell in the streets. Hahahah!

That moment right there, I KNEW Harvee was making all the noise. Hahahah! xD

Then I saw this girl running down the stairs and the way she was running looked so much like how Jaja would run. So I knew it was her. :P

Then there was this guy playing with a bunch of colorful lights twirling it around and stuff. My sister and I kept complaining about how annoying it was, but then I realized later on that it was Arcel playing with colorful lighting sticks. Being the Lady Gaga fan he is, I bet you can guess what he called it... Come on guess. :)) That's right...

a DISCO STICK!

Okay... Moving on. Before we could watch he movie, we had about an hour to kill, so we went to National Bookstore.

So the first shelf I checked was the part where all the Cecelia Ahern books are. Unfortunately, there weren't any new ones. So I looked around for other books in the same section and I found about 3 books that I wanted to buy [but, sadly, couldn't afford].

Then I went to where my sister was and I saw a book.

Anne of Green Gables

I know, I know. It's an old story, from the 19th century, but to be honest I've never read that book before, haven't even seen the movie. I never found copies of it around here, so I was really excited when I found it. :)

I didn't have money, but I just had to buy this book. So I went to the ATM which was only feet away from store's entrance. :P

Then I finally got the book, it didn't cost much, so I also bought the cheapest book among the three books I found earlier. :D

So I got Anne of Green Gables and Past Imperfect by Julian Fellowes. :) It's a story based on the old classic times. :) There's really really rich guy who can't seem to find the perfect woman to share his £5 million fortune with. :P Anywayss... It looks really interesting, so after I finish reading Anne of Green Gables, I'm going to read this one. :D

And in case any of you are nice enough to give me gifts for Christmas [if you're not from here. then yea, I mean through mail, or maybe you can visit me here. Hahah! :D] I would really really really love to receive books. [= [Or you know, anything that you can find in my wishlist right there *points to sidebar*]

I'm not much of a clothes or stuffed toy person. :) So don't bother. :D

Coz you know... When people give clothes for Christmas, the size isn't always right. :P And stuffed toys? Come on, that's so typical. :P I mean... Sure, I give stuffed toys for Christmas, but that's because I'm too lazy to think of what I can give to people. :| This is how it usually goes:

Me: What do you want for Christmas? :D
Some random person: I don't know.

Geez... > . < Hahahah! :P Just tell me what you want. If it's too expensive, at least I'll have an idea then I'll work it out. [=

Anywayss... That's it for now. :D Gonna read my books. [x

...and watch friends with my siblings like we always do. [=

...dance like no one's watching,  dream a dream, talk about whatever,  be crazy, love always, and laugh forever.

Recent Happenings

2009-11-02T18:05:00.005+08:00

God is a DJ, life is a dance floor...

Ok, so we had our PE practicum. :P It happened the same day as when we [girls] surprised the boys. :) [October 30, 2009]

So yea, it was a busy day for a lot of us, the surprise, the scout parade, then this. We rented out our costumes the day before. Our dance was fine, I think. But then some steps were added, Kryle's partner was absent so we had to borrow Cess from the other sections who danced the same dance as us, Cess got my partner, so I got paired up with Kryle, and then we messed up. *nods head* Yep, that's what happened.

Ricco was supposed to be my partner, but then Cess joined our group so I ended up with Kryle. Don't get me wrong, I was totally fine with changing partners, but the steps that were added just kind of messed me up. :|

So yea, Kryle and I got pretty messed up during the dance. It's like... For the last 5 seconds, all we did was stand there. Actually, all I did was stand there. I don't know if Kryle got messed up too, or if he just stopped because I stopped. x_x

To be honest, I'm not one who would mess up while dancing, I guess folk dance just isn't my thing. :P

But yea, if ever any of you group mates are reading this, I'm really sorry for messing up the performance.

[Yea, we performed it in front of the whole class, with a video camera sitting on its tripod at the corner of the room.]

Clickable. :) Oh... and by the way... Ugliest dress I've ever worn. x_x I'm the one at the left side wearing the white silky top, and a blue skirt [I don't think the skirt is seen though.] But in the second picture, you can see the blue part of my sleeve, you'll know it's me if you see a girl doing this --> \m/

Anywayss... First picture is the serious one, 2nd picture is the "whacky" one. :P

So next is the girls *points to picture below*

There, I think you can see me now. :P I'm the one wearing the dark blue skirt on the left. :P I actually said I wanted the purple one, but Cess was wearing it already, so yea. > . < [She's not in the picture though, coz she belongs to Quantum.] Although Anna's here, coz she had to perform with the girls from our class. :) [Girl in bright yellow on the right side part of the picture.]

And here are the boys and Jane:

Yea, Jane had to join the boys. :P Her group lacked boys, so she was the one who dressed up as the boy. :P And of course, joined the boys' picture. :))

So enough about the PE thing, lately I've been so caught up with this game on FaceBook. :P Café World. :)

Yea. Hahah! :P That's my character, and my café. :P

And I've also been playing Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days on the DS. :D My brother downloaded it when it was released and I've been playing it since then. :D

Weeeeeee~ Axel. ♥

Also, I've been addicted to this manga, Spiral - Bonds of Reasoning also known as Spiral - Suiri no Kzuna. :D

It's detective-y and all like Tantei Gakuen Q and Detective Conan, and I just have a love for detective stuff. ^^

Anwyayss... I haven't been blogging a lot like before. But that's because I've been so caught up with deviantART. :D Don't you just love deviantART? Hahah! :D

Here's my account. ^^ Don't hesitate to look around my gallery. :) If you have an account as well, comments would gladly be accepted. ^w^ Or maybe adding me to your deviantWATCH won't hurt. :D

Anywayss, that's it for this post. :)

...love is the rhythm & you are the music.

Sfidato Day

2009-10-31T09:33:00.010+08:00

Some people come into our lives and quickly go. Some stay for a while and leave footprints on our hearts...

Firstly, I would like to say sorry for the really long delay. :| I've been caught up with a lot of stuff, and I didn't have much time to blog. ]= And secondly, I would like to apologize for the extremely long post... There's just so much to talk about. ^^

Hahah! :D

So right now I want to talk about how sweet the boys in our batch are. ^^ [And of course how awesome us girls are. Haha! :D]

So as some of you know, it was Sfidato's 1st birthday last October 29, 2009. [=

It's this thing we have in school. It isn't something I can talk about in a place like this, but what I can say is that having a birthday isn't something we decided on our own. It isn't something we can just make up like "Hey! October is a good month and no one celebrates their monthsary on the 29th. Let's make this day our birthday!" No, no, no, no, no... That's not how it goes and that's not how it's supposed to go. > . <

We earned this day and we got it because of the principal we all loved. ]=

But yea. :D And since it was our birthday we all decided that we'd wear our batch jackets. :D

[Weeee~ Atom in blinding matching jackets. :D (All pictures in this post are clickable. ^^) ]

Anywayss... So last Thursday was our birthday, and since Wednesday, we [girls] were planning to prepare a surprise for the boys, but then they found out, and when Thursday came, the boys decided to surprise us first. We knew they found out, so we made up or minds and moved it to the next day.

But yea... During lunch, all the guys went out and bought stuff which I assume were flowers. Hahah! :P Twinkle and I ate lunch then stayed in the classroom and waited for the guys to come back. [Yea, we all knew they were going to do something, they were being so obvious. :P ]

When they got back, we were all "They're here, they're here!" And we just sat there and the boys were all "Go to the conference room in 5 minutes."

Then when we all went out and headed to the conference room [which happens to be right beside our classroom], all of us were being sarcastic and "Wow! What a surprise!", "How shocking!" or "Suuuuure..." Hahahah! :P

Then we entered the room, I was one of the first to go in coz I was excited and our classroom was really close compared to Wave and Quantum. :))

We walked inside and were welcomed by the boys singing Mr. Suave. Hahaha! xD It was hilarious and I couldn't stop laughing at the looks on their faces when they were singing. :P

[Peh! Yenko's in blue. > . < Hahah! :P ]

After that, they said "We love you, girls!" Then yea... ^^

Then we [girls] pretended to walk out and get angry, we were saying stuff about them ruining our plans and all. [They said Harvee cried because of that. Hahah! ^^ I didn't see it though, but the story was funny. :P]

But a few seconds after we walked out, we decided to go back in and pretend to get angry later on instead. We felt sorry for them. Hahahah! :))

Anywayss... When we were back inside they started giving us flowers. ^^ How sweet! That's why I love them so much. ^^

I was actually watching Kuro Neko from the corner of my eye [of course not directly]... Y'know... Just wondering if he was gonna give me one. But sadly, he just walked right past me. :) It's alright though, because right before I could even wear a disappointed look on my face, Kryle came over and handed me a rose. ^^

It was really sweet. ^^

Then after the whole thing, the bell rang and we had to go back to our study halls. A lot of people were still outside taking pictures, but we didn't want to get marked tardy, so we went inside and took pictures there instead. :P

[That's right! Get blinded by the awesome Sfidato batch jacket. ^^] I guess it's pretty easy to spot me. :P Front and center with Chryzia peeping form behind me. :)) And that's Kryle holding the guitar. [= Kuro Neko is also in the picture. :) If you can guess which one he is, then... You've guessed who he is! Congratulations! Hahah! :P

And just when we were all settled down, Emman knocked on the door. [Yes... Emman.. the guy who's been giving me Christmas and Valentines Day presents since sophomore year.] He asked permission from our adviser to enter the classroom, then he came over to my seat and gave me a rose and said sorry for giving it late. > . <

Anywayss... That's it for the boys' part of the "surprise."

As for ours, we started early in the morning the next day. xD We were in the CR for practically an hour and we even skipped morning Devotion just so we could prepare for the boys' surprise. Of course not all of us were there. :P Please... You couldn't fit all 60-70 girls in there even if you tried. xD

Anywayss, in the CR, we were sorting out the letters we all wrote for the guys into individual brown envelopes, and making the kiss marks. :) [The kiss marks were all made by Nash and Jaymee (and two special kiss marks by Michiko ^^), they prepared these white cloths around the same size as a handkerchief, and Jaymee and Nash put single kiss marks at the corner of each cloth.] It'll be explained later on. :P

Obviously, the guys were on to us already. [Well, they were since the couple of days before.] But we kept doing it anyway, I mean, it's not like we didn't know they were planning something the day before. :P

After devotion, [I don't know how they did it; but] they let the guys stay behind in the conference room where manong VJ "talked" to them. :P

Then we entered and started blindfolding them and everything. :D [Before I get to that, there was this list with the guys' names and the name of the girl who would escort them to the other building, but I wasn't able to see mine, so Yves told me to just get anyone.] So when I entered, the first person I saw was... Ricco. :P So there I was putting my tangerine neckerchief around his face. :P

[Yea, not my necktie, some of us had a parade to go to, so a few of us were in girl scout uniforms. > . < ]

Then we walked them to the not-so-big space in the old Educ building [which now belongs to Sci Hi. :P]

[Sorry, that's the only picture I could find. :P ]

There, we lined them all up and the girls crowded at the side. xD When they removed their blindfolds, before their eyes were tables filled with brown envelopes with their names on each of them. :P

Kate told them to grab the one with their name and that everyone should have one. But we purposely hid the Prime Minister's [DP] envelope. :P

[The plan --->] Then the girls said "Kiss nalang!" So Michiko [of course] stepped forward and pretended that she was actually going to kiss DP. At first DP was all happy and smiley and all, but later on, he started to look nervous and started shaking his head. :))

Then Michi stopped, and Kate asked "Gusto niyo ba lahat ng kiss?" Then yea. xD Michi gave the white cloth with the kiss mark and other girls started giving their kiss marks to the guys. :P

[Sorry again.. That was the only picture I could find. :P]

Anywayss, I couldn't really decide who to give my kiss mark to. I mean, it wasn't actually a kiss mark from me, but judging by the looks of it, it was from Nash. :P

At first, I was sure that I'd give it to Kuro Neko or maybe Ricco coz he's the one I escorted. But then I thought... I'm not that close with Ricco. And if I gave it to Kuro Neko, he'd be suspicious and all.

So then it entered my mind... Why not Kryle? I mean, he was the first to give me the rose the day before. So yea... my mind was made up and all I had to do was look for Kryle in the crowd. But [and again] as I was scanning through the boys, I spotted Emman. > . <

Gosh! I knew I was going to be teased and embarrassed and that I was going to regret doing this, but I did it fast and got it over with. He's done and given me a lot for years, I guess this is the only way I could repay him... Y'know... Before I changed my mind.

So I went over to him, handed him the piece of cloth and said thanks for the rose.

[Can you guess who got the other special Michiko Kiss? Well.. Doii... None other than Vernon! Hahaha! ^w^]

Now here's the good part. We asked the boys to proceed to the terrace of the building, while we went to the dirty lot beside the building. :P

["Romeo and Juliet in reverse." as said by Twinkle. :P ]

Those are the guys. [=

And that's us. :P If you can see it well, Mel and the others spelled out "BOYS" on the ground with sticks, stones... and dirt for the letter S. :P

Then when we were there, we sang "Smile", but a lot of us didn't know the lyrics. > . < So we stopped and sang "You First Believed" instead. [It's the song playing right now. ^^ Read the song description in the side bar. [= ]

Mel even had balloons prepared. Green and Black ones [of course ^^]. There was even a banner that was suppoed to fly away with the balloons when they were released, but they had to detatch it because the green balloons wouldn't fly. > . < [Because of the delay, they lost their helium.]

Then we saw our principal, Ma'am Dep come out of her office. She had this angry look on her face. [Yea, she looked really angry.] So we finished it up when we saw her and ended it with us shouting "WE LOVE YOU, BOYS!!"

And of course a response... "WE LOVE YOU MORE!!" [See? Now that's why I love our batch so much. ^^]

Now here comes the Kill Joy telling us to go back to our classrooms and scolding the other girls for not having their neckties on. [Sheesh! Of course they didn't have it on. Otherwise what would they use to blindfold the boys?]

We were having such a great morning, but she had to ruin the whole thing. I mean, can't she allow us to have fun once in a while? It's not like a batch birthday comes along everyday. Or she could've at least let us finish. ]=

I'm telling you... Worst principal in history. [ We all miss Sir Dioni. T~T ]

Anywayss... Let's not let the tubby lady ruin our birthday.

[Belated] Happy Sfidato Day everyone. ^^

Photo credits go to Jaja! :D Hahah! :P

...And we are never, ever the same. ü

Greek Fest

2009-10-21T18:04:00.003+08:00

And in the end, it's not the years in your life that count...

I think I've told you guys earlier what Greek Fest is... But just to brief you guys about it again, it's an activity where seniors dress up as Greek gods and goddesses. [= Batch Solid06 started it, our Angels had it, batches Optimus and Infragilis Nexus didn't, and now we're reviving it. :D

Anywayss.. Greek Fest isn't as easy as it seems, we had to make props... LOTS of it... We had to have costumes [of course]... And we had to memorize our lines for our introductions, and some had to act stuff out for the short play.

We actually had it on a rainy day [October 6, 2009]. That's right... Ma'am Jerrel actually asked us if we wanted to postpone it so that we wouldn't have to go through the trouble of bringing all our props to FGB Hall and running under the rain in our costumes.

Some of us wanted to postpone it so that we could prepare more, practice lines, and improve some of the scripts... and of course keep ourselves and our props from getting wet in the rain. But of course a lot of us also wanted to push through with it so that we could get it over with and besides, we've all changed into our costumes and rushed a lot of the props, so we didn't want any of that to go to waste. te.

That's us in the classroom preparing for Greek Fest. :D Some were already having their photoshoot, Me, Char and Aica were on our way to the CR to change into our costumes, and you can see DP in the further right side wearing his costume with his wig, helmet, and fake beard. :P [Yea, you can only see the back of my head :P]

Anyways... Yea... :P You'll see my costume later, it's just 2 yards of blue cloth wrapped around me, held together by a bunch of safety pins. :P Oh, and the white rope thingy [from my mom's jacket that I wore that day] that I used with my costume coz It looked too plain without it [Actually, the first plan was to use my necktie, but white looked better than red]. :P [Thanks, Med :D]

That was during the performance. Psyche [Med] was going around with her lamp looking for Cupid [DN] like in their story. She's with Nyx [Arian] going around giving light to everybody one by one so we could introduce ourselves. But if the light doesn't hit us, we're all frozen. I guess you get the point. :P

You can see me in the pictures. :P We're on the left side of the stage by the forest area. I was supposed to be with Josh and Pres by the water area, but then Josh didn't show up and It would've been pointless if Pres and I stayed by the water part alone. So the muses stayed there and Pres [Aphrodite] stood by the center of the stage.

Anywayss... I'm the one sitting down [you have no idea how much my legs hurt when I stood up], you can see the light reflecting on my dog tag. [I was supposed to hide that > . <]

After the introductions, we cancelled the acting part [since no one was able to practice much coz some of the scripts were only given the day before] and we went on to the cat walk. :D

We All went up there one by one [except for a few who went up by twos] and told the audience who we are.

That's me! :D Hahahah! :P

After the "catwalk" we had to end the whole thing. Honestly, if I was part of the audience, I think would've gotten bored, but hey, I wasn't. Haha! :P Everyone left, and we stayed to clean up and [of course] take pictures. :P Come on, don't think we can take not having pictures after any event. :P We're talking about Sfidato after all. xD

Go ahead and click if you want to see a better view. [=

I'm pretty easy to spot. :P Just look for my costume. :D Not in the first picture though, I'm covered. :P

As for the second picture, that's [L-R] DanDan's arm holding DN's bow and arrow, Bianca, Thea, Jam, Med, Gianne, Bruce [covered by Chryzia's Spear], our adviser Ma'am Pam [Below Gianne], Chryzia, Arian, Me and Janine. :D [I bent down coz I thought there was someone behind me. Hahah! :P]

Then after that we all ran back to school under the rain [again]. Some changed to informal, some others [like me] changed back to the uniform and a few decided to just wear their costumes going home. Then we cleaned up the classroom where the props and everything else were messed up. :P

Then I went home with my sister. Yea, we couldn't get a taxi and the jeep place was too far if we wanted to walk under the rain sharing just one umbrella, so yea, we were really wet and we had to call our dad to pick us up and bring us to our mom. :|

But you know... at the end of the day, it was all fun. [= Ma'am Jerrel said that it was nice and nothing looked rushed and our impromptu performances didn't seem like they were impromptu. :D

And even if we weren't ready and we had the choice to postpone or not, choosing to push through was a good choice because for a whole week after that, we didn't go to school because of typhoon Pepeng.

So Quantum and Wave [who were going to have their Greek Fest the following day] had to postpone, and because of that it seems like they're having a hard time. I don't know if they are, but to me it seems like it. They had to have their individual "Greek Fest" some time last week, and their actual Greek Fest will be some other time.

Anywayss... That's it for the Greek Fest post. :P Next up, SOFAD. Hahah! :P After that, it's time to get back to the present time. :P

...It's the life in your years. ü

Past Two Weeks

2009-10-18T06:09:00.006+08:00

Don't be fooled by the calendar...

Heeeeeeyyyy guys! [=

Sorry for the long delay. During the last week of september, I got a little too busy and for the past week or two, my mom visited. [= So me and my siblings decided to stay with her while she was here. We stayed in our grandparents' house with our aunt and cousin [where my mom grew up and where me and my little sister lived with our mom when I was 9-11 years old] it would have be World War III if our mom had to stay at our house with our dad and... them.

Anyways, so when mommy arrived [October 2], the first thing we did was talk and catch up 'til no-one-remembers-what-time. After that, she started unpacking her things and guess what? PASALUBONG-s!! :P A lot too. :D Food, candies, clothes, scrapbooking stuff, etc. [=

She even had billions of stories to tell and we never got tired of listening. She said that if she starts making our petitions now, we could be there in the US with her in more or less two years! :D I don't know why, but I'm excited. ^^

We weren't able to do much though, ]= Because of the typhoon, we couldn't go out of the house that much.

And sadly, during my mom's stay, our grandfather died of cancer. ]= It's really sad for my mom and my aunt losing both their parents in one year. Remember my last blog before I left for China last summer? I mentioned there that my grandmother [from my mother's side] had passed away.

And 5-6 months later it happened to be my grandfather's turn. :|

Anwyayss... Let's not be sad. ^^ When he lay in his coffin, he had this relieved look on his face that looked like he was trying to say "Thank goodness, it's all over." Because he's been in and out of hospitals [even in manila a few times] since my grandmother died. He was a strong man, but he seemed to be falling apart when Mama left. ]= When we visited him once, he'd gotten so thin and it looked like he had trouble walking even more than before.

I'm gonna miss going through his drawers beside his bed though. I remember we'd always find candies and chocolates there. ^w^ And then we'd eat the fresh pandesal he'd bring home in the morning after he goes jogging.

That was when me and my little sister lived there with our mom when our parents separated. I was 9 when that happened and when I was 11, my mom had to leave for the US, so we started living with our dad since then.

Anyways... Umm... Oh! Pictures! :D

First picture was taken in the house we stayed in. [It's the house where my mom grew up and the house where me and my little sister lived for about 2 years before our mom left] On the left is my sister [Hanna] with our mom on the right.

The other two pictures were taken in SM [= [L-R: o1. Me and Hanna || o2. Mommy and Me :D ]

We didn't do much though. :P And I don't have much pictures, mommy has most of them in her phone. [=

Oh! And speaking of her phone, she has a BLACKBERRY!!! Ö I know, right? xD I don't ahve a picture of it, but this is what it looks like *points to picture below*

Yes, yes, it's pink [unfortunately], but it's awesome! xD If you asked me, I'd prefer that over an iPhone. [= Call me crazy, but it's true. :D

Mommy actually offered for me to have it since she saw how much I loved it, but sadly it's locked. Meaning it's not open line, so it only works for Cingular [a cellphone network in the US], and getting to to be opened will be hard here in the Philippines coz not a lot of places here fix Blackberries. I mean we couldn't find anyone to open the Motorola phone she sent us before, whatwhate with the Blackberry? T~T

Anywayss.. :D While we were going through photo albums, we found pictures of our grandparents when they were younger. [=

[Papa had two pictures.. So go figure. :P]

On the left are pictures of Mama and Papa. Papa's picture is an ID picture though. :P And on the right is Papa again, but younger than the other one. ^w^ I had no idea he was that handsome before. ^^ There's another picture of him that Tita Stelle had [even YOUNGER], but I couldn't get a copy or a picture of it. :P

Yea, and within those two weeks, we had our Greek Fest and SOFAD, gonna post them later on. [=

So yea, that's it. I might have forgotten to mention a few things, but I don't really remember everything that happened, so I'll just put them up later. :P

I enjoyed it a lot though. ^^ Of course, mommy had to go back last Wednesday. [Sunday, supposedly but the typhoon and the landslides gave her a hard time to leave Baguio.]

Oh! And one last thing! I got a message from her this morning and she was asking for our exam and sem break schedule. Wanna know why? [Well, I'm gonna tell you anyways...] Coz if sembreak would be long enough, I could go to Singapore! ^^

But sadly... Sembreak will only be for three days this year [including the weekend] due to cancellation of classes for one week [Typhoon Pepeng] and for a week and a half last July because of the H1N1 thing.

So yea... Goodbye Singapore. ]= Oh well... That's it for this post... Next up... Greek Fest! :D

[Greek Fest and SOFAD posts will be below this one. ^^]

...There are only as many days in the year as you make use of. ü

Angels' Day

2009-10-02T18:03:00.003+08:00

Live every day as if it were your last...

HAPPY ANGELS' DAY!! [=

It isn't surprising that this day didn't turn out as a surprise like it's supposed to, but it's not like it doesn't happen every year. :P

It was a sad day for me though. ]= My soul's uncle passed away the night before that, so she couldn't go to school. Everyone was receiving gifts from their Souls, everyone had someone to hug and all, but I just stood there hoping my Soul would magically pop-up out of nowhere and greet me a Happy Angels' Day. :| But no... ]=

Oh well.. [= Then the juniors [who prepared the whole thing] said that they were planning for Angels' Day to be on October 7, but it had tod tomoved on October 2 because Quantum and Wave were having their Greek Fest on October 7.

Then they sang us songs ans ande videos of us. Not video videos... Just the kinds of videos that have millions of pictures in it. :P And when I say a million pictures, I mean a million pictures. :P

They practically put all our batch's pictures in it, including pictures when we were freshmen, sophomores and juniors. :D And at the end of the video it said "We Love You Sfidato 2k10"

I'm not sure if that's what it said exactly, but it was somewhere around those lines. Hahah! :P

And later on, my sister said that she liked us better than the previous batch even though it was her angel's batch. Hahah! [=

And guess what? We got cake! :D

But I didn't get a piece. :| I don't know what happened to the cake. After the event, we all had to go back to our classrooms [waiting for announcements..] and then we all went home coz classes were cancelled for the rest of the day [coz Typhoon Pepeng was coming back.. I don't know why they had to cancel classes though, it was still shining..]

I never got my share of cake.. Hahah! :P But I did get a lollipop! :D You see the green marble looking things that form a 10 on the cake? Yeaa... Those are lollipops. :P

And the picture on the right? Well... See the girl in the girl scout uniform hiding her face? That's me.. :| I wasn't in the mood for pictures.. > . < Coz yea.. I cried.. ]=

Anywayss... That's it for this post.. ^^ But before I end it...

Let me just take this chance to say thanks for this day. ^^
First of all... Thanks to the juniors who kind of rushed the whole thing. If we knew you guys were planning to have it on October 7, we wouldn't have scheduled Greek Fest on that day and you guys would have had more time to prepare for it. ^^

Thank you to the Sophomores who were there and who sang while we walked through the hallways, down the stairs, and into the basement. :P

And of course, thanks to our Souls who, not only we're there for, but who are there for us as well. ^^ Sometimes we seem like we're too busy for you, but the truth is, we'd rather be with you guys than work with all the stress that senior life gives you. :))

Aaaaaand... That ends my post for Angels' Day. :P

...and then some day you'll be right. ö

Fundraising

2009-09-26T23:31:00.013+08:00

If bitterness wants to get into the act...

Okay, so yesterday [September 25, 2009], the SOFAD results were announced in school, and Jane told me how she and Jillian had to tell Jam about it the day before. ]= Poor Jam. ]=

Anywayss, the other day, after our 5-6 classes, Laika told me and Twinkle to go to Educ today and watch her and Caleb sing. I thought it was something for fun, but turns out, it was a fundraising activity.

You see, LitMus this year will be held on November. It's really early compared to normal, which is supposed to be around February or March. And since we don't want to hold it just in the Gym or the basement, we decided to have it some place else like Convention Center or some place, and that's going to cost us around 20k. x_x

I know... It's a lot, but all that money will be put to good use in the end, which means everyone's donations and voluntary contributions will all be worth something good. [=

Anywayss... Going back to the story, we went to go watch Laika sing with the Bilao in front of her in the previous college building [which now belongs to Science High.] I don't know, I just really love it when Laika sings, I guess she's really just that awesome. :P

I even wanted to take videos, but she said she was shy, so I ended up not bringing the video camera. Hahah! :P But I couldn't resist, so I used my phone. I want to upload them, but it's really low quality and the noise drowns out Laika and Caleb's voices most of the time, you can't even hear the guitar. :| You could hear the crowd and the bongos pretty well though. :))

And if I'm not mistaken, [if I heard right] just from that 30 minutes of their singing, we earned 600 pesos. :D Weeeeeee~ I feel like that's a lot. I mean, sure there are 500+ students in school, but I thought it'd only reach 300 or something. :P

Oh, and two days ago [Thursday], I gave my Soul a necklace. I bought it in China and I was supposed to give it as a souvenir. Not to anyone in particular though. I just thought I'd buy several stuff and just decide who to give it to once I got back, but then I ended up not giving anyone anything. Hahah! :P

So this necklace was one of the things I bought that was supposed to be a souvenir, and since I didn't want it, and it looked pretty cute, I decided to give it to my Soul, who has happened to already give me a couple or three gifts. :|

See it? it's a panda! ^o^ It can also spin and all. :P

Oh! Oh! Oh! Before I end my post for tonight, I just wanna show you this GIANT COOKIEthat Crisea gave me today. xD

Yuuuuuummm~ ^w^

*gasp!* It's 2:36 AM. O.O Hahahah! Nooo... it didn't really take me that long to type this. Look, reading manga, playing DS or PSP and writing your blog isn't as easy as it sounds when you're trying to do it all at the same time. Hahah! >u<

Goodnight. ^w^ ^nyao~

...I offer it a cookie or a gumdrop.

