goodbye The MakeBelieve!!

It is official. I am on a blog leave.

Since its sembreak, im spending my spare time hogging the computer, absorbing Photoshop and drooling over these very complicated codes-- all of these for the sake of my new blog.

May gulay, who knew this could be so hard?

Well, im expecting my super powers to come out anytime and help me get over this layout fiasco, but somehow, my super powers are disappointing me.

Powers? Where art thou?

Anyhoo... I have so much to tell you. But i am sadly holding my tongue and saving the details for my new blog.

Basta, so much happened yesterday.

Yesterday was one of my best days this year.

Also, i am going through a transformation. I am slow by slow wlaking toward Jesus.

I will just talk about everything when i get back.


ps.
i have a contest tomorrow. Pray for moi. Ü

I cant post today or tomorrow or the next day after tomorrow
or the next day after that. I am currently building my new blog.
And I think im going to barf with all these HTML shizz.
But im not in a blog leave.
Or maybe i am?

Those feelings sparking again [Im listening to The Scientist by Coldplay..haay..im teary-eyed.i feel that way when i listen to their songs.]


I have a lot of things to tell you.


First of all, I am really happy of what Nadine said on her message on my cbox. I have read it just now and I am smiling, feeling happy of myself. According to her, I am growing up and my entries are more sensible. Wow. The greatest message left on my cbox yet.

Yes, I agree with her. I have [heeeheee] blossomed. This year is what I call my golden year. The rosebud has turned into a full-grown fragrant rose. Well in my case, not that full-grown but i am in the process. Day by day, i discover something new in myself.

I had a talk with a guy friend this afternoon. He has been my classmate since first year. It happened that we talked about myself then and now. He said that i used to be unexplainably complicated and immature. [Okay, not those exact words but close to them] What he said brought back memories of who i used to be.

When i was in first year, i was like a barbaric nomad. I have just graduated from grade school [which my life there was hell] and i had no real friends at that time. I had no personality and my eyebrows were really bushy [im so happy i considered plucking!]. I was a confused fish out of water. Then i met these group of girls whom i thought were my friends. Yes, they were my friends but they turned me into a barbarian. Why? I became a foul-mouthed insecure wannabe when i was tailing them around.

Okay, i feel guilty. They were good friends but i guess, they are not that modest.
What a shame. I was once one of them. I was influenced by there unlikely culture and lifestyle. Shame..shame..shame

Then my second year in high school came. My barbaric friends and i were separated because we were in different sections. I thought that it was the end of the world at that time. Why? Because there is a myth that when your friends are in different sections, your friendship will sort of loose track of the right direction and eventually sink. [I know, really immature and innocent]

But I figured out that i was not happy in their company. So i decided to make friends whom will influence me for the good. Fate favored me and i met my current friends because of a class grouping. These people are familiar to me since we were schoolmates since grade school. But as i have said, my life in grade school was hell so i didnt have the chance to socialize [as if i knew how to socialize when i was in grade school. I was a people-pleaser.].

Okay, so you know what happened next. I met friends who are really friends. We were similar and different but in good ways. For the first time in my melancholic life, i felt secure and happy with my friends.

They changed me. Okay okay..some things did too but they made a great impact.

And i am so happy that i have met them.

Well, it seems an entry supposed to be all about my transistion from past to present became a friendship post. Heehee..

I guess something or someone prompted me to contemplate on my social life now.

Haay..buhaayy.

Now that i am in my third year in high school, i am better..and will be doing better..than ever.

Gees.. i am so cheesy!

[im watching The Devil wears Prada right now. Lets see if its a little better than the book.]

I always get away with things. [currently drinking Welch's grape juice]

Yes.. I do, i do. I woke up at 7.35 this morning and classes start at 7:15. I was really panicking. I thought of missing school but we have this very important event so i made up my mind to go to school and kept my fingers crossed that i can make my way through my magic. [bwahahaha]

Well, i got to school at 8!! I came almost one hour late. But, as i have said, my magic always works. I dont know, maybe i turn invisible or something.They did not notice moi. Haaay... tantananan-tanan
SUPER CHARING!!

Anyway, that important event was our annual SCORES or Students Congress of Recollects School. It is an inter-school [or in our case, inter-recollect-school] literary musical competition. Our school is the host for this year. Some of the students will also be hosts to the delegates from other recollect schools. They will provide house and lodging to them. I know, it sounds really exciting.

But i did not host. Its tiring and i have to socialize. I had enough of that. [ :D]

I was their tour guide though. The main reason why i wanted to tour them around campus is because i want to [ahhemm] see some cuties. But i realized that it was not right. I am not a flirt or anything so i just felt really stupid doing that. Stupid things stupid people do.

Haay..

And btw, i was really looking forward for this SCORES. I thought that something enchanting and magical will happen to me just like what happened to me when Bacolod City hosted the football category of SEAGAMES. [its a looong story]

But i guess those magical events in our life happen only once in a while.

About the SEAGAMES, its a loong story. But to summarize it, I [together with my few other crazy friends] went to Robinsons in a bus full of Thai football players. All guys. There were only 3 girls including me. How nice.. and dangerous.

This SCORES thing will last for a week. I will just wait for that magical moment. [heeheee]

ps.
thanks for the pipz who dropped by.

Defining cheapness

I forgot to tell you this little something that happened to me yesterday. Its not really that interesting. I just thought of making a post out of it because i cant think of anything right now.

So i was at National Bookstore yesterday. I was drooling over their very very tempting books. I was eyeing a novel about an abused little boy whose mother considers him a slave so he was sent for adoption but things are still pretty messed up. [I forgot the title..hehe]

I saw my cousin outside the bookstore. I said hi and he said hello. Then he introduced me to his so-called manager. My cousin has a twin and they model for...i dont know. Basta they have modeling stints here in Bacolod City.

I smiled at his manager which happen to be a [ehem] bakla.

Then he [or she?] told me

"oh hija, why dont you join Miss Teen Calendar?"

