Day 302: Vows Renewal


Happy halloween? The year it didn't snow on halloween day.. I didn't go trick or treating. Partly because I kind of outgrew it and partly because my friends weren't going. Honestly I would've gone but I didn't know who I'd go with. But no biggie I had other things to do anyways.

So today was the last day for this program my parents attended "MER: Marriage Enrichment Program" for the CFC (Couples for Christ). One of its requirements were that the couples in the program would have to "renew" their vows. It so happens that October 31st would have to be the day for them to do so. lol I find that weird. I'm not sure if it's the real deal but the thing is, while I was trying to look for my parents to take photos of during the renewal of the couples vows, I couldn't find they anywhere! It turns out, my mom was busy and my dad wasn't there because he had to get more rice for the occasion. LOL. Yeah, my family helped catered the event because there was actually one couple who held a party kind of thing for their vows at the basement of my church. I'm not really sure what's happened, but that's all I can say for tonight.

OHH YEAAH. I had a funny conversation on the phone with my friend. It was hilarious. Thaanks for putting up with me :)

Hope you all had a happy halloween?

Day 301: Drawing Assignment


So I'm almost done my drawing assignment for art class. WOOOOHOOO! This means I'm almost done the assignments! I feel productive. I'm actually doing something in art now LOL. Yeah, for the last few weeks I've been chill during art class. The only things I've considered serious were Physics, Math and English. Considering that I'm not too bad in art, it makes me a little sad that I'm not treating it as well as it deserves. I mean, I'd be lying if I didn't need art in my life. Unfortunately, what drove me to get serious were the marks though. But that doesn't mean it's not important. I'll always love art, even though I hate parts of it. It's a love-hate relationship. Chyeah. Gonna get this done soon.

Day 300: ALREADY?


WOW I can't believe it's already been 300 days since my first post! It would've been way better if I said I had not missed a day, but I did.. 27 mins late. :( Yeah, it makes me sad just thinking about that.

So what did I do with this special day? I spent it with my awesome friends of course! ^.^ Thank you guys so much for today. I cherish these moments with you all as we might not have this after high school. So let's make the best out of our hang outs when we spend time with each other okay? I want to make awesome, funny, emotional, silly etc moments with all of you. And honestly, don't be afraid to be silly. We've been through a lot so be comfortable just like how Jomar (aheem) was today LOL. And don't be afraid to be embarrassed too (ahem), I really wouldn't mind. So let's try to make the most of our time together while we still have it. And honestly, I already miss you all when it comes down to this situation. Seriously. Laaaave you guys :)

Day 299: Guest Speaker


Our school had a guest speaker come in this morning for the grade 11 and 12s. I didn't catch this man's name, but I heard he was on Oprah once and that he talks to over 200,000 kids every year. His topic? Drugs and alcohol. Believe me, this man is a pretty powerful speaker. In the middle of his talk, everyone was just plain quiet. At first many laughed, smiled and joked around. Then near the end we all had a serious attitude and many of us finally shook off the smiles and jokes to get real on this topic. It was a presentation unlike any other we've had at our school. I'm glad I was there to hear it.

On another note, I found my math workbook! :D I thought I had lost it! OH GOSH. That thought is a little terrifying. My friend found it in the art room AND I REALLY BELIEVED that it wasn't there. It was the last place I'd look for actually. lol

Day 298: YMCA Halloween Event 2010


We had a lot of things that was yet to be done but had to let those go because of material shortages. Like our backdrops.. we painted and worked hard on it but for some reason (still could work w/o cardboard) we didn't go through with it. ON THE OTHER SIDE, it was a fun day actually! The kids had fun and the extreme leaders had fun as well :) I ended up to be the (noob) photographer of the event and took pictures of errboddy. THANK GOODNESS FOR JAKE. He insisted that I should be in the pictures as well so we took turns taking pictures with the kids. Thank you Jake :]

Overall today was great. It wasn't like any other day. I had a lot of things to smile about and I realized that things are changing for me. Now all I have to do is accept that and let things be. I'm still a little hesitant about letting a part of me go, but today did proved to me that things can be different.

