June 25, 2010: Make a choice, Denise.
Chemistry was our first subject today. We first discussed our laboratory report for our project. Then Tr. Tina gave back our results for our first and second quiz. Second quiz result was good. First quiz, not enough. Then I blacked out on my reflection for the first quiz. So when we returned the papers, my reflection for that quiz was blank. :( And then for the last ten minutes of Chem period Tr. Tina gave us free time. Raphael, Michelle, Pambid and I discussed about the vegetable cooking contest. We talked about . . . I won't tell you what we talked about. XD
Then Tr. Mirose came and it was time for Filipino. We passed our assignment and then we discussed nouns. Then it was mass time. But we didn't have mass yet, only song practice. After that was recess. I talked to Meg and asked about the quiz in Trigo. She said she didn't answer five items and Louise missed seven. Oh no! :( So I got scared, because they were achievers and they missed a lot of items. :( And they weren't allowed to use the calculator. So it's really going to be hard. :-SS
Internet time was next. That was good, because we had time to review for our next subject, which was Trigonometry. And then . . . the quiz. I didn't answer the one where we had to convert the degree to fraction. I didn't review that part. Good thing it was only one item! But the first part of the quiz was confusing, with the x-axis and the y-axis items. That was sooooooo confusing! And there was another one where my seconds still has a decimal! So, yeah, I have a lot of mistakes. :((
Then, lunch. Raphael said that Abby said that the officers will have a meeting but it was cancelled because Abby hadn't reproduced the copies for the handbook. Yeah, I don't know what that's for. Haha! So we went to the canteen. And our next subject was Music. We discussed about Indian music. Then we reviewed for our quiz next meeting. After Music was Filipino. We just continued our discussion there.
And CLE was our last subject. Sir Carlos asked us to take out our Bible and read a Psalm. I raised my hand to recite. And Sir Carlos kept cutting in so many times. It was a little humiliating, but more funny. :)) Then sir said we're only up to 2:35 because of the SYM. So our class, Mira, went there. And it was just us, Mira. :)))) At first I was kind of lonely, but we were all talking. I was with Michelle, Hanna and Margie. Then the Freshmen came. And someone looked for someone. :))))) Then they all started getting in the gym and we lined up. Well, not exactly. We just stayed in our positions. :))
Then the orientation of the clubs. I wasn't paying attention. =)) And the paper was given, and I wrote Auxilium. A lot of my classmates wrote Juventus so I thought a lot of people will be in Juventus again this year. But when we were in the service Giselle and Chloe said a lot of Freshmen are in Auxilium. Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo! Too crowded! I'm not really a people person . . . :)) Tsk! I wanna be in Juventus now. :(
We saw a rainbow in the service! Not just a rainbow . . . A full rainbow!! That is so cooooooool!! Giselle took a picture of it. Then we realized that Percy and Annabeth and the others were calling us! Iris-messaging! =)))) And then Michelle saw that Vielka's car was beside us! Then we opened our window and waved at them. Then Vielka's smile was so big. It was funny. =)) XD Then we sent RJ home. (Parang PBB lang eh. Hahaha!) Then he drove their Everest! He's an expert already! We were all so amazed. My sister said she will never underestimate that little boy again. Me too! Whew! And now I wanna learn how to drive too.
I wanna be in Juventus. Too much Freshmen in Auxilium. At least a lot of our batchmates are in Juventus, so we could really have fun there. Tsk. I wish we could still switch clubs. :((

Blue Flower
For Homeroom we prepared ourselves because it's Sr. Teresa's birthday today. And it's also Takuya's birthday! We sang him a Happy Birthday song. And Sir John's birthday is today too. Yeah, I forgot already. I'm such a bad student. :)) Anyways, after homeroom we had Trigonometry. We learned converting decimal degree to minutes and seconds and vice versa, and addition and subtraction of degree-minute-second. I understood it all. We're gonna have a quiz tomorrow. I dunno what the topic is yet. :)) Then Sr. Teresa and Tr. Perry came in the middle of our discussion. Sr. Teresa said she was only twenty years old. :))
After Trigonometry was Drafting. We continued our plate, and we did italicized lettering this time. It was really, really hard because my hands are shaky and it seems like I can't do a straight line. :( But I finished it twenty minutes earlier, and I cut more plastic for the Chemistry project. After that we had English. Let me elaborate: manila paper-lecture in English. Yep. That says it all.
