CW10 short story part 1 of 6: NEXT TO YOU

2012-01-31T17:36:00.000-08:00

Horror convention/s used:

urban legends, presence of fog,trees near roads, ancestral house

***

It wasthe beginning of February and as days passed by, cold breeze kiss every man andwoman in the town of Rosewood. It would take you a 45-minute drive from thenearest city but a few dared to travel by night. There were urban legendsprominent in it zigzagged roads, wherein trees kept its darkest secrets, andthe fog that lurks on top scared not just the tourists but the citizens as well.

Everythingabout the dark side of the place was nothing but a mere rumour. The sheriffhimself explored and challenged himself to drive during the night time. It wasjust a myth at all.

MayaRoberts woke up to the sound of the newspaper hitting the wooden door of theirancestral house. This was actually a daily routine, it’s not like she could doanything about it, after all, it had been her alarm clock for the past sevenmonths.

“So...What else is new today huh?” complaining as she faced the mirror trying to tieher reddish-brown hair.

Someonerushed in her room to answer her, “I told you the path to Rosewood isn’t scaryat all!! The sheriff proved it, haha! It won’t work now, sissy!”. It wasMarlon, her 8-year old little brother. He was her male version, fair-skinnedwith blue eyes, and those thin lips—a version of her 13 years ago.

Choosingnot to answer back, she thought of spending the morning at the nearest cafe,two blocks away from their house. She grabbed her leather jacket-- it was herfavourite as it had fur around its collar, complementing her new pair of boots.

Thecafe was crowded, but the couch at the far corner was enough for Maya as longas she could peacefully read and people watch there. She’s used to isolation,it was in her already, but she had no knowledge of the seriousness of herisolation. She’s special, having a disease that specialist claim to be a oncein a lifetime case. Every seven months, she psychologically transforms intoanother person. It wasn’t being bipolar, for she isn’t aware of it occurring.

“Alarge cup of Caramel Macchiato, please”, she said as she was searching for hercredit card. As she looked in front of her, there he was.. Dylan Wood, the newbarista. She felt a sudden rush as she had not yet seen such hazel eyes thattotally left her speechless. She had no idea he was also captivated with hersmile.

“Andyour name, please?”

“Maya.”

“Oh,hi. I saw you last time, when I was applying. I see that was your spot overthere.”

“Yes.You’ll probably see me often, I guess.”

“Ormaybe, we could also have coffee next time?”

“Yeah,sure! Whenever you’re free”, and she blushed.

“CaramelMacchiato for Maya, have a good time!”

He waseager to know her more. #

3 words, 9 letters (CW10)

2011-12-31T06:25:00.000-08:00

Here's my CW10 Christmas break writing exercise entitled "3 words, 9 letters"

CHARACTER SKETCH:

CaseyElena Mitchell is a fifteen-year old high school student of McCreery HighSchool in California. She is a middle child and an only girl in a brood ofthree, thus, she was the rose in their family. She could be a little boyishbecause of that. Having to grow up in a family bounded by a strong love andfaith, they were raised with good values and companionship. As a result, Casey,as what everyone fondly calls her, is an optimist and is someone who couldcheer you up when you are feeling down.

Judgingby her physical appearance, she has a raven hair which falls down to her waist.Her best friend, Tristan Pierce, even described her hair as having the samecolor as the midnight sky. They have been best friends since third grade whenTristan moved to town and Casey defended him against the bullies. Casey’s housewas just beside Tristan’s , their rooms were across each other’s. She is notchubby nor skinny, just a right body. She’s 5’3’’ and has Hazel eyes.

Caseyloves answering crossword puzzles or any sort of puzzle. It could be clearlyseen that she is logical and provides useful advice when needed. Moreover, sheloves to read books. Whenever she has a vacant time, she frequently visits theschool library to grab something to read. Romance novels are also her thing,that’s where she gets most of the advices she gives. She thinks that there’smore to love than just the perfect things. On the other hand, she hates readingtragic novels, for she thinks that they just increase the world’s negativity.

Secretly,she sees Tristan beyond the friendship zone, but even though she knows thatTristan is in love with somebody else, she still wants the best for her bestfriend.

WRITING EXERCISE:

3Words, 9 Letters

A faint imprint of a small hand restedon my cheek as I headed home. The flowing tears did nothing but make the marksting even more. But the pain on my cheek was nothing compared to the pain inmy heart.

Suddenly, a voice called for me and Islowly stopped.

“Where were you? And… What happened?”

A look of anger descended uponCasey’s- my best friend- face as she examined me closer.

“Way to rub it in, Casey.” I muttered,glaring at my raven-haired best friend.

“Well, that’s what I’m here for.” Sheshrugged as she punched my shoulder.

“I still don’t understand why she leftme. I planned everything perfectly—dates, gifts, flowers!”

She looked into my eyes like shealways does when she was about to tell me something serious. “Maybe that’s yourmistake.”

“How?” I asked, really bewildered. “IfI didn’t plan it, it wouldn’t be perfect!”

“Well, boys would be boys.” She said.“You know, the imperfect things, random and utterly spontaneous, are the thingsthat make love… love.”

“I really did love her, Casey.” I shotback.

“Good for you. Well, do you remember whenyou said that you’d die if she wasn’t yours?”

“Of course. Why?”

“Well, you’re still alive.” She saidas she pedaled faster. “Figure it out.”

Days passed since our break up. Eventhough the imprint on my cheek was gone, my heart’s far from healing.

I climbed through my bedroom windowand sat on the roof. The stars were twinkling and the clouds were nowhere insight. It’s indeed a perfect evening. I heard Casey’s footsteps as she wenttowards her bedroom window, which was right across mine. She slipped throughher window and stepped on the branch of the tree that was separating us.

“Hey there.” She greeted, ever sobrightly. Some people never change.

“Hi.”

“Trying to be emo again? You need tostop regretting things.” She scolded.

“But I loved her.”

“I can’t believe that I’m saying this, but,you really need to let go. If you really love her, you should let her behappy.”

“But, I can’t. It’s like my world iscrumbling without her.”

A look of pain encompassed herfeatures for a fleeting second before her smile lit her face again.

“Well, if that’s the case,” she saidas she stood up, I noticed that her hair was the same color as the midnight skyand her eyes twinkled as bright as the stars. She made her way back to herwindow with a series of quick and graceful steps. Halfway through, she said, “Tellher the three words that every girl wants to hear.”

“What?” I asked after her. Then sheslipped through her window. A second later, her head poked through. “I… waswrong.”

Then she disappeared, leaving mecompletely confused once more.

I shrugged my shoulders and started togo towards my bedroom. When I was finally free of the night’s clutches, I movedtowards my bathroom and started to brush my teeth. Casey’s words still filledmy thoughts, leaving me to ponder them in silence. I was bewildered. That wasfor sure, but I still couldn’t get rid of the guilty feeling that I had becauseI knew that I was supposed to be sad, but somehow, I was happy too.

With these unsettling thoughts, Iwalked towards my bed and rummaged through the sheets for my music player. Iturned on all the emo songs and then, I fell asleep.

***

After class, I looked pass otherstudents until I finally saw her. My heart started to pound, but this time, it’salmost like the feeling that I get when I was about to do something wrong. ButI shrugged the feeling away. I love Erin… right?

“Erin!” I shouted, but my voice waslost. I ran towards her, vying for attention. “Erin! I was - !”

Then she suddenly turned around andwalked away with a blonde guy. They continued to go away and I whispered,“wrong”.

It felt wrong because I didn’t feeljealous or angry . . . just disappointed.

I turned around with battlingemotions. I ran towards the library, where I knew Casey would be.

As I entered the vast area, Iimmediately noticed her because of our friendship shirt. I started feeling likea child who was given a lollipop. Just the sight of Casey made everything alright.Then, I knew it.

“Casey!” I shouted, not noticing thatI was in the library.

She turned around and smiled at me. Iwas awestruck. As I approached her, I had a myriad of emotions. Before I knewit, I was hugging her.

“I was wrong.”

Then she hugged me tighter.

I guess it was just about time.

Random Day

2011-12-29T04:32:00.000-08:00

Yes! Today was just a random day turned into a fun one! I woke as early as 6 am and started preparing. I was going to claim my stipend from the Iskolar ng Bataan and I went there with Sheen. After an hour of waiting, we successful got our 6k!!! Yey! We headed for a short walk, went to Jollibee and stopped by Pat's place but stayed for a while. I was really sleepy so I just lay down in our bed while I was texting Rico. I fell asleep for a moment and woke up with his text asking if we could eat lunch together. Of course we ate lunch together!! We ate and stayed in Beanery and we're just exchanging stories until he had to go. Then, I decided to text Sheen and went back to Pat's place. Hayyyy!! We played and played and played and even Jonnah was there with us! This really is a super tiring day but I still have to finish composing my cw10 story. No pictures! Hahahahaha.

Happy holidays!

2011-12-27T03:34:00.000-08:00

Yey! Merry Christmas everyone! There's nothing more to tell since we're just celebrating the holidays at home. Lots of food and coke!!! ;) we had our yearly exchange gift and as usual, Magic Sing was never absent! We took pictures cause I also needed them for my plus points on our English 10 class! Thank you, Maam Tomacder! ;) As you can see, we had a motif!! It's a blue and white Christmas! :D

Ofcourse, it's 25! Happy 30th monthsary, Rico! I love you! >:D< i hope i get to see you wear your new shoes! ;) ;) ;) hihi! And... I'm so proud of you!

********************************************************************************

Last night, Rico and I were on Skype and I was telling him that we should purchase a Moonleaf 2012 planner. He told me he posted a photo of a planner which was way 'cooler' than the Moonleaf one. So I hurriedly checked our FB group (yes, we have an fb group) and instead, I saw this: =)))))))))))))))))))))))))

Hahahaha!!! It was soooo funny since before that, he kept on teasing me 'bout my wacky faces on my "Christmas 2011" album on Facebook. He told me that I was always 'pacute' and he kept on linking me back to those photos. Hahaha i've been laughing all night because of his continuous teasing and then told me he posted something on our group again...

But out of all he posted, this is the funniest:

WHAT A WAY TO MAKE MY NIGHT! THANKS!!! >:D< hihihi

December!!!

2011-12-06T23:24:00.001-08:00

OURS :)

Finally reached 10,000 tweets hahahaha #random =))

Finally, it's December!!! I know you've all been waiting for the holiday season! There are a lot of things to lokk forward to! Especially the vacation =))

My 1st day of December unexpectedly turned out great. Physics10 and Kas1 had free cuts so I was able to go to the tambayan.I really thank myself for accomplishing all the homeworks before the deadlines, I didn't have to worry anything after that.

Since the next day's Yana's birthday, I thought of giving her a little surprise since we'd prolly not see each other on the afternoon, next day.

Dinner was her treat! Teriyako Boy + chopsticks101 = fun!!! Thanks clingy girlfriends!!! :)

December 2, well, it was quite a normal day. Nicole, Yana and I had our lunch date at Rodic's. Then I was off to our PE class. Hayyy that was the most tiring of all the tiring PE classes I've had for this semester. I wasn't able to go to the tambayan because of the extreme exhaustion I felt. I just went back to the dorm and took a rest before my tutorial session.

Honestly, having to tutor a kid's really great. I feel a sense of responsibility and the urge to teach him everything so that he could do well in school. As of now, I'm reviewing him for his exams and I even made a reviewer!!!

3rd of December!!! YOU KNOW WHAT IT IS!!! Happy happy happy birthday, Hazel Ann Bernabe!! I wish you all the happiness in the world!! I'm so proud of you, besh!! PLEAAAAASE COME HOME!!! And let's fulfill all our plans! (Hit the beach, study in UP Diliman, shop in tiangges, etc.) :) I miss you! I love you and we're never too old for "bestfriend forever!" :D

I spent my weekend at home and yes, I was productive. I'm really getting used to this busy atmosphere and good thing I get to manage my time wisely!!!

Org Stuff:
This is my creative biography! So grateful to Huey Tsai for helping me do this bakla stuff! I love you highwayhihuey!!! :)

We've now started our 9-day buddy building. Here's what we've accomplished so far:

And yes, as we were accomplishing all those tasks and attending org events, I have to manage my time wisely. I cannot just absent myself from tutoring because it was my tutee's exams week. I had four exams waiting for me: for Eng10, I have to memorize all sorts of MLA citation formats, study a novel for CW10 then Math100 and Physics10 first long exams. Am really hoping for the best!!!

ETC's Highschool discussion: K+12 issue (I was one of the receptionists and wrote names on the certificates!)

ETC's Kapihan: Debate and Public Speaking Competition (I met ate Jucine! Yeyyyy!)

Then, I shopped or gifts, bonded with my dormmates, ate and took pictures together. >:D<

Weeeeell, my first UP Lantern Parade!!!!! Yey!

ETC Christmas Party!

I am a part of ETC's Pub Committee! And we have this pub tasks where we're trained to produce pubmats using Photoshop. Here's my first output:

I'M SO EXCITED!!! :)

RIP, Baby.

2011-11-29T00:12:00.001-08:00

I wasquite in a hurry this morning when my sister texted me, “I have news”. Then Iasked her what her news was. Then she told me, “Wag ka magugulat.” And I saidokay and waited for her reply. Then when I opened her next message, it said,“Patay na si Baby..”. So I instantly called her and yes, Baby’s really dead.

Unacceptable.I was crying until our first period, I could not absorb it. I remembered thatshe’ll always be giddy every time I come home and she waves her tail whenever Icall her name. She was our adopted dog for more than a year and she used toalways sleep underneath the table in our terrace.

I wasnot into dogs. As a matter of fact, I hated them. It was more of hating thanbeing scared. And all of that vanished when she became a part of our family.Bathing her was so much fun. Then, they would ask me to feed her because theyknow that I wasn’t afraid of Baby. And she really loves it when I play withher. I was supposed to buy a costume for her when I was at the bazaar. Andbelieve me, this isn’t over acting.

I willmiss you baby! I love you so much!!! Thanks for being there :(

Compromise

2011-11-28T08:01:00.000-08:00

Sigh.

This is another one of those fights we had always been to. Another of those young couples’ arguments. Both of us transform into these evil creatures defending our own points. But I totally hate the fact that this could not be resolved in just a day.

“Okay. I want to sleep”, I said.

He replied, “Right now?”

“Yes. Good night, love you.”

“Okay. Good night. I love you.”

Let me make everything clear, for the both of us, this short-and-direct-to-the-point-texting is unusual. As far as I am concerned, we end our messages with “Ü” and say “I love you” instead of just “love you”. You could say we are too technical but those are just some of the ways of how we survived these two and a half years of relationship.

Whenever we do not resolve a conflict, I usually try and just sleep everything away. Sleep as a form of escape? Well trust me, it is quite effective. But, just like everyone else, everything that we have argued about replays in my mind.

“I should have told him that...” is all I can say to myself. I know that everything will be okay but this kind of pain is not something that should be taken for granted. Petty conflicts like this should NEVER be taken for granted.

And then, I realized that I need to wake up at 4:30 A.M., so, I decided to doze off.

The next morning, my family and I had an early breakfast because me and my sister need to leave before or at exactly 6:30 A.M. Kristin, my sister, has to be early for her 7:30 class and my dad will just have to drive me to the nearest bus terminal.

My sister was coughing terribly. She caught my mother’s attention.

“Are you okay? Are you going to absent today?”, Mother asked her.

Kristin replied, “I think so, I feel dizzy. I guess I will just take a rest.”.

OKAY. So I was left asking, “What about me? I woke up this early for you and all of a sudden, you’re absent?”

I thought of taking a nap first while waiting for 7:30. It was too early for me to leave, and am too sleepy to travel alone. My parents advised me not to sleep on the bus every time I travel alone, so yeah, I have to catch some zzz’s. And finally, after a number of days... I had a dream.

My best friends, Sheen, Pat, Tien, Ivana, and I were at an unknown place. At first everything was foggy and dim, but as everything became clearer, we were in a house, just a typical residence with a semi-furnished touch. However, in that dream, I own the house.

I was holding my black retractable Pilot pen and sort of admiring its grip when suddenly, “Hey, is that a paper rolled inside my pen?”

Pat answered, “I think so, just check it out.”

