Kettle Corn
Today was pretty, blah. I think I didn't get much sleep since I slept at around 10pm and woke up at around 7am. I thought we were going to hear mass at 8 but instead, we ended up hearing mass at 11. After mass, we ate at Villa Margarita for lunch then headed straight for NCCC to watch Zohan. We were supposed to go to SM since I was planning to buy earphones (FINALLY!), reserve my copy of Breaking Dawn, buy pingpong balls for PE and to watch Zohan as well. Anyway, I prefer watching movies at NCCC sometimes since the seats in the movie houses are really comfy compared to the ones in SM. Also, they don't have premiere or deluxe seatings which is more practical, in my opinion. I still remember those days back in Manila when we'd opt to watch movies in cinemas with reserved seating. Gaaah I missed the reserved seatings. You don't need to make your life hard by finding a good seat. And the best part? When you buy food, they serve it to you inside the cinema. All you have to do it give your seat number. As far as I know, they do that in Podium.
Zohan was fun actually. In my opinion, it's quality borders between nothing special to crack (in a good way, of course). It was weird that they included the feud between the Israelis and the Palestinians in the movie, which was unexpected for me. I also wondered why the hell would Rob Schneider hate Adam Sandler in the movie mainly because Adam stole Rob's goat? That was awkward. Anyway, the movie really exaggerated the mannerisms of Middle Eastern people like the disco disco thing and going as far as Zohan using hummus as toothpaste. What I didn't like about the movie was that it showcased a lot of idiomatic inneundo. I mean, there are a lot of movies with idiomatic innuendo (like Meet The Fockers) but in this movie, old ladies and Zohan hit on each other prior to Zohan's marriage to Dalia. Imagine, super old ladies getting sticky with, Zohan. Totally unexpected, again. But regardless of the old ladies and the innuendo in the movie, the movie was a good laugh, especially as long as Fatoush (aka. Phantom) was around with his Muchentuchen. Whatever that is.. Lol.
After the movie, we went to the newsstand near the grocery to buy newspapers and I saw Ma'am Mendoza with her baby, Sam. SAM WAS SO FREAKING CUTE THAT I JUST KEPT ON POKING HIS CHEEKS. Haha. After that, we headed home and I had Nesvita and a sandwich for dinner.
Good news! I already wrote a possible prologue for my story. I also have thoughts on how to start the story and everything. I just need to organize my thoughts more. Maybe I'll write it all down tomorrow when I'm bored in school or something.

I read this article on rollingstone.com by Erica Futterman entitled 'Dawn of the Undead', which
was about the Twilight Phenomenon in America, specifically the Breaking Dawn concert series. I'll just quote the first paragraph which cracked me up real bad.

"It's a humid August afternoon outside the Nokia Theater in the middle of New York's Times Square, and a hundred girls have already been in line for up to 16 hours. They're holding posters, screaming and wearing T-shirts identifying themselves as members of Team Edward or Team Jacob. Most passersby assume Edward and Jacob are part a band, with one confused father asking his teenage son, "Is Jacob a Jonas brother?""
Fathers, fathers, fathers. They never run out of comments when their daughters obsess over boy bands and the like. My dad was really big on comments when I was into the F4 mania. However, he still hasn't commented on my addiction to werewolves and vampires maybe because they're fictional. My dad already commented on FT Island, by the way. He's been challenging me to read the product labels that are written in Korean because of that. Anyway, my parents also allowed me to have a t-shirt printed that says 'TEAM JACOB' or something like that. I was thinking of having this printed: "Imprinted last New Moon.." in the front; "..by Jacob Black." in the back. Or maybe, "Werewolves over vampires." I saw in PDI that someone wore a shirt with a bitten apple as a design and 'Bite me' was written beneath it. I was thinking of having a pawprint as a design and I'd have 'Imprint me' written under it. Hahahah so much for wishful thinking.
OH YEAH. I have a new layout! Actually I just changed the background, banner and other stuff. Maybe I'll make a new layout soon. I'm still thinking of a design that I could make out of scratch or something. XD