Day 297: Pet Peeve One


My school is full of so many annoying and cocky students who think they can play guitar/ukelele like a pro. Honestly, it's really getting on my nerves. Today during lunch I was having conversation with my friends about the grad banquet THEN SUDDENLY I hear someone playing guitar at my left from where I was sitting. I looked and saw a bunch of asians (not being racist, I'm asian too) all grouped up and some guy playing some sort of love song in hopes of impressing those around him. LIKE OMG. DUDDEEE. I get that a lot of you want to learn guitar/ukelele, but that doesn't mean you should play the guitar/uke EVERY.DARN.LUNCHTIME. Yeah, it's been like that since... I don't even remember. For a long while now. Like a trend. But I'm hoping this whole pretending to know how to play the guitar thing will die out soon. Sooner or later, whoever you are impressing will realize you can't really play the damn instrument. Knowing how to play 2 or more songs doesn't make you a musician.

Am I being shallow for ranting this out? I know I can't play an instrument though I do know how to play a couple songs on the guitar. HOWEVER I don't go around showing it off to people like I know how to play. Sheeesh.

Day 296: Sleeping on the Bus


After coming home from school, I babysat Nathaniel for a while and gave him toys to chew on. Gaash this kid is so cute. I know I said that a hundred times, and I'm probably going to say more of that in future posts! Just saying :P

I almost fell asleep on the bus today. Like really fall asleep. It felt like a long ride from school to McKnight station. And since Jomar was beside me (doing sudoku), I figured that if I really do fall asleep, he'll wake me up. The cool thing? We rode the newer kind of bus. It felt a little more spacey and I felt comfortable. After realizing that I fell asleep for a while, I found that I was slouching down and maybe kind of falling off my seat if I didn't woke up. Thanks Jomar. lol Well I guess not falling off the seat but was heading there.

Day 295: Superhero Carnival


We had a Kids for Christ Superhero Carnival event today. I got to know some of the kids and saw people I haven't seen in a while. GUESS WHAT? Face painting is so hard! It was really hard to control the brush. Then again, I don't face paint. It was still pretty awesome though hehe.

I'm sorry about today. There's a lot of confusion I think and I can't help but wonder that there's more to how you were around me. That there was more to our conversation on msn which I didn't realize until today. Am I right to think like this? 'cause if I am, then we need to talk. I really don't want to ruin this friendship because of misunderstandings. Hope we talk soon.

Day 294: Day Not Wasted


I didn't have a choice but to go to a family friend's baptism party. I've got a whole bunch of homework on my plate and to add it up, I'm just too deern busy this weekend. So I thought I'd be wasting my time waiting for the party to end, but surprisingly, it wasn't a waste after all!

If you find this, well it's been a while since we've talked. I'm glad your parents forces you to go to events like today, otherwise we wouldn't have had a good conversation! Most guys I talk to wouldn't dare to discuss what you and I talked about. They would rather just talk about boy stuff, although I did gave you the chance to talk about what guys talk about lol. But you didn't mind. It's nice to know there are guys like you out there, gives me hope I'll find someone who I could talk anything and random things about without having to worry about shutting up lol. The thing is, you really didn't mind. You didn't show signs of "OMG she keeps talking". You gave me your opinion and I really respect you for that. Furthermore, it wasn't awkward. Now I wished I got to know you better before, then maybe we'd be great friends today :) Oh yeah, remember when you said you remembered seeing me working on my math homework loong time ago and you thought I was cool for that (PSSSH yeah rightt)? Well I realized just mins after you left that I actually brought my math with me today. That would've been a fun conversation lol. You should know, math is my least favorite subject.

Anyway.. yeah I brought my math homework to a party lol. But that doesn't matter, at least someone thinks I'm cool for that :] BUT THEN all these kids started gathering around when they saw me giving paper and a pencil to a kid. Fortunately, I had enough pencils and paper for them all. But unfortunately, I couldn't pay attention. So I ended up conversing with some of them and admiring this little CUTIE who was soo freaking cute! I guess my homework plan didn't work.

Lastly, I let Nathaniel hold my hand.. err finger on the way home. Usually he'd let go (because he moves his arms everywhere) but today he kept on holding. He was wide awake and staring at the night sky, and I was expecting for him to eventually let go. But he didn't, he held my finger tightly the whole ride home. It felt nice. When we finally arrived, I tried moving my finger but he was still holding so tightly. Moments like that mean so much to me. I love my baby brothurr <3

Time to go to bed. Goodnight :)

Day 293: What to Do


Not so sure what I'm going to do with these anymore. I have a bunch of them. I actually had some sort of creative plan but I don't think I should go on with it. Should I throw them out? I can't give these to just anyone. And I don't want to keep them either if I can't go through my plan.

