Trumpets & Review

We had our Trumpets pictorial yesterday. The group shots were fun. Paul looked like he was pimpin'. :)) it was a cool one. The solo shots. Ugh. I wonder how it'll come out. :)) in the middle of the pictorial, we had our own pictorial. :)) Millie brought a camera. I just used my phone. :) we had fun. Bea is officially the Egg Roll Guru. :) and she has produced a good one! Cara was her student, who is now a successful Egg Roller. :)) Millie has graduated it already. She was in Bea's batch. :)) :)) :)) Cara and I did handstands. :)) oh and btw, I CAN FINALLY DO A HEADSTAND SUCCESSFULLY! I love it. ♥

We're learning Ice Box now. :) it's pretty hard. But oh well. It looks so nice. :) I'm loving our dance now. I find it so cool. :)

After Trumpets I went to Regalia with my mom. Gene was asleep already. :( I played with the XBOX instead. :D I played Crash Bandicoot where I kept on screaming:)), FIFA Street (I rock at it :D) and Xiaolin Showdown. Jean Luc memorizes all the Wus :)) and he knows the use and function of each. Goodness gracious. :))

Earlier, I had review classes. Math was okay. Science was fun. :) we had a Chinese teacher. He kept on making fun of Chinese names. Like his friend Jeana Go. Jeana's mom didn't want her name spelled as Gina cause it'll sound nasty. Gina Go. GinaGo. :)) thanks ha. :)) and there's more. :) our teacher's name is Neal(amutak) sabi nya eh. :| :))

We played the game we played in the recollection. The Do You Love Me game. It was fun. Whoever was it had to answer the question in the book. I became it once. :))

Being out of the house = fun. I REALLY HATE IT WHEN THERE'S NOTHING TO DO:)) the only thing I do at home is eat, sleep, be on the computer for hours (with nothing to see anyway) or watch DVDs. :|

Mondays bore me. Tuesdays and Thursdays tire my body but I have fun. Wednesdays and Fridays drain my brain but I have fun too. Saturdays and Sunday start to become lazy days. Only the dressing room moments are hott. But.

Summer isn't so boring after all. :)

Pas de Deux

Earlier this afternoon, I went to Starbucks Tomas Morato to meet up with Batchi, Ara and Angelica. We stayed there for 3 hours doing nothing. We just laughed, took blackmail pictures, and nagtitigan. :)) I know Ara is happy. Very happy, indeed. :)) Angelica and her didn`t talk (only said hi`s and bye`s) :| I had to leave early. I thought ballet was at 5. I was wrong. :))

When I got to Shang, they said ballet was at 6. Then 6:30. They finalized it and said it`ll be at 7. WTH. I could`ve stayed longer at Starbucks. :|

We took a lot of pictures using Mica`s digi cam. I`ll upload after she does. I`ll steal. :))

We had Pas de Deux class with Nonoy Froilan. Kuya Jerome (sp?) was my partner :) my pointe shoes are giving up on me again. :( Teacher Nonoy was funny. He noticed that we were all scared to hit the boys when we turn and he said "don`t be scared to hit the boys. Go and hit the boys!" and that meant *where it counts. :))

Anyway. Pas de Deux class was tiring. :|

I MISS JENNIFER DELA CERNA! She`s in the States now. I`m chatting with her! I really miss her already even if it`s been a couple of hours palang. Well, the last time I saw her was... during Irene`s birthday. :( I miss you, Fer!!!!!!!

Earthday Jam

Let me start the day. :)) I went to review class. It was the same as any other review day. After review, Angelica and I hung out at Starbucks. Then I went to school to get my report card. SCARY :| I got lower grades:)) I freaked out with the ~~78 in English.~~ TYPOGRAPHICAL ERROR pala. Whew! I almost died there:)) anyway.

After a few hours..

