Adventures!

I bought Percy Jackson & the Olympians: The Lightning Thief last Wednesday, right? At ATC when I was with my friends.

And now I can't stop. XD I got addicted to it! I finished it on Thursday. Then we were stuck at home on Friday. I planned to buy the next two books of the series on Saturday when I go to ATC with my family.

I didn't buy the two books. Because I bought the next three. :))) I'm an addict! I knew I'd be able to finish the two books before the next weekend and I'd have nothing to do by then. I am now currently on the fourth book, The Battle of the Labyrinth. Ooooo! It's Percy and Annabeth! They are so cute. XD I really like their "love story!" :D

The last book (am I right?) is The Last Olympian. When I searched in the computer thingy when we went to National Book Store, it was twice or thrice the price (haha it rhymes :D) of the first four books. Dammit. I was out of money. Which means I have to save to buy that. And I only get "paid" during the school year. So I had to wait to read more of Percy's adventures!

During the afternoon I learned that only the hardbound copies of the book are currently being sold. No paperback?! T_T Well, at least no paperback yet. But then the paperback copies will be sold . . . in six months! How am I supposed to wait for that? November? Noooooooooooooooo! I want to buy them already. I guess I could buy the hardbound one, but it would be different from the other Percy adventures. But I really, really want to find out what will happen to Percy when he turns sixteen. Is the prophecy about him? Will the fate of the Olympians (and possibly ours) depend on him? Will he be defeated by Kronos with his fatal flaw? And the most important question of all . . . What will happen to him and Annabeth? [I haven't finished book 4 yet so I don't know what's the latest "update" of their relationship. :))] I could go on and on with these questions, but for the sake of the non-Percy fans, I'll stop.

Never mind my question about the fate of the Olympians and our fate. Of course it's not real. [I wish it was real. I want to be like Annabeth. =))] But in the book it is. I think. Hm. I don't know . . . I'm so addicted to it now. I never thought I'd be, but here I am now. Going on and on about Greek mythology and Percy's adventures. Haha. How can you not? It opened up my imagination. And I've loved Greek mythology ever since I knew about it. Plus it kept me un-bored this summer. I'm laying off on the computer now because of Percy. Wee! :D

How I wish I could buy The Last Olympian already!

I call it Sophistication Part 2 :))

I woke up to the really loud sound of the alarm clock this Wednesday. We forgot to take our 1x1 picture before so we had to rush. Good thing there was one in Sta. Rosa. Then we arrived at school. I saw Jonina and Michelle. Michelle was really tall! I thought she was taller than me, but that ended when I looked down I saw she wore heels. A wave of relief passed by me. =)) I grew! Only half an inch, but that's fine by me. XD Then we proceeded with the enrollment. Thalia came and gave me the gifts. Then we picked up our books and went to the fitting of uniforms. Regina was there and told me that our Math books were MSA! And I saw them. Wow! Harder math this time. Coooooooooooooooooooooooooool. I hope I can still understand and do my best. :)) The Chemistry book was also thick. And AP is not anymore AP, it's Social Studies! \m/ After fitting, dad went in line to pay for the uniforms, then Danielle and I put our books back at the car. We went back to the building.

I went to CHAMJDV. We waited for Michelle's dad so we can convince him to let Michelle and Irish come with us. And . . . yes! She's allowed! That was very cool because it was last minute. :)) Too bad Danielle didn't go! We thought they weren't coming. Aww. Haha. :)) Then we went to Vielka's van. [Was it a van? I don't know. I'm not good with cars. :))] We were in the middle, me, Vielka, Irish and Ate Alayne, and the others were in the back. We were talking and talking and we finally reached ATC. Weeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

We went to the movies first. Didn't watch yet, though. Vielka just bought the tickets so we can have seats for the movie we were going to watch, which is The Last Song, a novel by Nicholas Sparks, starring Miley Cyrus and Liam Hensworth. Then we were hungry. [Actually, I think we were hungry even before that. :)))] We decided to eat at KFC. At first we were supposed to by our own lunch, but Vielka bought the bucket and we brought them to our table. Then we ate. That was one good lunch. Thank you Vielka! x)