Scout 'Human Resource Management Officer' For A Day

2009-09-24T21:16:00.002+08:00

A Scout is never taken by surprise...

You're probably wondering what's up with my extremely long blog title today... Well...

First of all, to those who haven't read my previous posts, I was one of the 10 girls [seniors] in our school who were chosen to take the SOFAD exam.

Scout Official For A Day

The title says it all. xD But not just any ordinary school or barangay official... we get to be [City] Government Officials. ^o^

And judging by how excited I am, you can probably tell that I got a part! :D I was aiming for councilor... Nothing more, but I guess an official is good too. :P Hey, at least I got in. :D

9 out of 10 of us girls were chosen and [?] out of 8 boys got in as well. Other participants are from other schools. :D

It's really weird though... Jam didn't get in. ]= Everyone was expecting her to get to be at least councilor coz her interview was long and they asked her difficult stuff like Cha Cha and in my view, she was able to answer well. It makes me wonder why I got a part and among all the 20-30 other people below me, I didn't see Jam's name on the list. :|

To be honest, [and I'm not just being modest] I was so sure that if even just one of us didn't get a part, I knew it would be me. I mean, if you were there during our interview, I was lost for words almost every time, and my interview went on for probably just around 3-5 minutes. Others reached 10. > . <

That made me think that they lost interest in me and that I was definitely gonna be the one who wouldn't get a part, but then came today, Ma'am Pam called me, Chryzia and Jane from Atom. And she told us the good news. It was weird she didn't call Jam, so I thought it was going to be the other way around coz I was certain that Jam was sure to get a high position.

Oh right... Mayor is Nalig and I'm worried that it's going to be be talked about a LOT by the people in Baguio since the mayor is a Bautista [family who owns our school] and Nalig's a relative of his.

Vice-Mayor is Cess. :D And Caleb got the position of the First Councilor. Isn't that awesome? Our school got the top three officials. xD

Anwyayss... Umm... Jane is an officer, she got something about buildings. Hahah! :P

And Chryzia, was bummed that she got stuck with the position of an officer who handled money. Hahahah! :P Coz you see, she's already the Finance Minister in our school, and I can see that she'd probably want a position she's not already working with. Hahah! :P

I don't know what the others got. So yea. :P

Oh, yeah. :D I'm filling in for Mr. Jose Dacawi, the Human Resource Management Officer. I have no idea what that is, but Nalig told me that I get to be the person who gets to fire people. >:)

Hahahah! :P

Anywayss, that's it for today... no pictures... -.-" Sorry... Actually I think I do, but it's late and I need to go to sleep. ^^ I'ma post them tomorrow or some other time. ^^

Goodnightsss~ ^w^^nyao~

...he knows exactly what to do when anything unexpected happens. ö

A Normal School Day Once Again

2009-09-23T22:14:00.009+08:00

Enjoy yourself...

Yesterday, Daryll, Ricco and Vergel had their Demo speeches in English, and they taught the class how to paint writings on shirts. Blah blah blah... and here comes today, the three of them wore the shirts they made for their demo speech.

Daryll's shirt says: NIDOYLICIOUS [Aaron Nidoy is our classmate :P]
Ricco's shirt says: I SURVIVED and had a tiny... umm... _sperm... below the writing. xD
And Vergel's says: JUST DO ME... y'know... "Nike: Just Do It" Yea... hahah! :P

Ricco's and Vergel's are kinda [In Char's words] pervy, but hey, those are our batchmates, what can we do about it? Hahahah! >u< When I think about it, I'm kinda glad our batchmates are like this instead of those innocent, nerdy kinds that outsiders expect Science High Scholars to be. Hahahahah! =))

So during our last period, we didn't have a teacher and a lot were out practicing for Quiz Bees and doing IPs, so I sat with Twinkle and Vergel who happened to be talking about personal stuff. I joined in, then so did Bruce, then Gerlyn. We kind of talked a lot about Lovey stuff. > . < Hahahah! :P

Anywayss, while we were doing that, I asked Vergel if I could borrow his shirt. Then I wore it!!! Hahahah! :P

Although I'm begging you, please don't. Hahah! :P

[Phone's camera once again. T~T Sorry~]

Then came dismissal, I had to give Vergel's shirt back, and before my sister and I headed home, we bought snacks... and guess what I found in Starpines! :D Come on... guess... :P

Alright.... I found Strawberry Oreo!! :D

I know, I know... It's not that new. My sister's seen it before, so has my brother... But this is my first time seeing it, so don't bug me about it. > . <

Yuuuuuuuuummmmmmm~

These pictures were taken in our car, so please excuse them for being dark. xD

Anywayss... Nothing much to blog about today... Nothing big's really happening right now, so yea. xD

Oh! And before I forget:

September 22, 2009
Happy Birthday
Bianca Alabanza
Aica Rafio
John Carlo Gonzales

Yea, and I thought everyone celebrated their birthdays on September 18. Hahah! xD Actually, yesterday [Sept. 22], more people celebrated. >u< I just don't know who the others are, Laika announced around 3 other celebrants though. :P

Anywayss... I'm just going to give you guys an extra bit before I end my post. This may not interest a few of you since you don't know her, but it won't hurt to continue reading. :P

So I guess we all know our batchmate, Janine. Well, have you ever seen her sleeping in class?

No, this picture was rotated, and yes, she is sleeping on the wall. :P

Hahahah! OK, OK... Goodnight... ^nyao~ ^w^

...These are the good old days you're going to miss in the years ahead.

Sfidato Ain't Sfidato Without a Guitar

2009-09-21T17:18:00.003+08:00

Those who danced were thought to be quite insane...

And today is another holiday. Hahahah! xD I think this is the school year with the most number of cancelled classes. :P As Masato would say, "Shortened School Year" ^o^

But yea, today SCAs had a meeting. We started filling out the log books [or Violation Books] for each class, and they started setting up the Discipline Charts that would be put up by tomorrow.

But of course, it's not like we did anything for the whole 6 hours [in my case, 4 and a half hours] of the meeting. It was kinda boring. Hahah! :P But you know, Sfidato isn't Sfidato without a guitar around. Hahah! :P

[[ Every time we have meetings or gatherings, there will [and must] always be a guitar. ^o^ ]]

We were just sitting in the basement doing practically nothing. :P I was with Sari and Nicole along with some of the people who practiced for the Poetry in Motion and Oral Interpretation competitions.

Aaaaand when I got home, I went straight to the computer and got bored, so I was on YouTube, watching Krista Nicole singing. [By the way, you should check her out here, she's awesome. :D]

Then I ended up watching the video I took of Laika and Caleb singing during LitMus when we were sophomores. :D Then I browsed some of the related videos and I saw a few uploaded by batchmates. So I checked them out. And whenever I see these videos, it makes me want to look around for other videos of our batch.

So I searched "2k10 UBSHS" and saw this video of the band playing Kaleidoscope World by Francis M. It loads pretty slow and it's a little blurry, but it's ok. :P

I actually didn't believe that it was our batchmates coz I don't remember them performing that song in the gym. So I decided to watch the video to make sure.

Still, I couldn't recall when it was, so I continued watching and started to think that maybe they're different people. But then I saw the title 2k10 band of UB sci high pLaying Kaleidoscope WorLd and noticed that the bassist looked like Vernon, one of the guys on guitar looked like Justin Yodong, and the singer didn't only look like Vergel but it sounded like him too. > . <

So I was convinced that this was our batch's band, and I IMed a few people and asked them if they remembered when this happened. And all three of them didn't know either. > . <

Anyways, thanks for reading. :P I'm gonna go, I haven't started doing our assignments yet. Computer kills me, I know nothing about the lessons and the Physics is kinda hard since it's taken from Sir Ryan's book again. > . <

I better get to work, but I doubt I'm gonna finish anything tonight.

Oh! Oh! DP's on! xD

............

Right, right. :D The video was taken during the Handog. Hahahah! xD I probably don't remember coz Nicki and I were crying that time. ^^

Anyways, byeee~

...by those who could not hear the music. ü

Love is when you tell a guy you like his shirt...

Wow! ACET was way easier than I expected! Ahahahah! :P I knew it'd be easier than UPCAT, but I expected it to be harder. Oh well... :P

I was almost late for the exam though. -.-" I didn't know my way around City High so I kept going around asking people for directions, then good thing I ran into Sato. :D He was asking for directions as well, and lucky for him, the guard gave him a straight answer. :))

Whenever I'd ask someone, they'd say "doon" or "tanungin mo sa guidance office" But that was the problem. x_x I had no idea where.

So I went with Sato and then I finally found my room. :P I was with Jill, Jae-a, Jaja, Dan Dan, Nalig and Jayrenz... Uhh... Those were the only batchmates I remember. :|

I was also in the same room with a few familiar people. Danielle... Uhh... a girl from SLU that I met through YM coz her friend was using Harvee's account. Then we talked and all, but I don't think she remembers me. :P

And the other one was Nina. :D She's this girl I met in CISV [summer camp] in Subic when I was 9 years old. I always thought she was younger than me coz she used to be so small and cute, but then I saw her during the UPCAT and now during ACET. :P And again, I don't think she remembers me. Hahahah! :P

Anywayss... I went home kinda late. :|

Let's put that aside first. 'Coz today I joined a blog contest! :D It's the first ever blog contest I joined, and a lot of people joined this one [and some already have 100+ points x_x] so there are really small chances of me winning. But oh well... Hahahah! :D

It's called PoshCraze. :D And they have really cool prizes. [=

So if you want to help me in any way, please click here. Thanks! ^^

So that's it for today. :D Goodnights. ^w^

...then he starts wearing it everyday.

To Be Continued...

2009-09-19T10:58:00.003+08:00

Why Study For Exams? Are they not about what you know...

Uhmm... Nothing much to blog about this morning, I'm just going to post a few things and get going. [=

[Gonna make a new post later on when I get back. :D]

So first of all, today is our ACET. I'm just gonna take a quick shower and head over to City High for the exam at 1:30. Pray for me, guys. ^^

And I hope I see someone I know there... I mean... I don't know my way around that school, so yea. Hahah! :P

Oh, and...

Happy Birthday!
Nikki-Chan!! :D

Yes, it's Nikki-Chan's birthday today. :P I made her virtual gifts last week and I guess it won't hurt to put them up here on my blog. :P

Click here for gift number 1 and here for gift number 2. :P

"Why don't I just put up the pictures?" That's coz the second gift loads reeeeeaaaal slow since it has about one billion frames. Hahahah! :P It's animated, that's why. :|

Anywayss... I'm gonna go. [= Pray for me. ^^

And also God Bless to everyone else taking the ACET. [=

...and not about how much you can cram into your head the night before? ö

Losing My Sense of Proportion

2009-09-18T22:55:00.004+08:00

For once, I want to be hard to leave...

Ehmmm...? Yesterday? I don't remember what happened... :| Waaaaaiittt..... =/

I don't remember... -.-" So I'll just talk about what happened today. xD

Umm... Let's see... I got up pretty late coz last night, my sisters and I were watching Friends. xD My siblings and I just really love that show. :P Everytime we look for something to watch, we end up watching either anime or Friends. :P

And while we were in our classes during Sacred Silence this morning... Weeeeee~ Kuro Neko smiled at me. ^w^ Hahahahah! I know, I know... It's probably normal, but he was sitting on a chair outside his class, and I got tired of standing, so I sat on the table by the window right outside of my class, and I was facing him.

And right beside me, Jaja and Charish were talking, and I got bored, I didn't know what to do, I got tired of telling the adings to keep quiet... Then I looked at him sitting on the chair, then he smiled at me. >w<

No! It wasn't a normal smile. :P It was more like... a blinky smile.. Bah! How do I explain this? Hahahah! It's like he blinks both his eyes then smiles at me... Wah! It's hard to put it into words. -.-" A picture would've been better. Hahahah! :P

Anywayss... I think I'm overreacting about the whole thing, but also during one of our subjects, we were having a seat work. And a lot of people were going to the front to get our teacher to check their work, and he was there.

I think his answers were just about right, but he had to change something, so as he walked back to his seat, he looked like he wanted to add something to his answers, so he got down on one knee right in front of me and used my desk to write his answers... Ah! I know a lot of people do that, and I do that as well, but it's just weird that he had to do it on my desk.

Bah! Whatever. Hahahah! :P I'm overreacting... too much. Don't mind me. xD

Oh! ACET is tomorrow! xD Wish me luck... Pray for me... :D

God Bless to everyone else taking the ACET. ^^ Aaaaaaaaand...

Happy Birthday!

'Lola' Laika Pantaleon
'Seatmate' Bryan O'Brien
My new 'brother-in-law' Aeron Soria [hahah! :P]
Little Bro Ading Yvan Fonacier
and Manang Israh Que, my sister's best friend [=

Yea, everyone's celebrating their birthdays today. :P

Anywayss... that's it :D Goodnight :D Gonna get a good night's rest for tomorrow. xD

...have someone up all night thinking of me.

Sic itur ad astra

2009-09-15T20:40:00.004+08:00

"You can't stay in your corner of the forest waiting for others to come to you...

[This way to the stars]

First of all... Here are a couple of pictures of the Sir Emmett pins. ^^

"Across the darkness, I salute the dawn." Is what Sir Emmett would say during the Red Carpet, but ever since he left, all year levels and alumni would say it at the end of our salutations.

I'm not a hundred percent sure of how the salutations were originally delivered, but since I was a freshman, each batch would have their own. [=

Here's the original picture :D I found it on FaceBook. [=

Click on it for a bigger view. :P

Aaaaand, last Saturday, a few of my classmates went to school to decorate our classroom [which (again) should be done during the first few weeks of school in June]. Then they made our seat plan. Daryll tried sending a picture to me, but sadly, I couldn't receive it through YM, so I had to take a look at it yesterday.

And here it is:

Those are all stolen pictures of everyone. xD Except for Val.. :| Hers isn't stolen. > . < No fair. xD And Jane [Maeng] has no picture, so all they could think of to put was a Korean flag. :|

Funniest pictures for me are Gianne's [First (full) row, second from the right], Charish's [beside Gianne, first (full) row first from the right], Jane Ang [Last line second from the right], and Vergel [last line, second from the left]

Hahahah! Funny xD Some pictures aren't clear though since the light's reflecting against the plastic cover. :|

Try to find my picture! Hahahah! :P Can't? Take a look at this picture and try to find it in the one above. :P

FIRST ONE TO FIND IT GETS.... uhh... to be happy. :D Weeeeee~

According to them, this was taken by Jam when we were at Enchanted Kingdom after our Girl Scout Regional Encampment last December. :P

Anywayss, right now I'm getting annoyed with a few friends. We'll give nicknames okay? And just to inform a few people, I'm not backstabbing, I'm just speaking my mind about this. And no, even if you're one of my closest friends, I'm not going to tell you who these people are.

First of all, let's call her Elle... Ehh... I don't know why.. Let's just call her that. Hahah! :P

Anywayss, in class, she's always poking me, trying to tickle me and when she moves her feet around, she puts up my feet or my skirt. > . < It's annoying. I mean, sure, she's nice and fun and she helps me a lot with school work, but it's annoying what she does in class. > . <

Anywayss... my other problem is with a close friend. Let's call her Jax. Umm.... yeaa... I don't know why either.. It's random, so don't blame me if people start thinking of reasons why I'm using these names. :P

Anywayss, when Jax and I hang out, I sometimes mention one of my friends, let's call her Chlow. Whenever I mention her name or say something about her, Jax says something really negative about her, and I get so ticked off, but I end up not saying anything about it to her coz... I don't know... we might start arguing and I'll end up just saying "Fine, fine... Whatever you say." and then I'll end up being the loser. > . <

But she's said a lot of things about her... Like calling saying how she only got into the honors coz she cheated, how she's fat and all... -.-* It annoys me a lot but I don't want to say anything about it. ]=

Anywayss, I guess that's all. Oh! And Last Saturday, my mom sent us messages on FaceBook saying that she's coming to visit us for a week!! ^w^

Yay! :D I haven't seen her for 4 years, and I'm really excited to see her. ^^

Anywayss, goodnight guys. :D I'm gonna go to bed. ^^

Happy Birthday to my bro, Raymart Marzan!! :D
Happy Birthday, bro. ^^ I miss you. ^^ I Love you. ^^

And sometimes a simple glance with a smile, and if I'm lucky...

Waaa~ So I could've posted this a couple of hours ago, but I was too distracted. Yes, here I am again watching Alyssa Bernal videos. hahah! xD

Yes, she's awesome! :D She's one of the best YouTube singers I've ever seen. ^w^ Check her out here! :D

Anwyayss... Yesterday, we finally got our Sir Emmett Pins. ^w^ [Pictures tomorrow... Sorry... I'm sleepy. Hahah! :P]

And Today Sir Tim asked us to have our own Journals for English class. We need to have at least 3 entries a week and they'd be submitted to him every Tuesday. Uhh.. Yea, I guess it kinda reminds me of the movie Freedom Writers as well. Hahah! :P

I got a little bored earlier in class, so I opened my journal [notebook] to the very first page, and decided to make a sort of 'title page' for it. xD

I doodled "Chinky Imperfections: On Paper" on the page. Hahahah! :P I know, I know.. Corny, but I was hella bored. xD

And by now, you're probably wondering about my blog post's title. :P Hahahah! :D About a year ago [or so], I received this E-mail. It's really cute and I happened to stumble upon it again today. :P

It's weird, funny and cute all at the same time. Hahahah! But I find it really cute. ^w^

This'll make you give out a giggle or two, no doubt:

This is an exercise in language skills. Do you think Bush could get it?To get the full effect, this should be read aloud. You will understand what "ten jew berry muds" means by the end of the conversation. This was nominated for the best email of 2005.

The following is a telephone exchange between a hotel guest and room-service, at a hotel in Asia, which was recorded and published in the Far East Economic Review:

Room Service (RS): "Morrin. Roon sirbees."
Guest (G): "Sorry, I thought I dialed room-service."
RS: "Rye..Roon sirbees..morrin! Jewish to oddor sunteen??"
G: "Uh..yes..I'd like some bacon and eggs."
RS: "Ow July den?"
G: "What??"
RS: "Ow July den?...pryed, boyud, poochd
G: "Oh, the eggs! How do I like them? Sorry, scrambled please."
RS: Hokay. An Sahn toes
G: "What?"
RS: "An toes. July Sahn toes
G: "I don't think so
RS: "No? Judo wan sahn toes
G: "I feel really bad about this, but I don't know what 'judo wan sahn toes'means
RS: "Toes! toes!...Why jew don juan toes? Ow bow Anglish moppin we bodder?"
G: "English muffin!! I've got it! You were saying 'Toast.' Fine. Yes, an English muffin will be fine."
RS: "We bodder?"
G: "No...just put the bodder on the side-
RS: "Wad!?"
G: "I mean butter...just put it on the side."
RS: "Copy?"
G: "Excuse me?"
RS: "Copy...tea...meel?"
G: "Yes. Coffee, please, and that's all
RS: "One Minnie. Scramah egg, crease baykem, Anglish moppin we bodder on sigh and copy....rye??"
G: "Whatever you say
RS: "Ten jew berry muds."

Hahahahahah! Isn't it just cute? >w<

One last thing, before I end this post... Yesterday, we had 5-6 class [we have it once a week], and unfortunately, I was a cleaner as well. So when we were dismissed, we started cleaning and a few other people stayed because we had to decorate our classroom [which we normally have to do during the first week of classes in June].

Then I walked outside to wash my hand coz for the whole last period, I was cleaning up after our bunny's mess. So yea.. Hahah! :P I went out of the classroom, headed to the comfort room, washed my hands, then walked back to our classroom just to see... [You'll never guess] Dimples...Yes, dimples... -.-"

Gosh, I haven't seen him for weeks... Not that I was bothered by it, but then he and Kuro Neko started talking. And whenever I'd look at one of them, I couldn't help but look at the other one as well. >_<

Gah! It's so confusing. >_<

Then as I walked to the faculty room with Twinkle, dimples was walking behind me with his friends, and Jaja kept teasing me and stuff.

She's just really like that, I guess. Hahah! :P But she knows that I like someone else now. :P

Anywayss... I just thought I'd talk about it 'cause when that was happening, I kept telling myself "*Insert Kuro Neko's real name here*" over and over again, and Twinkle told me "Mind setting? I thought you've moved on."

That made me confused.. :| When I saw dimples yesterday, I admit that maybe there were feelings left. But who was there to blame? I mean, I liked him for the past two to three years, told him, then ended up ruining our friendship. ]=

And then here comes stupid me, about a month ago, I started liking this other guy I nicknamed Kuro Neko, thinking that if dimples found out I liked someone else, then maybe we could be friends again. >_<

I don't know. >_< This is making my brain hurt. >_<

Oh well... As Charish says when it comes to love matters "Mag-aral muna!!" Hahahah! :P

'Til here. I'll post pictures of the pins and my journal and all tomorrow. ^w^

Time to read Fairy Tail! <3 Byee~

...a 'hi', can make my day a billion times better. ü

Goddess of the Sea

2009-09-08T21:08:00.005+08:00

If science fiction is the mythology of modern technology...

First of all, in Sir Emmett's funeral, they were giving away free pins. :D

This is the free pin from batch '96. [= There were also cooler pins which were being sold for 50 PHP. They're going to sell them in school tomorrow. ^^

[Memorable batch moment: After the burial, they handed us free lunch. Since the shaded area was crowded, we were fine with eating together while it was drizzling. :D Then the rain started to get stronger......... Next thing we knew, we were eating under the rain. :D]

Anywayss.. then today, we finally had our draw lots for who we'd dress as for our Greek Fest. :D

Only seniors have this, supposedly every year. But for the past two years no one had it. But when we were freshmen, our angels did. :D And we're lucky now to be able to hold this event. ^^

Anywaaays... :D I was able to get a goddess. ^^ A couple of girls randomly got to be mortals. And a few were muses. I'm lucky! :D Hahah! :P I'm a goddess. :P

Yes, I got Ceto [pronounced as Keto] the goddess of the sea. ^^

If you search the internet though, a few sites say I'm a sea monster. Hahah! :P But some say I'm [she's] the goddess of the sea. Although if I'm not mistaken, the real goddess of the sea is Amphitrite. Oh well.. :P

And despite of how we're going to present it as a class, it might be a story, or just showing our costumes [or however they want to have it], Josh will be my partner. :P

He's Poseidon, the god of the sea. :P

Anywayss, that's all for today's post. xD

I wanna read Fairy Tail before going to bed. :P Soooo... Advanced goodnight to you all. :P

...then its myth is tragic. ö

Fun In The Sun: Photos

2009-09-06T21:03:00.005+08:00

My life is like a stroll on the beach...

Get ready to get a glimpse of eight billion pictures! Hahah! :D I've been waiting forever and a half for the day I'd be able to post the pictures. Hahah! :D And here they are. :D

Just a few reminders:

o1. All pictures are clickable! :D Yay~ ^^
o2. Picture captions and descriptions will be below the pictures. :D
o3. For those who are wondering why I have to use clickable pictures instead of enlarged the pictures, then... Peh! I don't want giant pictures filling up my blog. > . < Hahah! ü
o4. Credits for the pictures go to Jamila Lucas and Sonya Sison. :P

So that's it. :D Here are the pictures. ö

That was in the morning, when we went back to school after carrying stuff from Nalig's house. :D Right before we rode in the vans. :P

It's pretty dark though. I had to edit the brightness and the exposure and all that. :P It was early in the morning, but I don;t remember it being that dark, so I guess there's something wrong with Sonya's cam. :P

That was during morning devotion! :D I love morning devotion. ^^ Especially if we're outside school and people stare coz we're singing songs they don't know. :D Hahahah! :D Kiddingggg. :P

It's fun devoting our mornings to the Lord. ^^

There was another picture before these two were taken. There were only about 5-8 people in it. And unfortunately, I was the only one who wasn't able to jump on time. Hahahah! :)) So I decide not to post it. xD

First picture was when a lot of people joined in. :P And a lot weren't able to jump on time. It was only Ange, me and Thea who were able to. :P

Second picture... Still not everyone, but good enough. Hahah! :P It's pretty easy to spot me. :D I'm the one in green. xD [My face isn't seen though.]

Yes, I was in green from upper body to toe. :P My top was brown with green.. flowers? I don't really know. :)) Green shorts, and green Banana Peel slippers. xD

Anywaaayyys... next pictures! :P

There weren't any pictures of us in the pool during the morning. They're probably in Criselle or Anthony's cameras, and they haven't uploaded yet. [=

That was the tug of war. :D Hahahah! That was the round on the sand. xD

This was the round in the water. xD Ricco was the referee guy... or whatever it's called in tug-of-war. :P

And as we agreed upon, the losing team would have to roll in the sand. Hahah! :P

That's us getting ready to do our thing. Hahahah! :P [I feel so fortunate to have been in all (okayy... most) of the beach pictures. Hahah! :P]

Weeeee~ Roll! Roll! Roll! ^o^ Hahahah! :P

You can see me in both pictures xD First one is with Thea and Jam. [Jam is the really skinny one in dark pink. :P And Thea's the one in blue. :P]

Second picture is of the same people but with Daryll ahead of us. :))

These pictures are of the winning team playing against Manong VJ's team. Hahahah! :P

L-R: Sir Dio, Manong VJ, and his two batchmates. :)

They won the first round [on sand] and lost in the next two round [in water]. Hahah! :P But they didn;t roll. -.-" No fair. > . < Hahah! :P

These pictures were taken after lunch. :D We didn't want to go into the big pool yet since it was really sunny and the sun is normally really hot during that time of the day. :P So We stayed in the kiddie pool where the shade was. :P

And as you can see in the pictures above, Harvee and Nalig tried to carry Kate. Hahahah! xD

Then next are pictures of the relay thing. I'm getting lazy, so I'll only post the ones with me in it. Hahahah! :P

That's Me, Xavier and Jillian waiting for our groupmates to tag us and give us the coins, and for Caleb to throw a different coin into the pool for us to looks for. [That's why we're facing away from the pool. :P ]

Next picture is still of the three of us, this time we're trying to look for the coins. :P Jill found the coin I was supposed to find and I found hers. So we kinda just switched. Hahah! :P

And that's the line. :D Remember what I said before? About the losing team having to swim under the other two teams. Hahah! xD Yea, that's the line. :P There are about 20 people in the line. :D

[No pictures of synchronized swimming and us playing tag. T~T ]

Then that's a picture of everyone [except Sonya (<--photographer)] forming a giant 10! :D

Yep, that's it. And for a short time while we were playing tag and a few seconds while we were forming the 10, it started raining. xD But who cares? Hahah! :P We were already wet anyways. :P

Then after that, we all started to shower and get dressed. While some were showering, some decided to swim a little more [that's when I swam too low and hit my face on the pool's floor. > . < ]

Then we showered and headed home. ^^

Yeaaaa... that's it. Hahah! :D

I'm gonna go sleep. :P

4 posts in one day is really tiring. Hahahah! :D Goodnighties! ^w^

...as near to the edge as I can go.

Scout Official For A Day: Photos

2009-09-06T20:31:00.004+08:00

A Girl Scout is a friend to all...

So as I mentioned in the original post, before leaving school, Ma'am Dep talked to us a bit and we offered a few minutes of our time for a short prayer led by Caleb.

