Tournament at Holiday. Had lotsa food. Angel and Kim went. Hannah was my partner. Took lots of pics. Ate lots of food. I sweat all the food out (lol). I still lack sleep. I'm so lazy to blog. AND! I got a gift from Ate Renren, Joey and Ate Danica! WOHOO.

Here's the trio's gift to me: THE SHIRT! It says OBEY but it if you look at it initially, you'd think it says OBET. Obet's my dad's name so it looks like the shirt says, "OBEY OBET". LOL. =))

OBEY/OBET. :>

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.

While waiting for my dear researchmates to go online, I'll just blog. I wanna call them up already but, I feel kinda bad for bugging them too much. I was so agitated yesterday that I kept on blabbing on how the hell will I do our research during badminton.

Jann made a really good observation. She said, "Ate Danica's a senior and it looks like she doesn't have any problems. You guys are juniors and you're so full of problems!"

So, so, so true. I owe it all to Pisay. Grrr. Anyway.

Badminton training was okay. Had a good sweat, had laughs with people, played City Bloxx on Joey's cellphone, and told everyone that I'm bringing food on October 11 since it's my birthday on the 12th. You know what's really cool? Kuya Cee-em's gonna celebrate his birthday on October 11. TWICE THE FOOD! Hahaha. I told Ate Renren to tell Kuya Cee-em about me bringing food so we could talk about what to bring. Also, Joey promised that he'd bring two gallons of ice cream for Ate Renren and I. HAHAHA. But duh, I'll share the ice cream. I don't wanna make myself even more bloated than now. After training, Dar, Ate Danica and I went to Kopi Roti to eat and talk more.. And relax. I drank coffee as well since I had an all nighter last night due to Research. Their coffee is just DIVINE. For some reason. Not that bitter, not that sweet. Just perfect for a rainy night.

Got up today, went to church and dressed up again. I don't usually dress up that nice during ordinary days but it's more of a requirement during Sundays. I think I better get used to it already.

Now that I'm home for the rest of the day, I just have to sit here and wait. Patiently.

Research, research, research. Such a blessed curse to my life.

Mariel called me up regarding the progress of the Methodology and JB just went online. Great, that's nice to know. Anyway.

I'm really amazed on how people remember Bible verses and what the verses contain. I mean, the only Bible verse I know by heart is John 3:16 since I always see it on people's shirts, on jeepneys, on signs in the streets, from Values Ed class, whatever print media there is available, etc etc etc.

I know what it contains.

My brain is shutting down but my body is still working.

I left the house at around 10am to go to SM since my research groupmates and I agreed to meet in SM to work on our methodology. Prior to that, each of us had some parts on the methodology to work on so it would be easier. My task was to do the gathering of data, location and flowchart bit of the metho. Anyway, I met Mariel first at Coffee Dream while waiting for JB but we started working already. In between, I bought iced mocha there and a fish fillet sandwich from Roadhouse (2nd time this week!). Then about an hour later, JB came and he did his share of the work. I'm glad to say that we accomplished a lot of things today and we have hopes in getting a 1.00 in teamwork! HAHAHA. And that completes the genesis of our dear research proposal. Good thing Mariel volunteered to add the "finishing touches" in our metho draft. And, all of us already agreed on what chapter to revise for the final copy. JB's gonna do Chapter 1, I'm gonna do Chapter 2, and Mariel will do Chapter 3. Gah, the RRL and I will meet again. I still have so much stuff to add, it might give me a major headache for, a week? Oh well, that's life in Pisay. Er anyway, after finishing the metho draft, we saw Maxine, Hani and SM and I left for training.

Did I mention that my mom asked me to buy bean sprouts? Geez. My mom always asks me to buy veggies whenever I'm in the mall by myself, or with my friends. First she asked me to buy monggo. The second time she asked me to buy turnips. The third time she asked me to buy, I think it was guavas. WHATEVER. I don't have a choice anyway. Lmao.

