So much news!;

Justin came back,
his mom decided to lack let him come back and attend our ceremony.
When he touched my shoulders and I turned around,
I was: happy, mad, surprised, confused? All of the above.


Paid for the balloons while on my way to school from St. Joseph's.
Mom and I are trying to get as much things taken care of as we can.


I went to my adviser's office to pick up my toga for tomorrow,
she greeted me with a problem.
It's not really a major problem,
I'm still graduating tomorrow.
But I had freaked out and texted Mom to come and help me out.


Apparently she freaked out too because
she got Alex to drive her to my school.
I was texting her that she didn't need to come and I'd explain it to her
but she was already there when I pressed the 'Send' button.


She was so freaked out, she didn't know whether to be mad at me or not.
She's been so stressed lately with the party, my graduation requirements
and a few other family matters.
And I'll admit, I'm not the most helpful person around the house :/


So we went to eat at McDonald's,
Big Mac meal with large fries and large Coke.
For dessert, Mom and Alex had a hot fudge ice cream sundae
and I had a caramel ice cream sundae.
Delicious!


I love riding on the motorcycle with Alex, I feel a million times cooler
which of course makes me a million times more of a loser (:
But that's alright!

I remember elementary, sitting in the classroom afraid to raise my hand because I was afraid I had the wrong answer. Most times ended up that I was correct but someone else who was more confident in themselves would get rewarded.

Not once did I ever go to a school dance in Middle or High School. I was always afraid that I'd be the one sitting alone with no one to talk to.

I was never very involved with extracurricular activities because I never wanted to be in competitions, afraid I'd screw up AND have it recorded.

I kept quiet about my true feelins about people and it always ends up that I never get to say what I really wanted to say.

I'd be here for hours if I list every situation that I should have, could have, and would have done something else different. But now I live a little differently;

I sing in front of people like I'm Mariah Carey. I don't care if every single note I sing is off key.

I dance at all the wrong moments and if there are consequences it's alright because I've learned to never regret what has brought you happiness.

I say what's on my mind because I'm so over keeping my precious thoughts inside my head! You can say it's called easy but it's not because it's never easy sharing your thoughts, but I'd rather have everyone know what I think than have that one person never know how I felt.

Dude, I don't like this roller coaster.

I heard a stupid song and it made me cry.
He texted me and I cried myself to sleep.
I went past his old street and I almost cried.

This roller coaster is not
one of those roller coasters that go
up and down....
it just keeps going down,

Can someone ask management to
pause the ride and let me get off.
Yeah, thank that's be great.

Just some good times;

This was for South County's 2010 Film Festival.
I had a great time with the whole process,
this was my favorite blooper :)

And

here is another one,

.... I think this is the last one.

Here comes the grad.!!

Today;

Mom and I went around getting most of the things needed for the party taken care of.
We were able to buy some of the dry goods that will be needed like napkins, juice mix and salt.
We put a down on the 15 kilos of chicken she ordered,
reserved the tables and chairs,
AND paid for the desserts!
That's a lot that we accomplished!


Tomorrow;

Graduation practice at St. Joseph's around 1:30.
We get our Togas! <--- I think that's how we spell it.
Angelica is suppose to be coming with Aron,
my nephew!
I'm pretty excited because I haven't seen Aron
since December
but I don't want to be (too) excited
because they might not come.

Right now;

Mom is in a bad mood.
I'm going to bed.


Sorry there's only one post today,
I was busy.



P.S. Belinda finally put up the pictures on FaceBook from my visit on Sunday.





... And as promised, there they are!

What was it, like the 6th grade?

when I last listened to this song?

Yeah, I think it was 6th grade... or 7th grade.






I don't like this day,
I don't like it at all.
I hope that tomorrow is better,
some good news would be nice.

Today,

Can today get anymore confusing?
Like most other days,
it started with a text and ended with another.

Events for the day:

1. A goodbye text from Justin at 5:00am which; made me kind of sad?

2. Last day for my Filipino back class; I was so happy!

3. Jasmine didn't want to talk to me when I passed by Grandma's house; I was kind of hurt?

4. I finally got the balloons ordered and they'll be ready in time for the party!;
I was happy about that.

5. Went to Marikit Park with Kris, we just hung out for a few minutes and talked;
I was content with the small walk in the park.

