[Sorry for the crappy English, and the wound-up thoughts.] This was supposed to be the last day of school, until our crappy Biology teacher said that we're gonna have a retest. :| The last exams of the week, TLE and Math, were short. It was easy answering TLE, but I got a bit confused in Math. When I finished, I went home to return my locker stuff. Then, me and Nyreena went to her house so she could get dressed. I was still in my comfy P.E. uniform. We went to school to wait for the others. Leslie wasn't able to come because her mom won't allow her. We went to the waiting shed. The girls rode a taxi while we rode an FX. It was a very long and hot ride. We immediately went to the foodcourt to meet the others, but we ate in Tokyo Tokyo. I ordered Beef Teriyaki and Mountain Dew. We recorded some vids, which I will upload later. After eating, we went down again. The others played Bowling. Patrick had the highest score, Monica came second. After bowling, we played billiards. Lylah won over Jeffrey, which was amusing because it was Lylah's second time playing it. So, after that, we planned to take a pic in Tronix, until some of us got hooked on those arcade games. I played a little basketball, while the others went to the other side of the arcade. They played Guitar Freaks, the DJ game, car games and shooting games. I got OP'd from them because I don't wanna waste my money. I was like a "sirang plaka" there repeating, "magpapapicture na ba?" to the others. I got irritated so much. They won't turn their heads on me. So, I got out of the establishment but Monica chased after me. She asked why was I leaving. I said I was just gonna go to Comic Alley, which I did. I went there to check some stuff, but because of anger, I left. I went up and went down again. I walked slowly, thinking random stuff. Did I even exist in their worlds? Do I have any true friends? Monica texted again after I made a GM that I was going to leave. She said they were waiting in Comic Alley. She also said that they were waiting and I should return. But my mind has already been made up. I went to the old Medical City lot to wait for an FX. It was a long wait, but my mind has been buzzing with thoughts. In the FX, I had been thinking heavily. Am I just that easy to resist? I needed someone to talk to, someone who could understand me. I wished my mom was there. Why was my family broken? Well, I knew what was the answer to that, but still, how can my mom resist me. I also thought of friendship. Were my friends true to me? Was I important to them, because they're important to me? My thoughts buzzed to my family. I was such a heavy load to them. I thought of running away, so they could live easily. So, when I arrived home, my mind became full of anger again. I recharged my phone and found out that the people that I got angry at didn't seem to realize that I was angry at them. I called Monica and asked what happened after I left. She said they had fun. They walked to Metrowalk and had a blast. Of course, I got jealous for missing all those things. But I still can't refrain from thinking was I even important, to be thought of. To get all of these negative thoughts, I cried a bit, and watched TV. I changed the channel to TV5, and they showed "Single Ladies" with male performers. The movements were very close and I LOLed so much. I went down and played Pokemon Diamond on the laptop. I also loaded new Lady GaGa and Katy Perry songs in my phone. There is still a long life ahead of me, ahead of us. These activities made me happy again. To those who experience a life like mine, live your life [eh eeh eh eeh eh eeh], try to keep a smile, and love the people around you. Bye!
