Say It Aloud

2008-03-05T03:29:00.000-08:00

For the past month, I have not written anything here on my blog. I just felt that those days were just normal days and there were really nothing important and interesting to blog. Today, during RHGP, we had like a "sorry and thank you' session. I was not able to say all my sentiments. So i guess I 'll just say it here.

Ice - I know that there were times when you got annoyed because of me. There were times when I didn't listen to your ideas because I was too confident about myself. Still, you were there to comfort me when I had problems especially during the sabayan. Thank you so much for being a good friend.

Jan - I think we just met this school year and we became friends during the fourth quarter. Still, you became a good friend to me. You make me laugh and smile all the time. :))

Sach - I know that you didn't want to be part of the pilot class because you might not be able to relate to other persons. I'm sorry because I was one of the persons who judged you. I am really sorry. I was proven wrong and I realized that I you are a great person to be with. Oh! and during the sabayan, I'm sorry if I hurt your feelings. I'm really shout alot when contests like that comes. Lastly, the way I treat you now is the true me.

Carlos - Sorry if during research, I was so harsh to you. I was just really stressed during those days and didn't know how to handle the research stuff. So sorry if I shouted at you or said bad things about you which hurt your feelings. I'm really sorry.

Lastly, I know alot of people got mad at me because of the sabayan. I'm really sorry. I'll try to be more gentle with the way I talk.

Oh, and the people who got mad at me before, that was nothing to me. No hard feelings.:))

It really sounds good saying you emotion. Well, that's all for now.

The Day We Have Been Waiting For

CONGRATULATIONS TO THE CSA PULSATIOUS!

CONGRATULATIONS TO THE CSA CULTURAL DANCE TROUPE!

CONGRATULATIONS TO THE CSA RED AND GOLD BOOSTERS!

We all did a great job!

So, yeah. The Lasalle Dance Competition was yesterday, the most awaited day. I woke up at 7am, took a bath, ate breakfast and went to school. I went straight to the covered court because I was late for the practice. After some time, we were complete and we joined the warm exercise of Pao. we rested for 5 minutes, checked the costumes and reveiwed the steps. We had an early lunch so that we will feel light during the competition itself. At the gym, we saw Jonas, Lisette and Ice. They were there for the props-how dedicated! After eating, we thought we had to change into our costumes already, but we weren't suppose to pa pala. So, there was no more choice, we just changed our shirt. We went to the bus and went to Lasalle together with the CSA Red and Gold Boosters.

We arrived there before 11. (i think.. i'm not sure). Our group had practice while the others had their lunch. We reveiwed the steps and even added some - crammers! Then we had our snacks at the Lasalle canteen and tasted their mojos! It was great! Then we went up and prepared ourselves for the contest proper. We finished fixing ourselves at around 2:30. We stayed at viewing room to watch the other groups. Then we were called to go down. We prayed and offered our dance to God! At the beginning, I was nervous but in the middle of the dance, I felt comfortable. I made some mistakes - hope it was not obvious! After the dance, Ms. Suva said it was great! and she was proud of the group!

We were supposed to watch Pao's group inside the auditorium but we were not allowed. So we just watched at the viewing room and congratulated them for a job well done. We waited for an hour for the announcement of winners. So, it was time for the moment we all have been waiting for. We didn't win, but it was alright. It was just a start of a new journey and a great achievement. I have gained new friends, I met different people, I was able to enhance my dancing talent and the best was that I was able to enjoy and have fun! It was time to go home and Guia and I looked for 2B. They were not there so we thought that they left already. I went home and before sleeping I thanked God for a great experience!

Lead Me Lord

2008-01-24T03:25:00.000-08:00

I am feeling so stressed right now, especially during the STAP days. Each subject has A LOT of requirements - seatwork, homework and quizzes. Well, it's not their fault because it was demanded. :) Oh! Congratulations nga pala to all the STAP. I learned a lot from you!

So today, I woke up earlier than the usual because mommy has to leave and attend her seminar. I talked to Jessica because her problem about school is starting again. Then, I took a bath, ate breakfast and went to school. I went to the classroom ahead of Jessica and didn't know what happened to her. I arrived late and realized that my group haven't started the collage. So we finished it for 30 minutes. It was really a rushed work.