Then we had recess. Nothing much. :)) Then we had Chemistry. Tr. Tina asked us to go back in our classroom because we were noisy. But after a minute, we all went back to the corridor and went to the covered area. We leaders were called and we went to the carpentry. Xander and Pambid were . . . doing something with the sand. Filtering? XD And Pambid was dancing while they were doing that. =)) Then we put the cement into the basins. Actually, Xander was the one who did it in Pambid's headquarters. =)) So funny. XD "We don't have to go to school anymore! We have a future already!" After that we went back to Tr. Tina and the rest of Mira. Then Tr. Tina said the leaders won't do anything anymore except supervise. Cool! XDXD
So we gave the materials to our members. They got water and mixed it with the mixed sand and cement. Then we leaders agreed on the number of cups for our plastics. We only put one cup of plastic in our mixture. And they mixed it and mixed it . . . and put it in the . . . What was it called again? After that we washed our basin. Oh, it was raining, by the way. So we were in the covered area instead of the carpentry. And we passed by the elementary building. I saw Arianna and Jenna! :D They were both so cute. XD Man, I miss elem. We were so little! :D
Then we came back to our classroom just in time. Then we had Geometry. We checked our assignment first, then we had our quiz. Phew, I got a perfect score. And then, lunch. I wore my jacket! But only for a few minutes because it started getting really hot already. After lunch was Social Studies. Yey! We studied about the imaginary lines. IMAGINARY LINE. Yeah, Aivette. Imaginary. =)) And then in GT we had our first quiz. It was okay. But we haven't checked it yet. Sir Toby signed our diaries while we were doing the quiz. So we were dismissed early. First time! :)) It felt good. XD
Then it was Echoes time. We took the application exam. (Haha. Is that what it's called? :D) In the exam we were asked to make a news article about one of the three given topics, and we have to use facts to support our opinion. It was hard!! At first I wanted to do the one about how the weather affects the student's behavior towards everything, but I didn't have any facts for it. So I chose the one about the addition of a new room for the first and second year level, and even for that I didn't know how to start. And I was starting to get really conscious because Abby might read the one I wrote, and I'm afraid if I write a really DRECK article. (Dreckitude!) But I finished it, and I entitled it "One More Room For Development." What? There's nothing else I could think about, and I still had to do the proofreading part. That was easy. Haha. But I was running out of time so I hurried. And . . . YES!! It was finished. I'm really scared right now for the results. :-SS
Dad wasn't there yet. Michelle was going to hitch with us. XD Michelle and I went to Faenza and then we talked to Meg. Then Abby joined us and Sir Jhun came to us. We were talking about FIFA! Well, except Meg cause she couldn't relate. Haha! :)) And then we talked about school and nerdy stuff . . . :)) And then Abby went home and Sir Jhun too. Then Jamsy came with me, Michelle and Meg. Then we went to the payphone because Meg called her mom I think. And then we talked about Savio . . . and eventually it came to Marignano, so I couldn't relate. :( Then we talked about how Geometry was for Turin today . . . :( Then we went outside the lobby and talked about stuff. A lotta stuff! :D Then Meg went home. [ BTW their car is so cool!! :)) XD ] After a few more minutes dad arrived so Michelle and I left. Aww, Jamsy was left alone.
Then . . . there. I mean, here I am. At home. Writing this blog. :D :))
Blue flower. Haha! What if he really gave ME that? =)) When we were going back to the lobby from the payphone, he was looking for me. =)))))))) Just kidding. Maybe someone from the IT lab. :)) But he was holding the blue flower! x)))) So funny. Haha. Today was a fairytale . . . if he really gave that flower. =))

June 23, 2010: A proven theorem
First subject for today was Drafting. We did freehand lettering. Luckily I finished just on time, but I didn't complete the paragraph. But that's okay. After that was Health. Tr. Ann discussed the contests. One will be . . . *drum roll please* . . . a vegetable cooking contest!! It's per level, so it's the first competition for the year! :D It's okay if More-knees will win. :)) But I wanna eat what our section will cook. If it's good, of course. Next we had Chemistry. We first took a quiz. It was okay. ;) Next. Ooh!!! This is the funny part.
So Tr. Tina asked if anyone had a ten-peso bill. Patrick M. gave it to her. [ Take note that ten-peso bills are not produced anymore, only ten-peso coins. ] Tr. Tina dipped the ten-peso bill into the petri dish filled with ethanol. Then James turned on the lighter and the fire touched the ten-peso bill. It was amazing! For a few seconds. Because in those few seconds the ten-peso bill wasn't on fire. YET. The fire became a little stronger and the ten-peso bill disappeared. It was gone. Forever. And neither Patrick nor Tr. Tina could ever bring it back. =)) Yes, the ten-peso bill was eaten by fire. =)) Everyone - including Tr. Tina - laughed. So next she asked for a twenty-peso bill. For a long time no one was giving her. We were all traumatized. =)) Luckily Betina gave her twenty-peso bill to Tr. Tina. She dipped it again in the petri dish - longer this time. =)) Then the same procedure earlier. It wasn't burning . . . but then it was burned. :))))) But just halfway. But still it can't be used anymore. Another money wasted by science. XD Just kidding. I'M KIDDING!!! Tr. Tina, if you ever read this, I am kidding! I really like Chemistry! And today was really fun. :)) XD
Then we discussed the scientific method. After that, recess. Michelle and I didn't eat because we practiced with our group for the English quiz. Raphael was my groupmate. Yes. XD We practiced in the Pavia corridor. Our groupmates were really stubborn at first, but I think we did a good job before recess ended. And the next subject was English. I liked our presentation. :D Next was Geom. I did a stupid job in recitation. I stammered. My nose bled. :)) But hooray for the seatwork. Phew!
After eating lunch we had Social Studies, then dismissal. Dad fetched us because I had to put my brackets back. Cause it fell off again the night before. Haha. And then I went home. :P

"Studies develop into habits."