And i was like wtf?? Miss Teen Calendar? Uh..knock knock? Cheapness!

Of course i refused and i made lame excuses like I am so busy or i have something else to do [im so disappointed because normally, i make really believable excuses].

He thought for a while and suspiciously said that our exams are over so why am i still busy. Well, excuse me mister, I have alot of things to pay attention to than just walking stupidly on stage wearing a cheap pageant dress and faking a smile!!!

But i didnt tell him that. He continued saying that "I will join you in December, o diba?"

Now i was forced to fake a smile. I kept my manners and politeness and just said i will think about it [but of course i wont.Why waste brain cells?]

Then i walked away. People like them are... never mind. [i promised not put profanity here on my blog]

Gosh, beauty pageants like those are so chipipay [omg! Im using gay lingo]. I dont want to join not because i cant do it, but because i dont want to look cheap...and stupid.

My common perception for people joining those kind of beauty contests are deperate. Desperate for attention.

If i were to choose whether to join a local beauty pageant, or a scary Math Olympiad, i will definitely go for the Math thing, even though im bad in Math.

SO you see, becasue of this post, I am making a statement.

I prefer brains, than beauty.[But its always good to have both..bwahaha]

Change for the better

I am currently changing my friendster profile . My sister Abby sent me a message that I should better change my profile, which will reflect who I really am and not who I want people to think of me. She noted that I am Gods princess. I guess she told me that because I used to think that I am a true American in a Filipino body.

I know, it does sound bad and discriminating but I don’t mean it that way. I am proud to be Pinay but I just strangely love things that are of American like movies, music and books. I am not saying that things of Filipino are bad or whatever that comes into your mind. We are talented and world-class. But some people just have different tastes and happen to be opinionated.

And that include me. I am just making it all crystal clear. Alright?

So now, I have learned a lesson. Be contented and happy of who you are and what you are. I am a Filipino with a fetish for international chuvaness. [heeshees]

Now I am going to tell you what happened today.

The public and private schools in Bacolod City are annually having an inter-school competition. Our school hosted the Dancefest for this year. Dance groups from different schools compete for the pop dance category and there is also a dancesport.

So there, we watched with the entrance fee of 30 pesos. I was at first reluctant to watch because I am so kuripot and 30 pesos sounds like 300 pesos for me. But I ended up watching the thing because my sister, Andrea , will dance. So you know, sisterhood support.

It was okay. Some schools just didnt get what pop dance should really mean. There was a group that was just confused. While they were performing, I thought I was in a strip club [!!!]. Their costume was... Haay... basta, the their costume is every mans dream [bwahahaha].

I have a theory: If you are number 1 in a competition where there are more than 5 participants, chances are [so sorry] you will end up losing.

So there was 11 participants and my sisters group [which was our schools group] was number 1. So, my theory was right. They didnt bring home the bacon.

Honestly, they were all saying that the judging was unfair and blah blah blah.. Sore looser?

I dont know. No comment. Maybe one of them will read my blog. I f that happens, ill be dead.

Anyway, my post is really boring. It is so self-centered. I will try to post a nice entry tomorrow.

Yees..yees..I am back!!

Forgive me for the cold,stupid,sarcastic post I have just made. I was just really tired that I felt like my brain shrunk. Bwahahaha...

But what I said were true. I am dead tired. I need to sleep.

Anyway, I am happy at this moment. My smile is as big as this. As in. I am currently loading the brushes I have just downloaded from www.pootato.org and they are WOW. Super duper ganda.. [tagalog oh..]

I am learning how to use Photoshop because I really do want to make my own blog layouts. My current layout is really simple BECAUSE I have just started decoding it. But once I master Photoshop, you guys just watch out. [Bwahahaha]

Whenever I bloghop, I feel bad because man, their blogs look fantabuloso. People who can make blog layouts like the ones at www.blogskins.com are for me [ehem] geniuses. It does not take a million years for me to learn something new. I am a fast learner [hehe] but somehow, I am like dumb and dumber when it comes to Photoshop. Ppfff..i want to work it like pro. But I cant.

Time..All I need is time.

Okay, now lets talk about the friggin exams.

Well what can I say? The word examination means torture to every student. Just hearing it already makes your heart skip a beat. * rolling eyes *

I am not an anti-exam-girl. Well.. okay.. a little. But I just dont like exams because of how it turns you into a caffeine-addict-pimple-faced-freak.I am not over-exaggerating.
I have zits on my face right now because i study and stay up as late as 1 in the morning. [Alleluia for Panoxyl, my shweetheart].

Man, i am so ranting right now. But thats the point of blogging right? So here is my list of the things i hate about exams.

1. Exams keep me away from my dearest blog.
2. I have to spend money for my photocopies.
3. I have to bring all my books home from my school locker. All 10 books. And i end up
looking like i am a refugee having books as my clothes.
4. I have to expand my memorizing powers to the highest limit.
5. After memorizing, I forget everything the next day.
6. I have to pay all my balances to get a permit. [not necessarily me..my mother actually]
7. I have to say no to the temptations of watching TV and blogging. [which i am not particularly good at]
8. I have to deal with pimples for staying up late.
9. Exams turn me into a control freak.
10. Exams make me grumpy.
11. I develop a panic disorder.
12. I have to cope up with the time limit.
13. I have to study and learn things which are not really revelant in the near future. [like drafting]
14. I have to apply time management. [im very bad at this]
15. I have to make guesses and decisions.
16. Block outs.
17. I cant take a bath. [When i am really busy, i dont take a bath.Bwahahaha]
18. Cramming. >:C
19. I cant have my siesta.
20. Exams just devour all my super powers. 8-/


I also wanted to make a list of What i like about exams but i just cant think of any. Although i have a tip for you:

Study on the floor.

I used to study on my bed but the softness of it makes want to sleep. So i decided to move to the floor. And its effective.Try it.

So now let me ask you, what do you hate and love about exams?

ps.
Thank you for all who left messages.
I heart you. :D

Murder. Our periodic exams were like murder.


