Today didn't start out well. I kinda "lost" our draft for the RRL with Ma'am Daryl's corrections in it so I had a major panic attack and ended up messing up. After a walk around the village to get some sunlight and burn some fats, I took a bath since the house party was 1pm. So I went McDonalds and met up with Michael there and went to the house. So okay. We were the ones who were only there, with John Ray. While waiting, I was just blabbing like a mad dog until the others came. Then, WE WENT SWIMMING! Actually, I wasn't supposed to swim since I had that terrible wound due to the Sci Camp and my mom won't let me swim. So I told them that I'll just cover it with the waterproof bandages we have (which my dad told me to use.. haha) and I'll just drown my wound in alcohol after swimming. Well, I did drown my wound in alcohol after swimming.. Then Betadine. Okay enough with the wound bit. I'll talk about the swimming part.

THE SWIMMING PART WAS SO FUN. We pretty much discovered who has a crush on who and who ditched this person and what. Ate Tuyor's expression was PRICELESS when she found out who Jennica and RJ liked. HAHAHA. Then Rhoshie shared more stories and everyone (well, almost everyone) in the pool listened to her. I think she told us the story when she was hit by a car one day before her birthday and she said it was the worst birthday ever. She didn't get hurt real bad but it was gloomy that day. Then we teased Ate Therese with Kuya Dax (hahaha bagay baya sila! hahaha) and some freshie who liked her (is it safe to say who?). Oh yeah we also teased Weslene with Kuya Pot (hahaha this is really really hilarious EVER). And Jonah was caught staring at.. someone. HAHAHA. Yeah they didn't find out who my crush was since he's from another school and they don't really mind about that. Well that's a good thing. Lol.

After swimming, we ate spaghetti and cheese sticks then I took a bath since my parents were going to come and get me. So after taking a bath, I took some more pics and then I left. Okay I was the photographer for the day and believe it or not, I only have one pic with me there.. And it's a pic with Jeth and Kuya Dax. Hahaha. Anyway, my parents got me then we went to SM to do the groceries. While Mom was at the grocery, my dad and I went to Smart since Dad had to pay some bills. So, I decided to check out what cellphones I could get for free from my retention. I was expecting that I could get a cellphone with a 5 megapixel camera but naaaah. Instead, I found out that I could get a Sony Ericsson K770i for free. It only has 3.2 megapixels but it's a Cybershot camera in a cellphone. Imagine, A CYBERSHOT IN A CELLPHONE. Gawd, I'd ditch those 5 megapixel Nokia ones! So, I decided to get the K770i but I didn't get it today. I'm still filing my application for the retention and hopefully I could get the phone within the week so I could take some good pics during the RYC. I'll go back to SM tomorrow to give my application form. WOHOO! Did I mention that I saw Ate Kira, Ate Rev, Ate Gem and Ate Irene (Paragons) at SM? Hahaha. :)

Speaking of RYC, I'm excited as hell! Another reason to skip training.. Lol. I'm excited for the worship part. Then after RYC, it's "alternative classes" aka our sembreak. Sheesh. Homework overload. I'm expecting it.

I think it's been a week since I last blogged.. The whole week was full for me due to Sci Camp preparations. From costumes to props to EVERYTHING. Michael and I went to NCCC Uyanguren last Sunday to buy stuff. Then Monday.. I saw some of my exam grades and I didn't really care since I was too preoccupied with sewing and stuff. Haha. Tuesday was an adventure for me. Abbey and I went to NCCC Centerpoint to buy some stuff needed for the props. We left school at around 5pm and got back at 6:30pm. Then, I went to Ate Therese's house to make the other props and costumes. I was with Ate Dora, Ate Veyellah, Ate Dazo, Roshella, Karen, Michael and other people. Dinner was fun since Roshella told us a whole lot of crazy stories as in MY GAWD I COULDN'T STOP LAUGHING WHILE EATING. Then, we started making the props in the "tree house" then my dad got me at around 10:30pm. Wednesday was shortened periods and I still found myself preoccupied with making the costumes. By that time, I was done with Aimee's and Che's costume and I started working on Ate Veyellah's. I went to NCCC Mall to uhm buy more cloth and other things, then bought ID cords and had our IDs laminated. It was an adventure since I was "speed shopping" then suddenly the lamination took forever. Geeeez, at least we got the lamination for 20 pesos per ID rather than the 25 pesos that the seniors thought.. Then I got back at school at around 5pm and did more stuff. Had Manong Nick drop me off at Kopi Roti then I ate dinner there then got home at 9pm. I worked on Ate Veyellah's costume until.. 2am? Lol then I slept. Then, Sci Camp came.

DAY ONE.