The paper resembled a old, brownish parchment. The type of which you usually see in treasure maps and messages in bottles. As I was unrolling it, the inside part of the paper can be compared to a charcoal art. Two images were illustrated—both can be seen on horror documentaries wherein the first one was a demon-like creature while the other was an apparition of a dead old lady.

But, what shocked me the most was when the old lady’s picture moved. Her mouth was mumbling things—maybe cursing was more appropriate. Of course I shouted, I was in deep fear, I wasn’t in a Harry Potter movie, so that picture has no right to move.

Everyone wondered, “Hey, what happened?”.

“I do not know how this scary picture managed to move and curse me.”

Instinctively, I grabbed my phone and tried to text my boyfriend. But whenever I type a word, nothing was displayed on the screen, I was typing but the letters were invisible. I tried writing, but the same happened, it’s as if I was using an invisible pen. So, I WAS REALLY CURSED. I was forbidden to express my thoughts through writing, typing and such. The good thing was, at the very least, I was able to speak.

“Maybe that is why it was rolled into a pen. Well, a pen is a primary need to write, and so, the curse was related to it.”, I shared to them. Oh how genius of me! But why me?

I was too thankful my best friends helped and assisted me. They were even volunteering their selves to type text messages or emails I needed to send. But what I was more thankful of was, it was only just a dream.

I opened my eyes despite the strong gravitational pull of the sofa. I needed to get up.

I started fixing my stuff. We will be leaving in less than 3o minutes. I must not forget anything or else I’m screwed. Chargers, check. Clothes and undergarments, double check. School stuff, check. Food, mother will take care of it. Laptop, check. Surely, my boyfriend’s still asleep and I just have to wait for 8 A.M. to ring him.

I was inside our room scanning through the books placed on our newly-installed book shelf. Every scan reminded me a vivid memory I’ve had when I was reading each of them. But despite not having a physical copy of the book “Love Story”, its tag line kept repeating inside my head. Maybe because of the existing conflict I have with him.

“Love means never having to say you’re sorry.”

I figured that we just need to compromise and sort things out. Well, that’s what we always do and we end up being okay anyway. It is that positive thought that keeps us going, there’s something that makes the both of us come back. I always keep my fingers crossed.

“Hi.”

“Hello.”

“What now?”

“It’s up to you.”

“What do you want to talk about?”

“You think of a topic.”

“You.”

“I don’t know.”

“Me too.”

“I want to see you tomorrow, are you free?”

“Yes..”

Sixteen Going On Seventeen

2011-11-28T04:12:00.000-08:00

(THIS IS MY FIRST ENG10 WRITING EXERCISE ON NARRATIVE-DESCRIPTIVE ESSAY, I GOT AN 11 OUT OF 16 POINTS AND RECEIVED A SMILEY FACE FOR A SATISFACTORY OUTPUT)

I woke up at around seven o'clock in the morning, hearing nothing but "Happy birthday, Macon!". I was more surprised when both my parents told me to invite my classmates and friends. I was previously reminded that our whole household will undergo "budget cut". Without further ado. I asked everyone if they're available at lunch time. Some of my best friends weren't responding and my boyfriend told me that he can't go, since it was his mom's birthday. After that, my best friend, Pat, texted me that her arm was fractured after trying to chase her puppy, so, she can't go. Then, I asked the rest of my friends to just head to Pat's place before the celebration.

I tucked-in my royal blue polo into my orange floral skirt. It was something I've prepared for that day, like a birthday outfit. I was in a hurry because that day, April 11, 2011, was the start of pre-enlistment period and I felt giddy now that I can arrange and decide my own schedule.

As I opened the door, there were party poppers and colorful confetti as everyone simultaneously shouted, "Surprise! Happy birthday!" All of my best friends and my boyfriend were present, even some of my classmates were there, too. We were inside Pat's music room which was the door before the stairs going up to their house (their clinic is on the ground floor). I first gazed upon the ceiling and saw the white balloons filled with dedications. Their green walls were decorated with banners and a tarpaulin. As I looked down the table, there were drinks and food for us to enjoy. Finally, I was seated at the chair beside the said table, where each of them gave either a red or white roses and had their pictures taken with me. It wasn't my 18th birthday yet, but I felt like a princess-- overwhelmed by the love from my family and friends.

The Freshmen--they are the small fry in the shark filled ocean of UP, the bottom of the food chain. No other type of person looks as naive, innocent, and prankable as the college freshman. It has become tradition in UP for older years to pick on freshmen. There's something about a young ignorant person that makes them irresistible to pull wool over his face. For several decades, freshmen have been picked on by everyone in every way possible. From just plain old laughing at their insecurity, as they entered college for the first time, to the timeless "TBA prank." College is a cut throat survival of the fittest universe, where only the wily survive. Yet despite all the social dangers that freshmen face, not all are the same. Some are just more suited to dealing with these culture shocks, while others not so much, and a few who manage to stay somewhere in between. Here, we look at how freshmen stack up against each other.

To understand your quarry, you must first know about your quarry's surroundings. And what are surroundings of freshmen? The Freshie Walk of course! To get a detailed view of the Freshie Walk, out group needed to interview people who knew that place well. Of course you can't interview freshmen who've only been there for less than a year. So we interviewed the sari-sari store vendors and asked them what the Freshie Walk is and was like. From what we learned, there was a time when the Freshie Walk was a dangerous place to be in. With all sorts of hold-uppers, frat gangs and other criminals, it literally was a dangerous place to be in for anyone, let alone a freshman. Fortunately less violence occurs these days on the Freshie Walk thanks to the security guards.Times have changed, and with that change, culture and people change.

But the question remains: What are freshman like these days? Well, to find out we interviewed a few freshmen who walked passed us at the Freshie Walk, and from the data we gathered there and data we already knew, I was able to paint a picture of the general types of freshmen. The most common type is the "Pack Freshman." These freshmen are those who still retain their high school lakwatsa attitude and therefore generally stick to each other. Often times they are quite noisy, walk slowly, and travel in groups ranging from 5 people to 50. Another common freshman is the "Shy Type." As the name suggests, they usual keep to themselves, don't talk very much, and generally seem to be content being a "minion" when forced to be in a group of people. The reason for their being shy is because they either have not yet coped with college, or they really are trying hard to be a misfit just to be cool (we call that emo).Then there's what I like to call the "Ignorant Freshman." This kind of freshman is not necessarily intellectually lacking, but as the name suggests, is quite ignorant. They usually are an outgoing type of person, often times sociable, hence ask questions a lot, they seem to always be lost geographically, and never really fully see situations objectively. Often times, they get frustrated easily when they get a grade of 3.00, not realizing that this has more benefits than drawbacks.

There were all kinds of freshmen passing by Freshie Walk, most of them coming or going back to their dorms. A lot of them we actually knew personally. But of all the thousands of freshman students in UP, there are a few select individuals that stand out of the crowd. This freshman is the elusive "Super Freshman." These people are the freshmen who hit the ground running. These are the people that familiarize themselves with the new sights and sounds of college way ahead of time. They know how to hide their being a freshman to avoid getting picked on. Yet they still use their freshman "innocence" as leverage to get what they need. They are silent when the occasion calls for it, but they step up when given the chance. They may not all be as intellectually gifted as others, but they have all the streets smart you will ever need in your lifetime.

After our "study" and stereotyping of the freshmen along Freshie Walk, we reached a conclusion. It is clear that there are several different types of freshmen, but we think there are really only two main categories of them: the old and the new. We go back to what the store vendors told us, that things aren't as uncivilized as they were before. In the olden times, people were less open to culture due to the lack of communication advancements such as cellphones and internet. This made the old freshman much more naive and easy to pick on. But with new communication advancements, the modern day freshman is now less likely to fall for the good old TBA prank. Today, the type of freshman you are, or were, is quite negligible. These days, there's not much to get victimized by. But what time will never change is the stage of being a freshman, and trying to learn the basic survival skills in college. If you use your wits, common sense, and determination, any freshman is sure to survive the crazy cultures here in UP.

P.S. I do not advise stereotyping people as it is not good practice...not saying it isn't fun every so often :)

The Speak Now World Tour Live is already available locally guys!!! Buy me a copy!!! :D and if you’re all too kind, you could also order the Journey to Fearless for me :D for 800php only!!! HAHAHAHA link:

Screw me! Haven’t blogged after almost 3 weeks! Well, so far, my second semester’s a blast!!!

Creative Writing 10 – as far as you are concerned, this class doesn’t just require us to be writers. For you to be able to write a good piece, you must also be a reader at the same time. We are tasked to read poems and novels which I personally think would exercise our critical thinking. I know that this would be helpful in my blogging career. :-bd I LOVE THE EL BIMBO VARIATIONS!!!

Physics10 – so far, this is one of my most entertaining classes, and by that I mean, this class would definitely give you the laughs. I don’t know how Prof. Bantang does it but he always gives these good vibes. He really resembles my Chemistry teacher in high school... Sir Reynan, they’re bald, funny and great teachers!!! :D

Kas1 – I was quite nervous when I had no idea who my professor was. My friends told me that their professors were those ‘terror’ types but thank God, mine wasn’t one of them!!! Hi Prof. Wani J

Last November 23, Chea, Bella and I watched the Noli Me Tangere: The Opera. We weren’t required to watch the show but I promised myself to watch all the Dulaang UP plays in my entire college years. AS USUAL, IT’S TOO GREAT!!!!!!!!!! Though, I won’t be writing another reaction paper for this, but surely, the characters were superb. Sisa was sensational! And her two sons (the actors) were so talented even at a young age. All the characters were well chosen and the actors gave justice to their roles. Here’s my blurred picture with the actor who played Crispin:

And for the good news... I already signed up for an organization! It’s UP ETC or Economics Towards Consciousness which obviously, is an Econ-based org J

Here’s a short information about the organization: (credits to ETC, got this from the booklet)

UP ETC—Is the only academic-political organization based in the UP School of Economics composed of Economics, Business Economics and other degree majors.

History: The late 70’s was a time for social and political turmoil and the Marcos dictatorship could neither hide behind the facades of peace and progress it sought to project nor through outright repression with quell dissent among people. It was in this context that twelve economics students led by founding Chairperson Orville Solon, now part of the UPSE faculty, formally established then the UP Economics Towards Consciousness on February 10, 1979. Throughout history, ETC has consistently endeavoured to bring life the objectives of unity, consciousness and action for which it was founded.

I’m really excited to be a part of their family, I have even started going to their tambayan J

However, I’m still a part of the SIDHI family, the official publication of the School of Economics. Here are the two newsletters where you can find my articles:

July 2011 - http://issuu.com/sidhi/docs/july_2011

October 2011 - http://issuu.com/sidhi/docs/oct_2011

November 25—Happy 29^th monthsary!!! J we spent the afternoon together in Makati, dined at Italianni’s (yeaaaaahhhhh we’re super broke) and Rico was my shopping buddy! Hihi enjoyed shopping at f21! I love you!!! <3

I spent my weekend at Yana Corral’s place and we went shopping at the bazaar across their subdivision!!! Super fun and tiring but worth it! Imagine, I purchased 12 pieces of clothing for 470php! I love you forever baby girl, thank you soooooo much! <3

I’ll keep you posted, guys. I’ll be uploading my CW10 writing exercises in this blog (requirement) and I may also include some of my English10 activities too :)

Second Semester

2011-11-09T05:16:00.000-08:00

I've felt different emotions as I woke up this morning. There's this eagerness to redeem myself but I also felt scared. Or should I say, it's that feeling when we are too nervous since today's the first day of classes and we don't wanna screw up nor introduce ourselves in front of unknown people.

So to sum everything up, so far, the start of my second sem had been good. And I just had my most GV class a while ago... Math100! :D my prof's young, funny, crazy but credible. I bet I'd definitely learn a lot while having fun at the same time. I thought that it is a good way of starting my school days. Starting everything with a smile :D

Another interesting class was English10. We were asked to write about our expectations and then our prof made follow-up questions based on what we've written on our index cards. I said that I expect this course to enhance my writing abilities since writing has been my passion and I also expect this course to help me improve my manner of blogging. So Ms. Tomacder questioned why writing is my passion and I answered that I became in love with writing during the time that I was a campus journalist. She even thought that I was taking up BS Journalism, so she wondered why I chose Business Economics, and I responded, "Because I also love Math".. Then after that, I processed everything that has happened and I thought.. "Well, I may love Math, but that doesn't necessarily mean that Math loves me back." :(

My dormmates and I met and went window shopping at the tiangges near Mang Larry's isawan. Oh well, that was our first bonding inside the UP Campus! :) weeeeee, everything was worth it (we didnt eat lunch, actually) despite the extreme heat!

Then I was off to my last class.. PE 2 Futsal! Yey, I'm really looking forward to learn the sport and to get to know my classmates. Also, our prof's nice, so I think I won't have any problems with regards to it.

I spent the entire afternoon buying school stuff and my Calculus book. I also shopped and bought gifts (early Christmas shopping!) and fixed my scholarship requirements. Yes! This is definitely a tiring day and I have to do advance reading so I'll go now! ;)

Goodbye October, Goodbye Sembreak

2011-11-07T21:31:00.000-08:00

Last October 31, we celebrated Shan’s 9^th birthday. Since he’s an avid fan of the infamous Angry Birds, we decided to give him a 12-pc. Angry Birds cupcakes. Red Velvet Cupcakes are no failure!

The next day was Roan’s birthday. It has always been a “tradition” to celebrate my brother and my sister’s birthdays every 1^st of November. It's already given that there won’t be a lot of visitors since it’s All Saints’ Day but several people were part of that “tradition” and often came to celebrate.

Later then, I was singing with all of my heart in our magic sing. What’s Up and Bohemian Rhapsody were my top choices. Well, I do hope I haven’t disturbed our neighbourhood.

Father went home last November 2. That day was some sort of a 'tamad' day since I was just stuck at home. Fortunately/Unfortunately, I thought of decorating our sala since Christmas is fast approaching and voila!!! With all the available resources... our living room became like this: *proud moment*

November 3: Enrolment Day. My day turned out to be a great one though. Not-so-hassle enrolment, met my friends and block mates, had milk tea, went to the mall and dined with my family. And by 4:30 PM, we were already home. I’m so proud to show you my form5 and my schedule for the second semester:

Marian’s Gonna Be Legit—November 5. Yeah, it’s the first debut I've ever attended (Celina’s debut was a surprise party and we were the organizers). I was one of her 18 shots. I really really enjoyed the food since I was extremely starving from the 5-hour travel full of traffic. My block mates and I had fun at the photo booth and I bet Marian celebrated her day with a big smile on her face.

So after the party, I slept at our dorm, good thing I got to watch the newest episode of New Girl =)) and I went home the next day.

Yesterday, I was with Jonnah, Ariana and Celina. And finally, we’ve already watched Praybeyt Benjamin. Quite predictable but will surely give you the laughs! I just didn’t like Vice Ganda and Derek Ramsay’s scenes, I thought those scenes were inappropriate. Yeah, I felt uncomfortable while laughing at the same time. Though, you’d definitely enjoy watching a movie like that when you’re with your friends.

But before we went to the cinema, I was at Pat’s place attempting to copy the 7^th and 8^th episodes of the Secret Circle. Too bad, my hard drive’s malfunctioning.

I’m now back at our dorm. I thought I should be excited since I’m reunited with my girl friends. However, the fact that I’ll be home again for a weekly basis depresses me. I love this “chill” feeling and I just hope that I could savour it longer. Back to reality it is. I hope I could blog as often as possible.

Farewell Sembreak and now I’m looking forward to my Christmas vacation. Oh well! Hello, allowance! Hello Second Semester! I’ll do better this time!

Loving Sembreak

2011-10-28T21:10:00.000-07:00

Before anything else, I'm going to share what my bestfriend told me during our chat.. "Noong pumunta kami sa Hawaii, sa susunod na araw, sabi ni Saul, umulan ng lakas. Yun lang yung araw na malakas yung ulan dito. Noong sinabi niya sa akin, natawa ako kasi naalala ko yung blog mo: 'It Rains When You're Gone' :P Ang galing naman kako ng symbolism."

I loveeeeeeettt! It really proves that people instantly think of my blog whenever they hear or read the words IT RAINS WHEN YOU'RE GONE. I'm sorry darling, but nothing beats the original. :P

Our section (4th year - Neptune) decided to organize a surprise party for our first debutante, Celina :D We’ve started planning since finals week and made sure that all of us could attend the said event. Unfortunately, the first proposed date wasn’t appropriate, so they’d chosen to hold it last October 27 which was earlier. So, some of us weren’t present at the party. Sadly, we still need to push it through. But every effort was all worth it. It was a memorable night for Cel, for her family and for us.

