Update! Wow. I haven't blogged in 4 days? Wow.
March 27, 2010:
Mom, dad, my sister, two cousins and I went to Metropolis. First, we went Bowling but only Ate Jessica and I played. She said it was her first time but she kept winning against me. How annoying is that? Kidding. XD It's okay, it's not like I'm much of a good player anyway. :)) [ Wow. That sounded weird. Good player . . . Player . . . :)) XD ] We then saw Sports Center and we played the Wii there for two hours. I kept playing tennis and my sister kept playing baseball. We also both tried boxing. Then I also tried golf and my sister tried bowling. Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! But tennis was really the most fun. I'm thinking of taking lessons in the summer . . . :D We went to National Book Store and bought some more Nicholas Sparks books. XD Then when we came home, we watched Jennifer's Body. Haha! :))
March 28, 2010:
We did nothing in the morning. But in the afternoon after going to mass, we went to Nuvali. We ate at Reyes Barbecue, then bought some more books at National Book Store. I bought another Nicholas Sparks book while my sister bought two TrueBlood books. She's getting addicted to it. :)) When we came back to our house, we watched Pride and Prejudice. Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! :D
March 29, 2010:
The first day of recognition practices. We started later than planned. We thought the achievers were going to be separated from the conduct awardees. It's okay, but it would be more fun because I'd be sitting right in the middle of Jonina and Abby (I think). Haha! Kewl. :D We also learned about our recognition song, Do I Make You Proud by Taylor Hicks. Later that afternoon, Jonina called me, Christine and Michelle, but Michelle hang up quickly. The three of us left watched True Jackson VP together. Hahahaha!
March 30, 2010:
Second day of the recognition practice. We learned the steps to our recognition song. We also had the formation. We were dismissed a little early. Oh, by the way, while Tr. Carol was arranging the students, I took my phone out and started taking pictures of the Bosconians. Suddenly I heard her call my name. But I realized she wasn't looking at me, and she wasn't even talking to me. She was talking to my sister, and she usually calls her by my name. :)) Some looked at me and I just laughed. But it is kinda funny. Then she called my name again, but I knew it was my sister this time. :)) XD In the afternoon, Jonina called me while watching First Time. Christine was supposed to be called too, but Jonina said that Christine said her mom was there, and it would be awkward if she'd be talking to us on the phone. Aww, too bad. [ P.S. I looooove Joshua Dionisio! XD ] In the evening, mom came home with some newly bought DVDs. My sister, cousin and I watched Alice in Wonderland. Then Gossip Girl, and finally Glee. We slept at about 3:30am. And I woke up today at around 8am. Whew. :))

Sophistication =))
After the program for the last day of school, Hanna, Aivette, Michelle, Vielka and I got together and prepared for our going to Nuvali. :D Vielka's mom was nowhere in sight, and we thought of riding at Hanna's service so that we could commute from Caltex, but we didn't. We waited for Vielka's mom, and when she got there, we rode to Nuvali. Irish was with us by the way. :D We decided that we would eat our lunch. The thing we haven't decided at that time was where we would eat our lunch. We went near the call center and thought we should eat there, but when we saw the prices, we went to Brother's Burger. XD Hmmm. Should I tell you what we ate? =)) Nah, I won't. :))) Then, we saw that the fish feeding and taxi boat are open, so we went to the booth and paid the fees. We fed the fish while waiting for the boat to arrive. When we finally rode the boat, we had loads of fun! :D When we were finished we saw Trisha and some of our servicemates. Coooool! :D We had a pictorial. XD Then we went to 7-11 and bought Slurpee. We took a rest there for about an hour, some bought chips and other snacks, and we ate them there. After that, we had another pictorial in the field. \m/ :)) Then we went to the CR, and had another pictorial there, but it wasn't a very long one. XD We went to National Book Store. I finally bought
The Rescue! \m/ We also had pictorial there with the books. =)) We were standing there for a long time that we decided to chillax at Starbucks. We also stayed there for about an hour, and then we finally went outside because it was too cold inside and we needed to go. But before that, we had another pictorial. Each of us took pictures with the
Nuvali sign. You just have to watch out for our pictures there. XD