Then we took a taxi going to the council. We were a little late, so when we arrived, they've already finished with the flag ceremony and stuff.

So we took the exam. Then after that, the interview. :D

This was when we were waiting for our turn for the interview while others had theirs. :D Ma'am Pam was nice enough to buy us snacks and drinks. :D [CHUCKIIIIEE!! xD]

And like I said before, after our interview, we found the boys sitting in the lobby of the Girls Scout council. :P So we went out and took some pictures. :D *points to picture above*

Clickable!! :D

Then we started walking to Session Road for lunch. :D

But then we had to make a stop-over at a store coz Michi had to buy something. :D

Then we went to KFC. Hahah! :P

Aaaaand that's it. Hahah! :P I didn't see any pictures of our "clean up drive" on FaceBook. Hahah! :D So I guess that's it. :P

I'll post the pictures of us cleaning once someone uploads them. :P

...and a sister to every other girl scout. ö

Tribute

2009-09-06T20:08:00.003+08:00

"Sir Emmett believed that learning is not and should not be confined in the the four walls of the classroom...

Just a quick post about what happened today before I post pictures of SOFAD and the outing. :D

So I went to school today at around 10:30. Yes, I was late, but it was fine. :))

We practiced songs, mostly Red Carpet songs. We Enter, We are Gathering, Cover Me, Taps and Home Sweet Home.

We also practiced about 8-10 devotion songs in case they'd ask us to sing a few. [=

Then we went to La Paz, the funeral place, for the Tribute to Sir Emmett. All batches were there. From the first graduating batch, to our batch, batch 2010.

There were manongs and manangs from batch 1967 [first batch] were even there. Of course no batch was complete, not even ours, since today was a Sunday and no one wanted to require all seniors to be there, so everyone who was there arrived voluntarily. [=

Most batches had a representative who gave speeches and short messages. Batches from the 90s and above were in a separate room [just beside the Chapel everyone else was in] watching everything happening through a screen and we could hear everything perfectly. [An LCD projector was connected to a camera in the other room.]

Anywayss... after the batches from the 70s decade, they had to start the mass. We were all supposed to present something before the mass, and that's what we expected, sicne if we waited until after the mass, we'd all be going home late.

So manong VJ asked if our batch could give our tribute before the mass. And so we did. [=

We sang the Red Carpet songs, and one or two devotion songs and we had to stop since it was taking too long. But while we were singing, I saw one manang around her late 50s singing along to the songs, and another manang from one of the batches from the 70s crying.

It made me tear-up as well. I didn't want to cry while giving our tribute, so I held back the tears and just continued singing.

And in the end, manong VJ said that we were all invited to the burial, which would be tomorrow. I want to go but I think we have to do something for our IP. ]=

If I can talk to Char about it, I'll ask her if we could move the rabbits' urinalysis to the afternoon so we could go to the burial in the morning. ^^

Manong VJ also said "Congratulations. I think you've just won yourselves tickets to the Alumni Homecoming." Hahah! [= Yes, it's rare for seniors to be joining the alumni homecomings. So if we are invited, then we'd be the third batch to join an alumni homecoming during our senior year. :D

That's it for today. [= Time to post pictures of SOFAD and the outing. ^^

...He taught us about life... a journey." ü

Verbum Sat Sapienti

2009-09-06T07:23:00.005+08:00

In the fading light, we welcome the night...

So as you can all see in my shout out in the Extras sidebar, a dear member of the Science High family passed away last tuesday. ]=

Sir Emmett Brown Asuncion... The founder of our school.

Yes, he was 70 years old... Which means our school isn't very old compared to several other distinguished schools. But that doesn't stop our school from being so awesome. :D

According to several people, Sir Emmett left [or rather stopped teaching in] Science High a year before my brother [batch 2k5; Avenguardia] entered. Although he regularly visited even until my sister [batch 2k8; Optimus] was a freshman.

I'm not sure if batch 2k9 [Infragilis Nexus] got to meet him like that, but according to my sister, the last time he visited Science High was when she was a freshman, and that batch 2k9 mostly only know him because of their batchmates, manong Rufus, who happens to be related to Sir Emmett. [=

Anywayss... Last tuesday night, text messages kept going around saying that he passed away. At first I couldn't believe it, but then a second text came saying something similar to the first one. Then that's when I remembered that he's been bed-ridden for almost a year, if I'm not mistaken.

So the next day, we tried to keep the school as disciplined as we could. We told them to maintain Sacred Silence for the whole day as much as possible. But as expected, it wasn't easy. -.-"

We dedicated the morning devotion to him, and after that, the seniors were called for a meeting at the conference room.

During that meeting, manong VJ said they wanted to send all the batches to go visit Sir Emmett's wake. But he said they weren't confident about that since discipline would be a big problem, that includes the seniors. Although, I guess they really wanted scholars to visit, so they sent us, seniors.

Then ma'am Dep talked to us. She told us stories about Sir Emmett, she talked about how great a person he was, she told us a lot of things about him, and whenever she'd start saying really nice things, she'd cry. ]=

It's like, even though we never had him as a teacher, and even though a lot of us haven't met him in person, a lot of us could feel their pain. It was like losing a close family member. Believe it or not, just by listening to Ma'am Dep and Manong VJ, my necktie was drenched in tears. ]=

So for the whole morning, classes for the seniors were cancelled so we could practice the songs we would sing at his wake. ^^

As said my Manong VJ earlier on, one of Sir Emmett's favorite songs was Home, Sweet Home. It's a song we sing during Red Carpet, and I actually like it a lot as well. [= So we practiced singing that song, and a Manang even taught Laika how to sing the second voice of that song over the phone.

Weeee~ I actually recorded us singing it. ^^ But the file format isn't compatible for internet upload, so I can't put it in my blog. Sorry. :|

Oh, and I almost forgot. Manong VJ told us the story behind one of our devotion songs, Despite. It was a song the the manangs and manongs from batch '81 made for Sir Emmett.

From what I understood, their batch wasn't in good terms with Sir Emmett, and right before they graduated, they somewhat apologized to Sir Emmett. And they wrote this song for him.

[Batchmates, if ever I got the story wrong, please tell me. Hahah! [= ]

Here are the lyrics. ^^

Despite

Despite our ups and downs, Our smiles and frowns
Will you still love us?
The moon that hides, the sun that shines
The red-tailed lights
Shadows that guide us

We can not smile for a while
When we know the love you've shown is done

One time our love was gone
But has come back
Now it's stronger
The long, long rides
The well known sites of those sweet times
Shadows that guide us

We can not smile for a while
When we know the love you've shown is gone

And to tell you the truth, this has always been my favorite devotion song. ^^ It was one of the first songs that our SCAs taught us when we were freshmen. [=

There's even a group on FaceBook, Tribute to Sir Emmett Brown Asuncion. And here are some of the messages that alumni posted on the wall. [=

We, the batch of 2008, consider ourselves very fortunate since he was still able to personally teach and share to us his wisdom during our first year, and at the same time less fortunate for we were not able to have him fully present in our High School life. Fragile he may be, his heart never allowed to falter and still presses on to share us his wisdom and values we need. The seemingly timeless traditions of the Science High taught to us, which started in the early years of the Science High with sir Emmett, trickled down all the way from the earlier batches to the younger batches, such as us, to instill us the morals and values in life. We consider it to be a complete privilege for being allowed to be part of his legacy such as the building the Tower of Life, which stands as a testament of his compassion and indomitable spirit for all of us. He has molded us to a sharp but compassionate character and will forever live in our lives. Thank you sir Emmett!

-Manong Jonathan Rilloraza

All those years in high school we had always thought of him as the 'Dictator'... we always took for granted all those preaches he made every morning... but who's really ironic is that every word he said would always linger in our minds and hearts....he taught us respect, he reiterated the true meaning of family, he inculcated in us great values that had helped us mold into who we are right now... He may have gone but the lessons leraned from him will always stick with us that we may continue to be someone he'll be really proud of... we are all his children as he usually says.... "......WE SALUTE THE DAWN!"

-Manang Lorrayne Dyze T. Buking

I feel so fortunate being part of a batch who at least learned a lot about life from a great man even though we never had him as a teacher. Something I still treasure is the moment he told us to take care of the school's traditions because there are things that only a true Science High scholar posesses and knows by heart. He is truly missed not only by us but by all of the people whose lives he has touched and influenced in his own ways.

Farewell to you but not forever...:D Thank You and we Love you Sir Emmett..

-Manang Vanessa Vizcarra

There are over 70 posts, but I only chose a few as so not to lengthen my blog again. :P

Sir Emmett was not only the school's founder, he wasn't only a teacher, or a friend. He was a father to all his students. [=

From what I've heard, he didn't have an immediate family. [I'm not sure if I heard right though.] The Science High family is his family.

Asia's first Science High School. That may be true, but that's not what makes our school so great. Coming from me, our school is so special because of Sir Emmett. [=

From our devotion songs, our major activities, our traditions... everything. These are all things that Sir Emmett left us. It's his legacy. We may not have experienced him being our teacher, or have we met him in person, but we are all very fortunate to be part of his legacy. [=

Sir Emmett believed that learning is not and should not be confined in the the four walls of the classroom. He taught us about life... a journey.

He is the reason why we endlessly practice to be disciplined and respectful. He was strict, and he was a perfectionist, but not in a bad picky way. Because of him, we have Verbum Sat Sapienti. Our school's motto, which, in Latin, means One Word is Enough for the Wise.

He was the one who said Only Great Minds Meet.

A lot of people outside UB may not understand why we grieve so much over his death, but there are things that words can't fully explain

Today, we're going to have a Tribute to Sir Emmett. It's a Sunday, but we're all willing to put on our uniforms and go to school to practice songs and visit him once again. [=

This was something that previous batches were always worried about. The thought always entered their minds during their senior year in Science High, "What if Emmett dies during our year?"

And to think it happens now... It happens to us... The batch who never experienced a single year in High School with the guidance of our beloved Sir Emmett.

I heard Daryll [our Prime Minister] say that since he's gone, we should maintain the Science High's culture and bring back lost Traditions.

Wow... What a challenge. [=

Sir Emmett Brown Asuncion

March 03, 1939 - September 02, 2009

A teacher, a mentor, a father... A friend.

You will always be remembered as the man who made Science High how we are now.

You will be greatly missed. :)

Thank you, Sir Emmett. ^^

...And across the darkness, we salute the dawn.

Fun in the Sun

2009-09-01T20:11:00.004+08:00

Vacation is what you take...

So I have about an hour to make this post and I'm going to sleep. ^^

What did we do today? :D We had FUN!! ^w^ High-Purr! >w<

The SCAs [Student Class Advisers] and Ministers finally had our outing! [= We had it in Paradiso Resort in Aringay, La Union. :D

It wasn't as hot as I expected it to be. It was just warm and it was really breezy. ^w^ I actually went to school at 4:30. :)) I arrived at 5 AM and came just a few seconds before Sonya did. Hahahah! :)) Then Michiko arrived... then Shan.. Then we went to Nalig's house to help carry food and other stuff. :)

Then we went back to school with a few others who carried stuff and saw almost everyone there already. Hahah! :D Then we kept taking pictures and we left for La Union. :D

I was supposed to sit beside Sonya but then.. I didn't wanna be the KJ and ruin a guy's opportunity... So I stayed behind them with Rovie. Hahah! :D I hope you get what I'm saying... I can't say it directly since it's not really my story to tell. :P

Anywayss.. :D When we arrived, we immediately set our things down then had our morning devotion. :D We even sang Bind Us. ^w^

After that I think we started going into the pools. Hahahah! :D But before we entered the pools, we sat down in our hut thingies for a while and cooled off. Hahah! :D

Then I looked near the pool area where some of our batchmates were already getting into the pool and the first person I saw was Kuro Neko... In his swim wear!!! >w< He was wearing shorts and no top at all [like the other guys], and all I could do was stare with eyes glued on him, my mouth wide open, and I couldn't even breathe. Seriously, I tried to breathe, but I couldn't! > . < Nyao~ He's HOT! Hahahah! ^w^

Weeeeeee~ Then that's when we went into the pools. :P At first we were all just standing there doing nothing, watching the others swim. [We practically had the resort all to ourselves since it's a Baguio Holiday (Centennial) and people in La Union have school and work. :P ]

After a while, we got tired of the pools, so while others were cooking lunch, most of us went to the beach. Then we played Tug of War!! :D Hahahah! Best 2 out of 3 rounds. xD

1st round was on the sand... then 2nd and [supposedly] 3rd round was on the water. Ooooh! Hahah! :P Girls and boys were equally distributed, but our team lost in the trial and the first 2 rounds. Hahahah! We're such losers! :)) That meant we didnt need a 3rd round.

So as punishment, we had to roll from the sand, going down to the water. Hahahah! :)) We started at about 3-5 meters from the shore and lay down in a line. Then when they signalled, we girls were so worried about sand getting in our hair, but we went and rolled anyways. Hahahah! :D

At first, I was going slow just to make sure I wouldn't hit Thea or Daryll... Then our bodies started to go slanting so we had to fix our positions, but due to dizziness from rolling so much, we couldn't stop and just kept going and going faster. Hahahah! :)) When I reached the water, I was about to stop, but then I was so dizzy, that when I sat up, I kept falling over. Hahahahah! xD

Even Jam, Thea and Daryll, I couln't see the others though, since we were near the end of the line. :P

After that, I went back to the place near the Hut thingies, then played guitar with Sonya, then we fell asleep at a table under a huge umbrella. Hahah! :D Sometimes the heat just really makes you sleepy. ^^

Then after that was lunch. Hahahah! :D The food was really good. :D It was all grilled and we ate from Pandan leaves [i think that's what they're called.] First thing I ate was Hotdog then a couple slices of cucumber and then a whole lot of Barbecue! :D

Then Rovie started telling me that the barbecue I ate was Dog meat. ]= And I promised myself that I'd never eat dog... EVER! Kind of like how I promised myself that I'd NEVER drink... EVER. > . <

Anywayss... So I kept going around asking people if it really was dog meat and some were told by Rovie to say yes, and some people just really said yes to try and joke me. > . <

Even manong VJ sounded so convincing! Hahahah! :P But yeaa... Kate told me she bought the meat at SM and that it was pork and not dog. [= Hahahahah! :)) And then everyone kept saying "No, it's not dog, they're joking you lang." and stuff like that. :D

Anywayss... after lunch we went to swim again. Hahah! :D

This time, we had games! :D We were at the pool and the first game we played was kind of like a relay. Well... It was a relay. Hahah! :D

At some parts, we had to run in the water, or look for a coin that Caleb threw into the water, some had to run on land and some had to swim. :P

The good swimmers were distributed among the three groups of 10 people and I was in Aeron's group. Yeaa... :)) I chose to be there since he's the best swimmer in our batch. Hahahah! xD

There were 2 rounds and in the first round, I was the one who was tasked to look for the coin underwater. It wasn't that hard to get the coin, it's just that whenever I'd go into the water and reach for the coin, the coin would slip off of my fingers. It took me around 4-5 tries before I got the coin, and it turns out, I got a 10 peso coin when I was supposed to get a 1 peso coin. > . <

But Jillian had the 1 peso coin, and she needed the 10, so we switched. Hahahah! :P Then we ran to our groupmates. Yes... we ran in water... Not swim... Run. Hahah! :P

2nd round, I just ran. :P Probably coz I was really bad at trying to get the coin. :))

Then at the end, the losers had to... [I forgot what it's called] It's like the winners and the 2nd placers would line up in the water with their legs open and the losing group would swim under us one by one. Hahahah! :D It was funn.. coz we were the 2nd placers. :)) So we didn't have to do it. :P

But it felt weird when some people would swim under us and they'd hold our legs or our ankles so they could pull themselves forward. Hahahah! :)) I liked it though when Jam was the one doing it, she didn't touch me and no part of her body, not her back, not her shoulders or arms touched my legs. Hahahah! :))

[Kuro Neko swam under me.. Hahahahahah! xD]

The Ricco went last, he was like... the leader of the team since he was their swimmer. And since he was the last, everyone who he'd already passed left the line... and continued to line up at the back. Hahahah! Just so he'd have to go further. Gosh, the batch trippings. :D

Then after the relay, we played Tag! Hahahahah! xD Not the normal kind of tag. It took really long. Whoever the it is, will tag someone, and that someone would also be it together with the previous one. So as the game goes, there would be more it's. :))

Everyone who was it can tag anyone, but the condition is that those people have to be connected... like holding hands, or linked arms... as long as there's skin contact. It's not as easy as it sounds. :))

I was part of the first 10 to get caught. -.-" Hahahah! After me was Kuro Neko. So I was hoping he'd hold hands with me. [Asa naman :P] But then he went over to the other end of the line and connected with someone else. Aaaaww.. :))

Anywayss... the people who survived in the end was Laika and Aeron. :P

Aeron was the last one we caught though. Hahahah! :P But we still caught him. xD

After that we took pictures of us forning a 10 in the water. :D I forgot when this happened, but we also did that thing that swimmers do when they do synchronized swimming. When they're all out of water then they dive one person after the other. Sonya has pictures and a few videos.

And again, I don't really have any. ]= So I'll wait for them to upload and all. :D [GSP pictures are up... I'll post them when I have time. ^^]

After that we all went to wash up, but some of us decided to go back to the pool coz a lot of people were using the showers. Then I realized I lost my bracelet... The yellow one I'm always wearing... The one Twinkle gave me about two years ago... The one I never take off... Yea, that one. So I went out of the water and started looking everywhere. The manongs and a few batchmats were helping me look for it. Then I went back near the Hut thingies and I found it. :D

Weeeeee~ Hahah! :P

So I went back to the water and swam with the others. I did that swimming thingy where you go really low and swim near the floor of the pool and go up again. [I don't know how to explain it well, but yea :P] I did that in the 4 feet area then went near the edge of the pool.

Then I forgot I was closer to the shallow part, I was in the 3 feet area of the pool and I forgot that I was, so I put my head into the water then I pushed myself down and low enough to be only a few inches away from the floor, but when I opened my eyes under water, I remembered, I was in the shallow area. So the second I opened my eyes, I hit my face... ]=

Yea... it's sad.. I hit my face on the floor of the pool. And when I went up, my lip started to hurt, then I touched it only to find out that it was bleeding. ]=

But I was fine after I washed off the blood for a few minutes. I was even about to go to Cess [Red Cross minister] like what Daryll told me to do, but I didn't anymore since the bleeding stopped and it didn't hurt much anymore.

So yea, that's a rushed story of what happened today. Hahah! xD

The post looks boring coz there aren't any pictures, but I'll post some soon. [=

On the way home, I slept for the whole trip.. :| Hahah! xD I easily get car sick, so I decided to sleep it off. :P

When we got back to Baguio, Sonya woke me up when we reached school, I heard fireworks. Yes, today was Baguio Day... Baguio Centennial, to be exact... :D Baguio City is celebrating its 100th year of... [I don't know the word to use. Hahah! :P]

Anyways, then I took a taxi home, it was 7 something PM so yea. :P

That's it... I'm gonna go get some sleep ^^ I wanna feel the waves and the water's movement around my body like how it was before when I used to swim a lot. ^^ I haven't felt that feeling in a long time. :D Now I'm going to! xD [I bet you know that feeling when you lie down after swimming. ^^]

Goodnighties. ^^

...when you can't take what you've been taking any longer. ü

Word of the Day: EVIL

2009-08-31T17:10:00.006+08:00

Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take...

Today, my sister kept saying how evil the day was. And I agree. Hahahah! :P You'll find out why. xD

Anywayss... Today I watched Up with my sister! ^^ [Nooo... It did't push through last wednesday with my friends, since we found out it was 200 pesos. :| ]

We arrived in SM at around 9:45 just before the gates opened. Then we went over the the ATM to withdraw money so we could watch and blow our money on food! [Not really... we only bought tickets... and food because we had nothing else to do. > . < ] But then the ATM didn't want to give me my money!! > . < So I withdrew a smaller amount and just left.

And before we bought our tickets, we bought pop corn and drinks first.

[I got cheese pop corn and my iced tea is the one with the bitten straw... as always.. hahah! :P]

Then went to the booth to buy our tickets, but while waiting for the ticket booth to open, we saw the times for screening and the first screening was at 12:10. I thought I saw wrong, but I ehard other people say "Huh? 12:10 pa? Tagal naman..." then they left.. -.-"

So we went to the ground floor and took our seats in the food court after buying Plato Wraps.

HAM AND CHEESE! Hahah! :P That's the only flavor I like. :)) And today, I tried the wheat wraps. xD I don't know... I guess I just like wheat stuff better. :))

Anywayss.. then we sat there for about half an hour... Then these SM food court ladies started going around with a cart filled with Buko Pandan, Fruit Salad, and water. Then we were like "I want BUKO PANDAN!!" So we waited for the nice-looking ladies to come near our table... but nothing. They kept going around but not anywhere close to our table. > . <

So I asked my sister if she wanted to share a croissant with me instead of a Buko Pandan. She said yea, so I went to Swiss Baker to buy one. :D

Yuummm!! ^w^ It was so soft and yummy. ^w^ [When I got back form the bake shop and put the croissant on our table, that's when the ladies passed by our table! Peh! > . < ]

We couldn't finish it though... I guess we were too full from the Plato Wraps we had. So we put it back in its plastic and ate it here at home when we got back home. :D

Anywayss... we went back to the top floor where the theaters were. We bought tickets, and we were about to enter when the guy stopped us and told us to wait for the NEXT SCREENING! So we checked the screening hours again and saw that first screening was at 10:40 and the next screening was at 12:30! > . <

No fair!! > . < We waited for more than two hours just to find out it started without us even knowing. > . <

Then we went to the ATM again... This time a different one. And this time, it wouldn't give us any money.. AT ALL! > . < Then a couple of guys from the bank arrived and told us that the ATM was out of money. Bah! > . <

So we went to a different ATM [again] and finally got our money.

Then after that... WE WERE FINALLY ABLE TO WATCH! Hahahahah! ^o^

The tickets and the 3D glasses!! :D It's dark though.. since it's dark in the theater. :P

For the whole movie, I had to rest my head on one of my hands so it could hold the glasses up. Yeaa... they kept falling.. I think it was just mine since my sister's glasses were fine. Hahah! xD

I loved the movie though. ^^ Not coz it was 3D [it wasn't that 3D if you know what I mean], but because at some parts, you'd laugh your heart out, at some parts you can't help but comment on how cute the characters are, and at some parts, you just can't help but cry. [=

Yes... I cried. ^^ But that's why I love it so much. It's been such a long time since I watched a movie that actually managed to let a tear fall. ^^

Waaaa~ WATCH UP!!! :D

It's expensive but it's worth it ^^ Not just coz its 3D. [=

Anywayss... That's it.. I'm kind of rushing right now. :D No school tomorrow, but I'm packing for an outing. ^^

Gonna post pictures tomorrow, don't worry! :D Weeeeee~ I'm gonna be in green tomorrow xD [And to think I'm the girl who hates green candy. :)) ]

Oh well.. SAVE THE EARTH! :D GO GREEN! :P

By the way... Try to look at a McDonald's statue and stare into McDonald's eyes. Trust me... If you notice the make-up below his eyes and notice how wide his eyes are.......... *shudder* Creepy... T~T

Oh! And remember what I said about the manga, Fairy Tail? When I said Gray was hot... I take it back! :D I mean... yea, sure, he's hot... BUT LOKI IS WAAAAYYY HOTTER!!! >w< <3

Goodnight. Hahah! xD

...but the number of moments that take our breath away.

Fresh Artwork

2009-08-29T13:56:00.002+08:00

There's no retirement for an artist...

As you can see... I have a new blog skin! :D I know the previous one was pretty new, but to be honest, I didn't completely make that one. [=

I made the headers, the background... I chose the colors and all, but some of the HTML and CSS was done with the help of a friend. :D

And now that I've mastered it all, I decided to make a blog skin and layout completely created by me. :D

And here it is! :D

I stayed home today just to do that. :D The background and header were made last night and I put them all together this morning. :D

I hope it looks nice though. :D I mean... to me, it does. I just hope that my blog viewers think the same as well. :D

And this kinda meant I had to get rid of my new header... remember the one I was in love with so much? ^w^ I wonder if any of you figured out why. Hahah! :D

Anywayss... That's it for today. :D

Oh! Not yet! Hahahah! :P

Guess what song I learned to play on the guitar recently. :D

That's right... I think you're hearing it right now... Come in with the Rain by Taylor Swift. ^^ I fell in love with that song two years ago and I'm loving it more right now since I learned how to play it on the guitar. :D

That makes it the 4th Taylor Swift song I can play on guitar. ^w^ Weeeee~

...it's your way of living so there's no end to it. ü

Scout Official For A Day

2009-08-28T19:55:00.003+08:00

If I had a world of my own, everything would be nonsense.

So yesterday we, SOFAD candidates, requested for our principal to give us time to review for our SOFAD exam [that we had earlier today.]

She approved, assuring that we were really going to review and not just sit in a room and chat. We tried our best, but in the end, no one really studied that much. Hahahah! :P

We were all in the conference room in school from 10 AM to 5PM. We were all excused from class and were all considered to be on Official Business for almost the whole day. xD

That's a picture of the girls [I don't know what Bianca's doing there though]. The boys were sitting in the corner doing their own business.

At first we were all really reviewing, we had the Girl Scout hand books and a couple of 5 to 10-page handouts that Ma'am Pam gave us to read.

But then we all got bored and started to fall asleep and doodled on the black board and our handouts. Hahahah! :))

Clicky to see my doodles. Hahah! :P

As for today, we were on OB for the whole day coz it was our exams and interview for SOFAD. [Scout Official For A Day] It's where Girl and Boy Scouts have to pass an exam then get to replace City officials for one whole day. :D It seems real fun! Hahah! :P

The exam was far from what I expected though. x_x

We were all concentrated so much in the Girl Scout history, and when we saw our test papers, it was asking for things I've never even heard of before. -.-"

Some parts, I knew. Like the Promise, Law, Vision, Mission, Special Responsibility, Pledge, and parts of a meeting. And the rest, I had to guess. T~T

Then we found out later on that the written exam will only be 10% of everything. :D And the rest were to be taken from the interview and our personalities.

As for the interview afterwards, we were called by school into a room and interviewed individually.

There were ten of us from Science High and unfortunately, I was the last to be interviewed. :|

But it was weird, I wasn't all that nervous. Just that in some parts of the interview, I couldn't find the words I wanted to say. I wonder if that affected my points. O.O I hope not.

Firstly, they asked us to introduce ourselves, then asked what position we would like to have in SOFAD and what we would do if we did get that position.

Shan took the longest, since she was the first. Mine was the shortest, I don't know if it's because I was last and they were already bored, or because they lost interest in me. :| Wah! I feel like they did. T~T

They asked about me, and so I told them about myself. Then they asked what position would be good for me if I were to help people with similar problems as me. Then they asked what position I wanted to occupy in SOFAD. Then that's it. Those weren't the questions I was looking forward to.

I wanted to hear questions like "What position would you like to occupy?" [That was asked, and I answered Coucilor for Peace and Order], "Why?" and "What resolutions would you pass if you were to take that position?"