First subject was Filipino. I forgot what we did. Next subject was Geometry. I got plus 5 in the seatwork. Yey! Thanks Michelle. :)) Next subject was CLVE. Then Recess. After recess was English. We discussed Francis Bacon's essay and then Tr. Ching told us that our first quiz (practical quiz) will be a skit about how studies develop into habits. And it will be performed tomorrow. That's so . . . I don't know. Unfair? Because Mornese and Turin got it yesterday, I think, and they'll be performing it tomorrow. :( But I was okay with my groupmates: Jason E., Pambid, Raphael, Xander, Nathan, Timothy, Chelsea and James. Actually James exchanged group with Sean because he wanted to be with his friends. That's good. >:) Even if there are only two of us girls, I think we're going to be okay. With Raphael as our leader. \m/
After that was IT. I thought we were going to watch a movie but we had a conflict with the schedule for the AVR, so we went to the IT Lab and discussed Photoshop instead. It's fun, actually. I like the liquifying part. XD After that was lunch, then Social Studies with Sir Renz. We learned about the continents. Recitation was murder today. I mean literally, it's like everyone's killing each other just to get called by Sir Renz. XD But it was fun. ;) Next was Chemistry. I was nervous because . . . Just because I'm the leader and there's kinda a lot of pressure. Not just kinda, even. *sigh* But I think it's going to be easy if I just erase this nervousness I'm feeling. Haha. Then we (leaders) were called by Tr. Tina for the project-making. Wear PE uniform on Thursday, YES!! :D
And that's my day. Oh, by the way, I joined ECHOES. Technically, not yet, because we have to answer some tests. Wish me luck for that. And I'm sorry I'm not blogging every detail right now, I'm just not in the mood most days. :P
Dang it. Pati ba namana si blah blah blah inaagaw mo na? UGH. Sana mawala ka na. Ayaw kita para kay Joke.

5:31 AM
Well today was fun.
It started out not fun. I forgot my case where I put all my notebooks, my world map and periodic table, my lab gown, and my trigonometry and English book. I was really worried.d Good thing I went to the phone booth with Christine, and I called my dad. After the flag ceremony and homeroom and morning talk (Was there one?) I asked Sir Toby if I could go to the lobby to fetch my case and then I went there. And dad was there. Yes!! So far so good.
[ Oh! By the way, after our flag ceremony . . . we went through the stairs in Turin. Then I looked for my bag. Then I realized that we were still in Mornese. Whew! Two strikes in one week. :)) ]
Trigonometry was our first subject. That was our first Trigo meeting for the week. We learned about the people who contributed to the development of Trigonometry. Then we learned about the Cartesian plane. Not really learned - reviewed. It was fun! XD After Trigo we had Drafting. We just filled out our plate. I missed the lettering guide! XD And then we made the guide lines for the lettering. And Drafting period was finished. After Drafting we had English. We learned all about Francis Bacon. He wrote essays. :D We have an assignment there. Yeah. I almost forgot. :))
Then, Recess!! Oh by the way it's Jan's birthday today!! Jan = Nica. :)) And after recess we had Chemistry so it was very fun. We first had an activity to guess the scientists. I was one of the leaders. Then during recitation time Raphael and Paige recited even if they'll also be the "scientists." At the end of the period Tr. Tina said the leaders who didn't recite will receive two recitation points. Mwahahahahaha! :)))))) And then Geometry. Sir Chet asked which is harder, Geom or Algeb. I said Geom. Yeah. It's so freaking hard!! :)) Maybe it's just the beginning. I hope so. Or maybe I'm pressured. Yeah let's think that instead of me failing. :)) I'm going to study Geometry now. It's more on logic, Sir Chet said. As if I'm not great with that. =)) Kidding. I'm so boastful. I'm not a jerk. Unlike some people. . . .
During lunch, we ate lunch. After that we went upstairs and . . . we saw the yearbook for the sophomores this year!! Oh yeah. Michelle borrowed one and then we looked. We saw Hanna's gay crush, my not-gay-and-really-really-REALLY-hot crush, and my other crush, and Hanna's crush's ex-crush and so many others. :))))) Hanna was so happy with what she saw. We weren't. He's so gay. =))))
Okay, after Lunch was Social Studies. Sir Renz! We learned about the continental drift theory, plate tectonics and seafloor spreading. Our discussions kept wandering from one place to another, and it was fun! :D For our last ten minutes of Social Studies we had free time. Then some of the guys asked why Emilio Aguinaldo shouldn't be a hero. [ Hero . . . Yeah, he shouldn't be . . . Percy Jackson is the greatest hero! XD ] Then he told us why Jose Rizal became our national hero. It was chosen from Andres Bonifacio, Apolinario Mabini and Marcelo H. Del Pilar. The first requirement was that our hero should be calm. So Andres Bonifacio, you're out. :)) And here's the funny part. The second requirement: our hero should have had a dramatic death. Mabini died due to cholera. Sir Renz said, "Pano yun? Nakalagaw sa mga libro, 'Si Apolinario Mabini ang ating pambansang bayani. Namatay siya dahil tae siya ng tae.'" And we all burst into laughter. =)) And then he said his death was a "mabantot na pagkamatay." =)) And about Del Pilar, he said, "Si Del Pilar naman, TB, suka ng suka ng dugo. Si Mabini mabantot, si Del Pilar malansang pagkamatay." :)))) Then he reenacted the scene when Rizal died, when he turned around, and Sir Renz looked up with a funny look on his face. :)) It was really funny! XD And then it was time. Aww!