Earthday Jam @ Tomas Morato :)

I didn`t actually participate much.
I first met up with the twins (Celine & Cristine) @ Kimono Ken. Then met up with Irene. Then met up with Midi (who btw organized the concert :P). Midi got us seats in front :> he is so cool. :P

Irene and I got hungry so we went to Brother`s Burger afterwards. And we spotted a ~~cutie~~. His name`s CJ I think =)) too bad he caught us (or his friends did). Oh well:)) Irene and I talked about a lot of things over dinner (?) :P

We went to Batchi`s place after. =D then back to the event. Irene had to leave early. I walked her to Shakey`s then went to the other side of Tomas all by myself. SCARY EMO PEOPLE (not the emo emo. The uh, poser emo rocker whatever. I know you get my point) :| seriously. They did scare me. :| and they were all in black. Some even had no top on (boys, of course). I couldn`t actually describe them, but there were millions (exaggeration.) of them :| it was really scary. :|

I went to Starbucks after while waiting for my dad, who was performing on stage :) then I asked my mom to pick me up after. Around 12:45-1am. Because I was alone already :)) and my dad had to run to some other place after the Earthday Jam gig. :))

Trumpets

I`m loving our dance in Trumpets. =D but it would have been much better sana if we were only a few. Our class is now called Streetdance Advanced Level Up A, I think. It`s weird. It`s not just Advanced anymore, just like how it used to be. Oh well.

We started doing our blockings earlier. It was pretty tiring. I`m excited to learn the steps to Ice Box and Maneater. :) our dance would be longer now, I predict. I`m excited :))

My hands hurt earlier, during the Glamorous part. :| really painful. :| but super fun. :))

If you ain`t got no money take your broke ass home! :>

Swimming and Reaping

I met up with my friends at Gateway at 11:30 am. I was the only one on time :)) when we all got there, we went to my tita`s condo, Regalia. We first hung out at the cafe, waited for my cousins then off we swam. Batchi didn`t swim because of some reasonable reason.. Irene and I were able to force Ara and Cathy to join us in the pool. :) we played in the pool, took pictures. Ordered food, then ate. After eating, only Cathy and I swam again. And this time we swam na talaga, not just played. :) it was fun. We burned off the fat =))

After swimming, we walked back to Gateway. It was 5 something still. The movie was at 7:25. We went store hopping first :) Ara and I fit clothes, then took pictures. We didn`t buy anything, though. I would`ve, but I don`t have money. :( Ara and Batchi left early. :( they didn`t watch The Reaping with us. So anyway. Cathy, Irene and I sat down first at the Food Express. I had a blizzard while Cathy got some Taco Bell. We went to the movies after. THE REAPING ROCKED! I loved it. It brought some chills to my spine. :P I was near tears when it was part of the insects, locusts and boils. I HAVE THIS BIG FEAR OF INSECTS AND CREEPY THINGS JUST LIKE IT, so yea. :| but I still enjoyed the movie a lot. AnnaSophia Robb is a goddess. A young one. I love her, she looks just so gorgeous in the movie. =) I wanna watch The Reaping again. =)

Me and my bitches would meet up again this week to plan our party, which will be held in my tita`s condo. =D

SO YOU GUYS (of course the ones I know :P) SHOULD COME. IT`LL BE A TRIPLE BIRTHDAY BASH FROM 6 PM TO MIDNIGHT. IT WILL BE FUN, I CAN PREDICT:))

P.S. for the first time, I didn`t take pictures using my camera =)) so I`ll be stealing from my friends` multipies. =))

Beggar on the loose!

I now lack clothes, tyvm.

I`m near tears. I have nothing to wear na. :( I was like a psycho just earlier at ballet. I kept on screaming "give me clothesssssss!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" but thanks. :| and we went to Zara. HEAVEN. But thanks again. :|

After ballet I went back to Zara. And I reserved something I like. And I`m getting it this week :> yay. New outfit. BUT STILL NOT ENOUGH :(

ONE TIME BIG TIME IS WHAT I NEED.

The last time I went shopping for clothes was uh, last January. THANKS TALAGA :| and that time, if you remember, I removed 23 tops and 4 skirts even if I only bought 3 items. My drawers are really empty now and whenever I open it if I have to change clothes, the only thing that goes to my mind is: "I`ve worn this a few days ago" :(

So I`m dropping hints here.

