Daydreaming...

Today, please allow me to daydream and think about my crush, thank you..thank you. *haha*blush*. I just realized that in two weeks' time, it's valentine's day because on Friday, it's already the first day of February. I'm gonna spend my first valentines in school, and I can picture that day in my mind right now. Anyway, there would be nothing new for me. Haha. As always, I spend the day with myself, friends, or family. Maybe, this time, I'm gonna spend this day with myself and friends. Remember, my family is in Laguna, while I'm in Manila. Oh well, that's life. On the other hand, if you have noticed, I changed my music in this blog. I like this song very much. I always play this song in my computer at home or in my laptop, which I usually bring with me in Manila. Whenever I play this song, I think about my crush...hahaha...and my imagination goes...

I'm singing this song with my band infront of an audience. While singing, I can see my crush sitting in the front seat looking at me. It doesn't mean that he likes me too. He's just there to support me and my band. Because I'm afraid to tell him what I feel, I'll say it through this song. Definitely, he won't get the idea that I like him...but singing this song makes me feel better...because through singing, I can express what I feel... especially, my feelings towards him...

If we were a movie...you'd be the right guy...and i'd be the bestfriend you'd fall in love with in the end..

Oh well, they say that it's free to daydream. I'm just happy. He makes my day happy...*blush* =)

Bye!!! Good day!!! And...always think about happy thoughts to be happy!!! =)

My Experience with the Theresians

Yesterday, I had a great time. I went to Auntie Lucy's Alma Mater, St. Theresa's College in Quezon City, because she invited me to be her guest. Although I came from St. Scho, I accepted auntie's invitation. I never regretted my decision because I enjoyed the whole night with the Theresians. I even met some of auntie's former colleagues and former students.The party was very lively, happy, colorful, and extravagant. They really spent a lot of money to make that Alumni Homecoming a truly memorable event. What I liked about the celebration were good food, nice program, and the booths. Oh, I loved the booths! They invited Starbucks (I bought my first mocca frap for this year..haha), Krispy Kreme (I also bought a dozen donuts...I'm really dreaming about their glazed donuts..haha), Shakeys (I wanted to buy pizza, but since I bought mocca frap and donuts, I controlled myself..haha), Fruitas, Dulcinea, and a lot more.

This is my first time to experience an alumni homecoming. It is super duper fun! Well, I'm looking forward to celebrating an alumni homecoming with my fellow Scholasticans in the future. I hope that everybody will be there to celebrate and enjoy that wonderful day, reminiscing the unforgettable experiences we have had together in St. Scho. Ora et Labora. That in all things, God may be glorified!

Hit Me Britney One More Time

I first met Britney Spears when I was eight years old while watching TV. It was very accidental because I was changing channels, then I suddenly saw her video and got hooked on the song, Baby One More Time. I used to sing and dance her songs, which became big hits worldwide. Everybody loved her and her songs. There were young girls too who dressed and acted like she did. I began to like her because she was so talented and pretty. I loved the way she dances while singing because it was so graceful. No wonder why she was called "The Pop Princess". I even brought her albums from Baby One More Time to In the Zone. I became her number one fan.

It is not a surprise for famous people who get involved into a controversy. News about marriage, divorce, annulment, teenage pregnancy, drug addiction, death, and their private lives are so endless and common. Since Britney belongs to the Pop Royal Family in the world of entertainment, she has no escape from it. And because of these controversies, Britney's life became horrible.

I thought that her relationship with Justin Timberlake would stay forever. I was indeed happy for them. They really looked good together and by looking at their eyes, they seemed that they loved each other. After being together for so many years, they broke up. Poor Justin. Poor Britney. She seemed desperate about her life after Justin. She french-kissed Madonna during the MTV awards. That was very yucky, disappointing, and alarming. She married her old friend but filed a divorce within the 24 hours of their marriage. Her videos showed how affected she was because they were so...not so good. She was not the Britney that I used to know and like. That was why, I didn't buy her album after she released In the Zone. I began to dislike her specially when she got married to Kevin Federline, the father of their two children. She even took drugs. Her actions were very disturbing and she was very high. She wasted her life and her career. Because of what she did, she slowly became mentally crazy. She even hid her son from her husband just because she didn't want him to be near the child. Poor Britney.

Like her fellow pop star, Lindsay Lohan, she is always in and out of the rehab center. She is put there to change her life. Because of her very traumatic experiences [in her life], she is always the bulls eye of the paparazzi. They are interested in her and wherever she goes, there are always cameras around, taking pictures of her. Respecting one's own privacy isn't in the vocabulary of those paparazzis.