After that we had our first meeting for GT with Sir Toby. We learned about the sine wave. Oh yeah! I learned the cycle and things like those . . . Yeah, I learned! I thought it was going to be hard. XD After that we had dismissal. Wee! XD
BTW, I don't like Joe anymore! :]

A part of you will always be with me :)
Oh, man. I miss Faenza. I miss coming in to school, stopping in just a few seconds because our room is so near, seeing Rochelle and the other girls talk, just seeing the guys, going to Marignano and talk to KCHAMJDV, get a glimpse of you-know-who, and get a hug from Louise! I miss those. Third year life seems crazy. Second year was fun. There wasn't a lot of pressure. [ Maybe a little, but it's not as critical as this year. :\ ] I miss my classmates. Only ten of us are in Mirabello. I like my classmates of course, but you can't take away the bond that each section had last year. I sooooooo miss Faenza. I miss everything about it. I miss winning. Smug. Haha. Kidding. Good thing we're going to have a reunion this sembreak. Pray pray pray!! Please! Go Team Faenza! :)

Newfound Appreciation
I woke up this morning. Yehey! But I was still sleepy. So I slept some more and woke up thirty minutes later. That's okay because we usually wake up at 4AM now, so getting up at 4:30 in the morning isn't bad. ;) Anyway, I ate my breakfast, but just half of it. It was ham. It really smelled good, but I wasn't in the mood to eat. Too afraid. :( Then I took a bath. Ate Jessica was next. [ She arrived last Sunday night from America and we went to Duty-Free yesterday. Oh yeah. :D ]
And then the service came. It was soooooo crowded! Even more crowded than last week, which is saying a lot, because we have big bags now. And then we got to school. I climbed up the stairs, and then a funny thing happened. So we don't have PE today. And then I got to the second floor and kept walking past the rooms, and I saw Mirabello. Wearing PE uniforms. So I got confused. "Is it Monday today? I'm pretty sure it's Tuesday, and we don't have PE class." Then I looked up at the sign. It said III - Mornese. I was looking at the wrong room. Well that was stupid. I saw that I stopped in the corridor of Mira, fortunately, and put my bag there.
Then we had our flag retreat, and then homeroom. Sir said a morning talk . . . Um, was it a poem? I forgot. :\ I think it was about Earth . . . :)) After that, we had Filipino. We had a group activity. Ours sucked. :( So I won't fill you in with the details. XD Then, Geometry! I recited so that's good. XD We talked about points, and lines, and planes, and . . . you know, those things . . . After that, CLVE. Or CLE. I'm confused now. We had another group activity, with the pictures and stuff. And then, Recess!
After Recess was English. Tr. Ching was nowhere to be found. Michelle and I went downstairs to the faculty room (yeah, that needs some getting used to) to look for her. Tr. Ann said she was absent and we're going to have a substitute. It was Sir Enzo. We played a game. Well, not really, just the few people in front. Then he discussed the four plus one (parang three-in-one plus one lang eh!) macro skills. After that was IT.
Yey! We watched a movie. It's entitled "AntiTrust." Milo looks kinda cute. XD I think I want to have a job like him . . . if it wasn't for nerds. One guy asked him, "You have a three-dimensional girlfriend?" or something like that. :)) Speaking of his girlfriend, I really thought it was cute that she knew he was allergic to . . . that thing he was allergic to. I forgot. But I really thought it was cute! :) And then there's another girl, the "third party" of the relationship. Milo isn't really dating her or two-timing the girls, but his real girlfriend thought he was. So what happened? My answer for you: I don't have an answer for you. It was cut! :( Too bad. But at least we're going to continue it next time. Yey! :D
After that, lunch. We stopped by the gym and saw the Mornese class having their PE class. Hanna, Michelle and I headed to Canteen 1 to eat. Well, they ate; I didn't. I am on a diet. :)))) Naw, I just can't eat yet. I can't eat real food yet. :( So, after lunch we had Social Studies! I was disappointed, because we didn't talk about Greek mythology!!! I was sooooo sad. But the rest of Sir Renz's discussion was very good. :D
And then, Chemistry!
It was very hard. Good night! I'm too lazy! So many work done for the day. Bye! :D

5:51 AM
I will not give up hope that Mira is fun. :D
I was lazy to blog my day yesterday, but now I am in shape! Not totally well, but I'm surviving. :)) So, yesterday, I arrived in school and saw my friends, and then we talked, and then we went to the gym. They announced the faculty members. Tr. Perry introduced the coordinators who introduced the teachers. Tr. Perry forgot the coordinator for IT and GT and Drafting. HAHAHAHA! We were laughing and laughing there. XP
After that we went back to our classrooms. We went to the front of the second floor of the chapel to practice dancing "Youth Serving Youth." We were divided with a leader. I wanted Abby to be our leader. She wasn't. Timothy was. We went to the farthest side of the corridor of the labs and "practiced." He forgot the dance steps. Hahaha! Tsk tsk Timoy. :)) Then we asked Jamsy to help us, and then Alyssa. Then we haven't done the second stanza and we were called back to the teachers.
We saw the Turin and Mornese girls dancing, at the same time! I felt so . . . isolated. :))) After that they went to the corridor of our classrooms, I think. So that was good, because at least they wouldn't get to see when it was our turn to dance. >:) And then it was our turn to dance. We danced with the Mira boys. And then we all sat down, except for some of the Mira boys who weren't dancing at first. Then everybody danced, and then us Mira girls went to the Turin and Mornese girls, and then Margie taught us the rest of the steps, but we didn't have energy anymore. Wahahaha!
Then we went back to our classrooms. We had a few minutes left. Okay, thirty minutes left. Patrick I. went to Sir Toby so I had no seatmate. Haha! Michelle borrowed my borrowed Last Olympian. And then it was boring. So I went to Patrick I.'s seat so Nica was next to me. Then we called Hanna and she sat at my seat. But then Sir Toby told us to go back to our seats. :( So I just played with the ballpen until it was Recess time.
Recess was . . . I didn't finish my food because of what Hanna was saying. :)) But it wasn't entirely Hanna's fault. I have a problem. I'm not as hungry as I was before. Maybe it's my teeth. They suddenly had a mind of their own when I got my brackets. Nooooooooooooo!