My birthday is a month and nine days away. THERE IS TIME :) so, give me clothes as your gifts, okay? =)) people who know me, YOU KNOW MY STYLE :P =))

I am such a beggar. :| thanks :|

edit. @ 23:58
- I`m having an LSS. Hillsong. :) even if I didn`t go to church today. :|
- Swimming with the bitches tomorrow. Yeaaaaaaay. =D and we might watch a movie after.
- Earthday Jam Concert on Friday @ Tomas Morato. My dad`s playing, so he invited me. I`ll be there with friends. :> see you there, whoever`s coming. :)
- I STILL NEED CLOTHES.

Bye. =|

Friday the 13th

Friday the 13th, not unlucky at all :)

Review started at 8 am, and ended past 12. Angelica and I were really bored during the review. We both failed to pass the math and science proficiency tests:)) the teacher looked and sounded like the Romero twins.. which made me miss them more. :(

After review, Angelica and I went looking for Starbucks. It was a long walk. :| I met a new friend, her name is Tisha :) we hung out at Starbucks for awhile first, then we went to Toni`s house, a friend of Tisha. Angelica was so arte, she didn`t want to ride a jeep. She kept on insisting to ride a cab, we`ve been waiting for one for 20 mins and still didn`t get a ride. Tisha and I stopped a jeep and then we rode:)) poor Angelica. HAHA. We went to Toni`s first, then to Tisha`s place. Stayed there til around 4, then hinatid ako ni Angelica :)

Had ballet after at PBT. Thanks, I was really dizzy. Last meal at 7 am. =| =))

After ballet, I went straight to Promenade to meet up with Angelica, Diana, Jill, Pia and JP. We were at Tender Bobs first. Had fun. Lots of it. JP = funny. =)) then off to Starbucks. Diana and I had to leave earlier than the rest. I think they`re still there:)) some of them are staying til 2 am. =|

I gained three new friends today: Tisha, Toni and JP. =)

TORTURE.

I feel like I have been tortured. Since yesterday :))

Trumpets yesterday. It`s sad `cause it`s different now. Us (the advanced class) got mixed with the other people from the adult class. So parang we`re not advanced anymore :( since there were very few of us in advanced, they decided to split the other class into two and let us absorb them =| WHAT THE HEY.. THE FEWER THE BETTER. =|

Teacher Rene taught us new steps. New HARD steps. He`s fond of waves, and little steps. Ever since.

Then today. Had review classes. It was the first day. Angelica was with me :) first day was torture to the brains. Diagnostic exams suck. =)) we hated it. I`m speaking for me and Angelica. Haha. We have the same phone, and both our phones look so kawawa na. =))

Trumpets tomorrow. MORE TORTURE.
Review on friday. MORE AND MORE TORTURE.
.. but at least I`ll be having funnn. ;)

PUNTA FUEGO!

Punta Fuego with my ballet mates =)
April 9th, 2007

We met up early in the morning, then we went off to Fuego in a coaster! We (the ones at the back: Thea, Karenina, Rozel, Julia, me, and some other people) were the noisiest. More of Thea and I, though. THEA HAS COOL VIDEOS :)) I`ll upload later. We kept on singing out loud until later on, they gave us a microphone. =)) we sang a lot. OLD SONGS! ♥ in Tagaytay, I became a tour guide since I was holding the mic and we were tired from singing. Out of nowhere I said "to the left, you can see the Taal volcano" and thanks, everyone laughed. =)) WE PROVIDED GOOD ENTERTAINMENT, THANK YOU VERY MUCH =)

When we got to Fuego, we took pictures first =) then swam. I finally had the courage to open my eyes under water. =)) sorry =| we played volleyball after, but only for a short while. We swam again, then jetskiied! (spelling?) thanks a bunch to Jessica for letting us ride with her. IT WAS FUN! I loved it. Thea and I wanted to fall down. =)) Rozel, Jana, Natasha and Jessica did. =| Thea and I swam from the jetski to the thingy where all of them were, just cause. =) we played with the sprinklers after, then had lunch. We were hungry. =))

