Christmas

We spent our Christmas in Batangas, just like every year. We spent it with our other relatives. We came there on the 24^th. Our plan was to stay there until the 25^th but we changed it to be until the 26^th. That means we get to stay there longer. Basically, we just play computer games in the morning and go swimming the rest of the day. It may sound a bit boring but it’s not, especially since I’m with my cousins.

On the 25^th, it’s Christmas but I really didn’t feel it. It felt like a regular day but on vacation. It was really fun but it didn’t feel like Christmas. It’s probably because there’s no Christmas decoration and nobody talks about Christmas. Also, we didn’t go to mass. I think it’s the first time in my life that I didn’t go to church on Christmas. It’s a good thing we did on the day after. Even though it’s after Christmas, that’s the day I felt Christmas because of the mass. The church was filled with decorations and the songs were all for Christmas and I can’t explain it properly but it’s like there was this aura in that place that just makes you feel happy and light, and like it’s Christmas.

Proud

You told me you would support me in whatever it is that I wanted to do. So why do I feel like you don’t care about what I do. You barely listen to me when I tell you about successes I get at school. Can’t you tell that it hurts me when you don’t pay attention to me? You probably had no idea that I almost cried when you didn’t attend my awarding when I was a freshman. That was a very important day for me and you weren’t there.

You also told me that you wanted me to be active in church activities. Well, I found the perfect way to do that. I joined YFC. Every day, I tell you about what we do there and how much I love it but you don’t listen to me. I really thought you’d be proud of me. Now, you tell me that I should just quit. Don’t you think it would hurt me if you tell me to quit something I really like? I thought you’d be proud of me.

PSP2

What is the matter with you? What wrong did we ever do to you? Why do you act that way?
For very long now, I've always disliked you. That was it. I don't hate you because there is no reason for me to. I know that you have an absolutely terrible attitude but it was usually affected only other people so I didn't really care about it. I just let it go.
I don't do anything about it. I don't do anything that could put you in a difficult position. I just think of you as a regular person. We're not close but I don't hate you. I really don't like talking to you because of your attitude so I never start a conversation. However, when you're the one who starts it, I don't ignore you. I answer your questions but my tone is usually dismissive.
That's it. I just disliked you. Now, I despise you. I don't think this would be surprising to you. I'm not the only person who feels this way and I think you know that already. I think I have a good enough reason to hate you. It's your fault for butting in other peoples businesses. I still can't believe someone could do that. We were already in trouble without your help so why do you have to make it worse?
I still can't completely understand why you have to be that way. I've heard of people wanting to be the best. There's nothing wrong with that if you do so in the right way. If you want to be the best, do the best you can. It's fine with me if you try to boost yourself up if it's by improving your self. However, your way is to put other people down. You always try to put others in trouble. I actually thought that you already changed since the first time something like this happened. But I guess I was wrong. Maybe you will never change.

Naic

It’s the 8^th of December today. It’s the birthday of my brother, it’s the Immaculate Conception, and it’s feast in Naic.

My friends wanted to go to the fiesta so I went with them. We weren’t allowed to go during lunch so we went after school. I loved it when we went on rides especially on the octopus. It was really fun and scary. The scariest part is when the ride suddenly goes up and down. When it goes down, I feel like my seat goes down but I’m left up in the air. My heart beats so quickly during those moments. We also rode other rides but they were a bit boring.

Other than that, the whole day was so fun, especially because there were many of us to enjoy it.

Diary

When I was younger, I wanted to have a diary and write everything that happens in my life in it. I already imagined me writing on my diary about every single day of my life. I imagined having that and then reading everything when grow older and think about how much I’ve changed. One day, I found a really cute diary and bought it. Going home from the mall, I already had an idea of how I would start. My thoughts were running wild about what I would write. When I got home, nothing happened. I didn’t write on it. That happened when I was in elementary, about three years ago. Now, my diary doesn’t have a single word written on it. I never wrote anything on it.