After Recess, we waited for Lunch. I mean literally. We did nothing but wait. Patrick I. went to Sir Toby again, and I tried to sneak into his seat to talk with Nica. That didn't work out because he told us to sit on our proper seats. So it was boring. I was playing with my pen again, but I couldn't do that forever. And then I turned back to Pambid and Raphael who were talking. And then Pambid was called by his friends and Raphael and I started talking and then he started telling some trivia or jokes and Pambid too. And Nica and Michelle and Patrick M. also joined us, and Karlsen too. [ I prefer calling him "Karlsen" than "Jay." ] And suddenly we were laughing. Wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo! Now that's fun.
Time flew so fast! It felt like only minutes that we were talking, and then it was lunch time already. If I weren't talking to them, I might have died of boredom there, so thank you guys! Lunch time . . . It was great. :)) And then we went to our corridors, and we headed to the gym. It was by section at first, and then by color. Wee! Michelle and Jonina were with me, and Nica too, and I'm so glad I wasn't alone. Then our fellow Juniors guided us with the dance, but really they were the only ones dancing. We danced in our minds when that was finished and we went our assigned posts.
The first one, we played a game called "Crossing the River" I think. I forgot, but it had something to do with the river. The mats were the "river" and we weren't allowed to step on anything but those. There were four or five groups, and each group had a lot of members, so we were like sardines there. Haha! But we won! \m/ :D
After that we went to the High School lobby. We were formed in different groups again. In the game, we asked, "I love you, do you love me?" I hadn't thought about it that time, but right now, I really wanted I-know-who to be on the white team to ask that. Haha that would be the best. :)) After that we went to the chapel. We watched a father and a son who are really an inspiration of love. Wee!
Then we went to the AVR . . . of the Cimatti Dome. Oh yeah! We had to wait, and then when we got inside, it was hot! No aircon. :( There was, but I think Tr. Jho said it ran out or something? That was weird . . . Haha! Anyways, it wasn't like the AVR in the High School building. Then our first activity was about the shape of your face. Mine was round but I didn't stand up there. They said people with round face tend to be sensitive and emotional and look for long-term relationships. Oh yeah, that is very much like me. Then the one about how you sleep. Haha! Sir Chet told us that when we were in Faenza so we knew that already. :P
And then we went to the gym with the hula hoop thingy. Some of my groupmates ate a banana. And then me and Michelle and Jonina and Nica blew the plastic cups, then Dianne and Isabel jumped the rope. :)) After that we went to the side of Canteen 1 and we played sack race at first. And I looked stupid. Then tug-of-war with the volleyball girls. They were our enemies that time. And we lost. Well, duh! :))
After that we went back to the gym, and the red team was there. We were the only teams there. Hahaha! We prayed and gave our bookmark to our "newly found friends" (Giselle and Chloe, our servicemates) and went to our classrooms. Then, home! But I wasn't in a very good mood.
Oh, and I forgot to return the Last Olympian. Dammit.

Friends
I just changed my song! Haha! I just wanted to tell you. :)) It's the theme song of FRIENDS! :D I love that show. It's so funny. And I got inspired last night because the PBB housemates sang it in their Big Goal Concert. XD
Something's wrong with my last blog. I said Sir Allan left the school. He didn't. SORRY! I thought . . . :P He's still here but he's only teaching the Seniors CLVE. I guess we just have to wait another year for him. Haha.
Things to do for today: study, study, watch America's Next Top Model, study, study, study, study, watch PBB (maybe). But I don't really know if I can concentrate on studying today (let me just tell you that I really want to). I have something else to do. Something I was supposed to do last night but it was "postponed" so . . . Yeah.
I hope Tuesday will be great. I'm excited to use my bag too. HAHA.
I'll be there for you when the rain starts to pour
I'll be there for you like I've been there before
I'll be there for you cause you're there for me too
No one could ever know me, no one could ever see me
Seems you're the only one who knows what it's like to be me
Someone to face the day with
Make it through all the rest with
Someone I'll always laugh with
Even at my worst I'm best with you

Orientation
I woke up this morning in a . . . I-don't-know-how-to-describe-it mood. I feel excited yet afraid, but for two different reasons. :P Anyways, we woke up early today, unlike yesterday, we woke up at 5am, and we only had about 30 minutes to prepare. [ By the way, sorry I didn't blog yesterday. I was too tired and had other things to do. ] Today we had a whole hour before the service came.
When I got to school, Christine was there. We talked and then Jonina came, and then Vielka and Michelle and Hanna. And then we all went to our line and went to the corridor of the labs to wait for the flag ceremony. After that we went back to our classroom and had our prayer, and Sir Toby gave us the schedule for our subject orientation today. First subject: Drafting.