So I arrived at Holiday an hour and a half before training. All I remember was eating the other half of my sandwich and, eating peanuts which EJ's mom gave me. Then during training, it was mostly footwork. Footwork's essential but the thing I don't like about it is that I can't "feel my feet" when I'm at it for a long time. It's just, weird. I feel my feet burning as it creates friction in my socks. And it made the muscles in my thighs ache. I guess the footwork bit was okay since Coach Leo told me my footwork was good (which I took as a compliment since I usually hear people tell me that my footwork sucks) but the way I played was HORRIBLE.

I didn't like the way I played today. It's like my mind was on shut down mode and I didn't even think I was in a game or something. Must be the stress, and one of its symptoms is lack of concentration. I do lack concentration since I haven't had a good night's sleep for the past I don't know how many weeks. I'm starting to feel that I'm losing my good momentum in playing badminton. My smashes have undermined, and I am also undermining. I feel so weak and, lost? I seriously need to focus on my game more. The stress is deteriorating my focus. Shizmssss.

So after training, I got dressed, chatted with the others and went home. I ate dinner and now I'm blogging. Wow, I do have a life. *sarcastic*

----------

I've been feeling introverted for the past few weeks already. I do interact still but, I feel introverted most of the time. I choose to spend time alone and engage in deep thinking. It feels, very, very, very, awkward. And my inferiority complex is overshadowing me again.

I wish there would be even just one day in my entire life that I'd forget every single freaking thing I'm insecure about.


----------

I think I know what I did wrong. *smacks self in the head*

I just finished my Bio lab report and it reached 6 pages. Also, I've been listening to the same song over, and over, and over again.

As usual, Mondays with no classes meant playing badminton at Wheels n More with the usual people (you guys know who you are). The ones who were there were Hannah, Ate Danica, Joey, Darlene and Robien. I didn't get to play that well since my elbow hurts real bad (it still does. shizms), and I didn't have a full stomach. Also, I was preoccupied with making my lab report. My dad managed to feed me by buying some V-Cut but I still wasn't full. So after playing, I went to GMall with Hannah, Darlene, Joey and Ate Danica to eat lunch. We ate breaded porkchop (for the nth time. haha) and chocolate eclairs. After lunch, Joey had to leave already since he said he was going to have lunch at his house and he had to study. So the ones who were left to train were I, Hannah, Ate Dan and Darlene. We took a taxi to Holiday and there wasn't anyone in the court. So, we decided to be vain and play with my shutter shades. Hahaha then Dar, Hannah and I did our lab reports SIMULTANEOUSLY in the lobby. I bet people were thinking we were a bunch of nerds. Hahaha.

Training was okay. My elbow still hurt but I managed to train anyway. We had rotation, the M drill then games. I was still making my lab report in between breaks, by the way. After training, we ate and I headed home.

Now that I'm done with my lab report, I could sleep, read Breaking Dawn, do this and that. Whatever.

Speaking of Breaking Dawn, I'm still stuck in Chapter 23 for how many days. I haven't opened the book ever since Saturday since I didn't have any energy left to read at night. I usually fall asleep when I read at night. Lmao. And yeah, I'm still stuck in Chapter 2 of my freaking story. I don't have any time to make it. Maybe I'll work on it more during the sembreak or Christmas break. My goal is to finish it before Christmas break so that Ma'am Annie could critic it before I submit the final copy. Also, my mom told me to join the My SM Story thingy in the newspaper. Come on, they have a cash prize! Hahaha. But yeah, my family has an SM story even dating back about 50 years ago when SM was still a shoe store in Carriedo. My mom told me that my grandma would bring her along to the SM shoe store when my mom was still 8 years old. Yeah yeah, my grandma's a fashionista even until now that she's err, 73 years old? Something like that. Hahaha. My SM story is that my mom brought me to SM Megamall ever since I was an infant. Therefore, I am a total mall rat now. I've been in the mall for the past 5 days. Last Thursday, I was in GMall buying shorts in Adidas. Last Friday I was in SM to watch Pisay the Movie. Last Saturday, I was in GMall walking around with ketchup on my toe. Yesterday, I was in SM and a while ago, I was in GMall again. I guess the love for shoes and being a mall rat is genetic. You think so? You better. Lol.

