Summer Plans! :D

Hello everyone! How are you all? I'm fine, as always! Yep! Finally it's summer! I've got a lot of plans for the season! Here are some of them:

EAT - as much as I can, but not too much that would make me fat! Just to nourish me.

SLEEP - well so that I won't grow big eyebags :D and so that I would grow taller! And speaking of growing taller, our doctor prescibed me a growth multivitamin, Cherifer PGM, to help me grow taller, since she thinks that I'm too short for my age. I'm only around 5 feet you know! An average 14 year-old should be around 63-66 inches tall already! I found it here: http://teens.lovetoknow.com/Average_Height_and_Weight_for_Teenager

EXERCISE! - to lose weight, to grow taller, to be healthy, and whatnot! Even though it tires me, I'll do it for my own good! :)

Under exercise would be:

• Swimming lessons
• Bike-riding
• Badminton
• and..I think that's just about it! But I got a feeling I forgot something. Oh, well.

PHOTO EDITING! - using Adobe Photoshop CS4 or CS3, but as I was searching about it and finding out the price since I was planning to buy one, I found out that the price was around P15,000. I got the price at Sulit.ph. But I don't know if it is the real price of the software. I just got it in an unofficial site of Adobe, right? The price in the official Adobe site is in dollars ($699). That would be very expensive here in the Philippines..huhu.. :'((. Oh, well, I just tried online Photoshop and I'm happy with it! I think it just works as well as the Photoshop software.

SHOP till we DROP! - And speaking of buying, I have my own money to do it! My Ninong, Ninang, and my Aunt gave me money as a congratulation gift for being a top first honor and a full scholar! I already got P4,500 with me! I'm so happy that I could use this money to buy my own things! I have already some plans on what to buy and do with the money!

• Adobe Photoshop CS3 or CS4 (Supposedly but when I knew the price, I decided not to go on with it.)
• Hairbrush
• Wallet (Since my old wallet's zipper got detached)
• Flip-Flops (because I want something great to wear for summer!)
• Hair accessories!
  
• Shirts and Blouses!
• Pedal Pushers!
  
• Ballet Flats, Dollshoes, Sandals, or whatever you call it!
• Keychains for my phone! :)
• Food at McDonald's, namely, Fried Chicken, French Fries, Burger, and a lot more!
• and..many more things that I could think of buying with the money!

Would this be enough for the money? We'll just see!

I would really be a big spender if I got money! But at times, I also know how to spend it wisely!

You know, as summer's just getting started, I'm also becoming excited for the school year to open! I'm going to be 3rd Year High School already! One more year to go for college! I still don't have clear plans for college! I better plan about it now!

I should already by studying about 3rd Year lessons, so that I could be well-prepared, just like last school year!

Well, that's it for now! Bye! :)

Oh, summer!

Good evening everyone! How are you all? Me, I'm fine, as always. Finally, we had our most awaited summer!

But, as I am feeling good about this season, I also have this feeling of missing school! This is something funny, when summer hasn't arrived yet, I kept on wishing for it to come, but when it had finally came, I start to wish for school to come again!

I have some plans for this summer season! We're going to Marco Hotel to have some swimming lessons! I'm so excited for this!

Summer really isn't all about fun, freedom, and all. It is the time for helping our parents do some chores at home, and keeping them company. But mostly, we have some leisures, like bike-riding in our backyard, do something worthwhile in front of the computer, read some good books, and many others. I don't know why, but I somehow don't have the mood yet for going outdoors. Maybe because I always think of negative things about it, like being bitten by mosquitoes, have some injuries, and a lot more. I get cranky when my parents let me go outside. What's up with me anyway? Maybe I got used to being inside the house and I enjoy so much being in there with the laptop, with the television set, and whatnot.

Now, I'm beginning to realize that I'm not being a good daughter to my parents anymore. They got so angry and upset with me yesterday. My father kept on asking me, "Why are you doing those to us even though you know it's wrong to do so?" The bad thing about him asking questions is that I could never answer it, and am not so sure what to tell him. Why am I like this to them anyway? They gave us so much care, attention, and support, and what I could give them is this?! What kind of daughter am I anyway? I get cranky when my mother sends me to do some chores like washing the plates, staying in front of the computer for long hours not wanting to be disturbed, having to be reminded of doing my chores, and a lot more! I wish I could be a good daughter to them from now on! I don't want them to feel this way to me again! I felt really, really bad, and I wanted to cry it off now!

Well, enough of that!

You know what? I'm starting to be interested in photo-editing and want to have a Photoshop installed in our computer so I can edit some photos effectively, more effective than that of online photo-editors! I heard it's so flexible in editing pictures, with the brushes, and all! I feel reluctant to my parents asking for this, since I know they would react badly to it, and say that "We don't really need those stuff! We could go online to do it!" Oh, when could I have it installed?! I need it for making layouts, for making some neat graphics, and a lot, lot more!