Waah! Those were the questions they asked my companions, but why not me? T~T I was so ready to answer those questions! T~T

Oh well... After that, the boys were seated in the lobby of the Girl Scout council. Hahah! :P According to them, Sir Alex [their adviser] gave them 50 pesos each and just left them. Hahahahah! :))

We were all in our scouting uniforms, 19 of us all in all. 10 girls, 8 boys, and of course ma'am Pam. :D

We took pictures... LOTS OF THEM! xD But sadly, I forgot my camera AND my phone at home. -.-" Sad.. :|

I'll post pictures once the others post them. :P

After we had our interview and took pictues with the boys, we all went to KFC to have lunch. :D

The girls' lunch was paid for by the petty cash the school gave us, while the boys had to use their own money or the money sir Alex gave them. :P

We stayed there for what seemed like more than an hour. I wouldn't know... I never have a watch with me, and the only thing I use to keep track of time was left at home. > . <

Anyways, when we finished eating, we stayed for a while longer then left to go back to school. But none of us [except Jillian] wanted to go back and have classes, so we went to Ma'am Dep's office and asked if we could clean the campus while we were in our scouting uniforms. :D

Yes, something like a clean-up drive. Because during our interview, one of the Titas asked us how we could keep our environment clean, if we couldn't even keep our campus clean. She said she passed by our school one time when she was on her way to the hospital, and she couldn't help but notice the dirty campus. -.-"

So we cleaned! :D

After that we went back to school and had a meeting so we could discuss stuff about our school's Survival Camp which is going to be held on October, as usual. :D And as usual, it falls on my sister's birthday. :| I don't know how she'll react if I tell her that though. :|

Today was fun. ^w^ Except for the fact that once we changed back to our casual clothes and headed home, we saw litters on the ground again. >:|

Peh! Leave them be... Science High is clean. :P I blame the college students... both UB AND SLU college students. Hahah! :P

Nothing would be what it is, because everything would be what it isn't. ü

What's New?

2009-08-25T21:36:00.003+08:00

Brand new header!! :D Yay! ^w^

I actually have 4 headers stored in my files. I made extras in case I got tired of the others. :P And it's been around a month or two since I got my new blog skin and my first header.

I kind of got sick of the header, so I'm using this one. :D This is the fourth one I made... If I'm not mistaken, I made it last month. :D

First picture is of me and Sonya during Great Minds Meet 2008. When our shutters were brand new. >w<

Second picture shows the balloons from our Banquet last March. ^^

Third picture: Ricco, Sonya and me in my room. [ssshh!! Don't tell my dad I let friends in my room. > . <] That was suring our Noli Me Tangere filming last... January[?] :))

Shooting was at my house and some people had to go upstairs to fix up... and eventually their feet led them to my room. Oh well. Hahahah! :P

Then the picture on the right is a picture of Cocopellie [supposed to be spelled as Kokopeli] in this awesome smoothie cafe called Fuzion. Yuummm!! ^w^ July 28, 2009. Weeee~ ^w^ That's when we got our "Family Name." Hahah! :D

I'm in love with that header.... I wonder why...? ^^ nyao~

Oober short post. Hahah! :D Just wanted to talk about my new header. :))

Oh! And I also wanted to say that tomorrow's our NCAE and I'm watching Up with Inna, Twinkle, Sonya and Nicki afterwards. xD

And to think Nicki swore [twice] that she'd never watch a movie with me and Sonya ever again... Hahahahah! :P

Goodnighties! ^w^

Undrawable

2009-08-24T18:40:00.007+08:00

Probably the difference between man and the monkeys is that the monkeys are merely bored...

First of all... MOZZERELLA STICKS!!! Or cheese sticks which ever you prefer. :))

Yumm!! ^^ Burger night :P Hahah! :D And a really cheesy appetizer to come along with it. ;)

Anywayss... today was really boring. -.-" We had a mock exam for the NCAE. It wasn't that easy but it wasn't hard either. Peh! Who needs to review? Hahah! :))

Then in the afternoon we discussed to questionnaire and the teachers explained... blah blah blah. Boring. -.-"

I ddodled.. a LOT. Then felt reeeeaaaal sleepy. -.-^zzz

Then Caleb was explaining one of his answers to Sir Simon and Sir said "Okay then... Draw it!" as he held out the whiteboard marker to Caleb.

"No, sir! It's... undrawable." Hahahahah! ^^ I don't know. I found the word really cute. :))

Then the rain was stopping a little and it was then drizzling while the sun was out. And by the way the sun was hitting the tiny raindrops slowly falling, the rain looked like Snow. ^w^ I even wrote it down while I doodled, "iT'S SNOWiNG! 1:58 PM"

[I wanted to draw it on my notebook, but like what Caleb said about sand having a little air when it's dropped in the water... Undrawable. Hahahah! :P]

Hahahah! And I kept saying "Oooooh! It's SNOWING!" Every time it came back, and then later on Jacob grabs my notebook and pencil then starts doodling on it as well. He gave it back and I saw a drawing of Bomberman beside my ninja and Robo-Josh drawing. And on another page, was written "Snow? or RAIN?" Hahahahah! :))

Theeeeen... I was falling asleep but I was in the second row, it would've been rude for me to just sleep there. But then I saw a couple of people falling asleep and lying their heads down on their desks... IN FRONT. So I was all "What the heck?" to myself and I decided to sleep as well. But then Jacob slapped me on the shoulder, but I ignored it. Then he poked me at my side, which by the way is my strongest tickle spot, and it woke me up. x_x

Bah! Hahahah! :P

Aaaaand theeeenn... nothing else after that. :))

So I'm going to talk about my Korean friend, Jae-a! ^^

So here's the story: right now, we only have three Koreans in our batch, Da In [Jessica], Seo Hyun [Jane], and Jae-a. :D

Jae-a's my favoriiiite! ^w^ She's really fun to be with. :D

Last year, when she was my classmate, Sonya and I suddenly felt the urge of asking her what her english name was. She said she didn't have one. So we started thinking of one for her. :D

I forgot what the other suggested names were, but my first suggestion was Riley. :)) I like that name. But she said it sounded like a guy's name. So then I said ASHLEY! :))

Then during one of the recitations, she was called, then we went "Ashley!" and Emman said "Bakit Ashley? Dapat Butch!!" Hahahahah! =))

Then we formed this group in class. We're called the Butches. Hahahahah! :))

Butch #1 Jae-a
Butch #2 Sonya
Butch #3 Chinky
Butch #4 Angeli

Yes... The Butches! Hahahah! :D Also known to Electro Chemists as the Four noisy girls at the back. Yes, yes... We were scolded once by a teacher and threatened that Statistics formulas wouldn't be given in the exam because of us. Peh! Screw him... he gave formulas anyways. Hahahah! :))

Anywayss... We even had our Not-Butch, Clarice Gomez. :D

And the Anti-Butch Society, [aka the Non-Butch] Patricia Perez. Hahahah! Not so much of a society if she's the only one in it. But she calls it that, so let's leave it her way. :))

But then this school year, we were kind of separated. Sonya's in Quantum, I'm in Atom, while Angeli and Jae-a are in Wave. :P

And a few weeks ago, Sonya and I kind of [really] got annoyed when we heard that a group of girls started calling Jae-a Ashley or Butch.

We hated it, actually. -.-**

Then Sonya talked to one of the girls and asked why they were calling her Ashley, then the girl said "'Cause she told us it that was her English name."

Aaaaaawww... ^^ And there I was thinking that she hated that name. [=

...............

Aaaaaawww... But she didn't. Hahahah! :))

But the Butch-calling thing... oooohh... that's gotta go. -.-"

Sorry, but for me: Butches only.

...while man has boredom plus imagination. ö

Current Addictions

2009-08-23T15:06:00.005+08:00

"If you have a dream don't wait...

I'm bored... This is, so far, the most boring Sunday I've ever had. > . <

Anywayss... On with the blog post...

So while I'm playing the PSP, it suddenly needs charging, I put it on the couch and charge it. I decided to leave it for a while and let it rest so I grab the laptop and I start to read this manga and play games on my current favorite site but then I set the laptop aside and start playing the DS. Then I realize that I'm currently addicted to several things at the moment. Hahah!

[Gosh! The randomness! >w< ]

And since I have no idea what to blog about today, I'm going to blog about my current addictions. Kudos to Kim Lim who gave me the idea. Hahah! :))

[No specific oder]

So first of all:

Final Fantasy VIII! :D

I know it's an old game on the PlayStation [yes, PlayStaion, not PS2], but I never played that game as a kid, all I played was Harvest Moon, Crash Bandicoot, Chocobo Racing, and a little of Marvel Vs. Capcom and Mortal Kombat. Hahah! :D All the other games, I don't remember.

Anywayss... My brother found this application in the computer that can convert PS games to be compatible with the PSP! ^w^ Awesome, huh? Then he downloaded FF VIII, which takes 2 GB of the PSP's memory. It takes a lot of space but it's worth it. xDDD

Although I kind of have to restart my game. Coz I forgot to draw Siren from Elvoret. -.-" Oh well, I haven't gotten too far yet so I don't really mind restarting for a cause. Hahah! :P

Where was I? Alright... Next is Disgaea! Hahahah! :P

I've always been interested in this game ever since I watched my brother play it on the PS2. But the only problem was that it was turn-based. And after I played Inuyasha: Secret of the Cursed Mask and Suikoden III in the PS2, I realized that turn-based games aren't for me since I get bored with them easily, so I decided to stick with RPG games like Radiata Stories, Kingdom Hearts, Crisis Core and all those other RPG games. :P

Anyways, when I got the DS and finally got my Edge and Micro DS memory card, I decided to try Disgaea: Hour of Darkness. :D And it turned out real nice coz it's not ordinary turn-based. It's a tactical turn-based game where. :D

And if I decide to continue it, we have Disgaea II for the PS2. ^w^

See the Prinnies?! :)) They're the reasons why I spell the word 'dude' as 'dood' coz I found them so cute and real funny whenever my brother played Disgaea on PS2. >w< Cute prinnies! :P They say 'dood' after almost every sentence. =))

And for the DS version, you get to have a Prinny commentator at the top screen right above where the scene is taking place on the lower screen of the DS. It's really cute and often funny since the Prinny comments on everything the characters say, sometimes it ruins a serious moment by trying to make it funny, but it's really cute. Hahahah! >w<

Next!! :D

Fairy Tail! Have you ever heard of that manga before? :D It's awesome you should read it. ^^ Nicki introduced me to it last month if I'm not mistaken and I'm only in the 23rd chapter since I don't have much time to read. :P But it's real funny and the story-line's really cool. xD

I think it's somewhat related to the anime Rave that I watched when I was around 7 or 8 years old. Or they have some kind of connection, probably the same makers or something, since I noticed that in this manga, there's this character named Plue. Then after a few chapters, I realized that he looked exactly the same as the Plue in Rave. :D

And by the way.. Gray is hot! Hahahah! ^w^

*ehem*

So have you ever played Neopets before? :D

Well, in my case, I've played it before when I was 11 until I was a freshman in high school when I was 12. Then I don't know, I guess I suddenly lost interest. And a few days ago, my sister and I got so bored and started going to websites we used to go to when we were kids. Like the websites of Disney, Nickelodeon, Cartoon Network... Even the sites that EverythingGirl supported, like Polly Pocket, Barbie, My Scene, DivaStarz, and all those other kiddy sites. Hahahah! :P

Then after a while we got bored again and remembered Neopets. Gosh, I missed my Uni! ^w^ Hahah! :P Yes, my Neopet was a Uni. I signed in with my username and password [I wrote it down in this notebook I had a long time ago], and started playing games and earning money again. Hahah! :P

I'm starting to get addicted to it... AGAIN. :P I can't stop playing. :))

Anywayss, I better go continue reading Fairy Tail. :P I wanna finish all 148 chapters. :)) I think there's more though, I don't think it's finished yet. :)) I have about 125 chapters left. > . <

Oh well... Better get these eyes reading. :P

“Imperfection is beauty, madness is genius...

I don't think I'm going to post the videos and pictures of Sportsfest from my dad's cameras yet due to one reason:

There's too much! > . <

So instead of waiting for my patience to lengthen, I'm just going to show my stuff off. Remember my July 24 post where I blogged about my stuff? :D And I said I was going to do it once a month, and the time has come once again for me to put my stuff on view. ^w^

First of all I'll show you my necklaces. :D

Kingdom Key!! :D From Kingdom Hearts. Sora's first Key Blade. ^^

New item on wish list!! Life size Kingdom Key ^w^

So who of you guys watch Vampire Knight? Recognize the pendant? It's the mark on Zero's neck. ^^

Next up, Inuyasha! ^^ It's a teenie tiny version of Inuyasha's Tetsusaiga. I've had that since I was a sophomore. :D

And that picture above, obviously, is the Fullmetal Alchemist Binding Seal. :D Also known as the 'thing printed on the back of Ed's coat' :P

Next up is another Fullmetal Alchemist collectible:

Yep! :D A State Alchemist pocket watch! I love that thing. :D I got it the same day as I got the Tetsusaiga [=

So I guess that's it for the Anime corner. ^^ Next up we have this cute souvenir I got from Nicki. ^o^

Yes, she went to Pagudpud Beach last summer. [= And she got me this cute shell and a phone accessory that you see at the lower right part of the shell. :D It says "Lovi Bit" in case you were wondering. :P

[Don't mind the 25 centavo coin.. I had no idea it was there either until I transferred he pictures to the computer. x_x ]

FROGGG!! :D

That's the notebook that I share with my Soul ^^ We write letters to each other through that notebook. It was an organizer thing that I received for Christmas three years ago and I never really used it, so I decided to use it now so I wouldn't have to buy a new one. :D

Panda Hat!! >w< I got that from China during the study tour when we went to the Great Wall. :D Most of us got Panda hats coz they were just too cute to resist. ^w^

The pictures above are pictures of our batch jacket. :D Back and front. I've already showed it in my August 17 blog but I think it deserves to be shown off. Hahah! ^^

I think the picture's a little too... uhh... I can't find the word. Hahah! :P But I made it clickable so you can see it better. :D

Anywayss, that's the giant birthday card I received from my Beijing tour mates during my birthday. ^^ [I miss them..]

Yeaa.. It really bummed me out when I found out I was going to spend my birthday in China. ]= But it was fine when the day came. :D

It was on the fourth day of the tour, so not a lot of people knew me, which means there wasn't any party, cake fight or Karaoke 'til 12 AM like when Florence and John celebrated their birthdays, but it was still a good birthday. :)

As you can see, it's a giant "birthday card" made of scrap paper that my room mates managed to get from the front desk in the lobby of our dorm. :P And although I still wasn't close with a lot of people, all 31 tour mates signed the card. ^^ At least I think so.. Hahah! :P

Waaaiitt....... I don't remember seeing James, Zeus and Sean's names there. >:| Hahahah! :P Oh well.. One of them could be there since there's one "Happy Birthday" there that wasn't signed by anyone. :))

Weeeee~ I love my art supplies! ^^ Painting is love :D It's fun, inspiring, light... and it's pretty! Hahah! :P

See that? It's Mickey's hand! Hahah! :P I got that from Hong Kong Disney Land when we went to China & Hong Kong for summer in 2008. :D

And here's something else I got form HK Disney Land:

It's a key!! :D I love that thing so much ^^ It's a mickey key with the Disney characters as the key's 'teeth' and a 'Hong Kong DisneyLand' thingy hanging on the side. :P

Next up, that's my daily vitamins. :D It's called Vital Life. It's filled with Bible Verses on card strip thingies. :P I pick one out randomly every morning before I start the day. ^^

And this cute funny looking thing? :D I bought it in an underground store in our campus in China. :D I found it really cute so I bought it :)) I didn't know it was a bottle opener. :)) But oh well. :P It came with a partner as well. ^^ If this one's a girl, then the pair is a guy. :D I gave its pair to Berwin, this cute 13-year old kid from the tour ^^

And he said that he promises to always have it with him [he better :)) ] so that next time we see each other, he'll have it with him. Isn't he sweet? ^^ Hahah! :)

Anywayss, I think I've shown too much for this month, but there's just one last thing I wanna show :D

My very own Nintendo DS! ^^ It's a DS Lite from my aunt in Canada. :D We actually already have a white one that we all shared, but we hated it that we had to share it with the two kids we don't like. It may seem selfish, and no offense, but we don't like sharing our things with them. > . <

So our aunt sent each of us our own DS's. :D One for my brother, my two sisters, and of course for me. :))

And lookie!! ^^ My DS skin is Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days! :D Wah! I can't wait 'til that game is released. ^^

Anyways, I guess that's it for today. ^^ I'm gonna earn my Neopet some Neopoints. :)) Can you believe I'm getting addicted to Neopets all over again after 2 years of not touching my account?

nyao~ <3

FINALÉ SFIDATO

2009-08-18T20:22:00.009+08:00

In the beginning, it was fun. In the end, it was all for fun...

SPORTSFEST!! Ö

Wanna hear the story behind our batch name? Alright. Hahah! ^w^ We were searching for names, words, etc. for the batch name. And we thought of Challenged. Specifically, Final Challenged. It has a meaning but this isn't a good place to talk about it. :P Sorry. :D

Anywayss, so I went to this website that could translate any english phrase or even a whole paragraph to different languages. [This is what my friend, Florence, used in China every time we had to write essays in Chinese. Hahah! :P] So I typed in Final Challenged.

Finale Sfidato was what came out and I told Twinkle "Look! This could be a batch name!" Then after that, I don't know what happened, but Finale was scratched out for some reason and our batch name ended up being just Sfidato. Hahah! ^o^

Anyways, can you believe I was in school at 5:20 AM?! Hahahah! :P They said before 6:30, but my sister had to be there at 5:00 and my dad didn't want to bring us separately, so I had to go with my sister. :P

When I got to school, the only seniors there were Pat and Med. ^^ So we stayed inside for a while and the Gianne arrived. For some reason she was craving for Sting [drink]. Hahahah! xD So we went to Kubo, the only place on campus that was open so early in the morning, to buy Gianne's Sting and water for me and Pat. [=

Then we went back to school and saw Leah on the way. Later on, we saw the boys from the Steering Committee. They were all dressed in formal attire and had shades and they stood by the school's entrance like body guards. Hahahah! ^^ So we took pictures :P

There are a lot more other pictures in Gianne's camera. I'm not even sure if the camera was hers or Med's... or Liezl's. Hahah! :P Anyways it's clickable [all the pictures in this post are clickable ^^] so you can see better. ^w^

L-R Some random lady standing in the background, Ading Dan [YDT Director], Chinky, Ading Morel [not sure of spelling.. not even sure if that's his name..! Sorry T~T], Med, Ading Steering boy of Purple [idk his name sorry -.-"], Gianne, Liezl, Ading Marlo [Blue Team Steering], Ading Richmond [Yellow Team Steering xD]

Then Ino arrived! hahah! :P So we went to Yellow Team with Katchy to see how they were doing. We missed them, what could we do? ^^

We saw they had these awesome red lipstick and crosses on their eyes... JOKERS! :D They were all so cute ^^ just like their upper booth! Hahahah! :D Although they didn't have masks.. :P They just looked like jokers with all the lipstick and the junior boys had lipstick all around their mouths like... joker. Hahah! :P

Then Ino and I asked for crosses. >w< Just one each though [= We didn't wanna be a bother to the ading who was putting two crosses on everyone's faces. [=

See the cross? Hahah! ^^ Anywayss, I love the second picture :D I like how the sun looks. ^^

After that we went back to the school's entrance where all the other batchmates were. A lot more people arrived and then we all started taking pictures with the Steering Committee again. :))

First three pictures are with the Body Guards. Hahah! :P And the fourth picture is a picture of our batch jacket from the back. :D

L-R Gianne, Liezl, Med, Chinky

It's pretty easy to spot me in the pictures. xD I'm either doing a double peace sign or a \m/ Hahahah! xD

Those four pictures are from Ange's camera by the way. ^^

And for those who didn't have their jackets yet had to wait in school for Ma'am Dep to open the AVR since all the jackets were there. :P

And at last, she arrived. Hahah! xD These pictures were taken in the AVR:

Left: Vernon and Shan. Vernon with his green hair and Joker Face. :P And Shan with her Wu Shu costume. [Hahah! the music that the wu shu team used for the exhibition was the song that the guys sang during our Beijing Tour ^^]

Right: Me and Ino with our yellow team joker crosses! >w<

After that we all headed to the gym. :D First was Grand Cheer, then Cheer #3, #2, and #1 from all 6 teams, then the entertainment cheer. [= After the cheering part was the Cat Walk thingy for Mr. and Ms. Sportsfest, then intermission numbers from UB Graces, Seniors, and of course.. the FACULTY! Hahahah! ^w^

It was a little disappointing though. ]= Yellow didn't get any awards. ]= I felt so sorry for Yellow when the audience didn't even bother to applaud for them. T~T

Sure, Yellow and Purple never get high points for audience participation since most alumni are only from the four other teams [Yellow and Purple are only 6 years old]. And alumni are only more or less 50-60 percent of the audience and the rest are parents who don't care about the teams and are only there to see their kids perform, which by the way is pretty useless since it's impossible to spot people in the gym during Sportsfest.

But even if that was the case, Purple even got more attention than yellow. ]= Not that it's a bad thing. Well, it kind of is for the members of Yellow team, but I couldn't help but feel sorry for Yellow Team. T~T

After the whole thing, after our dance and the faculty's intermission number, we all went to our old teams and celebrated with them, played with the confetti and everything. It was fun in the end. ^^

I had a whole bunch of confetti in my hands and said that if Yellow won something I'd throw it all over the place. But the sad thing was that the confetti never left my hands until after the awarding when my hands got itchy. ]=

They didn't even win best Entertainment Cheer. ]= I even told myself that even if Yellow lost, Best Entertainment Cheer is what counts. We've had that award ofr years and there it goes. ]= Best Entertainment cheer went to ~~Black Team~~. >~<

[This may be my blog, but I don't think it's my ground to hate on Black Team, so I'm going to leave it here.]

Oh well. In the end it's all about the fun. ^^

1. Black
2. Blue
3. Green
4. Red
5. Yellow
6. Purple

I'm not sure of that yet but, so far, that's the information I've gotten form the adings. [=

YELLOW'S NOT LAST!! xD

Purple might have gotten most disciplined, and Yellow and Red might not have gotten any awards, but that doesn't stop them from going higher! Hahah! xD

Ohh.. yea, that's one more thing.. Red team. ]= For the dry-runs, Red team did pretty good. I wonder what happened? ]=

I'm not going to keep this a secret. I told my cousin [Red team's present Team Leader] that during my brother's time, Red team was the champion. And I told her that if she and her team could bring that back, I'd treat them two 18-inch Yellow Cab pizzas. Hahahah! :P

I was supporting my cousin. Just because we're on different teams that doesn't mean I can't. :D

But when they announced the winners and we found out that Yellow and Red didn't win any awards and that Red wasn't even part of the tops 3, I ran to Red team and gave my cousin a hugggg! ^^ Yellow and Red were on opposite sides of the gym, so I had to run out of the gym and enter through Red Team's side so I wouldn't have to cross the gym floor.

You guys should've seen the look on my cousin's face, she looked like she was about to cry--one of the things she rarely does.

Then I comforted her for a few minutes and ran back to Yellow. ^^

Then Nicki asked for Yellow's Hair Spray thingy that colors the hair. :D It was orange though. [= But it was oober cute. ^^ So Ayel and I asked for some too. ^^ Then our other batchmates did too. Hahah! :P

Although earlier before the Sportsfest started, a few batchmates already had that kind of hairspray in green, complementing our batch jacket. :D

Anyways, I asked Nicki to put some on my hair. :D One side of my hair had a Zig-Zaggie pattern and at the back, I asked her to put a 10 for 2010. ^^

First picture was taken by me and the last picture was taken by Katchy with her phone. Both in the gym. And the other pictures were taken in my room when I got home. Hahah! :P

That's when I realized it was really hard to take a picture of your own back. :P

After I took those pictures, I was supposed to blog about today, but then I started falling asleep, so I put the laptop aside, went up to my room and slept on my bed. Hahahah! :P I put a towel under my head though, I was scared that the color orange might get on my sheets and my pillows. :P That was around 1:30 after lunch. Then I woke up at around 5:30. Hahahah! xD

Then I took a bath and washed off the orange. I lvoed taking a bath! Hahah! The bubbles from the shampoo turned orange! xD It wasn't hard to remove at all. It was like hair gel. Only easier. Hahah! :D

And tomorrow, seniors are required to go to a review thingy for our National Career Assessment Examination [NCAE] on August 26. Originally, we don't have school for tomorrow and Thursday. Friday is a Holiday and Saturday and Sunday are weekends, so it's natural not to go to school. :P

So that makes it a 5-day vacation. But noooo... Ma'am Dep is requiring us to go to school for NCAE reviews. Ugh! > . < What's the point?!?!

NCAE is just like UPCAT, for some people it's even easier. So if we've already taken UPCAT and have already reviewed for it before, I don't see the use of us reviewing for the NCAE. > . <

I don't want to go, and I never planned on going, but sadly, attendance is going to be checked and it's counted as an official school day for us seniors. If it wasn't then I could enjoy the 5-day vacation the way I wanted to. But I guess there's nothing I can do about it now. -.-*

This means I have to wake up early... Shoot. It's 11:27 :P I better go hit the sheets.

Goodnighties! ^w^ Nyao~

...And in between is where it tickles most. ü

Challenged ü

2009-08-17T21:06:00.011+08:00

"I don't ask questions. I just have fun. And don't take life too seriously...

So my day started off alright. Hahahah! :D We had our morning devotion in the gym, and finally, after a really long time, it was a devotion with the whole school. ^^

Then we practiced for grand cheer and had a rundown for the whole Sportsfest. :D

The teams were awesome today. ^w^ But for the dry run, Green team won for best Entertainment Cheer. ]= That has to change tomorrow. T~T Yellow always gets best Entertainment Cheer. ]=

Oh well. I'm with the seniors now, although we're not competing. Hahahah! :D

Then during our break, I saw Kuro Neko with a girl. :) Try reading my July 29 post. The girl that Arian talks about there, is the same girl I saw Kuro Neko with. Gosh, I think something's trying to tell me something. Let's call this girl Blish. Rovie gave her that name today. :P

So here's the story, I let go of Dimples when I found out he was going to court Blish. And when I said I didn't like him anymore, I found out that he decided not to court her. Not that it mattered to me anyways.

Then here I go starting to like Kuro Neko when today I see him with Blish. Bah! > . <

What on earth is up with the guys I like and this girl? ]= I was actually hoping today that Dimples would push through with asking her so she'd stay away from Kuro Neko. But that was probably selfish of me especially since I actually said it out loud to my friends. ]=

We're not a hundred percent sure if he likes her or not, but they spent a lot of time together today. And before today, I didn't think they were even that close of friends that they'd actually share earphones. Moreover, I never even saw them talk to each other much during the past years.

Anyways.. That's not my real topic for today. ^^

We had half day practice today and in the afternoon, the seniors practiced for the batch dance and the seniors' cheer. :D Then we started setting up our props, and so did the lower years for their teams.

During lunch, after the run down of the whole event, Twinkle, Rovie and I went to Nalig's house to check out our props. :D Then we decided to help. I painted a part of the ribbon in our logo [you'll see later on]. Then we went back to school to practice.

I think I got oober hyper because of sniffing the paint a lot back when we were at Nalig's house. So when we started dancing, I kept jumping and all. xD

But when we went to the upper bleachers to practice the Seniors' cheer, I kind of lost all my energy due to fear. Yes, I'm afraid of heights and when we're up there doing our cheer, I can't help but not move so much, I can't even stand up from my position unless I'm holding on to something... or someone. -.-"

This is what the gym looked like before the teams started decorating. There were a few props already, but nothing compared to how any of them looked like when everything was finished. :D [Yes, that's a view from the upper bleachers, where the seniors will be having the Seniors' cheer]

And that's how the lower part looked like before we put up our props. :D

And before I show you the outputs, I wanna show you the cool thingies that the juniors made for their centerpiece. ^^

Then after a while, I started to have a deep craving for snow cones. So I asked Rovie and Twinkle to accompany me to go to FB and buy one. :)) It was my first time to buy a sow cone from the new store in our food court, and it was really good. ^w^ No wonder Inna eats it almost everyday. :))

Yes, that's Rovie in the background. Hahahah! xD

Then the guys started setting up our props in our area and the others were blowing balloons. I tried to blow a white one but i couldn't, then I ehard someone say that the white ones were harder to fill with air compared to the green ones. So I asked for a green one and started to blow it... But nothing. -.-" Waah! I felt like a loser. -.-" Everyone could do it and I couldn't. Hahahah! xD

Anyways, wanna see our logo thingy? :)) Seniors have something like that every year which is made by the seniors themseves. :D Isn't it awesome. ^^ It may not be as good as the previous batches' logos but I love this one. ^^

Clicky! ^o^

And yes, they put tube lights. Hahahah! :P And here comes ma'am Dep saying "I am telling you, those lights are useless and won't be seen tomorrow." But then we were all "Whatever." Hahahah! :P I was anyways. :P

If you turn over the SFID part of Sfidato, [as in turn it upside down] it'll say Dies. :D I think that means TEN in Ilocano. Or Spanish. Or whatever language it is. Hahahah! :P

The seven gears represent our angels, Legatus. :D [only 6 gears in the second picture coz one fell off. They reattached it anyways. :D] 7 because they're batch 2007 ^^

The 4 points in the corners represent our 4 years in Science High. 10 at the back means batch 2010. I don't know which one it is, but Caleb said earlier that something represents UB [our school].