I'll work on the SM story thing first. Wait, I'll work on my English essay before that. Then that. Then my story. No, no. RESEARCH FIRST! The methodology's due on September 1 (which is 1 week away from now). Better start looking for books on Thiessen polygons already.

School work before anything else. My PhP 5,000 can wait (as if I won already in the SM story thing right? haha dream on Macey!)! Ha, ha, ha.

----------

Want proof that we made our lab reports? Here!

THIS DAY PWNS! I had soooo muuuuuch fuuuun todaaaaaay! Seriouslyyyyy.

I went to Smash n Drop at around 8:30. I don't really remember what happened after that but I'll just talk about what happened during when Hannah and I played.

1st Game - 31-17. We lost.

We played against two ladies who were maybe in their late 30's or early 40's. They were good actually and they really know where to give the shuttlecock. We lost but it was okay. :)

2nd Game - 31-19. We lost, again.

I'd rather not talk about this one. The ones we played against were good, real good. But again, I'd rather not talk about this one! For more info, ask those who watch since they know what I would want to say here. HAHAHAHAHA.

After the 2nd game, we ate lunch ate Dencia's! The ones who were there was I, Ate Danica, Hannah, Michael, Paolo, Joey, my dad and Ate Dan's mom. We ate lumpiang shanghai, their special torta, pansit and rice. As usual, the food was really really good and affordable. A lot of people ate there a while ago. Anyway after that, we went back to Smash n Drop to play our last game. The fun part.

Last game - 31-24. We lost, AGAIN. But this one was the best one so far!

It was pretty close fight. Coach Leo was there to coach and cheer! Thanks Coach! Hehehe. Yeah the whole cheering squad was there. We lost yeah but it was a good experience. It's just the first tournament that Hannah and I played together and we have more to come. We still got strong bones, ya know. So in those next tournaments, we plan to have videos of us playing taken and we'd post them on Youtube! Hahaha we'll be famous! Get ready to be pwned Charice Pempengco! Okay I'm kidding but really, we're posting it on Youtube. XD

After playing, I got dressed to watch the level D games. I wonder what happened to Topet and EJ when we left (since we are the cheering squad). I hope they won. Gaaah I'm so lazy to talk about this part. But they played well. Really, really, really well. Their games were super exciting to watch. So after watching the games, Michael went to a debut, Paolo went to church, Hannah went home already and Joey, Ate Dan, Darlene and I went to GMall.

We took a jeep and uhm, the jeep passed by the market place so it was stinky and all. We were laughing the whole time since we thought we were already lost but we got to the mall safely anyway.

When we got to the mall, John Lloyd Cruz had a mall show and Ate Dan and I were really ecstatic. Unfortunately, we didn't come close to Lloydie since there were so many people. So we went to Adidas and Nike to check out some stuff, I bought shutter shades for 270 bucks (yay!), and we ran into Ma'am Sheila somewhere (I always run into teachers whenever I'm in GMall! hahaha). Oh yeah, we saw a lot of weird people at the mall too. There were a lot of cross dressing gays who wore sparkly outfits, a guy who had a super duper spiky hairdo, some gothic cosplayers, and then there's us. Ate Dan wore her shutter shades and someone said, "Aba nakashades!" and when I wore mine, I got the same comment as well. But hey, at least I didn't look stupid in a gothic cosplay outifit. I even yelled, "Oi naa lagi nagacosplay diri!". Yeah yeah I'm such a meanie. Anyway, my dad told me to leave the mall at 6 so that I could get home early. Believe it or not, I only had 10 pesos left with me. So, Joey and I decided to take the jeep together since we needed to go home and we just live quite near each other.

The jeep ride was, okay. I just took a taxi when I got to Damosa since I was scared to ride a jeep alone at that kind of hour. So when I got to Damosa, I finally found a taxi and headed home.