6. Walked to Vercon's, Kris spent an hour printing pictures. The guys were so flirtatious!
It was nice to have something to laugh with and about.

7. Took some really silly photos with Kris. It's in one of the recently posted post. You should watch it; I had such a great time with Kris!

8. I got really mad at the two dogs, they were just so annoying!;
I feel beyond really bad for hurting Shugar.

9. Learned to play That's The Way I Loved You by Taylor Swift;
Words can't describe how surprised.

10. Went to buy dog food in Forestry with Mom, ended up ordering 15 kilos of chicken for Sunday. We also ordered a few kilos of some other things;
I am so relieved that we have atleast a few more things that need to be done out of the way.

11. Kris texted me saying she had really amazing news. She was asked to attend the awards ceremony tomorrow, she will be receiving an award after all tomorrow!

12. I received news, from a text no surprise that one of my classmate's Aunt passed away;
well isn't that just a dandy way to end the day? :/

Happy Birthday Darius!

continual of my message on FaceBook to you;
.... because it means EVERYTHING to me.

Darius McDonald;
You are one of my two very close friends.
I love you and you know it!
There is nothing in this world
that I won't do for you.

It's an amazing feeling to know
that you always have and always will
be there for me.
Don't ever forget that I won't ever
turn my back on you.

I'll support you in whatever,
I'm here when you need a hug,
when you need advice,
when you need help
and when you need a friend.
I won't leave.

There is no one that can change what we have.
I know it's for a fact because there
have been times when have people tried.

I'm really sorry that I can't be there for you birthday this year,
we really need to celebrate when I get back.
For now, I'll celebrate for you here :)
I think cake and ice cream sounds good,
beer sounds good too... JOKE, Mom might read this. :)

P.S. Sorry for such a vulgar message on FaceBook (:

I love you.

It's a demand!!

Just watch of the video, you will laugh.

Exactly 5:04 and 43 seconds this morning;

I got a text this morning from Justin.






Yeah, he was in a post some time last week.





Well he texted his goodbye to me this morning.





I thought I was dreaming, was more hoping actually.





We haven't even had our graduation ceremony
and he's moving 5 hours away NOW?
Wait a minute, I'm suppose to move first!

Well when I was on my way home from my Filipino class this morning
and I got on the jeepney, Photograph by Nickelback came on.
And then I was just like, 'Oh great.'
A song to remind me just how I feel!





The thing I hate the most, I have so many questions
and he's decided not to answer my text messages!

>:[

I'd like to say,

Thank you to Jesus for
keeping my family and I safe,
blessing me with everything that I have
and for giving me such wonderful people in my life.

Last night I prayed
and actually prayed,
not just asked for things.
I thanked Jesus for everyone I love being healthy.

I have been so blessed,
it's beyond what I can put into words.

My family is here with me,
my friends have my back and support me
and I know deep inside that Aunt Malou is watching over me.

I have the last 3 years to prove it all.

All I ask for now is to please give me more patience.

Thank you, Papa Jesus.

Way to go, Billy. :)

It's Billy's dayoff tonight and he's playing the guitar. I like watching him play the guitar, I like watching anyone play the guitar because it's so difficult for me to learn from a video.
Well anyways he showed me this video. It's the song they played at my Aunt Malou's funeral, Billy's mom. I miss my Aunt Malou so much! I wish she was here to watch me graduate.
I was a todler the last time I hugged her but I remember everything about her. She took care of me as her own and I love her for everything she did for me. She's the best aunt any person could ask for.

If I had the chance, my last words would've been 'Thank you. I love you so much!"

I love being with my three cousins Jamie, Angelica and Billy because when I am with them I feel like it was back to when we were all younger and my Aunt was still around. I'd give anything to have her here now.

R.I.P
Aunt Malou

BAMF;;

Today was the Graduation Mass practice at the St. Joseph Catholic church. It was supposed to being at one but because we Filipinos do not have the best time management skills, it started at 1:30.