Tr. Benny was our teacher again. She tried to recall our names. Then she said she missed Chico. HAHAHA! :))) We don't. =)) Then she told us what we're going to study for the whole year. Calligraphy!! Wow. I'm excited but nervous for that. We're going to use the thing called speedball pen. Last year dad asked me if we were using that, I said no. Now we are. Maybe I can have him help me! Hooray for my dad being an architect. XD
Next subject: CLVE. Yesterday we thought Sir Allan was our teacher, but it turns out he left the school, so Sir Carlos is our teacher. He showed us pictures of Bohol. :)) We saw a tarsier, and chocolate hills, and the hanging bridge, and Bohol Beach Club. Haven't gone to BBC yet. I hope we'll stay there when we get back to Bohol. I miss Bohol. :D
Next subject: Chemistry. I was very scared when Tr. Tina walked into the room. But all of that changed in a minute! I forgot how, but she really made all of us laugh. She said some teachers have been mentioning Carlo and Stephan to her. :)) And then she said we should familiarize ourselves with the periodic table of elements already. How? Oh, I love this part. XDXDXD She said we should think of our crush - I kept smiling once I heard that :)) - and then look at the periodic table, so we should be inspired. That is very true. Inspiration is a great thing. :D Then, she said, after we look at the table, we should pray, so that God will guide us. I will never ever forget that! I love that technique. :D
Next in line is Geometry. Sir Chet! Yey! He's still with us. :D It's still pretty much the same with him, plus five points for the first three students who finish the seatwork, and the seatworks and quizzes and quarterly tests are all interconnected. The recitation grading changed. For each recitation chit, there is an equivalent grade. 100% is equal to 7 chits. Oh yeah. 7. XD :)) Then the fourth quarter is the same as last year, but we have a journal now. I guess that's a good thing so the teachers know how we feel. :D
Next to Geometry was Trigonometry. We have a new teacher, Tr. Oyette. Sir Noel Juan isn't our teacher. I thought he'd be but he isn't. Hahaha. :P Tr. Oyette gave us two of the topics we'll be discussing. They're all about angles and triangles and those kind of stuff . . . I have to prepare myself for Math again! :)) We also have the compilation of quizzes, and a journal for our reflections. Whew! Then, Recess!
We talked about Aivette and Klariza again. :) It's Aivette's first day in St. Scho! ;) Aivette, talk to me, too! :)) Also Christine, Vielka and Jonina told us that our English teacher will still be Tr. Ching. And it's just us Mirabello. For Mornese and Turin it'll be the new English teacher, Tr. Enzo. Woo we're unique, yey . . . :)) By the way our subject after Recess was English.
Tr. Ching, um, my first impression of her? Since it's our first time we met her and we're so lucky . . . :)) Her requirements are the same as last year. :P Hmm, maybe this will be an advantage. During the contests, Tr. Ching will help only us! Hahaha!! =)) Just kidding. =))
Up next is Social Studies! Our teacher is Sir Renz. I was very very very fascinated by him. He talked about Noynoy running for president, Marcos being a good guy, Cory not actually winning the elections against Marcos. Golly, he knows a lot of stuff! :)) Seriously. I was so into his discussions that I kept nodding and my mouth was hanging as my brain gathered the information he was giving us. There were so many things we didn't know! And his voice will really draw you into what he's saying. WOW!! That's all I can say about him. He seems nice, too. After that, I got really excited for our Social Studies session on Tuesday. And trust me, this is the first time I ever said that. :))
Then Tr. Mirose (that's pronounced as "my rose"), our Filipino teacher, walked in the room. She said she was also our co-adviser. Cool! Again, during contests, she will help only us! >:))) Kidding again. :)))) We will be discussing Noli Me Tangere, and she said the continuation of that is the El Filibusterismo, so we really have to understand the story. Then she said for our fourth quarter project we might have a stage play. Oh, wicked cool! :D:D I wanna be a director! :)) I hope that'll push through! And that's it for Filipino. And then, lunch! :D
We ate at Canteen 1. I didn't eat. The Mornese peeps (Jonina, Vielka and Christine) were coloring their tigers for Chemistry. After that, Christine and Jonina went upstairs while Michelle, Hanna, Vielka and I walked through the first floor corridor. We saw Sir Leo (at least I think that's Sir Leo) but at first we thought he was Sir Jhun. Haha! I'm gonna miss Sir Jhun.
Then Tr. Anna went to us to discuss Music. She said there will be a CDBS Chorale, and it'll be an institution I think, so that everyone from any club can join. That's pretty much the only thing I remembered that she said. XD Oh, she said we'll be discussing Japanese music again this year. I think. I don't know. I was too busy playing with my pen. . . .
After that Sir Toby came to us to discuss GT. Okay, so first quarter is all about electronics, and our project for that will be a night switch. It automatically switches on at night and off during the day. Cool! Then for the second quarter it's all about art. Great. Second quarter strikes again. It's my weakest quarter, and it proves to be again. :)) Our project? Oil on canvas, I think? What am I going to paint? My crush? HAHAHA! :)) Then Sir Toby said once we make a mistake on the canvas, we have to start all over again, or put another color in it, but then it'll look messy. So we have to be careful! X_X Then third quarter is culinary arts. Yes!! We'll bake some cookies! I've honestly never tried baking before, so this'll be my first time. :D Then for the fourth quarter it's about business management, and sir said we'll make a baby thesis. No, not again! :)) And then he said he's proud because we have "veterans" for every sport or competition, and because the other teachers said we're a very good section, and he feels that we're the most organized (?) section. He's biased, of course, but I'm gonna take it. :))))
Then, Tr. Ann, our teacher for PE and Health. I was scared for her, too. But I think she's really nice. And she's proud every time she learns that her student becomes a successful person, and she feels good when her student looks for her after she graduates. Then she said she was strict when she needs to be but she's a friendly person. Whew, I'm excited and nervous for PE too! And she's strict on ponytails! Haha!
And last but not the least is Sir Andy for IT. It kind of felt weird because I was used to him being our GT teacher. Haha. Anyway, we're all about Photoshop and those kind of stuff. He said we're going to enjoy the animations, so I'm excited for that. :D And he said that after we graduate, the Sophomores will be taught photo editing. Nooooooooooooooooo! We want to learn that too. T____T And then he said Mira and Mornese will have Japanese students, I think. They're exchange students. That is so cool. x) I'm excited for that!