Now I'm safely home and I got to clean up, I'm glad that even if we lost, we did gain experience and we had fun. I had a lot of fun since I got to sweat off all the lunch that I ate. Which reminds me, I play best 30 minutes after eating a meal. I remember that I really played bad one time when we were in Wheels n More but then after eating a lot of food, I played better. Surprisingly, I had no stomach pains or anything. Cool huh? So the lesson when playing in a tournament: EAT BEFORE PLAYING. It works for me. Hahaha. WHEELS N MORE ON MONDAY MORNING! WOHOO! XD

----------

Gah, I'm so lazy to put pics. Sorry.

YOUTUBE FINALLY HAS THE FULL MV OF AFTER LOVE BY FT ISLAND! LOVE LOVE LOVE!



----------

Hay, rest time for me now. :) Toodles!

PS. Thanks to Darlene for giving me paper when ketchup was spilled onto my feet [how unlucky of me..]! XD

I SUPER DUPER LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS DAY! SO MUCH FUN! XDDDDD

I wasn't supposed to watch the FTC tournament today since Hannah wasn't coming but Ate Danica texted me and she asked me if I was going to watch. Good thing that my dad's friends were playing so I decided to go. So my dad and I went there right after eating breakfast and bringing the laundry to Damosa. Ate Dan wasn't there yet so I chatted with Kuya Randy while watching Joey and Robien's game versus some gays or something. But you know, gays are really good in playing badminton. Hahaha anyway, Ate Dan came in the middle of the game. Unfortunately, Robien and Joey lost sooooo, we decided to eat lunch after that. We ate lunch in Jollibee somewhere in Magsaysay. The funny thing was that we were crossing streets and it was raining so my feet and Ate Dan's got wet and dirty. Good thing I was wearing rubber slippers but Ate Dan's slippers were cloth coated or something so, yeah. We got to Jollibee and I saw Che's mom and we greeted each other. Then we ate lunch then after that, we went back to Smashville. What I love about Smashville is that in the 1st floor, it's like a mini-Greenhills! I MISS GREENHILLS. D: Anywaaaay. Joey and Robien lost in their 2nd game and we rushed out to go to training. It's good that my dad was there to bring us.

We were like 20 minutes late in training and I was really satisfied with my training today, even if we only had one drill. I was surprised that I was using my footwork! Hahaha and my dad was also surprised as well. He said he had "chills" when he saw my doing the drill. After the drill, my dad approached me and said, "Pinch me, I must be dreaming! Were you really running a while ago?!". I was like, "..yeah. Bully!". Hahaha my dad really likes to make fun of me at times. So after the drill, games! Hannah was my partner so that we could practice more. The 1st game was us versus some dude and John, that cute Korean 12 year old! John's really adorable. He was like, "May I join you?" and he said it in a kid kind of way. Awwwww! Hannah agrees that he's cute. We won the game and the next game was Hannah and I versus Joey and Robien. Obviously, the boys won. Bad thing is, Robien's smash scares me. When his smash's direction is to my face, I just bend down in fear. But it was good practice though. Then the next game was Joey and I versus Hannah and Robien. I forgot who won but all I remember that it was a really funny game. We kept on calling Robien WU CHUN, Ate Danica BARBIE XU and Joey DAO MING SHU. Lmao.
It all started when we were on our way back to Smashville and there were a lot of Chinese people along the shops in the street. Ate Danica suddenly said, "Oi mo-agi si Wu Chun!", which was referring to Robien. Then Joey told Ate Dan that she's Barbie Xu and we all agreed that Joey is Dao Ming SHU. And I'm the bodyguard. Hahaha.

Anyway, we ate pancakes after training and we all decided to eat durian at Farmers all out of impulse. It's Kadayawan after all! Come on. So the people who were there are Ate Danica, Darlene, Jp, Hannah, Robien, my dad, Hannah's mom, Jp's dad, Miko and I. The parents were talking about why the prom must go on and I was really amused by the stories that Hannah's mom said about her JS prom. We ate 2 big durians and the great thing was my dad and Hannah's mom paid. ANGEL AND JOEY. YOU SHOULD HAVE BEEN THERE! So, we decided to eat durian again after the Emcor tournament. It's so much fuuuun. Durian is LOVE.