I heard some of my affies already have some new layouts on their blogs! I'm thinking of changing mine too, but on the other had, I'm also thinking not to change it anymore. I wanted to try making a header image for my blog, with that Photoshop which I don't have right now. *sigh* I guess I have to wait and wish for it! Do you know where I can make header images which is similar to Photoshop?

Hmm..I'm only up to 9:30pm in front of the computer now (actually, our time is 20 minutes advance from the Manila time). Yep! We are given limited time in front of the computer this time! :( Good thing we don't have brownout today!

Thank you by the way to those who congratulated me for a job well done for the school year, of my being the Highest First Honor and Sophomore Student of the Year! I congratulate you back too! I know you also did well on your studies!

Tomorrow, me, along with my fellow SBO Officers, will once again go to school for the Turnover!

My good friend went to Iloilo already. He'll be unavailable until the holy week. And speaking of the Holy Week, today is Palm Sunday. "We commemorate the passion and death of our Lord Jesus Christ, the sacrifice he made to save us from our sins." - From http://juanrepublic.tumblr.com/post/477114056/thank-you-today-is-passion-sunday-we-are-just

Well, that's it for now! Bye! :D

These had been some of my best days of my life! :) (Photo-spammed)

Good evening everyone! Just as promised, I will make today's post a photo-spammed one!

This is my new phone! The Samsung M3150! The reward from my parents for my hard work and a job well done for the school year! :)

--From my previous post:

The best days actually started last Sunday when we went to Limketkai to buy my most awaited cellphone! It's the Samsung M3150! I was very happy because it felt so good to have a reward for your hard work! You know how hard it was to reach the top of the honors' list; joining lots and lots of extracurriculars as I can join, making my written activity long and detailed so that it would receive as much points, submitting requirements as prompt as I can, studying well that you have to sacrifice your time of leisure, and many others! I can't believe I already have this most wished cellphone, a cellphone with camera and mp3 player! Thank you so much God! I love You! I'm so thankful to my parents, since they really agreed to buy me this cellphone! I remember when my parents kept on reminding me that I won't get that cellphone if I won't top our honors' list. So, I really tried my very best, prayed to God well and wholeheartedly, and kept my hopes up!

I really like this phone! I had already downloaded music in it and taken pictures! I was so excited to do these things with the phone! This would be my first time to use such a high-tech and complicated phone! It has a lot of neat features! Plus, it's a music-oriented phone! It's the right phone for music lovers like me!

If you want to know more about my new cellphone, visit here: link

I also texted my Godparents about my achievements and they also said that they would give me a gift! My ninong already gave me money as my gift, and my ninang would let me drop by her clinic to give me something! Isn't this great? It motivated me more to work as hard as I can next school year so that I could still top our class and experience this much glory!

Monday, March 22, 2010, was our 39th Recognition Day! I received my 2 gold medals and 3 certificates! I was so happy to receive these! Me, my sister, brother, and might as well my father, were all awardees! This is so cool! Wow, a family full of awardees! My father received a plaque of appreciation for being our school's PTCA President! My brother was a Loyaltee Awardee, he's been studying at our school since his First Grade, and he's a graduating student that's why he had been given that award, and my sister was 3rd Honors of her class!

Here are our pictures:

That's me smiling at the camera! :D

Marching :D hmm..stolen? hihi.. :)

Me, my brothers, and sister with Papa :) wearing our medals ^^

Me, my brothers, and sister with Mama :) still wearing our medals ^^

My medals and certificates! :D
- Highest First Honors medal and certificate
- Sophomore Student of the Year medal and certificate
- 100% Scholarship Certificate

After the program, well, actually, after we received the awards, we went to Limketkai again to buy food from fastfood restaurants for take-out! We bought a lot of food, and they surely made my stomach full!

Here are our class pictures, which I had just gotten yesterday morning from our teacher advisor! :)

Formal Pic :)

Informal Pic! Hmm..we really look crowded here! :D

If my pictures are too small to see, don't forget to click it to enlarge! :)

Today, I was working on my opening remarks for our Book Lovers' Club Tribute Party, and I'm already done with it! Here it is!

Our Book Lovers’ Club Moderator, (teacher's name here), our Student Assistants, Book Lovers’ Club members, friends, schoolmates, good afternoon! Welcome to our Book Lovers’ Club Tribute Party. We are all gathered here to celebrate this event, to give tribute to our fellow members of course, and many more things that we are here for. Continue reading books, more power to our club, God bless us always, and take care! Thank you.

Is it OK? Please give feedbacks! This would already be for tomorrow afternoon! I am also assigned for picture documentation.

I'm so excited to spend the money my ninong gave me as a gift! I'll spend it on ballet flats, shirts/blouse, clothes, and a lot more! Yay! I love it that some of my material wishes would already come true!

I'm also excited to drop by my ninang's clinic so that I could get her gift too! Another Yay! I'm lovin' it! What could it be? hihi..^^

EDIT: I'm also going to update my music playlist now! And maybe I'll also make some more updates other than that! :D

Well, that's it for now! Hope you enjoyed reading my post! Bye! :)

These had been some of my best days of my life! :)

Good evening everyone! It had been long since I have written a blog post! Well, it was only for 3 days! Those three days that I hadn't blog about for a while were some of the best days that I had! I tell you why.