And as for the letter O of Sfidato, it's a clock, Caleb said he didn't really know what it meant. Twinkle said for her, it could represent our memories. I simply thought it meant "Time is Gold" Hahahah! :P

You wanna see the booths? :D Here they are! >w<

1st picture is Green, followed by Purple, Black, then Red.

As for Blue, I had to take 2 separate pictures for upper and lower booth since I couldn't take a full picture.

And for Yellow:

I took a close up picture of the mask since it was so awesome ^^ Don't forget that these works are handmade by the students. :D

The pictures are clickable by the way :P

This year, for best booth, it'll either be Blue or Red. ^^ Their booths are awesome. :D

One more thing! :D

WE FiNALLY GOT OUR BATCH JACKET!!! ^o^

Hahahah! Yea :) In our school, Seniors get to have their own clothes or whatever to "show off." During my brother's time [Batch 2005], all they had was a shirt with their Batch's logo on it. And The year after that, Batch 2006 had a batch jacket and for the next years, Seniors have been using jackets :D

That includes us. Hahahah! :D Wanna see? It's colored black and green. I didn't really like that color. A few weeks ago they were deciding what color it should be and I voted for white and blue. White being the base color since for the past years, the jackets had the color black in it.

And as a personal opinion I didn't want to have black in the jacket again. So I voted for white and blue. I don't know who suggested it though. Not much people liked white and blue. I don't know why, it's either my batchmates really like black, or they have a different idea on what shade of blue it would be.

If it was going to be white and this [#0000EE] shade of blue, then I definitely wouldn't want that. But my idea was more of white and this [#0BB5FF] shade of blue. =|

Oh well. hahah! This one looks pretty much okay. :D

Do you see it? :D In the back part, it has "20" on it and in the front, "10" ^^ 2010.. :D Yay! Hahah! xD

It's not finished yet though. I think these jackets were rushed for Sportsfest. :P After Sportsfest, we're going to have to give them back so they can put our logo and our names on it. And pockets too. Hahah! :P

And I love the hood! It's huge! xD

Anywayss... yea. :P Before we got our jackets, Ino and I were helping out with Yellow team's props then Shan said "Ui! Batch Jacket!" Then i let go of the scissors I was holding and dropped all the crepe paper and shouted "BATCH JACKET!!" Hahahah! :)) Then I started running after the others who were already headed to school. :P

After getting our jackets, we all went back to the gym. We decided to continue helping yellow but they were finished I think. :P

Then ma'am Dep was telling us to finish up and have our chain prayers. We planned on having it with the whole school but then Ma'am Dep said to ahve it by team. We seniors already had our chain prayer earlier so we went to our old YDT teams instead.

And then Harvee said that we should all have the prayer together. So Yellow team extended and linked with the other teams, minutes later everyone was in one area of the gym floor with a few teachers praying along with us. :)

All the YDT body said their prayers and then it reminded me of when we were juniors and our chain prayer lasted what felt like hours. Caleb and a few of the YDT Body even cried since last year was our last Sportsfest with our teams. :) And this time will really be the last. ]=

Anyways, I guess that's it. [= Watching all the teams today and earlier tonight preparing their props and all made me feel real sad. I really missed doing that. ^^ That's the reason why I helped Yellow team in making their props. :D

Alright, I'm going to go sleep. It's 10:44 and I told myself earlier that I'd sleep at 8 so I could wake up early for tomorrow. Hahah! :P

We have to be at school at 6:30 but I'm going to be there at around 5 because my sister has to meet with Blue team at that time. Gosh. -.- Hahah! :P

Goodnighties! ^^ Nyao~

You Just Gotta Love the Merrymaking

2009-08-16T16:27:00.004+08:00

It is good to have an end to journey toward...

1st periodical exams finished last wednesday and none of them were as hard as I thought they would be. Except for Chemistry. Bleh! Fricckin' ~~Organic Chemistry~~ College subjects! > . <

Yes, we're taking college subjects this year, we have Organic Chemistry, Advanced Physics and Calculus. -.-*

Anyways, while we had the practices for our music practicum, I had nothing to do, so I watched Gerlyn play with Aica's hair. Then I started drawing Aica. Hahahah! :D Clicky :P

I don't have a picture of her with the hairstyle Gerlyn did, but it looks like that. Hahah! :P and here's a picture of Aica in case you wanna see how she actually looks like :D

She's the girl on the right :D The one with glasses who happens to be looking... not at the camera.. :)) That picture was taken when we were freshmen, but she looks pretty much the same. :P

So after exams, all we've been doing is practicing for Sportsfest. ^o^

Freshmen to Juniors are practicing with their own teams, while Seniors practice the Grand Cheer [performance by the whole student body], Seniors' Cheer, and our batch dance. :D

Last friday we practiced all three, and while we were dancing, this fruit fell from a tree in the basement of our school. Aica, Gerlyn, Charish and Clarice kept playing with it and tossing it around, and when we were dismissed, ~~Celine~~ Jaja drew a face on it using chalk. Hahahah! :D

Aint it cute? Hahahah! :P I don't know what fruit it was though. They said it was a Suha...? But I'm not sure. Hahahah! :P I don't even know what a Suha is. :))

Anyways, that's it for friday. :P

As for Saturday [yesterday], we were required to go to school for practice, since Sportsfest is on tuesday and we all need loads of practice. Hahahah! :)

I hope yellow team gets better. ]= When I watched their dry-run last wednesday, yellow sort of disappointed me. ]= No offense to the, but yea. T~T

Oh, to those who don't know, I was a Yellow team member during my YDT years. [=

Anyways, this year I'm guessing the winners would be Purple, Red and Black. Not in any order, but those are the three teams that were really good when we watched them at the gym. Blue has a chance too. Green... I'm not so sure. And I'm pretty... under confident about yellow T~T SORRY YELLOW! ]= but yea.. ]=

Back to topic, we were practicing for our Grand cheer and Seniors' Cheer in the basement, then suddenly we could all smell poo. Yea... I think it was because the teachers were fertilizing the ground near the back stairs leading to the basement. -.-" Yeaa, it stunk a lot. But then there was this fruit, [I have no idea where it came from] but Jaja started peeling it and the peelings were being passed around coz it smelled so good and everyone was all "Ooooh!! Ang Bango!"

[Translation: Ooooh! It smells so good!]

And since the basement stunk of horse [?] poop, we all asked for some of the peelings and started sniffing it like kids sniffing rugby on the streets.

There's me sniffing mine. :)) And if you look at the second picture, yu can see Katchy sniffing hers. =))

And today [yes, they even had us go to school on a Sunday :)) ] turned out better than I thought. Hahahah! :P

I was so bummed when I found out that we had to go to school on both weekends. Saturday class was fine, I guess. But Sunday was just... BLEH! > . <

Hahahah! But it turned out fun anyways. :D We all had fun, we did different stuff, we danced a lot, and we cheered. [=

But first of all, Vernon had this really cool shirt he made :D It has Sfidato written on the front part and the names of all our batchmates in the back part. I'm not sure if all the names are there, but yea. :D If he could fit 115 people then I guess we all are. :P

You can easily find my name near the center of the second line of names. :D Hahahah! I'm gonna ask him to make me one too ^^ Buuut, I need to provide my own shirt. Hahah! And 50 Pesos. :P

And then everyone started to play with Laika's hula hoop. Hahahah! :D

Picture on the left=Laika. Right=Ariel [my front-door neighbor. Hahah! :P]

Then when I looked behind me I saw Arcel and Jaja doing this fight thingy. Hahahah! I think they were trying to imitate some kind of show or game, but they were fighting. Hahahah! :P

Nicki has all the good shots, I only got this one. [Again, I used a camera phone. Sorry, but my digital camera is very unreliable right now. ]= ]

As you can see, Jaja's hair is going all crazy again. Hahahah! xD And Arcel is either scared of getting hit or he's TRYiNG to do a fighting pose. =))

Then in the morning all we did was practice our dance. :D Yess! Dancing is the bomb! Hahahah! :D

We finally learned the Jai Ho part of the dance last friday and a lot of people still don't get it s Twinkle and I started teaching a bunch of people earlier. :P

As said in previous posts, we're going to dance to Insomnia, then guys dance Single Ladies, then Girls dance Beat It, and again, everyone dances to Jai Ho. :D And at the end, Daryll [our prime minister] along with his friends will have their solo dance then everyone enters to finish the song. And after Jai Ho, the guys are going to dance Billie Jean. I'm not sure if it'll push through, but yea. :)) I wanna see it happen. xD

Those are the guys dancing Single Ladies. Don't get me wrong, that's only 3 of about 40-50 guys in the batch. Hahahah! :P

Guy in front is Gary. The one wearing shades is Vergel. And behind Gary is DN. :))

Anywayss, while everyone else was resting from all that dancing, Twinkle and I started dancing inside the classroom while some were being watched my Harvee. [The ones who couldn't do it well, and the ones who didn't memorize the dance were asked to dance it again and again 'til they did it right. :P ]

Twinkle and I started dancing to the music and went outside the classroom and kept dancing. Yeaaa... we were really hyper. Hahahah! :P Then a bunch of people started dancing as well. :)) We even danced the guys' dance. :P Yes, I actually memorize Single Ladies just by watching the boys. Hahahah! ^w^ It was really fun today.

And in the afternoon we did grand cheer and seniors' cheer. :D

Alright, I better get to sleep... But before that! I have something to say. :))

I don't like Dimples anymore. :P I'm over him. After years. I know, I was waiting for nothing, so I decided to give up waiting for... whatever I was waiting for. :P

Anyways, now I like someone else. ^^ I've already thought of a nickname for him [Thanks to Kate-Chan for helping me think of a nickname for him. Hahah! :D] Kuro Neko which means Black Cat. :D Why? It's because he was there when something really unlucky happened to me. Black Cat. Black cats are unlucky. Hahahah! :D

And he can be my Natsume... or my Train Heartnet!! <3 Nyao!! ^w^

Blog Post Done! :)) Finally :P This was a pretty long one... Sorry for stealing your time :D Good Nighties! ^w^

...but it is the journey that matters in the end. ö

Exasperating Hassle

2009-08-09T16:53:00.006+08:00

First of all, to match my mood with the blog's atmosphere, I've changed the song. And if you take a look at the images below, you'll see a few lyrics taken from the song. It's called Simple Song by Miley Cyrus. I don't really listen to her songs that much, but the lyrics say it all. -.-"

[I didn't make those. I could've made my own, but I don't really have the time right now.]

Tomorrow is the start of our first periodical exams, and I've yet to run my eyes over 7 more stories in Filipino. Bah! I don't think I can finish them all by tomorrow. ]= I've read and understood 4 stories, and I partly understand one story. 7 left to read and make sense of. T~T

I can do this! ^o^ Hahahahah! :P

And for debate, I have no idea what we're supposed to be studying. =/ For the whole first grading, all we did was deliver a couple or three speeches to the class and submit a [written] oratorical speech [which, by the way, haven't been submitted yet due to the typhoon].

Then our teacher gave us handouts that I don't think will even help much in the exams. At least that's what I think so, I haven't bothered laying a finger on it.

As for Physics, I heard just recently that the problem set was due friday. AFTER exams. How bothersome, I've had my eyes and my pen and go back and forth at my handout, to my blank sheet of paper and then to my scrap paper for about an hour, trying to solve those deadly Physics problems.

Now here comes Twinkle saying that it's due friday! Can you believe that? -.-" I could've started reading filipino an hour ago. > . <

And we haven't even completed all the lessons for physics yet because of the frickin' typhoon! x[ I hope sir Chris makes considerations for the exams. -.-'

I have to get good grades. ]= Or at least pass everything. I have to comply with my MOA [Memorandum of Agreement] or else I won't be allowed to join any school activities for second grading. ]=

---------------

Rewind. Rewind. Rewind.

Okay, so today, I woke up to the voice of my grandmother downstairs. O.O I knoooow! And we all know what that means. So I quickly got up and stuffed all my trash into the trash can, shoved all my mess into to cabinet and arranged all my papers on the floor.

I fixed my bed; flattened my blanket and arranged my pillows. Then took a shower.

Yess... If you remember from my post from months ago [I don't remember which one], I mention there how much of a neat freak my grandmother is. x_x

Well, so is my dad's girlfriend [who happens to be living in OUR hous with her kids.. x( ] But with her, when she comments about my room being messy, I just say that I'm fine with it that way and she leaves me alone. Easy as that.

But right before I finished taking a bath, my grandma left, so I wasn't able to see her. Then we went to church. And this is where my day starts. ^^

I saw a cute, chubby kid with curly hair playing around by the seats near us. Hahahah! ^w^ Honestly, I thought the kid was a boy with long hair... =/ But either way, she was cute. Hahahaha! >w<

Then later on, right before Communion, me and my sister saw a kid [this time it was boy :P] wearing a yellow jacket go to the center of the aisle, face our direction, then started picking his nose! Hahahahaha! >u<

It would've been disgusting if it were some ordinary grown person doing that, but it was a cute little boy, we couldn't help but giggle at the kid. Hahahaha! :P

Then we went to SM to eat lunch at Teriyaki Boy!!! :D Hahahah! :P I ordered an Ebi Tempura Ramen and a watermelon shake. Yumm! Hahahah! :P

Yeaa.. the glass was so tall, the straw sank in little by little. Hahahahah! :P

And here's the ramen

It was goood! Hahahah! xD But I like the ramen that we had in Hong Kong last summer better! ^w^ It had fish cakes! Hahahahah! :P It was wayy better than this.. and I think it was even better than the ramen in Hamada. :P

By the way, Hamada is the best Japanese restaurant in Baguio. >u< We don't go there often since it's expensive, but when we do, we order this thing called a Sushi Boat. :D They serve it on this boat, probably two feet long and it has tons of different kinds of sushi on it. ^w^

But yeaa.. not a lot of people I know go there since you'll need to have a membership in Baguio Country Club. :P So yea. :D

Anywayss... while waiting for our orders, me and my sister started playing Tic-Tac-Toe! :D

[clickable]

When we were kids, we used to always play this, usually in restaurants with chopsticks. Hahahah! :P

But it wouldn't be X's versus O's. It would be tissue versus plastic. Hahahahah! :P Y'know how chopsticks are always in stretchy kind of translucent plastic when it's on your table? Yeaa.. Hahahah! xD

I won this round! :D I was plastic and my sister was tissue. :P

But then we stopped playing when the two annoying kids in front of us copied what we were doing. Ugh. -.-* I can't live with those two and their mom forever! > . < They'll be the ones to blame if me and my little sister grow up to be crazy, cranky old ladies. > . <

Yes, I'm not alone. My little sister hates them as well.

Anywayss, after that me and my sister asked if we could go home ahead so we could review for exams tomorrow. So yea, we went home ahead with our older brother and our older sister stayed with them.

The second I got home, I changed to my home clothes and signed in to YM. I chatted with a few people before I started doing my physics problem set.

And that's when the first part of my post comes in. *points up to first few paragraphs of today's post*

So here I am blogging when I'm supposed to be reading that filipino book. -.-"

Please wish me luck and pray for me.. ^^

Chilly Waking Hours

2009-08-07T10:33:00.005+08:00

Check out this cute picture I found on PhotoBucket! :D

[L-R.. Axel, Namine, Roxas]

By the way, just to correct some of my blog viewers. Some people have been pronouncing Roxas' name as 'Rohas'.. but no.. Come on guys, he's not Filipino. You read it as is. 'Roksas' Got it memorized? Hahahah! Aryt :P

So I woke up this morning to the wind blowing into my window, against my curtains and through my supposedly warm blanket as I heard my sister ask me if we were going to have classes today. I told her to wait so I could check my phone for messages. I saw tons of Goodnights that I missed last night and a few good morning GMs, then saw a message from Cess that said "Cancelled classes again. Weh."

So I told my sister "Nope." I put my phone down and back under my pillow where it slept. Then she asked if I was sure then I said "Cess is a minister. If there ARE classes today and people ask us why we didn't go to school, we can just say that Cess texted me." Then I went back to sleep.

Anywayss, I'm pretty ticked off by this typhoon that's been with us since wednesday night. Normally, your typical high school student would be jumping in joy because they didn't have to go to school today.

But no. It's a whole different story for me. Imagine... yesterday, you had no idea how happy I was there was a typhoon. But then later at night I realized I hadn't done my oratorical speech for debate yet, which, by the way, was supposed to be due first period today. > . <

I stayed up 'til 11 doing it. [Yes, 11:00, for me, is late. In fact for school nights, 10:30 is pretty late as well. -.-"] I had just finished the whole thing and due to panicking, I hadn't saved my work. Not once for the whole time I was typing it. My last 4 paragraphs were the best ones, since it's where I end my speech and try to leave a good impression to my audience.

And here I was, about to press the keys Command + S to save my speech. A split second before I was able to, the lights went out and the computer died! Gaaaahh!! D:<

I could've been using this laptop I'm using right now, but my sister was using it. > . < When I turned the computer back on, there was an auto recovery thing. I clicked on it, and all it recovered was my unedited draft. And... I lost my last three paragraphs! Bah!! > . <

---------------

I'm back.. Sorry.. Power went out for about 5 hours. -.-"

As I was saying... I was so ready for school today. ]= I wanted all our lessons to finish, so I'd be able to review well, but noooo... Ugh! -.-" We have our exams on August 10-12, and we haven't even finished all our physics and chemistry lessons. ]= Now I'm worrying. T~T

Although I'm pretty confident about physics this year. :D Last year, physics was a cutthroat, I never did understand what sir Ryan was talking about. But this year, although the lessons are harder and more advanced, they're easier to understand because of the new teacher. [= That's for me though. I don't know what the others think of Sir Chris, but I like him. :D

Another thing that torments me is Calculus. I have a deep-seated aversion to Calculus. x[ Call me crazy, but I miss ma'am Sai. :P gasp! Hahahah! :P She was our Analytic Geometry teacher last year, she was pretty boring, and I almost failed her subject, but I feel like she'd be a better teacher than the teacher we have now. =/

Nothing much to say right now, I just really felt like blogging.. ^o^ Okaayyss..

Checklist of stuff to do this weekend:

Health Homework

Physics Problem Set

Edit Oratorical Speech

Val. Ed. Hugs

Wow, it's taking me a long time to post this blog. -.-" [Started at 10 AM] Power keeps going on and off, and it kills our internet connection. =|

---------------
Internet's back and it better be staying for good. I can't stand it going on and off, and my IM conversations being cut off. Stupid typhoon. -.-"

What's Up, Doc?

2009-08-05T17:19:00.003+08:00

Okayy... I could've posted hours ago, but I was a little busy helping a friend with her problem. [= Oh well.. [=

I wasn't able to blog yesterday, so I'm going to tell you a few things that happened yesterday. Not much, so yea. :D

While having SCA duty, Jaja offered me chocolate! hahahah!

It was really small though, but it was gooooood! ^w^ Hahahah! :P Actually we're not allowed to eat during Sacred Silence, but this was just once... [= Ok, ok.. I've eaten pandesal during Sacred Silence once... But that's it! :D [And to think I tell the adings not to eat during Sacred Silence... -.-" ]

Then later, we had our practicum for PE, since we're not having a written exam. All we had to do was dance our batch dance [the dance we're going to present during Sportsfest] and that's it. :D We were grouped alphabetically. So I was with Gianne, Jam, Thea [Martin], Jane [Maeng (Korean)], and Jaja. :D They let me stay in the front, and since being in the front means you have no one to copy from, I had to concentrate real hard. But then in the farther part of the dance, I messed up. Hahah! So we all had to repeat that one part. -.-" [Sorry guys. :P]

Anyways, then I got a small tummy ache. Then my head started to hurt, so I rested my head on my desk during our last subject, since we weren't doing anything. Then while I was lying down, my tummy started hurting more. T~T

So I stood up to get my jacket on my seat, then went back to Twinkle and fell asleep. Yea, I fell asleep. Next thing I knew, when I woke up, the boys were behind me, singing along with the guitar, as usual. But I remained with my head down, since my head still hurt, real bad. My tummy ache was gone, though.

Then I heard Sir Dio announce something in the PA. So I followed what he said and went to Ma'am Mash to get my Ateneo forms that I paid for last week. :D

Then I headed home, my dad fetched us, and he introduced this kind of candy to us. It's called Tira-Tira my dad said that candy was really popular during his time. He was surprised when he saw that candy in a store. :P

By the way, Tira-Tira is like a long stick thingy that's made out of pure sugar. Hahah! xD I love iiiit! :P To people who aren't fans of sweet things [like Sonya :)) ] then this candy isn't for you. :P

If you know what Mascobado Sugar tastes like, then you'd know what this candy tastes like! xD It's a little hard, but it's easy to bite through it. It's like they just put the sugar together to make it whole, then sell it as candy. :P

Hahah! xD Yea, I got addicted to it.. Except we only had one pack of it, I ate the second to the last piece earlier today. :P

And earlier last night, I finally put my Death Note to good use. ^^ Yes, I have a Death Note from comic alley. It was bought on May 23. The day after I arrived from China. [= But then when I saw it in our hotel room in manila, I realized it was dark grayish silver, and not black like how it's supposed to be. -.-" But oh well.. :D

Anywayss, I'm putting it to good use, and I've decided to write down all my guitar tabs into this notebook. :) One song fits perfectly in one page, so none of the pages would go to waste. [=

1st to 3rd pictures show what the Death Note looks like, and what's written in it.

The 4th picture shows what I've already written in it last night. :D

----------------

Now on to the blog that's meant for today. Atom [Atomic Physicists ---> our class] practiced for our music practicum which will be tomorrow. No one was allowed to be in school today, since it was a non-working holiday, but we went there to practice anyways. :P Although not everyone was there... =/

We're supposed to sing modern songs and turn them into gregorian chants. :)) We didn't really do that with some songs. We got a little lazy, especially for "Boom De Yada." Daryll was all, "Kahit wag na! Basta may makanta tayo bukas!" Hahahah! xD So yea. :P

Then after that, we all went to eat lunch at Kubo. :D It's this place in campus that sells really cheap [but good] food. :D I ate there with Twinkle, Charish, Aica, Gerlyn, Daryll and Ricco. :))

We kept laughing because of certain things that somehow sounded perverted once you hear it a different way. :)) Anwyayss... let's skip this part! xD

Then we went to go buy bunnies for our IP. [Me, Twinkle, Gerlyn, Charish and Aica] We went to the pet store near the market and bought four bunnies! ^^ Then we put them in a big box.

Then I got dibs on the white bunny. :D But there's a different story to that. I'll get to it later. > . <

Then we went to a grocery store to ask for boxes, but unfortunately they didn't have any. So we went to the store inside Mercury Drug to ask for boxes. Then yea, we looked for small ones for about 5-10 minutes.

Then we kept them in the big box since it was raining. We all took a taxi to go back to school so we could transfer them to their own boxes. ^^

[The pic on the right shows the bunny licking Aica's arm. She kept laughing at how ticklish it was. Hahahah! ^o^]

As I was saying, I got dibs on the white one and I was supposed to call it Mokona or Namine. xD But when I tried to carry it [which i was really scared to do], it scratched me a little, then it kept jumping almost dropped it. Then I put it back in the box and tried to carry it again, but before I could even hold it, it jumped out of the box. T~T And it also had a wound on its leg, near its paw.. So I was scared to take care of it. ]=

So I switched with Aica, and I got the brown one instead. [Thanks Aica! ^^]

I named it Sora :D Aica named the white one Hiruki, Gerlyn named hers [the dark gray one] Suki, and as for Char... I don't know what she named hers.. Hahah! :P But she got the light gray one. :D

Yes, I know. I have this thing wherein I'm starting to name everything after KH characters. Hahah! xD For example, my guitar, my guitar picks, my characters [for our literature homework, we had to make our own story of how the world was created], and now a bunny. Hahahah! xD

Anyways, we're each taking care of one [except Twinkle], and we'll be bringing them to school everyday.

I'm still scared of carrying the bunny though. ]= It feels so soft and delicate, I feel like I might break it... ]=

By the way, for our project, we're gonna ahve to give the bunnies kidney stones.. T~T yes, kidney stones. Sad, huh? So hopefully our thesis will be a success and we get to cure them with the common Plantain. [= [Plantago Aristata]

Anyways, when I got home, they asked me what was in the box. Then I opened it and they saw this cute little bunny! ^^

Hahah! :D Then my dad's girlfriend [by the way, she moved in with her kids last summer while my brother and I were in China. -.-"] told me she had an old bird cage down in the garage. She said it would be better to keep him there than in a box. So I said ok. It makes a good bunny cage though. :D I think she just took out the stuff that the birds sit on, and it could be used for a bunny. ^^

And I took a picture of it eating!! ^o^ Kawaii!! ^^

And that's the cage! Hahah! xD

Anywayss, I'm gonna go clean its tray. :) It's full of poo. :))

One Down!

2009-08-02T20:04:00.006+08:00

First of all... LOOK AT MY DRAWING!! xD

Clicky if you can't see it well. xD

Now, let's get to the part where I tell you what happened today! :D

----

UPCAT is finally over! Hahah! xD [although I have about 4 or 5 more exams before it all ends :P ] It wasn't as hard as I thought it would be, but yea. I still had trouble with the filipino parts :D

Today, I woke up at 7 coz they said we'd go the Church at 8.. So I got ready and stuff, I even rushed but then everyone else ended up waking up late, so they said they'd go to Church at 11.. So that would be after they dropped me off UP. ]= Too bad.. T~T

I even told myself I'd go to Church before the exam.. ]= Oh well.. [= I prayed and had my daily dose of Bible Vitamins [=

That's right, last year, I bought this thing from the Christian Bookstore near school. It's called Vital Life for Women. Its container looks like a medicine bottle. :D And if you open it, it's filled with bible verses. I'm gonna show them to you next month once I show my stuff off again. xD

Anyways, back to reality, I arrived in UP at around 11:15. The exam was at 12:30, so I was really early. -.-" Then after a few minutes, Anthony arrived. He said his exam was supposed to be this morning at 6:30 but he woke up at seven, so he was hoping he could take it in the afternoon. Hahahah! :P

When he arrived, it was 11:30 and they asked us to start falling in line, so we were in line together. Then a few batchmates arrived 20 minutes later. Then they just kept coming and coming. :P

Then later on, I saw a few batchmates come, I don't know why they were there, but they were done with their exam. After a few minutes, they were leaving then I looked at them, and they saw me. Probably 50 [or even more] feet away from where Anthony and I were standing, I could see Angeli point at me, then call Rovie, then they start shouting "Look! It's Chinky! Go Chinky! Good Luck!"

They were so loud, so all I did was smile and wave. Hahahahah! >w<

Sonya was the last batchmate to arrive, I think. She got there when we were all counting off. I even saw a few of my batchmates from Mount Carmel [my elementary school], Erinne and Elisiah. And I recognized a couple of their transferees, Cara and Junia. [=

Then, the exam started.. I'm not sure what time, since we weren't allowed to have our cellphones with us. But it was definitely past 12:30 when we entered the hall.

