Hey there everyone! How are you all doing? Me, I'm doing fine! I'm so sorry that I haven't updated my blog for more than 2 weeks now, because I was very busy with school work, then I didn't have enough inspiration, I didn't have great topics to tell you about, I kept on procrastinating, and many other usual reasons we could think of. So, yeah, here I am! Trying my best to update this blog! You know how much I love my blog, right? haha :D
So, I'd start with last week.
Well, last week had been hard on me. I was so unlucky that I didn't win two contests/quiz bees I joined at that time. Then, someone borrowed my pencil and lost it. And also a week before that, someone also borrowed my FAVORITE ballpen, then she lost it. Well, I wasn't overall depressed from losing that favorite pen because I knew there'd still be more where it came from, but yeah, it still hurts. Now I'd have to stick with those other pens that don't usually cooperate with my hand when I write. How depressing, still.
So, back to last week being hard on me, yeah, I joined contests/quiz bees like the Spelling Bee Contest and English Quiz Bee.
In the Spelling Bee Contest, I was SO CLOSE to winning, or I should've won though. I don't even know why the 3rd Placer was chosen for that place, even though we have the same scores! There should have been a clincher to break the tie, but I guess they're just being blind to seeing the difference between our scores, or simply they're just making favoritism, or, then again, negative thoughts are just reigning my mind then maybe it's just a rule that the one who got the highest/higher score in the difficult round would be one of the winners. I got scores 7, 5, and 2 (Easy, Average, and Difficult), while the 3rd Placer has 7, 3, and 4. See?! When the scores are summed up, we'd have the same total! Why?! Why must I be this UNLUCKY? Unlucky not to have been chosen as the winner?
Another contest/quiz bee I'm in is the English Quiz Bee. We got the lowest score among all other groups, maybe because all of us weren't familiar with the questions in the quiz bee, or then again, we're just simply unlucky.
See? Now I know how much we need GOOD LUCK in contests. Not only in contests, but also in everyday life. If I was lucky, in terms of everyday life, the people who borrowed my pen and pencil wouldn't have been so careless to lose them. Or, I should've been more choosy to people I'd lend my things to. But, I guess that's life. Besides, I have always been lucky in my life, me being unlucky at some times happens so rarely. So, that means I should still be thankful! :)
Hmm .. I also got a feeling that me and my [once] close friends are losing closeness na. It's like we mind each other less and less, I mean, we don't chat more often on Facebook anymore, we seldom say "Hi" to each other in school or wherever we meet, or it's like I feel they don't enjoy my company anymore (because I'm boring and all ..) then they have someone else more meant-to-be for them than me. It kinda hurts for me though, we were once very close, then a time passed when BOOM! All the closeness has lost, or at least was lessen, in just a short [?] span of time. I don't even know why this happened though. But I think it's because there are some other better friends she had found who are better than me. They could laugh and relate to her jokes more than me, then they are prettier [?] than me, or they are more fun to be with, they're not so boring, unlike me who's just so silent and just a girl who people would want to talk to just so someone could "listen" to their problems and whatnot. I'm not fond of telling stories and such to them, and I guess that's why they prefer other friends than me. Or, then again, I have this "best friend", and they thought the wrong thing that I like her better than them. So, yeah, it's just so, so, complicated. Any advices or comments you could give?
Wondering about the title? :) We have this 3-day sembreak-extension! This week has been great so far because of it! Finally, I'm feeling better about not having sembreak because we almost had enough of it now, even though I still think that it's still not enough for me. We have 10-days of sembreak now! So, I guess that would be alright! The 3-day holiday started yesterday [Monday] by the way, then it ends tomorrow, and then we'll come back to school on the next day after that.
You know what I did this 3-day holiday break? If you guessed surfing the Internet all day, then you're right! haha! But today, I did something different, uhm, going to the mall with some friends, perhaps? Yes, I enjoyed every moment of it! We went to a lot of restaurants like McDonald's, Missy BonBon, and Ice Castle! Then it was my first time in Digital Hub to experience using touchscreen iPods and iPhones. And I can't believe they provide live demos like that there! It was a lot of fun! I felt like those iPods and iPhones were mine for just a short time .. haha!
Here are some pictures, I grabbed it from a friend of mine who's also with me at Ketkai. :D

Missy BonBon! :D

Me eating at Missy BonBon! haha! I ate Ham and Cheese! ^^,

Ice Castle! :)
But before going to the mall, we were supposed to be working on our diorama for our English subject, but we weren't able to finish it though, because we didn't have enough materials. It's great that my parents allow me to go with my classmates to the mall! If it weren't for them, I wouldn't be able to have this much fun! :D Thank you so much parents, and to the friends whom I had fun times with! :) I am so grateful to have them in my life!
I was also planning to do my flag for the Semaphore code in Scouting now, but again, it was a FAIL. haha! Now I'm promising myself that I'll do it tomorrow! I'd minimize my computer time once again like now! :D I hope I could finish it tomorrow though.
You know, the distribution of Report Cards for the 2nd Grading is fast approaching. But before that, we'll have our 3rd Preliminary Exams next week, 3 days before the distribution of cards. Then in the afternoon of the last day of exams [the afternoon of next week's Friday], we'll have various contests like Oration, Declamation, One-Act Play, News Writing, Feature Writing, and Editorial Writing! I'm the contestant for Feature Writing, and I'm actually the one who chose to be the contestant for that contest, because I already had an experience in that, even though I kinda forgot exactly how I'd write a feature story, but I guess that would be okay, I could always read various feature stories and facts and tips about writing feature stories for me to get an idea on that. I don't know why, but I got this feeling that I should've chosen Editorial Writing since I think I'm very opinionated. But then again, I decided I should go on with Feature Writing because I also think that I got a lot of facts in mind, and I guess you can also see that I'm fond of telling you stories like this.
Uhm, well, if you want, you could give me some tips in feature writing! haha! :)
By the way, care to follow me on Twitter and ask me questions or message me in Formspring? I would love it if you do those for me! haha! But it's also okay if you wouldn't follow or ask/message me in those sites. xD
Have you noticed that sometimes, whenever someone persuades you to do something, like when they tell you secrets, they'd beg you not to tell others about it, you are always tempted to tell others? But if that someone does not beg you to not tell others about the secret, and would even say that it would be okay if you'd tell the secret to everyone, you would think that it wouldn't be a big deal if you'd tell others, then end up not being tempted to share the secret to the world? I notice that too. How come at some times that's how our mind thinks? xD
Well, that would be all for now! Thanks for reading and viewing! :)