I waited for Kris who kept saying she was almost there but was not actually 'almost there'. It's alright, she brought me cake because she had her birthday party yesterday. I was not able to make it because I went with Alex and Grace to Belinda's house last night.

I tried sitting there during everyone's singing in tagalog, I didn't succeed... I'm not much of a church person. I'd rather thank and praise God in the peace and quietness of my bed.

Well Kris wasn't up for sitting in church either so we left early. We went to McDonald's for some ice cream. I didn't remember that Mom asked me to buy her a burger too until I was a block away. I went back and bought her Big Mac, it's been her favorite since I don't even remember when.

I did a quick grocery trip for Mom before I went home. Some pork steak, bread and milk. I ran into two of my other classmates and was standing with them when someone tapped my shoulder. I turned to my side and saw that it was my Uncle, Abet. He just said 'hi' and went on with his business. Literally a few seconds later someone else tapped me on the shoulders. I turned around and it was the woman who sells hot dogs at the corner. She asked if Billy was home and I told her I didn't know, partially because I really didn't know and also because I know she's been asking Billy for money and he's already given her money so many other times. She ended up following me home but waiting down stairs, Billy asked me to tell her that he was not home.

I also forgot to go arrange the balloons, I always do! And when I remember, I get lazy and tell myself "I'll do that later" then I forget again. This is ridiculous!

I helped Mom take my grandpa to the barber shop. Jasmine cried when she saw us leaving so to avoid the tantrum, I took her with me. It's hard keeping track of a two year old and a nearly blind and nearly deaf 87 year old. We were walking on the main road is what made it so hard.

My grandpa looks so handsome with his beard shaved and a haircut. We walked back to the house and Mom and I washed his legs and feet. I think he liked that, heck I pay 200 Pesos for that in the salon!

Mom and I hung out there for what had to be at least 3 hours. When Mom wanted to go home and I had no problem with it, Jasmine began to whine. To stop her from whining, Mom gave her a piece of chocolate. This child is going to get fat, every time I leave someone needs to give her some sort of sweet treat to stop her from crying.

Random News, real news.

A few weeks ago Willie Revillame had a contestant on his show, Willing Willie. The boy was maybe 5 or 6 years old. In Willie's show, all the contestants show their talent before starting the game. The little boy's talent was dancing to a Nate Dogg's song. It wasn't a revoking or inappropriate dance but Willie was egging him on and 'hitting' on him. It was out of fun and everyone was laughing not to humiliate the boy but because it was so cute!

The video was posted on YouTube and shared on FaceBook to hundreds of thousdands of people. Of course, there were the contradicters and enough of them for DWSD to 'take action'. Many people said that the boy was humiliated and blah blah blah.

This is all a bunch of non-sense! There are kids suffering abuse because of domestic violence, there are young children on the streets begging because they haven't eaten in day and DSWD flips media for this? The kid won 10,000 Pesos and his father used it to buy him clothes and toys. Is that where our tax money goes? DSWD ignoring the importance to go after a well known star for a situation like that? The boy was adorable and it's not like his parents were standing behind the camera with the 'Dance or you're not eating for the next month' look.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Tomorrow is a mandatory general cleaning in our classroom and it is required that everyone show up. Hopefully I won't forget the balloons


P.S. I know my picture has ABSOLUTELY nothing to do with this post, but it was one of the pictures I took right before I wrote the post :)

I love Kelly!!

I opened my FaceBook this morning and I had a few new notifications, I always get so excited when I see that red notification thingy, yeah I'm a loser. Anyways one was from my friend, Kelly, back in Virginia. We were close when I lived there and I miss her so much!

She posted a video on my wall and I thought it would be a music video from YouTube or something like that but it wasn't! She recorded a video for me and now I feel like extremely special!

I wish I could get that video on here but I'm not sure how. I'll try figuring that out a little later, I'll probably end up Googling it. Google, it got me through middle school, high school and now blogging! :D

---------------------------------------------------------

I have a graduation mass practice later so I'm excused from my Filipino back class this afternoon. Tomorrow is my last day and I honestly can't tell you who's happier about this... me or my teacher, Mrs. Nooki.... or is it Nuki? Or Nookey, maybe Nookie. Jeez, I don't know.