(I'll post pictures tomorrow!)

The best days actually started last Sunday when we went to Limketkai to buy my most awaited cellphone! It's the Samsung M3150! I really would take a picture of it so that I could post one tomorrow! I was very happy because it felt so good to have a reward for your hard work! You know how hard it was to reach the top of the honors' list; joining lots and lots of extracurriculars as I can join, making my written activity long and detailed so that it would receive as much points, submitting requirements as prompt as I can, studying well that you have to sacrifice your time of leisure, and many others!

It motivated me more to work as hard as I can next school year so that I could still top our class and experience this much glory!

Yesterday, March 22, 2010, was our 39th Recognition Day! I received my 2 gold medals and 3 certificates! I was so happy to receive these! I'll post some pictures, again, tomorrow! Me, my sister, brother, and might as well my father, were all awardees! This is so cool! Wow, a family full of awardees! My father received a plaque of appreciation for being our school's PTCA President! My brother was a Loyaltee Awardee, he's been studying at our school since his First Grade, and he's a graduating student that's why he had been given that award, and my sister was 3rd Honors of her class!

After the program, well, actually, after we received the awards, we went to Limketkai again to buy food from fastfood restaurants for take-out! We bought a lot of food, and they surely made my stomach full!

This morning, I got up early to get ready for coming to school for the SBO meeting and for returning the school register my advisor has sent me to work on. When I had already arrived at school, I immediately went to our classroom, and my non-honor classmates who were still taking their exams and compiling their requirements were surprised to see me! They warmly greeted me, like they sort of missed me! I returned the school register to my advisor and got my class pictures as well!

As expected, the SBO meeting didn't actually start at the specified time our Governor said. But, we did have a meeting! Our meeting was about the turnover we would have on March 29. I kind'a like it, going to school even though it's summer, but I won't like it if I'm going their for having classes!

Oh, finally, our summer vacation had started! No more classes!

Well, that's it for now! I'll post a photo-spammed entry tomorrow! I just hope I won't procrastinate again about it!

Bye! :)

God really does answer our prayers! :)

Good evening everyone! How are you all? I'm fine as always! You know why I made that the title of my post? It's because on this day, the things that happened were actually things that I prayed for to God! They really came true!

It started when our Assistant Principal announced the honor students and pupils in the afternoon after the Special Awards Program. She announced that in our year level, I'm the Highest First Honor, and there are actually 3 of us who are 1st Honors! only one is a 2nd honor, and there are 6 3rd Honors. Congrats to all of us! I'm so, so happy! Now I could have a cellphone as a gift! I'm so excited! I had a bit of tears of joy when I had known our results! I'm really, really happy! Thank you God for answering my prayers! This is such a big deal for me!

I should really maintain being highest first honors, so that I could have a big chance of becoming a Valedictiorian in 4th year! I wish I could join a lot of extracurriculars so that I could move my rank higher and higher! I would also want my average to reach 98%, if I can do it! I already reached 97, so why not 98? :) I'll try!

Another, I won in our SBO (Student Body Organization) Elections, with the position of Assistant Secretary! This, again, made me happy! Now, one extracurricular is already sure for the next school year! I'm also ready to accept my responsibility, and to sacrifice for it! I accepted running for this position willingly in the first place! I'm so happy that I had won! I thanked those who voted for me so much! I couldn't get tired of thanking them! Many kept on congratulating me for it, and might as well for the honors!

I like it that my schoolmates really did vote for me, especially the Freshmen, I think. I wish I could still win for the next, next school year, when I'm already going to be a SENIOR!

I prayed to God that these would happen and come! This made me trust in HIM more! If it is meant to happen, it would really happen, right? :)

By the way, I thank you Guest (from the shoutbox) for helping me realize how my bad attitude had gone that far, my being emotional, proud, show-off, and a lot others. I'm so sorry to those people that I had affected! So, thank you so much! I don't know why I got that emotional when you had just corrected me on the decrease on average thing. I'll not misunderstand ourselves from now on, friend. :) Hope we could really be friends, right?

Hurray! It's almost SUMMER! I'll be, somewhat, free! I have some plans for it already! It's actually just to stay at home, occassionally go shopping, and many others. I could also help my parents do some chores. Finally, a time full of relaxation! I would keep on riding bikes, use the Internet, enjoy, and a lot more!

Well, that's it for now! Bye! :) Trust in God! :D

Hope you could read this, Guest! ^^

I wonder why my posts are short now. Oh, well!

OK! Bye! :D Maybe I could edit this post sometime with pictures!

Oh Thursday.. (O.o)

Hello everyone! How are you all? For me, I'm just fine. I'm going to blab about what happened today!

Okay, this morning, I did my usual routine of getting ready for school. But we didn't wait for the jeepney this time. We were instead brought by our father to school. Oh, joy. I didn't arrive late.