With tired eyes, tired soul, i am blogging. I missed this world. I missed my life online.

I only had 4 hours of sleep in the past three days and i should be sleeping right now.Seriously.
But here i am. Absorbing the radiation of my monitor and indulging myself to the sound of the keyboard keys. And i am happy. Ecstatic. Why should i bother sleeping if i cant sleep. Im having insomnia or what you call it. I just lay there, twisting back and forth, left and right, imagining things.But i just coud not sleep. I tried counting my sheeps. It didnt work. Why? Because i am just pathetically abnormal.

I sound tired am i? Yeah..with the looks of it, this post is empty, senseless and worthless.


*2 minutes of thinking*


Thats it. Im out. Ill be back when im fully charged. ~_~

Before anything else...

Happy Birthday Sophie!!!

Side comment from the blogger herself:
[Tired from a hard day of studying, I came home restlessly with the plan of doing my homework and sleeping early. But, I have to say, it is indeed a wonderful life. When I went inside our house, I was greeted with * drumroll * a tupperware of lechon!!!! But not only the usual meat or whatever you call it.. There was also a smaller tupperware of crispy lechon skin..Woohoo.!! I dont know where the heck it came from.. but one thing is certain, someones turning into a pig.Bwahahaha]

Another side comment:
[Im taking a break from the bloggingworld.I wont be blogging for the next two weeks because our second grading examinations are coming up. So this post will be long.Probably the longest post I have ever made. Enjoy it. Au revoir!!]


I know I said I will post new features every month here in my blog. But due to circumstances, I wasnt able to. I said three things:

1. I will feature something or someone I love at the moment.
2. I will post the lyrics and the video of the song stuck on my head
3. I will tell something juicy or new about myself every 30th of the month.


I only managed to do the second because it didnt require me to think.Hehehe.. I was just really tired to think.But now, my brain cells are fully charged [blame it to the lechon] and I am ready to unleash my super powers... Read on.

COLDPLAY-ing






If you happen to tune in to MTV, you cant help but notice the new videos from new artists they play. Well some you cant notice because they are not that great to be noticed but you know...you get the picture right?

And for a fact,with the advent of so many bands these days, its really hard to decide which song to listen or which group to idolize. Lets see, just to name new bands both foreign and local, there is the ClickFive,Spongecola, Callalily, Pupil,Itchyworms and the oh-so-not-interesting Cueshe [Bwahahaha..read:its just my opinion]

Oohh...but not only bands, solo artists too. On the list are Rihanna, Cassie, whats-her-name and the list goes on and on..

But despite these new bands and artists, no one [and i mean NO ONE] could ever replace that extraordinary, exceptional Bristish band permanently marked on my heart. Do i need to say it?

Duh..Coldplay!!

I know it will spark some arguments and violent reactions if i say that they are the best band, so let me rephrase it and say they are ONE of the best bands in the world. I could listen to their songs all day and i wouldnt even get tired.

Let me give you a quick history of how i first met Coldplay and how i fell inlove to the beauty of their music.[So cheesy]

I first heard them when i was watching The OC.[yes..this teeny bopper thing was my favorite before] It was their season finale and people were punching each other,dying..the drama was very heavy. I was very absorbed in the episode. When one of the characters drowned in the pool, this very melancholic song played as their BG music. It was very solemn yet the song was kind of a rock/pop song.

The song was suck on my head.Yet i didnt know wat song was that or who sang it. At that time, i was very ignorant with the music industry. At that time, coldplay was just a word to me.

But as destiny would find its way to let a fat kid find that jar of cookie, destiny made Coldplay and i meet once again.

I have just downloaded BearShare and i was searching for songs to download. [Everyone knows what it is right? But to the clueless, it is a program that allows you to download MP3's from the web.] I typed in: Songs from The OC. After a few seconds, it displayed hundreds of songs which the TV show used as their BG music. There were hundreds. I randomly clicked the song i thought was nice.. and guess what? I magically clicked that Coldplay song. It was entitled Fix you and i just thought what a nice title so i clicked it.

After downloading them, i burned the songs to my cd and listened to them that night. I listened to that Coldplay song..I listened hard to the lyrics. And it was love at first sight.. or in my case love at first hearing [is the grammar right? i cant find the right word] .

Its really weird but starting from that day, i could constantly hear the band Coldplay being mentioned on TV or get to watch their videos. Its like after discovering them, MYX suddenly played their videos more often.Weird.

I sound really cheesy throughout this whole post, and to sound even cheesier, i cried when i heard that Coldplay song. Man, just listen to the song Fix you. It is really nice. And i was feeling really emotional that time because it was the first time that i got a line of 7 grade.. so i guess that added to the factors that made me cry.. Haay buhaaay..

Anyway, there are so many reasons why i love Coldplay but i believe the most important thing is because of that special ingredient they add to their songs that just make my heart skip a beat and makes my mind just take a break from everything whenever i hear their songs.

OOhhh..i just love them.. Here are some websites dedicated to them.

www.coldplay.com

Happy 1st of October

For some reason, i celebrate whenever the first day of every month comes. It is like a new beginning to a 30 or so days of journey.Bwahahaha... Im so corny.

Anyway, it is the month of the Holy Rosary. Our school will be praying the rosary every single day. Im excited. Its nice to think that youll be praying everyday for a whole month. Its the least thing you could do...

I am so speechless right now.. So i decided to just post here a survey from www.bzoink.com
I love taking surveys because i dont take them seriously.Hehehe

But seriously, it is like a moment to take a break and reexamine yourself. It makes you wanna say

[Oh may gulay.. Grabe.. I almost had a nervous break down before posting this post. I signed in to blogger and when the page loaded to my dashboard, the blog displayed was different. It was an empty blog with no posts. My eyes grew wide. Questions rushed into my mind. Did someone hack my blog and deleted all my posts? I looked at the username area and it showed the username I typed while I signed in. It turned out, the username I typed in was different. I typed in my username in friendster. The blog displayed was actually the one I experimented.. Hahahahaha... What a fiasco.]