A mythical creature pwned me
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.
Than to ever make you cry
There's nothing left to say
But... goodbye.
See? The lyrics match that moment! Try imagining that part occur then at the same time that's the background music. Ouuuuch! But it's all good. Air Supply pwns. XD

I'm having shorter blogs these past two days. I think it's more practical while I'm preoccupied with other things. At least I get to update my blog regularly even if I'm busy or whatever. And I admit that I'm lazy to post pictures this time. I'm giving your browsers a break since a lot of people told me that their browsers lag when they visit my page due to the massive amount of pictures I post. So, I hope your browser doesn't lag now. *grins*

Jacob Black imprinted on me. And it feels great.
*giggles* Igata oi. T_T

No day but today
Whew.
I think I woke up quite early today compared to the last few days. I got to school at around 7:10, absolutely unprepared. I only scanned my Bio book, not read and understand it to be perfectly honest. Bio was the first subject and I could feel my brain telling me to drift into a light slumber, since I slept late last night reading New Moon. Thank God I was able to fight my sleepiness. We also had a quiz, and I think I'll flunk that one the same way I did in the first pretest. Anyway, I'm expecting it anyway so I won't feel bad and crap. Filipino was next and, we had this thing with essays. Quite easy. Then we had a lab activity in Physics. I didn't pay much attention since I was too engrossed in finishing New Moon. HAHAHA. No wonder why Winona doesn't want to read the Twilight Series. It's because it's addicting, according to what she observed (observe me and you'll agree with Winona, I sweaaar). It is addicting, simple as that. Anyway, we had Socsci next and I got a freaking 83/100 in the exam. One more point to get a 1.50! Daaarn. I just hate it when my grades are "hanging" on the borderline. It could be an advantage, or not. It's an advantage because a point can change your whole grade. It's not an advantage because you'd be pissed when you find out your grade's hanging. Oh well, life is unfair. Boohoo. Then Chem was up next. I really enjoyed the exercise because the Ion-Electron method of balancing redox reactions is easier than the oxidation number method. It's longer and more time consuming, but getting the right answer has bigger chances. Ma'am Gigi also suggested some good books to me when she found me reading New Moon like a drug addict. She told me to read books by Eric Seagal (did I spell the name right?) since his books were the "in thing" during her time as a high school student in Pisay. I'll go check out the books when I have time. After Chem was lunch and I ate Arroz ala Cubana without eggs and bananas, but with ketchup. After lunch we had Math and we had a new lesson, which was quite easy to understand. We also got to compute our grades and I got a 1.25. I was hoping that I'd get a 1.00 but I didn't since I was like a drunk pimp when I answered one quiz in Math. Anyway, 1.25's okay for me. At least it's good for a 1st quarter grade compared to what I had during the 1st and 2nd year. 2.25 in Math 1, 2.00 in Math 2 and 1.75 in Math 3. See? I could just pull up my grades anyway. After Math was English, and I remember that we had to make an essay based on the picture of the African kid that we saw and we need references. Now, where to find references. I don't know where. Daaarn.
