WEEKDAYS+SATURDAYS=DISTRESS

 

Before, I'm so happy that we don't have Saturday classes unlike other schools. Now?? It's okay for me but I was surprised when it was announced that we will be having them. When I heard it, one thing enters my mind- no more leisure. I found it hard to wake up early since it's already programmed to me that every Saturday, I'll wake up late. I found it hard to all of the assignments in just a day. And I found that my time for my family is limited and also my time for myself.

So far my Saturday classes were fine. Actually it had been finer than the usual school days. We seldom have classes so its just like normal Saturday with your friends. Happy 4^th grading! J

EDGY…

First day of classes should not be as scary as like this. Today, a conference between parents and teachers was held regarding our violation concerning punctuality. When we're writing what we really did, I felt nothing. I discovered that we won't be suspended. Half of me said "Yes!" and the half said "Owwww!". During the Christmas break, I tried to absorb the fact that all of us will be suspended and I did it. I even think what I will do on those days. But then, I was not. We were not. And I'm very grateful to know that. I don't want to bring problems to my parents anymore so I'm trying to discipline myself and set limits on what I will do and how I will act.

We had oration and declamation this week and I can say that I don't excel in any of those. Hehehe. In oration, I think I did fine even though I just memorized this morning. In declamation, well, I guess it's better not to be elaborated.                    

 

This week, one of my friends treat us ice cream and ate it together. First, we ate lunch in 7 11, fitting in 6 small chairs. (note: we're 8). We can't move our elbows but nothing could stop us from eating. Since our friend received her money from the paluwagan, we convinced her to buy ice cream. We decided to continue eating later recess because it was too big and we're already full that time. Definitely, all of us won't forget cookies and cream ice cream. :P

HEAVENLY FIREWORKS

 

Happy New Year! Before we face New Year, we went to MOA and spent some time bonding, shopping, and even playing there. Every moment with family is definitely happy when each has the will to be happy. Every Sunday we were going to church and ate in different restaurants to try new dishes. Sometimes, we will just buy tofu and cooked at home. I helped my father and my sister with preparing the tofu. Actually, I was the one who's slicing the tofu and pork and making the sauce- soy sauce and vinegar with chilies. Weee!

New years can get any better without fireworks. Even though we had just few fireworks, I enjoy blowing torotot and taking pictures. The best firework for me is the fountain. I want to picture using my digicam but unfortunately, I can't find it. Hahaha! Anyways, the best part is eating… wiwit! I ate all of the palitaw which was given to us by my auntie. Hehehe. I also liked the Kare-Kare of my sister. At first, I don't want to taste it 'cause its her first time to cook the dish. Hoping my classmates won't tease me.

Somehow my new year was fun even though the someone I mentioned on my last post did the same thing to me. I got hurt again but not as intense as the previous one. Maybe it's because I got used to it. That time, I just can't resist thinking what will happen next. I'm very dedicated to that someone that I'll do anything. (echos!) smile! J

CHRISTMAS BREAK…

 

 

BREAK. Christmas breaks bring joy to everyone. It gives us relaxation for the year's hard works. I did enjoy my Christmas even though I had missed my friends so much. Anyways, this Christmas we didn't prepare a lot of foods since there's no one to help my father in cooking. And as far as I remember, my parents had a quarrel that time. Well, I just ignore them. I don't get easily affected with fights of adults and thought that it was just a simple problem. But I was wrong. The last time I saw my mother that night was she was crying while my father is talking. I can't believe he could say that. December 25, morning, we went to my auntie's house. We stayed and ate lunch there. Everything seems so fine, exactly opposite of what I witnessed last night. But once more, I'm wrong. My grandparents discovered the quarrel and talk heart-to-heart. I heard the word I'm scared of saying and hearing. To fool myself that I didn't hear it, I just watched T.V. and show interest in what I'm doing. Since then, they had never been okay.

I myself had problems too. I don't really pay attention to my parent's quarrel since someone caught mine. This someone injured my most important organ. (hehe) I got hurt so much that I can't even make a fake smile.Well, I guess that happened with reason, maybe there's a lesson behind it. I just don't know what it is.

LONGEST LINE…

 

 

Everyone's busy for the upcoming Christmas Party, tree planting and entrance examination of incoming 1^st year students.

Morning. First, parents and teachers had a meeting about tree-planting in the gym. After that, they went behind the Chem and Physics lab to cut the withered trees of banana and replace them with the fruit-bearing and forest trees we brought. Students helped in carry the plants from the front of the building to the garden.