Wish Granted

My friends keep on bugging me that they dont have a single exposure here on my blog. So ladies and gents, I am granting your wish.

Below is probably our best group picture[well duh.I directed it.Bwahahaha] We were having our PE class at our football field. It was March of this year and the end of the school year was nearing.When it is almost end of the school year, we hardly have serious classes. Oftentimes, we just talk and bum around. So that was the situation that day. Our PE teacher was making chikka with our other classmates and my friends and I had nothing to do. But as we all know, if there is a camera phone lying around, there is always something to do. So I grabbed the phone of Sophie [the one with the pussycat] and told them to look up to the sky as if Prince William was there or whatever. But somehow, things messed up [some apparently did not follow my directions. Ahemm...] But im glad that this picture messed up because we all look happy and the picture does not look scripted..Haay.. just missing the good old days..

BTW,

Woohooo!!!
I have finally replaced those boring smilies in my funky cbox. Those smilies were just lousy. Im sorry cbox.ws , but you have to know the truth. I suggest you make cuter and more lively smilies for your cboxes. I got my new smilies from http://www.bouncy-bubbles.net/ . [I love that website] Go ahead…post something on my cbox and use my smilies.

Featuring City of Devils by Yellowcard -->link

The song currently stuck on my head. [or shall i say LSS] I have placed the video too so you can sing along. :D








City Of Devils
Yellowcard

Man once sang to me, look at you saving the world on your own
And I wonder how things are gonna be
cause the time here it passes so slow
In the city of devils we live
A city of devils we live

Find somebody to learn
Boy you gotta love someone more than yourself
I can feel the fire of the city lights burn
And its hard to find angels in hell

Flying along
And I feel like I dont belong
And I cant tell right from the wrong
Why have I been here so long
In a city of devils we live
A city of devils we live

Questions I cant seem to find
To the answers I already have
And you cant see the sky here at night
So I guess I cant make my way back

Flying along
And I feel like I don't belong
And I cant tell right from the wrong
Why have I been here so long

What if I wanted you here right now
Would you fall in the fire
Burn me down
If I wanted you here right now
Would you fall in the fire
Burn me down
If I wanted you here right now

In a city of devils we live
In a city of devils we live
A city of devils we live
In a city of

Flying along
And I feel like I don't belong
And I cant tell right from the wrong
Why have I been here so long
I dont belong
Dont belong
I've been here too long
too long

Why do I blog in English?

There are two reasons behind it.

1. I am more comfortable [and happier] in blogging in English than in Filipino. Actually, not just in blogging. I prefer English in writing, speaking and reading. The Filipino language is great and all but I cant fully express myself in Filipino. I could not always find the right word since I feel like there is a limitation in its vocabulary. In English, the possibilities are endless. Besides, I am more into American thingies than in Filipino. I prefer American TV, American movies, American fashion, and [some] American music. [Oh no!! Does this mean I betray the Philippines or what?] But of course, when it comes to values, I am a Filipina. :D

2.I am from Bacolod City. So blogging in my local language [which is what most bloggers do] would be worthless because not all people could understand Hiligaynon.


So that is why, ladies and gentlemen, I blog in English. I wanted to stress out the statement in color blue but i guess i will just save it for another day.Anyway, remember what I said about posting new stuff and features here every month? Well ill try to post one today. Im keeping my fingers crossed.

My favorite Picture



This picture of myself was taken when it was summer of this year. I just sat there in the seaside and my sister clicked the camera and voila... a very very dramatic picture. I dont know what was i thinking when i posed but i really look melancholic. As if i lost someone or i am heartbroken or something.So nice. [Mouse over the picture for caption.]

Im planning to write a story out of this picture.Hmm.. Ill post it here when its done.

Tootles.

Absorbing the details
*reposted with corrections

I carefully examined my blog. Every inch I analyzed. I came up with my conclusion: it looks very banal. Very ordinary. And I do not like it. So I made a list of what I have to do to make it better.

On the layout
I am happy with my layout. Although its really simple, I still lurve it. It is original, unique and has a personal touch since I made it. I used to depend on www.blogskins.com for layouts. But I realized that there are also hundreds of bloggers using the same layout I use. How can one make an identity with that? So I decided to buy Adobe Photoshop and make a layout myself.

I have to make a few changes though.

1. Change my main picture. Im not going to totally change it. Ill just edit it a little and replace a picture.

2.Change my profile picture. I dont really look pretty in my current profile pic.Haha.

3.Organize my links. The links area is a total mess. I have to update it.

On the entries
Since February [I started blogging on February] I have made a total of 65 posts. I have read them and im not quite happy. They are all... rants.Well I know that a blog is a place for ranting but too much ranting is redundant. Makes you look like a complainer.Once in a while, the blogger should post something pleasing to the senses. So here is what ill do.

1.Every month, ill feature something I love at the moment. It could be a book, a movie, a band or even a brand of underwear.

2.Every month, ill post the lyrics of the song currently stuck on my head.

3.On the 30th of every month, ill post something about myself. A secret perhaps. Or anything you guys still don’t know about me. [its gonna be juicy]

4.Post more pictures. I really want to post so many pictures here but the problem is my internet connection is giving me a hard time. Its very slow. And I dont like to wait. So I guess if you want pictures just visit my multiply at the links area.

These are not promises. These things are subjects to change without prior notice. I may not be able to post them if I am really busy. But ill try my best to post them.

How sad, how sad

Last night, my phone was unli and it will expire also at 11 today. Im not really a text addict kind of person [it was my first time na magpaunli since summer] but I was really happy at the thought if texting all day [it is a good exercise for my fat thumb]. My battery was low but I didnt bother to charge since I had the whole day today to charge. I was also planning to websurf and be a blogfreak today. So as you can see, I carefully planned out what I will do on Saturday.