Last Christmas, Jona gave me a diary. This time, I did write on it. I wrote about where I got the diary and everything that happened on the Christmas party. That was the first entry, dated somewhere on December 2008. I promised myself that I would regularly write on the diary. Guess when my next entry was written. It was on December 30, 2009. It was a year after the first entry.

I don’t know why I never feel like writing on it. For so many times that a special event happens, I think about writing it on my diary and end up not doing it. I always say that I would do something and end up not doing it. I don’t know why I’m like that. I don’t like the attitude but it’s the way I am for as long as I could remember. I don’t think it would be easy to change it.

YFC

Our youth camp just ended today. I am finally an official member of the YFC. I am so happy that I am a member now. I also love the camp itself.

I liked the talks especially the talk 3. I learned a lot from all the talks. In the discussions, I was able to share some things but I was still a little shy. The most memorable part was the surprise at the end of the camp. I really didn’t expect my reaction. My mom came at the end to show her support in me being in the YFC. I was sitting in a chair at our gym just like the rest of us and I was watching the parent of the others coming to them and giving them letters. I was just staring straight waiting for someone to give me a letter, too. I felt like I wanted to cry at that time because no one was going to me. I was thinking that my parents didn’t go because they were busy. Then, I turned around and just burst out crying in front of my mom. I never thought my mom would ever see me cry like that. I was crying like a baby because of the joy I felt when I saw her. I couldn’t stop crying.

New Moon

Today’s the showing of my most awaited movie this year, New Moon. I’m so excited already. I can’t stop talking about it this morning. I think some of the people with me today is already sick of hearing new moon from me. haha!

We’re going to watch it tomorrow and nothing’s gonna stop us. My friends and I have planned to watch this since the showing of Twilight (We also have a plan to watch eclipse already). We even already had the date set so there’s no reason for any of us not to go. There’s actually still a problem with one of my friends. She's not allowed to go. She's still trying to convince her guardians to let her go. I don’t know if she can still make it. I hope she does. We will find out tomorrow.

I am confident that this will be a great movie because I saw the trailer and it looked great! It is also because New Moon is maybe my second favourite book, next to Breaking Dawn. I love it because it’s so sad that it almost made me cry. Another reason is that it’s the favourite book of Rob Pattinson...XD.

Diet

This had become a very common topic between the two of us. I really think it’s great to have someone who can understand me about this because everyone else that I talk to about this says that I don’t need it. I like having someone to talk to about it but I think since we started talking about it, she never forgot it. I think she never got it out of her mind. I think we shouldn’t think about it too much. However, she is always opening the topic now. I think it’s become a big deal to her. I don’t think she should think about it that way. It’s not like she’s fat. She doesn’t need to reduce. It’s fine if she wants to lose some weight to be healthier but I hope she doesn’t starve herself because of it(well, I think she really wouldn't).

Allowance

I don’t like our way of getting allowance. For one thing, there is no schedule. My mom only gives us allowance if we don’t have money anymore. If we still do, she wouldn’t give us money. What’s worse is, if I don’t have money but my sister still does which something that's not unusual, my mom would ask me why that happens and sometimes tell me that I should be like my sister. I hate hearing that. I hate being compared to her like that. And if I get additional, my sister would have some, too. It isn't fair. She gets so much excess and I get none.

With this, I can’t save any money. I also believe that this is a factor in me not learning how to budget because I don’t have a stable amount of allowance. I’d rather have it given once a week only. That way, we can learn to save up with a limited amount of money.

Review

Vhil, Camille, Nicole, and I were supposed to be excused from class starting last Monday until sometime in November to study for the coming Math competition. We were excused for only three and a half days(Monday to the morning of Thursday) instead of 5 this week. It's because our review was postponed to the week after the PT. I wouldn't have a problem with this change if they told it to us before we even started the review so that we wouldn't have missed so many lessons in class. Because we were excused, I didn't worry much about our lessons in class because I knew that we were excused from the PT. However, now that were not excused, we should take the PT next week just like the rest of our class. Now that we already missed so many sessions, I'm not sure if I can catch up enough to be able to take the PT. I hate the fact that they didn't decide on postponing the review earlier so we wouldn't be worrying about this now. They shouldn't have pulled us out of class in the first place.
For now, I guess I just have to accept the fact that I can't do anything about the what happened. I can't change the past. I should just deal with what's happening now. I will do my best in catching up and taking the test and just hope for the best.