For the Christmas party, I volunteered to bring barbeque with other two classmates but we don't know how to marinate so we seek the help of our adviser. On that day, we bought pork and other ingredients so she can marinate it even in short time. Our barbeque turns out delicious and edible. Hehe! Thanks to Ma'am!

The highlight of our Christmas party for me is the game, LONGEST LINE. The mechanics is to form a line from the things we wore, we have including ourselves. The prize- plus points to some subjects. That motivated us a lot. Everyone's determined to win this game and I think our section had the greatest fighting spirit among the juniors. While boys are removing their shirts an even their pants, I'm just there fixing, making sure that every thing was in place, and laughing since I don't have much to contribute. I untied the laces of every shoe I passed when fixing. At last, countdown starts. We started to lie on the fields extending on the basketball court before the counting ends. Alas! We won! But wait, there's the twist. We must put everything back in place. In that case, we didn't win but at the end, it's just a joke. Hehe! That's the best Christmas party for me. The most memorable was the group hug of all the 3^rd years and the singing of "Star ng Pasko" with my classmates while staring at the big star of the building. J

ANGELS WITH BABIES

 

 

For the preparation and gift giving since it's already Christmas, we had this alternative for monito-monita. We had Baby-Angel. The difference between the two is that you'll make your own inbox where your angel can put anything he wants to give you like messages and foods. There will also we freedom wall wherein you can write your dedications to either of your baby or your angel. You must take care of your baby or else… Hehehe! Some of our classmates don't appreciate the game so they just ignore the messages in their inbox and some did not even bother to make inbox at all. That's why I had two babies. J He told me to look for his baby since she was my friend. As an angel, I think I did a really good job taking care of them both but I can say, Baby-Angel is an expensive game. You need to feed your baby and if not, you'll receive a lot of notifications in the freedom wall and that bothered me a lot so I often give them foods and seldom messages. Hehe!

P.T. As I mention in my first post, it's the worst part. As always, I hope that I'll get good grades even I didn't review seriously 'cause I'm always thinking of someone very important to me. Totototototooooooooooooot! Hehehe! Blind item. That's it for now.

MATH FEVER!

 

 

This week is a very tiring since we spent our time practicing for the Math jingle representing the juniors. At first, we can't get any idea what will we do but later on, as we bonded with each other, we shared ideas and suggestions which made our content meaty and full of Math concepts according our teachers. The only problem was our movements. We tried to fit simple actions to the lyrics so we can focus more on vocals. Luckily, we finished the routine and able to practice it more.

There are many activities in Math Fest that I enjoyed like the Mr. and Ms. Mathaba. I'm really proud of all the contestants especially my two batch mates. Even though they didn't win, I'm sure everyone is pleased with what they did. J Good job! They both showed their talent in dancing. Ahehehe! Another contest is the Math quiz bee. From all the participants, our section won the first place. This victory gave us 100 in our quiz in English. :P Congratulations to all Math club staff that made a day wonderful and educational.

BLESSINGS FOR EVERYONE!

 

 

My father arrived from abroad this week. As every child will feel, I got excited with what my father had brought for us and definitely with his homecoming. I got new caps, shirts and the most awaited.. chocolates. I love chocolates. Who could hate scrumptious, mouthwatering sweets? Hehe. Anyways, since my father is finally here, we usually spent our time in malls even we had classes. Because of that, I often got sleepy and sleep while in class. xP

It was the first time that my father will be the one who's attending a meeting regarding the upcoming PTC and blessing for our new location. Most of the parents on the day of blessing and all of us really participated. That day, we're like kids doing what we want- playing, running, riding bike, and eating. (Thanks for the bike, courtesy of my sister) I and my classmates ate together under the shade of some trees near the TRC and took pictures. That blessing surely made us closer to each other.

PTC for this grading is not that cruel for me. Fortunately, I got good grades and I hope this will continue for the rest of school year. Next blog coming.

NEW HOME, NEW ROOM

 

 

For the third time, we transferred again to a new room. This new room will be our home for the rest of our stay here as juniors. I'm sure it will be filled with laughter, cries, smiles, peculiar faces we usually do, food we can't resist, and of course noise. For me, we are the noisiest and naughtiest class in Maliksi Type Building. Our principal always call our attention because of our noise. We can't help it. Nitros have really loud voice including me. Haha!

