Today was a good day. I feel a little spoiled though when I found out that the art mediums my teacher has been giving us were for us to keep! OMG. JUST. AWESOME. I haven't used them yet... but I will soon. I also found out that my maternal grandfather might have a chance to finally come here in Canada. I really hope he passes the health test or something... I want to ask him questions about the past and have conversations with him. I feel pretty good about my physics test too, let's hope I did well!
Uhmm what else.. oh chyeaah. It was naice talking to youu todaii. :]
My friends and I went to Pho again.. they were craving that's why. I didn't have any money, so Kristine and Jomar rock, paper, scissored so that one of them can pay for me. lol.
Thanks Lanie... even though my birthday was two months ago. lol jks. I think this is really nice. Remember what I said? That gifts made by hand was waaay better than a gift that is bought. Unless it was expensive and that person worked hard for the money and stuff lol. I'll shall do the same for you ahahahahaha.. but what to do.. I'm running out of ideas to give! Oh well.. as long as my heart is in it, then a hand-made gift should be enough..right? :)
I was doing physics all afternoon and decided to join the tokbox that my friends invited me to. I wasn't gonna, since I was almost done my questions..but since my friend Kristine said that Jomar wanted me online, I decided that maybe he can help me with my homework. Well.. at least he tried. lols. We ended up just chatting on tokbox and had some few laughs (OMG JOMAR, our eyes are scarred lol) while doing schoolwork at the same time. I got so distracted that I....... FORGOT to take a picture! OMGOGMGOGM. asfghjklasdfghjkl. I wasn't thinking straight. I was going to take a picture earlier.. but got sidetracked by my thoughts. asdfghjklasdfghjkl. THIS.IS.SO.SADDENING. Discouraging... when I found out that I missed September 27th just by 27 mins... I died a little. I can't believe I forgot to take a picture... if I only I took a picture earlier or before I went on tokbox... then this wouldn't be the case.
I told myself, "you know... in other parts of Canada... it's actually 1 or more hours earlier.." It still didn't help though. Man.. just by 27 mins..and I missed it. gaah. I feel like this whole 365 project has lost it's meaning. sigh. But I will finish it though.. hopefully.
My family noticed how yellow the trees were. Since my cousin is new here, they told her that we'd be taking pictures outside of our house when we get home from church. Yeeah we took a lot of pictures. We ended up having our own family photoshoot lol.
Whenever we go to church, I always try to listen to what the priest is saying. I REALLY do! The only problem? I can't understand what he's saying! There would be times when I get the beginning but then later on he says a sentence that is too accented for me to understand. I'm not trying to be racist here... it's just that it sucks when I can't understand what he's saying and I end up thinking about other things while pondering around the church. Like today, I was really paying attention to his words hoping I won't lose him. Then his accent becomes blurry and instead of paying attention to the message, I pay attention to when I can understand him again. :( Then I lose my thoughts and think of other things. I really try to listen... oh well. Hmmm I wonder how many people feel the same way as I do too?
About two months ago we had this event called "Kids Village" for Kids for Christ. We were supposed to have an after party but due to a busy summer, they decided to postponed it.. until now. We had the party today and I got to see the R.O.C.K Leaders whom I haven't seen for a while. I also found out something, that I'm socially awkward.