The moment I arrived in school, I had just realized that I had forgotten to bring my computer book, and I was thinking that my teacher won't let me in because of it. But to my surprise, he had let me in! I'm so glad I got in the computer lab! I did some activities just to make myself busy! I also assisted my seatmate in doing the activities.

After Computer class, we had snack time, and then when we were supposed to have classes, we didn't have because the teacher of the subject was on leave and didn't leave any activity for them. Still, after that class period, there were no classes, just compilation of activities, and some procrastination by some. Teachers were really busy with computing grades, that's why they couldn't handle classes for now.

In the afternoon, we had our SBO (Student Body Organization) Campaign. I really had thought that the campaign would still be tomorrow, but it turned out that it was moved to that time! I was really nervous in introducing myself to my schoolmates, but my nervousness vanished some time later. I really hope that I would win the elections, so that one extracurricular is already sure for next school year! I'm running for Assistant Secretary. Aside from that, I am also willing to sacrifice my time for the job, and I would really do my best! I had unreluctantly accepted to run for this position, because I love doing the job and I love to make myself busy! I could still balance my academics with it! :) Tomorrow would be our elections, and I was already encouraging my friends and schoolmates in Facebook to vote wisely, vote for me and my party! Our party is the GOAL party, Go On And Lead!

Oh, short post for now!

Wish me luck for the SBO Elections, and might as well the honor ranking! And speaking of the honor ranking, I hope the results are already in tomorrow! Saturday is already the first and final practice of the Recognition Day, and I'm freakin' excited for it! I hope I could still be the top first honor! I know I keep saying this on my blog posts, is it already annoying?

It showered again this afternoon in our place! That's so beneficial to us, since our brownouts would already lessen! Our brownout this day lasted for only 3 hours, when originally, the brownout would last for 6 hours.

Well, that's it for now! Bye! :D

As we go on...

"...we remember, all the times we had together. And as our lives change, from whatever, we will still be friends forever."

Oh, I love this song, Friends Forever by Vitamin C! It's the graduation song of my Grade 6 and 4th Year schoolmates! This song really makes me teary eyed, maybe because many of my classmates would also transfer to other schools and few of us would be left in our school. I may be a bit happy that I could never see some of my hard-headed classmates anymore, but at times I also feel like I would really miss them! Most of my classmates, as what I had known, never wanted to say goodbye to each other! Even though our section is named as the "worst class section in the school campus", I'm still a bit happy to be in this class section because we used to have lots of laughs and fun! We had a lot of misunderstandings, scandals as we call it, foolishness, and a lot more bad things that I can name that we had in our section, those are what I don't like about us, and also the reason why I wanted ourselves to part.

Well, this Wednesday, when I woke up in the morning, it was already 5:45 am, and I went rushing to the kitchen to cook rice, and go to the CR to take a bath and all. Good thing we got ready fast and found a jeepney in just a short time, not that long enough that I would be compelled to text message my mother that there are no more vacant jeepneys around and my father would bring us instead to school!

I arrived in school just 3 minutes before 7:30 am. I was thinking back then that it's so tiring to go to school with nothing to do but be idle in our seats and talk about random stuff sometimes, but now, our Chemistry teacher gave us honors a lot of work to do like checking activities of my classmates, and I'm loving it because it's good that we weren't idle for the whole time! It was a headache having to check papers with lots of answer errors on it, but at least I kept myself busy while in school!

During the practice of the Special Awards Day, I'm becoming annoyed with my so-called bestfriend because she kept on pushing me to go with her to the practice thinking that I am included in the awards, even though it's 75/25 sure that I am NOT included in it! The 75 part is the "not included" thought and the 25 is the "included" thought, since I am a Chess Player. This special award event is for the giving of awards to students with co-curricular activities. It's OK anyway that I am not included here, because the academic award is more important than that of co-curricular, in my own opinion. But I really do wish also to be one of those awardees.

Because of joining my friend in the practice, I wasn't able to join in cleaning the classroom, which we would be given points by our teacher if we cleaned! It's a good thing that I still had a chance to clean a bit and be listed by my other friend who was in charge with the attendance! I'm glad she's one of my friends! She keeps me laughing with her jokes and all! I enjoy her company, more than my so-called bestfriend, honestly.

I, most of the time, feel very bad with what my so-called bestfriend do all the time, like correcting me even though I already know the right thing to do, pushing me to do something I don't like, embarrass herself in front of the whole crowd of classmates (even though I somewhat enjoy it..haha), being too close to me, being too dependent, treating me like a buddy guard like mostly all the time, being so annoying, so weird, and might as well everything that I don't like about people! Now, she's so crazy about her love life! I'm not going to share things any further because of confidential purposes. But even though she's like this, I still accept her as my friend, since she still accepts me as her friend even though I'm really silent and rarely talk in front of her, or just nod whenever she says something, or I'm not really that enjoyable. She really accepts me for who I am, and I'm also trying to accept her for who she is. Oh, how could I tell her my real feelings, or thoughts rather, for her, without being worried that she may become "over" sensitive and emotional and end up crying and shouting, saying foul words. I should really take the courage to do it, so as to keep our friendship smooth and with no misunderstandings in the end. If I do not do that, maybe later, I would be forced to end our friendship once and for all, because of these bad feelings for her with what she does that I hate!