3009485! Yes, that was the number of my test booklet! Hahahah! xD

Anthony and I were seated in the front row. Front, meaning.... FRONT! Hahah! :D I guess that's what we get for being so early. :p

The exam was fine, I guess. :P I just really hated the filipino parts.. o.O Gosh! Those words! Hahahah! =))

Everyone had a hard time in math. =/ I don't know why. I loved the geometry and algebra parts. I just hated the analytic geometry, y'know, with the slopes and all, but disregarding that, math was easy. It was biology and filipino that i had a hard time with. T~T

Reading comprehension was... nyeh.. It was boring and it made me so impatient. Hahah! xD For every 5-10 items, you'd have to read these really long selections that would just pull your eyelids down. Hahahah! xD

And that was in both english AND tagalog. T~T I couldn't survive the english part... What more with the filiino part? I could feel myself slowly being killed. T~T

Oh well, it's UP. Hahah! I'm not after that college anyways. :P So let's all do better with ACET! Hahahah! xD

Yesterday, I went up to my room to review, then I spotted my water color and my paintbrushes. Aaand... with my very short attention span, after reading only 2 pages of the biology part in my reviewer, I left my Powerminds book to lie on my bed as I sat on the floor...... and started painting. Yes... I actually left my reviewer alone just so I could paint. Hahahah! :P

But it turned out nice! xD I painted our uniform :D

[This is different from the drawing up there. [= ]

I cut the head in the picture since it got all messed up, and after painting it, I realized how freakishly, huge it was [not in a cute big-headed-chibi kind of way]. >~<

Ao yea, basically, that's how our school uniform looks like. [Red and Gray it shall always be!] :D For the girls anyway xD next time, I'ma do the guys' uniform ^w^

I forgot to paint the pocket part though :D it's supposed to be red. If you can see the white line at the side of the skirt, then that's the supposedly red pocket. :D

Then after that, I realized I had to review, so I opened my Powerminds reviewer:

I reviewed the Science part the most since that was what I was scared of. Then reviewed english and math a little.

But then today, for the exam, I realized that the Powerminds book didn't really help. From a scale of 1-10, I'd say it only heped me as much as 3-4... -.-"

So for ACET [Ateneo] I'm going to use the MSA reviewers that can be bought in National Bookstore. Not the cheap photocopied kind of reviewer given by a review center. x[

Hahahah! No, I'm not mad. Hahah! :P I just want to study harder for ACET that's all. xD

Anywayss, I'm gonna go get some rest. It's monday [again] tomorrow. -.-" And I haven't even gotten the chance to do our Literature homework yet... =/

Sheesh..! Hahah! :P Oh well, I guess I'll have to rush it tomorrow. [= Goodnighties! :D

I Got My Fun Fun!

2009-07-31T21:20:00.004+08:00

Part i

Wasn't able to blog yesterday, so I'm going to give you a short, short [and i mean short] narration about what I did yesterday. :D

We had computer class in the morning, and in the computer lab, Twinkle and I suddenly saw a ping pong ball bounce toward us and to the door, I went after it and kept it since I don't think anyone was claiming or looking for it. :p

Later on, I wrote stuff on the ball. First, I drew a smiley. Then my name "CHiNKY" [no picture of that though], then Sfidato, 2k10, and last, but no the least, Carpe Diem! ^^

And yesterday for lunch, guess what I ate? No, you can't guess.. :D I ate ONIGIRI! ^w^

Sorry the pictures are too... bright.. I tried editing the brightness and all, but it didn't work. Quantum's classroom is so bright, that when i tried taking pictures, it would make it brighter. [Remember my camera's problem?] Yeaa... -.-"

There's this Japanese store that opened in our school's Food Court just recently and I've only gone there now. 'Cause I don't think the people I go with to lunch are as into japanese food as I am... ^^"

And since the teachers had a meeting, we had shortened periods the whole day and had YDT [Youth Development Training] from 3-5 PM. It's where we practice for Sportsfest. [= Freshmen-Juniors went to their own teams and practiced while Seniors practiced for the Grand Cheer. That's the part of Sportsfest where the whole school cheers. :D

Although after that, classes with the 5-6 schedule still had to go to class. Our class was one of them... -.-"

Part II

Started my day with a plate of Pancakes topped with bananas... Chocolate, and Strawberry syrup! Hahahah! xD Yumm :P And yes, my dad allows me to have sweets for breakfast.. xD At least I think he does... :))

Today at school, we barely did anything. We had shortened periods again and a lot of our batchmates went home because they had to review for UPCAT.

For debate, we had our Demonstrative Speeches that were supposed to be delivered last week. I planned on doing "How to Write in Chinese" That's why I had Wo Ai Ni written on my hand last week, since that's when we were supposed to have our Demo Speech. But then we ran out of time and I wasn't able to deliver my speech, so we continued it today. I changed my mind and decided to teach the class How to play the Poi Balls! :D

To those who dance or know about Hawaiian Dancing, you'll know what Poi Balls are. :D They're these white soft balls that are attached to strings. I don't have a picture right now, I'll show you next time. :D And it's one of the props to a kind of Maori Dance. :D [Hawaiian Dancing] Yes, I used to dance Hawaiian. :D

Anyways, after that we didn't really do anything in school, we just reviewed for UPCAT most of the time and practiced the batch dance a little, then went home. :D

We were allowed to go home at lunch and have half day so we could review, I was supposed to go home, but then I remembered we had Physics today. And I couldn't afford to miss Physics, so I stayed. But during Physics, we ended up not doing anything. T~T I could've gone home. Although my friends and I reviewed UPCAT instead, so I guess it was alright. [=

Then after school, I [finally] had my first Painting Class. Hahah! xD One month ago, when I first met my teacher, she asked me to paint a simple landscape and try to paint one of my anime drawings. So I did. And this is how they turned out.

As you can see, it's a sea shore. Hahah! I had no idea what other [simple] landscape I could paint. SO I painted this. :D

And I also painted Mokona! xD It turned out ~~a little~~ all messed up, though. > . <

Oh well, it was worth a try. Hahah! xD

Anyways, today in art class, I was taught how to do washes. It's a kind of water coloring where you paint the whole paper with just one shade of a color, and the color has to be constant all throughout the page. It's not that easy. Hahah! xD Here's a picture :p

The brown tape-like frame around the paper is called "paper tape". It's something you put at the side of a paper so you can have a margin. You can paint over it as much as you want, and when you take it off, it'll still be plain white at the edges of your paper, giving you a perfect margin. :D

As you can see, my wash isn't that good. The color is uneven, and the color fades as the strokes go farther. -.-" I didn't know I could repeat my strokes. Hahah! xD Oh well.. :p

Next, my teacher taught me how to paint a sunset. I don't have a picture of it, she just taught me the basics, so it's not that photogenic. Hahah! xD

Next, she asked me to draw a simple anime character, but I was too shy to do that, I felt that it wouldn't be that good, so she drew one instead. Then she asked me to paint it, with washes, shadows, and everything else. Of course, I did it with her help. :p

That's how it looks like... The background is red [yes.. it's red.. not pink.]

And when I got home, I found that my bed got bigger! Wahah! xD Okay, so my bed was a single bed that was meant for me when I was 11... That's when our grandparents got this house made for us. We were supposed to move in by then, but only ended up moving in last year. Hahah! :p I haven't lived in this house for a whole year yet, so yea. :D

My old bed was really small, my feet hung off the edge of the bed whenever I was sleeping, so since the house is being renovated at some areas [since certain people moved in 3-4 months ago], my dad's getting a new bed and all. So I got his old one. Hahah! xD He said it was too small for them. I don't know why he said that, but ti looks big enough for me! Hahahah! :p

Oh... right.. picture! :D Here! :D

I have a picture of how my room looks like with the smaller bed, but it's in the other computer, so I'ma post that some other time. xD

I think this blog post has gotten long enough, I'm gonna go get some sleep so I can review well for my UPCAT [University of the Philippines College Admission Test]. Wish me luck guys. ^^ Pray for me please :D Although I'm after Ateneo, it would still be great if I passed the UPCAT. Hahah! :D

My UPCAT is on Sunday, and I'm going to spend tomorrow reviewing. If I survive. :p

Good Night! :D

All Mixed Up

2009-07-29T19:22:00.006+08:00

Okay, so today, during Physics, I found out something really heartbreaking. T~T

So here it goes. We had a group work in Physics and I was group mates with Arian. Then she started asking me things:

Arian: Chinky, crush mo pa rin si Cabz? [yes, we all know who this is]
Chinky: Umm... medyo.. I guess.. yea.
Arian: Ganun? Wala nang iba? Sa class? Sa batch?
Chinky: Nope.
Arian: Hahah! Bakit? Lahat naman kasi taken na eh. Di ba si Cabz MU na sila ni *******?

I'd rather not mention her name, but yea. ]= I had no idea, and I guess several people knew at that time. I even told Sonya about it, and according to her, she already knew about it before. T~T

Jaja kept saying sorry to me. I don't know why, probably sorry 'cause she didn't tell me, or maybe she just really felt sorry for me. Hahah! :p

And after lunch, I also asked Pres about it:

Chinky: Pres, can I ask you something?
Pres: Yea? What?
Chinky: Are Cabz and ******* like..........
Pres: Umm.. It depends, how? What do you mean?
Chinky: They're MU daw?
Pres: Umm... yeaaa... I know *******'s side, but not Cabz's side, so yea. She really likes him daw eh.
Chinky: Oh.. I see.. Thank you.
Pres: Ala! I won't tell you nalang! Sorry Chinky. Baka you'll be sad pa..!

Yeaa.. When she said that, I kind of felt like crying. My eyes started to tear-up, but luckily none of the tears fell. I didn't want to cry over something so unreasonable.

It's not like I ever expected him to like me back or anything, but it's just that I've liked him a really long time and I've heard about him liking a lot of other girls before. I guess it's alright. I felt so wrapped-up in myself that I didn't want him to like anyone, moreover, to actually be with anyone.

Oh, but have I told you? I don't think so. SO I'm going to tell you right now. Cabz transferred schools. He's in Berkeley now because of 7 failing grades. I know, right?

Anywayss, he comes to visit his friends in our school a few times a week, I guess. So yea.. This is what Sonya had to say about it:

"Distance is supposed to help you move on!! How are you suppoed to do that if he keeps coming back?!"

Yeaa.. Hahah! xD And I found an icon of Axel and Roxas on photobucket that kind of expresses how I feel about him leaving. [Don't get the wrong idea though. Neither Axel or Roxas is gay. xD]

Anywayss, after lunch though, I got really hyper! xD We practiced our batch dance for two hours after lunch. I got really hyper since I love dancing so much. [= And I love watching to boys do Single Ladies! Hahahah! ^^

It's really fun :D At the start we all dance to Insomnia, then after that, the girls move out and the boys start dancing to Single Ladies Then after that, the guys move out, and the girls move in so we can dance Beat It. Yes, the one by Michael Jackson! :D

It's awesome that everyone's going to dance during Sportsfest. [= I'm actually really excited. :D I miss cheering, sicne the cheering part is only for freshmen to juniors [= Seniors kind of have their own team and we cheer the Seniors' cheer. Although, we're not part of the competition. [=

I'm going to try to record a few parts, but that depends if my dad will let me bring the video camera. [=

Anyways, after that, we had Computer, then Research. Research was kind of a free period for us. It usually is. Hahah! xD So we decided to practice the dance a little, then Vergel and Ricco started doing crazy things! Hahah! xD

Chryzia, Twinkle and I started doing some WuShu moves. xD

Then Vergel started doing a moonwalk, and Bruce taught us how to. Hahahah! xD Then Twinkle suggested they'd do Michael Jackson's Anti-Gravity Lean. And this is how it turned out:

But at the back, Jayvee's holding his shirt. Hahahah! xD But before that, Ricco tried doing it, and all the guys who were there held on to his feet, ankles and the back of his shirt, so when he did it, he was practically half-way down. xD

Then the boys pretended that Ricco was like a dummy or something, he just stood there and they started playing with his poses and his facial expressions. They even made him pose like the Statue of Liberty, using an umbrella as the torch, and a piece of illustration board as the book. I took a picture, but then it got deleted by accident. T~T

Oh well.. [=

That's a picture of Atom [our section]! [= That's not everyone though. Some people went home already, and some of the people in the picture are from Wave, I'm not sure, but I think some were from Quantum. :p

Anyways, try to look for me! xD

Can't find me? Then look for the two girls in yellow to the left of the picture. [= See them? The one with glasses is Jane. The one with longer hair is me. :D

Yep, see it? Aryt! :D Can't find me? Look again! xD

Hahahah! Later on, I was about to leave, but then the boys started doing crazy things at the back again, so I took my camera out and took pictures! xD

Yes, that's right. Ricco was walking on the wall. Hahahah! ^o^ Kidding! Hahah! :p You can see it, can't you? [= The guys were holding his back and he was pretending to walk on the wall. xD

Then later on, they started to pull him away from the wall and carried him away. hahah! xD That's the second picture, It kinda looks like he fell and people caught him, but that's actually him struggling, trying to get off. Hahah! xD

At the end of the day, I realized how fun it was. I forgot about the Cabz thing, but then I remembered when I was about to go home when I saw him walking towards school. Oh well... Maybe the guy who used to make me smile all the time, is meant more to be the guy who ends up ruining my day. =/

By the way, I'm currently working on a blog post entitled "Memory Avenue." It'll be a blog post about my whole high school life. That's right. :D My WHOLE High School life. xD Not for all the small details, but the major things that happened. It'll be a pretty long one, so I'm currently working on it part by part. I probably won't finish it soon, so just keep an eye out for it, aryt? [= Give me 2 months or so. Hahahah! xD

Although if I change my mind and decide to finish it up to graduation and Red Carpet next year, then you'll have to wait 'til [more or less] April 2010 before I get to finish it. :D

Sfidato

2009-07-28T19:13:00.002+08:00

Happy Kokopelli Day!! [1 year and 1 month] xD

Weeee!! I feel so proud today! xD

But before I start saying anything, I would just like to tell you that I've started making quote banners again! xD Yea, that picture over there is one of them. :D

Anyways... On with the blog post! xD

First of all, we had a long quiz in Physics, which I was really worried about. But in the end, I found it really easy, which is weird since I was able to have Haustus [recess] just about on time while the others extended and had only 5-10 minutes of Haustus.

I got kind of worried about that though, I thought about it, and I could've done the wrong thing which made me finish faster than the others, but oh well. Nothing I can do about that now. Hahah! xD

Then later that afternoon, for our last period, we had algebra, and Sir Anton started giving back our seat work and quiz papers from the past weeks. And [not so] surprisingly, I got perfect in most of them! :D

It's not that big a deal since Algebra is one of my best subjects, but still. :)) It's not so bad to feel happy for myself once in a while. xD

And right before lunch Daryl [Prime Minister] talked to the class and asked if we were all okay with "Sfidato" being our batch name. And I felt so happy when everyone liked it. ^^

Last Saturday, we were researching in the computer lab possible names for our batch, and I found Sfidato, which meant 'Challenged.' I didn't mention that in my previous post since I didn't really think it would be one of the names they'd actually choose from.

But I'm glad it was, I feel like I contributed something HUGE by giving a batch name. Hahahah! xD I'm not asking for any credit though. [= As long as our batch has a name and everyone agrees with it, then it's fine. xD

I don't want credit if it's for the whole batch. [=

Also, when we had literature for our second period after lunch, we continued our discussion about Norse Mythology. Then we talked about Odin. Then suddenly our teacher said that Odin had "Extramarital Affairs"

Hahahahahahahahah!! =))

Okay, so here's the story cut short and less perverted. Last year, we were researching in the University Library for topics for our IP. And we were sitting down with our groupmates and another group beside ours. Raymart [my bro ^^] was one of them.

He was holding a book that happened to be a thesis from the past. He started reading it then he saw the word 'extramarital'. Then we asked him what he thought it meant, then he started to compare it with 'premarital'.

[ I hope you guys get where this is going and that you guys get what he compared it with. =)) If not, then I understand. Hahah! xD It's okay if you don't, I didn't expect everyone to get this anyways. ]

We kept laughing and couldn't stop for about 10-15 minutes straight. I think the people at the library got irritated with our noise. Hahah! xD

When I heard Ma'am Jerrel say that, I immediately brought my phone out and started texting Sonya. I knew I was seated waay in front of the class, the teacher would definitley see me texting, and that the door was wide open for me to be seen inside the principal's office, but this was something I just really had to [more like wanted to] tell Sonya. xD

When those words came out of our teacher's mouth, I suddenly remembered Raymart. ^^ He was the one who introduced that word to me. Hahahah! xD

And sadly, my bro doesn't study in our school anymore. He transferred to City High because of an issue that happened right before the school year ended last year.

When Nicki and I found out about that, it was during the 'handog'. [March 2009] We just started crying when he texted about what happened and that he was leaving. ]= People kept asking us why, [I don't know about Nicki] but I promised Mart that I wouldn't mention it to anyone.

^^ Oh well, memories........... EXTRAMARiTAL! xD

âmes de Legatus

2009-07-25T23:39:00.004+08:00

You might be wondering what my blog title means. It means "Souls of Legatus." Legatus is the batch name of our Angels' batch. [= It means Legacy in Latin. And we're their souls. So basically that's it. :p

We were researching today in the computer lab for some possible words we could have for our batch name. Hopefully we get to decide within the upcoming week. Sportsfest is near and we all want to have our batch jackets and/or jerseys by then.

The first name we were supposed to use was Cygnus X. Which was supposedly a constellation that forms an X in the sky. And X stands for 10 in the roman numerals. But then some people looked it up on the internet and it turns out Cygnnus is Latin for Swan, and image results show that Cygnus is a kind of motorcycle. So we're trying to think of a new one.

Kate suggested Batough10. Pronounced as beytow ten. It had a good meaning, but no offense to Kate, but I didn't really like that name. =.= It wasn't nice to listen to. [Sorry Kate]

Twinkle suggested another one Lex Tallionis. It means 'an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth', but it could also mean 'the last'. There's a reason why some of us want our batch name to have the meaning 'last' or 'final' in it, but I'd rather not talk about it here. [=

And while searching for names, Leah tried to put my name into the translator thingy, and Franceen Loy is 'Alatariel Galathil' in and elven language. Funny thing is that before we searched my name, we also searched for the translations for a few other words we could have for a batch name. Two of those words were 'legacy' and 'final'.

When we translated 'final', the word 'Alatariel' came out. And for Legacy, it was 'Galathil'. So I guess my name kinda means Final Legacy in elven language. Hahahah! ^o^

Anyways, today I also joined the new sport we have in our school. WUSHU!! :D I did Wushu in china for the study tour in Beijing last summer and I decided to continue it. So I joined the one in school. xD

I don't think our school ever had this club before, but I'm glad we do now. :p Here's a video of the one we performed in China. [=

If you can't find me, I'm the second girl from the left. The one with a half pony tail. [= See me? Aryt..! [=

All the boys in the tour performed since it was wushu. And our wushu teachers only chose 4 out of 14 girls to join the performance. And unfortunately, I was one of them. :p It turned out to be really fun though. [= This was the performance at our school in China by the way. We also performed in Manila when we got back to the Philippines, but I don't have a video of that one. :p

Anyways, I just decided to post the video since I missed Beijing a lot when I joined the wushu club. [I'm not even sure if it's a club xD] But hey, at least I finally have a sport in school! Hahahah! xD

Random! [=

2009-07-24T22:04:00.008+08:00

Hahahah! So here's a video that my batchmate, Matthew, took of Feed Your Batchmate during nutrition day. Hahahah! xD Well, basically it's a game where both people are blindfolded and the other person acts as the first person's arms and feeds him food. The first thing they had to eat was oatmeal. Then the next one was Oishi... The spicy flavored one! Hahah! =))

Anyways, in the first part, our filipino teacher, Sir Dem, is feeding the sophomores' filipino teacher, Sir Jess. Hahah!

Then after them, it shows the two freshmen participants. It's like, she's being fed so slowly. But during that time, the sophomores weren't even finished with the cup of oatmeal yet. Hahahah! :p

Then after that it shows my two batchmates. Bianca is the one at the back, feeding Med. Then it goes back to our teachers.

Anyways, that's not what I wanted to blog about today. ^w^ Today, we were all supposed to have our demonstrative speech for debate. And since I wasn't able to prepare anything, I decided to teach the class how tow rite a few chinese characters.

Although mine didn't push through, I'ce decided that I'm going to change my topic. ^^ So next week, when I do my speech, I'm going to teach the class how to do Poi Balls. It's something we used as props in Hawaiian Dancing when I was younger. [=

And Jane brought a Chinese Yoyo for her speech. I knew how to do that already since I learned that in China during the study tour. [=

And my art class was cancelled today... AGAIN! Hahah! :p I got stranded in school 'cause of the strong rain and I wasn't able to get to painting class in time. I was 45 minutes late. x_x

Anyways, that's also not what I wanted to blog about! Hahahah! Sorry, there's just a lot to say for today... I guess. xD

I decided that once a month, I'm going to blog about my stuff. [= Not just any stuff, but stuff that I love. Mostly things that are found in my room. So today, I took pictures of the things that I love in my room.

But don't worry, there are a LOT more than that, so there's still a lot of stuff saved for the upcoming months! ^^

So first of all, These are pictures of a giant lollipop I bought with my friends in Beijing! Hahah! [= I haven't opened it yet, I don't know when I'm going to, but I will... Soon! Hahah [=

And today, I wrote chinese characters on the back of my hand. In the picture below you'll see it. It says "Wo Ai Ni" I bet a lot of you know what it means already, but to those who don't know, it means "I Love You"

Then below, it's a picture an item I love.. The Dog Tag! [= I'm actually pointing to it. I'm not sure if it's clearly seen, but I bet you can see it anyways. If not, click on the picture to see a bigger view of it :p And if you look at my left hand, you'll see the thing I wrote earlier today. [=

[by the way, all the pictures of me wearing our school uniform were taken just today. When I got home, I went to my room, then spotted the camera and immediately started taking pictures. xD]

And next, you'll see me with my Starbucks Bearista Collection. [= I've collected those since 2004. I haven't gotten any recently since they've gotten so expensive already. > . <

Following this paragraph is a picture of me and my shutter shades! [= I bought these with Sonya and Nicole last school year. Sonya got the same ones except they weren't red. They had a print of the american flag on it. [= We got them at this store in Porta Vaga. Then when we brought them to school, everyone started buying their own! We're such trend setters..! Hahah! :p

And below, is a letter C!! Hahah! [= C for Chinky ^^ It was from the Quiz Bee last wednesday. There were 5 choices for each question represented by a letter, and which ever you think is the answer, you run towards the letter. Yesss... [= And after the game, we all got tired and sweaty, so we got the letters and used them as fans. Although I used E and B as fans, I found the C just lying around before we left. :p

"DO NOT DISTURB! unless it's time to eat..." Hahah! I stuck that on my bedroom door one time when I was reviewing for a comprehensive exam I had to take 2 months ago. And since I didn't want to throw it away, I stuck it to my piggy bank. :p

Next is a picture of me holding a Scream bottle! [= Scream is a drink taht everyone in the Study Tour loved. [= We drank that practically everyday. There are three different flavors. I don't know what the flavors are since I can't read the labels, but they come in different colors.

My favorite was the blue one, but they ran out just before we had to leave, so I couldn't take one home, I took a green one instead. [= There's also a red one, but a lot of people said it tasted awful, so I didn't bother trying it. :p

Click on the picture to see a solo picture of the Scream bottle. [=

And next, you'll see me with Roxas, my first guitar pick! Click to see better since, the pick is so tiny ^^

Next [don't worry it's almost done] is a wish box my mom sent me 1-2 years ago. [= It's really tiny. It's smaller than 1/2 of your thumb [= This is actually the first time I put a wish in it, and I hope it helps in some way. [=

And last, but not the least, is a music box I bought in China's National Centre for the Performing Arts. Also during the study tour in Beijing. That place had everything, art works, a studio, an opera house, a huge stage at the ground floor, and it had a store that sold souvenirs that had anything to do with Music. That's where I got this music box [=

I play it every night before I go to sleep. I think it already fell 2 or 3 times, which is probably why the guitar is tilted forward on its platform. :p

Anyways, goodnight [= We kind of have classes tomorrow. Not regular academic classes, but it's in preparation for this year's Sportsfest on August 18. [=

Nutrition Day

2009-07-22T20:28:00.009+08:00

Happy Nutrition Day, everyone! Hahah! Well, it's not a world-wide or nationwide thing... I don't think this day is city-wide either. Everyone probably celebrates Nutrition Month, and in our school, for one whole day in July, we celebrate Nutrition Day in the gym.

Every year, for most school activities, seniors plan it and supervise as well. One of our school's goals is Student Empowerment.

Anywayss... First thing this morning, we had practice in the gym while everyone assembled in their classrooms. And when everyone got to the gym, we started morning devotion and introduced 2 [for some, 3] new songs to the lower years.

Then for the first activity, we had a relay. A group of representatives from each batch [including the faculty members] had to complete certain... umm... tasks [?] in order to complete the relay. It was divided into 4 parts. First was egg toss. 4 people have to toss two eggs one at a time and get it to the 4th person.

Then once that was finished, they have to tag the next guy and that's where the calamansi pass. I think most of you guys know how this works, I'm too lazy to explain it. Hahah! :D

Then the next part is an apple eating contest. 4 representatives per batch have to eat an apple off a stick. The goal is for two people to finish their apple. But there's a catch. They're not allowed to touch the apple or the stick. :p

The last part of the relay was my favorite to watch! :D The eggplant thingy! :D there's this rope tied around the waist of a person with an eggplant hanging off a couple feet below. And without touching the eggplant or the rope, the person has to push a bottle using the eggplant towards the next person. And that goes through probably about 5 people until the finish line. Hahahah! ^w^

Then after that we had our Haustus [our school's term for recess]. And after that, Twinkle, Ino and I practiced a little backstage. Then after our break, that's when we danced.

The dance was the one we've been practicing for the past 2 days. And yesterday, we added this cute part where our arms are spread out and we rotate our hips real slow. Hahah! >w< We also added some of Angelica's Wu Shu Moves to the start of our dance. Hahah! :D

I got my sister to take a video but it wasn't that good since she used a really old digital camera. I'm not sure if the camera really didn't record sounds or if there was something wrong with it. But there sure wasn't any sounds in the video. And it wouldn't zoom in, so it was pretty far.

Soooo... I guess no video today. [= Although I asked Sonya to take a few shots of our dance using my camera. [I'm the one wearing bright green. You'll find me somewhere close to Chryzia, the girl in red on the right. :D]

The bad quality isn't Sonya's fault though.. Since my camera hasn't been functioning very well recently, the pictures are pretty blurry [putting the flash was pretty useless] and some were too bright, so I had to edit the sharpness and the brightness a little.

Here are a few shots. [= Click on them to get a bigger view since they're pretty hard to see 'cause they're all small and blurry... [=

Anyways, after our dance was the mascots. I don't have pictures of them though. Too bad. And I don't really know who won since I was in the screening for Gazette [School Newspaper] during the awarding ceremonies.

Then after that, we had Food Factor. It's kinda like Fear Factor except we just let them eat gross stuff. Hahahah! :)) The first thing they had to drink was a kind of shake thing that had ampalaya, okra, calamansi, and other things [I don't want to know] in it.

Then they had to eat mashed bananas, which looked yucky, but I guess it didn't taste bad at all. They just got it to look gross so the participants wouldn't dare touch it. Hahahah! :p

Then the last one was a sandwich with Balut and Ampalaya in it. Hahahah! Surprisingly, a lot of people liked it. Even the faculty representatives! hahahah! :D Which, by the way, was Sir anton and ma'am Jerrel. :D

After that was lunch I guess. Then after lunch, it was tug of war. It didn't push through, since the rope kept breaking. :))

Then there was the quiz bee. I joined since we lacked representatives. It was fun, everyone kept running to the same answer every time. All the seniors [except Jacob and Jaja], juniors and sophomores were eliminated later on. So two freshmen and two seniors were left. Jacob and Jaja just got lucky in the previous round though, so I guess it wasn't so surprising when a freshman won. :))

Then there was feed a batchmate! I wanted to join this, although I wasn't able to get a slot earlier. So I ended up just facilitating the game. It's a game that's played by pair and both people will be blindfolded. There will be a table in front of both people and the person at the back will act as the arms and hands of the person who's going to eat the food.