I think it's more like... I've realized that I am socially awkward. I just didn't took the time to understand why I'd feel uncomfortable with people sometimes. I'm not THAT awkward... just a little more than a little bit. Like today for example. There was this guy. I don't know him that much but I can definitely say that we've gotten closer.. otherwise he wouldn't talk to me lol. Anyway, we talked to a point where I just became silent.. nodding my head and saying "yeah" "uh-huh" and "idunno". I didn't know what else to say.. I got nervous and so the conversation was dying off and I pretended that I was paying attention to the gaming corner. Then we stopped talking. gah. I really wanted to talk more.. it's just that the moment became awkward. Err.. I became awkward. :( Iunno. Maybe I'm socially awkward to certain types of people. There was this other guy who talked to me and we had a good conversation. It wasn't awkward or anything, we just talked. I didn't feel awkward at all and I wanted to keep on talking but we were interrupted when the MC was called to say something. I think that when a person has an interest in talking to me and more on the subject that we have a say and know about... then the moment isn't awkward for me. Especially when that person tries to converse more, then I'm more likely to feel comfortable than if he or she shows some sort of disinterest. Does that make any sense? Iunno.. Maybe that other guy made me awkward because he was also beginning to feel awkward too. Maybe I'm not socially awkward.. maybe I become uncomfortable when the other person feels the same way too or when that person loses interest in the subject (and I know about it). sigh. I'm all over the place aren't I? *deep breath* Okay, that's it for tonight. Byee.
After school my friends and I decided to watch a scary movie at Sunridge Cineplex. But before that, we waited at school and saw two lacombers (who were going to watch a different movie with Jomar)! OMG QUY! I haven't seen you in soo loooong! I wished I could've hanged out with you that day but since I had other plans, I hope to hang out with you on a different time! ANYWAY, I gave Quy and Maria big hugs since we don't see them too much... especially Quy :) After that, we headed to the theatre via Louie's car. He has this really big stereo and so we could feel the beat of the music as we sang along to the songs. The movie didn't start until one hour later, so we did other stuff until then. I think the only people who screamed during the movie was Kristine and I.... I screamed a little ONLY because Kristine was beside me and her head was at my shoulders hiding. Whenever she screamed I have the tendency to scream with her LOL. After that we went to Sunridge Mall to "window shop". I wasn't planning on buying anything, but then I saw this SUPERMAN T-SHIRT and I couldn't resist not buying it! Today is the premier of Smallville and so I decided to buy it on impulse. I regret it a little bit though. >.<
Sigh. I wasn't really myself at the mall. And so I got mad over the little things that surprisingly hurt me. Then I thought about the other problems I had.. and I added it to the moment. If you both knew just what you did... I think you both can relate. But I'll let it go I guess.
P.S. Thanks Jill for the text :) I'll keep you in mind when I need someone to talk to.
My math teacher gives us stickers when we do well on our assignments, quizzes and test. They are actually scented stickers! I like the smell of this one :)
After school, Jomar and I decided to stay for the Hero's Project to practice the worship songs along with other dedicated christian schoolmates. We were only supposed to stay there for a few minutes (bus wasn't going to come for a while), but Mr. Sanesh wasn't done talking yet and we didn't want to interrupt him. He took a while, so we stayed :) I'm actually glad I stayed.. if I didn't then I'd have to hold Nathaniel for two hours lolol. NOT that I don't want to hold him, it's just that I get tired of holding him for too long. But when I did got home, my dad was having fun playing with him. I guess it's a win win situation in a way? Anyway, it's my dad's birthday today and so we decided to throw him a little mini party by cooking good food and making him blow his birthday candle on his birthday cake. lol. I heard that most adults would rather not celebrate their birthday nor blow any candle from a birthday cake... since it's a reminder that they're getting older. I'm not sure about my dad though.. I didn't catch him saying anything so we made sure that he goes along with the occasion lolol.
This season's first episode of Glee would've been much more exciting if I got to hear what the characters were saying. If only my family were a little bit more quieter and asked less questions about what's happening, then it would've been an awesome first episode for me. Don't get me wrong though, I really was excited to watch Glee with them too, but I think next time I'll be watching Glee by myself lol. One thing that's bothering me though was how my mom and auntie kept on asking where Charice was. I thought they would be interested in the show itself... but their minds were focused on seeing her sing and act. I kinda guessed that would happened- since they haven't seen the first season and suddenly they hear a filipino star acting on Glee. Iunno, it kinda hurt my feelings just a little pffftt..lol. Oh yeah, during the commercials, I would try and do some math before the show comes on. I failed miserably... the commercials were entertaining that's why ahahah.