But when I woke up this morning, it was *drumroll* freakin blackout. I wanted to scream at the top of my lungs [but I didnt since I will report the Gettysburg Address on Monday].

I saw my phone and decided to make the best out of this mess and just text. I was able to send a message or two but after a few minutes * drumroll * my battery was dead. I slumped myself on my bed and threw my pillows here and there [as if I was having a pillow fight with myself]. I was angry, thinking how exceptionally sad my life is.

Turns out, some electricians were fixing a busted electric wire or something and it affected our neighborhood. They said the lights will be back at 5 [!!!!] .

So the whole morning, I was alone in our house with no electricity, an unlimited cellphone with an empty battery and a fridge full of leftovers.

How lucky I am.

Okay okay. Enough of the sarcasm. Im done with that.
Ill post another entry after this one.
Peace.

Worthwhile Lessons

Lesson no. 1 Always know your teachers name.

At the first day of school, our new set of teachers was introduced. We had a lot of new teachers since five veteran teachers retired the previous school year. Okay, so when our Chemistry teacher introduced herself, I wrote down her name on the first page of my Chem notebook. [I wrote down what I thought I heard]

I kept on calling her the name I wrote down on my notebook since June. I called her by that name when I ask her questions, when I meet her around school campus or whenever I talk to her.

During exams, I write that name [which I thought was her name] on the teacher’s name section on our answer book. [we call it a blue book]

But a few hours ago, I made a startling discovery. That name is not her name. I added an A. Yes. I called my Chemistry teacher the wrong name for four months. What a smart move. Im so proud of myself.

No wonder she keeps on making parinig that someone massacres her name. Whenever she does that, Id suspect other people and think how clueless they are. Haha. So funny.

Lesson no. 2 Too much of something is very bad.

I ate five packs of cream-o today. And I dont feel too good. There is a story behind every pack of cream-o I eat. Here’s one.

My classmate found a fifty peso bill lying happily on the floor. It was as if the bill was wanting to be found. She told us and asked if someone lost that amount of money. Fortunately, no one said yes. Someone hungry suggested that we would buy the money our all time favorite cream-o. Without further ado, I found myself in our canteen excitedly buying 8 packs of cream-o.

After 3 minutes, all of the cream-o were history.
And 30 mintues later, someone said she lost fifty pesos. All of us were dead silent.

End of the story.

Today is a good day. [Actually, I think everyday is a good day. Its just a matter of perception.] I woke up in a positive mood. Maybe because I slept early last night.

Early in the morning, I saw that cute guy whom my friend Jelyn and I have been giggling about since Araw ng Wika. Haha. I dont know.....I havent had a crush for a looong time. Grades are on my mind 24/7. Sometimes I even think ill grow up as an old maid. Maybe its time for me to take a break and start drooling eh? [drooling? O.A]

Then I saw him again along the stairway...and again along the corridor. Haaayyy.... I think I saw him five times today. Jelyn and I were laughing our stomachs off.

The best part of this day is I acing our Math Seatwork. Okay not really acing. I got 5 mistakes. Hey! Thats a good thing because that seatwork was like murder. You know that feeling when your hands are sweaty, you heart is skipping a beat and you expect the worse? Well i felt that way. I expected I wont pass or id flunk it but tad-ah.... a miracle just happened. So cool.


Hah. I sound like a fat kid eating cake. Im just so happy. I guess im a nerd. Or a geek or whatever they call it. Grades make me happy. Grades grades. Thats just all I ask for. Good grades. Period.

But of course, I am kind of pissed off. Remember from my last post i told ya about this stupid guy sending me messages on friendster? Well he wont stop!!!
I told him to get a life but i guess he is just too stupid to do so. I forgive him for being like that. But i know he as at least a little bit of intellegence in his brain to stop pestering me right? [If he has a brain]

I also told him that one word is enough for a wise guy. Ooops, i forgot. He is the opposite of that. Man, im so mean. Im like this to stupid people who annoy me. Sorry for him.

Anyway, I am currently drinking grape juice. I am also searching for a meaningful 1-minute speech for Technical English on Wednesday. Oh, and i have a Geometry quiz and a Chemistry test tomorrow. How nice.


ps.
i thinking i'll loose my voice tomorrow.
oh no!!!

Changed

Yes. Ive changed it. Im hoping that people would not get confused of my change of url. Oh well, it their life.

Anyway, there's this someone sending me messages on friendster.
I am so pissed at him. Basta. Stupid people doing stupid things.

Later.

Great.

Someone is using makebelieve.blogspot.com.
I visited it and guess what, the considerate blogger made just one post dating back from 2004. What an intellgent person. Why dont she delete it?

I tried other names too. I tried the parachutes but some Spanish girl is using it.

So what i will do is to stick to makebelieve and add the.

My url will be
the-makebelieve.blogspot.com

good enough. I'll change it maybe next week.

Made up my mind


parachute-hours
parachutes
theparachutes
toseparachutes
parachute-wedges



makebelieve.blogspot.com

Im not quite sure whether this url is taken. Im still going to check it. Im keeping my fingers crossed.

Im thinking of change. Perhaps a change of url. Im tired of frolic-chick. Its too... shallow. It means nothing. I dont know what was i thinking when i decided to use it. Well at first my url was pinkeroo.blogspot.com. But i googled it and someone from www.xanga.com is using it. So then I changed it to my current url.

I want my url to be original and meaningful. I have thought of something already.

parachute-hours.blogspot.com

What do you think?

Parachutes are used by skydivers when they are nearing land. They are considered lifesavers. Like me, i need a parachute when i am falling from the downfalls of life. I need a parachute that shall land me to somewhere safe and peaceful, home.
Parachutes are also brought by or affected by the direction of the wind. I am a parachute. Im just flowing wherever life takes me. I am still confused and uncertain of where i want to go.

An hour is 6o minutes long. I live my life in hours. 24 hours a day.

Im going to change it. Ill just announce when.