When I got home, NBS called and said they have Breaking Dawn already. ALLELUIA FINALLY!!!!!!!!! I get to read the last part of the Twilight Saga! More werewolf loving for me. Teehee.

PICS PICS PICS!!! I'm lazy to put captions.. Sorry.

Badminton is officially a drug to me. I love the adrenaline rush.

PS. I wanna say thanks to Tito Arnold for the Nike shirt! I hope you guys win tomorrow in the championship. My dad's gonna be there to cheer! Hahaha. XD

I'm currently experiencing writer's block now. It doesn't feel nice, really.

I have ideas running through my head but it isn't concrete enough to be written in pen and paper. I'm having seconds about passing my story as my English project. Writing a story like what I'm making is tedious work and it takes at least a year to finish and revise it. So, I'm thinking of passing my blog entries starting from October 12 (the day I turn 16, obviously) until the time comes to pass the project. Then maybe as a teaser, I could include fragments of my story, or whatever parts I have compeleted and revised. If I get to finish my story by December or early January, then I'm passing it as my project. But, I'm also considering in taking time in writing my story since hurrying up won't make it really good. I'm trying my best in making this darn story of mine, even if I'm only stuck writing the rising action of the story and the ending. I really, really need a fallback in having a sense of fulfillment in case my research paper doesn't really give me that kind of satisfaction (we're trying our best for it to succeed. RRL, here we come!). So I'll just take one day at a time in writing my story and really, really give my heart into it. I asked Hachi to read some parts that I made and I'm really glad that she liked it. Gaaaah, I know I'll finish this.

I will finish that darn story. I really need to learn how to fulfill the promises I make to myself.

I'll talk about my day today. I got up early since my mom asked me to accompany her when she takes her CT Scan. After that, we went to Paramount to get my blouses and then to NCCC to buy some stuff in the grocery. Then we went home and I went online and joined Twilight Coven PH (Twilight's Philippine Fanbase!). I also made an icon for my avatar using Photoshop and then after that, I left home for training. The people who were there was Angel, Hannah, Darlene, Jp, Jaycon, Paolo, Ate Danica and Joeyboy. I'm glad that Hannah and I got to practice our rotation since we're competing in a tournament in two weeks. After training, my dad and I played a game with Hannah and Kuya Randy. Kuya Randy and my dad were teammates so that Hannah and I could practice more. After that, I got dressed and joined the others in the cafe. I ate some tofu chips and drank C2 while having more chit chat with the people. Did I mention Chia and Che were also there? Hahaha. They went swimming and Che's little bro tagged along. After some chit chat, my dad got dressed after hitting the gym and we went home. I ate dad's special bacon (it's really good!) with rice for dinner and I'm drinking Nesvita to aid my digestion. Meat's hard to digest you know. Do you want me to track it down for ya? Lol. My dad also contacted some companies where I could possible have my internship. It's really weird that my dad knows a lot of people from almost every professional field but it's an advantage to me this time. So far, Mincor already allowed me to intern there. My dad's still contacting BMeg and McSomething, but I really really want to intern in RDL. It's the closest thing I have to cosmetics here. I wanted to intern in Avon but it's in Manila. That's why I wanna take up Chemical Engineering. I want to put up my own cosmetics company, in honor of my darling mother who's fondness of cosmetics (particularly perfumes, body butters and lotions) inspired me to formulate that goal. Another promise to myself. I MUST FULFILL IT!

Now I'm listening to Goodbye by Air Supply. I just loooove this song. I could imagine the part where Edward said goodbye to Bella in New Moon since he was about to leave, and they were in the forest.

I would rather hurt myself
Than to ever make you cry
There's nothing left to say
But... goodbye.

I didn't blog yesterday since I was too engrossed with typing and editing my story for English.