I'll be honest about this one too; as much as I am excited to be graduating, I'm really not up for all thi requirements like practices and runnning around school to get my clearance signed. Thank goodness my classmates are taking care of my clearance.

After practice, I'll stop by my balloon man's store. Hah my own balloon man, I've just gone from cool to 'OMG, you cool.'.... of course this is sarcastically. I ordered Kiara's balloons but totally forgot about Jam's balloons. I'll also be ordering the centerpiece balloon, last minute balloon orders, gotta love the hecktikness <--- is that a word?

For graduation, it'll be Mom and Alex's wife, Grace that will be with me. I wanted Alex to go but he was really not excited when he found out that there will be over 1,400 names called... that's like 6 hours in the convention center. I still wanted him to come but Mom was like "No, don't do that to your cousin." So Alex won and he doesn't have to go to my graduation ceremony.

Kelly Alexandra Reyes

Her ability to create something out of nothing
puts me out of words! I love her drawings, paintings
and her other crafts!



You have to admit, you can't do this.
She did this while working for her art teacher,
watching the shop. I heard about this painting in school
from her while it was still in the making.
I believe that it took a few months and
I wondered why it was taking so long,
I mean it's not like she was painting
the Mona Lisa or anything.
I ate everything I said and thought when
I saw the picture of her painting, it's beautiful!

I know she'll get far in life with art

because she is determined, passionate
and over all pretty darn talented!

It was a nice 'get together'

It sucks that I don't have the pictures but I will make sure to post them up as soon my cousin puts them up on her Facebook.

I went with my cousin Alex to his mom's house to pick up his daughter, my niece May Angelica. Alex's sister also lives with their mother with her 3 daughters and my other cousin's 2 daughters. Yeah, that's how it's done in the Philippines, families live in their own little neighborhood... in America families live like 3 cities away from each other!

Before we left my grandma's house Jasmine, our baby cousin, saw us leaving and threw a fit because I was going and she was not. This child has grown on me like grape vines. My mom asked me to take her so she stopped crying when I finally got off the tricycle to get her. She's really not that hard to look after but I felt bad for taking her and having to leave behind Dorothy because there was not enough room.

The ride to Alex's mom, I guess my aunt, was not as long as I thought it would be. We didn't tell my cousin, Belinda, that I'd be coming so nobody had any idea that I was coming... I guess we didn't have any idea about each other because I thought that it was just my Aunt Mel that would be there. When we got there, we went into the front house. My niece, Faith, was there watching t.v. and there was another woman in the room that I was pretty sure I was not related to... but I'm not positive, even now I still don't know. Belinda came downstairs with her youngest daughter, she was eager to play with Jasmine but Jasmine doesn't really warm up to people in that short of time so she just clung to me. She'd whine when I tried to get her to hug or look at her half sister.

Alex's wife, Grace, wanted me to meet Aunt Mel who was next door. Alex was busy going through the kitchen and so I lied to Jasmine and told her I needed to go to the bathroom, she stayed with Alex while I went next door with Faith, Grace and Belinda.

When we were in Aunt Mel's room, where the other girls were too doing some karaoke, we took a whole bunch of pictures! While taking the pictures, Alex entered the room with Jasmine. I had completely forgotten about them two! Jasmine sat with me and Alex sang one song on the karaoke machine.

We were only there for 30 minutes but I had a blast! It was such a fun atmosphere and I think everyone was just as surprised as I was. I am bigger than just about anyone in the Philippines and they are whiter than any of my other family members.

It was a great night and a wonderful way to end the weekend!

One week to my party and I am excited. Belinda promised to attend the party, she's not really close to this side of the family... but I am glad that her and I get along, she seems really fun to be with!

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

My brilliant 'Graduation Walk' plan

I can't really explain to you the walk I plan to do when my name is called for graduation but it made my family laugh when I told them about it earlier today. I asked my Grace to make sure she got a video or picture of me when I was up there doing my silly walk, so I'll be able to show it on here. I hope there are no consequences for this little, harmless act.

First cut is the first song!!