Bittersweet

Our report card were given out on Tuesday. Yes. I am quite happy with my class rank. Okaaay... I am overwhelmed.Just imagine how i worked to pull my rank from 20.5 to 4.5.

I am a living proof that if you put your heart to what you want to achieve, nothing is impossible. When i received my report card, i was at first hesitant to look at it. I was scared that maybe i would be disappointed. But i pulled myself together and looked.

I jumped for joy. Literally. Then i gave out a slight mini scream and looked at the thing again. Just to make sure that i dont make a fool out of myself.

How nice. That was a moment of superb happiness.

But now that everything has sunk in, the happiness is somewhat no longer there. Its replaced with paranoia and uncertainty.

Now i have to maintain my rank. And i have a bad history regarding this. Im not consistent. I am just not.These past few days were weird. I am acting weird. Its like i am pressuring myself to always get the perfect score. And so, i end up not getting it. Crazy me.

Last night, i made a realization. I shouldn't count how many mistakes i have but instead, count the number of correct answers God has given me.

Its also very true in life. I always think about the things i do wrong and my problems. Well yeah... I am thankful of the good things but not from the heart. And this should not go on.

I know. I take everything seriously.

Moral Lesson: Dont do what this blogger does. Carrying a heavy heart.

I really need to lighten up.!!!!

What was I thinking?

I woke up with a sore throat, an unusual harsh voice and with a restless body.

Im sick. Both physically and emotionally. Oh and yeah... Im about to be sick mentally too. I dont want to publicize what i did and what happened here. Its too sad.

Basta.... I disappointed so many people.

Im tired. I just want to sleep until i recover from the humiliation. Which probably would take forever. Why? Simply because i dwell in the past. Haayy... charing

Anyway, our Student Government organized this big event yesterday. We call it the "After 7". A night of disco and dancing as different bands both from our school and from outside our school showcase their talents.. [I sound like an advertisement.]

So there... we danced all night long. Well not really all night long. I went home early. My head felt like it was spinning and i felt sick. I wasnt enjoying. [Hah. Now i sound like a total killjoy..]

The bands were…hmmm… never mind. Ill keep it to myself.

Well well well… U-week is over. It passed in a snap of a finger. Like what I have said, this u-week is not that amazing. Im not impressed.

Whatever.

Im just tired.

(-_-)

Whats going on?

Funny. Our 60th University week started four days ago and tomorrow will be the last day and I have not even mentioned a single word about it here. Well there is not much to blog about u-week. Its simply a week long celebration [or almost a week] of the anniversary of our school. Classes our suspended and students our allowed to wear civilian clothes. For me, U-week is a fashion show. There are booths and kiosks.You know, street food like fishball and hotcakes.

Anyway it means UNO-R is 60 years old. Hmm... growing old eh?

This year's u-week is a total boo!!
5 letters

b.o.r.i.n.g

*yawn* I just love it because theres no class and we can just sit back and socialize.

Oooh... before i forget I am going to be a contestant of another Impromptu Speaking Contest. Yes. Youve heard it right. I am.Again.

How ironic.

Its for the Literary-Musical Contest. Its the an annual competition participated by hs students in our high school. So i am the representative of the Third year together with my dearest friend Nadine.

And now i have to win this and beat the fourth years because I won in the VOY Impromptu Speakig Contest.

stupid..isnt it?

Pressure..pressure.. Dang, i hate that word. 8-l

And another thing, someone i call "Mr. M" is pissing me off.

:'C


Its sad. Really sad. I know you have probably heard the news. Well I read it at www.Yahoo.com two days ago. It may be late for me to dedicate a post for our wildlife warrior but i just have to. I grew up watching "Crocodile Hunter" in Discovery Channel. His Australian accent which i used to find funny and the way he wrestles with crocodiles like no other fascinated me as a little kid.

But now, as a teenager I appreciate him more than that. His dedication to saving and protecting the wildlife is a great influence in our society.

He is indeed a wildlife warrior.


And i will always remember his word "Crikey" not just as an expression but as a reminder that we should all get involved in wildlife conservation.

Rest in Peace.

I did it.
*reposted with corrections

I came, I saw, I conquered. :D

Im really tired of typing the details here. It is a verrry long story.
Sorry.

But just to sum it all up, I had a great time.

I made friends with my fellow contestants. They are not as cooked as i thought they were. In fact, we were all half-cooked. It was our first time to compete in an inter-school competition.

The guests were really hmm... i cant find the right word. But the were like professional senior citizens wearing fancy Barongs and Americanas. Get the picture? And some were half-breeds. You know with American or Spanish or any other mixed nationality.

The place was nice. There were chairs and tables arranged in a manner like there was a press conference going on. And by the way, the place was freezing. The contestants were asked to sit beside the President [president of the Rotary Club International. They hosted the event.]
And i sat near the air condition. I was shaking. My lips were like shivering and i had to pretend i was okay, that i felt comfortable with the freaking temperature because i was sitted next to the president. My gaaash.

Anyway, our topic was all about the proposed of integration of sex educations in the high school curriculum.

I nailed it. Although i was pretty lost in my conclusion.

On the 30th of October, Im going to Ilo-Ilo for the District Level Competition.

So help me God.

I can do it!!!!!

Yes. I am joining. Tomorrow is the BIG DAY.

* breathing heavily *

I know, its nervewracking. But Ill deal with it.

My superpowers will come out soon and I shall conquer. Yes I will.




By the way, we had our Araw ng Wika today. I wore a pink Filipiniana dress with matching pink heels.. I wanted to post a picture here but i just could not get a decent pic. Hees.

Boo! This day is bad. My stupid pink heels caused me a sore feet. Worse, my pink Fil. dress got a ......
you know it. [its a girl thing] C;

But i dealt with the fiasco. Thank God i made it through the day. Uh-huh.
Im currently researching for tomorrow.

Yaaay... 5 more day til the University Week. Ill tell you the details next time. Tootles.

