Take it from me

…And make Butuan flood. Yes people, Butuan City is flooding with water, and there is nothing that can stop the rain from falling.

For the past couple of days, it’s nothing but rain, rain, rain. And the result? Floods. Dirty, murky waters. Wet clothes. Wet socks. I haven’t been properly dry since December. And even in school, the campus is flooding with water! We even had to wear slippers. Well, a lot of students have, but I refuse to. I need my own slippers. But I could also wear those rubber boots right? I have a pair anyway.

I actually want to see the sun tomorrow. It’s kinda cool to wake up shivering because it’s cold because of the rain though. But I need to be dry!!

Phew! That’s all the updates of my life so far. Until next time!

Why is it, that the 3rd Periodic Test every year always falls on January, and always falls near my birthday??? Kamalasan talaga. This is the first time that my birthday is going to be the same day as our 3rd Periodic Test. When I first saw the announcements, I thought they were kidding. But then, our teachers announced that indeed, the 3rd Periodic will be on my birthday!! Nooooooo…!!!

Not a lot of people in my class know about my bday, except my SPED classmates. Darn. What an unlucky way to start the year. I’m still sick, still have asthma, and my bday’s gonna be on the 3rd Periodic. January’s supposed to be my month, instead, it’s gonna suck.

Huhuhuhuhuhuhu… not fair!! I wish I could do something about this. But I can’t. I can’t look for something to look forward to. Things are not going my way!!!!

I’ll continue to be pathetic now. So, goodbye. And a shout out to kuya Arthur who had to state the obvious about the topic, but thanks for greeting me in advance. I really appreciate that. And a shout out to the peeps who greeted me in advance too!

What a great way of ending the year!!! I had to have asthma just as the year’s about to end. Darn. I hate having asthma!!! I can’t breathe!!!

That’s about it guys. ‘Till next time!! Happy New Year to All!

Well, I’m here in QC… and today is our Christmas Party in school! Shame I missed my first Christmas Party as an ANHS student… but certain things have to be sacrificed… and there are certain perks to my coming early to QC…

I’m actually missing my friends now. I’m the only one missing im our ‘barkada’… everyone else is there!! Huhuhu… and I’m missing other peeps too…

Anyway, yesterday, I got back from one tiring shopping day. My tita, cousin Les and I went to Divi to buy some stuff… that was actually one big sack bag full of stuff. It was fun. Divi was full of people. But then, that’s always the scenario there and in Binondo… I forgot to buy Haw Flakes there in Eng Bee Tin. (note to self: buy Haw Flakes!)

I was able to buy the stuff I needed. But I really wanna go to SM or Robinsons now. This Friday, my tito told me that Sponge Cola will be performing in SM Fairview (which is so near our place here!)… but I don’t know if I could watch… my tito told me about the rockers there…

Well, that’s all I got for today… until next time…

P.S.

I need Rivermaya now!!

Today, me and my groupmates in the Decorating Committee were supposed to decorate the classroom. Guess what? We weren’t allowed in. We already had a letter signed by our adviser, but the guards didn’t take it cause there was no signature from our principal. And the principal won’t even sign the dang letter!!!

…Great. This is the only thing I can contribute for my classmates and for the Christmas Party, since I’m leaving for QC in a few days, and I can’t even help decorate the room. It’s not fair!! Before, we could just get in the campus, but now, we can’t. Ever since our principal arrived, I feel as if I’m brought back to SPED center again… experiencing the pressure and the strictness of the principal. But Ma’am Quiñones was a LOT nicer really.

Our principal did as much as cancel our supposedly first Fun and Frolics, which was a school tradition. He cancelled it because practices can disrupt classes, like the Speech Fest did, and he wanted our school, especially the fourth years to do well on their NCEE or something. I don’t know… I’m not that sure anyway, so the rants will stop here.

I am actually getting nervous for the other school affairs. What if he cancels High School day? What if he makes us study and attend summer classes?? Oh no, I’m not going back there again. SPED was hard enough and thankfully I graduated with flying colors… but come on!! I decided to go to ANHS because I wanted to be with my friends, learn enough for  college and have fun at the same time.