After English was the IQ test. It was okay, and I guessed around 5 items only. Then the meeting about our internship. Ma'am Mendoza informed us to submit 3 possible companies where we could intern. I was thinking of Avon or Nestle in Manila but my parents told me it was better if I had my internship here. So I was thinking of applying in Philippine Eagle but it was too far from our house. So my dad suggested that I'd intern in BMeg (the plant where they make the pig feeds), and my mom suggested that I'd intern in RDL since she's aware of my inclination towards cosmetics. But I was thinking of applying somewhere that a friend would be there, to make things fun. However, we're only to give 3 possible places where we could intern but the teachers will assign us where. Whatever, I'll take my chances. L O L.
After classes, I was really glad that I got to catch up with Gilleanne on what was up with each others' lives. I kept on blabbing on how much I adore Jacob Black and Gilleanne told me what was up with, you know. I'm really glad for her. It feels nice talking to a friend who you haven't been communicating with for quite a long time. So when you find time to talk to each other again, there's so much to talk about. I missed Gill
I got down at Assumption (again) and bought dinner at McDonalds since no one cooked dinner at home. It's been quite a long time since my system digested fast food, so I don't know what will happen to me tomorrow. I love burgers and all but sometimes, I don't want to eat burgers. It feels absolutely weird. So I just ate a chicken sandwich, fries and now I'm drinking Nesvita to "neutralize" all the junk I took in today. I'm still not losing weight so, I guess I won't keep my hopes high.
I AM FINALLY DONE WITH NEW MOON. Now I shall embark on my journey in reading Eclipse. Hahahaha. A lot of people told me that Eclipse was the best book so far, but I read in Angel's blog that Breaking Dawn was the best for her. All I know is that Eclipse was way more exciting than New Moon since New Moon focuses on Bella's depression because Edward's gone and everything then Jacob makes her happy then Jacob and Bella fight in the end of the book. Whatever may happen, I still like Jacob more since he's more, real. Edward's skin is described as ice cold and his chest is described like stone or marble. I remember getting tummy aches when I lie on my stomach in the marble floors we had back in our home in Manila (I'm feeling nostalgic. I miss that big old bungalow..). So I don't think hugging a vampire with ice cold skin will make me feel cozy. Sorry Edward fans.
I also found out that the Twilight books here are cheap because they reprint the books here, most likely in Manila. It's like the official publishers of the books give rights to printing companies here to reprint the books. No wonder why the books are only, 300+ pesos. Maybe that answers why some of the Paulo Coelho books I have are only around, 150-200 pesos? It's just, surprising. It's a good thing anyway since the books are affordable. But, why is Harry Potter 7 still PhP 1450?! I'll only buy it when it's PhP899, like my HP6 book. Hahaha I'm being frugal, yo!
It feels weird not having assignments. It always feel weird, actually. I'm thinking of watching Hangeul Island right now. But no, I'll set Wonbin aside first for Jacob Black. HAHAHA. Fictional characters are fun to crush on because it's you who creates the way he looks, according to what you like. I imagine Jacob with short hair, even if he has long hair in the movie (can't they just alter the hair and make it short? seriouslyyyyyyyy). I imagine Edward, looking like Robert Pattinson. I couldn't think of any face for Edward eh. I knew it was Cedric Diggory who's gonna be a vampire!
From a Quidditch playing wizard, to a blood thirsty vampire. What an evolution.
So right now, I'm gonna start reading Eclipse. And I'll find a way to get hold of National's number so I could call them and get my copy of Breaking Dawn, FAST!