I'm really cheesy when it comes to making something special for someone I care about. Especially when it came from the heart. Those stars aren't just little origami stars. I wrote messages inside each of them. I know I only photographed a few, but I made so much that if I throw these away, those time spent making them would go to waste. Yeaah, I can be a hopeless romantic. But I'm not the only one :P

You might think this is laame.. but if someone gave these to me, I'd think it'd be the cutest thing. I MEAN, all that time spent? It's enough to know that person cares about you. Pfftt. hahah if only >.<

Day 292: Days Like Today


Before heading home, some of us from YMCA decided to do some sketches for the halloween event next Wednesday. We had to draw halloween characters on huge papers so that if any of the kids want to take pictures with a different kind of costume, they can put their heads on our drawings and snap a shot from it. Two went home and the three of us decided to go to pho after.

It took us a while actually to finish eating. Not because we were pigs (LOL) but because we discussed some things we didn't normally talk about. We talked about serious issues at first. It was a little hard to touch on things that people tend to shy away from, but I'm glad we talked about that. Then later on we talked about the silly things we've done when we were kids. It was pretty hilarious lol. Brings me back to those mini adventures I had when I was little.

Day 291: Sad Day


Went to YMCA meeting today. It has been a while. There were a lot of members who couldn't go though, but that doesn't matter since we already have our next event set to date and plans put together.

I asked a friend a question, "Should you hold on to something special that makes you sad or let it go?" She said, "If you want to be happy, then you should let it go. Why would you hold on to something that only makes you sad?" Well I felt sad today. I couldn't even think properly. sigh. iunno. While trying to get through math class, I kept thinking. I didn't want to feel sad to a point that I couldn't think properly. I even had to ask a friend to help me with one question, but even that I failed to pay attention. It wasn't even that hard.

I find that I'm falling deeper into something that might not even work. For the longest time I wouldn't accept how I feel. Then a lot of things happened in between and it took a lot out of me to finally try and accept it. I never planned to be in the place I am now. In fact, I thought things would be so much different. But I am gradually discovering things about myself.. who I am and stuff. No doubt that the hard things we face in life does build your character. Problems strengthens your character.

Anyway, I'll accept that this is how I feel. It's the only exception. If ever things don't work out, I'll try to be happy about it. If the actors in Smallville find another show that makes them happy, then I'll be happy about that too. If they are happy, I'm happy. If you're happy, then I'll be fine with that.. as long as you are happy. Weird, I'm saying so much happy that it doesn't even sound like happy is happy anymore lol.

Well, I needed to let that out. Even if it doesn't make sense, at least to me I'd know what I'm talking about. The Smallville thing was a little weird, but I hope you got that. Yeah.. that's all for tonight. Bye.

Day 290: Too Much Art


I started on my other art assignment today. I'm trying to get this done as soon as possible as I still have a couple more to go :( Though I'm enjoying this because it's graphite! Helps me practice a little. Then off to oil painting after this. Then another art assignment. derrnn. >.<

Day 289: Step Forward


I got to vote today. For the first time. I thought we had to go somewhere farther but it turns out the voting station was at the public school near my house. It was a little intense with the way the voting areas were set up. Iunno. I actually didn't want to vote. Right now I really don't care who wins or not. I'm just getting used to being legal and having to deal with political stuff wasn't something I signed up for. I was hoping I could vote next time, but my dad really wanted Barb Higgins to win lol. So I went along. Right now I couldn't care less who wins. Though this will eventually be an important decision a few years from now if I want change in my city. Maybe it's the whole growing up thing, I'm just not interested yeeet. But I gotta move a step forward. And that's where post-secondary comes in. ugh. Well, I gotta start making plans now..soooon enough. grr.

Day 288: Goodnight


I have to write about water symbolism on this short story. I haven't started yet and hopefully this wasn't homework. I don't think it's due anytime soon. err. Gaash. maybe it is due tomorrow. crap. oh noes. why can't i rememberrr?! pfftt. oh wells.