I agree with my friend when she said something about Britney. Well, she may be mentally crazy but her confidence while performing doesn't show that she is really mentally crazy. In fact, she seems "normal". I'm not saying that I'm beginning to be a fan of hers again, but I think she is amazing and pretty in her latest video, Piece of Me. The way she dances in that video...it's just incredible. That video is better than Gimme More. Haha. Maybe, Piece of Me is better because it is about the experiences that she is going through. Despite her situation right now, she still manages to perform well and do her best. Well, I hope that she'd change her life now. Come on, this girl has a talent. It's a pity if she doesn't change her life, right? Honestly, I miss the old Britney. I hope she comes back. =)

It is Time

Dribble Dribble Shoot that Ball!

Last Monday, I surprised not only myself but my friends as well. In school, there is a program called L.E.A.P which is an alternative class for February 12. When Mau told me about the program, I was super excited because I felt that this is my chance to be discovered by the badminton varsity. Well, I'm not really a good badminton player but I would love to join the team. So, I went to the EDTECH room to enroll. Unfortunately, when I clicked the button for the badminton workshop, I had no slot. It was already very full and it was still morning. Our group was divided this time. Mau, Tricia, and the others enrolled in the hip-hop dance; Lo signed in the modeling program; I'm not really sure if Kat enrolled in the crafts, although I asked her. I just forgot. Haha. Meanwhile, Icca, Ocha, and Cheska enrolled in the basketball program. What about me? Okay, I'll tell you. A lot of people were surprised when I told them that I joined the basketball program as well. Yes, that is true. I enrolled in the basketball program. They were really nodding their heads in disbelief as if I was lying. Haha. They even thought that I was only joking. But I said firmly, "Yes, I enrolled in the basketball program". Honestly, I don't know anything about basketball. But I think that this is the right time to learn a new sport. Who knows, in the future, I would be the next Ty Tang. Haha. Of course, I'm just kidding. =) Anyway, I'm looking forward to learning basketball. I think, I would love it too as much as I love playing volleyball and badminton.

The Wanderer

Every Monday and Wednesday, I don't usually go home at the dorm right after dismissal. I always stay there until six thirty or quarter to seven. Mondays are scheduled for meeting with my bestfriend and we just wander around the campus...talking and sharing stuff, while Wednesdays are "devoted" to my never ending quest for Enchong Dee. Haha. In case you don't know Enchong, he is the guy in the latest Close- Up commercial who rides a motorcycle blowing, I think, fire. Haha. He actually looks gorgeous in person and he is really very stunning. Waaa. Sadly, I don't see him, while my friends always see him. They would always text me whenever they see Enchong Dee! Or, they will share their encounters with him around the campus. It's really sad. Some of them took pictures of him and saved them in their cellphones, then they'll show me. By the way, the recent picture of him was taken yesterday while buying siomai in Brother Connon Canteen. He's wearing green cap, green shirt, maong shorts, and red rubbershoes. Well, I think, he still has a Christmas hang-over. Haha. Anyway, I hope to see him before the school year ends. This last term for this school year is the best time to see Enchong Dee! Haha. =)

It's Nice to See You Again

While waiting for my time to go to Andrew lobby to look for Enchong, I accidentally saw an old friend in school. Actually, he's not studying in our school, but in the school nearby ours. He was just there to play basketball with his friends. Anyway, I was not expecting to see him. I was really surprised when I saw him twice this month in school. I didn't greet him when I first saw him and I felt guilty. Haha. Anyway, during our second meeting, I greeted him na. Hmmm. Message for you: I'm happy to see you there! At last, nagkita na rin tayo bago matapos ang school year. Hope to see you around! =) *you know who you are...haha.*

The Dream of a Sporty Girl Wannabe

The first week of the the third and final semester for this school year has just started. I've seen some organizations in school sitting relaxingly along their respective places in SJ walk, hanging tarpaulins to recruit new members, if I'm not mistaken. Oh yes. This is it. I'm just waiting to see the members of the badminton varsity, begging students to join their group.

I talked to one of my blockmate-friend about my dream, which is joining the badminton varsity. I told her that it's my dream eversince I learned how to play the sport, and I liked it very much. It was surprising to hear that she also wanted to join the team because she likes to play it as well. I was very glad because I wouldn't be alone, if ever the team accepted me.

Right now, I'm having a very big dilemma.

I don't know if I would still join the team, after seeing the team having their training yesterday. I don't know if I could do what they can do. I don't know if I could hit the shuttle-cock as hard as they do. I don't know if I would survive their team.