Preparation period:

On the day itself, my friends and I forced ourselves to wake up as early as possible. We met up, claimed the balloons, bought flowers and went to the caterer before lunch time. At 12nn, we started putting up the tarpaulin which will serve as our photo booth background. After that, we arranged the balloons to form an aisle towards the center stage and we also designed the tables.

At 2pm, we took a break and went to Chen’s place. Eating lunch with your close friends is really incomparable. It’s as if we’re high school-ers again—same jokes, same stories. After that, we started prepping ourselves up. Good thing I brought my tooth brush! Make-up, flat iron, dresses, skirts, cute tops, shoes—i love eeeeeeetttt!!! :D

More preparation followed after we came back from Chen’s. This time, visitors began to arrive and the halls getting livelier. It was nice catching up with friends! And we’re all excited on how would Cel react when she arrives. PHOTOBOOTH CHATS JOKES, ETC.

*SURPRISE!!!!! :D*

Flow of event: NOTE THAT THERE WERE MAJOR CHANGES WITH REGARDS TO THE PROGRAM. AM TOO LAZY TO EDIT IT.

Programme
(lights out) (Spotlight kay Kendrick)
I. Si Celina hahatid ni Kendrick sa upuan. Pag kaupo ni Cel, bubukas lahat ng ilaw. “SURPRISE!!”
II. Introduction (iintroduce si Cel)
(papalitan si cel) (habang pinapalitan…)
III. Welcome ng mom ni celina yung visitors.
IV. Prayer – Kaykay
V. Facts about kay Celina
VI. 18 Roses (names ng partners pagkatapos )
VII. Eating time!!!
VIII. 18 Shots (sabihin kung ano meron sa 18 shots: message tungkol kay cel, mga memories shared/parang nagrremenisce)
IX. 18 Candles (sabihin kung ano meron: sasabihin ang wish kay Celina)
X. Slicing ng cake (tas susubuan ni Cel yung mom and dad niya)
XI. PARTY!!!!! (dance floor)
XII. Celina’s message
XIII. Thank you message ng mom and dad ni cel
XIV. Prayer
XV. Picture/Photobooth with the debutante

After that, more photo booth moments, cleaned the place, said our goodbyes and then... home bound! Well not for me, since I slept over at Pat’s place. (sleep over it is, since we were just too tired and we were really sleepy) =))

October 28 was BMSI’s United Nations Celebration. My brother was a Chinese and my sister’s Hawaiian. Hehez no picture, sorry :P

After the program, Chen and I went to her place. I uploaded the 396 photos from yesterday since there’s no internet at home. Then, Mcdo with my siblings and after that, it’s time for pampering!

I love my nails!

I love my new hair!

Next day, Rico and I went on a date. We were supposed to dine at Max’s but it was too crowded so we settled for Beanery instead. After that... Hello, Marquee mall! Yey!! Shopping with my family :> Bought 2 shoes, a tote bag, a cardigan, a shirt and a blouse! I loooove it! No pictures of them, though! Hahaha, hello sister hihi ;)

A while ago, I was out with my high school classmates again! After eating lunch, it was already an all-girls bonding and we just went food tripping! ;)

Happy halloween! \:D/

BLOG REVIVAL

2011-10-26T08:43:00.000-07:00

College-- now I'm facing the reality. It's been five months since I last blogged and certainly, this semester had been tough, not just for me, but also for my batch mates. This was a major turning point-- a phase full of adjustments and doubts. We don't have any choice but to rely on ourselves to be able to come up with the best decision as we take on this zigzagged path.

I've learned a lot and I've faced many realizations. Some of these broke my heart, for they were disappointing. Nevertheless, all of them changed me. I stood up with a new perspective but I haven't given up that goal of graduating with flying colors.

Most of the time, I would say that high school’s too easy, and my friends couldn't agree more! I laugh at those who think that they're already carrying the world whenever they complain about their high school dilemmas. I say, that those stuffs are just mere preparations towards the wrath of college. At first I thought, "hey, this is what I was looking for, I wanna be active in my home college, be friendly and just balance everything...". Well, NO. Even I, who was ecstatic of the upcoming responsibilities, found balancing hard. I didn't even join an organization for this semester just to help myself cope with the toughness of the adjustment period. Discipline, motivation and focus accompany balance and I assure you of two things: one, having an organizer/planner is very helpful and two, I guarantee that you'll be tempted by a whole lot of distractions.

Independence isn't always a good thing. Yes, I was excited since I could go out with my friends, go mall-hopping, dine every night and do whatever I like but at the end of the day, I always miss home. Every week's an obstacle and it gets tougher whenever I can't come home. I learned how to eat on a restaurant without any company around. I stood up with my own feet and embraced my independence in moderation.

One more important thing that you should possess when you're in college is self-confidence. And with that confidence implies that we should never under- and overestimate ourselves because it will just be the cause of our own destruction. Somehow, it happened to me. I disappoint and hurt myself whenever I didn't get a satisfying grade. Thus, I lose motivation. But I finally got pass through it, so I doubled my efforts and hopefully, those efforts shall all be worth it.

Being "petiks" isn't a trend in college. For the first time in my life, I felt dumb for everyone's smarter and that I have no advantage. But later on, I embraced my uniqueness and kept in mind that I'm in UP cause I'm also one of them, I belong. But of course, I should WORK HARD to prove it. So, the secret is: we should learn to try again, to stand up after a lot of downfalls and after standing up, we should strive harder. Remember that we are always competing against ourselves.

As they say, in college almost everything changes. I learned how to dress well. It’s not that I’m being “maarte” but it’s more on looking presentable and ready when the situation calls for it. My classes are from Tuesdays to Fridays. So, I make it to the point that I exert effort in dressing for school. It isn’t so tough since I wear my PE uniform every Tuesday and Thursday.

I’ve met new friends. Bunch of them! As a matter of fact, I was elected as our section’s blockhead. I was overwhelmed by how those people trusted me as early as our first day in college. Hi, E-2! Best block full of the best people! :D Moreover, I’ve made my own circle of friends where I can be myself and I thank them for helping me adjust on my first semester in UP.

Aside from that, I’ve also become friends with my dorm mates! And I love those girls to death! Their company kept me sane as I was struggling with my homesickness and college obstacles. We’ve shared good stories, laughs and secrets. We always sing and take pictures together. We consider ourselves clingy and I’ll surely miss them when the time that we are no longer together, comes.

I learned how to appreciate social networking sites, as of now. Twitter has been my best friend ever since I discovered BB Social. I check my mail everyday because if I don’t, I’ll surely miss an important update from my professor. My Facebook groups increased as college progressed. You’re tasked to change your display photo into something that shows promotion. Papers and other home works are submitted electronically. While readings and lectures are uploaded online too. Google docs, Yahoo groups and text brigades. And of course, enlisting online via crs.upd.edu.ph. OH YES, THAT’S UP LIFE FOR YOU.

EVENTS:

1st Day:

Acquaintance Party:

Freshie Bonding/Barkada Week:

**************

My subjects:

Comm3—Prof. Niel Kenneth Jamandre

This has been my best class so far. Every activity was worth it. Under Sir Ken’s supervision, I was motivated to work harder as I also enjoy every second of the public speaking journey. Honestly, I hated speaking in front of the crowd, and I thought that Comm3 was probably the last subject I’d take. But thanks to Ate Jucine, I was convinced to enlist this course since she referred to this as an essential. I highly recommend you to enlist Comm3 under Sir Jamandre. First and foremost, he is soooo coooool! He also gives justifiable grades and he is funny in a sense that nobody gets offended. He also delivers the topics well, and gives you activities that will surely hone your skills and talents.

Rating: 5 stars

Geog1—Prof. Anabelle Cruz

Yes, the ‘unoable’ Geog1. As they all say, Geog1 won’t be complete without Geog Camp. To ensure you get an uno, you must memorize everything, participate well, submit requirements and join the camp! (plus 0.25 in your final grade!)

On the other hand, Geog Camp was fun but I haven’t enjoyed it entirely since there was no signal coverage! Good thing UP Pep won the CDC Championship Title again! Moreover, it was my first time to experience the mudslide and the zipline. Wish I could do all of them again with my friends!

Rating: 4 stars

Geol1—Prof. Eddie Listanco

This had been the most boring subject ever. Imagine yourself in a symposium or any formal discussion without any idea what they’re all talking about. Nevertheless, I didn’t regret taking this class even though its exams always conflict with our Math17 Les. I could manage to survive and pass the exam without even reviewing (as long as you pay attention during the discussion). But after my grade was given, I told myself that I could’ve done better.

Rating: 3 stars

Econ11—Prof. Emmanuel de Dios and Prof. Prince Cruz

I love the discussion classes! “Pinagpala ang bayan na ang Diyos ay ang Panginoon.” – this is a classic. Economics made me realize how miserable our country is. Knowing that corruption cannot be cured and that other poorer countries have now overtaken us. I won’t forget Sir de Dios’ laser pointer and how he would laugh at his own stories which we all find cute. In addition to that, I was really inspired with what our Econ11 discussion prof., Prince Cruz, had shared during our last meeting. You surely owe my respect, Sir! Next time, I guarantee that I will love Economics.

Rating: 4 stars

Math17—Prof. Alva Benedict Balbuena

The infamous Math17, indeed. Yes, this subject will make you cry. Thank God I passed!

Rating: 3 stars

PE Philippine Games—Prof. Ralph Ramos

All can say is... THIS IS THE BEST PE EVER!!! Every Isko must enlist this PE! It definitely reduces the stress of that college brings since we get to play the games we played when we were kids. Nostalgic. I learned how to play trumpo and did tricks with my yo-yo. I’m also thankful that I have nice and cooperative teammates. I had a good time competing with them.

Rating: 5 stars

********************

Worth featuring!

1. 1. Milktea – I’m a big fan of Moonleaf’s Wintermelon Milktea! Must try! It’s my newest addiction :>

2. Banoffee Pie – My study buddy. Starbucks or Seattle’s Best!

3. Nescafe Ice – Never gets old! Helps us get through those oh so sleepy nights!

4. Rodic’s Tapsilog – Best tapsilog evaaaaahh!

5. Beachhouse BBQ – This is where you get to taste the most delicious BBQ ever!

6. Chicken-Steak Meal – The ultimate Purita meal. One of the main reasons why I could possibly save some of my allowance.

7. Flavored Cheese – Laughing Cow! I could use a little dose of bacon, pizza and classic flavoured cheese please.

8. Taho – Everyday, after Math17. 10php only.

9. Chocolate Cake from Sweet Inspirations – It keeps my sanity every after a depressing exam.

10. Red Mango Fro-Yo – Thank God there’s already a branch of your store in Katip!

11. Cup noodles and cereals – I won’t survive the morning without the two of you.

************************

Wrapping it all up, I am enjoying college. Before, I find it impossible to see myself away from my family, friends and my boyfriend. I've managed to adjust and to gain confidence for me to be able to shine. I may not reached your expectations with regards to my GWA, but that doesn't and won't ever define who I am, and this statement doesn't only apply to myself. Let's all do our best and live life to the fullest ;) I MISSED BLOGGING! >:D< oh well, hello SEMBREAK!!!! I loveeeeeetttt :P

Thanks to Google Talk, my bestfriend and I could finally catch up with what we've missed! Miss you, Hazel! >:D<

Guys, If she gives you her heart and puts you first in her life then don’t neglect her and put her second in yours. She obviously love you very much and she doesn’t want to lose you, So when problems arise assure her that you want to be there with her so both of you can talk things out peacefully instead of letting a insignificant quarrel ruin the beautiful love you two have created. Arguments are healthy in relationships, they allow both of you to talk things out and find solutions to the problem which in return allows both of you to form a stronger bond of love with one another because you are both communicating with each other, So don’t avoid each other when issues surface because that just creates tension between the both of you which could lead to a potential break-up, which I’m sure you both don’t want right? Overall be there for her when she needs you, Be honest with her at all times, and above all respect her because she deserves it. Remember communication, an open mind and open heart, and a willingness to forgive and work together for a strong, more lasting relationship are the most vital elements of happy, committed relationships.

superpost,soon.

Confession

2011-05-20T06:52:00.000-07:00

My confession: I've been watching The Vampire Diaries since the start of May. So to those who do not know me..... I hate Vampires, I hate Twilight. But after Rico's persuasion hahaha, I bought the complete season 1 dvd (sa mga bumbay/muslim malapit sa arcade ako namimili) and now, TVD's a big exception yey! I'm currently watching its season 2! =)))

Last Tuesday, I was in Manila, went to UP, registered for the volcorps, submitted my form 137, and shopped heehee. It was a long day and i didn't take any pictures but I have a self-portrait wearing the top I bought in an online shop and my new shorts and shoes (yey for Toms!).

**********

5 days ._____.

2011-05-16T06:09:00.000-07:00

New haircut heehee.

We already claimed my graduation shots, the scanned pictures suck but the actual pictures are great :D

A while ago, I placed my nakakakilig souvenirs in a shoebox! Hahaha, i put notes and dates kung kelan binigay yung flowers, kung kelan at saan kami nagdine, kung ano yung laman nung wrappers etc. Hindi pa yan yung lahat. The rest of the souvenirs are with Rico, he also has a shoebox which I personally customized. HAHAHAHA! Binigay ko yung shoebox nung 4th year pa kami so yun lang yung story dun. I hope madagdagan pa ;) and and and I found my Etude House nailcutter na =))))))))))))))))))))

The end!

2011-05-14T04:27:00.000-07:00

It was Friday the 13th yesterday, some people who have friggatriskaidekaphobia fear this day. But for me, it's a Swift Day! Love love love 13!

I was a bit unlucky during that day and I won't tell you why haha. But thanks to my friends, my day tilted from gloomy to a lil bit sunny. Unplanned activities are more likely to happen than those which are planned. Therefore, I shall now tell you my story.

My Bath and Body Works Pocketbac and Pat's EOS lipbalms had arrived yesterday, so I texted Pat about the news and I asked her if we could claim it together and she said yes. I remembered Sheen! So I called her and told her what our plan was, after asking permission and preparing, we were all set and met at Pat's place.

After claiming and paying for our orders, we decided to play bowling but before that, we had to convince Sheen so that we could all get to play together. After playing and taking pictures, our next stop was at DFS park, we missed the place and the streetfoods! :3 Then went back to Pat's house to gossip haha, and to watch videos.

@ DFS

@ Pat's

*****

Today's another boring day. Not until I asked Jonnah and Sheen to come to my place. Another unexpected plan.

We ate, sang, gossipped and laughed. Today's a fun day. We tambay-ed at our gate and ate burgers! Hahahaha. This is what happens when you don't believe your mom when she says they aren't home. I love you my emo-mates! :D we have pictures....

The end.

It will rain when you're gone.

2011-05-12T04:48:00.000-07:00

Rico and I had a date today, lunch at Greenwich, ran errands, watched Thor and shared stories. We're okay now =) Aww, no pictures :/ but today's a happy day!

10 days of MAY

2011-05-09T21:31:00.000-07:00

This is my May timeline:

May 1:

So last April 30, my sister Roan was admitted to the hospital. I was tasked to accompany her during the first and second nights. I watched the TV premiere of 500 Days of Summer and cried haha

May 2:

I was also sick. hihi

May 3:

Rico visited the hospital. And we bought dvds hihihihi

May 4:

Hello UP! First and foremost, here is my beautiful schedule:

Today's the advance registration for UPSE (UP School of Economics) Freshies, Ciesca and Dana were my first friends! The advising and releasing of form5s were hassle-free and the UPSE auditorium (Idk the name) has a cool ambiance, so I'm really proud of my college, and and and, the cr at the SE bldg was clean ;)

After that we proceeded to the UP Health Services to get my medical certificate. I haven't waited for a long time which was satisfying because we still need to go to the OUR for the submission of requirements and tuition fee assessment. Unlucky, I still have to certify my bracket B documents before the assessment, so we went to Vinzon's Hall to have it done. And unlucky (extreme level), I belong to Bracket A. So yeah. And later on, we had to go home cause after my assessment, the money we had wasn't enough for my tuition and they're still allowing payments until Friday pa naman.