Then, dismissal! YEY! :D:D:D:D And that's it for my school day.
Season finale of Glee today, by the way. I love their songs. Go Sue! :D

2:15 AM
First day of school!
Today was our first day. We woke up really early today, as in four in the morning. And what time did I sleep the night before? 2AM. I only had two hours of sleep. I couldn't sleep even though it was already lights out for us at around nine-thirty in the evening. I guess I was too excited - or maybe nervous - for the coming day and the whole school year ahead.
But we woke up to the soothing sound of our loud alarm clock. And then I slept some more for just a few minutes and then I went to the dining room while Danielle went to the bathroom. I ate cereal and brushed my teeth and showered when Danielle was done. After that we were doing nothing, just waiting for the service. I was singing. XD And then our service came. We were the first to come inside.
Our service had a new look! :))) Okay, the tint in the windows just got darker and the rails were removed. More space! :D Then we learned that we have a new servicemate: Chloe! She was in Hanna's service before, then she transferred to us. She's Giselle's friend. Then we picked up Juliana. We saw Anya. And she looked even thinner than the last time I saw her. Haha! Then we picked up the rest and went to school. [ Almost all of us are in High School. Wow! ]
I walked upstairs and found Marignano in Mirabello's room, and Valsalice in Turin's room. In Mornese's room I found Mirabello. [ Sorry if I'm confusing you. :)) ] Vielka was in Mornese, which was in Pavia's room, which was beside Mirabello. And Turin . . . I'm sorry, I don't know that section. XD Kidding. It was in Monferrato's room, which means they're the only section there in the lower part. Haha! XD I thought Turin was the middle section, but no. They were so far away. :))
I saw Marnie in Turin! Haha! And then Vielka and I were in Mirabello. We saw Micah and Ate Battery, and I gave my gift to Micah. I also gave my gift to Vielka. :D Then Christine came. We were talking, and then the Seniors came and said we have to line up and go to the gym. I was scared because Michelle and Hanna weren't there yet, and there were only a few girls in Mira that time. :)) Jonina passed by. Nooooo! I think it's gonna take some time for me to get used to the fact that she's not my classmate anymore. :))
There were only five Mira girls, and we started making our way to the gym. When we were downstairs, I saw Michelle. Yey! And Meg was there, and we almost accompanied her back upstairs but we all decided not to go back and we went to our sections.
We were lost. :)) We thought Tr. Pia was our adviser, but when she came in the gym, she only passed by us and didn't look twice. Sir Andy and Tr. Tina were there with us Juniors, but Tr. Tina was with Mornese, and Sir Andy was with Turin. Hanna was late. Haha! XP And then, we saw that a new guy was with us. Which means: We have a new teacher for an adviser!! Cool. :D But then my impression of him was that he was strict. Nooooooo! :)) And then we went back to our room.
Our sitting arrangement for the day was by height and girls first. The tallest ones were in front. Haha! That was cool. x) Michelle and Jovielle were my temporary seatmates. Then our adviser asked us if we know the morning prayer, then he asked Astrid to lead but she didn't memorize the prayer, so we just prayed "Our Father." :D Then he introduced himself. His name was Paulo Tubillo. He asked us whether we want to call him Sir Paulo or Sir Toby. We chose Sir Toby. XD And then we all introduced ourselves - again - and told him our expectations. We learned that the new student is a foreigner, Norwegian. Nice. :D And then I think Joseph was the one who said he expects a higher conduct grade, and then we all laughed. XD And then Cati was the next, and he said he expects the class to be more fun and wild or something like that. We laughed too. :))
And then, it was Blanky's turn. I wasn't really paying attention, but it was hard not to since his voice was booming around the room. And then he said, "I expects," and we immediately laughed. =)) After that . . . we discussed a few more things about the school. Then we answered a sheet of paper that asked a few information about us. In the favorite book part, I wrote: "PERCY JACKSON SERIES" \m/ XD Then it was Recess time. And we were in a line. I mean, "Whaaaaat?"
Then we ate. :)) Hanna gave me her gift, which was so delayed. :)) [ Thank you, Hanna! XD ] We talked about what might have happened to Klariza. She wasn't contacting us. We haven't heard from her. We don't know where she is, and she isn't in one of the sections. Tsk. :(
After eating, we went to the comfort room . . . of the second floor! Yeah!! :)) Then I gave my gift to Abby. :D She guessed it: a ballpen with a heart. :)) She asked if it was one of those lighting pens, but unfortunately, it wasn't. :)) We went out the CR and rushed to our sections, because they were already in a line. Luckily, we weren't late. Phew!
We came in our room, and we saw that Carlo, Stephan and Joseph were late. Tsk tsk tsk. They are very nice role models for our class. :)) :P After that Sir Toby went on with discussing stuff about school. And then we saw Mornese outside playing some kind of game. They were laughing and singing and blah blah blah, and it was like they were mocking us. We were so quiet and they were having fun. :)) After a while, the noises stopped and they were back in their classroom.
And Sir Toby was still discussing. :)) Then he said we only had ten minutes left and most of us couldn't help but say, "YES!!!!" :)) So we prayed and went outside - in a line again. What's up with the line? We weren't like this last year. Haha! :P But we were the first section in 3rd Year to get out. XD Turin was the next one, and Meg gave me The Last Olympian. Woooooooooo!! It was hardbound, and it was like a bible. XD Then the Mornese peeps came out and we all headed downstairs.
