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.