Camping

We went to the regional science camp this week. I really wanted to go because my classmates told me how fun the last camping was. They said that they had new friends there. On the camp, we were grouped randomly so the members of each group were from different schools. That's how we find new friends. We get to interact with others unlike other campings where we just stay with our barkada. However, I didn't find a new friend that I really liked. I talked to some but it was like we couldn't have a long conversation. It felt awkward. It's like most of the members of our group were very shy.
The most memorable part of our camp was the nature trail. There was a part there where we had to walk through a flooded dump site. It was so disgusting but still exciting. We had to remove our slippers so we walked barefoot. I don't even want to think about what I was stepping on and what was getting stuck in my feet. It was traumatizing. I don't think I'd ever do that again. But it was a nice experience. It will make you think of what farmers do everyday. I idolize them now. XD

Permission

Sometimes it's hard to understand my father. When I want to go somewhere, like on a camping trip, when I ask him if I can go, he doesn't answer immediately. He is still asking so many questions that somehow lead me to think about not going. I know that my dad is a genuinely nice person which is why I can't tell what he's thinking. I'm afraid that he is not directly saying that I can't go because, since he really is a good person, he doesn't want to hurt me when he tells me that I can't go. If I really want to go somewhere, this is good because I can always go. However, if I'm not sure whether I want to go or not, I'm hoping for him to decide for me. If he says no, then I won't go. The problem is that he never says no. He just tells me that if I really want to go, then I can go. Because of that, I can't tell if would prefer me not to go. Just a few weeks ago, something like this happened. I needed to tell my friend early if I can go or not so that she can invite someone else if I'm can't. My mother said that it's up to my father. To me, it's okay if they don't allow me but they should tell me right away. I sent my father a text about it. He wouldn't answer yes or no immediately. He is still asking so many questions about where I'm going. I really needed an answer at that time so I told my mom(she had the phone at that time) to text him that if doesn't want me to go, he can just tell me. He replied that I was rushing him and that he will just talk to me about it when he gets home. I didn't text him after that. I was a bit irritated because he couldn't tell a straight answer. I have no problem if he says no so why can't he just tell me? It's a good thing his answer was yes so I wouldn't have to tell my friend to make adjustments. I hope that on the next time, he would say that I can't go if he doesn't want me to.

Ondoy

Why is it that when a storm this strong will come, there isn't much warnings? I didn't even know that a storm was coming until Ondoy was already here. It's probably one of the reasons that the results were that bad. The Filipinos weren't prepared. So many were left homeless. Even the rich and famous couldn't do anything about it. Even they were stranded. Marikina was left flooded for days. People lived on their roofs. Motorists were stranded. Fields were flooded.
We're very lucky that we weren't affected so much. We should be thankful. We should help those who weren't as fortunate. There are many ways to help. You can donate canned goods, clothes, and other things that can help the typhoon victims. If you can't, simply praying for the victims can help a lot.

Sign in

Sometimes, I write down my blog entries on my notebook before publishing it because I don’t have the time to use the computer. That’s why my blog isn’t always updated. I update it maybe every two or three weeks.
Just a few days ago, I tried to update my blog. There was a problem. I couldn’t sign in. There was a problem in the page. It was an untrusted website. I can’t open the page to log in. I asked my sister about it and she said that it happened before already. It happened to her in facebook. She said it will be accessible eventually. However, it’s been so long already. I’m not sure if it will really fix itself. For now, I don’t post my blogs but I do write them down in MS Word. I’ll just post it as soon as I can.