I won't discuss anything in much detail but here are some highlights of the day:

- I seriously had no idea what to do in our cheering. Hahaha! =)) So, I just followed whatever Lua did and, it kinda worked!
- THE MASCOT PRESENTATION PWNED. I really liked Blasslila's mascot, specifically Kami's costume. It was really, really cute. Hahaha. Our mascots were really lively with the big giraffe head.. XD I found it amusing, much.
- Errr.. Don't remember the discussion bits.. All I remember is that it was about GPS O_O
- The Wheel of Fortune bit wasn't really fortunate when it came to me. I felt sorry for Chris since I kept on yelling and spanking him when I was frustrated when I didn't get the answer. He was my punching bag. HAHAHA. Sorry Chris. XD
- It rained really, really hard that night. We all thought that the night show was going to be cancelled. I think it rained from 3-7pm. Good thing the rain stopped and the show went on!
- Preparation time was like, mayhem. Running to this place and that place. Sewing this and that. Fixing this and that. Put make up on this person and this person. The people started practicing for that dance, and it was good.
- SHOWTIME. HANDS PLAY. SIMPLY MARVELOUS!
- Sayawit. Modra's dance was chilling to the spine. Great choreography. Then Blasslila's dance was well polished and did I mention that the costumes were really nice? Hahaha. Vermelho's dance was Joshua VS Patrick. HAHAHA EMO VS RED FOX. Bezova's dance was unique since there were aliens, with the space ship. Grigio's dance was good as well since they have Oasi's president there. Amarillo's dance stood out for me (I'm not being biased here. haha) since the music was modern with the hiphop songs and the dance steps were a fusion of modern and jazz (?). Also, the singers in the other subcamps portrayed the good side but our singer (GO CHE!) was an evil fairy. HAHAHA. Did I mention that Aimee's dancing with the toes shoes and all made the crowd go O_O? It sure did. Try watching her dance up close. It gives you goosebumps. Also, the evil ones wore masks which made everything more eerie. Kinda like what the Jabbawockeez wear.. Anyway, kudos to the dancers and the crew for a job well done! THE COSTUMES DIDN'T MALFUNCTION! WOHOOOOOOOOO!
- Major vanity after the dance. Period.
- I slept at the girls quarters rather than sleeping outside. Supposedly, Hannah and I were going to sleep in my tent but I was too lazy to set it up. Also, demerits were given to those who weren't with their subcamps so I just went to our quarters instead. It was FUN, I swear. All of us exchanged scary stories to the point that all of us got scared and screamed when Kuya Rey entered the room suddenly to check on us. LOL. Then we shared a lot more stuff which only us Amarillo girls are to know.. XD The funny thing was..


Ma'am Janeth did that lots of times and uhm, we ended up sleeping at around 1:30am since we had to get up by 4am to take a bath and get dressed. :)

DAY TWO

- Got up at 4am to take bath. Good thing I was done taking a bath when the water ran out. Hahaha.
- Our wake up call was rock music played by the band from the Seniors. Morning jamzzz!
- Morning exercise led by Sir Mancao. Unfortunately, it didn't make me any thinner. HAHA.
- During breakfast, we had a new cheer! IT'S SO CUUUTE.


- Had a seminar about space technology. What was cool was that the one conducting the seminar was an astrophysicist.. who was a Jesuit priest as well. Wow.
- AMAZING RACE BLUES. I got pwned at the started of the race. I was running in the cobblestoned pathwalk and it was quite a stampede. Then out of nowhere, I felt someone push me and I fell left side of my butt flat on the rough surface. Got some scratches here and there and a really icky wound on my ankle. Wow to the person who pushed me, thanks for the great advanced birthday gift. Now if you were an Amarillan then I could forgive you. If not and if you were a freshman or a sophomore, BEWARE. I might hunt you down in school. Depends who you are of course.. Wtf I'm nuts. There's no way I could find out who pushed me. Grar. Wait, did I mention that the left side of my butt hurts because of that fall? I have a badminton tournament tomorrow and how am I supposed to run? Wish me luck with that.
- Some stations in the race were ANNOYINGLY FUN. Especially the ones with mud and water. I kinda found the mud part challenging since I had an open wound and when the mud covered my wound, it hurt really really bad. The water part was funny! Hahaha we all had to squat and walk while our eyes were closed.. Only the first person was allowed to have his or her eyes open. But even if it was painful to the thighs, it was really really FUN!
- Took a bath at lunch time then ate.. I found myself sleeping again during the seminar in the afternoon. Like duh, I only slept for two hours and I was tired from all the running. Hahaha.
- CLOSING CEREMONY. All I can say is that Blasslila Corvus got most of the awards thus they were hailed as the best subcamp. Kudos to Blasslila and Kuya Gok! At least Amarillo won the Asean game thing and Kuya Pot won best camper. XD
- Seniors started to get emotional since it was their last Sci Camp. I'll wait for that moment to happen to me next year. Lol.
- Mom got me at school at around 7pm. Went to SM to eat dinner then fetched Dad at Pia's Cafe then went home.