May 5:

I'm so excited today cause I've been hearing good feedbacks about the Freshie Orientation. We've just arrived in time and yes, I was already enrolled after the payment. I also had my I.D. picture scheduled already. Then, I attended the FOP with Anamixx (blockmate), Dana and Ciesca again! Yay!

And I was right, the FOP was so much fun, entertaining and everyone was so warm and accomodating. Some students raised questions like: "Kailan po yung oblation run?", "Saan po yung TBA?", "Saan pong college maraming gwapo?", "Nasaan po yung multo?", "Yung katabi ko po, nahahawakan yung kamay ko, pero gusto ko rin po siya, sexual harassment pa po ba yun?" and "Gusto ko sana malaman yung name ng katabi kong nakapula, ang cute niya kasi, kaso nahihiya ako :3". Hahahaha, I was laughing and cheering the whole time. Plus there were performances from the UP Korus, UP Streetdance Club and the UP Pep Squad taught us cheers...for me, that was the best part! :))) U-NIBERSIDAD NG PILIPINAS! Let's go UP!

SORRY, NO PICTURES! ;)

May 6, 7 and 8:

These were my lazy days. Haha. Just watched dvds and was a couch potato. Hello not-so-happy-days :/

Happy Mother's Day (belated) to every mom out there! =)

May 9:

Today's ka-ching ka-ching and ba-bling ba-bling day hahahaha :D

I got an instant 5000php from Governor Tet Garcia, cash incentive for being a batch Salutatorian from a highschool in Bataan, Valedictorians were given rewards too. Thank you so much Sir!

And, I have a new phone! Hahahaha! My Globe postpaid plan was approved! Yey! Hello BB =)

May 10: Another sad day, I've been listening to sad songs, shouting and being crazy around the house and ofcourse, singing at the top of my lungs. Not to mention my senseless, pathetic group messages and twitter updates. I'm such a sucker for couple fights :/ then, I watched this:

Strangers, again. It features the stages of a relationship and it made me cry. He's my unicorn. And I hope I'm his unicorn too.

I've been listening to Cambridge by Kina Grannis, the song was played at the last part of the clip (where they were eating and talking about breaking up or getting married).

I do hope that my next blog entries would be timely updated so I could post not-so-short-entries. These kind of entries take a lot of time and effort before publication. And today, May 11, my fingers are crossed, I hope everything would be okay.. End!

March to April

2011-05-08T00:15:00.000-07:00

Chapter 1: End of High school

Graduation does not only mean receiving your diplomas. It's transition. From who you were, to what you are now. It is a celebration of progress and a milestone each of us had experienced, is experiencing and will experience.

After a month of hiatus, I confess that I just came from the roller coaster ride of life. I could probably regard this as a month full of my worst and best moments. I passed the test of friendship, love, family and academics with flying colors.

Vacation was within our palms after we took our 3-day periodical exams (March 15, 16 and 17). Screams, joy and excitement were everywhere. Alas! Highschool life's battles are officially over! "BAKASYON NAAAA!!!". I admit, graduation practices were really really boring but events that came after that (i.e. gala, lunch with friends, tambay, bowling, dates) were the best.

But behind those galas were issues. I never thought that I'd cry for my friends more than I'd cry for a person. Those were my worst moments, events I wish not to happen again. And it was harder to bear when love's also at stake. There were fights, quarrels and a lot of misunderstandings simply because both were connected in my condition. But we should always
believe that rainbow comes after the rain. Everything's perfectly fine right now and since April 7, 2011. A simple conversation was the key to everything and so I had the best (and there are more to come) moments of my life. To Rico and my Bebes, you know how much I love each and everyone of you!

***

Hello graduation! First and foremost, my graduation dress was the same with what Taylor Swift wore during the awarding of her 20million record sales! Hahahahahaha

Everyone's full of enthusiasm as the program started. That was the day we'd all been waiting for but the sad part is, we really have to separate and we must take the journey to college all by ourselves.

I graduated as Class Salutatorian, which was fulfilling 'cause I have a ton of ideas that I would like to say if I were given a chance to speak on graduation day. And when I knew that I'll be having an address, I instantly started to write my speech and my surprise for my friends went perfectly well.

Salutatory Address:

Eleven years ago, my father would always ask, “Nak, doon kita ieenroll sa Montessori ha? Maganda doon.” And hesitantly I would answer, “Ayoko po, natatakot po ako, magagaling po ang mga estudyante doon eh. Hindi ko po kaya.” Yet, objection was useless; I was enrolled at Bataan Montessori School...

A wonderful evening to everyone!

...Tonight, I have proven myself that I can do it, I could achieve something if I just dared to dream and sending me to BMSI was never a wrong choice. Napatunayan ko sa sarili ko na wala akong dapat ikatakot kasi hindi lang sila yung magaling, kaya ko rin maging katulad nila. Now, another milestone has arrived, our high school graduation. Yes! We have survived! And after this survival comes another challenge, college. It’s now time to step out of our comfort zones and say goodbye to our alma mater for we are now going to face the future and it is now within our grasp. With that, I would like to congratulate each and every one of us! Good job! And of course, I would like to thank the people behind what I have achieved tonight.

First and foremost, to our dear Creator, I thank You for everything. I almost lost my faith in You but You have given me enough realizations to keep my faith and with that, I’ll never doubt you again.

To my mother, Mrs. Donna Davila, I thank you for the patience, trust and for believing in me. I can’t think of any person na mas masungit sa’yo :D I apologize for being suplada whenever I’m home; I appreciate everything that you do for us, the sacrifices, hard work and strength that you always show. Always keep that strength, for me and for our family. We can overcome these storms and find the light during the darkest hours if we stay together-all six of us. I love you!

Tell me, what is a dad? A dad is someone who wants to catch you before you fall. He picks you up, brushes you off and lets you try again. A dad is someone who wants to keep you from making mistakes but instead, let’s you find your own way, even though his heart breaks in silence when you get hurt. A dad is someone who holds you when you cry, scolds you when you break the rules, shines with pride when you succeed and has faith in you even when you fail. That’s my father, Mr. Jose Ronnie Davila. Papa, working abroad is never an easy task but because of your love, you are willing to sacrifice your time just to provide us a comfortable life. You are the main reason why I was really desperate to deliver this speech. I want to let you know that everything that I have achieved and will be achieving is for you. Our family loves you and we always miss you when you’re not around. Thank you for everything!

To the best aunt in the world, Tita Julia Birkenes, A simple thank you isn’t enough. Watching a Taylor Swift concert has been one of my biggest dreams and you made it possible. In times of great need, you are always there to help us. We love you and miss you Tita Juls!

To Roan who is the most responsible sibling among the four of us, I believe that you’ll be standing in this same stage next year, delivering your own speech. To Tin-tin, well, you are the brightest and knowing that you consistently get to be in the Director’s List of Pisay, without a doubt, you have a good future. To Shan, itayo mo ang bandera natin, study hard! And I’m sorry if I always tease and play pranks on you. Lambing ko lang yun! KAMOOOOOOOOO!!!!! :D

Bataan Montessori School, Incorporated, my second home, you’ll forever be in my heart and I’ll continue making this institution proud!

To my second parents, my dearest teachers! I salute each and every one of you! You deserve our deepest gratitude and respect for teaching us not only lessons in different subject areas but most importantly, lessons in life as well....

T. Vilma, you have witnessed my metamorphosis and I can’t thank you enough for having faith in me and for honing me to what I have become today.

T. Norma, you’re one of the teachers whom I’ll never forget. Thank you for the trust and guidance.

T. Mel, you’re a superwoman! I look up to you and admire how you could balance everything. We appreciate everything you have done for us, we really do. We’re going to miss you and always remember that IV-Neptune loves you!

T. Mina, thank you for the advice and for being a friend when we need one. Ang saya po makipagkulitan sainyo, mamimiss ka po talaga namin!

T. Mary Ann, I’ll never forget the how you defended me when I was sent to office 2years ago. Your accent is one of the things I’ll be missing in college.

T. Salve, eventhough I was a transferee during my freshman year, you never made me feel like I was one. You welcomed me and I felt a sense of belongingness, it’s all because of you.

T. Nancy, you’re the only person inside this hall who had watched me deliver my impromptu, I thank you for believing in me more than I believe in myself.

T. Shirley, I’ll never forget the day when you wrote my name in the logbook. Lagi po kasi akong excited magpacheck ng drills nun, sobrang nakakamiss!

T. Raffy, I’ll miss our MTAP days and the laughs. You’ll not be forgotten especially my 2 bestfriends, derivatives and integrals.

T. Reynan, You’re probably the coolest teacher I’ve ever known, hands down to you. I’ll definitely miss you Sir!

T. Ritchie, I’ll always be the student who writes the slowest during your period. Learning Physics was happier and easier, thanks to you.

T. Jovi and T. Marlon, Thank you for the bond, the stories, the laughs, the music and for the happy moments we shared!

Hazel Ann Bernabe, indeed, distance was never a hindrance to our friendship. Time zone differences are nothing compared to the strength of our bond. Thank you for being there every time. I miss you and I can’t wait to see you again.

IV- Neptune, 32 stories, 32 hearts, 32 dreams, 32 awesome people found in one classroom. It’s such an honour to get to know each of you. And I’m going to miss everything we all shared. I thank you for the friendship, the little things, the laughs, cries, and the unforgettable memories! =)

(ADLIB PART, I CAN'T REMEBER IT, forgive me ;D)

My fellow graduates, I wish all of us a happy trip to another journey we must all take separately, college. At some point, we all get to meet again and by that time, I’m positive that we’re all going to be successful. By the way, don’t forget maconnism.blogspot.com. Mabuhay tayong lahat and once again, good evening!

Here are SOME (i can't upload the slideshow:|) pictures before, on and after graduation: other pictures were from Rico's camera, thanks ;)

Chapter 2: Seventeen.

Two days after graduation (April 11), I turned 17. I woke up to the voice of my parents asking me, "Nak, ano gusto mong ihanda?
Imbitahan mo yung mga kaklase mo." O____________O I was shocked, I really thought they're not going to prepare anything for me.
So I instantly group messaged my classmates, "Puta kayo rito, dito na kayo maglunch, 11:30am".

Okay, so today's also my preenlistment day so I have the privilege to use the laptop as soon as I got up from bed, but I still have no idea what GEs to choose so I just picked my desired block. Next story will be in Tagalog cause it'll sound more exciting :D

So, nagtext si Ariana at biglang sinabing, "alam mo na ba yung angyari kay Pat?". Ako naman kinakabahan nun :| at bigla kong natanggap yung GM ni Pat, napilayan daw siya, she needs us, etc. so binalak namin na pumunta muna sakanila, doon na magkita-kita bago pumunta samin. Bigla na akong nagmadali nun. Nagtext din si Rico na hindi siya makakapunta kasi nga sabay kami ng birthday ng Mom niya, nakakalungkot pero okay lang din syempre! So after ko maligo, naglaptop muna ako, nawili ako sa listahan ng GEs hahahahaha. Magkikita raw muna kami nina Kay2 at Sheen eh. So ayun, after ko mawili, nagbihis na ako (nakatwalya lang ako habang naglalaptop, don't worreh, nasa kwarto ako nun) hahahaha. Pagkabihis, nasurprise ako kasi may flowers ako from Roan and Dervin. Hihi, teynks :))

Then, nagpunta na ako kina Sheen nun, buti naman hindi sila nainip ni Kay2, napatagal kasi ako. So umalis nadin kami, nagtatawanan, inalala yung payong moments namin. Hahahahaha. Ayun, magkakasama kami sa loob ng trike, then pagpasok sa music room nila Pat..............................................................................................

"HAPPY BIRTHDAY MACON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" *party poppers*

Ako naman, "bwiset, mga bwiset kayo!!!hahaha".

GRABE HA, ANDUN SI RICO (AKALA KO BA DI KA PUPUNTA), SI PAT (AKALA KO BA MAY PILAY KA?!), SI IVANA AT TIEN (BAT DI NIYO KO NIREREPLYAN KANINANG UMAGA). asdfghjkl It was the best surprise in my entire life. Kumpleto yung bebes, masaya kami, andun si Rico, pati yung ibang classmates. What more can I ask for? Yung feeling na loved ka, nafeel ko yun nung birthday ko :"> THANK YOU SO MUCH! Tuwing naaalala ko yun, napapangiti ako eh. Mas okay din kung andun si Hazel at Taylor Swift hahahahahaha, demanding pa ko :)) Pero swear, salamat sa effort Rico, alam ko namang punong abala ka, kahit nagtampo pa ako nung grad. And sa bebes, classmates at family na super nagkontsabahan naman pala kayo. :'>

Then sa bahay, we just ate, tried to learn how to play PUSOY, took pictures and I treated them sa bowling, thanks to the best aunt in the world! :D here's the slideshow:

THANK YOU AGAIN EVERYONE! I love you :)

Chapter 3: Random things:

1. I found my Naruto keychain collection

2. I ironed my clothes

3. I had a magic tattoo c/o my brother

4. I played bubbles with some children

5. Went swimming with LJF family

6. It Girl - yes, we love it!! =)))

7. Semi-farewell party. These pictures were taken before our other classmates had arrived, so konti palang kami!

Yey, the end!!! Next entry is already under construction (May activities)! :)

I want them all, duhh?!

These last two pictures are her (Taylor Swift's) rare albums (not available in her store, VERY difficult to find. I've searched for them, but they're way too expensive), and I want them too. Sharing

sahdgbxusjdhsdjhcnujsdhmncjusdgcbysdhghchudsjhfcnusdjfhcdufjdh

I save. I buy. I sell.

2011-03-07T03:08:00.000-08:00

After a week of saving my moolah.. Finally! I bought this bag that I've been eyeing since last month! =))))

Attention everyone! I'm selling ballers which are now open for reservation, you could PM me on facebook for other details or just text me: 09164315863. These are Keep Calm Taylor Swift edition ballers, 1inch , 100php each (excluding the shipping fee) payable via Gcash and will be available on the 3rd week of March, so reserve now because it's a first-come-first-serve basis :) lovelovelove

THANKS IN ADVANCED :)

March, y so fast?!

2011-03-06T02:58:00.000-08:00

Every graduating student attends their school's batch recollection and I just did. Last March 2, we cried, laughed, ate ice cream, reminisced and said our thank you's and apologies which at the end of the day, made me a guilt-free person. Haha

Ate dinner at Wanam :)

Pictures are on the form of a slideshow again. =)

Moving on to randomness.. I am much more thrilled to shop online but unfortunately, I am financially disabled (or broke!) which is so unfair. My bookmarks bar's now full of well, bookmarked sites, sites from which I've found items that make me say, "I want that, and I'm going to buy that soon!!!! HAHA" but in reality, I still have to earn lots of moolah to buy everything in there. I'm so materialistic. But still, money can't buy happiness, right???????

I present to you.. my promenade shots. Hihihi

I haven't continued reading since last week!!! >_<>

Last Tuesday, I finished watching the 3-part special of Taylor Swift's Journey to Fearless which makes me think that the Fearless Tour's much better than the Speak Now World Tour (both were awesome, but Fearless' awesome-r). I really wish I'd witnessed Taylor's rainy performance of Should've Said No, her yeah-I-could-throw-a-sofa performance of Forever and Always, her costume changes and fans hugging! D:

SAVE! I have something to buyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!!! =)))))) yeyyyy :))

And I'm blogging in English, again!!!!!!!!!! Weeheeeheeeheeeeheeee :)))))

Promenade 2011

2011-02-12T04:54:00.000-08:00

Ayokong balikan yung naramdaman ko kagabi. #$t^&*uhg@}dr^&*)>?:"}!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! K lang, malapit na concert ni Taylor so Hahahahahahahahahah. Eto na ang kwento.

So kahapon, before prom, nagplano ako ULIT ng design ng gagawin kong banner para sa concert, tinawagan ang 2g0 courier service ng 4 na beses dahil at 12nn kahapon, deadline na nung Taylor Swift "Mine": Show your Taylor Swift collection wherein yung makakapagsubmit ng photos will have a chance to win a meet-and-greet pass. Wala, walang dumating package.