Magic

This week, we finally confessed about the magic that we were doing. At first, I thought her reaction was so OA but later on, I realized that we deserved that punishment. Besides, it was just for one day. It was over on the next day. I think the punishment really affected us all.
When I was in elementary, I was different. I can't do the magic that I do now. If I do do it, I don't easily forget about it. I feel guilty when I do it. Now, I don't. Especially since I'm not the only one doing it, I don't have a problem with it. However, I don't think I go too far. There are still types of magic that I think is too much for me to do. I still feel guilty about that. I do only simple little things. But still, they're magic and I know that it's wrong.
Now that we're caught and almost everyone knows it, I think it made a big difference. I can't guarantee that all of us completely stopped doing it but I can say that all of us changed so much. It was lessened so much. I'm not even sure if it is still being done.

Saulog

Of all the buses I've been on, Saulog was the worst. I just hated it especially the older ones. I even remembering referring to it as something out of a horror movie. The colors of that bus were dark, the light was dim, and the cover of the seats were damaged. And when we rode there, it was night time already.
When I ride other buses, I feel relaxed but when on a Saulog, I'm always dizzy. Just today we rode on one. I already had a headache before riding but when I did, I felt so much worse. I tried to find a comfortable position so I could sleep or at least not feel dizzy. I tried leaning back but when I did, my head has to look up and that didn't make me feel so good. I tried leaning forward but I couldn't rest while holding that position so it didn't work, either. When I lied my head on my bag, it wasn't relaxing but it was good enough for me to sleep.
When I got out of the bus, I heard other people talking about how dizzy they all were. I guess it wasn't just me. I was quiet then and still feeling dizzy. I didn't want to talk because I wanted to throw up. Riding the tricycle, I did throw up.
At home, I went straight to the couch, lied there, watched some TV and eventually fell asleep.

Lunch

The school now requires us to eat lunch inside the school. Our only choice is to either eat at the canteen or in our room with packed lunches. Since I don’t like eating at our canteen that much, I just bring lunch. Besides, it’s fun that way because we have a greater variety of viands.
My point is that it has some of negative effects. One is that it takes so long to cook the food at home so I leave home late already. I almost never get to ride the school bus. I really want to ride there because I’m more comfortable there than on a jeepney. On the bus, I can sleep until we’re inside the school so I don’t have to worry about oversleeping and not being able to get off the jeep at the right place. The problem is, no matter how early I get ready to leave, I still have to wait for my mom to finish fixing my lunch. I really hate not getting to ride the bus. I blame it all on the new law. ^^

Fiesta

August 28, it's fiesta in Tanza. The day is Friday so it's okay for us to go home late because there's no classes on the next day. Though I would prefer there to be no classes. On the other hand, I don't really need a whole day to go out for the fiesta because only few invited me to come. In fact, there's only two: Nikko and Tami. In our whole class, there are 9 people from Tanza. I'm from Julugan and our fiesta is still on April. Arrenzo and Jed are from Amaya which has a separate date for celebration of fiesta, too. Mizpah, from Calibuyo also doesn't celebrate fiesta on the same day as the rest of Tanza. That only leaves Camille, Maedenne, Jjamppong, Nicole, and Nikko. Camille's and Maedenne's religion doesn't have fiestas. I can't understand what's with John Paul but they aren't celebrating either. All the members of Nicole's family are out so they can't prepare for it. That leaves Nikko. Then, Paul also invited us so we'll go there, too.

When we came to Tami's house, none of the other people he invited was there. I don't know if they were just late or if they really didn't go. It was really fun there. We ate and the food was so good! Then for maybe an hour, we just chatted. We even saw the hot air balloons from their house. It's my first time seeing them. It was so cool. They're like little stars in the sky. There were so many.
After that, we came to Nikko's house. Too bad Paul's mom didn't allow him to go with us. We didn't know where Nikko's house exactly was so we still had to ask. It's a good thing the people we asked knew where he lived so we got there. At school, I heard that Joshua and the other boys will go there too so we expected to see them. When we arrived in front of Nikko's house, his mom came up to us and was confused. She said that Nikko just left and the other's weren't coming until tomorrow. When his mom called him, we found out that he went out to look for us. On our way we didn't see each other. He then hurried home. When he came, it was like he was drunk! (Nikko, peace! xD) He was walking around and never stayed on one spot. While we were there, we saw some trophies. They were for when Nikko won Mr. TCDC. He won that and most of the other prizes on that contest. It was so amazing. He even told us that at that time, he was still shy. Who would believe that? He was Mr. TCDC and he was shy?!
When I got home, I was already so tired. But all the fun we had was so worth it.