Some groups presented their work this morning while others will do it tomorrow. Then we had Stat for our second subject. We had our quiz about median and mode of grouped data. Then Sir Sta. Maria told his story - his suffering and how he handled them. I wanted to cry but I couldn't and I dont know why. Then we had our Filipino subject and read 3 stories. It was kinda noisy but the teacher didn't mind us. Then we had our Science review and quiz. The quiz was easy because it was the same as the seat work yesterday.

As usual, I had lunch with Ice. We ate at the gym and reviewed for the social quiz. Then we had research. Carlos wasn't able to defend our topic and I was too afraid to help him defend it. I guess it's time to look for another topic.. arghhh!!! Then we had Math. We had our seat work which was okay. Then we had our social quiz. The test was fine although there were some tricky questions.

I had dance practice with the other dance troupe members. Before, I thought that joining this dance celebration will be a big burden to me because it might affect my focus in my studies. But now, I am enjoying it and at the same time can manage my time. Oh! Watch nga pala the Dance Celebration on February 2, Saturday.. Cheer and support your own school! Let's go CSA!

Dance Training- torture!

2008-01-12T02:23:00.000-08:00

It's been so long since I last blogged. I was really lazy to do it (sorry).. Well, this is my first blog for this year:)

We went back to school last Monday. There wasn't really much discussions. We spent our time rechecking our PTs. We also looked for research topics and I was really happy that Sir Manaay somehow approved our topic. Oh! God bless to us, 2B, for our Chapters 1 and 2...

So, today I had practice for the Dance Celebration. I arrived in school at around 9am. I saw Guia and Krish at the CC. We practiced there for a while and headed to the ballet room. Pao saw us and asked us to join their warm-up. Well, there was nothing we can do. So we joined. And because of that, my whole body is aching right now! The warm-up was really a torture. We had sit ups, push ups and kicks. When it was time for the hand stand, I went out of the room na! I can't do it anymore eh! Ate Anj arrived and we went to the CC to have our REAL practice. We had a simple warm-up (compared to Pao's) and learned new steps. After some time, we had lunch at the gym and saw the CO people. Then we had more practice until 2pm. Guia had to leave at 2pm and she was very ,very, very lucky.. Pao forced us to join the final warm-up before leaving and it was twice the torture we experienced earlier that morning. After the warm-up, my legs were shaking and I was feeling really dizzy.

We were dismissed. I went home at around 3:30, ate and slept at home. I feeling very tired right now and my whole body is aching because of the basketball practical test yesterday and the warm-up which happened this morning! Hope it won't last until Monday!

Hairspray

2007-12-27T02:08:00.000-08:00

Movie of the week: Hairspray... My sister and I was given the Hairspray DVD before Christmas. We got so addicted to it, we have been watching it already for the whole week..

Today, I woke up at 9am, took a bath, ate breakfast and did some artworks. My cousin gave me and Jessica a bead-making set. It was really nice! Then, my cousin, ate marigel, arrived. We ate lunch at 12, rested for some while and watched Hairspray.. Then we played taboo, ate merienda and played monopoly.

Right now, I am feeling kinda bored. I want to go out of the house and go anywhere - as long as the place is relaxing. Good thing tomorrow, mom will have visitors. My mom will invite her office mates to eat here during lunch. My lola will cook great food again! wohooo!

Well, that's all now.. Nothing much to tell. :))

Merry Christmas!

2007-12-26T02:47:00.000-08:00

MERRY CHRISTMAS TO EVERYONE!

It's been a while since I last blogged. Anyway, this Christmas was really great! Last December 24, my mom and I baked and cooked the food we had to eat for dinner. We started at 2pm and ended at 7pm.. What hard work! After resting for some time, mommy and daddy gave us the dress we were going to wear for the mass! I really loved it, especially the color - blue! So, we dressed up, ate dinner, took pictures and went to mass. We opened more gifts and gave our gifts to our relatives. We ate, took more pictures (vain), then rested.

Yesterday, we woke up at 9am, took a bath, ate breakfast and headed to Manila Memorial to visit Lolo Tatay. We stayed and prayed for a while. Then, we went to Sta. Rosa to also celebrate Christmas with our other relatives. We ate while talking to other relatives abroad. Then we had our gift-giving and our picture taking. We made some artworks and went home. It was a tiring Christmas for us, but we were very happy because we were together!

Hope you also had a great Christmas! :)

Congrats!

CONGRATULATIONS 2B FOR WINNING SECOND PLACE IN SONGFEST!