You should've told me they didn't decide who was with who. You decided that for me. It would have made my day that day if you said so. Better late than never, huh? Hmm we gonna be gooood friends :)

Day 287: When Will We Learn


I FINALLY finished my family commission :( I am really glad I finished, I'm just sad that it took me too looong. They said I can take all the time I want, no rush. So I did. But I really wanted it done before school started or else I'd have the thought of finishing it like it was homework. And it did feel that way. I'm going to try and do better the next commission. Okay, I learned my lesson: "Never leave that till tomorrow which you can do today". [Benjamin Franklin said that. And by not procrastinating, he discovered electricity. O.O] Unfortunately, I'm not going to apply that on some areas in my life. I mean.. we can learn that something needs to be changed, but then again we are human.. it's in our DNA to make mistakes. I guess we never really learn our lesson, do we?

Day 286: Oh How I Love Fridays


Today was fun guys :) I love days like these. I love Friday hangouts. It's always a great way to end the busy week!

I did something today that I'm very proud of. I want to tell someone. But I feel like I should keep it to myself. It's sort of a personal growth kind of thing. Still, it was something I thought I'd never do. And I hope to do more of that in the future.

Day 285: So Behind


I finally finished my painting! YEEEE! Finally, moving on to the next assignment. Gaash. We're so behind :(

Day 283: Unwell Enough


So it seems that I'm unwell enough to not go to school tomorrow! I'm glad and unhappy at the same time though. I really want to take that physics test. I feel like I could tackle it. But I really want another 90 too. And since I can't think straight with my current condition, I thought that maybe I'd do better if I stay home and practice more. Oh, and especially math too. I guess I'd have to pay more attention on math tomorrow than physics. Anyway, after school I stayed to study and help out two of my classmates from physics class. I like how Mr.Chung (?) got confused and looked at my answer to figure out what he did wrong. He's actually a culinary arts teacher but also a physics teacher (who'd rather not teach it since he doesn't want people hating on his subject lol). I really like physics right now. I get it. But I'm scared that I won't soon enough. sigh.

Hmm. I was listening to my ipod and this song came up randomly. I smiled at the thought of you :] I shouldn't think of you. But I can't help it. >.< I shouldn't even be expecting anything. Until you show me signs you don't want me in your life.. then I guess I'll try my freaking hardest not to feel this way about you. Until then, I'll just keep on smiling :)

Day 282: Thanksgiving


I don't think my family has EVER had turkey before during Thanksgiving. Well, we finally did today.. the filipino way haha. Hmm. I regret not having done a lot during this long weekend. I got reasons, but I knew I could've done more if I tried. err.. if I wasn't feeling lazy -ahem-. So I guess this should be the part where I talk about the things I'm thankful for.. huh? Yep I've got a lot of things to be thankful for. But I won't list them. I'll always be thankful for what I have. I don't need an occasion to remind me the blessings God gave me. I'm thankful everyday.

Anyway, I decided to watch When in Rome... online. pfftt. yeah. It was alrighty. Would've been nice if someone watched it with me though. Well, someone did, but he kept going in and out and asking questions and eventually I was hoping for him to leave lol. Yupp, we had family friends over too.

I kept smiling a lot today. I smiled to a point where my cheeks were getting tired of smiling. I smiled about a lot of things. Baatt..you made me smile a lot :] I hope I made you smile, even if it was just a little bit... >.< A little teeny bit is fine than nothing. Haha. Yeaahh.

So... I should be doing physics and math and english. craap. err well I'm fine with physics. ugh. stupid essay. owkay. time for homeworkk.

Sunday, October 10, 2010

Day 281: Lame Painting


Here's my lame painting. Yeah, I suck big time. Oh wells. At least I'm almost done! I just realized the only homework I've done is this... deern. Imma do some physics tonight.

Day 280: Point Formed


Summahreeh ('cause it's late and I'm tired):
- Met a new friend today! :)
- Saw a side in you I didn't know you had. I wish I had that charm.
- We have the same.. taste? For a while, it was competition. Then I realized I shouldn't even bother. It didn't feel right. Then again.. it was never right.
- You're a player. I'm telling if that happens again. :P
- Catering did well. Good job all!
-Found out I'm doing the face painting booth. yay partners! Let's draw superman on all the kids' faces LOL jks.
- I admit I haven't been around much. It's not on purpose though. And I wish I wasn't busy... I miss you guys.
- I'm tired.But I still did some painting.Then I made a mistake.crap.
- I realized just how much courage I have. But why can't I have that around you?