August

This month passed by so quickly. It's like I haven't felt it being August yet but now, it's almost over. It's probably because of all the days we have no classes. Almost all Fridays of this month has no classes. In fact, I already miss my GSP uniform. It's been so long since I last wore it. Anyway, I'm not sure if having less days in class is good for me. I love the fact that I get to stay at home, lie on my bed, and watch TV or just take a nap. I don't have to worry about all the school work. I don't have to get exhausted in school. However, I don't want time to move so quickly and that's what happens when I'm at home. It's like days pass by without me doing anything worthwhile. It's like that's what's happening this whole month. I'm not rushing this school year. I feel like I'm not yet ready for it to be over.

Braces

For months, I've been begging my parents to get me braces. I really wanted to get my teeth aligned properly already. I didn't want to graduate with braces or with bad teeth let alone make it to college. I wanted to get this over with as quickly and as early as possible. My mom agreed with me to an extent. She, too, wanted me to go to college with good teeth. The problem was that my sister has teeth that are way worse than mine. They were decided that her teeth was the priority. It's a good thing I got into my parents conscience. I kept telling them how unfair it would for my younger sister to get braces before I do. It would be so unfair for her to graduate with perfect teeth while I would go to college with bad ones. They decided that we would get braces at the same time.
My big brother already had braces. He didn't seem to feel pain when he had them. His appetite didn't even lessen the slightest bit. So I thought that I would be able to handle the pain just as well as he did. I was wrong. I had braces on Friday, a day before the fiesta in Maragondon. I already promised my classmates that I will go. My problem was eating. After getting the braces, I couldn't chew. My teeth hurt whenever they were moved. The date I had them was probably the worst date to get braces. When it's fiesta, off course we will eat. And as expected, most of the food tasted great. Everyone else with me had a stomach ache because they were so full while mine ached because of hunger and jealousy. They loved the food so much while I get to eat only tiny pieces of food because those didn't need to be chewed. It was such a bad choice of day to get braces.

Mio

August 1, Saturday, the District Interact Assembly was held at San Sebastian College. There were 9 of us from CNSHS who joined. When I joined, I really had no idea what I was getting myself into. I didn't even know what Interact Club actually does. I guess that was the very reason I joined, I wanted to know about Interact.
In the assembly, we noticed someone that looks like me. She's the girl beside me in the photo. We don't look so similar in the photo but I swear, in side-view, she looks so much like me. I don't know anything about her. All I know is her name because Emer asked her but that's it. We didn't talk at all. The only conversation we had was when I asked her if I could take a picture with her and she said sure. That was it. I wanted to find out about her because I was really was intrigued with how much we look alike. I tried searching her name in friendster but I didn't find her. Besides, it's not like there was a big chance that I would find her knowing only her first name where I'm not even sure about the spelling.
In the assembly, all we did was listen. It was somewhat boring. What's worse is that I was alone in the first session. It's because Ate Tenten took the UPCAT so she couldn't attend in the morning. She was supposed to be my companion so since she couldn't come, I was alone. Aside from that, the assembly was fun. I learned a lot. I even saw Paolo, he was my classmate in first year. I didn't expect seeing him.

Spanish

In the start of classes, we were told that we will have a new subject. We will be having Spanish classes. Our batch is lucky because, this was offered only to us 3rd year students and will be offered to the fourth years next year(that's us, too). I think everyone of us was excited for that.
At first, we thought that all of us will have the chance to learn Spanish but it turns out that only those with a grade of 90 or higher in English last year can participate. Instead of 95 students, only 31 are included. What's worse is that four from 3N can't join. What will they do while the rest of us have class? It's a good thing they let them join, too. Now, the whole 3N is included.
Many weeks passed and we still haven't taken our diagnostic test for it. The problem is our schedule. We don't have free time. We have only an hour of free time on Fridays but that is used for clubs. We're not allowed to have classes at that time. The only solution we had was to have classes every afternoon recess. At first, we tried it but we just couldn't make it work. It wasn't a good time to have class.
For now, we are waiting for a new schedule for it. While there is still no time for it, Spanish class is on hold. But I won't lose hope. I will be patient in waiting because I am really looking forward to this class.