Hmm..the afternoon of this day didn't have any brownouts, as expected. Maybe because it showered a little, but it only lasted for a very short time. It so good to feel the rain again, even for just a short time..haha...

My teacher advisor once congratulated me a while ago! When he did, I wondered, what could my ranking be in the final honors' list? I could not make up my mind that I would really be the top first honor, because when it would not come true, I would be hugely depressed by it. So, for now, I'll just keep on aiming and hoping for it! Of course I believe that I would become the top first honor, with God's power and will! I really hope for this high rank in the honors' list, because most of my wishes, material or not, would be fulfilled!

Hmm..short post eh? This day was just a bit short for me to talk about! :D

Before I'll go, I'll share to you this: http://www.incrediblebirths.com/Worlds-Youngest-Mother.html - It's so unbelievable that a 5 year-old could give birth already! She is Lina Medina, the world's youngest mother ever confirmed by history. It's so facinating to ever know about that!

By the way, thanks to "Guest" for correcting me on the decrease thing on my general average. I had put decrease by 11 points where in fact it just decreased by 0.11. May I know your name?

Well, that's it for now! Bye! Take care and God bless! :)

One More Week till the end of the school year! :D

Hello everyone! How are you all? I'm fine today! Finally! It's one more week till the end of the school year, just like what the title of this blog post says!

I'm a bit disappointed because I really thought that I, along with my fellow honor classmates and schoolmates, don't have to come to school anymore for regular classes! It's so tiring having to come to school with nothing to do but observe my "non-honor" classmates doing their activities! All we usually do is just to be in the classroom and do nothing or go around the campus doing random stuff, like talking about things.

Last Monday, I started my day waking up early, cook rice, taking a bath, preparing for school, and many more usual things that I usually do during weekday mornings! We waited for the jeepney at around 7:05 am and it took so long, for me I guess, to wait for a jeepney to ride! This is one of the things that I get frustrated of, since most of the jeepneys that pass by us have already full passengers, and at some times, only very few jeepneys pass by! Good thing we arrived in school just in time for the flag ceremony! I was almost late! I was so happy that I wasn't late since our teacher advisor would give us 200 points for the attendance!

After the flag ceremony, I, along with my fellow honor classmates and schoolmates, proceeded to the Physics lab for our final exam. You know how our final exam was? It was just fine, some were pretty easy, and some were just, well, OK. Values Education and Technical Writing (minor subjects..haha) were the ones that were pretty easy, and Geometry and Chemistry, the major subjects, were just OK for me, not that easy and not that hard.

As I had seen, many of my teachers were really busy for computing the grades! All, or if not, most of them I saw were all writing, calculating, checking, and many more things teachers usually do when it comes to computing the grades! Our teacher advisor assigned us to let our extracurriculars be signed by the teachers in-charge. It's good that I had finished letting them sign before lunch time, because they could compute my grades early.

In the afternoon, my Technical Writing teacher showed me the results of my activities in my portfolio. It turned out that most of them had marks of 100%! I'm so happy that he was so considerate and gave that big mark on my activities! In English, I had just observed my non-honor classmates doing their SRA (Science Research Associates) activities. That time also, our teacher advisor announced to us our general average for the academics. I was so happy for my result! My average is 97.33%. Well, it decreased, but at least it still reached to 97! For the 4th grading, I was so worried with my grades since my scores in NAT reviewers were so low, and I thought that my grades would decrease bigtime! But it turned out that they didn't really decrease "bigtime"! My previous average from the 3rd grading was 97.44%, so only 0.11 had been decreased. I hope my extracurriculars could move my rank higher, to the highest level if possible! I'm still aiming high to be the top first honor! I kept on wondering what my fellow honor classmates' and schoolmates' average were, especially the one next in rank of mine! Please God, help me! :)

This day, Tuesday, was just OK. Our Computer teacher wasn't so considerate enough for me! He still required me to do some activities, but I only found out when we were almost dismissed! It was so unfair that other honor students weren't required anymore to do activities, and they just assisted their classmates. If it was a joke, I would really not laugh. This teacher of mine is known for his cornyness of jokes. How could he let me do activities where in fact other honor students weren't required anymore to do them? Oh how I hate it! Great, even a teacher picks on me.

I had noticed that when my classmates play "Truth or Consequence", when all have consequences, they usually dare each other to kiss my classmates, usually of the opposite sex! Some also were hugs. I really don't like what they dared each other to do! It's so icky to see young people of the opposite gender kissing each other, well, young people like our age. Hugs are a bit better than kisses, because they are more friendly and non-malicious.