I'm really, really serious about this story. I need to feel a sense of fulfillment, despite the fact that I never ever finished one of those crappy fanfictions I made (that's why I prefer oneshots!). So far, I've written the climax part of the story and I'm currently writing the ending. I couldn't think of what to write in the beginning, the rising action and the denouement of the story. I don't think there will be a denouement in my project. Anyway, I started writing a serious draft yesterday during Math class when we were finished with the exercise. I'm finding it easier to write the parts that I could already imagine and I'll just find a way to make the fragments I make coherent. Also, I need major proofreading since I have problems with my grammar. I'm not really confident about my grammar sometimes, but I still insist on writing in English because it is waaaay easier than writing in Filipino.

Now I'm torn between school work, badminton practice, reading Eclipse and making my story (which I don't consider as school work so that I won't take it with mediocrity). I'm currently in Chapter 10 of Eclipse and I'm thinking of devoting my weekends to lab reports and and reading the book. I could just write my story in school, when I am super duper boooored.

Speaking of lab reports, we have one long one due next week since we did Blood Typing and Clotting Time simultaneously. It was a lot of fun since I got to prove that my blood type is really A. What was funny was Niña said that she's an AB but it turned out to be B when we tested her blood. Same thing happened to Marvin. He said he was an A but in the test results, he was an O. Maybe I'll post some pics next time. I'm going to type what I wrote for my story after this. I'm really putting my heart and soul into it, really.

I will finish the story. I will send a copy to Korea so that the boys of FT Island would read it. After all, my story was inspired from their Japanese song, right? XD

I woke up today feeling that this day wouldn't be that good. When you're happy, there's always sadness in exchange. Hay, life.

I was glad today that I got to train in badminton again after, 2 weeks? It was only Hannah and I who were there since Darlene went to Nikki's birthday party, Jp was tired and I don't know what happened to Angel. Anyway, we basically did rotations a while ago and Hannah and I already filled up the entry forms for the Emcor Tournament. Kuya Mitch also told us that his good friend committed suicide. It was Topet who actually told us about it but we were so intrigued that we just had to ask Kuya Mitch. According to Kuya Mitch, his friend committed suicide since his girlfriend of 4 years broke up with him or something and the poor dude hung himself. I wonder if he used rope or electrical wire (to those who watched the Mano Po movie where Angel Locsin and Richard Gutierrez where the lead characters, you'd get what I mean). After training, my dad and I left to fetch my mom in the Imperial Hotel. After that, we got the laundry and went home. I had super duper spicy jjamppong (IT'S NOT THE CHEAP LUCKY ME ONES OKAY?) and it's "chili-ness" still lingers on my lips. Hahaha.

Just this morning, I watched Good Morning America and the cast of Rent was there. I haven't seen Rent yet but I heard it was really good. I even remember my cousin posting something in Myspace that she got to watch Rent in a theatre and Jai Rodriguez (your culture vulture in Queer Eye) was part of the cast. Cool huh? Also, the cast performed Seasons of Love in Good Morning America. I just love love love that song. It makes my heart jump. Hahaha.

I also found some facts about Rent the movie that amazed me.

1. The one who played Maureen in the movie is also the one who played Patrick Dempsey's girlfriend in Enchanted. She's the one who ended up with James Marsden (whose role in Enchanted was the prince who kept on saying cheesy stuff) in Enchanted.

2. The director of Rent the movie is also the director of the first 3 Harry Potter movies. Amazing. =))

----------

Do you think I'd leave without posting random pics? Hahaha.




----------

I'd end this entry with the song that makes my heart jump (yuck ang corny ko, sorry ha), Seasons of Love from the musical, Rent. I'm gonna watch A Very Special Love with my parents tomorrow because my dad said so. YES, my DAD. =))

You're the last ones I have
Don't fall apart, please.