Day 279: Lacking Creativity


Lately I've been taking pictures of my little cousin and brother instead of something creative. Yeahh, I'm not the creative person everyone thinks I am. I wish I had that talent though.. if I did, I would probably have more thoughts into becoming an art teacher. But I don't. And don't say, "WHAT CHU TALKING 'BOUT?! What about your origami,drawings, photos, you're good!" When it comes to being creative at the moment, I blank out and stare around. It doesn't come to me as well as it does for others and so it takes me like... a few or more hours or days to actually make an acceptable idea and present it in a creative way. And what really bums me more is that I don't have the passion to be creative, especially at the spot. It hurts my head and I usually find myself thinking, "this is why you can't be an art teacher". I don't have anything original to call my own and be proud of it. Well, at least that's what I think. Maybe I do and I can't remember what or where I put it. sigh. Even that I'm not sure. This is saddening.

Then again, maybe the lazy kid inside of me is the reason why I'm lacking creativity.. and why I'd end up doing something crappy in the end. Iunno.

Day 278: Making Sure


This looks kind of freaky... haha oh wells. I had to take one before I forget again... since I'm tok-boxing with my friends! The last time we went on tokbox, I forgot to take a picture. So this time I made sure I had something before I forget. And don't think we are tokboxing just because.. tokbox is actually a good site for when you need someone to tutor you or help you do homework questions. I felt really productive after that and I'm glad that there's a site that is able to help one person reach two or more people to have discussions with.

Day 277: Best Cousins


Yeeah, she's like that when we take pictures of Nathaniel! Haha, I hope they grow up to be best cousins!

Tuesday, October 5, 2010

Day 276: Sleepy Head


Usually after he cries, he starts to feel sleepy. After pacing around a little bit while carrying him, he started to fall asleep on my left shoulder. I wait a while so that he is deeper in his sleep and finally put him down my parent's bed. He wakes up. I went to get him. I went to my room. He falls asleep on my shoulder. I put him on my bed. He wakes up. I pick him up. He falls asleep again. I put him back on my bed. He wakes up. I carry him and falls back to sleep on my shoulder. I put him- I keep him in my arms with head on left shoulder. I switch his head on my right shoulder after a few mins. And yeaaaaaah. LOL. Sounds like a lot of work. But this is usually what happens when I'm the one who makes him go to sleep. He prefers my shoulders more than the bed! lol I feel special, but sometimes I wish he chooses the bed rather than my shoulders..since it starts to feel heavy after a while.

Day 275: You Awesome


I haven't ate fries and burger from McDonalds in a loooooong time. Man, if it were Jollibee, I think I'd go there every week. I miss Jollibee. So. Freaking. Much. Anyway, you are one of the most generous person I know when it comes to treating people out. Thanks for treating me to McDonalds :) 'cause yeah.. I'm poor and you rich. LOL. jks.

P.S: I DID WELL ON MY PHYSICS TEST!! YEYEYEYYE. :D

Day 274: I Love Food


While waiting for everyone else to get ready for church, I decided to eat one chicken leg with rice. I don't know how this happened, but after a minute of making my food look neat and presentable, I realized that I was shaping my rice in the form of a heart! I thought, "hey, this could be my picture of the day!" And hurr you go. Here's to my love for chicken and raaaice. :D

Day 273: I See You


"You better have them cookies..." lols
Have I mention how CUUTE this little kid is? Haha, he's just the best. He doesn't move too much but sits still. Doesn't cry too much. Just a quiet child. Well, I guess for now. Though he does have his moments lol

Day 272: Friday Hang Out


Today wasn't such a good day... but it was good enough to end the week. Thanks John for the preparations you and your family had for us today. We really appreciate it! I'll miss Pedro and Pocky(?). Well, not so much with Pedro. Though Pocky needs to have a NICE GOOD BATH lol. Oh, and re-watching White Chicks again was hilarious. ALSO your family is pretty awesome. Hope we get to hang out with the Art Committee again, but next time with everyone in it!

Side note: I was shocked when my physics teacher told us about a girl from my school who died suddenly and unexpectedly yesterday. I don't know her, but I hope and pray that to those who do know her, that God will provide them strength and comfort during this sad time.. R.I.P Alexis White.