In the afternoon of this day, I bored myself in the classroom watching my classmates do their activities. On the second period, me and my honor classmate instead went to the clinic to chat with two of my honor schoolmates. We had fun chatting about various stuff! We talked about relationships, gossips, thoughts, and whatnot. I really do enjoy their company, since we all pretty much think the same, because we're all honor students, right? I should hang out with them more often! :) I should not give too much time to my so-called bestfriend, because I honestly think she's really weird and wacky, and I don't really want to be like her!

Our brownout today didn't really last long, it just lasted for an hour, even though as expected, it was supposed to last till 11pm. It's good that it had been that way! I still had a chance to use the net! :D

Well, that's it for yesterday and today! Bye! :)

This is it! :D

Hello everyone! How are you all? I'm just fine if you ask me! So, as I had promised, I would be blabbing about various stuff today!

Let's start with my 3rd grading grades (late upload):

So, what do you think? I'm so happy to see those grades! As what I have said, my only decrease is the PEHM (Edukasyong Pangkatawan, Kalusugan at Musika). But it's OK, it isn't a major subject! But even though it isn't a major subject, it still has the same unit as the majors. *sigh* hmm..why am I sighing over this? haha...my general average for the 3rd grading is 97.44%, and I belong to the first honors! I hope my grades would be still higher in the finals! I hope that I could top the sophomores once again! I really need to have that new cellphone, the food, the fame, the tears of joy, happiness, proud family, relatives, and a lot more! You get the idea of what will happen if I become top of the honor's list, right? It means so much to me! I've been longing for this since my realization of what school is about!

Let's proceed to my newly relaxed hair! (another late upload)

Hair so straight, isn't it? haha...how do I look? :D

Another thing: I completely forgot to mention in my March 6 post about our NAT dry run which was held last March 5. Hayy...why didn't it pop out my head while I was writing that post! (O.o) Well, the dry run was OK, the Math dry run test was the one of the hardest tests I had ever taken in my life! I only got 20 out of 60. I got 38/60 for Science, 49/60 for English, and 44/60 for Filipino. Araling Panlipunan hasn't been checked yet. I hope I could get a high score for it!

Last Sunday, while surfing through the net finding lyrics of a song, I had just clicked a certain site and then viruses came to infect the computer! I was so nervous about it and asked help from my father. I was scolded of course, and told me to be more careful and let me study instead. I hadn't used the computer for the rest of the day because of the virus. The problem was fixed on the next day and I'm glad the viruses are gone from my laptop!

Last Monday, we were early in coming to school! We had our flag ceremony, and one of the students who led was my guy friend. But I didn't give it a big deal! After that, we went to the classroom, heard some announcements our teacher-advisor told us, about the NAT, signing of clearances, exams, and the like. Then, when he left us, me, together with my friend, went upstairs, me needing my teacher to get my clearance signed, and my friend asking for an activity. Recess came and I kind'a wanted to sacrifice myself not taking my snack anymore so that I could finish my signing of clearance. I kept on finding my teachers just to get my clearance signed. Things that made me frustrated is that two of my teachers (my Chemistry and Math teacher) kept on postponing their time for the signing of clearance, and another teacher (my Filipino teacher) was absent! Good thing my Math teacher signed my clearance, but I'm again frustrated because the Chemistry teacher had just told us clearly what the requirement is in the afternoon, and it was the nth time I kept coming back to her just to let the clearance signed! That time, I needed to finish my activities and fill up the table of contents, but oh! I forgot to bring the portfolio with me at home! I did my requirements on the following day. It was such a delay!

Last Tuesday, it was the deadline for the signing of clearance, oh, MY deadline that is! I tried to finish my Chemistry activities fast, and in snack time, I did not take my snacks, for the same reason, just to let my teachers sign my clearance! You know how much sacrifice I had given? WTH?! This Filipino teacher again had just told us clearly how to do the table of contents! It was just like that of the Chemistry teacher! Why?! Why do they have to be like this? They want themselves to feel like "important" people, like those politicians or leaders! They like it that students would be around them trying to get their "autographs"? Oh, some people are really like that, eh? They have a lot of those chuva, eclavu, and whatsoever! And you know, they are also being hard on themselves, other than being hard on their students! Why can't they just give a simple requirement and sign the clearance right away and with no problem! They give so much requirements, and they may lose track of what requirements they had given!

But I'm feeling better about it now! I had done my signing of clearances already in the afternoon of that day!

We chitchatted with our Biology teacher slash school nurse! I, with my fellow honor classmates, enjoyed chatting with our teacher! We tried the sphygmomanometer to check our blood pressure! It turned out that my blood pressure is normal (110/70)! I'm so happy to try it with my classmates! I enjoyed their company!