All third years will be staying there and I'm sure our silence will be thrice as it was. :P Compared to our former room, I like more this one 'cause of the fresh air coming from either side of the building. It was newly painted and tiled. But in the case of having comfort room, I prefer to be in our former room. There, we don't need to go outside just to do our thing unlike in Maliksi, it's the universal comfort room of all staying in the building. Another thing I like Maliksi building is we don't need to use the pathways 'cause it's in the latter part of the field. For us, using the pathways is part of our everyday life since we're freshies. Officers used to clamor from the flagpole, "USE THE PATHWAY!" Hehe! I can't forget the first time I heard their voices. I even got surprised. Hehe! Silly me. Another advantage being near to the field is we can easily dominate the courts, whether the volleyball or the basketball.

Transferring is not that bad. While moving to Maliksi Building, I saw my classmates' cooperation and I'm glad that even in just relocating, we were able to show our concern to each other. 'Till next blog.

2012

 

 

This week, I had mixed emotions with how our teachers and officers act when we got late last December 17. I can't blame them for being angry for we knew it's wrong but I think someone exaggerated what we did on that very day and maybe they believed him not knowing what we really do. Ever since that someone can't be friends with us and others say he has attitude problem. I could hardly realize what we have done wrong that day.

Our journey goes like this. We were having fun that day 'cause it's our last stay in school for this year so we decided to watch the movie 2012 since its part of our reaction paper. (Even though some of us watched it already including me). We went to 7 11, Polar, a friend's house and another friend's house where we stayed and watched the movie. When we arrived, a classmate told us that we're not allowed to go to the room according to our adviser so we stay in front of the Molecules room, sitting on benches for the rest of the day until our adviser call our attention and instructed us to finally go inside our room. We had our essay-writing contest inside with our co-late comers. Our adviser interrogated us but since we're coward enough to talk.. everybody's speechless except for my mind. Many things bothered my concentration in listening to her so I could barely hear what she was saying. One thing she uttered had marked in my brain and my heart—that is, what children's doing now reflect their parent's attitude. Because of my stupidity, my parents got included in the problem and worse! They got insulted. For that, I'm really sorry. I and my friends promised that we won't do anything shameful again.

TURN OFF THE LIGHTS NOW!

 

 

We did our MTV for our Physics project this week at my friend's house. our project is all about importance of light. We had our sleep over there but actually, we didn't sleep at all. Since a group must consist of maximum of 6 members, one of the 7 wonders can't be in our group anymore and I'm sorry for that. Anyways, we're really excited that time even though still tired because of the GSP camp. We met at McDo Tanza and eat some fries and talked some things. Then suddenly open the topic about the tricycle thingy. That topic made us laugh a lot that customers stare at us like we're crazy. We can't help it; it's just really weird-8 persons trying to fit on one trike. Hahahaha! After that, we immediately start our shooting and our director began to edit the video. We spent the rest of the night playing board games, watching, surfing, and chatting. The weather isn't good that time but we still manage to have fun. We even scare each other since the door closed itself suddenly while we're watching. It's really fun to be with your friends especially on sleep overs. J

CAMPFIRE’S BURNING!

Yep! This week, we had our first school-based GSP camping and I guess that was the best GSP camp I've joined so far. But before we had our camping, we first took the WORST part of schooling- exams. . I hope I'll get good grades even though I didn't review some of the subjects. Wahaha! Every time we're taking P.T., we show our hidden skills and we call it strategy. Of course, those who really study don't do this exhibition and others, like me, show what I can do. I can say that we really need each other in times like those. We know that it's not a good habit but what can we do? To be included in the star section is a privilege but that privilege comes with great expectations. This means pressure. We have to be like this. We have to act like this. We have to do like this. We have to be on top. We have to be role model for the rest of the juniors and I admit it, I can't. I know to myself that I'm trying to be one but lazy enough not to be. X) hehe!

For the first time, I had my overnight stay in our school with everybody else except boys. I did manage to sleep but I really plan not to. Before going to our quarters, I visited my friends in their rooms and did some chatting. We talked about something intriguing. Although, we are ashamed of opening this topic to ourselves, I think that matter made us closer to each other and know each other better. Anyways, we did a lot of activities like our investiture, some games and our cheer and yell show off. Unfortunately, I just clap when my patrolmates were cheering 'cause I don't know what to sing and dance. I didn't expect much 'cause we lack practice and meeting. My patrol encountered some problems when our flag which is the most significant thing to be a patrol lost. We searched for it everywhere and found that it was in the staff's quarters, this means huhuhu we must face the consequence. And that consequence is to segregate everyone's trash. Luckily, everone in my patrol was willing to get our flag back. The best part of the camping for me is the awarding because I was recognized as the BEAT ASSISTANT PATROL LEADER! *clap* I'm very thankful to all of the staff. J