Today is Saturday - Saturn's day. Hehehe. I woke up at around 8:30 already because I slept at around midnight last night. Before eating breakfast, I drank Psyllium (tama spelling) fiber so that I won't go hungry easily. Psyllium fiber is helpful in weight loss since it's a natural fat absorber. So for it to be used for weight loss, it must be taken in 30 minutes before eating. So yun ginawa ko. 30 minutes later, I wasn't that hungry so I resulted in eating Skyflakes with tuna. Yum. After eating breakfast, I took a bath since I'd be meeting Hannah and the rest at GMall. Manglibre si Hannah sa Pizza Hut kase birthday nya sa Tuesday. Wohoo! Then I got a text from Angel asking kung what time and where manglibre si Hannah kase gusto niya magsurprise entrance. Hehehe. I remember her telling us na di daw siya payagan. Anyway, while dressing up, I got to watch Pops In Seoul after I do not know how many years. I got to listen to some cool new songs (new for me since I'm not that updated in Kpop, except for FT Island related things) like One by Epik High (their MV has Jeong Ryu Won, the actress who played Kim Sam Soon!) and M Style by Lee Min Woo. Also, I got to see a glimpse of one of Rain's music videos when he was still the Justin Timberlake of South Korea (I think he still is now but it was more evident before. haha). The video was How To Escape The Sun and his dance moves were just, woah. It's better to watch Rain in his music videos dancing than seeing him dance in Clear commercials, seriouslyyy. Lmao. Want proof? Here's the music video!

It's Ahn So Hee! Haha.

While watching the show, I learned about a new portion there that you could tell a story of what's up with your life then request a song and if you have been chosen, you could win a prize! The story featured there was from kirihara from the Philippines (KABABAYAN NATIN ITO! WOHOO) and she shared something about her sister getting married (not sure about this, but something like it) and she requested One by Epik High. Madami talaga nanonood ng Pops In Seoul. Superrrr. Hahaha. Which is a good thing, by the way. Tumataas na ang chances na pumunta dito ang FT Island! Yeheeeey. So, I plan to join that whatever you call it thing in the show and I just wish I get chosen so that I could promote Paradiso. Talk about widespread advertising. Anyway, we left right after my dad got dressed since malelate na ako sa lakad ko.

When I got to GMall, the first one I saw was Hannah. So, we waited for the others. The others who came were Ate Danica, Darlene, Robien, Kuya Mitch and Roeland. Jp came in next, then Angel made her surprise entrance. Hahaha. We ordered 1 Cheesy Pops, 2 Triple Stuffed Crust (all 3 pizzas were Super Supreme), 3 Caesar Salads and I had a Black Forest for my drink. Siguro this means na hindi na dapat ako maging kuripot pagka nanglibre ako sa birthday ko.. Hehehe. Hannah, thanks sa libre!!! :) And duuuh. We camwhored again. Alangan eh. Hahaha.

After eating, Kuya Mitch had to leave since magtuturo pa siya ng Kids training sa Holiday. Paglabas namin, may nakita kaming tarp ni John Lloyd Cruz and napagtripan namin magpapicture dun kase sabi ni Ate Danica HOT DAW si John Lloyd. Hahahaha!

While on our way to the 2nd floor to get a pic taken sa Yoyong's, we ran into Shi-Em! (si JM, actually. haha). Tapos biglang nawala si Robien (ulit). When we got to the second floor, napagtripan namin pumasok sa loob ng Adidas kase may posters dun ng players ng Ateneo and Lasalle. Hehehe. Swerte ang AdMU and DLSU kase sponsor nila ang Adidas and they have really nice jackets. Lmao. And duuuuh. More camwhoring. Hehehe.

After that, we went to iCenter first to get Jp's iPod fixed and we also got to look around. Darrrrn. Nakita ko na yung iPod ko is 6k nalang and I got it for 13k. Oh welllll. That's life. Hahaha. And we got to take a picture using the Macbook Air displayed there. It wasn't as thin as I expected it to be but it was really nice. Apparently, a lot of people who tried using the Macbook Air on display took pics of themselves too using its built in camera. Hahaha.

After going to the iCenter, we went to Yoyong's to have our picture taken. Naaliw kami sa mga stuffed toys, mas lalo na si Roeland na sobrang aliw kay Snoopy. He looked like a lost little boy. LMAO.