Lahat nalang ng contests for meet-and-greet pinalagpas ko. Una, hindi ako nakasali sa most number of likes sa pictures ng Odyssey (bumili pa naman ako ng bundle pack para doon), then hindi ko nasubmit yung raffle ticket sa deadline at yun nga, yung sa collection. I hope, meron pang M&G pass sa grand fans' day sa Feb.18 and hopefully, makapunta ako on-time. (It's a Friday so, magaabsent ako, but pupunta kasi kaming UP nun). Sobrang desperate akong makita si Taylor, alam niyo namang super fan ako. Haha. At paghahandaan ko yung concert, baka swertihin sa T-Party. Hoho

Naiba na topic. Haha. Anyway, nalate ako nung prom, nakaupo na sila, di na ako umabot sa picture takings nila, etc. BV agad. Hahahahahaahahahah

Okay naman nung una, nung formal program, nung social dances, nung first dance. Sa una lang pala enjoy. Then Rico and I had a deal na this prom, iba naman, isasayaw namin yung other classmates and schoolmates namin. Okay kami pareho dun. Kasi ayaw ko na may masabi yung iba na kaming dalawa lang nagsasayaw. Di namin nakakasayaw iba. Yung mga ganun ba. Tsaka para maenjoy din lalo yung prom with classmates. Enjoy pa raw. Tss. Yoko na nga ituloy.

Rico, thank you sa flowers and for doing your best. Pati kay Sheen at Pat!

1 week nalang. Magiging one of my happiest days yung February 19, 2011.

Pictures? Nasa Fb, nakakatamad e. Ako yung nakayellow.

The month of love

2011-02-10T03:24:00.000-08:00

It's February, start of the Speak Now world tour 2011 :)

1. Prom practices - So, prom na mamaya. 3weeks yata kaming nagpractice, then kahapon, nagkaroon ng general rehearsal sa Crown Royale.

2. Prom preparations - Ok na yung gown ko, shoes, accessories, etc. My nails were painted. Pero yung excitement, hindi ganun kataas. Mas excited pa ako sa concert ni Taylor eeeeeeeee.

3. Taylor Swift Merchandise - Last December, umorder ako ng Taylor Swift merchandise from USA through bulk order with other Swifties, dumating na siya sa Pinas at before Feb 16, matatanggap na namin. Doon talaga ako excited e. =))))))))))

4. Top 2 - Oo. Top 2 ako. Desperado akong magspeech sa graduation. A ako sa Promptness and Punctuality. Ganun ako kabait. Haha

5. Taylor Swift syndrome - Desperado rin akong makita si Taylor at manalo ng signed album. T-Party nalang pgasa ko. At yung sa signed album? Sayang lang pala effort ko. Ala pala akong pagasa dun kahit madami likes, kukunin ata yung winner sa winning side (e nasa losing side ako). Unfair naman yata yun Odyssey?!!!??!?

6. Birthday ni Mama (February 9) - Masaya magvideoke. Masarap ang pagkain. Wala nga lang si Papa at Tin.

Cheers to January!

2011-02-06T02:12:00.000-08:00

JANUARY--It's 3 months before graduation. Ang bilis naman pala.

I. I made it.

Yeeeeeeeeey! Passing the Big 4's a dream come true to me. :D :D :D And my NCAE's result is 99+. So party \:D/ masasabi kong worth it ang review. Thank you Lord ;)

(NCAE result isn't included)

II. Our own version of fieldtrip.

Probably, the best fieldtrip ever! HAHA. Pero una sa lahat, we're not rebels, we just don't want to join. So since everyone's not joining, nagorganize yung girls ng bonding day a.k.a. pajama party all-day sa bahay nila Pat (thank you!). Meron din yung boys. From 6:30-9pm kami :D movie marathon, gossips, truth or dare, and food <3>

III. Summer!

Result of our T-shirt printing practicum sa T.L.E. We chose the summer theme :)

IV. Online shopping's addictive.
I bought these:

Yay for eBay.ph :D Maraming cheap finds, lalo sa authentic bags and fragrances. Kailangan lang din magingat and make sure na hindi manloloko yung pagbibilhan niyo :)

Since nakapagupdate na ako, tomorrow nalang yung about sa recent happenings tungkol sakin. Thanks! Goodnight =)

Remember December

2010-12-27T03:46:00.000-08:00
DECEMBER = a lot of school activities, parties, happenings, moments which leads to busyness.

I. BMSI 14th Founding Anniversary

Day 1 - Motorcade (hindi kami sumama ni Ariana)
- Preparation for the cheerdance (grabe, nakakahassle kasi tatalian ko pa yung mga buhok ng mga bata, tapos yung ribbons, props and everything)
-Opening program (each team has their yells, then may lighting of the torch, raising of banners and speeches from the admin people)
- Cheerdance competition (this is the most-anticipated part. Unang nagperform yung Flaming Red Dragons, then the Venomous Green Vipers, next was our team, Ferocious Yellow Pythons and last but not the least, Raging Blue Sharks)
-Awarding Ceremony (1st - YELLOW, yey us! 2nd- BLUE, 3rd- RED, 4th- GREEN)

Day 2 - GAMES (before leaving the house, sabi ko na sasalihan ko lahat ng games. It turned out, wala akong nasalihan :\ HAHA! There were booths : Snack, Jail and message booths. Natatally rin namin yug teamstanding kasi may parang tally board na nilagay sa wall. Then, mejo late nadin ako nakapasok nun. Kung wala kaming gnagawa, nanunuod kami ng games ni Rico or nanggugulo kami sa jail booth, bali kami may pakana nung mga sino dapat mahuhuli, etc. HAHA)

Day 3 - Booths (nakijoin ako magtinda kasi feeling SSCC ako. Hahaha! Frustration! Masaya kasi natutuwa ako sa mga trabahong incharge ako sa pera. wew. HAHA)
- Games, games, games (ayun, wala padin akong nasalihan as usual. Haha. Bumili nga pala kami ni Pat ng pabango kay nurse! Victoria's Secret SECRET CRUSH, ganto kasi, yung pabango na yan e pabango ko rin nung 2nd year. hmmm, reminisce!)

II. Salon
- So after nung nakakapagod na Intrams, nagpunta kaming salon para magpamanicure and pedicure, then naisip kong magpatrim kasi nagkakasplit ends na yung buhok ko :\ HAHA, ayoko pa naman ng split ends! Nagpafrench tip ako sa kamay then red nailpolish sa paa :)

III. Christmas Party
Sinundo ako ni Rico nung umaga. Haha, siya nagddrive at ako'y nasa passenger seat. Haha. Kasama namin Mama niya =) then pagdating, inwan namin mga gamit at nagpunta sa gym kasi may mass. After nun, partyyyy. There were games, food sharing, gift giving, picture taking, and ofcourse bonding. Sobrang fun! And I think yun yung best Christmas party namin. Sad to say, it's our LAST highschool Christmas party. :( :)

Pictures:

IV. Regional Schools' Press Conference 2010
-From December 19 to 22 at the City of San Fernando, Pampanga
-Almost everyday nasa SM Pampanga kami, namili ng gifts, ate yogurt, stroll at window shopped. Kaya marunong na kami magcommute from SM pabalik sa tinutuluyan namin :)
-Sobrang boring, walang pictures, hindi kami sumali ng parade, nakakatamad. HAHA

-Finally, nakabili na ako ng bundle pack ng Speak Now and Taylor's self-entitled album, pati yung Holiday album niya :)
-Dahil almost Christmas na nun, nakauwi kami ng 2pm, 5hours travel. More than 2hours kaming na-stuck sa EDSA :/
-I got new stuffs :)))))))))))) including my MAC "Young Thing" lipglass :"> yey.

VI. Christmas 2010
BEST CHRISTMAS, kasi kumpleto kami :D Tapos may family reunion pa :))

Yesterday, we seniors attended a seminar in Letran on Leadership Training. Super fun! Hindi siguro nagenjoy yung iba pero nagenjoy ako :) Ilang minutes pagdating ng school, pinababa narin kami para magassemble. 3 school services ang gagamitin para maaccomodate kaming lahat to and from Letran na yun :) Ok narin yung snacks and lunch kasi provided na. So ayun nga, byahe na, ok naman. Magkakasama kami nina Sheen at Pat pati nung ibang classmates namin. Nandun din si Rico. Haha :)) Ang haba nung daan papuntang Letran.

Pagdating namin, si Ate Gian (former BMSi student) yung nagguide samin and then we registered and got our nametags. Nung una.. Concepcion pa yung nakalagay sakin, but I went out and insisted na dapat MACON lang. Ang haba kaya!!! :)) Haha, so yun, successful naman at napapalitan ko yung nametag ko.

Yung first part ng seminar, pinakilala muna yung Guidance Councilor, yung submembers niya which were her students and the Masters of the Ceremony. Tapos nagkaroon ng roll call, pupunta sa gitna yung school na tatawagin then magyeyell. Haha! Dahil may intrams, madali kaming nakaisip ng yell :D "Show your stuff, show your stuff. Say it loud, say it loud. We're Montessorians say it proud!" Hahahaha. At yung school pa namin yung may most number of participants kaya parang nasa class lang kami :D

Dinivide kami into 5 teams according to the numbers found in our name tags, group 2 ako :D yeyyy, kagroup ko si Rico! :3 ang natatandaan ko lang, kagroup ko rin sina Viel, Kay2, Chen, Pat, yun lang. Ahahahaha. Hindi ko na natandaan yung isa. :)) Unang activity yung bibigyan mo ng meaning yung L-E-A-D-E-R-S-H-I-P. Every letter. Yung samin... Loyalty, Encouragement, Ability, Discipline, Enthusiasm, Respect, Self-Confidence, Humility, Intelligence and Punctuality. Kami unang natapos kaya huli kaming nagexplain.

After lunch. meron din kaming activity na sing and dance. Ok naman siya. Masaya! Dip-dip-di-di-deep-deep! :)) Then, yung Marco Polo na enjoy :D Pinaghiwahiwalay kaming groupmates then may isang Mother or Father per group na magccreate nung animal sound na napili namin. Habang nakapiring hahanapin namin sila at kailngan ay makumpleto kaming members. May limang flowers na nakakalat sa sahig na bonus kung makukuha namin :) MOO!

More on socialization yung seminar kaya masaya talaga, nagpicture-taking din kami at nagkaroon din ng tour bago kami umuwi. Nakakapagod pero sobrang enjoy talaga :D

Hindi muna ako makakapagblog this week kasi may exams kami. I need to review :) I'll blog as soon as the last exams are over, sana :) Christmas shopping later :D

TICKET

2010-11-24T01:18:00.000-08:00

Yay meeee :))

:D!!!!! Hahahahahaha. Last Monday, absent ako. Kasi, kinuha ko na yung ticket ko for Taylor Swift Live! in Manila :)))))))))))))))))))))))

Maaga kaming umalis kasi ihahatid muna si Tin sa Clark. After nun, nagpahatid kami ni Mama sa terminal ng San Fernando at naghanap ng bus. After travelling.. Nasa Gateway na kami at inasikaso na yung business namin dun. Nakuha ko na agad yung ticket and thank God walang problema :D after eating lunch, umuwi nadin kami at gumawa ako ng assignments. Yeahhh :))

Kinabukasan nun, may meeting kami before snacks. Wow, 4th year lang kumakanta sa HS. Kung taga yellow team ka at nababasa mo to ngayon.. kumanta ka na din oy! :O SNACKS = KRISPY KREME <3

Kapag nacomplete na namin yung Christmas decors sa room, ibblog ko. :3

Oorder na ako mamaya sa Merch!!! Yey. At buti irerelease na locally yung 1st album ni Taylor which is her self-titled album, 'Taylor Swift'. I think available na yun on Nov. 30 or Dec. 13. So hindi na ako oorder nun :)))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))

The End Is Near

2010-11-20T03:41:00.000-08:00

Reserve your tickets now! @ http://www.ticketnet.com.ph/2006/index.php

Last Thursday and Friday, nagkaroon na ng meeting yung 4 teams sa respective meeting places nila. I belong to the yellow team :) Kaso, ayoko nung team name namin. I think an animal like a Phoenix or Griffin (from HP yeah!) could be better. Yellow Pythons? Ughhh, ayoko ng pythons. Ang hirap isipan ng appropriate adjective e, may naisip ako.. Venomous (i know, from MAC's Venomous Villain Collection). Haha! It was taken by the green team. Ahas din yung kanila, viper. Haha. Basta, ayoko nung name :(

Remember yung Diamond Package ko sa Speak Now? It won't be mine :(( Nakakalungkot. Hindi kasi naibigay sa Tita ko, siya yung umorder. So ayun, nagkamali ata sa shipping address. Nung kinontact niya yung store, hindi na siya nakasama dun sa priorities, however, irerefund yung binayad niya. So, goodbye my supposed to be Diamond package :(

Rico and I decided to change our relationship status in Facebook. In a relationship!!!... since June 25, 2009. Yeaaah. :3

Best benefit of being an official member! Yey, i have reserved a ticket :3

To make sure, I also made a reservation at Ticketnet :3

Last Friday, nalaman kong open na yung reservation for the Official Members of the TSPH Streetteam. Yey! Hindi naman lahat ng kwento ko ee nakakalungkot dahil, nagpareserve na ako ng 1 VIP Ticket. oh yeaaaaa. But, 1 nga lang kasi mahal. Sana payagan si Jonnah para may makasama akooo. Then, awhile ago, open nadin yung reservation sa Ticketnet (ticketnet.com.ph), so, nagpareserve ulit ako. In case na madoble yung reservations ko, icancel ko nalang yung isa. I'm just waiting for my confirmation nalang.

Ang saya dahil sagot ni Tita Juls yung ticket (yeeyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!). Christmas gift niya na raw yun. So happy! Thank you Tita Juls <3

Facebook page of the TSPH Merch :)

Probably on November 23, magoorder na ako sa Taylor Swift PH Merch! @: http://www.facebook.com/tsphmerchstore . Sana naman hindi ito magfail at matanggap ko yung orders ko kahit gano katagal :) Eto lang yung chance ko na makapurchase nung ibang albums, kaya go na ako :D Buti nalang pumayag sina Mama at Papa1 Yey, thank youuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu <3 Ang supportive nilang lahat sakin. So happy :3 I love you all :D Kahit si Rico! Yeahhhh. Nakakatuwa naman :)

HARRY POTTER AND THE DEATHLY HALLOWS PART 1 (Note: spoiler alert people, if you don't wanna spoil yourselves, stop reading or leave this part as unread!) Sobrang nagandahan ako sa movie kahit na nabitin ako nang bongga at kahit may alterations.Nakakatuwa yung dance nina Harry and Hermione. Nakakakilig kasi sobrang bait niyang kaibigan (Harry). Sensitive siya dun sa naffeel ni Hermione para kay Ron kaya gumawa siya ng paraan para icheer up si Hermione :"> natawa ako nung kay Kreacher, yung inaaway si Mundungus. OMG, sorry kung may incorrect spellings! Haha, yung tinidor! Then, nung eksena ng 7potters, si Harry which is si Fleur e nakayakap (PDA-ish hug) kay Bill Weasley. Bakit ganun hitsura ni Tonks? NOT BLOOMING :(( Ang ganda nung wedding dress ni Fleur :"> Nakakatawa rin yung may bra si Harry, pero si Fleur padin yun. HAHA! Pati yung sa Ministry of Magic, nung nanakawin nila yung locket kay Umbridge. Nagpolyjuice potion yung trio. Nakakatawa si Ron at Harry :))) May kissing scene pa si Ron at si Mrs. Cattermole (tamuhh ba to?), basta siya yun. HAHA! Nakakalungkot yung pagkamatay ni Dobby :(( sobraaa. Dobby has no master1 Dobby is a free elf! :> Yung ending, grabe, mabibitin ka. Then I still have to wait for 8 long months para s part two!

Sinama ko si Rico manuod. Kasama rin ng kapatid ko yung isa pa nilang classmate. Maaga kami umalis, 7am yata? :)) Kasi pupunta muna kaming Pisay, sa Clark. Bigayan ng card ng kapatid ko ee. Tsaka meron pang toast of excellence. Nasama kasi siya sa DL last quarter. So sobrang nabilad kami sa araw. Haha. At around 9:30, bumiyahe na kami papuntang SM Pampanga. Nakatulog ako nun at nakasandal si Rico sakin. HAHA, baliktad :)) Paulit-ulit na nagpplay yung disc 2 ng Speak Now :D Pagdating namin, we ate lunch at K-FC. Ahahaha (Ariana oh, K-FC!!!! Ya knowww). Then we headed to the cinema. Bought tickets and went gala :))) Haha. Humiwalay kami ni Rico at pinagod lang namin ang mga sarili namin. Nung nakita namin sila mama, pumunta kami ng Tutti Frutti! Yey, froyoooo :D namili muna kami at tumambay to kill time. At nung malapit na yung time (1:15pm), we went upstairs and joined the line. After the cinema, we went home. Long day!