I forgot how these little Oh Henry bars tasted. So I opened one (which I got from English class lol) and chewed a piece off it. IT.WAS.GOOD. All the more reason to go trick or treating? Heck yeah!
On a different note...hope I see you tomorrow.. :]
I tried to make it look like an old photo...did it work? I think it worked okay. Anyway, my mom is starting to feed Nathaniel with food other than milk. He needs to get used to eating these types of food soon. Even though I prefer him drinking milk (I read somewhere that the longer a baby is fed with milk, the smarter that baby is lol). Think those kinds of things are real? Hmmm..iunno...maybe?
Not a very productive day. Though I did do my physics lab. Besides that, I wasted my day thinking. I should have went to the Covenant Orientation for YFC. I would've met new members if I did. Not only that, to remember what it means to be in Youth for Christ. sigh. I feel like I'm missing a lot. But I'm excited about next weekend though. We get to have a party for Kids for Christ! Looking forward for that one :) Oh, and yeah I almost forgot about this drawing. But if I hadn't posted an update, well here it is.. it's Kurt from Glee. lol too obvious so why not say who.
Today was so much fun! After school we headed to the store at Taradale to buy some ingredients for us to bake. We then walked to Jill's house for a looong time but had some good exercise too lol. Since Jill's parents owned a pizza business, her mom provided us with pizzas, poutine and chicken popcorn. We ate like pigs. lolol. We played some piano and sang, then we went on with baking our brownies.. while still eating at the same time haha. We played cards (signal, big two and speed) and later on went to the park with the foster kids. It was cold outside but we still went on. I took pictures of my friends while they were finding flat rocks to skip it on the lake. After a while we found a dead bird at the edge. Kristine suggested that we should pray for the dead bird. Did you? lol I can't remember. I took some more pictures and found that my hands were getting really cold! After a while we headed back to Jill's house. She made us hot chocolate with marshmallows on top. Our brownies were actually done and so we gathered around to grab a piece. It was a SUCCESS! It tasted good, but it was a little too sweet. After eating and finishing up our hot chocolates, we went to the basement to play Mario Kart Wii. It was funny how we chose sides and kept on screaming and shouting hoping one doesn't fall off the race LOLOL. We also played Rock Band and later on headed to Jill's room just to talk and stuff. It was the funniest time of the day actually, and we kept on laughing on the random things we talked about. I haven't laughed so hard in a while, it really was an epic fun day. SLUMBER PARTY NEXT TIME?! pfft ahahah.
After school my friends and I decided to go to Pho to eat. Their restaurant was actually renovated and so the place looks waaay better than before. HOWEVER, they have less things on the table. It's cleaner and all, but I liked how there were tissues, chopsticks, little spoons and stuff for us to grab before. Now we have to ask them if we could have more of what they didn't give us. >.< They also have a different type of candy available on the cashier counter.. coffee candy. It has an after taste though, hopefully they change that.
...
For art class, we were given four projects to do. One of those four is a vanity painting. We had to pick objects that represent vanity and so my friends got those objects and put them together in a composition for us to paint. I'm not good in painting, so I hope I can tackle this challenge and get it done before the deadline!
I was having fun just holding my baby brother BUT THEN he moved his fingers and scratched a little bit of my arm. It hurt. lol. And so I told my mom that his fingernails were in dire need of cutting. So she told me to cut it. And so I did. But while I was cutting his fingernails, he kept on moving and moving. And so it was hard to cut them off. But I eventually finished. Hoorah :D
The guitar and the wooden manikin are actually separate. Because the guitar was small enough for the wooden manikin... I thought it would be cool to combine them together. And now I think I'm going to be doing a series of these... LOL. It's just cool to see a world in a different perspective. Here's a world of a wooden manikin who got a new guitar. And now he's showing it off. Hahaa.