SM

Showing of Harry Potter 6 is July 16, Thursday. My friends and I made plans to watch it together on the first weekend of showing. Our plan was on Sunday so I woke up late on Saturday. It was Saturday and my family said that we will watch Harry Potter then. I said that I wasn't sure if I will join them because I'm still waiting for confirmation with my friends. Then, Ariane called. She asked me if I will join them. They will go on the same day as my family. She asked me who I will go with. My father wants me to join my family but I chose my friends because it's not that often that I hang out with my friends outside school so I can't let this chance walk away from me.
I was already dressed-up when I checked my phone. It had one message asking me if I will go to the birthday party of my former classmate. What are the chances that 3 events that I want to go to happened at the same time? I miss my former classmates so I really want to go but I have plans already so I couldn't. I still chose my current classmates.
When we got to SM Dasma, we went straight to the cinemas. There, we were supposed to meet our other classmates. Then, all of us saw Lance. Then we looked at each other. It wasn't him but he looks exactly like Lance. Later on, we found out that they were brothers.
We bought the tickets then roamed around. We bought our snacks. When we came back to the cinemas, we were late already. They said that we can still go in but we have to leave at the end so we won't be able to start the movie. So we decided to wait for the next showing. We already bought so much snacks. We didn't know what to do with them. We didn't want to eat them yet. We just carried the snacks while going around the mall. One hour before the showing of the movie, we fell in line already so we wouldn't run out of seats. While waiting, we ate our snacks. It was like a little camping, we ate on the floor.
In the movie theater, we sat on the very last row. Since we're at the back and the movie isn't starting yet, we were so noisy. We were laughing so much. Then the people beside us were so KJ. They told us to be quiet. The movie wasn't even starting yet then they will complain already. So throughout the movie, we were silent. When it was over, we shopped a little bit and immediately went home. Along the way home, we talked about Harry Potter. All of us thought it was quite good. Not really the best but also not bad.
At home, my family came and the first thing they said was that the movie was so bad. I didn't think so. I couldn't understand how they all agreed that it was really bad.
Overall, the day was very tiring but still so much fun. I hope to do it again. Actually, we already have a plan to watch New Moon on its first weekend screening.

Giving up

Last year, I think we had a maximum of about 3 assignments a day. If you compare that to now, the difference is so much. Third year is so much more difficult. That's why, I couldn't agree more with everyone saying that 2nd year was the easiest year in high school.
In the first three weeks of 3rd year, all I did at home was do homework(well, not really but mostly). For every subject, there would be an assignment. Not a simple assignment where you would just answer an activity in the book. Mostly, the assignments require so much reading and hard work. I wouldn't complain so much if only one or two subjects needed this. The problem was, most of the subjects had long assignments. I absolutely hated it. If this routine continued, I would just quit.
The following week, everything changed. We barely had classes. And without classes, there would be no homework. I was so happy. Then, I stopped myself from being too excited. I told myself that I shouldn't get my hopes up because maybe this is just for now and will be back to how it was before the following days. Days passed and we had regular classes again with regular homework. Though there were more work than there was the last week, they weren't as difficult as the first three weeks. I didn't need to stay up as late as before. This much work, I can handle.
Then I thought to myself, if things hadn't gone better, would I really give up? The answer is no. I wouldn't completely give up. Studying in CNSHS may be difficult but in the long run, this will help me live a more successful life. Giving up wouldn't do any good to anyone. Doing so will just stop you from achieving all your dreams. There's no point in doing it.

Blogging

I never considered myself as someone who can write well so I'm ashamed of posting blogs. I'm not really proud of the compositions I can create. That's why I prefer just having diaries and have only the teacher see my work instead of blogging and letting everyone read this. Unfortunately, I'm not the teacher and I don't make the rules so who am I to complain, right?