Congratulations also to 1A and 2I and all the other participants as well. You really did a great job!

It's been a month since I last blogged. I have been really busy doing a lot of things, like studying and I am sooo stressed right now. At least there's just one more week to go before the Christmas break.

Anyway, this morning I woke up at 6:15 and realized that I might be late for the FC. I took a bath, ate breakfast and went to school. We had our usual routine during the flag ceremony. Then we had Math as our first subject. We only had 30 minutes to discuss word problems since we had to prepare for the songfest. Although math is my favorite subject, I don't like word problems. It needs to much comprehension!

We spent the rest of our Math time and our Social time preparing and practicing for the Songfest. Finally, it was the contest proper. We were fourth to perform and I know that we performed to the best of our ability. Winners were announced and I am really happy because at least, we won this year!!!

I had lunch with Ice, Jan and Gela. Then we went up to prepare for the English news. We had Filipino after lunch.. Another discussion... Then newscasting during English time. Sir commended Jo for acting like a professional one. Nice one Jo! Then we had our last cooking in HE. I really enjoyed being with my group mates.. Nice one guys.. we really did a great job!

Then, I was supposed to have a practice, but it was cancelled! So I just stayed with some 2B people and shared insights with them regarding some things...(secret!) Then we all went home! At least we don't have home works for tomorrow. Today is rest day.. That's all..:P

lol (Laughing Out Loud)

2007-11-14T03:00:00.000-08:00

Today is Wednesday. The most boring day of the week. So, I woke up at 6am, took a bath, ate breakfast and went to school. My dad was the only one who drove me to school because Jessica was sick and my mom was with her. I thought I was going to be late because of the heavy traffic. Good thing I was not.

Morning subjects were fine. We had some reminders for the Outreach during homeroom. Then, we had a simple, but kinda long Computer quiz and a math quiz which we just took for 25 minutes... We had recess, then Stat.. Sir Sta. Maria shared the story of the "Green Ball". If you're curious about it, hesitate to ask. You might just waste your time listening.. hahaha!!! then we had discussion about graphs once again. Science time was so fun! We examined different animals (preserved with formalin) for our activity. When we checked our activity, people got wrong names of the specimens - squid (octopus :p), mantis (praying mantids :P).. Then we had lunch. I ate with some 2B people at the gym.

Afternoon subjects were alright. We continued watching the movie "The Road Home" during English time. It was really beautiful. Too bad I wasn't able to start it because I was absent. Then, we had discussion on miracles during CLE time. Sir also reminded us of the things to bring for recollection. We had a group activity during RHGP time. We were given lines and we had to complete those lines and make a picture! Our group really did a great job!

Dismissal time, I was with Ice. We bought food from the gym and went around the school 3 times (I think). We shared stories to each other and we were really laughing out loud (lol) all the time! It was really fun! Then I went home and rested.

That's all for today! Gonna rest now since it's just our recollection for tom! See yah! :P

A Day Off

2007-11-12T02:26:00.000-08:00

Today is Monday, back to school and back to studying. My mom woke me up this morning at around 6am to go to school. When I was about to stand up, my head really ached and I was feeling dizzy. So my mom decided that I should stay home and rest. Maybe it was because I was too tired from the APAC. So my sister went to school and I continued sleeping.

I woke up again at 10am, feeling much better. I ate my breakfast, took a bath then watched TV. I ate my lunch, rested for a while and decided to start studying in case some subjects might have quizzes. At around 4pm, my grandma and I left the house for Makati Med. We both had our check-ups -another reason why I was absent. Then, we went home. I started asking what happened this morning and then I studied for the quizzes.

I have to study for Math, Social, Science, Filipino and HE quizzes tom. I'm not even sure if they had additional notes for these subjects. Oh well, I just have to go to school tomorrow as early as possible. Got to go now and study! :P

Home Sweet Home!

2007-11-11T02:25:00.000-08:00

It's so good to be back from Los Banos. The APAC survivors - me,jo,keziah,guia,diane,gela,mikh, kiele, lisette,romano, marc, JR,earl,roman,jonas,lance, and michael - had a really unique which we all enjoyed.

Last thursday, the APAC people were excused again for practice during the afternoon. We had our general rehearsal with the new music teacher(scary), then discussed the things to bring for the activity. That night, I prepared my things-clothes, food, pillow, toiletries. Then I slept and rested.