The Problem :C

I have this huge problem. (Yeah. Its funny because my last post was really happy and now im posting a problematic one. )

I am once again stuck in a stiuation where i am forced to do something i dont want to. They are joining me in this big Impromptu Speaking contest and i dont know what to do. Im scared. I cant do it. I really cant.

Well im confident that i could speak but the problem is, i dont know what to say. Im not good in forming ideas on the spot. I need time to sit down and internalize. And Impromtu Speaking Contests have stupid time limits that shall surely make me go mad. I cant. I cant.

And just think of who the other contestants will be. Theyre probably really good at this. I mean, i am still raw while theyre already cooked. Some are even over cooked.

I ask my friends. They say i should because I can. But i know myself too much. I know my weaknesses. This is my weakness. Im not good in making logical answers to tricky questions in just a jiffy. And i am about to nuts.

This thing will be on the 31st. Yes. Four more days. Whenever i remember it, i feel this weird feeling that i pretty much dont like. Its just like having a million butterflies on your stomach.
But what i feel is far worse than that. I feel like i have a billion dragonflies on my fat stomach. And i hate it.

My teacher is giving me a choice whether to join or not. But i can hardly feel i have a choice. If i dont join, its a proof that im a coward. If i do, Ill only humiliate myself.

Plus, its the same contest my sister Abegail joined in. She won a silver medal in the National Level. It makes me feel even worse. Just one word.. pressure.

My time is running out. And i cant decide. This is huge. Really huge.

A part of my brain says that i could do it.
While another part of it says to back off.
which is which?

when i opened my diary a while ago, I found this qoute written on the first page of my journal.

Have faith. Believing something is possible is to make it come true.

It hit me really hard. Its true.

*thinking*

I am like this happy

Yaayy!!!! I am done. So what do you think?

Well, at first, I thought that Adobe PS was very very weird and hard but like i told you before, im not the kind of person who takes a million years to figure out something(humility aside) and yes, after 3 days, i have cracked the Adobe Code. And i am darn happy. I thought id never be able to finish my layout since the code was giving me such a hard time. But with a gift from Heaven ( yes, i prayed that my template wont be a mess.hmm.. the power of prayer) i have conquered.

Golly, i am overreacting. I know. But this is just an achievement because i used to rely on www.blogskins.com and now i am independent.

The concept of this skin is all about the different perceptions of people on me. The multicolored pictures signify their different impressions. Pink, black blue.. whatever.

Just try to read between the lines and youll get it. ;D
Please post in my cbox if youve got something to say. You will really make me happy.
Violent reactions are accepted.


Ps.
I have a big problem.

I NEED TO SLEEP!
*reposted with corrections

I feel restless, exhausted, tired as a farmer in a rice field. I should be in bed, drooling. But here I am stressing my eyes in front the computer. I have been breaking my rule of not sleeping past 12 midnight for almost a week now. What do I do? * ehem * Study. Examination week has just ended. And it drained all my super powers.

I dont really get myself. I start studying around 8 in the morning but how come I always end up still cramming in the wee hours.
Its so unfair.
I sacrifice my time and build up eyebags for decent grades while people take it for granted and still get good marks. How crazy is that?
Like when I tell people …

Pulaw ko gab-i.[I slept late last night]
Ngaa haw? [why?]
Tuon e.[studying, of course.]
Ay teh. Wala ko gani tuon pero taas man score ko.[Ha! I didn’t study but I got a high score]

What an irony.
But its reality.
Now I know, truth hurts.
Biatchiness.


I dont feel any good vibes regarding the exams. I didnt follow instructions in Chemistry, was clueless in English and much much more clueless in History.

My gaawwwd, [just trying to sound stupid] teachers can be like so cruel. Like hello? I studied ka-yaaa tapos like ganun pala yung like exams. They give me like euwy wrinkles.

That is sooo not haawwtt.

Conclusion—don’t try being a nerd when you can’t live up the name.
I guess I was not born a nerd. Like whatever.

Anyways, blogger is giving me such a hard time. Screw you blogger!!! They page would download but the portion where you input your username and password could not. Like hello?? Stupidity.

Another thing, I just find Photoshop really complicated. I am not the type of person taking a million years to figure out something but I could not figure out Photoshop. Like hello?? Ignorance.

And one more thing, I am trying to make my own layout because I want to be unique. So what Im doing is ripping out blogskins from http://www.blogskins.com/. Like hello?? Cruelty.

Alright. Enough of likes and hellos. Like hello?? Immaout.


Ps.
Please include in your
prayers Guimaras for it
is greatly affected by the Oil spill.
Coral reefs and sea animals are killed.
Like hello?? The works of a devil.

Happy Birthday Jelyn

yah.. its Jelyn's bertday. Happy 15th. Man.. we're growing up.

Hmm... *thinking*

Im thinking of changing my blogskin. This one is so,um, dramatic. Like I had enough of the drama. I found the perfect skin at www.blogskins.com when I browsed last night. Its green and has an attitude. Should I??

We live in a city of Devils

I am currently listening Yellowcard's City of Devils and I dont know, just felt like using it as my title. Yeah.. in a city of devils we live..

I feel emotional a while ago... hmm... tantrums.. just lay their on my bed. Staring blankly at the ceiling. Lost in my thoughts.

Haha. With the things Im mentioning here, you're probably thinking I had a bad day. Well if you look at it, today was a good day. Although my white school socks were like hell with mud from our football field in PE class, its still a good day. I didnt flunk our Geometry seatwork and delivered a good speech in Tech. English.. Btw, my speech was the Gettysburg Address by Abraham Lincoln. Love that speech.

I am posting something here because it has been a million years since i lasted posted. What can i do? There's not much to blog about. My days are same same.

Anyway, I am really loving this school year. Im bonding with my classmates I did not have the chance to bond with in my second year. After class, some of us stay behind and someone would start a conversation about a juicy topic and so we talk and have a lots of laughs. Really. There are alot of people inside our four-sided classroom I want to get to know more. There is something more behind every person, right?