After lunch, we went to the beach. =) just me and my friends. We didn`t swim there, tho. Stayed at the seaside, took pictures. At the shore, too. I love the feeling of the waves crashing =)) it feels so good, with the rocks and sand and everything. Julia and I accidentally dropped Thea`s camera in the sand =| it got destroyed for a while. Julia and I fixed it :)) we went to the infinity pool after. It was my favorite next to the beach! =D

The infinity pool is heaven. I swear. Lovely. =) we swam and swam there. I loved the deeper pool. I did laps, and yes, ABS BABY! =)) I want abs. We want abs. =)) we played Agawan Base in the shallower pool. Still fun ;) too bad we only had limited time to swim there.

We were in Fuego for only a short time, but nevertheless, we still had so much fun. We were able to do a lot of cool stuff anyway, and it was tiring. =))

In the coaster going back home, we were all asleep for the first few minutes/first hour. It was so quiet. We slept, felt like a long time, but when we woke up, we were still in Tagaytay. Thanks, ha. =| we stayed up anyway. And ate a lot. =)) we got back here at Manila pretty early. 8 pm.

Went to Seattle`s Best after. Ordered milkshakes. Karenina`s name was Strawberry. I was Life, and Thea was Pebbles. Cute names, right? =)

Then we went to Karenina`s crib. SLEEPOVER! We played Game of Life. And I played Solitaire. Then slept at 1 am. =)) we were supposed to have a "jologs night", but it didn`t push through. OH WELL.

Pictures @ my Multiply =) click that link, and comment okay? I have 6 new albums. =D

Tipsy.

LET US ASSUME THAT TODAY IS STILL THE 3RD OF APRIL :)

First day of Trumpets today :) I first met up with Cara, then I saw Karen, Millie, and Bea after. First day was fun :) I just hate the fact that stalkerdude was there. =| all the students in the adult class auditioned for advanced. Cara did, too. AND SHE MADE IT! YAY!!!!!! the dance was pretty hard and tiring but it was fun :)

I went to Irene`s birthday bash @ Music Match after Trumpets. I was kinda late but I guess I didn`t miss out on a lot. We took lots of pictures & videos, sang a lot of crazy songs, and drank the night away:)) there were a lot of people :) I drank almost 2 bottles of beer and I felt super tipsy after. My mom couldn`t stop laughing about my condition. I was (and still am) really hyper. NOT DRUNK. Just tipsy. And really red:)) Cathy was funny. She said she wasn`t dizzy but hell, she walks like she was. IT WAS PRETTY OBVIOUS THAT SHE WAS ALMOST DRUNK:)) we sang Spice Girls and Britney songs :)) I was really hyper that time na. =)) we ended at 11 pm. I had so much fun! I missed them all.

My highlight of the day: Emman & Carl`s "moment". Dang I loved it, I hope it was captured on film (okay technically not. No one uses film na. =P) sayang since Carl moved. =)) it was pretty hilarious.

A lot has happened today I can`t narrate everything here since I`m still kind of not in proper condition now. Kind of drunk but not. =))

HAPPY SIXTEENTH BIRTHDAY IRENE! I love you. =D

Hello, Insomnia

Ballet Manila was great =D they performed last night (technically last night.. It`s April 1.) at Shang. =D they did some dances that they danced at my school the time they came to do a show for us. :)

And speaking of April 1..

Happy April Fools Day! [it`s as if people celebrate it, but wth. =P]
and happy birthday, Edlynne! =D

Again, I have no plans of sleeping. :)) I`ll stay up texting, talking on the phone, or watching OTH again. Idk. Whatever. I`m not sleepy. =|

Hello, insomnia. It`s nice to have you back. =D [nice? EH?]

[edited @ 1:03 am, 2nd April]
I edited some parts up there. I noticed my awful grammar =)) as it is, the first paragraph still sounds awful but what the hell. Nose bleed na. =| kidding. =))