Now comes the first day of the final exams, last Wednesday! It was held at our Physics Lab. I really studied hard for the tests, and you know what the result is? I found the exams easy! Math was a bit easy, it's a matter of stock knowledge, but I got the ratio question wrong! It was something about 2000 divided equally by the ratio of 1:4:15. I answered 400 even though the correct answer was 1500! I actually checked my book after the exam, that's why I had found out. I got it wrong because I forgot about the topic and I instead gave any answer, or chose any answer that came to my mind! I bet that's not the only mistake I got..haha..! Computer was easy as well, it's not like a hundred-item test the teacher of that subject usually gives! Filipino was also easy, I memorized the answers, since we were given that test ahead and gave it again for the exam! But the teacher actually added the missing items, and I was a bit confused with what mapaniil means. I'm chosing between madamot and mapanupil. I chose mapanupil for the answer. I had just found out on the net about it and it turned out that my answer was correct! Here it is:

malupit
adj: minarkahan ng kalubhaan hindi makatarungan o arbitrary asal; "ang
mapaniil na pamahalaan ";" mapaniil na batas ";" isang
mapaniil magulang ";" malupit ipagwalang-bahala ng mga tao

I also updated my other blog on this day. http://vanesanice.blogspot.com

On the next day, Thursday, was our actual National Achievement Test! (The honors' exam was actually postponed a bit. Supposedly, this was the second day of the exams, but the second day of exams was moved to the next day, and the third day on Monday.) We were unusually quiet at that time! The test was OK, I did not feel any difficulty in answering the test, maybe because I was a bit nonchalant about the test, or I had already gone to this kind of test for how many times and knew that it was going to be this hard! It was disappointed a bit because our test papers actually wasn't in order when it was given to us, and we were ended up copying our answers in a scratch paper and erasing answers on the answer sheet and gave the answer sheets to their respective owners! It was the proctor's fault that she did not tell us to pass the answer sheets IN ORDER! Now, the scanner, which is the checker of the test papers, would reject them! It would be so sayang! But what can we do? It's already done! Let's just hope for a good result!

This day, it was the second day of the honors' exams! It was held at our Multipurpose hall, which was a hot room because of the brownout! All the honor pupils and students were merged into that room! The tests were easy, they were a matter of memorization! But Social Studies had some confusions. I got confused with the number of regions Asia has. My teacher said that it has 7 regions, where in fact, in the book, it has 5 regions. What, or who, could be right?! Oh well, I hope I could get a big score! I remembered a lot of my past lessons!

I'm a bit envious with my brother and sister because this day is already their last day of exams, and mine is still on Monday, and I still have to study for it on the weekends. It's all because of the NAT! But it's OK, that's life! We don't always get what we want! For the past few weeks, I was so excited for this day to come since I thought it would be our last time to study and do some activities, but it turned out that we still had one more day to go before FREEDOM!

Too bad I could taste freedom later than my brother and sister! *sigh*

Oh, by the way, I kept on failing to update my Plurk account! Now, my karma kept on going down! I hope I could reach the karma of 83 so that I could freeze it and update it whenever I want to!

Well, that's it for now! My post is very long, don't you think? :D

Bye! :)

Going on a Hiatus...

I'm so busy already! I have to study for the exams! Oh, by the way, tomorrow is our National Achievement Test! Please wish me luck, and our school, that we could reach at least the top 10 in our region!

We still have the usual brownouts. I'm not going to be on the net in the evening.

I really do have a lot to share on Friday! I have been through a lot this week!

I updated my other blog: vanesanice.blogspot.com
Hope you could drop by there! That blog had not been updated for 2 months! I had just updated it now! :)

Well, that's it for now! Bye! :D

A Stressful Week that passed by

Hello everyone! How are you all? I'm just fine today! This week, as what the title had said, was very stressful!

Things that made it stressful are the signing of clearances, NAT reviews, brownouts, thinking of how am I going to maintain my top rank in the honors' list, since I'm worrying that my scores in our NAT reviews could decrease my grades, writing on activity sheets, pressure, and a lot more to mention!

Some teachers even give requirements before they would sign the clearance, and some also postpone their time in signing clearances, like they would sign the clearance on Monday instead! One teacher required us to work on our portfolios, color those activity sheets, make the cover page thing, the summary of Florante at Laura, and the table of contents, and another teacher required us to make the geoboard with a partner! But I have no worries on these requirements anymore! I had finished them already, and all I had to do is just to wait for Monday and let the teachers sign the clearance! Yay! One new problem now in the signing of clearance is for the principal's. She isn't around most of the time. But I think the assistant principal could sign it instead. I really need to finish letting the teachers sign the clearance on Monday, or if not, on Tuesday! It could not be on Wednesday since many people would already line up in front of the cashier's office and pay for the tuition fees, and then I could not get my exam permit in time!

Our FINAL exam by the way is on March 10 - 12, Wednesday to Friday! I'm so excited for these exams, because after that, there would be nothing to worry about anymore! No more studying, no more writing on activity sheets, and most of all, freedom to do anything! All I need to worry about is whether I could still top our sophomore class or not! I really hope I will, so that I could make my family and relatives proud of me, or I could more famous around the school! EVERYTHING I want to happen to me COULD happen to me if I become top of our class! We could spend our vacation happily with no regrets, I could get my most wanted new cellphone, be famous in school (ohwss..?), have more family savings because of the scholarship, and many, many more! We could celebrate it right!