Haay.... to sum it all up.. I am happy :D . With the way this school year is turning out, who isnt?
Well I may encounter problems like rushing deadlines and flunked quizzes and i would feel suicidal but at the end of the day, I am happy.

I hope this new found happiness will last.


Ps..
Its raining day and night.
Sunshine, where are you?

Hello

im really busy

busy as a bee

no... busy as an ant

whatever

i will now go and hybernate

zzzzzzzzz

Winn-uh!!

Yahoo!! I won.. Officially the High School Student’s Affairs Organization SECRETARY. We had our induction yesterday..

It has been a week since I became the secretary and I feel very stressed out already. Lots of writing to do. . and typing too.. I have to admit, I kind of regret that I run.. Its just that I am very busy with schoolwork and now I am going to die with all these extra curricular activities. But I know that its my friggin responsibility because I was the one who got myself into this in the first place.

Anyway, I had a really good confession last Wednesday. Probably my best confession ever. I just poured everything out . I felt comfortable talking to the priest. He was a great one. Hmm… maybe I can have him as a spiritual adviser. He gave me meaningful life lessons… Unlike other priests, he had the time to tackle serious issues with you. We talked about what I feel towards others and other things I cant mention here. * wink *

I was definitely spiritually cleansed. I feel very happy because I was completely honest with my sins (okay..i kept some). One should really confess everything during confessions.

These past 9 days or so were really physically and mentally demanding. . a very unbearable long week for me. Indeed I can say that Im living a fast paced life. Okay… lets start from Thursday last week..

Thursday, July 13, 2006

Nadine informed me that we’re having our campaign rally the next day. I was of course worried since we haven’t practiced our production number yet. We didn’t even know what to do. So later that afternoon, all the parties rehearsed and bla bla bla and we all looked stupid.

Friday, July 14, 2006

We were excused from class the whole day for our practice and final rehearsals. The program was in the afternoon. Our party was a wreck. Well… at first. I was panicking to the highest level since I felt like our party was the least one… not only in number but also in creativity. Everyone were doing their own things and planning their cheers and were like “ Hah??!”… But of course… our super powers were released and we were able to come up with something and the rest of the ideas just sprung up. Wow. I’m really impressed because we practiced our production in just 2 hours and the outcome was good. Perhaps, the best from the others. During the rally, my heart skipped a beat. The whole high school students were there and it was just so scary. Well I have a lot of experiences regarding doing something in front of hundreds but it felt like it was the first time. I swallowed everything… shyness, pride… and just did what I had to do. That day started out really really bad but ended quite good. Yaay…

Weekend, July 15 to 16 2006

I felt like blogging over the weekend but I’m too tired to do so.

Monday, July 17, 2006

This day was a moment of truth. Our grades from our examinations were given. But it was a good day. I got good grades…grades that I deserved. * big grin * It feels good to see the fruits of your labor.

Tuesday to Wednesday, July 18 to 19, 2006

Very frustrating days. I flunked two (not just one.. but TWO) Chemistry quizzes. Imagine that? Just as when I started to think I love Chemistry….

Thursday, July 20, 2006

We had our room-to-room campaign. Yep.. We went to all the classrooms of all year levels and did what we had to do. I was specifically very nervous in campaigning in the higher year since my opponents were from the fourth year class. But courage and guts are all you need. I didn’t even think I’d make it through the day. But I did. Thank God..

Friday, July 21, 2006

YES!!! The big day. The election day. Our classes were shortened for 20 minutes to give time for the elections. Its just nerve racking to think that all the high school students will decide if I deserve to win. I didn’t really felt like knowing how many votes I got. I am afraid of the truth. I guess I’ll just wait for the results on Monday. But really.. I don’t win people would ask “okay ka lang?”. What a stupid question. Try asking that to yourself when you lose. Of course I will feel bad but hey, win or lose.. I gained a lot of fun moments from this experience. So even if I lose, I’ll still feel like a winner because of the memories I shared with my friends. But still… I WANT TO WIN!

Who doesn’t?



* im really thinking of deleting this blog

Secret. . .ary

Heeeaay. . . Im running for Secretary in our Student Assembly Oraginzation... I know... It’s such a high position. It makes me think that Im out of my league. But everyone can aim for something higher and better right?

Anyway.. to all my schoolmates out there.. Exercise your rights to vote.
VOTE BAYONA! :-* <3

I am resting in Peace

Haay finally I am blogging again. I wasnt able to for almost 2 weeks because of our First Examinations. But I have to admit, I did not really miss blogging. Sorry.(Im thinking of quitting. No one appreciates what I write here. Well the hype of blogging hasn’t reached Bacolod City yet. Screw Bacolod!!)

First exams…. I prepared for it. But I guess no matter how you study or work hard for a grade you deserve… friggin things will always come your way and mess up with you. There will always be hindrances to your happiness. In my case they are the following:

*Stupid time limits. Hello?? 1 hour is not enough.Especially in Drafting. You have to draw and at the same time answer some crap. Gash.. like what happened a while ago in our Filipino exams. The bell rang and I haven’t even started in the last test and I skipped another previous test. My hands were trembling and to make it worst. the proctor was having a final countdown or something. Pff. . time constraints. . . they make our lives miserable.

*Mental Block and a sudden amnesia. I am always a victim of these. But fortunately, I didnt experience them during exams (Halleluiah! ! God is indeed merciful). . Then why put them here? I don’t know. . I just felt like typing them.

*Questions that from no one knows where. Teachers tend to include things that you didn’t take up. So you end up putting the wrong answers and a minus to your score. . Wtf ? ? How unfair is this ? Some teachers have evil bloods. (I know someone)

Anyway, there isnt really a use of discussing them because they’re just parts of history now. What I have to do is to pray that I get grades that I deserve. AND. . . if I dont… pray that I wont give up. I mean its just the start of the school year right? Okay. .okay. .my mind is having a shut down. Im talking nonsense now. Please forgive me.