I forgot what we did next. :-? :)) Oh! We went to National Book Store! I bought The Lightning Thief! Because I was getting sick of Nicholas Sparks's love stories. :))) So there. And Vielka bought Hush Hush. She was also supposed to buy Shadowland, but unfortunately it wasn't sold there. We also looked at some of the books. Haha. Where did we go next? I think to Powerbooks. We looked at the gift thingies. XD I saw one (I won't tell you what, it might spoil the fun) that I planned to give Klariza cause she wasn't there. Haha. Vielka bought Shadowland there. We hung out for a while and watched the silent (because I think the volume was really low) trailer of The Last Song, then headed out to Starbucks.

We bought our drinks, then we rested there for like an hour. After a while, we were quiet. Vielka and I read our newly bought books. Christine and Hanna were listening to music, Jonina was texting (ehem ehem), Michelle was waiting for load I think, and Irish and Aivette were writing something. :-/ Then we went outside to go to the movies. But first, we went to some shops. Yeah. I forgot their names. XD We went shopping . . . Window shopping, that is. :)) Then we headed to the movies! :D

Well, we went to the CR first. :)) Then finally we went to the theater. The trailers were showing. Some of us bought food, then got settled to watch the movie. And finally, there. Whew! The movie was okay. Miley and Liam kissed a million times. But they cried during the part where . . . Nah, I'm not gonna spoil you. You're just gonna have to watch it [or read the book] to find out. :)) I didn't cry because I knew what was going to happen. XD After that, we went back to the CR and headed outside the theater. We saw Hanna's mom. She talked to her for a while then rejoined us, then we went to Dairy Queen.

We were eating and talking, then Aivette dropped from her seat! That was shocking. I think she got traumatized by that. :)) After that, we went for the window shopping extravaganza. :)) We went to a lot of stores! That was really long. Then we went to the food court (but just in the CR, really). Then went to Hanna's mom and said goodbye to her. We weren't hungry so we decided to go home. Well, we waited for Christine's mom and then said goodbye to her too in Powerbooks. I continued reading about Percy Jackson while waiting for Vielka's parents. Oh, I also bought a really cool bookmark. It's kind of like not a bookmark, but it is. It's hard to explain . . . Oh, there comes Vielka's family! :))

So we rode again at their van to get home. We dropped Aivette at her house after several minutes of waiting at Bel-Air McDo. Then we were off to Walter. Michelle and Jonina left, I was the last one. And so I went home. Wee. :))

So that's it. I finally blogged it. Sorry for the delay, I was too busy reading Percy Jackson. :D

Beach x)

I'm sorry, I've been putting off this blog for the last week. I was too lazy. But now I'm ready to blog this. :D

Last Saturday, we woke up early because we were going to Batangas to swim. I was the earliest to wake up. Wanna know what time? 1am. Haha. Yeah. I wanted to sleep some more but somehow I wasn't able to. So I played with my phone until about 4am. I turned on the lights (because I was scared) and the TV and watched a few shows. Then Dad opened the door and asked if I was hungry. Yes, I was very hungry that time. Then my sister woke up too. We ate the instant noodles then waited for mom and Ate Jessica to wake up.

So we were all awake. We were about to go, I think, then Ate Jessica pointed to a bottle of sunblock and asked if we had that. Mom couldn't find it in her and dad's room. Then we were all freaking out and about to not go just because we couldn't find the freaking sunblock. :)) We searched all the bags but we still couldn't find it. Then I saw it! In my sister's pink (ew) bag. So we all went in the car and started our way to Batangas. x)

I updated my Twitter via my phone. Then I slept. And then woke up and felt dizzy. Then slept again. I think we almost got lost. :)) I slept and slept and we finally arrived at Virgin Beach Resort. Mom went to the office, and then dad parked the car. Mom ordered lunch for us. Yummy! :D:D After lunch, we went to the comfort room. I changed my shorts then we went to our . . . I don't know if it could be called a cottage, but it's kinda like that. We put on the sunblock and finally went for the waters! \m/ But it was only me, Danielle and Ate Jessica. Haha.