Now, here are the reasons why I love our Sci Camp this year:

- All the hyperactive people went to Amarillo. Hahaha!
- Our leaders let us do our own thing then they appreciate our efforts, which is a good thing.
- UNITY AND LAUGHTER. Period.
- Made friends with other people! Hahaha.
- Merge with Modra Cygnus! MODRAMARILLO! :]
- Bonding moments with the Amarillo girls. I'll miss you all. D:

KUDOS TO MATH SCI FOR THE KICKASS SCI CAMP! WOHOO!

AMARILLO!

Kuya Rey and Airish! XD

Sam (aka Ma'am Mendoza's kid). He's so cute that I just had to place his pic here!

Jeth?

I made that dress..

..and the gray one here. XD

Back from a tiring but productive day. Hahaha.

I got up at around 6am even if I intended to get up at around, 8? Then I ate breakfast then went out for a walk. After walking, hot-oiled my hair, took a bath then set off to Amarillo's meeting at Kuya Dax's house. I went to McDonald's at Damosa since Ate Therese told me that they were there and I was thinking that there were other people from different year levels there. So I came and I noticed that I was the only junior there. Hahaha so awkward. So after that, Ate Weslene, Kuya Dax, Ate Therese and I walked to his house on the other side of the road. When I got there, I saw Michael and mingled with the freshmen namely Jonah, Noree and Aimee. :)

I went there because I'm part of the group that's gonna make the costume and I'm glad that we accomplished something. As a matter of fact, Michael and I are going to NCCC Uyanguren to buy cloth for the costumes. Hopefully I'd be done making the two important costumes by Tuesday night so that I could make final adjustments on Wednesday. Gaaah I'm so excited to make the costume! I'm planning to start tomorrow. Lmao.

After planning, I talked a lot with the Seniors about stuff that they knew, and about stuff that I knew. It's really hard to keep secrets in Pisay since everyone knows everyone. Hahaha I was just really amazed. I bet they were amazed when I told them that I knew what happened to this person when they were in this year and in this section. And I'm pretty sure that they know stuff about my batch as well. That's life, we coexist. In the near future that coexistence could lead to massive camaraderie when we get to college.

We ate lunch there as well and the only thing I ate was rice and menudo. Come on, I hardly eat menudo! The food was really good, and I was full enough to keep my going in badminton training. My dad told me that he'd fetch me by 2pm so I left already.. By the way, Kuya Dax! Thanks for the food! Forgot to thank you a while ago. >.< I got to Holiday and I was Ate Dan, Darlene, Hannah, Topet and the others there. I was talking to them then suddenly Angel came out of nowhere. HAHAHA I just reacted normal (like duh, I see Angel in class everyday.. lol). I bet they were expecting that I'd have an "ATE DANICA" reaction when I saw Angel since it's been a long time since she trained. And yes! Earvin (not Earvin Go) is back in action! Finally someone to fight with.. Hahaha. Kidding, kidding. Training was okay I guess. I think we won in all the games we played.. I'm not sure. I guess I'm too damn lazy to tell stories today.. Tournament next week! And I'd be missing Ramayana practice. T_T Oh well.. At least there's food!

People responded to my provocative blog entry in Multiply last night.. Yay!

Uh yeah you can't read any of the comments there but generally, it says that I'm not alone in feeling that way and the like. If you're curious what my blog said, here it is:

It's been a long time since I blogged here. I just thought about it after revamping my almost dysfunctional Multiply page.

Junior life. As of now, we have 17 months to go to graduation. Anyone excited?

Guess what. I'm kinda excited.

I just cannot stand my life as a Junior sometimes. It's been an emotional rollecoaster for me ever since classes have started. I don't know if me being emotional is brought about by stress, but it could be a factor. Anyway, I noticed that my social life has been from up there to down there. I haven't been interacting that much with people. I usually choose to sit down and listen to my iPod while staring at nothing. If I do start to interact with people, I usually end up being out of place. I'm pretty sure that I'm out of place since I couldn't relate to the topic or anything. I'm usually left out when it comes to TV shows, music, and other things. I don't usually go out with friends that much since I'm preoccupied with badminton on weekends. I could skip badminton once in a while. The thing is, no one really asks me to come.

I don't blame anyone. I know I am a boring person.

Sometimes I wanna get mad at some people but I can't. Why? The good things they have done to me overshadows my anger towards them. One day I'm mad, the next day I'm okay. It's useless when I'm mad. It doesn't even matter to anyone.