The fourth quarter has been packed with lots of homeworks, projects, and activities. I've been very stressed out this month of February. I want to start on those projects still untouched. I hope next week would be as slow a Project Checklist: [Legend: x = done; _ = not started yet; - = half-done] Filipino [drawing] - (x) Math - (_) AP [short movie] - (-) Values [play] - (-) English [declamation] - (_) Computer [database report] - (x) TLE [store] - (x) MAPEH [camping] - (x) Biology [frog dissecting] - (_) This month has been terribly heavy. I wish it could end immediately. Oh, I forgot to mention that we have a National Achievement Test. All our exams start next, next week, so this is gonna be a very short year. *sigh* Labels: busy, exams, procrastinate, projects
Camping '09. This year's camping had been a blast! The first years were easy to get along with. I befriended them all. First Day of Camping: Jan. 22, 2009 I woke up at 1:22 A.M. I was very excited of the camping so I just slept for three hours. I set the alarm for 3:00 A.M. so I waited for it the ring-a-ding-ding. I took a bath, got into my P.E. uniform, and ate breakfast. While eating, I watched some episodes of Phineas and Ferb. After that, I got into my jacket, said goodbye to my family, then my dad drove me to Ever, the car playing Rihanna's current album. I was the first one to arrive there. I arrived at 4:30. Apparently, I couldn't talk to anybody, so I waited for some of my schoolmates. It was very cold. There were no people to talk to. My stomach grumbled so I told my dad for us to return home for me to poop. The bus arrived right when we left. I also got a tupperware for my food, but I didn't use it. I returned to Ever at 5:00. While waiting, my phone rang for JJ's, Irish's, and Leslie's messages. I gave Leslie some instructions. She was the second one to arrive. Irish was the third one, and Gerald was fourth and My Faith, fifth. We got in the bus to wait for the others. We saw a guy, who was one of our first-aiders, named Jerome, who looked really like Jeffrey. Some girls even asked for his phone number when we left the falls. At 5:50, the bus left, full of loquacious children. The Lagnos didn't arrive. So their 2,400 was just wasted. My seat was in A7 and JJ was my seatmate. Ian was behind us, Monica and Keziah were in front of us, and My Faith was beside us. JJ sat in the middle seat of the bus, while Jeffrey transferred to my seat. The view of the mountainous regions of Tanay was beautiful. Jeffrey and I saw a kid peeing on the edge of the highway. We arrived at Sacramento Adventure Camp at 8:00. We put our bags on the table in the hall and filed to our respective groups. Sir Estrera and the facilitators gave us some guidelines. I was leader of Group 5/Green Team. We transferred our bags to our tents after that and returned back to the hall for the map reading. Don was our Compass Reader, and I was the question answerer. It was very tiring climbing up the stairs, running to the direction were our compass pointed, and finding the stations. We got 7 out of 14 stations, so we were in 4th place. The next activity was making kitchen utensils out of bamboo. These were taught to us last year, but we were taught up in the bamboo field of the camp. It was more fun than last year because Kuya Polly cracked up some jokes. After that, we had a 5-minute break. I found a 11-12 inch stick and made it a wand. Karina smoothed out my stick at rapelling. I recited spells with it. Rapelling was the next activity. Kuya Jason performed some rapelling techniques. It was very fun looking at the others, but nerve-racking when performing them. I was the last student to perform, and Pastor Argyll said to me, "saved ka na ba?" I prayed to God for safety and guidance, and I performed rapelling just fine. I couldnt jump at the board because my feet couldn't move to well. We ate lunch after that. It was very hot in the tent area. We ate Sinigang na Baboy. It was delicious, but it burnt my tongue. After lunch, we had our knot tying. The instructor taught us several knots, but I hardly kept up. I only got the 8-knot. Darn. We had soup for merienda after that. Next was the Team Building. The five groups were combined and split to four. I was in Group 1. We were again split into 2. It was Sophomores versus Freshies. The first task was the Brain Twister. We managed to build 3 puzzles out of 15. The freshies only got 1 right. In the second task, we needed to walk on two long planks of wood as our shoes. We won 3 out of 5 tries. The third task was the life raft. We need to step on small planks of wood, get them again, then go back again. The last game was the trip bombs. The leaders needed to instruct their groupmates up to the other side of the field without tripping any bottles down. It was so fun. After the Team Building, we needed to practice our presentations at the Bonfire for 30 minutes. It was 5:00 by now. We needed to make a 2-minute dance/cheer. Our presentation was composed of various dance steps and songs. At 5:30, it was break. We changed our clothes, some even took a bath. I heard Karina, Keziah, and Carla all showering in just one cubicle. We made dances for the light in the center of the tent area. I chanted spells with my wand again. We had dinner at 6. I ate Adobong Patatas at Miyuki's tent. We