We swam and swam. x) Then Ate Jessica picked up some rocks by the shore and threw it. I mean tried skipping rocks. One time while we were in there she skipped a lot of rocks! Nice. \m/ Dad joined us for a while, then went back to mom. Then after two hours we went back to our "cottage" and rested there for a while. After only a few minutes we went back to the water. \m/ :)) By the way, Ate Jessica saw a fish! O_O Haha!

Mom joined us in the water. We saw the fish again. And then we saw a jellyfish too! We got scared because it might shock us. We went away from that then rested on the shore with mom. She went out, and after a few more minutes, the three of us went out too. We hit the showers then ate some food for merienda. Wee! But the service was kinda slow even though we were the only customers at the time. (annoyed) Plus the price was . . . well, very pricey. Hahahahaha.

After that, we finally took off. I slept. Again. :D But with Ate Jessica and Danielle too. When I woke up the three were asleep, and it was dark. X_X I went back to sleep, then I woke up again. All of us were awake already. It was hot. The windows were open. And it was traffic. Then I found out that we were almost out of gas. And it was traffic. That one took our time. 8-| Dammit. Mom walked to the nearest gas station which was far. It was supposed to be near but because of the damn traffic, the trip there was a long time. After several minutes we finally had gas. Wee! But it was still traffic. ~x(

We kept seeing signs that the exit to Calamba was near but it really wasn't. Dammit. [-( It was still traffic . . . But finally, we were at the highway! I think. :)) Or expressway. Hmm, I'm not sure, really. :)) Then we stopped at the Total Gas Station. I think that's what it was. Jollibee was the only open restaurant or fast food chain - whatever :)) - because it was the only one open 24 hours and it was past 11pm. There were a lot of people, we had to wait about thirty minutes for the food. Then my mom accidentally ordered Coke Zero which I had come to hate after loving it so much. Ugh. :-&

And my short was short, just like the one I wore during the field trip. Man. It was probably shorter than that. X_X It was very cold and my legs were sore.

Then we went home. Haha. Yey!

The laziness back. :)) Sorry!

First Time XD

So one night, I woke up at midnight. Haha. I couldn't sleep. I played with my phone and went to the notes and made one about my new experiences during my Sophomore year. See, I really like to look back. :D

June

1. It's the first time I had an adviser who is young and looks like a celebrity. Applause! :))

July

2. Our sitting arrangement for the whole first quarter: choose your own!! I had Jonina and Vielka for my seatmates. That was great. :D

August

3. The first time we had a field trip in that kind of stupid, ugly, crappy place. I hated it there, but nonetheless, it's a new experience.

September

4. I was confirmed, a once in a lifetime experience. I am a mature teenager now! :D

5. It was the first time I stayed overnight in another school, in DB Canlubang. I also saw a childhood friend! I'll never forget that overnight stay. :]

6. The first time an overnight in school was finished earlier than scheduled because of a typhoon. If we stayed there until afternoon, we could have been stranded! Haha.

October

7. The first time we didn't have a semestral break! Stupid swine flu. (annoyed) Haha.

8. The first KCHAMJDV Day! That's the first time I was allowed to go to a friend's house and swim there with a bunch of friends. \m/ Wee! :D

November

9. That was my first and probably last time to participate in a Readers' Theater contest. Haha. :)) And I only had one line. XD

December

10. I submitted my Drafting project which I worked oh-so-hard on. And why is it a big deal? Because it's the first time I worked hard for a project. Any project. Ever. In my entire life. :))

11. My first time to sing in front a [big] audience with my classmates! Embarrassing, actually. XD

12. That was also my first time to "ditch" my service during the Christmas Party because we were going to a friend's house. \m/ Woo! XD

13. It was the first time I read a Nicholas Sparks novel. The novel was Dear John. I got so hooked that I started to read every Sparks novel there is. :))

January

14. My first totally redeeming card distribution day moment XD I love my individual grades because most of them increased, which means my average increased. Yey! :D