We saw Benjie, by the way. He was tall, and whiter, and had hair. I was seriously excited to see that last part. XD I was really shocked to see him! It was like he was a different kind of guy, and yet when I saw him I felt like I was in Grade 6. So young, so innocent. :)) Anyway, we were all walking and we were excited to see Aivette. :) Vielka left us early because her parents were there. Aww. We walked until we arrived at the outside of the High School lobby. We were still looking for Aivette. "Where's Aivette/Tissue/Tish????"
And she came out of the lobby. \m/ She and Hanna hugged so hard. :)) And then Aivette was screaming so loud that a guy shushed us. :)) Then Aivette cried. :( Tsk Aivette! Why did you have to transfer schools?! [-( Hahaha. :P Then she said she saw Klariza's brother (we weren't sure which one) in CDBS, though she didn't get a chance to talk to him. Then her mom and sisters came and we had to say goodbye to her. :( We hugged her before she left. T__T
Christine left us, and then we walked to the parking lot, and Hanna also went to her service. Our service wasn't there yet, so we went back to the lobby. We saw Vielka. She didn't get to see Aivette. Aww. :( And then I turned, and I saw . . . Jenna! \m/\m/\m/ :))) Seriously, you should have seen my reaction when I saw her. She was a celebrity to me. :)) Then I saw the color of her braces. Noooooooooo! I asked her why she chose that color, and then she said, "Hello Kitty!" =)))
We left them and Jonina went to her service. Then Michelle and I went back to the lobby. Meg and Jenna were still there. Jenna was bored. I know because she kept saying that. :)) XD Michelle was with Irish who was looking for some uniforms. Then Meg and I talked, and then Michelle came, and the three of us talked. [ Jenna wanted a phone. Meg told me she has a Hello Kitty phone. :)) Jenna said she wanted a real phone because her friend has two cell phones. Meg told her to get one of those to phones. :)) ]
Then Meg said there will be an ODEA this year! \m/ I am determined to be one of the participants. \m/ Please let me! :)) Then we talked about being an officer and SLA. We really hope that (a) we'd all be officers and (b) there will be an SLA again this year, in another school. That would be fun. :D And then I asked Meg about something sshh . . . :)) And then she told me that Abby told her something about me that made me feel really GOOD. It really made my day. Week, even. Haha! :P
And then Meg and Jenna left. Kuya Jorge still wasn't there. More and more people were leaving the school, and it was getting late. Fortunately, Percy was with Michelle and me so time didn't seem so slow. :)))) Then finally Kuya Jorge came. \m/ We stopped at McDo. I only bought a float because I still couldn't chew. :)) When Kuya Jorge came back, it started to rain! And The Last Olympian wasn't inside my bag and there was no more space. I put it in Giselle's bag. Phew! XD No way will I let even one drop of water get near it. :))
Then the rain was getting louder and louder. And then Ron shared us some jokes he learned while he was reviewing at the Brain Train. Then he also shared awesome facts. They were so cool! Though I think I would forget that. Let's hope not. :))
For a blog about just one day in school - and it was a half day schedule - this one's pretty long. XD

One more day 'til school.
I'm excited. :) But only because I'm gonna see my friends again. :P I can't wait for that. But I don't wanna learn yet. :)) But I'm excited to do the projects. I mean, if they're great projects, like making a music video or shooting or a book report or something . . . I would never ask for anything more if those things would really happen. x)
And my next blog will really be about school now!

Advice from my role MODEL
"Beauty isn't really important. Confidence is." - Raina Hein
What? I love her. :)) And she really is a model to everyone. She's an inspiration! When she was still a young girl, she was insecure, and she stepped out of her shell during her Senior year in High School. And now she's a confident, strong woman! Applause for Raina! XD
And for this school year I really wanna boost my confidence. I don't want to let what anybody thinks bring me down, and I'm going to take direction well. I shouldn't feel depressed by what anyone says because what matters the most is what I think of myself. I will no longer hide in a shell, I will rule the school year. And everyone will bow down to my power and I will rule the world!
HAHA! But seriously I will try to make a difference this year. I will keep my head up high. Taas noo! :D

It's a beautiful day!
It truly is a beautiful day! :D Okay, when I woke up, it felt like a rain had just passed. Not really what I was used to wake up to. :)) And I started doing the labels for my books and notebooks for this year on MS Word, and when I finished making them, I realized that we have no ink. Yeah. But that's okay, it's not like I worked real hard for it. XD But I was excited for the font because I downloaded it and it's a Disney font. Haha! Shallow me. :D
But here's what made this day already better. :D
I just borrowed the fifth book in the Percy Jackson series: The Last Olympian. Yes! Yes! YES!!!! Remember I told you in one of my past blogs that the paperback book of the Last Olympian will be released in 6 months? It's true. :)) I'm reading the hardbound one. [ I'm still gonna buy the paperback, for my collection. :D ]
I'm really, really, really excited! I think it'll be given to me on the first day of school. COOL! At least one more thing to be excited about. Go first day of school! XD
I am very excited to find out what will happen to Percy and Annabeth. :D Oh, and the prophecy too. XD [ Rachel Elizabeth Dare, you are out of the picture. Oh yeah!! >:) ] I'm gonna read book 4 again right now because only a few more days and it's book 5! \m/ I won't have to feel depressed for 6 months hating Rachel Elizabeth Dare for flirting with Percy. :))))
I am gonna go now. I just wanna share what happened. And now, I am off to Camp Half-Blood! :D
By the way! Klariza was online today! Yeah! But only for a few seconds! Tsk.