Life sometimes gets questionable, but at the end of the day, there’s always something to look forward to. See you guys!

So much for polishing our Jazz Chant…

Not all our classmates showed up at Zia’s house. But at least more than half of the class showed up. I’d rather not talk anyway, maybe my friends and classmates are gonna kill me for saying so.

I cannot wait for December 19!!! That’ll be the time I hopefully will be flying to Manila for Christmas vacation. I need some major traveling, bookstore-hopping, mall-touring, shopping and magazine-hunting right now!!!(hahaha…jowks!!!)  I hope grandpa will keep his promise of taking me to Mall of Asia as soon as I arrive in Manila…hehehe…I think I’m the only one who wasn’t able to go to Mall of Asia yet…

Can’t wait to see my relatives in QC… I miss them so much!!!! I can’t wait to play with my baby cousin Iana and her sister Arielle, fool aorund with my cousin Leslie and Tito Ton, and share *sentimental* moments with my grandparents and titos and titas.

I also can’t wait to go to Papa Ben’s house and spend Christams Eve like we do every year, except last year… Except a lot of the clan’s going abroad. So, it won’t be as noisy as it was before when I was still a kid. It’ll be a lot quieter, since everybody else is getting older, and I can’t relate to anyone my age…

All the same, I can’t wait to go back!!!  It’s stupid, but I really am praying that I will miss our Christmas party!!! Tell me it’s crazy, but I prefer the way I was brought up to celebrate parties. Sorry guys, but I’m not in the slightest mood to attend the Christmas party. But if the party will be before my departure date, then fine. I am left with no other choice…

Well, until next time. Gotta get back to reading Sweet Valley High # 133. Anybody there with # 134, please lend it to me!!! I miss reading Sweet Valley High Series!!!

Our section has been driven to the point of no return all because of  a Jazz Chant. We had to undergo a lot of changes like intonation of words, changes in leaders, choreography…and other stuff.

So FINALLY, today, the Darwinians were kind enough to help us with our Jazz Chant. Before, our hopes of winning were going down the drain, but they gave us a newly found hope were we can be confident with our Jazz Chant!!! The Darwinians are so fun, creative and BIBO!!! How I wish that I could be like them!!!

Anyway, the hell and heaven part is done, I’ll continue on to more heavenly news.

It’s crazy, but I have gotten over him after a couple of days, and I have a new like now…I’m not saying in particular who that person is. Basta.

I feel much happier today, but somehow, something still manages to eat up my insides whenever I see the old one. I’m confused. I just wanna forget about him, but I couldn’t do it that easily.

OKAAAY….anyway, wish us Archis luck in our Jazz Chant, and wish me luck in finding my true feelings…

See ya!

Well, it’s crazy. I just watched Bundesliga Kick-Off on DW TV. Yes, I watch the German TV network’s segments, but I watch the ones in English. So what?? No big deal. Hardly nationalistic, but hey, can you find a Filipino TV network with football news? Hardly, because the Pacman-mania is still hitting the country’s shores, and I don’t blame ‘em guys. He was a BIG hero.

Anyway, since this network’s caters to football fans like me, I’m thankful. The Bundesliga isn’t as popular as the Primera Liga and the Premier League, but it is gaining more popularity with the football fans fast, and German football stars like Michael Ballack of Chelsea and Jens Lehmann of Arsenal are also becoming popular.

Enough about that. I have to get back to my purpose.

So anyway, I was watching the Bundesliga Kick-Off, and I saw a game between Bayern Munich and Stuttgart. There, I saw Bayern’s captain, Oliver Kahn. And thoughts began to swirl in my mind.

For instance, why was Jens Lehmann picked as the German National Team’s starting goalie for the Fifa World Cup this year? Why wasn’t Bayern at the top of the Bundesliga charts? How come Werder Bremen began to take over Bayern?