After having our pic taken, may nakita akong store na nagbebenta ng shutter shades. So, I called Ate Danica's attention and the both of us hurriedly went inside. Hahaha unfortunately, they only sold the shades in red and green. Gusto sana namin white. Anyway, after that, we parted ways kase pupuntang Holiday si Dar, Hannah and Roeland, nagsama si Jp and Angel tapos sumama si Ate Danica sa akin dahil sabi ng dad ko na pupunta kami sa SM and may lakad si Ate Danica dun. So Ate Dan and I went to Pancake House and nung nakita namin sina Angel and Jp, sumama kami papuntang NBS but Ate Dan told me na mauna na siya kase baka malate siya sa kanyang lakad. So I went to NBS with Angel and Jp. I asked the customer service kung may Twilight na (for the nth time!) kaso wala pa daw. BOOHOO. Then I went to the books section to check out some books. I saw some Murakami books that seem interesting and I also saw some Tagalog romance novels (you know those really cheap ones? yeah those) with Angelina Jolie, Keira Knightley and Gisele Bündchen on the cover. OKAAAAY that was weird. Tska nagpakafeeling photographer nanaman ako so I took pics again. Waaah.

Nakita din namin si Ma'am Jenny sa NBS! Hehehe. After a while, I left na rin kase I sensed na my dad was done eating and timing talaga when I met my dad again in Pancake House kase he was done paying the bill and was about to leave na rin. So we went to SM to do the groceries. In the Fish section, I saw this super duper big fish with big scary eyes. As in it was positioned na parang center of attention siya. If you were there at SM supermarket kanina, you'd get what I mean, unless nabenta na siya at di mo na naabutan. Hehehe. Ohyeah, I saw Ma'am Janice there. Nagulat ako kase someone suddenly poked my tummy tapos yun pala si Ma'am Janice. Plus, I got used to seeing her in GMall. Lol. Anyway, here's the big fishie I've been talking about.

Cher Marie Tuazon, this is for you! Hahaha.

While my dad was gonna pay for the stuff we bought, I went to NBS to buy stuff that I needed for school. I saw a pen with pink ink! And no, it isn't a MyGel pen. It's Stabilo. Hahaha. After going to NBS, I went back to the grocery to meet my dad again and umalis na kami. We went to Damosa to pick up the laundry and we also went to the Swiss Deli to buy salad greens there and some other food stuff. After that, my dad told me that I drive when we get inside the village so that I could learn more. So went we got into the village, my dad and I switched seats and I drove our car. Don't believe me?

Believe me now. Haha. 3 months nalang pwede na ako! Yay.

When we got to the house, I brought all the stuff we bought and the laundry down with our maid and I went upstairs to finish my homework. So far, I already encoded my draft for Research and I'll do more fixing tomorrow. I also got to memorize like, 4 lines of Like The Molave and I've done until the data part of my Chem lab report. Maybe after this, I'd encode my composition in Filipino. Maybe I'd just cram my Chem lab report tomorrow since ideas come out of my mind easily when I cram. Hehehe. After that, I didn't each much for dinner and now I'm still stuck here. Roflmao. XD

And the reason why I didn't train is because I'm too damn tired. There's too much stuff to do. Also, we planned to join the Emcor badminton tournament this August. Okay lang sumali kase wala naman masyadong gagawin by that time. Partner ko si Hannah. Magpartner si Angel and Darlene, and Robien and Jp. Sasali kami ng Level F I think.. HAHAHA! =))

While surfing on Youtube, I came across this video while searching the MV of Make A Wish by Ellegarden. It's a Korean girl playing songs using her electric violin. Absolutely AMAZING. She has videos playing Canon Rock, Tears In Heaven and other stuff. And she even has the theme song of Friends! Lol. I highly recommend watching it! Dunno what her name is though. T_T By the way, she has the 6th most subscribed channel in South Korea. I wonder if the placed here on Star King already.. Haha.