It's a pretty messy game, but there aren't any gross food involved, that's why I wanted to join. Hahaha! xD

Here's a picture I took, I have a few others, but this one's the best. It's a picture of the faculty representatives, Sir Dem and [a new sophomore teacher, I don't really know his name].

That's Sir Dem feeding the other teacher Oishi [a kind of junk food]. Although the first thing he had to feed him was oatmeal, which was way messier. Some of the participants had oatmeal all over their faces! Hahahah! xD

Some looked like they were about to cry coz their partner kept feeding them and feeding them endlessly, which I felt sorry for, but it's not like I could do anything, so in the end I just offered them a lot of tissue to wipe their face. Hahah! :D

And when I went over to where the teachers were, I heard Sir Dem shouting "Eat it! Come on! Eat it! Eat it!" and it's like he kept shoving handfulls of chips into the poor teacher's mouth. Hahahah! xD But they looked like they were having fun anyways. ^^

Then after that there was Pinoy Henyo where there's this word and the participant can't look at it. He has to ask questions to his batchmates and guess the word. I didn't really watch that since I was talking to Sonya backstage.

After that we went to Gazette Screening. We were supposed to go for feature writing. But we were only given one hour to write a news article, an editorial, a sports article, and a feature article. And we obviously couldn't do that, so we had to back out and we chose to either screen for photojournalism and layout artist. I obviously wasn't going to be able to do photo journalism because of my camera's sad state, so we both screened for layout artist instead.

There were only four of use who screened for layout artist [Me, Sonya, Twinkle and Rovie], but we knew only one person was going to be chosen, so we all tried our best, I guess. I finished at around 6 PM already. I didn't even notice that I was there for so long.

Anyways, I guess that's it. I'm going to get some sleep. ^^ Nightie, guys! ^^

Boom Boom Pow!

2009-07-21T20:21:00.003+08:00

Weeee!! ^o^ I miss dancing!! ^^

I can't say I'm a hundred percent good at dancing, since I wouldn't really know. [= Anyways, I've danced practically during my whole grade school life. Then here came high school, I was kind of shy and all. But I tried out for the dance group and I didn't qualify. [= Then just a couple of months ago, during our study tour in China, I danced with a few tourmates for this event we had to perform in. It was full of old people though, I didn't really expect that. :p

And after a long time of not dancing, I actually had a lot of fun. So this year I decided to join s few dances and last saturday, Twinkle asked me if I wanted to dance for Nutrition Day [which will be held tomorrow at the gym], so I told myself 'sure, why not?' and I joined. I've only practiced the dance for to days. Yesterday and today, and I think I've gotten the hang of it. ^w^

We even stayed in school today from 4 PM 'til 7 at night just to practice. And tomorrow we have to be at our batchmate's house before 7 AM. I'ma wear my green music shirt! ^^ Aaaaand, sadly, we have to wear skinny jeans... T~T I don't normally wear those things, but oh well.

Also, earlier, at around 4 PM when everyone was in their batch meetings, we started practicing and they taught us the part where we slide on the floor and we bow at the end. We practiced that part and since it was a little crowded, we were all cramped up at the center of the room. That kind of explains why my head was near Harvee's feet. Then I was about to pull my head up and next thing I knew, Harvee's foot hit my head. T~T Ooooww... T~T I was laughing though. Hahah! :p Although it still hurts up to now.. T~T

By the way, there aren't any pictures... Again. Although I think Criselle took a few shots, so I'ma grab them from her and post them on here once she uploads them. ^o^

I'm also going to ask my sister to take a video tomorrow, so I might take screen shots from the video as well.. ^^

Anyways, as usual, there isn't much to talk about, so I guess I'm going to leave it here for tonight. [= Goodnightie guys.. Chinky needs her beauty rest so she gets enough energy for tomorrow. Hahah! :D

2nd First Day of School

2009-07-20T21:20:00.002+08:00

So today was the second first day of school! Hahahah! [= Well, that's how I saw it anyways. SCA duty was annoying as ever today. And our first subject? Guess what? Chem! Baahh!! Hahahah! :p I know... We're Seniors and we shouldn't have chemistry anymore... But we're a Science School so I guess it's a must... =.=

My day started out bad though. 'Cause before our 'break' started, we had a laboratory activity in chem and I wasn't able to finish my Lab Paper, which was supposed to be submitted today, since I had to go to my advisory class. So I left my paper with my group mates. And today, I was supposed to get it back from her since it was due this morning. But according to her she gave it back to me, but I really don't remember her doing so. So I had to get a new paper and I had to work on it again. Oh well, it's for the grade.

Then for Values Education [Val. Ed.] we had an activity where we could choose our own group and we pass around our Val. Ed. journals so our group mates could draw symbols that represent us and they can put a reason why. I'm gonna put some of those on here. But not all of them since I don't really have much time. I'm sleepy... =.=

Anywayss, here's our group:

In those pictures, I'm the one wearing gray. Lol... Loyal.. Hahah! Kidding :p In the second picture, I'm with Chryzia. That time I was texting Nikki-chan! Hahah! :p

Well, here are some of the things my groupmates drew for me ^^ I don't really have pictures of them so I guess I'll just type it down. -.-" sorry..

Anyways, the first one was Chryzia.. She drew a camera and wrote "Capturing Moments"

Another was Aica's. It was a drawing of one of my shirts and a bunch of candy around it! Hahah! And she wrote "Colorful Shirts!"

The last one, that was Twinkle's, had pieces of paper and a pencil.. And on the drawing of a paper, there was a drawing of a face like this ----> >.< And it says "You're creative! In writing, in drawing, in designing... in DOODLEZ!"

And most of the descriptions there said "Always Smiling!" Hahahah! ^^

Anyways, after that was lunch, we ate at Paotsin!! Wah! I missed that place! Hahah! :p then after eating we practiced the dance we were going to perform before the mascots enter during Nutrition Day.. [= I think they've started practicing last week, but I was only asked to dance recently, so I had to be taught the steps first. We also practiced until 6 in school, and I can't help but laugh at how Ino dances! Hahahah! [no offense to him though ^^ it's funny ^^]

Then after lunch, it was Research. We went to the Com. Lab to research on topics for a new thesis proposal, but sadly they had no internet.

There are no pictures of the dancing since I didn't find anyone who could take shots, but I'm gonna ask my sister or someone to take pictures on wednesday. [=

Anyways, I guess that's it. I'm sleepy. Hahah! ^^

Oh! Special mention to Ian Que! It's his birthday in about 2-3 hours! Advanced Happy Birthday, Ian!! ^^ I miss you guys.. Say hi to Jo and the others for me ^^ Specially to Berwin! Hahahah! ^^ [I hope you're reading this though. Hahah! :p]

Just Another Random Day

2009-07-19T19:50:00.004+08:00

So today was my great grandmother's birthday. Great grandmother from my father's mother's side of the family. Hahah! [= In short, my great grandmother form the Japanese side of the family. [= Today was her 82nd birthday. [=

Yes, the cake was Goldilocks yet again. *sigh* I'm starting to get tired of those. -.-" And in the second picture, from left to right, is my Great Grandfather, Great Grandmother, me, and my little sister. I know, I know.. Little sister's taller than me.. Now shut up. > . < Hahah! :p

Anyways, it was kind of a potluck kinda thing. Then we ate, and we kids watched Kung Fu Panda and Alvin and the Chipmunks, while the older people were downstairs talking about... umm... stuff. Hahaha! xD

Then we left at around 4 PM. Yea, nothing much to talk about here since it was a party with mostly old people. No offense to those who enjoyed it, but I found it pretty boring. Hahah! x]

Anyways, after that we drove a long way since, if you look at the distance form our house, Atok is like... in the other side of Benguet. Hahah! :p So yea, I fell asleep in the car, then when we stopped, I thought we were home, so I just jumped out of the car. Then I realized we were at Starbucks. Hahah! :D See that icon at the start of my post? Yes, that's from today. :D

The Starbucks we went to was the one in John Hay, so it was practically on the way home.

And at that time, I had to pee... real bad. Hahahah! SO I went to the CR. And to my surprise, the hand-dryers weren't automatic!! Hahahah! I've always wished for non-automatic hand-dryers 'cause the censor thingies don't always work. And Starbucks granted me that wish! Hahah! [=

Then I ordered a Caramel Frappe and a Croissant that I shared with my sister. Yumm.. ^^ Although, as some of you know, I don't drink coffee. So I ordered a cream based frappe. [= Just like my valentine! ^^ [to those who read my February 15 blog post, you'd understand ^^]

And this is the part I hate. *sigh* I decided to put cinnamon powder in my frappe, as I usually do. Then I started mixing it, and I saw all the powder stayed at the top. So I mixed a little faster and next thing I knew, the straw tipped my cup over, and the all the caramel goodness spilled on my lap and the side of my seat.

I couldn't help but think of all that poor, delicious caramel frappe all over the floor and chair. What a waste.. ]= and also a waste of trees since I had to use a lot of tissue to wipe it off me, my chair and the edge of the table.

At least it only got drained half way, I still had some left to drink, but I wasn't satisfied at all. I felt like I wanted another one, but I didn't want to ask since my dad didn't look like he was in the mood. Hahah! [=

Then I started eating the strawberry jam. Hahahah! Call me a sweet tooth but it was good. ^^ And I ate a lot of rambutan today! Weee!! ^^

Then before we left, I wrote a note to Starbucks saying "Sorry". I wrote it on the last piece of tissue on the table, then that's when I realized that I wasted yet another piece of tissue. *sigh* oh well, later on, before we walked out the door, I dropped ten Pesos in their Tipping Box. ^^

Also, today, I found out something huge about a batchmate that I really hate. And I mean really hate. Although since I heard the story from my dad [who happens to be friends with his dad], I kind of understand why he's like that, and I'm kind of starting to feel for him.

Anyways, I'm kind of rushing, since I haven't finished all the homework the teachers threw at us the day before our 'break' started. I don't think it'll take long to finish this one, but I want to sleep early tonight. Hahah! [= So yea, goodnighties, guys. ^^

Power Shortage

2009-07-17T17:48:00.002+08:00

Wah! So today there was a power shortage watchamacallit. My dad said the area was 'low in voltage.' I didn't really know what it means, but it's like there was a brown out in some parts of the house, but some parts had electricity. Which was weird.

I'm actually blogging on Text Edit in the laptop. Hahah! [= [It's called text edit in the mac, but to those Windows users, it's kind of like Notepad] I'ma copy pate this later on to my blog.

Anyways, when the power first went off, the laptop I was using was fully charged and the internet was still working, so I could've been still chatting on YM. But my dad said since there's low voltage, we have to lessen our use of electricity at the moment. So I had to sign out and we turned the modem and the TV off.

Then I played guitar for a while, then my own playing kind of annoyed me since I'm not so good at guitar and every song I played kind of sounded the same. Meaning they all sounded awful. :p

Then I started doing my unfinished homework, which by the way, I almost forgot about. Thanks to the brown out, I had nothing to do and I remembered the homework. :p Although I'm not done yet, I still have Economics and I still have to read a story for my report in Filipino so I can go to Jam's house tomorrow and lend her my book.

Oh! And the lights just came back! [= Right on time for the new episodes for Spongebob's 10th anniversary! Hahahah! ^^

Oh, by the way, remember from my previous post when I said the actor for Dumbledore was gay? Well, there's a tiny correction there, although it might be a huge correction to you Dumbledore fans. Click here to find out the truth. [Here's your proof Nikki-chan :p] But if you're too lazy to check then I'll just tell you right here. Neither Michael Gambon or Richard Harris is gay. If there's someone gay amon ghte Harry Potter characters, it's Dumbledore himself.

That's right, I was shocked, myself. 'Cause earlier this morning, I saw Nikki-chan's message in my Chatter Box and she was asking for proof. Hahah! :p so I searched it up on Google and Opened the page from earlier. Then that's when I saw the truth. Hahahah! ^~^

I guess that's all to blog about today. Not much to say since the weather was awful and I couldn't go to art class... again. *sigh* Oh well, next week I'm sure to go. Hahah! ^^ Well, tomorrow I have an UPCAT review, which I missed last week. And on Sunday it's my great grandmother's birthday and we're going to Atok to celebrate. I haven't gone there in about 5-8 years.

I'm not sure how long it's been, but I was waaaayy younger that time. I actually miss that place but I've always hated how long it took to get there. > . <

Anyways, I'm excited! Hahah! But i I don't wanna go to UPCAT review tomorrow... =.= It's boring and I actually only went there coz of Science and Filipino. But yea, they're not even helping us with Filipino. The brochure said they would, though. ]=

Oh well, 'til tomorrow. [=

Another Day Out With The Flirty Friends

2009-07-16T20:36:00.005+08:00

Finally! Something to blog about! ^o^ Well as you all read from my previous post, I watched Harry Potter 6 today! [= So I'm just gonna start telling you guys how my day started up to the time it ended. Hahahah! ^o^

Well, first it started when my sister and I went to SM. We just rode a jeep so we kind of had to walk up that hill SM's on. So yea. :)) That's when we started to wait for our friends. I was waiting for Sonya and Nicole and my siter was waiting for a couple of her friends as well. And for every taxi that passed by, I'd say "Nicole? .........Nope." Hahah! :p

Then a few minutes later I heard someone go "psst!" So I looked behind me towards where the sound came from, then a few inches away from me was an orange shirt. I was like... *looks back* 'who's this?' *looks up about a foot [or less]* and there I saw an old friend of mine. And I thought 'Gosh, he's gotten tall.' Hahahah! xD

I wasn't surprised to see him there, though. For the past Harry Potter movies, I've been watching it with him and our other friend, Bianca. We were all friends from elementary and I guess he's the one I've been keeping in touch the most recently. Oh, his name is Charlo, by the way.

We used to go to SM at quarter to 10, right before it opens. Then once the gates open, we start running to the top floor where the Movie theaters are. I remember those awesome times. Hahah! ^^ Well, since I couldn't get in touch with those two friends of mine, and Sonya asked if we wanted to watch Harry Potter today, I decided to go with her and Nicole. Then I suggested the thing about the going-there-early-and-running-to-the-top-floor thing. [=

Anyways, yea. Sonya arrived, and so did Nicole. And earlier on, when I saw Charlo, he said "You should wait inside Starbucks instead. Kasi dito may line pa. Tapos titignan pa gamit niyo. If you wait inside Starbucks, when the gates open, they just open the other door and let you in." So when my friends arrived, I told them that we should wait inside Starbucks instead. And we did, we even bought cookies and Nicki bought a frappe. Then the gates opened, and people started rushing into the main entrance. And where were we? Inside Starbucks... waiting for the dude to open the doors! > . <

I seriously think we shouldn't have listened to Charlo. Hahaha! xD That's why I freaked out about the thought of us waiting in line for so long, so I went out, my friends followed me out of Starbucks and we entered through the main entrance where we had to get our bags checked and all that crud. Hahah! :p Although it wasn't all that long.

Then we ran all the way up to the top floor. Then I saw my sister in line, so we kind of cut behind her so we didn't have to go all the way back. Then there were these Koreans who were holding up the line, so It went really slow, and since Nicole was dressed up all girly today, we were joking that she would walk up and hit on a guy so he'd buy us tickets.

Then like, a couple minutes later, Charlo walks up to this guy who was closer to the front of the line. They started talking a little and then he looked at his companions and smiled. I couldn't do anything but look at him with widened eyes and a dropped jaw. Oh yes, I knew what he did. He asked a complete stranger to buy them their tickets! [he gave him their payments though] So I went up to him and started calling him unfair. I even asked him if he knew the guy at all. And no, he didn't know him at all.

[According to Charlo by the way, he bribed the guy. He actually paid for his ticket in return for him buying tickets for them.]

Well, Charlo and his brother went in before we did. Then he texted me [although I read it late] it said "you might not get seats up here if you guys are still in line. You want us to save you seats? Reply before someone takes them!" But yea, I didn't, 'cause when I read that text we were already seated at the upper part. Oh, and Charlo and his brother sat in the row in front of us..... Yeaaa.... [=

Anyways, after that we started talking about how Dumbledore was gay in real life. And Nicki and I thought Sonya knew it from before, so we were kind of cool about it. But then later on in the movie, we all start being noisy and we all start laughing at stuff that shouldn't be laughed at all because of Sonya who was new to the fact that the actor for Dumbledore was gay. So everything that was completely normal, seemed so different to us because of that one thing! We started laughing and I think I heard people go "ssssshh!!" a few times. Hahahahah! >w<

Oooh! By the way, we were three of the hundreds of people who watched Harry Potter's first ever screening in SM! Bahahahah! ^w^ SM Baguio Cinema 4! Hahahah! xD 'Cause Cinema 3 started later. :p

Then later on, there's this part where Harry tries to get water from this lake [no big spoilers, don't worry]. Then I was kind of wide-eyed because I felt like something was coming. But sooner than I thought [waaaaaaayyy sooner than I thought], something grabbed Harry's hand. So I screamed! I don't know if it was loud or not, but I screamed! And Sonya was embracing my arm and I think she was covering her eyes, 'cause then later on, she says "Why'd you scream? What happened?!"

Then we kept laughing, because... I don't know... I think they were laughing because I screamed, but I was laughing 'cause Sonya didn't know what happened... =.=

Anyways, from a scale of 1-10, I guess I could rate the movie 6.5-7.5... But to those people who've read the book, I guess it would be rated 5 or lower... Nicki kept complaining about how something important happened and they didn't show it... Or about something that happened in the movie and wasn't supposed to happen at all. Y'know, even the small details like how Malfoy's friend's hair is supposed to be black, not brown. Hahahah! [=

Anyways, we also kept whining about how we didn't want Ron to be with Lavender OR Hermione. And how Harry shouldn't be with Ginny. All three of us wanted Harry and Hermione together. Hahahah!

So after that, we went out then headed to the supermarket. We were probably there for around twenty to thirty minutes or so. We were wondering what we could buy or what we could make in Sonya's house.

Sonya: oh! we can make those things! With the eggplant around and some rice inside! What do you call that?
Nicki: Oh.. Sorry I don't eat eggplant
Chinky: I hate eggplant.
Sonya: No! That thing where you put vinegar in the rice so it'll be sticky!
Chinky: Maki?!
Sonya: Is that what it's called?! It's something like... Teriyaki Boy!
Chinky: That's maki! The japanese food!
Nicki: So what was all this about an eggplant?!
Chinky: I was about to ask the same thing!
Sonya: That black thing around the rice!
Chinky and Nicki: That's not eggplant! That's sea weed! > . <

Hahahahah! So basically, Sonya's clueless about the japanese food nomenclature! :))

[Gosh, I never thought I'd use the word 'nomenclature' in my blog... o.O]

We went around a few times and ended up buying only a bag of popcorn pop corn and ice cream. :)) Then we headed to Sonya's house in a taxi while eating our ice cream. ^^

Then when we got to Sonya's house, we opened this can of soup, which by the way, I couldn't finish my share, since it had peas and carrots in it... > . <

Then we popped the pop corn in the microwave... :p Then we ate some chocolates. Well, Nicki did. I ate Chocolate Skittles.

Aaaand, this is the part where I'm kinda mad at those two. Well, I'm not mad anymore, just disappointed. Since a few years ago, I promised myself that I'd never drink. As in NEVER. And earlier at Sonya's house, she said they had a bottle of Red Wine. Then Nicole said "Ooh, I wanna taste it." Then Sonya brought the bottle out, which was still alright with me. I thought that since they're my best friends, they'd understand if I said I didn't want any.

Then later on they're bringing out wine glasses and I said with a smile "Not me. I don't drink." Then they were all "No! It's non-alcoholic!" Then I asked Sonya if she was sure, and she said yea, so as my best friend, I trusted her. So i filled up... I don't know how much I put in my glass, but just look at the picture.

Then the moment i finished it, that's when they said "So now that you've finished it, I guess now we can tell you it's 12% alcohol." Ugh! I wanted to kill them at that moment. But all I did was say "You guys are lucky I'm not telling my dad about this."

Anyways, after that we played UNO STACKO! [= I miss that game. Although the rules in Sonya's UNO stacko were different. It was fun though. We played it a couple of times, the first time, Sonya lost. Then Nicki on the next round. Hahahah! [=

Then we recorded Chemistry Book. [= Yess.. Hahahah! [=

Then we took a walk for a while and went to Sonya's Inn / Korean School. We went to the lowest floor to the Basketball court to do a montage according to Sonya. But the Korean students started playing when we got there. So we walked all the way to the roof top where Nicki and Sonya climbed up these water thingies. I would've done it, but if I did, I wouldn't be able to get down.

Then yea, after that we went home. I guess that's it.

Oh, and just now, I was talking with Charlo and he seems interested in Nicki. Hahahahah! xD He said "Your american friend is fun." then later on he says "She's interesting and attractive." 'Cause earlier today I introduced them and they started talking. And While we were in line, Nicole talked with him a lot.

Sorry, by the way, if ever this blog post seems rushed in these later parts. I kind of got lazy from typing so much. Hahah! But yea, basically, that's all that happened today. :p

School starts again in four days. I can't wait! Hahahah! [=

Boring Nonsense

2009-07-15T20:59:00.003+08:00

Happy Monthsary, TiC!! [= Hahah! So today was TiC's 2-year-and-7-month anniversary. By the way, TiC stands for Twinkle, Inna and Chinky. It's a group we formed when we were freshmen. But I'm gonna talk more about that when it's our actual anniversary on December 15. So don't forget to check in on that day. ^^

Okay, so today, [unfortunately] I got too lazy to continue doing homework. So I'm doing that on friday. 'Cause tomorrow, I'm gonna be watching Harry Potter 6 with Sonya and Nicki! ^w^

So tomorrow will be a long day I guess. Maybe not. Hahah! Harry Potter 6 at SM, then Sonya's house, then my aunt's house to give her the scrapbook... ^^

Oh tomorrow when we go to Sonya's place we're going to record 'Chemistry Book' which, by the way, we were supposed to do around 2-3 weeks ago, but we never really had the time to do so.

I don't really know what to blog about right now.. =/ Usually I blog about things that happen in a day, but recently I've only been blogging about the past. That's because school's still suspended and we don't go back 'til monday. I'm actually getting bored now. -.-"

That's why i'm going to start talking about random stuff!! Hahahah! [= So Nicki just introduced this new manga to me. It's called Fairy Tail. Yes... Tail not Tale.. Hahah! ^^ I'm only in the first chapter and I'm starting to fall in love with it. So I recommend all you Anime/Manga lovers to read this one, it's awesome and really funny.. :))

And lately, I've been talking with Nikki-chan a lot. :D When I first saw her stories in ff.n [around 2-3 years ago, if I'm not mistaken], I thought they were really great and I actually put her in my favorite authors list. [= Then last year I got to know her a little more and apparently, I found out she was younger than me.

Well, I've been reading her blogs and talking with her on YM a lot nowadays. We even text each other sometimes. :) I checked my message archive just now and my chat messages with Nikki-chan are full of laughing emoticons. Hahahahah! :))

Anywaysss. I seriously don't know what to blog about today. *sigh* -.-" Nicki-chan just signed out. Oh well. Hahah! [=

Oh! My sister let me watch this video just now. It's a video about a Japanese class wherein their teacher lets them watch a video of this guy trying to speak in English. And whoever laughs gets smacked in the butt. Hahahahah! It sounds weird at first, but it's actually really funny. I couldn't breathe from all the laughing. Hahahah! >w< Clicky here to see it! Hahah! [=

Oh! And today, I'm officially Inna's blog editor. Hahah! She got so worried that her blog might have had too much wrong grammar or that she used too much TagLish. Hahahah! [= So yea, I edit her entries and tweak her HTML a little once in a while. [=

Soooo... what now? ^^ This is probably a boring post. I bet I wasted about 5 minutes of your time for letting you read this. Hahah! [= But oh well, better post tomorrow! :)) I'm gonna try to take pictures with my defective camera tomorrow. But don't expect good quality photos. :)

Oh, those pictures of me? Well, that just shows how bored I was today. Hahahah! ^^v Well, now you see the defects on my camera. Or not. Well, you'll only see it when it's enlarged I guess. Well, when it's enlarged or zoomed in, it has lines and the pictures are too bright. I just adjusted the brightness of these ones so they wouldn't look that bad.

I guess that's it for today. *sigh* This must be my most boring post for this month. T~T

All Work, No Play

2009-07-14T20:54:00.002+08:00

Okay, so today was a tiring day. My sister and I practically did homework the whole day. Well, she did, I had chores to do before I started my homework. It was weird though, I woke up this morning and thought to myself 'i'm going to do all the work I have to today. Well, at least all that I can handle for a day.' and I don't know but I felt like I had so much energy today.

Whenever I wake up, I usually, I pull the sheets off, sit up, rub my eyes, stand, read my daily Bible verse, then slowly head to the bathroom. But today, I pulled the sheets off, stood up, read my Bible verse, ran to the bathroom, then started cleaning. Hahahahah!

Then I came down to eat breakfast which, by the way, was just a slice of toasted bread with swiss cheese on top. There wasn't really anything prepared for breakfast today, just cereals, and we were out of Koko Krunch and Froot Loops, so I didn't feel like eating cereals.

Anyways, I brought the bread to the living room where my sister was using the computer, in fact, we both planned to do homework today... coincidentally. :p So I grabbed the laptop, opened my email, facebook, blog and gaia, just to check on updates. Signed out then started doing homework.

I got so annoyed with the noise outside [they're renovating, by the way] so I turned the music on and put the volume on high.

I started with the Physics working paper, which took me practically the whole day to do. But I'm proud of myself today. I researched on the internet to get some answers, but only came up with a paragraph or two. And the rest of my 3-paged Physics paper, was based on our Encyclopedias! Wooooooaaahh!!! Hahahahah! [=

It's a whole set of Encyclopedia Americana. We have 30 of them [actually 29, we're missing the 2nd Volume] and I opened about 6 or 7 of them! Hahahahah! I wouldn't be able to do that on a normal school day, I'd be too lazy and too tired from school stress to even open a single Encyclopedia. I'd just look it up on Yahoo or Google. ^~^"

Oooohh!! Guess what song is playing right now? Hahahahah! Nine in the Afternoon by Panic! At the Disco... Hahahahah! [= *sings along*

When it's nine in the afternoon
and your eyes are the size of the moon
You could, 'cause you ca, so you do
We're feeling so good

Hahahahahah! ^o^ Yeaa, I love that song, but I hate the reason why I do. Hahahah! [= Ayel said this was her song for me. 'Cause it says "your eyes are the size of the moon" and yea, she was pretty much just exaggerating the fact that my eyes are huge. Hahahahah! >w<

Oh, and today, when my dad came home, there was a package for me. It was the thing my mom told me about earlier this week. She sent a scrapbook with pictures of my grandma [read end of older post "Summer Sadness"]. She said she'd send it to us so we could give it to our aunt and grandfather.

So on thursday, after I watch Harry Potter 6 with Sonya and Nicki [or after whatever we're doing after that], I'm heading to visit my grandfather, aunt and cousin to give them the scrapbook. ^^ I haven't seen them in a while, now is probably the best time to go visit. [=

My Flirty Friends

2009-07-13T18:32:00.006+08:00

Hahahah! Well, today, I didn't really know what to blog about, to be honest, this "New Post" window has been open since 10:00 this morinng. Hahah! And apparently, I haven't done my chores. :p Anyways, moving on, I decided to blog about a note on FaceBook. Buuuut, I changed my mind [sorry manong Erjo ^w^]. So I thought I'd just blog about our Biking Day last October 23, 2008.