The next day, we were off the Los Banos. We left the school at around 10am. We had a stop over at Petron to but our breakfast and lunch. We bought our food from mcdo and ate it at the bus. We arrived in Los Banos at 12:30. We checked our groups and room assignments. Then, I had lunch with Lisette. I didn't eat that much because I was still kinda full. After some time, members of each group met and had the usual "introduce yourself". Different schools were there - CSA Binan, La Consolacion College, Novaliches College and more. Each group should choose a servant leader. We chose fourth year people (of course!). Our first group activity was the poster making. Each group should make a symbol for their Augustinian Saint. Our group's saint was Blessed William the Hermit. I had to draw the symbol and it really looks stupid. At least, our group had a poster. Next was to make a cheer integrating the saint. Fortunately, we weren't able to perform. Then, we had the Holy Mass, which was sponsored by our school. I think everything went well and everyone gave their best. Then we had the ritual. Some people performed a ritual. A part of the ritual was killing the chicken. I wasn't able to see it because I was staying at the back. After the ritual was dinner. Before you could go to the cafeteria, you have to walk for 1km (it was really tiring). We discussed things over dinner. We shared stories and laughed. Then, we went back to the gym (Vargas Hall). Father Joel taught us the origami and the ritual before going to sleep. After an hour, we finished the ritual, which was very nice, and it was time to go to sleep. We discovered that we had to walk for 3km, carrying our luggage, before we could reach our dorm. Good thing, a brother helped me. The dorm was fine although the comfort rooms were not! I freshened up and slept.

At 3:30, Jo woke me up and I took a bath. I dressed up, fixed my things and slept again. We woke up at six and prepared ourselves for the morning praise. The morning praise was weird. we had to follow the nuns who were doing an interpretative dance, which was a prayer. After an hour, we ate breakfast. I didn't eat that much because the food was not cooked well. So, the juniors decided to order from mcdo. When we returned, Brother Alvin Barcelona gave a talk. I really can't help but sleep. The talk was fine, but since it was kinda boring, I was sleeping once in a while. Then, we ate our breakfast (mcdo), but it was a secret. We had another talk, then siesta. We had a free ride going back to the gym. It was time for praise and worship. It was so fun! Everyone enjoyed a lot! Another speaker, ate merienda, then practice for the socials. The CSA Makati delegates decided that the Boosters will have a dance number, some will make a skit and each level will perform one of their best cheers from the Cheering Competition. Then we had Mass, dinner which was adobo, another dinner which was spaghetti from mcdo then the Concert. Schools were requested to perform a number for the Concert. I think our school was the best! haha! Then we were off to our dorms to sleep!

The following day was the last day of the APAC activity. We woke up late and missed the morning praise. Then, we ate breakfast which was really good ( hotdog, rice and egg). Then we had mass, picture taking and went home. We had a stop over at the gasoline station for lunch. I ate burger steak for lunch. Then we saw CSA Binan..haha!! wala lang.. We arrived at school and I feel so happy to be home! That's all! I have to rest now since we still have classes tom! :P

APAC Practice

2007-11-06T03:36:00.000-08:00

It's back to school again. After one week of rest and vacation, we are back to being nerds again.. Yesterday, most of the subject teachers returned our PT papers..

Today, I woke up at 6am, took a bath, ate breakfast and went to school. I thought I was going to be late for the flag ceremony because we left the house at 6:55. at least I was able to catch up:)).. We had the normal FC, then went back to the classroom.. As soon as we entered the classroom, an announcement was made.. APAC delegates will have a practice at the Sta. Rita.. We were all happy because we would miss classes again.. haha

We proceeded to the Lecture Room. Seminarian Brothers arrived to teach us the songs which we will be singing during the Mass. It was super laugh trip!!! I kept on laughing because of Keziah and Guia... One of the brothers had a lot of grammar mistakes.. sobra talaga!! We had our recess at 10am.. then we had another round of practicing the songs...

It was already lunch time. Lisette, Mikh and I decided to eat at the gym. It was raining really hard. We had to run going to the gym and we got soooo wet!!! At least after eating,the rain wasn't that hard anymore.. We went to the theater to check the 2B people, but they weren't there. So we went up and asked what we have missed. We went to the Lecture Room again to discuss things with Fr. Joel... The whole ritual was explained and we made the tea candle holder. Then, we had the chance to do the ritual at the CC. The first thing to do was easy. It was just stepping to the right and left. What was hard was passing the candles while moving. Our candle holders were wrecked.. At least we were able to do it properly (i think)..