But what about my dream? If I join, there would be a lot of benefits such as decreasing the amount of my tuition fee, which makes my aunt and father very happy, as expected. If I'm an athlete, I would get free tickets and a special seat ( like Upper A) in Araneta, during the season of UAAP. I would have the chance to travel inside and outside the Philippines to compete and represent the school. On the other hand, if I'm already a member, there are trainings in the morning (5:30 or earlier) and in the evening after school hours (6:00 onwards). OMG. I can't wake up very early in the morning and I don't want to stay up late in school.

Oh well. I guess, I really have to think about it. What do you think?

Back to Normal

The Christmas vacation is finally over. My life as a college student will be back to normal again starting tomorrow. Tomorrow, I'm going back to the dormitory. School will start tomorrow as well. I'm sure, there are a lot of stories from my friends and school mates about their experiences this vacation. I wonder what to tell them. I actually spent my Christmas and New Year at home and my family and I never went to any places around and outside the country, unlike them. Haha. Well, I don't know how I feel right now. Mixed emotions. I'm happy because I'm going to see my friends and my best friend. We haven't seen each other for a very long time. Yet, I'm sad because I'm going to miss Laguna. Anyway, I think I should be happy because I only have four school days a week. At least, I'll have a long weekend this third and last semester.

My Own Countdown...The Seven Blessings from the Year of the Pig

In two hours' time, the clock will strike to midnight. The big black sky will turn into colorful one, with different shades of red, green, yellow, orange, and blue as people end the year 2007 with a loud bang. Hello Philippines! Hello World! Hello and Welcome Year 2008!

The year 2007 has been a fruitful one for me. I call this year my "lucky year". Why lucky year? Because the year of the pig has been good to me. I always keep in mind what my aunties tell me: Count your blessings. Since the two biggest networks in the country usually have their yearend special, I would also do the same. I would have my own yearend special. But, this one is different, because I will count down the blessings that I've received this year. Here are the seven blessings:

7.) New Clothes

Okay, I sound too materialistic, but hey, I consider having new clothes as a blessing. Haha! This year, I have had the opportunity to buy lots and lots of clothes because I definitely need them. And, I learned to save up my allowance since, like what I said, new clothes are a necessity [for me].

6.) New Gadgets

Another materialistic one. Last March, I received a new cellphone from my parents as their graduation gift for me. Buying me a new phone is one of the happiest moment of my life (wow, haha). Also, I received a laptop from my aunties and parents for my birthday. I really need a laptop, especially when I stay in the dorm, so I wouldn't go to computer shops anymore.

5.) High School Graduation

Although, graduating from high school was a sad moment for me because this would probably be the last time I would see my beloved fellow Humblebees, this was also a happy moment for me because I received my high school diploma and I got nice awards. I miss you Humblebees!!! =)

6.) Graduation Song Composition

It was really a nice moment when the graduation song composed by our group was chosen to be sung in our graduation. I never expected it because the other groups really had wonderful songs as well. I considered this one as a blessing from God. =)

5.) Reunion with my Grade School Friends

I had fun being with my grade school friends last April 29. I would never ever forget this day. And I hope, next year, there would be a Part 2.

4.) Getting Good Grades in La Salle

I really thought that I would not make it in La Salle. Although, most of the lessons are easy to understand, the requirement are hard to do. I have to sleep late at night or early in the morning just to finish them because I aim for the grade of 4.0. My late night sleeps and eyebags are worth it because the results are always good. =)

3.) Meeting New Peers

I'm really happy because my circle of friends is getting bigger and bigger. It is nice to meet new people and learn from them. But, like what I said in my previous entry, it is better to be careful than to take a risk.

2.) My La Salle Dream

Being accepted in La Salle was unexpected. When I learned that I was accepted, I really jumped for joy. It is really my dream to be in this prestigious university. I realized that God maybe wants me to be really there. Maybe, I'm born to be a La Sallian. Animo! (haha) *Trivia: I cried when I didn't make it in Ateneo though. =)*

1.) My Family is still complete and I have nice people around me

Yes, my family is still complete and I'm very thankful that nobody left us this year, if you get what I mean. I'm really praying hard to God to give my loved ones a very long life because they still need to experience a lot of things...especially that we (our generation) are still young. We love them. We still need a lot of time to spend with them. On the other hand, I'm thankful because there are a lot of people who mean a lot to me, who never forget and are always there when I need them. They became a big part of my life, especially this year. They made my year meaningful and colorful.

See...there are a lot of things to be thankful for. I'm really thankful!!! Thank you very much!!! Haha. To all of you...Happy, happy New Year!!! May you have a blessed and fruitful year ahead. And never forget to count all your blessings!!! Take care people!!! =)