I can’t see any other reason why. King Kahn is losing his ‘king-liness’. He’s losing his touch!!! He and Lehmann are born at the same year, yet Jurgen Klinsmann picked Lehmann over Kahn. King Kahn let the goals in his net. his supposedly domain. And, Bremen was simply becoming better, and he is really just seems to lose his touch. To be honest, after so many awards, titles and honours, and a decade or more on the pitch, I think King Kahn should finally hang is football shoes off…

Sorry!!! But that’s what I think. I’m open to other opinions. I’m not actually a big fan of Kahn, since I supported Klinsmann’s at first criticized idea of bringing in the younger players like Klose and Podolski in the National Squad. I’m a very big fan of Klose, Schweinsteiger, Podolski, Odonkor… and the list goes on. But hey, I’m also a fan of the other leagues and clubs. I support Real Madrid, Barca, Lyon, Chelsea, Arsenal, Manchester United… and so on. I don’t really consider myself as a super expert in football, but I know enough anyway.

Sometimes I feel like I’m the only football fan in this side of Butuan. I don’t care if I’m different. I love football. I’m sorry if I do, but I think it’s a much more enjoyable sport. I LOVE FOOTBALL (SOCCER) and I’m not afraid to show it!!!!

He tells me he cares, but that’s not what it seems to me!!! He doesn’t even wanna talk to me in person!!! What am I, a spare tire?? An understudy for a big sister??? ARGH!!!!

What does he take me for?? I thought he cared for me. I thought that he was my little brother. I thought I could tell him everything, all the heartaches and pains I’ve been going through…and what for?? He doesn’t care.

I left him a comment on his blog. Bahala na nga siya. If he doesn’t care, what’s the use of me chasing around for him? He doesn’t know that I’m really hurting inside, because of what he’s been doing. Sometimes, I just wanna cry and forget about him…

…but the thing is, I JUST CAN’T. He’s my friend, a special one while you’re at it. He filled in for my lack of a male perspective in school, pero minsan lang yan magaparamdam. And even if he has his life na, why can’t he just talk to me personally, kahit once in a while lang??? That’s all I’m asking for, ’cause I miss him a lot. And my friends don’t even know this.

He’s one of the persons who really knows the real me. I have a lot of personas, but he’s the one who seems to know me better than anyone else.

Hahay…I wanna cry na. But I couldn’t. One more thing that’s hurting me, is that he’s allowing other people call him the name I fondly called him before. That’s my copyrighted name, don’t take it away!!!! But I’m not talking about anyone in class ha. It someone else pa….

Hay, basta. Bahala na kung anong mangyari. Sayang nga lang, kasi I was happy last night, pero parang nawala na parang bula yung kasayahan ko…

Top 5 things you might wanna put in mind before you fall in love

Wanna have a good life when it comes to your crush?? Follow these simple steps!!

1. Keep your distance from the victim’s (your crush) classmates, friends, and batchmates

I’m telling it as it is, because…DUH!!! If his/her peeps know that you like him/her, they might tell him/her!! And the chances that you will be more noticed by your crush are high…but then, this is often risky…

2. Don’t blurt out his/her name in public, especially when you know his/her peeps are nearby

I found out the whole name of my crush, and I blurted it out in front of my friends, unaware that my crush’s peeps were there!!! My bestfriend signaled it out on me…and I was so abashed, that I went off the scene and thought about what I had just done…

3. Don’t ever tell his/her peeps that you like him/her

Some of my crush’s peeps are my good friends, so when they asked me who my crush was, well, guess the reaction. The first was kinda okay, since she promised to keep it quiet. The next?? Well, one of my friends clued her in, and she was like, "WHAT??" surprised AND she found it funny!!! Well, that was okay for me naman…And she even told me that she heard that there was a first year daw who was crushin’ on my crush…well, now she know who it is…

4. Get ready for the teases

Everytime there’s an object that reminds my friends of him, they would constantly repeat it in my face, in a teasing way. Sometimes they get nbearable, yes, but then, I just try to smile, and pretend as if I wasn’t hit…like that would ever happen…I’m such a sensitive girl when it comes to teases!!

5. If all else fails, don’t EVER develop a crush on someone, especially someone who’s year older than you!!

Sounds crazy?? I know. But do you really want half of your school’s population to find out you have a crush on him/her???

But then again, you might seem like you’re from somewhere else if you don’t have a crush…

If you don’t wanna be like me, please!!! Do as I say, and you’ll have a better life than mine!!! (But then again, I’m enjoying my life….)