For the last hour, we discussed the things to bring. Questions were clarified then we went back to the classroom. We saw some 2B people and asked what we have missed. It was not that much, though we were all panicking.. We copied some notes, got test papers and went home..

I am soo tired right now! I don't know why.. But I am sooo excited on Friday!! Hope we have fun!!!

Hooray!

2007-10-25T03:13:00.000-07:00

BIRTHDAY CELEBRATION!

2007-10-20T19:11:00.000-07:00

I just came from my parish involvement. I still feel sleepy. I was about to sleep during the homily. haha.. Anyway, yesterday, I had my birthday celebration. I invited people and we did a lot of things.

Yesterday morning, I was in school for the dance practice for the Marian Procession. I was Guia and Krish. We practiced with a lot of teachers, and ate snacks with them. We were talking about the glorietta bombing which happened last Friday. I really feel sad for the families who suffered especially Noreen.. I think we will be visiting her father on Monday...

I went home at 12nn. Freshened-up and ate lunch. After some time, Earl and then Jo arrived. We talked about the glorietta bombing again. Then Romano, Gela and Raf arrived. We watched the movie, Grease, at the third floor. We weren't able to finish it because we wanted to eat na. We had pasta, chicken, pizza, cheesecake, and potato salad. Earl had 6 rounds of getting food while the rest had 2 only.. DH si Earl eh.. haha!! Then we went to Makati Sports for swimming and bowling.

Jo didn't swim. She just took pictures instead. We had fun in the pool.. PUro pictures sa pool. Then we took a bath and had bowling. Kei arrived! wohhoo!!! We had 2 rounds of bowling. Earl had to leave and wasn't able to finish the bowling. After a while, Jo went home too. So Kei, Romano, Gela, Raf and I went back to my house. We ate more food and fondue! Then we watched 1 vs 100.. For the first time, someone won the 2M.. Super laughtrip habang nanonood because of Kei. At around 9:30, everyone left na.

Too bad we were just few because of the glorietta bombing. I hope you had fun! Hope you liked the activity and food! Thanks for coming. Next year ulit!

Excitement!

2007-10-19T04:11:00.000-07:00

Its been a while since I last blogged.. I was very busy doing homeworks and projects.. At least today is already Friday! Time to rest, relax, and feel comfortable.

Today, I woke up at 6am, took a bath and went to school. People in the classroom were reviewing for the quizzes, either HE or Science. Some were reading books while others were talking. We had our homeroom with Mrs. G, gave us some reminders about the Periodical Test next week. It was also announced that HE quiz was cancelled.

We had Social as our first subject. We discussed about the Chinese and Korean Civilization. It was really interesting. Then we had Science. The pull-out was supposed to have review game. Unfortunately, the rosary was prayed so the game was cancelled. Four of us took the make-up quiz while others did the SW. Then we had PE.. We had the mixed volleyball game. We lost.. but at least we enjoyed. Congrats to 2A!

During lunch time, we stayed at the classroom for it was cold in there. Then we had English. We rechecked our LT. Then we had the review game. The person with the highest score in the LT will be the contestant. The game was 1 vs 42. We had Lisette and Michael as the contestants. I was part of the Unbeatable mob!! Hurrah! I got plus 3 in my LT... We had Math as our last subject. We were asked to answer questions from the book. Then Ms Cabanela took half of the period for the HE quiz. We thought it was cancelled, so everyone panicked. The test was alright although some questions were tricky.

We had our practice for the Readers' Theater. It was not that productive. After 2 hours of practice, I stayed for 30 more mins to watch the props. Then, we all went home..

Tomorrow, I am going to have my birthday party celebration. Although my birthday will still be on the 26th, I wanted to have it tom.. haha.. Hope we enjoy!

Job Well Done

2007-10-05T02:57:00.000-07:00

CONGRATS JO FOR WINNING THE SPELLING CONTEST!!!

Today has really been a great day! We only had 3 classes and we all had fun for the rest of the day. (i think)...

Anyway, I woke up at 6:15am, took a bath, ate breakfast, and went to school. When I arrived, some were doing the Stat homework while others were reviewing for the Science and Fil quiz. After some time, mrs g arrived and the second year had their level mass at the chapel. Then we had another discussion in Stat and Filipino. We had quiz in Science and answered an activity.