Did you get to read Aldrin's GM? The one where he chatted with Amiel.
Hahaha. No need to speculate. It's not that obvious, really.

Heighten each sensation
Waking up today was better than yesterday, even if my dad had to wake me up. I remember having a body clock programmed to always wake up at 4:30 am even if it was summer vacation. I guess it's different now. I was planning to wake up at 4:00 am to study Bio, and my alarm clock blasted Epik High's song so loud that I woke up. Unfortunately, I changed my mind and drifted back to sleep. An hour and a half later, my dad woke me up telling me that it was already 5:30. Geeeeeez. I need more sleep. Haha.
Just a random thought. I just love waking up then finding out that it's only 2:00am or something. I get a lot of sleep from that situation. I often find myself being sleepy already at around 8:00 pm. Yes, I do blog even if I'm sleepy. It feels nice to chronicle whatever happens in your daily life and after a couple of years, you look back and you laugh at yourself for being highly emotional when you were 16. I even laugh at myself when I think about the time when I threatened to kill myself when I was in the 5th grade because my classmates kept on teasing me (I forgive my classmates anyway, haha. we were pesky kids back then). I even laugh at myself whenever I remember I was such a big freaking F4 fan even if F4 was not that famous here anymore. I still listen to their music once in a while and check how they've been doing but I'm not fangirl crazy as before. I'm done with Taiwanese boybands. I'm going Korean now. *ehemehemFTISLANDehemehem*
Maybe right now I'll start to write in fragments. Don't expect much coherence from me right now. I'll make sure the sentences in each paragraph are coherent but I don't think I'd make my paragraphs coherent. I won't do this all the time, just sometimes. Okay? Sometimes.
I'll start, now.
I seriously wanna slap someone right now. I never got acquainted with being plastic, or so. Maybe I was years back but now, I don't think so. I simply avoid people I don't like and I make sure I only have minimal interaction with them. Anyway, this person is seriously getting on to my nerves. I bet that person's getting into the nerves of others as well.
The loudness is making my sensitive ears bleed. Please don't mind me. I have this little world of my own where I constantly imagine that I'm Bella Swan (BECAUSE OF JACOB BLACK!). And then sometimes, I imagine that I taught the FT Island boys how to defend themselves then their stylists turn them into girls (who's with me? haha). I noticed that I haven't been fangirling that much since I'm too busy with school work and reading the Twilight series. The primary reason why I visit Parad right now is to check on how the site's doing, are there new members, and the like. Also, I leave messages on the Cbox to say hi to the usual people I see there like Ate Nins, Pebbles, Kix and the others. So far, I haven't been seeing Cher (who's busy, I'm sure. okay lang yan pre), Ate Danah (who will be starting her OJT in the hospital this month) and Hachi (who's busy as well). I just wish that Parad would be more active so that when I get my fat a** in Manila for college, I would get to see FT Island without riding a plane for an hour and a half. So now, I'm just hoping and praying that FT Island would come soon. Hahaha. Anyway.
Today was normal. Pretty much the same routine I have in every passing day. I got to see my grade in Stat and I got 1.50. Not bad eh. I'm not expecting much, either. We got to watch some documentary in Socsci about child laborers and Nyka had a "crush" on this kid named Bobbi featured in the docu since the narrator described him as fair skinned and good looking. Seriously? I think the narrator just said that for emphasis. Then after lunch was Bio. I tried to stop myself from sleeping again. I guess I felt sleepy because I had a really good lunch. Math was okay. Freaking bonus quiz. I think I only got one answer correctly.
English was fuuuun, as usual. Jihad was assigned to present something about Africa (since our next topic is African Literature) since he's be blabbing about the fact that he's, well, "black". The cool thing about his presentation was he made his own language and asked JB to be his "translator". I'm pretty sure everyone got a really good laugh at that one, including Ma'am Annie. Anyway, we were also asked to write in a Manila paper our answers to the questions: "What do you want to know about Africa?" and "What have you learned about Africa?". My answer to the 1st question is, 'Are they aware that Fall Out Boy has a music vid featuring them?' and my answer to the 2nd questions is 'Oprah loves Africans'. Also, we were assigned to do some research about African tribes assigned to us. I chose the Maasai, mainly because I recall my dad meeting some of them in a business trip to Kenya years back. Maybe my dad could dish in some info, and maybe some pics. :D
Some quotes from English class!

I got to watch half of Rent already! Yay! Hahaha.

I wish I were Bella Swan.
By then, I would be Jacob's 'honey'.
Ewww. Did I just say that?!
Lmao I think I did.

Homework time. Bye. :)

"Women expose their chests."
"They're so cute!"
LOL.
So right now, I'm supposed to do my homework. No random pics this time. I wanna do my homework ASAP so I could read more New Moon, even if I get jelly when Jacob calls Bella 'honey'. Darn."..NO! It's for fashion!"