Imbalance :D
We had the year-end mass in the morning. It was our final mass as Team Faenza. :( Alyssa even cried during the mass. Aww. After that we went to our classroom. After a few minutes, we started to eat, but we had little food. We had a few hours left, but mostly we just hung out and chillaxed while waiting. Waiting for what, I'm not sure. XD Then I noticed that we were all gloomy. But when Sir Chet came with the four boxes of pizza from Shakey's, we all started to scramble near him and all the boxes were emptied in about a minute! =)) That was funny. :)) After that, we were called inside the classroom and had our sharing. Blanky was the first to go. He was very romantic, sharing about Nancy. We girls were screaming for him. =)) Then the next new students also shared about their experiences. Sir Chet also shared about his moments with Faenza. And just when we thought it was dismissal time, Dada went to the cake and started a food fight! She wiped the cake on our faces. Then Tommy and Glenn threw the softdrinks at us!! Most started leaving the room but the guys followed them. Waa . . . It was very messy! :)) They were all throwing cake and coke and other softdrinks at us . . . Then Sir Chris saw us and talked to Sir Chet. :( We cleaned our room, so I guess it's okay. :) Then we left . . . But I really didn't feel like it was our last day together. Maybe because of our swimming on April 12. Weeeeee! I'm getting more and more excited for that. x)
Imba talaga ang Faenza. Grabe. Thank you Lord dahil ginawa mo akong Faenzanesian!! :D

Diversion
When I was little, I was already asked of this question:
"What course are you going to take up in college?" My mom was the first one who asked me that. XD I just told her I wanted something related to writing. So she asked if I was going to take Mass Communication. I asked her first what that is, and she said I would write articles or other means and . . . that. Yeah, I forgot. :)) But I told myself I was going to take that, because I can write.
A few years passed and I got to know about lawyers. I asked my mom what course lawyers take to, well, become lawyers. She answered Law. I thought lawyers were cool, so I got to thinking whether or not I should take law. It has high pay, so that's one fact. :D But then I got scared because you might get sued if you have some errors. X_X :)) Then I also found out about Journalism, which is much like Mass Comm. You'll write articles or report in news shows like TV Patrol or 24 Oras. I didn't want that, but it's related to writing, so I decided I'd take that instead of Mass Comm. Then, I'd take Law after. :D
Then, I think that was last year or two years ago, I watched Nikki Gil on Myx, and I learned that she was at the time taking Literature at Ateneo. And right then and there, I finally decided that instead of Journalism, I will be taking Literature in college. I started reading novels, and got more excited for my future. :D
Suddenly, two weeks ago, I was chatting with Sir Chet. We talked about a few things, and then the Engineering thing came up. I was surprised and told him that I would be taking Literature and not Engineering. The idea never even came across my mind. But after that chat, I'm not sure with Literature anymore. :( I told my friends about it. One said Literature is "unpredictable," and she's right. Although I've always dreamed of being a bestselling author in the world, I can't do that right away because . . . Well, just because that job is hard. :(
So I decided that I'll take Engineering in college. :'( It was not what I had in mind, but it's math, and I can do math. [ Although it's science, too, but . . . it's going to be okay. :D ] Math is fun. =)) And maybe I'll take Literature after that, so I can write a few stories in my spare time. [ Wow. I think I'm going to work all the time when I'm old. XD ] And then, when I'm older, I may take Law too. :D I like . . . things. :)) Secret. =)) But I won't lie. XD If I have to defend real innocent people and have low pay only so that I would not have to lie for rich people, I'm going to do it. Fight for the truth, men! \m/ :))
Yes. Engineering. In UST. Is there Engineering in UST? Civil engineering? Hmmmmmm.

Nothing much
I was lazy to go school today. I don't even have a chance of being an awardee for Perfect Attendance anymore. Hahahaha. But I still went to school because I don't really have a choice. :)) XP But it's okay. :D We had the Miting de Avance today. The different parties and independent candidates elaborated more about their platforms and . . . Yeah. :)) After that, we went back to our classrooms. We had one more hour before dismissal. We just went to some of the teachers that haven't signed our clearance yet. That's it. Haha. Wow. So nothing much happened today. :))