Ice, Jonas and Mikh left during Filipino time for the poster making contest. They had it until lunch time. Then we ate at the gym and had meeting with officers for the tableau. When we went up, Jo had to leave for the Spelling Contest. Too bad we were not able to watch because of the tableau practice. After 2 hours, we heard that Jo was the champion of the spelling contest.. We were really happy.. We are proud of you Jo! 2B loves you! We had discussion of the tableau in the classroom then went home..

We were supposed to perform the sabayan tomorrow during the year 2 culminating activity, but it was cancelled.. That's alright.. Goodluck to all of us, especially lance for the tableau... We can do this!

Congrats 2B!!!

2007-10-03T02:52:00.000-07:00

CONGRATULATIONS 2B FOR WINNING THE SABAYANG PAGBIGKAS!!!

Congratulations also to 2I and 1A.. You really did a great job.. 2B, I know that I have been very strict during practices.. I always shout and scold at people... I am really sorry.. I was just doing that so that we can finish the whole presentation.. Anyway, thank you for all the support you gave. Thank you for attending practices even during weekends.. Thank you also for the help of the Sabayan leaders, the props people and especially the officers.. We all deserve to win!

Things which happened today...

We had our first subject which is Computer. We had our quiz, which was easy.. Then we went to the Computer Lab and continued using MS Access... Then Mr trinidad gave us the time to prepare for sabayan during his time. We dressed up and ate recess until 9:40.. We had one round of practice and headed to the theater..

We were the last to perform.. The program started and everything was going well. During the 3rd performance, we heard that lights, sounds and voice overs were not allowed. Everyone panicked. Our whole performance will be very dull if there were no musics and lights. We talked to Mrs. Camartin.. After some time, I saw Mrs. Suplente.. Her section just arrived from their outreach.. Mrs Suplente talked to the Media People and good thing everything was back to normal... It was our turn to perform. We started the voice over, but the music wasn't played. Good thing the vernacular group started dancing and everything practiced was done very well.. Good thing our last practice in the classroom was without music. The class was able to adjust. After some time, the winners were announced. I was really happy when they announced our section as the champion! It was very self-fulfilling. After the program, we had our lunch all together..

We had a tableau practice afterwards... Then a little of CLE discussion... we made bags during RHGP.. then went home.. I will never forget this day... I LOVE YOU 2B!!!

Goodluck to Jo tom for the Spelling Contest and to Lance for the Oratorical.. We are always here to support you guys!

Wasted Effort

2007-09-18T04:33:00.002-07:00

Dear 2B,

Thank you for volunteering me as one of the sabayan leaders. I was very much pleased during that time when leaders were being chosen. We all know how to feel being leaders and as leaders we have our own rules. For me, having fun during practices are not prohibited. But I expect you to give me the respect I need to have.. I don't care if you eat during practices.. I dont care if you flirt with your crushes during practices... All I want is the cooperation from you to win this contest.

You do not know a lot about me... If you can only experience the pressure I feel.. If you can only experience the sermons given to me by my parents... then, maybe you will exert the same effort as I am exerting. I have sacrificed my time and academics for this contest. During the given of report cards, I got surprised for having a grade of 92.7... why? because I expect it to be higher.. Honestly speaking, until now, I am still wondering why I am not part of the top ten... And I think I know the answer to this problem... I focused to much on the sabayan just because I didnt want the class to loose and I have forgotten everything about my academics.

I know there are new comers in this class, but I know that you can adjust to the standards of this class. I know that you think I am too much serious about this contest. That I act like the president of the class... You are saying na "Everytime may sabayan, ang sama ng ugali ko.. Akala mo kung sino siyang leader... Plastic naman".. I accept that... But I hope you dont experience the same thing...

Goodluck sa sabayan on the 27th! Thank you officers and leaders for all the help... You are on you own now! You are free to do whatever you want! Hope you win!

An Ordinary Day

2007-09-18T04:24:00.000-07:00

The cheering competition is near. I am really excited about it. I hope the our batch, the sophies, will get major awards. Today I woke up at 6:15, took a bath, ate breakfast, and went to school. We left the house at 6:45 because we have to be early for the cheering practice. Unfortunately, I was kinda late because of the heavy traffic. Sorry!