talked about stuff at school and that morning. The bonfire was at 7:00 P.M. Our presentation was A-OK. The others, I think, didn't practice so much. After the presentations, we had games. First was Leron Leron Sinta. We were divided into four teams. We needed tosing the first stanza. We lost the game because of me. Our consequence was to dance Otso-Otso and Itaktak mo. The second was Act, Chant, and Pass. We had Sexy na Pike. It was so much fun. Some even invented Monica Bading. :)) Ma'am Rose gave instructions after the game for tomorrow's hiking. We took a bath after the bonfire. Me and JJ took a bath in one cubicle. The water supply was fine. There were some bees in there. Some took a bath the morning after. Sleeping time was now approaching. We played music in the tent. Sir Estrera checked the tents every 10 minutes, so we needed to shush up. I slept at 11. Don and Patrick transferred to our tents, but Pat left because there was limited space and it was hot. Second Day of Camping: January 23, 2009 I woke up at 2:00 A.M. because some people woke up because Irish was crying. I packed my stuff, went outside, and saw Carla and Keziah. We talked stuff about Twilight. Meyer doesn't accept criticism, her head's now full of air, and her grammar really stinks. My van is claustrophobic, yeah yeah. I also ate soup. Preparation time was 5:00 A.M., so we were too early. I rested at Kathleen's tent again. We talked about stuff. I got out after 20 minutes, waited for 5. I changed to my jogging pants. When it was 6:00, Kuya Polly arrived for stretching. We really had fun at the stationary jog's song. After that, we ate breakfast. I ate spam and pork with fried rice. At 7:00, we prepared for our hiking trip. It was a 6-km hike to the Daranak falls. I brought food and drinks and some money. I collected my group's P40 payments and gave it to Ma'am. I wore my swimming shorts inside my pants. We left at 7:30. It was very hot, but I still kept a smile on my face. :] We arrived at the Calenawan Cave at 9:00. It was dark. We saw some stalagmites and stalactites. Some of us also saw alibata text on the walls. Cool. It was water trekking once we arrived at the end of the cave. It was a slippery trek. My shoes were filled with water and sand. Thank the freshies for helping me climb the huge rock. We arrived Daranak Falls at 10:00. We immediately changed to our swimming clothes. I learned how to swim! Yaay! I guess we need tough legs for swimming! It was lunch at 12:00. We ate porkchop with an egg. After lunch, I swam again. I skipped some stones. At 1:00 P.M., I went to the bus to return my bag and get some clean clothes and soap and my slippers. I took a bath at 1:15 P.M. with JJ, Jeffrey and Jezreel. The water supply was slow. I wore my Pinoy Big Brother t-shirt. We left Daranak Falls at 2:00. I bought 3 buko pies and a can of Sprite. I also bought an eagle necklace. I treated JJ a blue anklet. All of us slept at the bus. Jeffrey took a picture of me sleeping, my mouth open. Damn you Jeffrey. We arrived at the school at 3:00. My stomach was grumbling, so I got my things immediately. I arrived home at 3:15 and hurried to the bathroom. After pooping, I got my things out of my bag, placed them in the basket, and rested at the sofa. After a 10-minute rest, I used the PC and started his blog. I drafted this first. Labels: bus, calenawan, camping, compass, daranak, knots, rapel, sacramento, swim, tanay, water trek
I had two Harry Potter dreams last Friday night(1/16/09) and Saturday night(1/17/09). The first one featured me, having two thin sticks. At first, I just pocketed them. I went to the CR but the lighting's broken. I pulled the sticks from my pockets. Only one remained. The stick had become longer, let's say 11 to 12 inches, and thicker. I thought of the stick for a moment, then I said Expecto Patronum. A cloud of silverish-white went out of the tip of the wand. I tried it again, and the result was the same. I shouted the chant in the third try, then came a large silverish-white puff out of the tip. My aunt asked what it was, and I said, "a Patronus." Then, I woke up. The second one featured a new villain who's face cannot be seen. No, it's not Voldemort, but a whole new type of monster, or whatever it's called. Harry, Ron and Hermione were in a dark, stony place and battled him, but they can't defeat him. The monster unleashed a blue light from his wand, then, I woke up. Those were ultra cool dreams. I wish the Wizarding World was true and I studied at a Wizard school. @-) Labels: dreams, harry potter, hermione granger, patronus charm, ron weasley, weird, wizard
I searched for "pokemon philippines" in YouTube to find some Pokemon vids here in the Philippines. Then I found these awesome commercials almost 10 years old! Check 'em: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MFtB9RjYwpk http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cOs10IZVQMk http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mc9q-eKjEDY http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bDCZyOa167M http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eq4Q3nHBNis I miss the shows in the '90s. We had no cable back then. I loved the awesome shows in the two leading channels in Philippine TV, GMA and ABS-CBN. Cartoons, anime, name it. Labels: 90s, love, miss, reminiscing