:3

After 3months...

2010-11-13T22:43:00.000-08:00

Finally, nakapagblog na after $%%#!!#$%^&!@ days.

Reasons for not blogging:
1. Busy.
2. Mas inuuna ko ang pagaaral. (weh?)
3. Schoolpaper stuff, tuwing Sunday nasa school ako :(
4. Nasira ang laptop for almost a month but thank God naayos ko, yeah!
5. BUSY.

Highlights of my 3-month absence online:

1. Jonnah's super surprise-slash-birthdayparteyyyyyy!!

Ayun, binalak namin isurprise si Jonnah, wala kaming pasok nun kasi bigayan ng cards, kasama ako sa maglilibang kay bebe habang inaayos nila Ariana yung bahay (pumunta silang bahay ni Jonnah pagkaaalis niya). Gumawa pa kami ng excuses etc para hindi siya agad magaya pauwi, tapos nung ready na ang lahat, pumunta na kami sakanila. Effective naman yung surprise :D Weeeee, after nung tawanan, pumunta na kaming La Vista! Swimminggggg :)))) Ang saya, natry ko narin magslide dun sa red :D hoho. Sinamahan ako ni Rico. Then, after nung kainan at party ever, nagvideoke saglit. Hindi na ako nakakanta ee. Tapos uwian nadin nun. Basta masaya :)

2. 1st quarter, TOP 2!
Ayun, nung araw din na yon, nalaman kong Top 2 ako. Yey. Tie kami ni Viel, ganito yun. Magkakaroon din daw ng tie kapag 0.01-0.03 lang ang pagitan. E sakto, 0.03 lamang sakin ni Viel, ayown. Tie padin :)) This week, malalaman na yung rank ko for the 2nd grading *fingers crossed*

3. Before DSPC
Ang natatandaan ko, may training, pero tinamad ata ako magtrain kaya as usual, nakakaisang article lang ako (ang hirap kaya gumawa ng sarili mong game, team, scoring chu chu!). Hanggang ngayon, hindi parin ako makapaniwala kung bakit nakakatagal ako maging isang sportswriter (oo na, hindi nga halata). At natatandaan ko ang araw na yun dahil super picture taking kami sa macbook ni Pat to the point na napagalitan kami habang nagmmeeting :DD Nako, hindi ko masave pictures. Gogondo pa naman!

4. DSPC

Nung 1st day, hindi ako pumunta kasi sa 2nd day pa yung contest ko kaya nagdate nalang kami ni Rico. HAHAHAHA <3>

5. Ms. EIC
Yes yes yes! Isa sa greatest achievements ko. Finally, ako yung napili! :D

6. Snacks with love.

Dahil nagSubic sila Rico, nanghingi akong pasalubong. Yey. Binilhan niya ako ng korean snack na hindi ko alam kung ano pangalan, basta may FUN CAP. Alam mo naman ako, kahit nakikinig ako ng kpop songs, hindi ako marunong magkorean ever. Haha. Ang cute kasi pink at ang cute ulit kasi para siyang tumbler! Nakadisplay (2 sila) yun sa desk ko :)

7. I've already watched Letters to Juliet! :D

"Dear Claire,
What and If are two words as non-threatening as words can be. But put them together side-by-side and they have the power to haunt you for the rest of your life: What if? What if? What if?

I don't know how your story ended but if what you felt then was true love, then it's never too late. If it was true then, why wouldn't it be true now? You need only the courage to follow your heart.

I don't know what a love like Juliet's feels like - love to leave loved ones for, love to cross oceans for, but I'd like to believe if I ever were to feel it, that I will have the courage to seize it. And, Claire, if you didn't, I hope one day that you will.

All my love,
Juliet "

8. Guidance
Pinatawag ako ni Ms. Kareen (guidance councilor) para iinterview. Ayun, naiyak naman ako. HAHAHAHA. Eh kasi, ano, uhmm. Wala lang :) Gumaan naman pakiramdam ko. Yipee

9. Haircut

Napakapuge ng mukha ko jan >.<

10. ACET
Well, this is it! Acet :D Wee, umagang umaga palang hindi na maganda yung mga nangyayari nun, ganito kasi, makikisabay ako kina Rico (yeeee) edi kailangan, kung magkikita kami, mauna ako diba? Kasi syempre nakakahiya :)) Niring ako ni Rico, maaga pa sa usapang oras kami aalis. Aww! Nagmamadali na ako nun. Sobra, hindi ko narin siya matext kasi wala akong load :( then, pumunta na kaming bayan ni mama, dun daw magkikita sa may Vetaf's. Wow, nasiraan pa yung tricycle na sinasakyan namin. E madaling araw nun, walang trike T.T Naglakad pa kami ni mama, text na nang text si Rico kasi nandun na sila sa Vetaf's. Hindi ko naman mareplyan kasi pareho kaming walang load ni mama. Awwww. Sobrang nahiya ako nun :\ Nung ok na ayun, byahe. Hanggang sa nakatulog kami at dumating na sa Katipunan. Nagalmusal kami sa mcdo. Mejo nahihiya padin ako, e kasama mader niya at ate niya :)) K lang :)) HAHA. Then, hinatid na kami sa Ateneo.....

After exams.... OMG. Bakit ganun yung Math, hindi kinaya ng powers ko :( Pero ok lang. Sana, makapasa ako :) after makaalis ng Ateneo, nagpunta kaming Megamall. Kumain kami sa Yellowcab at ako'y nabusog :D Then, humiwalay na kami ni Rico. As usual, pumunta akong etude house :)) Haha! Tapos naglibot at pumuntang Red Mango (matagal na naming planong magdate dun, yes, natuloy naaa)

Last, bumili ako ng pasalubong para kina Mama. Krispy Kreme. Haha! Ayun. Pumunta na kaming Taft para ihatid Ate niya at dumiretso na pauwi. ANG SAYA NUNG BYAHE. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA =))

Akala ko, hindi na ko mamalasin... nagpababa ako sa simbahan (cathedral ng Balanga) para puntahan sila mama. Then, may bagong palawit yung cp ko. Yey. Tint! Kasi nakaworth 1k ako sa Etude House nun :))))))))))) Kaso hindi ko rin nagamit :((...... after the mass, nawala cp ko. Yung red. Yung bigay ni Papa :(((((((((((((((((((((((((((( Grrrrrr. Bad day.

11. julietsaveme.tumblr

Tuwa ko =) Konti palang nakakaalam nung site nung nagpafanlist ako kaya fan no. 205 mee :)))))))))) Kung gusto niyo makita profile ko, nandun lang sa side bar :D lovelovelove

13. NCAE
Nagkita-kita kami sa Jollibee Capitol nung 6am para sabay-sabay magalmusal at bumili ng lunch, sa Tdel kami magttake ng NCAE namin. :) Ayun, Hindi naman ako nalate, buteeee. Hahaahaha. Ako si Examinee No. 3 :D Ang saya dun sa room namin kasi ang bait nung proctor. Laughtrip ee. Lagi napapansin si Kay2, gutom kasi. Nakakatawa rin yung ceiling fan nila na biglang bumibilis yung ikot. Hahahaha. Tapos merong nakalagay na FIRE EXIT dun sa natakpang butas ng aircon (so, dun kami lulusot pag nagkaemergency?!) :)))) HAHAHA. Unfair ang araw na yun dahil walang pasok ang highschool level. grr. Nakakainis lang e, may mga babaeng kinikilig kay Rico :| nakoooooooooooo. Nalaman ko lang yun nung sinabi nila T. Mina. (uhmm, sorry haaa, wala pa kayo sa kalingkingan ko ee). HAHA. Ayun, after the test, tumambay kami ni Rico sa bahay at nagcomputer langgg :))

14. I go to school on Sundays.
2 Sundays lang naman pala. Hahaha, pero kahit naaaa! Nagsacrifice kami ni Sheen para ayusin yung school paper (eto na yung duty calls) HAHAHA. Grabeee, nakakastress. Sa mga ganitong oras, hindi ko na maiisip magblog dahil mas importanteng gumawa ng articles para sa schoolpaper. Ayun, proofreading, typing, thinking (kung ano nga ba ang nararapat ilagay) at no texting. Haha. Aw. Pero ok lang lahat nang yan, syempre, alam ko naman yung pinasok ko kaya ako nagscreening. Ready naman ako dun sa responsibility.. NAKS :)) Ako pa :D Worth it naman yung magiging result nung paguwi ko rin ng 6pm para ayusin yung articles at pagabsent sa ibang class para magawa ang pinakamagandang issue ng Avant Garde :)

15. Speak Now 3-week countdown

16. Lolli-lolli oh LOLLIPOP!

I have a new phoneeeee! Sige na, ako na mayabang!!! :D Yey, buti pumayag si Papa na ibili ako ng bago, so ayan. LG Lollipop :)) sobrang kawaii lalo yung effects sa lighting. Eto yung phone na gustong gusto kong bilhin mula nung nakita namin ni Jonnah, during our Katipunan days, dun sa Greenbelt :)))))))))))))))))))

17. CAT
Pinagdala kami ng tshirt nung araw na to kasi may activity kami. Yung activity, parang may obstacle chuchu kung saan kami ay tatakbo, tatalon at gagapang na may bitbit na rifle. Grabeee, yung gapang :(( nagkapasa ako, buti nalang maliit lang yung sugat ko. Hindi tulad sa iba. Ang hirap naman din pag babagalan gumapang. Nakakahiya, lahat nakatingin sayooo ee. Haha. Buti naman sabay2 kami nina Ariana at Kay2 nun. Super nakakapagod :/ feeling ko nun Friday na ee. E hindi, Thursday palang :(( Aw. Sana hindi na maulit!!

18. Impromptu

First time sa buong buhay ko na sumali ako ng speech contest. Ang balak ko lang naman talaga ay extra points (extra curricular) kaya sumali ako sa screening. Fortunately, ako yung napiling representative ng school para sa Voice of The Youth Impromptu Contest na sponsored ng Rotary Club. Ok nadin sakin, tsaka alam ko naman na hindi ako ganun kagaling sa pagsasalita, nadadaan lang talaga sa confidence ee :D HAHA. Ayun, 3rd place! Yey! Yung nakakatuwa e may certificate of participation na kami and cash price $_$ hihi. Overall, dagdag nanaman yun sa experience and exposure. Kaya sobrang nagenjoy ako. Friendly din yung mga nakalaban ko :)

19. Speak Now songs leaked
The night bago yung DLSU College Entrance Test (exam is on October 24) ko ay nabalitaan ko na naleak yung Speak Now deluxe album songs. So, hinanap ko sa Tumblr... Meron nga. Nitry ko din maghanap ng sources para makapagdownload, pero napigilan ko ang sarili ko. Syempre. Respect nadin, alam naman natin that Taylor spent 2years in preparing, writing and recording the album tapos isspoil lang natin yun. Aww :) pero i have still sinned, napakinggan ko yung Long Live which is sobrang ganda :) then, nagprepare na ako sa exam ko nun kinabukasan. Makakapaghintay naman ako hanggang 25 ee :)

20. DLSU-CET
Kasama namin ni Mama si Roan. Nagcommute kaming 3 papuntang Taft. Then habang nasa San Fernando kami, ang tagal nagstop nung bus, akala ko nung nagstop e nasa Manila pa kami. Hindi pa palaaaa. So, sumisikat na yung araw, nasa NLEX pa kami. Kinakabahan na ako kasi baka hindi ako makadating on-time. Nadagdag pa yung hindi kami umabot dun sa LRT kasi napagsaraduhan na. 15minutes kaming naghintay :\ kaya pagdating ko ng DLSU, pumasok na ko sa loob nung Andrew bldg (tama baaa?) at pumunta dun sa designated room ko. Hindi na ako nakapagbreakfast :(( Nung pumasok ako, napa-WOW ako ee. Bakit ang ganda sa La Salle? HAHAHAHAHA :)) Ang cool masyado dun. Weeeee. Tapos ang lamiig. Kainis, kahit nakacardigan na ko, malamig padin. Hahaha. Hirap tuloy iangat lapis! Naninigas mga daliri kowwww. After ilang minutes din pagpasok ko, nagstart na kami.

Then nung break, nagkita kami ni Jasmine, magkafloor pala kami, pati ni Lois Anne. Thank God nakakain na ako nun. Sobrang nakakagutom. At buti nadin at may drinking fountain. Para may panulak! :)) Saglit lang din yung break ee, pinapasok na ulit kami ng room. After nung exam. Gosh, bakit ang hirap? Pinakamahirap :(( Feeling ko hindi ako papasa ng DLSU. awwww!

Pagbaba namin ng MRT, naghanap kami ng taxi kasi balak namin pumuntang Megamall. Ayun nga, nakahanap kami. Aww. 400 yung singil mula Taft Station hanggang Megamall. Too much! Mahallll D: pero hinayaan nalang namin. Haha, tss. Pagdating namin, naglunch muna kami then pumuntang Forever21. Shopppeeengg $___$

At uwian na @_@

21. SPEAK NOW

Release date yeyyyy! Nung umaga nun, nagdownload na ako ng mga kanta. Yeeyyy. Tapos monthsary namin ni Rico nun :) 16 months :) Then, namili ako ng Total Girl (I'm too old for this haha) kasi si Taylor ang cover and I've learned that she has what she referred to as "really, really bad eyesight" that's why she gets to wear "those horrible huge glasses" when she's at home.

*Semestral Break, no laptop :\*

23. Books
Dahil showing of Harry Potter 7 is fast approaching, Ireread Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows. Rumored ending daw is on Chapter 25, I think sa Shell Cottage yun ee, pero tinapos ko nalang basahin at inisip ko na basahin nalang ulit yun para sa Part 2 sa July.

After nung Harry Potter 7, binasa ko yung Have A Little Faith ni Mitch Albom. Grabe, ang ganda. Tungkol siya sa faith, kung hanggang saan at kung gaano kalakas yung paniniwala mo. Ang mas maganda pa e true story kasi and sobrang inspiring. =)

24. Deluxe

Finally, nakabili na ako nung Speak Now Deluxe! Kaso about dun sa Diamond Package ko, aww. Medyo nagkaproblema raw sabi ni Tita Juls. But as of now, maaayos naman daw. SANA. Aside from that, nakabili nadin ako ng Charlie St. Cloud book :) Hindi ko pa napapanuod yung movie. Pero nung natapos ko yung book, grabe, ang ganda. Must read!

I just need to buy those other two books na nasa check list ko :D

25. TAYLOR SWIFT LIVE IN MANILA

Good thing member ako ng TSPH (fanlisted thingy), kasi ipaprioritize ng management yung fanclub na yun, and they recognize is as the official Taylor Swift fansite/fanclub in the Philippines. See yaaaa :)

26. Avant Garde
Nagresume na yung classes. Yey. Then, nagkaproblema bigla. Dumating si Teacher Nancy (school paper adviser) at sinabing nagkamali yung apelyido ng Directress namin. It should be Vilma SALARDA, but naging Vilma SALAZAR which is a major problem. So for 2hours, inayos namin yung apelyido niya. Gamit ang correction pen at ballpen at ang mga kasama ko na sina Sheen, Tien, Pat, Ivana, Kay2, Meryl at Zari. 600 copies yun. Wow, hindi ako makapaniwala na matatapos namin yun nang ganun kabilis. Kaya lang, nawala yung energy ko ee, nakakagutom lalo nung Chemistry period namin which is before lunch.

The picture above is our official school paper. I am proud to present to you THE AVANT GARDE :)

Sinabi ko kasi na ang dami kong gustong gawin. Kung pwede nga kunin lahat w/o spending too much money and time, gagawin ko yun. Gusto ko maging architect, manager, financial consultant, engineer, journalist, world-famous blogger, make-up artist, interior designer at web designer. Ang dami :) awww.