We had our flag ceremony at the gym. We practiced the cheers, and I think we did well. Then we had regular classes. We reviewed our past discussiosn in Math about quadratic equations. Tomorrow we are going to have a quiz and our LT will be on thursday. We had discussion in social about the history of West Asia. Everything was related to English, and we remembered everything about it. We had recess.. CLE quiz and discussion.. Science experiment about acids and bases. It was really fun.

We had our lunch at the theater as usual. Talked about the projects and homeworks to be finished. We had Filipino and batch practice at the gym.

Jessica's Birthday Celebration

2007-09-15T00:41:00.000-07:00

Today I woke up at 6:15. I had to go to Makati Med for my ultrasound and laboratory tests. I arrived there at 6:30 only to find out that it opens at 7am. So I waited for 30 minutes, had my ultrasound and blood test. Then, I went home, ate breakfast and went to school for the making of the cheering props.

I met Mikh at the tennis court. Then we went to 2B classroom, where we waited for other people to arrive. We started working at 10. Mrs Suplente and Mrs Cabanela arrived. We exchanged stories about our teachers and other people. We were having fun. Unfortunately, I had to leave at 12nn because of Jessica's birthday celebration.

I ate lunch then prepared for the celebration. I helped in putting up the decorations. At 1pm visitors started to arrive. While they were playing, I was doing the sabayan script and blocking. They were really noisy, so I couldnt concentrate that much. Oh well, kids are like that!

Got to get back to the party. That's all for now! :P

hmmm..

Its been days since I last blogged. I really had a hectic schedule. Anyway, last Monday I was absent because of Gastritis. I had to go to the doctor for check-up. My mom and I waited for 4 hours and ate lunch. Tuesday and Wednesday, we had regular classes - discussions and quizzes.

Yesterday was the giving of report cards. I was really nervous because I think I didn't perform well during the first grading period. I got my card during homeroom time. I was really about my grades although I was kinda sad for not being part of the top 10. Looking on the brighter side, at least I got a gold eagle. I will just do my best this second quarter.. Oh! Congratulations to everyone for getting high grades last quarter! Congrats to the top 10, keep it up! :P We had props during dismissal time and ordered Mcdo. Then I fetched my parents and sister. We ate at Starbucks as prize for having good grades. We really enjoyed it. Then we went home.

Today, I woke up at 6:15, took a bath, ate breakfast and went to school. When I arrived, the whole class was busy studying for the social and science quiz. Others were doing the Math homework. We reviewed as a class and made some announcements for sabayan.

We had a quiz in social. It was a give away test! It was really easy. Then we discussed as a group the tarpaulin we are supposed to make for the Academic Week. We chose the country Thailand! We really have great ideas! Then we had science quiz. It was also a give away test! Then we discussed our project for the second quarter. we had practical test during PE time.. It was really fun! Then we had lunch.. discussed some sabayan details..

We had a grammar discussion during English time. I love grammar! Had a seatwork. Then sir gave us time to do our own Sijo poems. We had quadratic equations in Math.. Same discussion as last meeting.. haha.. I like exercises more than discussions.. haha!!! I wasn't able to attend the batch practice because of the check up I have. I'll just catch up!

Tomorrow, I will have my lab tests at MMC.. Then props for cheering.:P That's all for now!

fun! fun! fun!

Today, we have props making for cheering and meeting for sabayang pagbigkas. I woke up at 8 am, took a bath, ate breakfast and watched TV. My dad had to drop my mom somewhere for her appointment. Then he fetched me and went to Francis' house. I stayed inside the car for 10 mins, waiting for other people to arrive. Then Gela, Earl, Michael and Kei arrived.

It's my second time at Francis' house. So we still stayed at the 3rd floor. While waiting for people to arrive, we played twister. The twister is a test for one's flexibility. :) We really enjoyed a lot. When Mikh arrived, we started making the props. While working, we were eating popcorn and sandwich. It was really delicious. We were able to finish 300 hand props. :) Then we rested for a while and worked again. We ordered pizza from yellow cab. Still, francis made pasta, more sandwiches, hotdog and drinks. We were really eating a lot of food!

When Allan and Lisette left, Keziah arrived. After eating our lunch, the officers and leaders had their meeting for the sabayan. We talked about the entrance, the 1st and the 2nd part. For every idea that we suggest, there was a spoof coming from Kei or Earl. We were really laughing a lot. And until now, my tummy hurts for that. :) Then we decided to rest for awhile.