I looked at some of the blogs of my classmates and all it did was discourage me. I saw their posts and each one is very long. Mine is very short. Also, the words they use are very deep. The words I use are very simple. Even my sentences are very simple. That's just how I construct sentences. For me, as long as it makes sense and grammatically correct, it's a good enough sentence. However, if you compare it with others, my work is like made by an elementary student.

Feria

Thank you, Feria!

Because of the storm, classes were suspended for two days. It was quite boring because I can't do anything. All I did was watch TV for 2 full days. However, I would choose an extremely boring day over 2 sessions of AP anytime. Like what most of my classmates said, AP time is the end of the world. Every breaktime just before AP, all of us are studying for it. Ever since ever, I really hated this subject but when we were 1st and 2nd year, I didn't feel this way. I still don't like it but atleast I don't hate it. Now that we're third years, it looks like I'm back to hating the subject. I just hate memorizing and that's something we really need for this subject.

It was feast of San Juan but I didn't get to join my siblings in celebrating it. If there are no classes, I sleep too much and wake up at around 11:00 already. The feast is celebrated in the morning so I was still asleep then. I didn't even know that they celebrated it until dinner time and my family talked about it. Then, I remembered that sometime in the morning, my little brother woke me up by spraying me with water. I was too sleepy for my mind to process what happened so it didn't come to my mind that he was spraying me with water because of the feast. I just went back to sleep.

A(H1N1)

This morning, there were only 25 of us in class instead of 31. They are all sick. There's a big possibility that they just infected one another because they were all together last Saturday for the practice of the exercise. We don't know yet if it is A(h1n1) but it's a possibility. I'm just wondering, if it is that flu, where could it have possibly originated. I haven't heard about any of them having contact with some who can possibly be infected also.

Three of those excused today are Joshua, Nikko O., and Jed. We are always going home together with these three so you can say that we are pretty close. This afternoon, it's kind of wierd because it's not usual for us to go home with just all girls. However, it's still okay because it is fun to chat with Nicole, Mizpah, and Carisse.

I heard from Mr. Sanglay that as of this afternoon, the temperature of Joshua and Jed is somewhere between 39 and 40 degrees. That's pretty high. I hope all of them get better soon.

School Bus

When I was a 1st and 2nd year student, I ride the school bus when going to school almost everyday. I think it's because my brother is always rushing me. Though I don't like it when he's forcing me to move faster, I think it's better than being slow and just riding the jeep and I really like getting to school early.

I'm more comfortable riding the school bus than the jeepney. And when I ride the school bus, I'm assured that the time I will arrive at the school is early and I will be in the first 10 in the log book. When riding a jeepney, I'm not sure of the time.

For the past 3 weeks, I've only rode the bus, exactly 2 times. I think this is because my brother is not there anymore to rush me. Also, my sister is just as slow as I am or maybe slower so we're always late in leaving the house.

GSP

Ever since the first week of classes as a third year student, I've always looked forward to Fridays. The main reason is that we get to wear our new GSP uniform. I just absolutely love the design! Especially the pants!
I think our GSP pants can be worn even when just going out because it's design is not really like for girl scouts. The shirt is just okay with me. I have no problem with it but I also don't really love it like the pants.
I hope our GSP uniform when we become fourth year is as cute and as comfortable as ours now. I feel like the GSP for 4th years now are not comfortable though I haven't tried it on so maybe I'm mistaken. The thing that I don't like the most about that uniform is that it doesn't have pockets. I need pockets! I place so many things in my pocket and if there are none, where will I place them? I don't like carrying things in my hands so much.

3N

Wow! I can't believe it! I'm a third year student already!

Our second yr. in high school flew by so quickly.
I'm so glad that the whole 2N last year is still together as 3N and with 8 new classmates.

Before, I really thought some of us will be transfered to a different section because there are too many of us. It's good that there are only 3 sections now because the whole 2N would still be together, including ma'am Arceo!
The only problem is that the room given to us is not big enough for all of us so we are crowded there. Other than that, I'm happy with having 30 classmates because that would mean more fun!