31. CAT Part 2
Kaming Neptune Girls ang unang nagpresent ng demonstration namin sa CAT. First aid sa electric shock. Ok naman lahat, yung props, costume, script, etc. Kaso hindi marinig yung dialogue kasi walang mic. Buti kinonggratulate kami ni Sir Reynan. Nagbunga naman yung sacrifice namin ni Ivana :) Natuto kami gumawa ng improvised stretcher, magbuhat ng victim, magcheck ng pulse at yung proper way ng first-aid. Buti nalang talaga at pumunta kaming Red Cross. Ang bait nila at pinahirap kami ng materials for free :) Thank you so much!!

Taylor Swift - Mine from Stephen Murray on Vimeo.

Biglang hindi ako nakapagblog ng isang linggo. Ang dami-daming ginawa. Sobrang busy ako nun. Tapos nawalan pa ng net. Aww. Eto na! Yung mga super kwento ko \:D/

1. Toothbrush, with love \m/

- Eto na yung kinukwento kong gift ko kay Rico! Yung couple brush! Hindi ako nakapagpicture na hawak namin yan ee. Bali, sakanya yung pink, akin yung blue <3

2. The Lovely Bones

- Ibili niyo naman ako ng book nito. Napakaganda ng movie kahit na tinatakpan ko na yung mata ko sa ibang eksena. Worth it naman yung pagbabayad namin ng penalty kanina. Kasi, last week pa kami ngrent, tapos, hindi pa namin nasasauli. Overnight lang yan ee! Pumunta sa bahay namin yung taga-Video City. Natatawa nalang ako ee :)) At at at, napanuod ko na yung Hannah Montana The Movie. Gusto ko lang naman mapanuod yun kasi nandun si Taylor Swift! Yung sa Crazier? :)) Oyan. Saglit lang yung eksena niya D:

3. Project in CAT

- Eto yung project namin na ginawa lang namin the day before submission. Pero ang saya saya! Nagcommunity service kami! Kami pipili kung saan namin gusto magserve. Dahil gusto namin kakaiba yung amin, nagpunta kami sa Eternal Shrine Memorial Park. Naglinis kami dun. Kita naman sa pictures, then, binilhan namin ng food yung ibang namamalimos sa may simbahan at binilhan ng merienda yung mga nagtitinda ng sampaguita. Ang sarap sa pakiramdam tumulong :)

4. Buwan ng Wika

- Saglit lang yung program. Nagpresent lang yung kada grade/year level. Tapos. HAHA. Free time na nung hapon :))))) Pagod kaming lahat ee :D

5. THE DANCE :)))))))))))))))))))))

- SALAMAT GIF! Bongga ang aming presentation. Nakikita niyo naman na ang gagaling namin. Andun ako, sa gitna, yung katapat ng logo ng school :) HAHA. Kung nakapagpractice pa sana lalo, mas bongga pa jan ang ippresent namin \m/

6. Interview
- Kasama ako sa mga initerview para sa Editor-In-Chief Hunt. Nakakakaba. Ako yung unang ininterview, next si Chen then si Ivana. Wish us luck. Ayun, may isa akong natatandaang tinanong: Anong quality raw meron ako na wala yung other two. Basta sinagot ko nalang.. CONFIDENCE. :)) Ngayong week yata malalaman results. At sa wakas, nakapagsubmit nadin ako ng articles! Yey! Nagsacrifice ako ng isang gabi para matapos yun. Weee. 3 outputs yung naipasa ko :)

7. SSCC Oathtaking

- Dahil SSCC Secretary si Ivana at nakaduty si Chen, naging Photojournalist ako for a day :) Awww. Isa yan sa dream categories ko, pero naging Sportswriter ako :| =)))))))))) Haha. Ayun, enjoy naman magpicture picture. At blooming si Sheen, dahil ginamit niya yung mga nasa vanity kit ko. HAHAHAHA. :)

8. SM With Rico
- Dahil kailangan ni Tin mamili ng libro na mahirap hanapin, pumunta kaming SM Pampanga (Hindi kami madalas magpunta rito, kung magmmall kami, SM Clark at Marquee palagi). Kasama namin si Rico1 Yey! Naexcite ako pumunta kasi merong branch dun ng Etude House. At syempre, pag pupunta ako sa Etude House, hindi pwedeng wala akong bilhin. Bumili ako ng matagal ko nang hinahanap na lip and cheek tint na katulad nung sa Bobbie Brown ni Ivana :) Yey!

At nung napagod na kami magwindow shopping ni Rico, nagkaayaan kami sa Chowking dahil pinapagusapan namin yung siomai na masarap na medyo hindi sulit kasi mahal tapos 3 lang. HAHAHAHA. Pero ayos naman, busog. Tapos tumawag si Tin, uuwi na raw. Nasa exit na raw sila. Kami naman, nagtatakbo. Yun pala, nauna pa kami sakanila. Nako! Haha. Enjoy yung araw na yun =)

ATENEO ESSAY NI MACON.

2010-08-23T02:16:00.000-07:00

Special thanks to Ms. Hazel Ann Dulay Bernabe >:)<

“Are there any significant experiences you have had, or accomplishments you have realized, that have helped to define you as a person?”

I was never afraid of failing. As a matter of fact, I have always thought of my failures as stepping stones that have led me to who I am today.

Everyone wants to be at the top, and I assure you, I am one of those students who compete for the prize. Back when I was in elementary, people would exclaim that what I see is what I always get, what I want is what I’ll have and in almost everything, I was the best. Hence, those thoughts occupied the minds of my parents, being the best was what they wanted me to exhibit all the time. Somehow, there came a time that I wasn’t already meeting their expectations, I became inconsistent during my high school years, I learned that nothing is permanent. I came to realize that giving your best will definitely not mean that you will be the best. Still, I am fortunate enough that my parents tolerated my losses. However, I could really feel their disappointment; it was as if I brought them down. I have lost their trust and faith to myself. There was nothing that I would not do to gain it back again so I have to handle all the pressure, though I never thought of competing with my friends for I should keep in mind that I am my own rival.

Most people associate failure with negativity. As a realist, I believe that doesn't always have to be the case. With failure, I have learned that there’s more to life than winning. There are more to achieve than gold medals. Yes, it may be able to define your academic status, but would it be able to define your heart? I don't think so. Everyone has his/her own strengths and weaknesses; we’re champions in our own ways. Failure taught me patience, motivation, courage, acceptance, humility and second chances. “Try and try until you succeed” may be a cliché, but we cannot deny the fact that it’s one of the principles of life. I am saying this because deep down, I know that all of us have experienced downfalls. Some could stand up and get over it, but most could call it their end.

I have now accepted my capacity--the things that I can do and those that I can’t do. I am perfectly imperfect and I am more than satisfied with the person I see in the mirror. With this, I know I have reached the peak of success. I’m proud to say that through failure, I am now a new version of my old self, one that has enough motivation to say, “Next time, I’ll try harder.”.
USTET
Kahapon, nagexam na kami sa UST. Before 4am, bumiyahe na kami ni Mama. Mga 7am na kami nakadating ng UST. Pinuntahan muna namin yung building kung saan ako mageexam then kumain kami sa Jollibee. Pagbalik ko, mejo mahaba na pila, pero saglit lang akong pumila kasi binuksan na yung building. Habang hinahanap ko yung room, may nakasabay akong girl. Nalimutan ko name niya ee! Sabi niya sakin, may drawing test daw yung sa architecture (course ko). Ako naman, nagffreak out na. Room 216 ako ee, siya sa 217. Ayun, may nakatabi ako, si Abbie, nagdadaldalan kami. Architecture din course niya. Hindi kami prepared sa drawing test!! Waaaaa. Then, sabi ko, yung isa kong course is Management Accounting. Yung sakanya, Accountancy. Nakita niya sa permit ko na parehong Accountancy yung isa pa naming course. At nakakainis kasi nagkamali yung sakin. Gaah. Nung 8am, inayos na yung seating arrangement namin, hindi na kami magkatabi ni Abbie. At nung finifill-upan namin yung answer sheet, sinabi ng proctor na pwede namin palitan course namin!!! HURRAYYYYYY! So, pinalitan ko na nga. 1st choice is Management Accounting. 2nd choice is Business Ad major in Financial Management! At ako'y makakatakas sa drawing test.
Unang exam is yung Mental Ability Test. Unfortunately, hindi ko natapos! 80 items for 30mins! Konti nalang sana, pero hindi ko na sinagutan. Next exam is English. Omg, mahina pa naman ako sa vocab kaya mejo nahirapan ako. Pero nakaya naman. 80items yun for 45mins. Tapos Math na! Yess! Mejo makakabawi ako, para sakin, madali yung Math. Aww. 60items for 45minutes. Last yung Science, mas mahirap yung Science sa UPCAT. Mejo kaya naman, kapareho rin ng sa English, 80items for 45minutes. Buti nga pwede magsnacks habang nageexam, pero hindi ko nasulit kasi time pressure. Pero sana pumasa ako.
After nun, pinuntahan ko sila Kay2, Ely, Ken at Ricoooo sa KFC. Nakipagkwentuhan lang saglit then umalis na kami ni Mama, pano kasi ang dami daming tao! Sa Wendy's kami naglunch at sumakay na kami ng LRT papuntang EDSA, tapos lumipat ng MRT papuntang Shang. Nagikot lang kami saglit dun, tapos nagaya na ako sa Megamall. Owyes! Nakapasok na ako sa Forever 21! So bigggg!!!! :)) Kaso hindi ako namili, gusto ng skirt! Haha! After nun, nagikot kami at ako'y nagtungo sa ETUDE HOUSE! Heaven as usual!!! :))))))))) Bumili ako ng nailcutter at lipgloss na may kasamang cheek tint! Yey! Hindi na ako manghihingi kay Ivana! Ang cute ee, rosy cheeks na ko :"> Syempre, nagaya ako sa Red Mango! Fro-yo :)) Uwian na! Nagabang na kami ng bus papuntang Balanga :) Ipagdasal niyo na pumasa sana ako!
Research Project
Yung topic ng research project ko is BLOGGING. Yung kay Rico... FARMVILLE! Haha. Dahil matagal nawalan ng net (almost a week), over due na yung project. Tapos yung computer nila Rico, sira raw. Ayun, ako muna nagprint nung project. Kanina inayos namin! Ang cute nga ee! At naipasa na namin! Yesssss. Buti nalang mataas score ko sa Eco! Kahit hindi ako ganong nakapagaral! Thank You Lord! Kaso yung research ko 7 mistakes T_T Nakakatuwa kasi ang taas dun ni Rico! 5mistakes! Odiba! I'm so proud of you Rico :))))))

2010-06-30T04:07:00.000-07:00

Hazel, miss na kita. Pwede bang umuwi ka na? ;)

Wala kaming pasok ngayon sapagkat inauguration ni Pres. Noynoy. Pinanuod ko yun! Oh yeshhh. Nakwento ko na ba sainyo si Baby? Yung aso ni Kat2? Ayun, bago yung panunumpa ni P.Noy, pinaliguan ko siya. Walang pictures! Sayang. Baka kasi hindi maniwala sila Jonnah, dahil ako'y hindi animal-lover. HAHAHA :))))

Yung iTouch ko, yun na yung cp ko. HAHA. Gulooo. Wala kasing cp si Rico, bute may iTouch din siya at nakakasagap kami ng wifi kaya.... YM NALANG =D HAHAHA. Mabilis at matipid. :)) Speaking of iTouch... may mga ibang kanta na ko sa Taylor Swift app ko... Yey! Salamat Tita Juls! =)))))))))))))))))))

As usual, busy parin sa school. Ang dami kong dala, sabi ni Ariana, yung bag ko e "naglalayas". HAHA. Ibig niyang sabihin, pag dala ko yung bag ko, parang naglayas ako dahil MALAKI ito. Oh ya! \m/ Buti naman at si Rico yung nagbibitbit. :"> Ang bait. Yeeee. Hindi ka under Rico! Mabait ka lang talaga :">

Masaya sa classroom, katabi ko sina Celina at Pen2! Yey. May seatplan na kami sa wakas! Magkakalapit lang din yung mga upuan namin nila bebe. Basta sila. HAHA. Hindi parin tumitigil ang chikahan. May mga POTATO CHEAPS pa ftw \m/ HAHA. Ya knoooo. Natatawa lang talaga ako sa mga yun.

At dahil hindi pa ako nabibilhan ng Percy Jackson and The Olympians: Sea of Monsters. Nagbasa ako ng Romeo and Juliet. Grabeeeeeee. Super love at first sight. Matindi ang tama nila sa isa't isa, yun yon. Meron kasi dun, "Juliet's Story", summary na siya nung book, pero mahaba padin ee. HAHA! Ayun, mas madali intindihin kaysa sa Play version ni Shakespeare. Doon, nakakadugo ang English.. Old English kasi. Tsk.

Kanina nagpunta si Rico, wala lang. Gusto niya raw ako makita. Sinabi mo yun kagabi!!!! :D Nakanaman! Hahahahahaahahahaha :)) Nanuod kami ng Percy Jackson and The Lightning Thief at ok naman. Sa laptop lang kami nanood. Dito rin siya nagtanghalian! Siya pinaghimay ko ng ulam ko! Kasi, nakakatamad maghimay :))

At naalala kong may assignment pa kami. Ggawin ko nalang kahit magrereview lang kami bukas. CAT!!!!!!! Hahaha. Goodluck sakin \m/

FIRST DAY. Tama nga naman yung mga GM nina Chen at Ariana, nakakatamad pumasok, pero nakakamiss yung mga kaklase. Parang nagkita lang kami para magchikahan :)) IV- Neptune, hanggang ngayon hindi parin ako sanay. Senior year :(

Macon, kamusta first day mo?

Sasagutin ko na ang sarili kong tanong.. K lang naman! HAHAHAHAHA :)))) Inantay ako dumating ni Rico :"> Tuwa naman ako. Lagi nalang! Haha. Tapos pagpasok ko ng room, wahahahahaha, nabuking na ang aking modus operandi na paniwalaing nagpagupit ako, dahil kung makikita niyo yung display picture ko sa Facebook, ang ikli ng buhok ko. Ganito kasi yun, balakin namin ni Jonnah beybhe na manloko, pano naman kasi, nakaya kong pagmukhang maikli yung buhok, nakatago sa jacket!!! Tapos yung harapan nung buhok ko, eh layered pa naman, ayun maikli, kaya napeke namin. Oh yes!!! Then, nagpicture kami at niplano naming iupload ito bago magpasukan para masabing nagpagupit ako. May mga feedback. Waha! Akala nga nila nagpagupit ako. So yun. SORRY :)))))))))))))))))))))))))))

Nagdiscuss lang si T. Mel, siya adviser namin, nagsulat kami ng personal info sa index card, diniscuss yung form sa UPCAT. At bonggang bonggang may name tag kami!!! :"> I love etttt. WALA LANG! Yung room namin, sa 3rd building, 2nd floor, last room, katabi ng boy's CR. Yung dating room ng Neptune. Alam niyo na yun! =)) Hindi gano malamig, umasa pa naman akong mas magiging malamig na yung room namin. Tapos si T. Mel, natuwa kay Joshua, bininyagan niya ito at tinawag na JAN. Haha! Lols :P

Nung election of officers, wow, message from the outgoing president daw (AKO YUN). Ang nasabi ko nalang... "WALA". Hahahaha. At ako pala ang incharge sa botohan, tagasulat ng nominees, taga bilang ng boto, taga sulat ng nanalo, taga salita. Hindi ko rin alam kung bakit. Hahahahaha. Basta ang natatandaan ko, si Kaizze president at sina Kay2 at Ely ang muse at escort =)

Half day lang kami. At ang saya saya saya ko :">

Kinakamusta ko lang yung first day ko, napakwento pa tuloy ako =D

MAGDALA KAYO TRAY, YUNG LONG BROWN ENVELOPE, SHORT YELLOW FOLDER, PENCIL AND ERASER, 2X2 I.D. PICTURES NA 6 PCS., 1X1 PICTURE, RAG, ADMISSION CARDS.

My Summer Vacation-- lols

(PICTURES? HANAPIN NIYO SA FB KO, I'm sorry, TINATAMAD AKO ^^)

LAST DAY OF SUMMER VACATION :(((((((( Tapos na ang maliligayang araw ko.