After a few minutes, we decided to watch a movie. We were supposed to watch 1408, but francis did not have a tape. We tried watching Scary Movie 3 and Date Movie but we did not like it. So we decided to watch White Chicks again while eating mcflurry :) We still appreciated it although we watched it a million times. Then I had to leave.

When I left francis' house, we ate our merienda at North park. I was really hungry at that time. So I ate noodles and siomai. Then we went home. My cousin arrived to spend the night with us. We watched half of the movie, Perfect Man. I will also ask help from her for the research problems. haha!

I really had fun this day! Hope to experience it again next time! That's all for now!

Too Much Pressure!

2007-09-07T04:32:00.000-07:00

There are too many activities this second quarter.. There is the upcoming cheering competition.. I am part of the props and design and also the squad.. Then, I have to plan for the finals of the sabayang pagbigkas.. There are too many interuptions and the periodical exams are near.. I can't take it anymore! help me!

Anyway, I woke up at 6:3o since I was too tired yesterday. Then I took a bath, dressed up, ate breakfast and went to school. When I arrived in school, the regular science class were studying for their quiz.. Some were asking me questions about their lesson, but I couldn't answer it.. I haven't memorized the terms in cell..haha! What a pull-out student! :) During homeroom, we had some reminders and had regular classes.

We had social as our first subject. We still discussed things about the patterns and periodization.. We were still not ourselves during social time, even though it was the first subject. We were all feeling tired and sleepy.. Then we had the paraliturgical service for Mama Mary's birthday.. During science time, we had our experiment while the regular class had their quiz. It was so cool that we finished 4 experiments in 30 minutes. Then we had our recess and props during PE time...

We had an APAC meeting during lunch time with Ms Ekid. She gave us some reminders about the activity. Then we had to eat our lunch really fast. We had English as our next subject. Instead of having the formal writing of the composition we made last Wednesday, we had to make our own research problem. We spent the whole hour thinking for some, but we were not successful.. Only Allan finished the task and he got 99! wow! Then we had our math class.. We had our quiz papers back and sir allowed us to resolve some numbers.. Good thing I was able to answer everything!

We had our props making for the cheering. We were all laughing when Lisette announced that the props who are part of the regular PE class should join the squad! what?!?! yeah, we had to join the squad too! Hope we can still finish the props! haha! Then I stayed near the HTO until 5:30.. Then I went home..

Good thing its friday today! At least I can rest... Oh! We still have props and sabayan tom at Francis house.. That's all for now! :)

I am too Tired!!

2007-09-06T04:43:00.000-07:00

This week had a hectic schedule.. Cheering practices..Props and Designs... Sabayan... And I am really tired right now. I need really need days to rest and relax!!

Anyway, today I woke up at 5:30 since we had to prepare for the sabayan eliminations. I took a bath, dressed up, ate breakfast and went to school.. When I arrived, I saw around 8 2B people.. I was really expecting more of them coming to school early.. We had one round pratice of the whole piece and practiced the intonations. Mrs Guillermo saw it, and I think she liked it! haha!

Sir Manaay, was already present.. He allowed us to practice for the sabayan, but the other sections were complaining. So we had to stop and have our English class.. We had the continuation of the group presentation.. I think I am starting to like literature now..haha! Then we had Stat.. We had our quiz which was kind of confusing.. Then we changed into our costumes and had final reminders for the sabayan..

I was really nervous about it. We really haven't taken the last part of the piece seriously. I gave them the final instructions.. Soon, the judges arrived. The class was able to perform with the best of their abilities. :) They really gave it all!! I think the judges were amazed!! haha!!

Then we had our lunch, which was spent doing our groupwork in research. When classes after lunch were about to resume, Mrs Guillermo told us that we entered the finals of the Sabayan! I was really happy and excited! Hope we can win the Sabayan this year! Let's go 2B! The other sections who entered the finals were 2I and 2J! Congratulations and God Bless! :)

We had our research and discussed terms.. Afterwards, we had our really challeging and hard math quiz.. I was able to answer everything, but I am not sure with my answers! haha! We had new lesson in social.. Then Props making!

I really love making the props.. It makes me feel relaxed and helps me forget about the pressure in the classroom.. We had a lot of fun doing the props.. Then I went home and rested!

Well, that's all for now! :)