Arielle's dad is a VERY good cook. He's also good with catering special occasions. He actually catered the Silver Wedding that took place last Saturday. Many people noticed his talent and now he is getting calls from people who want him to cater special occasions. With patience, time, and God's blessings, he is now thinking of taking one step forward and make a family restaurant and catering business. Since I'm part of the family, I'm going to be helping them out too. It's going to be a long road until we have our own place for this family restaurant! Hopefully things work out! Oh yeah, in this picture, Arielle is wearing her Halloween costume. She's excited. lol
After school my friends from Father Lacombe met up with Jomar and I to hang out at his house. We planned to watch a scary movie and ended up watching Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginning. But before that we couldn't choose what to watch. We watched trailers of other scary movies and spent a large amount of time searching lol. We were going to watch Orphan but came across TCM: The Beginning (full movie with parts) on Youtube. So we watched that on Jomar's big screen TV (there was a connector from the laptop to the TV). Yanna left earlier so it was just the three of us. It's a gory movie which kept us hiding under our blankets or hands (lols) and also made us shout and scream and shake. Whenever I watch something intense or scary with someone, I sometimes go beside one person or two and grab hold to them. And then there's times when that intense part comes in and I suddenly just release all the shouting and shaking to that person LOLS. Or share that shaking and shouting when we feel mutual of the situation in the movie! (Kristine LOLS) ANYWAY I was on the computer all day today after that. Lame. Then at night I watched another movie: Frozen. It was intense! I paid attention to the characters and what they were feeling and what I'd feel if it happened to me... and the thought made my stomach sick. Anyway, I thought it was a good movie because I felt that connection and feeling.. but I wished I didn't watch it at night. Now I'd have to go to bed feeling like this but I'm going to wake up feeling thankful that I'm safe. Watch it if you will. Goodnight!
A friend asked me if I wanted a bracelet made from her. I said, "SURE!" And now I'm wearing it. lol. I got to choose the colors and so I picked green, yellow and blue. I actually have this friendship bracelet kit that my mom bought years ago. I was supposed to start making one during the summer for this kid that saw the kit in my room. She asked me if I could make her a bracelet twice and so I noted it to a sticky note and posted it to the left where I could see it. But I kept delaying and finally forgot about it. Gaah. I'm such a bad role model. pfftt. Oh well, I'll make one before Christmas and then give it to her as a gift :D
Today Nathaniel turns six months old! Half a year... wow and then six more months until he turns one! Time sure runs fast. Like how Arielle is two already... and in a few more months she'll be three! She already knows a lot of words, and her attitude... well, it's developing. lols. Yeah, she has an attitude. I guess a lot of kids go through these phase sometime in their life. Nathaniel on the other hand is a very still child. Most times he has a worried facial expression.. and it's obvious since some of my friends would bring it up. I guess you can tell too.. from previous posts? Anyways I love Nathaniel bunches and I'd take him in when he turns 12 or something... since my mom said that by that time, her and my dad would be traveling places. lols. I'd still take him in! Happy six months old to my brothurr!
After getting off the bus, I walked down the sidewalk towards my house. Then I looked up and randomly saw this crab apple! I saw only one though. It was so red.. and it looked really good to eat. I was tempted to grab it and eat it. Then I thought... someone might be looking out the window and see me stealing their fruit. lol. I wasn't going to do it anyways. I've been tempted a lot of times.. seriously. Whenever I would go out and see our next door neighbor's crab apple tree, I would see a bunch of crab apples and I'd feel tempted to grab one and bring it in my house. Then I'd think of other things to get that temptation out of my mind haha. I thought there was only one crab apple, but after I grabbed my camera to take a picture from the door, I saw another one just underneath. There were leaves in front of it.. no wonder I didn't see it in the first place.