Thing here is, I'm finding it hard to find someone to trust. I "miss" some of my friends who actually go to the same school as I do. As much as I want to tell them everything that's been bothering me and what's going on, I don't because I know it wouldn't make any sense to them. I'm a person with a deranged mind but still is functional. Ironic, I know.

And now my birthday is in nine days, my wish is simple. I wish that all my loved ones would celebrate my birthday with me because they want to, and not because they are obliged to. If you don't want to come, fine then don't even if it hurts me.

Sorry for being emotional. Just had to get it all out of my chest.

I remember my dad telling me that Librans are hard to read. They won't talk to you for several days then they'll suddenly talk to you. I am like that, seriously. I have these days when I don't like talking to some people because I just don't feel like it even if I have nothing against those people. My personality is similar to weighing scales, just like Libra's symbol. I find it hard to weigh the appropriate intensity of my emotions in some situations. To Librans out there, are you like me in that aspect? Just curious..

EIGHT DAYS LEFT.

How do I start this..

Obviously, today is a Sunday and Sunday is my "lazy day". It means it's that one day in the week that I slack off the most and I just sleep, sleep, and yeah, sleep. Unfortunately, Sundays haven't been that much of a lazy day for me ever since I entered a torture asylum called Pisay. Nah, I'm kidding. Pisay isn't really a torture asylum. It could be when requirements come on after the other or worse, all at the same time. Good thing that we finished our Methodology yesterday and I'm done with my English assignment. So right now, I'm already slacking off. Hahahaha I'm such a sloth.

I bet every guidance counselor in every school says that a teenager's life has three parts - school, social life and sleep. You can't have all three at the same time. You can only have two at a time. In relation to my existence (I don't like using 'life' since its soooo overrated), I have a schedule for this. Errr, here we go.

WHATEVER DAY (except summer vacation, I guess) -- School and social life/sleep (a bit of this two, depending on the situation)

What. A. Nice. Schedule. So. Generic. Much? Ha. Ha. Ha.

Unfortunately this summer vacation, I won't be having much of a social life for 160 hours. Yeah, it's the internship. I could have a social life if I had a batchmate or a friend who would be having his/her internship in the same company as I do but, I think I'm the only one planning to intern in Davao Light. So, I'm planning to work 9 hours a day, six times a week so that in 3 weeks, I'm done and I could finally join badminton training. Initially, my aunt was planning that she'd make me and my mom go to Canada after my internship but I said no since I still had a lot of stuff to do here. I guessed I'd go there when it's my 18th birthday so it would be fun. Teehee.

I'm starting to get a feeling that I'd "cool down" on my academic performance when I'm in college. Is it because high school is already like college to me? Damn I have no idea. Sometimes I even wonder why did I ever enroll in Pisay, aside from the fact that they give stipends. Whatever. As long as I know that I'm 18 months away from graduation, I guess I'll be okay. Alive at least.

----------

I heard that KC and Richard's movie is really good (as I read from Sam's blog. Hi Sam!). Shall I watch it? Or shall I not watch it? I don't want my cash to go to waste. I think I'd be looking out for Twilight first, then Harry Potter. The reason why I don't want to watch For The First Time is because the trailer didn't convince me. Okay, two kids from two big showbiz dynasties are starring in the film and it's in Greece.. Now what? The trailer for me didn't really showcase the story line, aside from the fact that it's a love story. Well, looks can deceive so I better watch before I jump to conclusions.

----------

My birthday is one month and twelve days away from today. Gawd, I'm the first one in my batch to celebrate her sweet 16. Seriously, what's the point of coining your 16th birthday as.. SWEET? I don't think my birthday will be sweet. It will be sweet since there's gonna be a cake (hahah sorry I'm so corny). I guess my birthday will be, normal. Complete with family, friends, and food, of course. And yes, I already have a birthday gift proposal to my parents and they approved! I asked them to give me a badminton bag, that's backpack style. Kinda like the RSL ones they sell. So far, my dad already asked the guy who supplies RSL here if they have the color that I want. Yay! I need that bag anyway. The blue bag I use belongs to my dad, but I used it since my dad got injured so he didn't play for I think, 2 or 3 months. I do have another bag but, only my rackets and shuttlecock tubes would fit. Hopefully, I'd get money for my birthday so I could buy myself a dry fit shirt, a pair of shorts (again!), or have my gut and grip changed from gray, to neon blue or yellow. Or even better, I'd buy myself a pair of Havaianas again, or Crocs? I don't knowwww. Well, those plans are still tentative since I'm not even sure that I'm getting cash on my birthday. But hey, at least I'm getting a new bag! *grins cheesily*

----------

Physics and Chemistry quiz tomorrow. Physics is the first subject tomorrow, and I still don't know the basic facts about the Bose-Einstein condensate and Decompression sickness. Gaaaaah.

---------

I always, always forget to mention this.


Wanna get me a birthday gift?