Marami satin tinatanong kung ano ang kanilang ginawa nung bakasyon nila, kala niyo kayo lang pwede magkwento, HAHA, ako rin syempreeee :)) Mauuso nanaman yung "What I Did Last Summer Vacation"-compositions. Yee, naeexcite ako magkwento ee. Sige na nga, hindi nakaEnglish yung akin, mahirap kaya! Haha!!!! Eto na ang mga napala ko noong bakasyon:

Noong nandun pa kami sa Katipunan, ayun, review review. Meron kaming kaklase na itatago nalang natin sa pangalang BIG BOY, kaya ganun yung codename e kasi, BIG siya, natural diba.
Malupit yun pag test na namin, laging highest! Napakagaling! Hahaha. Yun naman pala, pagkamali siya e natatama niya padin. Namimili lang siya ng mamalian niya. GOOD JOB! HAHAHA. Wag niyo siyang tutularan =) Ayoko na magkwento ng ibang bagay tungkol dun kasi baka iniimpluwensyahan ko kayo. =))))))))))))) Ang bait ko ee. Anyways, tuwing afterclass, sabay padin kaming 3 nina Joshua at Kay2. Suki na kami ng KFC, Pizza Hut, Jollibee at Mcdo. Medyo tipid! Pero ok lang. Namiss namin yung lutong bahay, wooooo :)) Buti pumunta nun sina Mader! Hinatidan ako nung mga nirequest kong pagkain!!! Owyes. FTW. Pagdating niya, kasama niya pala si Roan at Shan nun, nagaya ako sa Eastwood at kumain ulit kami sa Fazoli's. Sayang, makakabili sana ako ng sandals, kaso walang size para sakin, ang cute pa naman >.<

Isang beses lang din ako nakauwi nun pagkatapos nung last blog entry ko. :( Ganto pa nga ee, kasabay ko sina Jonnah at Kay2, maaga kaming umalis ni Kay2 sa review center para makahabol kami sa byahe! Buti at nakahabol, oha oha! Then ayun, 1 hr na byahe sa ferry. Tapos sabi ni Rico, antayin niya nalang daw ako sa bahay namin kasi nasa jeep palang daw siya e sina Roan, papunta na ng pantalan. Pagkasakay ko ba naman e nandun nadin pala si Rico sa sasakyan. Yeee. Nasurprise naman ako :"> Nasa jeep palang pala haaaa. HAHAHAHA :)))) Kinabukasan naman, nagsimba kaming dalawa. Woo. Hahaha. Nung Monday na ako bumalik ng Katipunan, nakisabay ako kina Kay2. Ang bilis magdrive ng Father niya! Odibaaaa. Nakadating kami dun ontime :)

Nung Physics class namin, napakalupet, ginawa akong example, pati yung isa naming kaklase. Wala lang, dahil dun, nakilala na ako ni Sir Gino at nagustuhan ko ang Physics :)) Nagkaroon din kami ng class picture na nakakatawa dahil basta, ang sikip dun sa row namin, di na nakita yung Sir namin kaya di nalang siya sumama, tapos pinagusapan pa talaga yung magiging posing and everything. Nakakabilib kasi kinabukasan meron ng pictures. Binili ko lahat! Tamang tama nga at nagplantsa ako ng buhok ko nun. Wooo, pinaghandaan talaga ee :P Binalik na ni Sir Migs yung essays namin na tungkol sa pop culture na wala talaga akong alam. Papabasa ko yung ginawa ko, proud padin naman ako no :PPP

"THE EFFECTS OF POP CULTURE TO YOUTH

Pop culture... What do these words mean?

I myself have no idea. And that's what makes it worse. Pop culture is taking its effects on the youth without knowing what it really is. I would have guessed that this refers to the type of music we listen to nowadays. In comparison to the music played on the previous generation, there are differences in the lyrics and the contents, or should I say, the message it tries to convey. I think there's more to it than music; pop culture could be our way of thinking, our views, or how we base our opinions. Our generaton is destroyed; this is the result of the rush, the thought that everything must be done in an instant, the idea that we should think twice in choosing our decision....... =)"

Mukhang bitin na ewan na walang konek na parang aning lang ang pagkakasulat ko, pero maganda padin. ABA. :))) HAHAHAHA.

Hindi ko alam kung nakwento ko na to ee, pero naging highest ako sa Biology! Share ko lang. Nakakatuwa kaya, feeling ko kasi hindi ko pa nakkwento ee. Ok lang yannn! Ayos naman yung results nung exams. Minsan failed, pero minsan lang yun!!!!! WAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. Madalas nasa 70% naman nakukuha ko, 90% lang yung pinakamataas kong nakukuha :( Pwede nadin! Aim higher!!! <3

Kada snacks namin, dun kami umiinom ni Kay2 sa Fountain of Youth or LIBRENG TUBIG. Hindi naman masama magtipid diba? Hahahaha. Tapos lagi kong snacks yung Pocky or yung Pasalubong na cheesecake, nagkasawaan na kami :) Nakapatay pa ako ng isang ipis dun! \m/ Tapos meron dung aso na panay hinihimas ni Kay2. Wala lang! Isang beses, inaya kami ni Kay2 maglunch nung mga nakasundo naming kaklase, kahit na medyo na-OP kami, ang saya saya kasi nakakatawa yung mga kwento nila, ginaya pa ni Basty yung kaklase naming itatago natin sa pangalang AVATAR. Ginaya pa ni Basty yung pagkakakanta ni Barney. Yung I love you, you love me chu chu.. Haha! Tapos pinagusapan namin si BB, at kung may BB, may BG! or BIG GIRL. at hindi na ako magkkwento tungkol sa kanya O:)

May kwento pa ko!!!! Weeee, ang saya saya kasi nakapasok na ko ng UP Diliman at Ateneo! Dream come true!!! Ang babaw e no? Bat ba. Yun nga, nakasakay nadin ako dun sa ikot jeep! At bumili ako ng lanyard. Ang laki pala dun, yung field palang ee, feeling ko ganun lang yung laki ng school namin. Ang sarap din dun maglakad, mahangin tsaka malilim kasi madaming puno. Then dun naman sa Ateneo, e sobrang gusto namin makabili ng lanyard, yun, nung unang pasok namin ni Chen, sarado na yung tindahan pero good thing pinapasok kami diba, medyo mahal nga lang pamasahe sa trike, tapos kinabukasan, pumunta ulit kami, yey! Success! Nakabili kami ng lanyard! Nakakawow yung surroundings dun. Nako, gusto ko nung tshirt eeeeeeeee =))))))

Nung naiiwan kami ni Jonnah tuwing naguuwian sila, ayun, bonding to the max! Nagpunta kaming dalawa ng Eastwood (tambayan na namin) at nagpicture taking lang, kumain ulit kami dun sa Fazoli's at nagRed Mango kami. Enjoy naman pero mas enjoy kung marami. Nakita pa namin yung dream dog namin... Siberian Husky!!! :"> Dun ako lagi natutulog sa room nila kasi natatakot ako. Haha! At tuwing gigising ako ay laging late na kasi pag babangon ka, akala mo madilim pa kaya matutulog ka nalang ulit. Sarap lagi ng tulog ko dun ee :D May isang beses din, nagpunta naman kami ng Makati, balak sana namin magRockwell e kaso, basta, hindi natuloy! Haha! Nagikot nalang kami sa Glorietta at nakita namin si Enchong Dee! WAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHA. Yun na yun, at umalis na kami at nagtungong Greenbelt. Pagpasok ng Greenbelt, hay wala kaming kayang bilhin, alam niyo naman dun. Kaya nagwindow shopping kami. Pagpasok ng Accessorize... Awww, may nakita akong napakacute na bag TTTTTTTTTT_TTTTTTTTTTT, bilhan niyo ko!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Hahahaha. May heart chuva na makinang na tote bag na ang cute. Wala na, naalala ko nanaman yun. Joke lang! Ang OA e no? Pero natuwa talaga ako sa bag, pag nagsale, humanda yun sakin >:)))) Kinabukasan naman nun, naisip namin magpuntang Megamall, well, gala kami. Pupuntahan kasi namin yung Etude House!!!!! OMG, sobrang naexcite kami ni Jonnah ee. Xmpre, namili kami, hindi matiis ee. Bumili ako ng Lip Plumper, Eyeliner at Liquid eyeliner! I love eeettttt! Si Jonnah bumili ng Liquid eyeliner, toner at facial wash :) Tapos meron kaming free folder ni Lee Min Ho at free membership, ang cute cute cute nung card :"> Pink!!!! <3> Awww. Nakakamiss magmall! Haha.

Hindi lang jan natatapos yung malling, bago kami umuwi ng Bataan, naggala kami ni JP at Chen, sa Gateway lang, sila lang yung namili, nagtitipid kasi ako :D Namili sila pareho ng damit. Haha, tapos nagkataon ang lakas ng ulan nun. Grrrr. May kidlat at kulog pa. Sarado yung LRT pero maaga pa naman nun kaya sasakay kami ng taxi. At dahil sarado yung LRT, panigurado, mahaba ang pila sa taxi. Hindi kami pumila, kung saan saan kami nagabang, tawag namin dun.. illegal way, hindi naman siya illegal, hindi lang kami pumila. Wala namang sinabing hindi pwede magsakay. At dahil hindi kami sumuko sa paghahanap ng taxi, buti may nagsakay sa amin. Yey! Yung huling malling ko naman e kasama ko si Joshua, dapat kasama rin si Kay2 ee, MOA sana punta namin, balak pa namin magskate. E kaso sinundo agad si Kay2, ayun, sa Eastwood nalang kami nagpunta. Nagpatulong ako maghanap ng panregalo na secret nalang kung para saan :"> Kaso fail, laging walang size :| Ayun, nagRed Mango ulit dahil hindi naman ako naadik sa yoghurt. HAHA.

Nung last day ng classes namin, summer wear daw. Buti nalang pasafe yung suot ko, tshirt-shorts-tsinelas-high ponytail. OK. HAHAHA. Hindi ko na matandaan yung scores ko dun sa mock exam kasi kinuha agad yung papel! Ano ba yan. Kukunin ko pa sana yung rating! Aww. Binigyan kami nung bookmark na yung mga nagsign sa likod e hindi namin naging teacher. Aww. Nalungkot ang lahat nang malaman naming hindi nagsign dun si Sir Migs! Aw! Binigay nadin yung schedule nung refresher course, sa July 4 daw. Pinayagan naman ako pumunta. Haha. At kinabukasan, pupunta naman kami ng Cavite.

Ayan, natapos na yung kwentong Katipunan ko, Cavite naman! Hahahaha. Hindi pa ako agad makakauwi, pagkasundo sakin sa MyPlace, diretso kami ng Cavite, namatay kasi si Tatay Delfin (tito ni father), aattend kami ng libing. Nung una, hindi pa kami sure kung tama yung dinadaanan namin, buti napunta rin ng SLEX. Naglunch muna kami! Haha. Kasama namin si Roshed, pamangkin namin, baby palang siya. Odiba, lumalambot na ang puso kong bato :))))
After maglunch, tuloy na ang byahe, saglit lang at nandun na kami sa Cavite. Pumunta muna kami sa bahay nina Tita Mameng para ibaba yung gamit, kaso walang tao yung bahay kaya hinanap namin yung bahay nina Ate Carmina, pinsan ko. Mabuti naman at natatandaan pa namin. Yun, namili pala sila ng gamot at inantay muna namin sila. Weeee. Di naman matagal yung pagaantay namin, di naman masyado nakakainip. Xmpre kumustahan nung nagkita kita. Pagkababa nung mga gamit, pumunta muna kami ng SM Dasmarinas :)) Nagpunta kami dun sa, ano ba yung pangalan, parang Wonderpark ee. May hockey!!!!! Namili ako ng maraming coins at naglaro kaming 3 magkakapatid. WAHAHAHA. Ang saya maghockey. Pero kahit isang beses, hindi man lang ako nanalo :(((( Bat ganun?!!!??? Unfair! Pero enjoy naman. Dun nadin ako nakabili ng pangschool shoes. Yabadengs naman! May nakita kaming sandals ni Roan dun sa Primadonna. WAAA. Ang ganda ee! Pareho yung size namin dun, kaya gustong gusto namin mabili. Kaso hindi namin nabili ee. Aww. Pumasok kami sa Kirin-Kirin. Sale yung shorts kaya namili kami. 150 lang kaya! Ang ganda pa!! May nakita akong magandang dress dun. As usual, dahil nagtitipid nga ako, hindi ko binili. Pero nakapagpapicture ako na suot ko yun. Hindi ko na ipapakita kasi nahihiya ako. Hahahaha. :">

Nung kinagabihan, Pumunta na kami dun sa lamay. Nakita namin dun yung ibang kamaganak namin na pinupuntahan sa Cavite dati. Hindi kami ganung nagpansinan, hindi ko rin alam kung bakit, ako hindi naman nahihiya, baka sila yung nahihiya sakin. Basta. Hindi naman kami sobrang nagtagal dun, pagod padin kasi kami sa byahe. Pagkauwi, nagayos lang kami saglit tsaka natulog. At kinabukasan, tanghali na ko nagising. Sarap matulog ee, malamig kahit hindi kami nakaaircon. Ang sarap nung luto ng pinsan namin, si Kuya Teng, nakakabilib ee.Nung hapon, sumama kami dun sa libing, magkakasama kaming magpipinsan, kaso saglit lang yung bonding kasi uuwi nadin sila pagkatapos na pagkatapos nung kainan. Pero nagpicture taking muna kami, ang saya nga ee, ang kakasat namin. Hahahahahahahaha :)))))))

Dumiretso kaming Tagaytay nun, ang lapit lang kasi. Pagdating namin dun, wahhh, hindi ko inaasahan na ganun kalamig, tagulan kasi ee. Grabe, gininaw talaga ako. Namiss ko rin magpunta dun, ang tagal na kasi naming hindi nakabalik ee. Ayun, naglaro kami, bowling naman, tapos yung kukuha ka nung stuff toy chu chu na faillllllll. Kainis yun, nakuha ko na, dumulas pa, parang love lang yan, ahahahahahahahahahahahaahahahahahahaha. Lahat nalang kinompare sa love ee. Chaross. Ayun nga, kain kain din kami dun at dun ko lang naisip na gusto ko nung Cherry mobile na ang cute. Hahahaha. Lalo yung pink :">

At kinabukasan, maaga kaming bumiyahe at hindi kami ginabi sa paguwi. At ayan, nasa bahay na ako. Boring pero mas okay na yan kesa naman pag may pasok. Natutuwa ako sa Looklet :"> Sobra. NagTumblr din ako, at ngayon ko lang naalala na malapit na yata akong mag1year sa Tumblr, yeahhhhhhhh. Nagtext lang din ako kahit isa lang naman yung katext at alam niyo kung sino yun. Nung birthday ni Pat, nagkitakita kami, ang saya saya saya saya, kaso si Chelsi lang yung wala, naging organizer ako nun eeee. Tawag dito, text doon. Ok naman! Tapos nanood lang ako ng tv, nanood ng videos ng Super Junior at naadik sa Bonamana, aba. Sobrang naaadik ako dun ee. Winiwish ko na sana kasing galing ko silang sumayaw. Frustrated na. HAHAHA. Pagka ako naging ganun kagaling, sasali ako sa Pilipinas Got Talent!!! Isasama ko si Rico! Hahahahaha, back-up dancer :)))))))

Speaking of PGT, nako, gusto ko sana, si Alakim yung nanalo, napakalupet kaya nung act niya. Frustrated magician naman ako oh... Hahaha. Kapag ako natuto magmagic, hmmmm, wala lang!!!! :P HAHA. Ang epal ko naman. Naalala ko yung butterflies sa magic ni Alakim. Waah, bet namin ni Ariana yun ee. Isang dahilan kung bakit masaya ako e dahil may trailer na ang Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. Grabe, part 1 palang ngayong year. Kailangan ko pa maghintay ng isang taon. Awww. Pero ok langggg :)))

Napa-nailart ako kanina.. PAKWAN.

At bukas, papasok na kami. Uy Rico! Makikita na kita! HAHAHAHA. Mga bebe! Woooo, chikahan na ulit. :"> Isang schoolyear nanaman to ng pagiging mean. HAHA. Ayy, seniors na pala kami no? Sana di nalang kasi natatapos highschool. Awwwwwwww.

And those are the things that I did last summer vacation. The End =)