I never planned on taking a physics class, but since I heard that there was one teacher who was good at teaching this tough subject, I took a leap of faith and put Physics 20 on my senior year schedule. I tell you, I'm a little scared. But I will do my very best to tackle this subject. Even though I might not need it for the road I'm taking, I thought it would be good JUST IN CASE I become interested in a field where a little bit of physics is needed after high school. pffftt. Yeah, just in case. I'm actually glad I did so, since I got the good teacher!!! All I gotta do now is put my best effort into this hard, tough, challenging subject and pray I won't fail it. Good luck to me >.<
So I got lazy during my last couple of weeks summer vacation and ended up not finishing this family commission. I'm not so happy with my laziness, and so I'm punishing myself by drawing this every chance I have.. weekdays and weekends. Just two more faces to go, and I'm off to continuing my Glee drawing >.<
Today I went to a 25th anniversary silver wedding. The cool thing about this wedding is that the couple who are getting married have NO IDEA about this day! This event was actually set up by the kids, and I'm amazed at how hard they all worked for this day to come true, especially because this was their mother's dream. It's actually the couple's 27th anniversary but since they couldn't have their silver wedding in the past, the eldest child thought of this great surprise plan to have them renew their vows. They planned months before and asked everyone involved to make this as secret as possible. It was a great wedding. The bride cried nonstop lol. Those tears of happiness also got to a lot of people, especially my mom and auntie. I guess I can confess, I got a little teary when their children had to say some things to their parents. The girls were crying, and the guy was holding back his tears. It was pretty emotional on different levels. Anyway, I was so full after. And at the end when everyone else left, our family friend took some helium balloons and used it to make his voice higher. It was funny! I also tried it myself, and it actually worked. LOL. Anyway, I heard doing this was not good for you... hmm I shall check that out on a different time. PEACE :)
My friends and I planned to hang out today at my house. It was a sudden plan from yester-night actually and I'm glad we went along with it! Today was fun guys! We actually rented two movies. Two of my friends watched Avatar since they haven't seen it yet, and the three of us watched Armored. It was funny on how we kept on changing our preference while watching Armored on the second floor from the basement. Since Lanie and Jomar were watching the Avatar with a loud volume, it was hard for us to concentrate on Armored. SO I first lowered their volume down and we turned our volume up. Though I think they turned theirs up again lol.. you sneaky bums. Then we decided to go to the basement and watch there instead. HOWEVER, the huge TV there wasn't working. SO we used the small TV and connected the red, white, and yellow plugs. BUT THEN the screen was black and white, so it wasn't plugged in right. We couldn't figure out how to bring the color back, so we decided to watch the movie in black and white as we wasted a long time trying to get comfortable on watching Armored. lol. It was actually more dramatic in black and white actually, and it was intense! We kept on screaming and jumping and shaking on the climax LOL. It was that intense. You should watch Armored when you get the chance, it's a pretty good movie. :) After that we had to wait for Avatar to finish, since it wasn't done yet. Later on we played some card games: big two and signal. It was so much fun! Thanks guys for today, I had a great time once again! :)
Now that school's starting, I see Nathaniel and Arielle less. I miss them more than before, and I hope I won't be too busy to play with them after school. I find myself kissing both of them on the cheeks more than before too. Anyway, today was picture day. They have a new ID holder so that no one can claim that their ID is broken anymore (IDs before had a hole punch, now they have a plastic holder to put the ID in). Tomorrow will be my second day of school, though today wasn't even a normal school day... just picture day.
I was surprised when my mom told me that it was my aunt's birthday today. Surprised because I've forgotten her birthday. But I did know that it was around September.. though I've forgotten it. Whenever it's an elder's birthday, I keep forgetting the date. And I think it also goes with teens my age. You see, I'm not good when it comes to remembering things such as a person's name on a first meeting. But I think it depends on the impact that thing/person does to me. Actually, these situations happen when my mind is set somewhere else while I try to pay attention to a thing/person. Does this happen to you too? But I can't say that's true all the time. There are different ways I forget things and also ways I remember things such as those that I feel strongly about. Then again, I would also remember the less important too. Anyway, aside from that... I made sushi today! It's my second time making sushi, and I'm probably going to make more since my friends want to set up a date to make these. I actually made these for my aunt. After finding out it was her birthday today, I asked my mom if I could make sushi for her. So I did. :D