15. My first time to participate in the Sports Fest. Sure, I played soccer for Valdocco and cheered for the Savio boys, but I really felt it this time. I loved playing soccer with the Faenza girls and cheering during the games. Win or lose, it's okay. But of course it's better if we won. =)))

16. I was marriage booth-ed for the first time. But we got divorced before we were even married. (How is that possible?) Haha. XP

February

17. The first time I SuperUnli-ed :)) XD I made a lot of conference calls. And it was the first time I talked to Jenna! (on the phone) What did we talk about? Secret >:))))

18. It was the first time I wore a working outfit. Ever. With the blouse and the blazer and skirt and the heels! Oh, the heels! T_T My feet were sore that day and the day after that. :'( But it was fun because I got to experience being a teacher. I had two hours of free time! XD

19. First time the class - my class at least - united (not that we're not united all the time, we are united all the time XD) to make a gratitude day present. We had shooting! XD Memorable activity. Haha.

March

20. First time to be cramped in the CDBS official service :))) We were at Lakeshore that day. Oh, we found out who were included in the Top 7! I was the last T_T Haha. Anyway, we saw some of our old classmates! :D

21. That was the very first time I stayed up until about midnight to make the projects. I was so relieved when that was over. And I so don't wanna go back there again. Haha!

22. During the NAT I stepped for the very first time inside the Japanese room in my High School life so far. Stayed there the whole day, actually. Ah, the aircon coldness XD

23. That was also the day - the first and only day - that I had beautiful hair. That moment lasted for two minutes.

24. My first apostolate! It was in Elsie Gatches. It was unforgettable. :]

25. Another unforgettable day was our last day with Faenza. :'( With the food fight and everything :)) We made a mess, and cleaned it up ourselves - all of us! :D

26. It was the first time I went to Nuvali . . . with my friends. XD Total laugh trip! Sophistication! =))

Wow. 26 is such a lucky number for my second year in High School. :D

What I'm gonna miss this summer

It's May already!! One more month (and I think about a week) and school starts all over again. I don't think I want summer to end yet. Haha. It's my break from the stressing sophomore year. Yes, it was very fun, but I want an end to all those mind-numbing lessons and sleep-depriving projects. I don't know if two months is enough. XD I don't wanna go back to repeating those all over again - actually they're all harder this time because we're up one level. :(

I'm gonna miss sleeping whenever I want and waking up whenever I want. Watching all the television shows we couldn't watch before because they were way past our bed time (like Sonny With A Chance), eating chips at midnight, waking up and going back to sleep because we don't have anywhere to go. Waa. I am so gonna miss these things when summer ends. I don't miss school life at all! :)) I just miss my friends and classmates . . . That's it. But the lessons and especially the projects?

No way. Haha. I don't miss 'em.

Siobhan Magnus is out from AI :( Total conspiracy x(

I can't believe Siobhan is really out from American Idol. Yeah, she's not in the running anymore. It's so sad. What angers me is that hers was one of the two best performances last night. The other one was the other one in the bottom two actually. It just goes to show that some - most people are very stupid. Why didn't they enjoy what Siobhan did last night? She was amazing. It was like she was having her own concert and having fun . . . I really think that America got this wrong. This is so wrong. Maybe if she was ousted in the Top 3 I'd accept that, but for her to booted this way . . . I just can't believe it. I'm still grieving. I still can't believe that I won't be able to look for her songs every week on American Idol because she's not there anymore. :((

It's very unfair. . . .

I just finished watching the results show. I cried when they rolled the tape of Siobhan's journey on Idol. I stopped for a while when she was singing Think (by the way, she was awesome on that), then when she was finished she hugged her family. I cried again. And then she hugged the judges - all of them (I believe that's the first time that happened) - I cried and cried more. I really couldn't believe it.

But she showed no sign of sadness throughout the show. So I guess we should be strong too if she's strong. :)

When her album is out, my sister and I are gonna buy it. \m/ Go Siobhan Magnus!! We love you.

Siobhan Magnus rocks \m/