Soyogi so soggy
Warning: Spoiler alerts to those who are still reading Twilight, especially to Janyn (she asked me not to spoil anything. haha).
My day started as a blast in the ear. I'd prefer if you don't ask me why. But, everything's okay now. I hope that's enough to convince you not to ask me why.
Mondays determine what my week would be. If I started out okay, the whole week will be ok. If not, chances of not having a good week is high. My day didn't start out right today since I scrambled here at home trying to look for the Bayani of the Week forms. After I found the forms, I hurriedly took a bath, got dressed, and ate breakfast. After eating, I hurriedly got my things and left the house. When I got to Earvin's house, I was glad that I wasn't late compared to the past few days. Also, Earvin gave me a Krispy Kreme since he told me that they had a lot. Sugar keeps me temporarily euphoric which was a good thing because I didn't want to show up in school looking like a drunken little piggy. The theme for today's flag ceremony is frugality- something I am not good at. I could be frugal at times (especially when I bring my own food to school) but I'm not really that frugal since I spend quite an amount of money when I buy books and when I play badminton (500 a month isn't that bad. it's the equipment that makes it costly. when my racket's gut gets busted, i need to buy those Yonex guts to make sure that the gut's really sturdy. talk about being brand conscious but hey, it's more practical than buying cheap guts often, right?). Ahhh spending money on the books. As my mom said, "Spend your money on books. Wait for your relatives to give you a digicam". Sure mom, whatever you say. I have fun reading the books anyway. I'm currently in Chapter 16 of New Moon. XD Anyway.
I got to see my other exam scores. Here's what I got:
Chem - 80/90. One more point to make it 1.25. It hurtssss.
Comsci - 48/60. No comment.
English - 63/70. Reasonable. Not bad. ;)
As for my Research exam, I think I got minus 20 in my partial score. I don't really mind anyway, for some reason. You can't blame me, I studied only an hour before the exam! Procrastinating works for me, really. But the outcome, varies. Hahaha. I'm so defensive, sorry for that. After Research, I found bliss in reading New Moon. I'm starting to be fascinated by the Jacob-Bella team up now. I don't really remember them admitting to each other that they love each other or something. I thought that that part would come up somewhere in the book but I just got shocked when Jacob called Bella 'honey'. Wow. So I guess them being a couple is, implied? Whatever.
I'm seriously starting to like Jacob over Edward. I mean, I didn't find myself getting all 'kilig' and stuff with Edward (except the fact that Bella says he looks like a god). Jacob really made me 'kilig', seriously. Maybe it was because I knew all along that Edward was a vampire and I just recently knew that Jacob was a werewolf. My mind was stuck to the thought that Jacob was purely human but he was a werewolf. So, I guess that explains why I think Jacob makes me more 'kilig' than Edward. Anyway, I'll just continue reading so that I'll find out what happens next.
After school, I finally got to release whatever I was feeling the carpool. All I needed was a friend to be there and I just had to let it all out. Good thing Che and the others were there to listen and give advice. Thanks guys, I really owe it to all of you. ;) I felt absolutely relieved after being emo and stuff and I got to watch a part of Rent in Jp's iPod! Yay! Hahaha. I'm stopped at the part where Mark and Joanne finally got to see each other for the first time. It would have really sucked for Mark since his girlfriend (Maureen) dumped him for another girl. Poor guy. But hey, that's the story. I have nothing against it. The parts of the movie I've seen were good so far, and I'm sure there's a lot more good stuff in the coming parts that I haven't seen yet.
I got down at Assumption to meet my parents there. After hearing Mass, we headed home and I got to eat dinner. While eating, they reported in the news that they're (who ever THEY are) will give the 1st Filipino olympic gold medalist P15 million and a car. Errrrr, seriously? If I were them, I'd use the money to train the athletes so that there's a bigger chance of getting a gold medal. No offense, but really. Having your name written down in history is waaaay more valuable than 15 million pesos. Don't you agree? Hahaha, I know you do. Kidding. But I prefer if you did. Hahaha.
Now I'm here blogging as if I made money out of blogging. I just wish I had this knack for writing really good and substantial stuff and having it posted online, the newspaper (YES ALLY I ENVY YOU. HAHA) or wherever as long as I could promote my blog (yeah yeah, go laugh if you want to. i AM desperate). I'm supposed to be doing my reading assignment for Bio but, I'll just set it aside for later. Anyway, back to my frustration in writing good stuff. I remember Ma'am Annie telling us about our English project due in January. We could do whatever. We could compile basically any composition that we made. As for me, I really really really want to make a story. I have a plot BUT, I just don't know how to start the story.
I'd probably start writing my story once I've had an overdose of daydreaming. I just don't know when I could fit in some time to daydream. Ha, ha, ha.

Werewolves over vampires.
That's the way to go.