Mar. 22, 2010: Lies, lies, and more lies
I woke up at 4:00am. But I thought that was too early so I went back to sleep then woke up again at 4:30am. Again, I thought I was too early so I went back to sleep. Woke up at 5am. I figured that I'd just shut my eyes for a short while, but when dad was waking me up, I saw that it was almost 5:40 in the morning! Whoa! What a long nap, I thought. :))
When we arrived at the school, not much were there. I saw Ruth, then Aivette came, then Eminence and Paolo. Aivette and I went to the CR and saw Thalia there. Aivette and I went outside, then Vielka and Jonina arrived. And then Meg came, and then Michelle came. Meg went with the Comselec people. The rest of us with Thalia went to the AVR lobby to register for the YES seminar.
After a few minutes we went inside the AVR and waited for some more because Tr. Tina said we will start at exactly 8am. Then we were told that our guest speaker is a former student of Tr. Tina, she didn't state exactly how long ago. :)) But then when Mark - that's his name - came, he said it was 9 years ago, and mostly the Juniors - but us too - were laughing. =)) So the seminar started. We talked about leadership. Mark also mentioned that Sir Chris was also his teacher! Wow! They're old . . . O_O =)) Kidding. XD Then we went to the Physics lab and had some activities. We were grouped first. My groupmates were Michelle, Aivette, Klariza, Ate Eyen, Ate Nikki, Kuya Rogie (I think?? I'm not sure), Shekinah (I think??) and Vince. First we made a symbol or something like that. Ours was a face with some symbolism. Hahahaha. Nice. After that we were asked to make a tower out of manila paper. I really liked ours. :D Ours and the next group were the only groups to make our tower stand. Oh yeah! \m/ Hahahaha. :)) After that we had our break. Yes!!! :D
Most of us ate our lunch. Then Hanna came. She didn't attend the YES seminar. But we went back to the Physics lab and Sir Noel she could come in. Aivette said Hanna was corrupt. :)) We just had our election of officers for the next school year. Kuya Xtian was our new president, then Xander our vice president. I forgot the rest. Karistia was our level representative. After that, we were dismissed. We went back to the canteen because Hanna ate her lunch. Christine also arrived. We went to the corridor and waited.
Faenza was called inside the room by Sir Chet. He gave us the results of our CEM Achievement Test. English: Excellent; Algebra: Superior; Biology: Superior. As always, the Science subject is always my lowest subject. But it's superior. I think that's the first time I got that kind of result in Science in the achievement test. :)) So, I guess it's cool. :D And then we didn't know yet about the sequences so I got a low score especially in that part. :))
Next, the different parties for the ESC Elections came a-knockin' on our rooms. =)) I could only remember the VOTE Party . . . They really made such an impression with their "outfits," and Abby was a part of that party. When it was her turn to speak, Sir Chet released the cockroach! The cockroach is Abby's number one enemy. =)) Wooooooo!! We were all laughing. There were also Ate Ana: the foremost promoter of the hand dryer and Anton's sister, Ate Alayne: Vielka's sister, and Ate Erika: Xander's sister. Next was Ate Nikki and she has no brother or sister in our batch. :)) They're really funny! :D

Summer plans ^__^
What am I going to do this summer? I have plans. But I don't know if I will be able to really do them. Last year, I also made summer plans. I said I'd take bowling, soccer, advanced guitar and piano lessons, and go to Pangasinan and Bohol. I only took the soccer lessons and then went to Bohol for two weeks. I think I played bowling a few weekends but didn't really take the lessons. Also didn't take the advanced guitar lessons. Aww. And the piano lessons. And we didn't go to Pangasinan.
This summer, these plans are tentative. :))
- On the last day, Faenza is planning to swim on Rorie's resort, overnight stay. I guess that will be fun, but I don't think I'll be able to go. :'( Too bad. I hope they have fun. I'm really gonna miss Faenza. I guess I just have to cherish every moment with them. :)
- I told mom that I want to celebrate my birthday in EK. But I think we'll go there earlier than the real date of my birth so that everyone will come. Maybe we'll go there on the day after Recognition, since, you know, we'll all be there and it's also kind of a reward for our awards. :)) I hope it will really happen, and I hope everyone will come this time. :D
- Hmmmmm . . . Where will we go for Vielka's birthday? Yeah. I hope that will be fun. Maybe we'll get to go to Singapore with her family? :)) Yes, that's fun. XD
- I will memorize the periodic table of elements on May for Chemistry on my Junior year in High School. Yes! :)) I cannot chillax anymore with my studies. It's Junior year!! The grades we will have there will be the first to be seen for college applications. :)) Oh look at me, so prepared for the future. :)) No, I am not. :D
- I'm not sure if I will take soccer lessons again. But Raya said she'll join this summer, if I'll join too. Someone will save me. Yey! :)) But I still don't know. If I do join and then continue in the school year, I might lag behind in my studies. I need to be more focused now. On the other hand, joining the soccer club will add points to my extracurricular activities. :)) So I'm not really sure.
- I seriously want to take advanced guitar lessons and learn how to play the piano this time! I really wanna play the piano. It sounds so cool! x) I hope I can really take good piano lessons this summer. :)) :D
- What else? Eat, sleep, chat, text, watch TV, write . . . Ahh, the life. This is what summer's all about. :D