Yea, I know. It was a long time ago and I only uploaded the video today, which also makes me wonder why I didn't do it earlier. Hahahah! [= It was a sad happy day. It was after exams [like the water wars], and we planned that we'd ALL go, but then some of our friends decided to go some place else, and one of them had to go home. And it came down to just the three of us: Me, Sonya, and Nicole.

At first we were kind of sad and a little angry at them for not coming with us, but at the end of the day, I guess we had fun. We did anyways. The others, well, let's just say it was a completely different long story. I won't talk about that, since this is about our biking experience. >w<

Here's the video, and to Nikki-chan: Sorry I couldn't put subtitles [even on the other one]. iMovie won't let me. Hahahah! [=

Yes. As you can see, our friend, Nicki, taught Sonya and I how to ride a bike. And, well, I'm nowhere close to good when it comes to biking. Hahahahah! [= I also tried to learn when I was about nine or ten on my pink bike and I failed miserably. Hahahahah! [= Well, I succeeded this time, but when I tried again with my cousin's bike, I couldn't do it anymore. Which really bites. >~< Oh well. Better luck next time when I'm with Nicole. Hahahah! ^o^

The funny part later on in the video is where Sonya starts screaming my name endlessly with this annoying tone. Hahahahah! I couldn't stop laughing when I watched it earlier.

Well, after we went biking, we walked to SM, it was really close. Although, as Baguio people, it's really sad that we actually got lost on our way. I mean, we never walked to SM from Burnham before. Hahahahah!

If I remember right, we were supposed to watch Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2. But I don't think it was showing anymore, so we ended up watching Max Payne. We started at some part in the middle and waited after it was done for it to start again. Sonya kept calling the girl "Buffy" for some reason. Hahah! She looked nothing like Buffy though. :))

And when the movie was over, we waited for it to start again so we could catch the parts we missed. Then Sonya started talking about this movie she saw on Cinemax the other night. We didn't know what the movie was so she started telling us the story about how there was this girl, and her mother wanted her to marry this guy she didn't even love. And she had a different guy. One of those common kinds of cheesey movies, I guess.

The weird part was that in between her words, Sonya started laughing... real hard. So it gave us this thought that the movie she watched had something funny in it. She kept laughing which made us laugh as well, this probably went on for another 5-10 minutes. Then she [finally] got the end of the story. Turns out the girl's mom made this face, which Sonya couldn't even do. The story ended up not being funny at all.

Hahahah! Oh, now I remember. After we found our way to SM, we ran into a group of friends, who laughed at us for getting lost. Then we bought Pop Corn for the movie and decided to sit down for a while. [Pictures above]

Theeenn, we watched the movie. Hahah! The story's already there. *scrolls up and points to 8th-10th paragraph*

After the movie, [this is according to the time and date in my pictures' information] we went to Toy Kingdom. Whenever we go out with friends, not matter what we planned on doing, we always spend a little time in Toy Kingdom. Hahahahah! [= I guess it's a must. ^w^

We looked at some pretty cute stuff, and if I remember right, we played with some toys that said "Try Me" Hahahah! Then we saw these really cool diamond block thingies! Those things were awesome! Hahahah! [=

After that, we went out the SM's terrace and sat down in the corner. We all know that's not allowed, coz every time we do that a guard approaches us and tells us to leave. This time, we learned. Every time we see a guard approaching, we stand up... and we leave. Hahahahah! :))

Anyways, I guess that's it. That was all that happened today I guess. Hahahah! [= These are all old pictures and old videos, they're almost a year old, but after seeing the Water War video, I looked around my files in the computer and saw this. I decided to blog about it, since I obviously haven't yet. And I knew this day was worth blogging about. Hahahah! [=

PS: You guys are probably wondering why it's entitled "My Flirty Friends" It's coz earlier this morning, Sonya told me stuff, and it wasn't pretty. And well, recently she's been called a flirt [which is negative100% true], and she says: "Why am I being called a flirt when I'm being friendly?!" So there, we're replacing the word 'friendly' with 'flirty.' Hahahahah! [=

By the way Nikki-chan, sorry to say I'm taking the UPCAT here in Baguio, so I guess we won't be seeing each other when you accompany your cousin. T~T But don't worry, we'll meet soon! Hahahah! [= I'ma add it to my wishes! >w<

Chemistry Book by Sonya Sison, Nicole Sarne and Chinky Loy

It's Monday night
And I've got nothing to do
And then I see it
It's a CHEMiSTRY BOOK

I'm home alone
And the power is out
It wants to eat me
With the chemicals in my mouth

[Chorus]
'Cause I'm stranded (she's stranded)
With a chemistry book (it's a chemistry book)
I'm stranded (she's stranded)
With a chemistry book (it's a chemistry book)
And it hurts 'cause it burns like hell
'Cause I'm stranded (she's stranded)
With a Chemistry book (it's a chemistry book)

And now it's Wednesday
Ma'am Andrada is there
She's getting mad
But we don't really care

Something exploded
It's the acids in the air
But when I looked
It was just Paul's hair

[Chorus]

She talks about Sodium Chloride
But we don't know the difference
With Sodium Sulfide

[Chorus 2x]

Ahahahahahah! =)) Did you like it?! =))

That was a song written by my best friend Sonya Sison with a little help from Nicole Sarne. I just sang with them. Hahah! [= When we get a chance to record it, I'm going to feature it in here my bloggie, so you guys better check back soon if you want to hear it.

Anyways, Sonya came up with the song some time while she was reviewing for the Chemistry exam... then They made it longer during LitMus practices where we weren't doing anything. Then we sang it and Sonya made some chords for it.

Hahahah! Oh, and sometime after that, we had water wars in Katchy's house. Although her dad sort of got mad, this day was waaaay awesome. Hahah! ^w^ And I don't remember how he got there, but Ino was our camera guy during the 'war' Ahahah! ^~^

Here's the video:

Hahah! You don't have to watch the whole thing, but do watch 2 minutes and above... Hahah! OR you can skip to the very last part, coz that's my time to shine with Ayel! Hahah! ^~^

The fat*ss thing in the cab? Well, it's an inside joke... Katty Perry in the cab?! Well, sorry to say people, but that was Ayel. Hahahah! ^~^

Well, some parts you might not get, is why we start running downhill later on. That's coz a water balloon was thrown, didn't pop and started rolling down the hill thing and we start running after it, then Ayel shouts "Who wants this?!" while holding up a water balloon. It was the last one left, it was hers but she just knew that we wanted it. =))

Theeeen... A motorcycle comes! You're probably wondering why we laughed at it... =)) [I wonder how the dood riding it felt when we started laughing at him? Sorry motorcycle guy.. :) ] Well, that's coz when we were in the cab, there was a motorcycle behind us, and Nicki said 'hi' to the guy riding it. And the guy actually smiled and waved back.. Hahahah! xD So yea, we joked that he came after Nicole. [=

Aaaand... At the end, before Ayel and I start dancing, Nicki [who was supposed to dance with us] backed out coz she got water in her ear and it hurt. So yea. [=

But seriously.. watch the video.. Hahahah! ^w^ never fails to make me laugh no matter how many times I watch it! =))

In the Cab:

Camera Girl: Sonya Sison
Noisy girl at the back: Nicole Sarne
Girl at the back wearing Yellow: Chinky Loy / Me ^~^
Girl in cap & shades: Louise [Ayel] Martinez (aka Katty Perry)
Sane girl in front: Katrina Viray

Water Wars:

Camera Man: Ino Rubang
Red shirt and white shorts: Chinky Loy / Me :D
White shirt and red shorts: Nicole Sarne
Yellow Shirt and jeans: Louise [Ayel] Martinez
Green sleeveless top and yellow shorts: Sonya Sison
All black: Katrina Viray

Oh, by the way, today, I got a guitar pick! [= Hahah! It's red and black. There's the picture. I chose that coz it looked like Axel's hair. Hahah! But... I named him Roxas. :p Since he's Axel's best friend in KH. ^w^ I know, I know, I sound obsessed with KH right now. But the KH obsession is taking over, and it can't be stopped. Hahah! :P

Sorry by the way, if the picture quality's no good. I only used the laptop's camera, since, sadly, my camera's been going insane and been taking really awful pictures... T~T sorry guys, so I guess my blogs will be having either laptop pictures or pictures from other people's cameras. For the meantime only though. I'm going to find a way to get my camera fixed. I love it too much for it to be left alone. [=

Partners in Crime

2009-07-11T19:26:00.000+08:00

So since I have nothing to blog about right now [since i woke up way too late for the UPCAT review], I'm going to blog about SCA [student class adviser] duty! [= It's really fun, despite the fact that they don't listen most of the time. >.< Anyways, I stayed home today and sat in front of the computer fixing my blog skin. Which by the way looks better now. Hahah! [= I'm going to be changing the header part every week or two, just to lessen the chances of it getting too old for our eyes like my old one. Hahah! [=

Anyways! Back to topic... SCA duty! [= In case you were wondering, Jaja [my partner] and I handle the second year Ecologists class. [= We belonged to that class when we were sophomores as well, and Manong JonJon [our SCA 2 years ago] told me that we'd finally feel what he and Manang Marielle did before. x_x

Well, anyways, that first picture was taken by Nicole during the Pre-Class Seminar for the freshmen where Caleb [the guy in the picture lol] introduced the SCAs which didn't take as long as I expected it to.

Anyways, the class has only been punished twice. The first time was by Caleb when both Jaja and I were kinda late. [I wouldn't have been late if people hadn't continuously told me to go to Quantum's classroom coz Cabz was there.] Well, they were all standing facing the door when I got there, ad it was really quiet. I let them sit down after about 5 minutes, but I told them I wanted it to be that quiet when they did. And it was. ^w^

The second time they were punished, was the first time Jaja and I punished them. We were actually doubting, but we didn't know if we were allowed to punish them. But we did anyways. It was Jaja's Idea, but she let me make them bite their pens. Yea, that's a punishment in Science High. Sounded stupid at first, but you have no idea how quiet people can be when you let them bite their pens. :p

And on July 7, that was last tuesday, the teachers had an emergency meeting [they were probably talking about classes being suspended], and of course, as SCAs, we had to take over. Well, it wasn't a time for Sacred Silence, so we thought we could just leave them alone as long as they don't loiter around the school.

Then they got reeeaaallly noisy, but we didn't care. They started taking pictures and started cheering, but still, we didn't care. Hahah! We kept going to the class next door where it was quiet and the students were doing a seatwork. Then Jaja started taking pictures, see that picture to the left? That's our class [but that's not everyone], I'm the floating head in the side.. Hahah! and Jaja's the one to my right. [=

When I found out I was SCA about two months ago, I imagined myself wearing our school uniform and those Prefect arm bands Zero and Yuuki wear in Vampire Knight! Hahahah! >w<

Axel

2009-07-10T18:41:00.004+08:00

Okay, so guess what? I finally got my guitar! [= picture on the right.. Haha! [= This is actually old news, although I haven't blogged about it yet. I got it around late May. I don't really remember the exact date. But anyways, I got really excited when I got it, but then I realized that it looked like Sonya's guitar except the back part is lighter. [=

The brand is Fernando, like Sonya's, and according to a lot of people, it's a good brand.

And you have no idea how strong it is! I was carrying it out of my room, and i didn't open the door wide enough. So when I went out of my room, the guitar hit the wall just beside the door frame. I freaked out and searched my guitar everywhere for dents, scratches, and i even sat down and tried to play a chord to see if it was still in tune. And it was fine, but when I looked at my room's wall, the paint got off and a small part of the cement did too. Which was really weird. o.O I even kept a part of it and taped it to my scrapbook. Haha! [=

And also, on July 7, 2009, I [finally] named my guitar. ^w^ His name Is Axel. No, not Axel Rose from Guns and Roses. 'Cause that's what my dad thought. But actually he's named after Axel, the kool Nobody from Kingdom Hearts CoM and Kingdom Hearts II. My favorite KH character. [=

Well, I can already play a few songs on the guitar, the first song I ever learned to [completely] play, was Swing Swing by The All American Rejects, which was taught to me by Sonya on her guitar. But the first song I ever learned to play on my guitar, was Our Song by Taylor Swift. It has easy chords and it sounded pretty much right. [=

I can also play When I'm With You by Faber Drive, Dearly Beloved from Kingdom Hearts and [my favorite] A Little Bit Longer by Nick Jonas. A Little Bit Longer isn't all that popular, but I'll feature it next. It's the song that Nick wrote about his diabetes, I love it, I actually cried the first time I heard it. And the lyrics are on the dog tag I have.

And about a month ago, I promised Inna I'd play her a song on the guitar, aaand... I haven't yet. Haha! But I will soon. I asked Nikki-chan what song I could play, she suggested Thunder by Boys Like Girls, so I searched for the chords, and they're pretty easy, but I have to practice it first before I can play it for Inna. [=

Oh! And as you can see, I've changed my blog skin! Yay! Way earlier than I even expected. That's because We have a lot of free time right now. They suspended classes because of the A H1N1 virus. I'm not sure if there's really a case in the University or if they're just cleaning the school, but all i know is that they suspended classes, and before they did, they gave us a pile of homework to do. >.<

It's pretty messed up in the top part though. I'ma fix that tomorrow after our UPCAT review. Ugh. The UPCAT review costs a lot and I found out there was a free review in school. Oh well. At least I'm reviewing. Although it's really boring, we only have 3 subjects [Math, English and Science] and each of it takes about 2 1/2 hours to finish. >.<

Gay Love?!

2009-06-25T21:19:00.003+08:00

Not much to blog about right now, but a lot of fun things happened to me today. Hahahah! [=

Well, first of all, Josh and I finally created the first episode of the comic we invented using the funny random characters we made out of boredom. Hahaha! [= Ima show you pictures of our characters this weekend. [=

Then we had filipino, where we had to plan a "Mime Play" kind of thing.. And Sir Dem told us it had to be about "Pag-ibig" hahahahah! Our group made ours a comedy. It's about Gay Love... hahahahaha! =))

The main characters are Matthew and [unfortunately] me.. At the beginning it's like Matthew and I were a "couple" coz our parents arranged for us to get married. Then later on, we meet these other people who we get attracted to.. that made me laugh a lot, good thing it's a silent play coz then it would be hard to act things out. Hahahahah! [=

Well, I'm not going to spoil the rest of the play in case any of my classmates are reading this, Ima continue tomorrow once it's actually done. Just to save them the surprise. Hahahaha! [=

Well, anything else? apparently, yes. We had to start experimentation for our thesis in research, so our group started collecting rain water. Aica tried putting a plastic around her hands at first and putting it into the bottle, but the water was sort of contaminated coz it came from the roof of the school. So we ended up borrowing 4 dissecting pans from the lab. As Char, Twinkle, Aica and I held out the dissecting pans under the rain with our umbrellas, Gerlyn wrote down our narrative report by the shade nearby. People started to stare, laugh, and kids even looked into our dissecting pans, probably wondering what was in those things.

Then later on, this college guy came hear us. [not so sure if he was college or from prep high coz of what he was wearing] He started asking my groupmates questions about what we were doing and about the pH level of Baguio rain and how is it different from pH of acid rain in other places, blah blah blah. Then after a while, he said thank you and left with a smile. I couldn;t help but to watch him walk away and say "Aica... He's gwapo!" Hahahahaha! But seriously, he was. [= I even told Twinkle in the classroom, "I bet his name is Justin" Ahahahah! [=

And I know it's weird to say this, since a lot of people highly respect this person and he's an alumni of our school, but our new prefect of discipline and student affairs coordinator, Manong VJ.... a lot of people think he's good looking, and sorry to say, but I'm one of them. Hahahahah! =))

Anywaaaaayyysss... Moving on.. Hahahah! [= Today was also our second time to have 5-6 classes. And we'll be expecting a lot more of that this year. At around 5:00, the electricity went off, and everybody was like "whoooa!!" and "yeess!!!" Hahahah! [= and since our classroom was waay dark without lights, we all screamed for joy and hoped that 5-6 classes would be cancelled.. But sadly, the lights came back after a few minutes.. And as we all settled down for class, the lights suddenly went off again and Aaron and I were like "YEESSSS!!!" and after our supposedly-time-to-rejoice, two seconds later, the lights came back.

I guess it wasn't meant for our class to be cancelled. =))

Senior Year

2009-06-06T19:10:00.005+08:00

Long time no post [= actually, Nikki-chan inspired me to write in my blog again. hahaha! I have about 2 to 3 unfinished blog drafts here and I've been too lazy to post them. Then I read Nikki-chan's blog and thought "why haven't I posted anything in mine yet?" hahaha!

And here I am, back from China... [= We came back the night of May 22.. And I wasn't able to post while in the tour, I didn't have much time. Anyway, China was fun and all, I met friends, I enjoyed my birthday there, it was much more fun than I expected it to be, and I met a guy. [=

But I'll save all the China Hoopla for next time. Today, I'm blogging because I'm here to tell you guys that now, I'm a SENiOR! hahaha [=

So far, it's going well, it's fun, it's easy [for now], and I finally have a Soul!! [=

Well, first of all, I'm an SCA [= yes, I'm a student class adviser. I ended up with the position I've always dreamt of having, but now... Well, it's not as easy as it looks. I always imagined myself being this manang that the class would listen to and look up to. I always imagined myself telling the adings to keep quiet during Sacred Silence in the morning. Even imagined myself getting mad, giving them a lecture. But now that I got the responsibility, I can't even ask them to keep quiet. hahaha! Especially this transferee ading who never listens to me and Jaja... hahaha! [= Although, I am kinda happy that Eco is my advisory class. Hahaha! [=

Next is academics. I wonder how this is going to end up this year. Well, I signed my MOA last June something. And according to the contract, I can't have a single failing grade or else I'm not allowed to join any school activities [including Red Carpet]. Cruel. I know... And they even made me write 5 pledges and that if I don't follow it, I get to decide what punishment they give me. I just wrote easy stuff in the pledges and a promissory note as the punishment.

Arcel: Grabe! Ang bigat naman ng parusa nila sa'yo. Para sa isang 83 lang?!

Hahaha! I feel like Arcel actually cared about me for one moment there. [= He's always so mean to me. Hahaha! [=

Although as of now, academics are being easy on us. It's not so hard yet compared to last year. We have our IP, which will be turned into our Thesis. We have Physics, I kind of miss Sir Ryan. Chem [again], now I don't know if I miss Ma'am Marianne or not, but I definitely like her better than our new chem teacher. I love Sir Anton, as usual, he teaches math. And I love our new literature teacher, Ma'am Jerrel, she's fun, young, she knows so much! hahaha! [= But i miss ma'am Ruth... A LOT..! [=

Another thing is college. Haha! I'm not scared, I just don't wanna go to college yet.. hahaha [= I've already given my form for UP, and I'm about to get one for Ateneo. [=

Actually, I'd prefer to be in Ateneo [= According to my tita, Ateneo would ask me to choose three teachers in my high school to say stuff about me. It'll be confidential and I'm not allowed to know what's written in it. Which means, I have to choose three nice teachers who know me. I've already decided that Sir Anton would be the first. [= I hope he doesn't let me down. Hahaha! [= Second and third, was suggested by Josh, Ma'am Lai and Ma'am Gadgad. Hahaha! Well, yea, ma'am Gadgad. But I'm not so sure about ma'am Lai.. hahaha xD I was thinking ma'am Jerrel coz shes really nice, but i don't know her that well yet and she doesn't know me so much either. :p

Next up: ANiMA ANGELORUM!! [= "Souls of the Angels" I entered Science High and met my loving angel. I was the Soul as my Angel guided me the whole year, and now, after waiting 3 long years, I'm finally an Angel. [= You have no idea how anxious and excited I was to meet my Soul that day. [= Sari said she was nervous for some reason, but I couldn't help but be excited. I kept jumping and stomping my feet when the freshmen stopped coming in between the ceremony. But eventually, the time came. There I saw Ading Jesrane [my soul's light] guiding my blindfolded Soul into FGB hall. 'yay!' was the first thing that came to my head. But then 'ohh my--. I think she's taller than me' hahaha! [=

Put your mouse over the pictures for a couple of seconds to read the caption [= Well, as you can see, the soul being taller than the angel, apparently runs in our line. Hahaha! [=

Well, that's it for now. I need to sleep and get some rest. I caught a flu yesterday and hopefully, I get better. [it's not swine flu] [=

I know my blog skin is getting pretty old, but I have no idea how to change it. I'll make a way someday, but not now. Probably sem break, months from now [if our evil principal ever decides to even give us sem break]. It's not definite when I'm going to change it, But i definitely will before the year ends. [=

Dressing Up [=

2009-04-04T11:01:00.012+08:00

Lookie! check out my new avi in gaia! [= i started going on again two weeks ago. It's been about a year [i think more] since i gave up my Gaia and gave it to Nicki. But i asked for it back.. hahahah! [= I missed it.. .^^.

Anywaayy... this isn't what I was here to talk about :D On April 11, I'm going to China for an Exchange student summer camp study tour thing... hahah! No, i'm not exactly sure what it is.. But i know it'll be fun.. [= I get to tour Beijing, make friends, wear a Chinese school uniform an hour every weekday, see the great wall -- have fun!! [=

Okay, so since it'll be a really long stay, my aunt brought me shopping for ALL the things i needed. Traveling stuff [of course]... and CLOTHES! xD Oh yesss [= we bought clothes! TONS of clothes! xD Aaand.. when i got home, i started to play dress up! hahahah! [= Here are the five favorite shirts i bought the other day [April 2, 2009].

Hahahahah! The shirt says it all! xD It's even weird, 'cause earlier that day, my grandmother [father's side] went to our house with a couple of housekeepers from our resort. She let us clean and told us what to do when certain things happen and make a mess in the house, and that we should redecorate the house and clean more often and she told us this: "You should really do housework more often. Then you'll see, it's really fun." Oh, but I couldn't agree with her at all. The only fun thing about doing housework is when I'm doing it and i'm really bored and i actually feel like it.

Then my aunt took me, my brother and little sister to SM right before lunch. And there it was hanging in front of all the other shirts on a rack in the department store: "Housework is EVIL" hahahahahah! xD

=====================================================
Okayy.. this is my next favorite shirt.. [= it's from gingersnaps... :D

It's cute. Period. hahahah! [= i like the kitty print too :D

=====================================================
NEXT! [= Let's go green with music and art [=

This one really caught my eye when I was 20 feet away from it. It's art and music put together. Do you see the paint splattered all over the music notes, the g-clef and that keyboard? It only says one thing: Art

Love it. Love it. Love it. [=

=====================================================
My second favorite shirt? This! [=

That picture you see to the right, is a really cute, adorable shirt i found in Penshoppe. [= and we all know i LOVE penshoppe. [= i love the print on it, the skull, i mean. [= it's so CUTE! :D hahahah [= and cute in my dictionary is just simply admirable/adorable. Not "ugly but desirable" hahahah xD

=====================================================
And my number one favorite shirt out of the 9 shirts i bought with my aunt? This:

Oh yess! Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends! [= When people ask me what my favorite cartoons are, I always forget to mention Foster's Home.. I haven't watched it in a long time. I caught it on Crime Suspense once [no idea why it was there], it was about... 3 or four days before we went shopping.. :D then i saw it in... guess where... the department store! :D And who said it was lame to get shirts in SM department store? I go there a lot.. who are you to judge? [= hahahah xD

And who said a normal shirt can't be the only kind of shirt i wear? [= i hate blouses, collared shirts, frilly ones, long dress-looking ones, tight firgure-y ones, low neck shirts, super thin shirts that make people see through it easily, shirts with words on the chest that make people look at your... parts.... well, basically, i don't like any other kinds of shirts besides simple, normal ones. Oh yea, don't try to change it. [=

Summer Sadness

2009-04-02T14:29:00.003+08:00

Okay! Last week, was... a bad one. Several of my beloved batchmates were terminated. Which made a lot of people cry. It was also weird how two different people can make the same thing happen on the same event but different times. Don't mind me explaining but here's how it is:

It was Red Carpet when I was first year and my angel was leaving. I gave her the huge teddy bear i bought her and the insanely long letter i wrote along with a bouquet of carnations. [i thought roses were overused.]

She hugged me and gave me her huge ear-to-ear smile and said:

Mng. Joy: Thanks, Soul! I'll miss you!
Me: I'll miss you too. [=
Mng. Joy: Soul, I have to go. Namamadali kami eh. Sorry, see you around nalang this summer.
Me: Okay. Bye.
Mng. Joy: Bye, Soul.

then she hugged me. This is the annoying part, i wanted to cry... in front of her... so she'd see that i was actually going to miss her. But no... She went out that door and i just stared. Wait for it... wait for it... there! I cried... like 30 seconds after she left. Arcel and Justin were standing right next to me, panicking, not knowing what to do. I wanted to cry on one of them, but well, tehy used to be shorter than me. Hahah! kidding.. they were shorter than me, but i didn't want to be a bother to them. So i cried on my sister when she arrived.

And next.. This year's Red Carpet. This is what happened:

Claire took a picture of me and... Justin. Which i didn't look good in.. hahah xD

Then a few minutes after that, he was leaving.. and this is how it went:

Chinky: Twinkle! he's leaving! no! he's leaving!
Twinkle: You should go talk to him! Hold on, we'll get him for you.

Then twinkle and Rovie went after him and they talked for a really short matter of time.. ten feet away from me. Next thing I know they were looking at me... then they were walking towards me. I tried to stall by taking pictures with other people. Buuuut... it didn't work.

Twinkle: He's here! Go talk to him, you'll regret it.
Rovie: Namamadali daw siya... go na!
Me: No... nevermind na... I don't want to talk to him.
Twinkle: Chinky! Go! Hurry! he's turning around! he's leaving!

Then.. he did turn around.. He did leave.. Without even coming near me.. I think.. I wouldn't know.. I was facing away from him.. But next thing I know, when I looked, he left and tears came.

It's so unfair how i can't show these people my crying face. I even felt stupid crying for no reason at all.

Another thing was unfair... Twinkle, Claire and Rovie and I, all promised that we'd take pictures with EVERYONE. Which means including the people we liked. I took a picture with Cabz, Claire took a picture with the camera guy, Jason, and Twinkle... well, the guy she likes wasn't there. Which left out Rovie... Let's call the guy she likes... umm... Guitar... since he plays the guitar.. hahah! anywayss... she was 4 feet away from "Guitar" which gave her the chance to take a picture with him. But no! She was too shy... i'm gonna kill Rovie when we get back to school. Hahah!

Anywayss... that's not all that happened that week. On March 27, my grandmother died. Earlier on, she got a stroke and apparently, something happened in her brain. But they told us she was gonna be fine, which gave me no reason to worry at all. Although later on, they said she only had less than 5% chance to make it.. Which made me worry... a lot.

Then the day after Red Carpet we got the news. My dad told us she'd died. It wasn't fair ]= she was only 69 years old, she was about to turn 70 soon, but she passed away before she got the chance. 69 is still young, my great grandfather is turning 90 and he's still alive and kicking. She was even my favorite grandma. My other grandma just gets into our nerves sometimes. But don't get me wrong, I love them both. :D

Anyway, the funeral was on March 31. Mostly old people were there, which made me feel weird. But at least I was there with my 3 siblings, one cousin and... Paul (hahah! It's weird that we're related, i don't see it myself. :p), his sister, Mng. Camille, and Carina. (his Girlfriend.)

However, this made me realize that now that my aunt, cousin and grandfather are living without my grandmother, i should visit them more often, especially since my grandfather looked like he wasn't going to be able to do anything without her. I'm gonna give them gifts on their birthdays and Christmas every year now. I've missed a lot, so probably every time i visit them, I'm gonna bring along something nice for them, maybe some food... or something... i don't know yet.. hahah [= but i'll visit them at least once a month and bring them stuff. So every time i tell them i'm visiting, they should know there's something awesome coming their way. :D