But wait, isn't March 11, one of the exam days, the schedule for the National Achievement Test? Hmm...how is the school going to deal with it?

This week, and might as well next week, we are having this frequent brownouts in our place, in Mindanao. This would be the shedule of our brownouts. Click here!

Have you read in my previous post that I said that I would post pictures anytime on the weekends, which is now? I realized that I still couldn't find time to do that this weekend, because I'm busy and tired with all the work I'm doing and all the stress I have. I'll postpone it next week instead! I think it could be sure that I could post some pictures on that time because I'm not busy anymore!

By the way, who knows the codes on showing and hiding content? I've been working and studying this for days and my expected result still wouldn't show up! I'm getting a little bit frustrated now with this! The Brownout schedule I shared above should have been in a show-hide format so as not to take time loading to another page. But since I don't know how I could do that, I decided to link it instead. Oh well, I should work on this anytime next week (after the exams). This feeling of frustration over this kind of thing isn't new to me. I had also experienced this from figuring out how I would do the navigations above! Good thing I had finally figured it out! I'm so happy and thankful about it! I hope someday I would know how to do that show-hide spoiler thing!

I would like to thank Lilpink for teaching me how to do the PLUGBOARD! Thank you very much! So, those who would want to promote or sort-of advertise on my blog, you can plug-in your links and images there!

I'm once again very excited for tomorrow until Friday, since after that, I would be free from school works! All we, honors and graduating classes, had to do in school is just to practice for the Recognition Day, have the SBO campaign, Special Awards Day, and the like! March 19 and 22 are actually busy days because on the 19th, we have the Special Awards Day and the SBO campaigns, and on the 22nd, in the morning, we have the SBO elections, and in the afternoon, we have the most awaited Recognition day! Hmm..why do they have to have the elections in the morning of the Recognition day? We do have a lot of preparations for this day, right? *sigh* It's going to be very busy! The morning should have been our rest time before the Recognition day. But that's how it is. But, then again, they should have scheduled the campaigns on the Thursday instead, right? And the elections on the Friday?

Have you noticed that most of what I'm talking about here now is about school? It's just that, this topic is all I can think of! And I also spend most of my life in there (at this time)! I love my life in school, and sometimes, I hate it, with all the stress, work, deadlines, projects, and a lot more! The reason why I love school is that there would be a lot of challenges, learning, fun, and the like!

Oh, and by the way, my old playlist, from Playlist.com, is now working again! I really do miss hearing the songs I had put in there! you can listen to the playlist on one of my July 2009 posts, or you could just click here!

I won't be on the net later at 6 to 11pm, because we would be having these brownouts at that time! Oh, these brownouts! At least they would already end this Wednesday! haha...

I would like to share to you this pic before I'll go!

Well, that's it for now! Bye! Be back on the afternoon of March 12..hehe.. :))

A Busy Week...

You know why it's so busy? There are a lot of requirements to compile and projects to make for it! I couldn't find much time anymore on the net, especially in blogging! This is why I hadn't been blogging for how many days now!

Today is already March! And yeah, I'm so, so happy! Summer is just a few days away! I can smell it now!


Well, I'll tell you about my grades for the third grading! Most of them increased and maintained! Only one decreased and it's Physical Education, Health, and Music (PEHM), it decreased for only one point anyway, from 97 to 96! I'll post pictures anytime on the weekend instead, because it's really busy during weekdays, schoolwork and all! I got my report card just this Saturday!

Last Saturday also, I had just relaxed my hair! And I'm lovin' it! Again, I'm going to post pictures on the weekends..haha...I'll take a picture of myself! :D

Last Sunday, we went to Limketkai for the 2 by 2 ID picture which is a requirement for my clearance! We also bought hair accessories and products for my hair..haha...and also dye wax for RHGP clearance. I love it that we could already be on our own at the mall and supermarket! It feels so good to be free!

Last Monday morning, I'm glad I wasn't late in coming to school! I did not miss the 100 points our teacher adviser would give us for the attendance! I was asked to make a summary for my achievements/extracurriculars for the whole school year, and you know what? I kind'a forgot some of them, and I really need to remember all so that many points would be added on my grades! I should have listed them from time to time!

We kept on experiencing brownouts now! That's why I could not use the net at my regular time because of it! We are having the El Niño in our side of the world, and on the other, the La Niña.

I'm so tired this week, from finding teachers and asking them to sign my clearance, making my requirements or projects, studying for the NAT, and a lot more! And speaking of projects, our Math teacher requires us to make a geoboard, and it would look like this:


It's somewhat hard to make! :(

By the way, I am running for Assistant Secretary for our Student Body Organization elections! Please wish me luck that I would win! I really need it! :)

Well, that's it for now! I wrote this blog post in a hurry, that's why it's this short! In reality, I do have a lot to share to you here, but because of my limited time in front of the computer, I couldn't share all the things I would want to share. Plus, we have this brownout that occurs somewhat anytime of the day. :(