Before I tell you guys my big news, I just want to inform you that my internet connection SUCKS! It keeps going off line and it's slower than as slow as slow can get <--- makes sense, right? u Well now that you're informed on my connection problemo, I can finally tell you my event of the week which just occurred over the last 5 minutes. Of course, I can't just straight through tell you what it is, I have to give you the introduction... after all, this is a blog! I was going through my music folder, trying to find some songs that I haven't played in a while. I went through a few songs because finally playing The First Cut is The Deepest by Sheryl Crow. I listened to the song a few times, I like songs that I know words to... it makes me feel like a rock star singing in front of my laptop acting like I'm recording a video for YouTube, just my thing. ANYWAYS, I decided to go Google the chords for the song. The chords were pretty simple, they were three of the few notes that I know. While all this was happening, I just so happened to have my guitar next to me :) I picked up my guitar and began playing. It took me about fifteen minutes but I've got the song down, sort of kind of. I've got the notes down but my strumming is still awkward and I still can't switch fingers for the notes fast enough. I'll work on that.

I am so happy! I'd like to look at the chords again but my internet connection is being stupid. I'll also have to wait to be able to press the 'publish post' button until my internet decides that it's a good time to work.

Right now, I am watching Mom untangle the stereo wires behind the television. I just have this crazy feeling that she's getting ready to be upset, start cursing the wires then she'll be in a bad mood until she finally gets the wires untangelized... which, unfortunately, could be a while. It took me a couple of minutes to write this paragraph and she hasn't started to get upset, but it's coming! I just know so :)

So while I am waiting to start hearing curse words from the living room, I decided that I'd just start a completely RANDOM topic!

I have a younger cousin, her name is Jasmine and she's just a little over two years old. She is so adorable and I've gotten into a habbit of spoiling her! Nearly everytime I come home, I have candy for her or give her money to buy ice candy from the neighbor's. Everytime she see's me, she'll yell 'Aunty!'. I keep reminding her that I'm her cousin and not her aunt but that still doesn't stop her from calling me 'Aunty!' so I've given up trying to change that... I've decided that I'll just wait until she's older to break the news that I'm not her aunt. Anyways, there are times when I don't know to be annoyed by her or laugh because of her adorableness. After school, I'll chill at my grandma's house, that's where they live, but when I want to leave I can't because Jasmine will cry. And there are times when all it takes is a kiss for her to let me go and then there are other times when I have to sneak through the back gate to leave. Sometimes I like to take her out with me to McDonald's or if my mom asks me to do something in downtown. I try to do it around lunch time when her two older brother and sister are at school. It's difficult trying to take them all at the same time since they are all under the age of ten. Jasmine is very well behaved in public and it's easy to take care of her, except for the times when I can't understand her and she's screaming and I'm freaking out because I don't speak Todler. She loves riding in the jeep. What I don't understand about her though is that when I take her to McDonald's or Jollibees, she doesn't like playing in the play area. She throws I fit when I try to get her to play. I've given up on that.

Well my mom has managed to get the wiress untagleized without one curse word! Yepee!

After all this blogging and getting mad at my internet router, I've gotten hungry. So now I'm eating my cup noodles. Thanks Billy for getting me hooked on these things! When Billy was sick, his girlfriend bought him a whole bunch of 'get better' food including the cup noodles. He didn't finish the cup noodles so I ate the last cup and I begger Mom to get me a stock of it. Hahah, well this is my last one so I guess I'll have to go shop for more, maybe tomorrow or hopefuly some time this week. I have one almost every night!

Another one of my
'I Hope I'll be in a movie or even a Commercial'
photo op :)


Lucky Me Supreme
Chicken Sotanghon Lite
Cup Noodles

"Oh yeah, I love my chicken sotanghon chicken noodle cup!"



"Cup noodles for the rock stars in life!"



"I love my noodles so much, the boiling water doesn't bother me a bit!"
... okay, so maybe that wouldn't be such a good line to put in a commercial :/


"So try Lucky Me's Chicken Sotanghon cup noodles today!"

The Party!

My graduation party is less than a week away, less than ONE week! That means my actual graduation is coming up soon, obviously! For those who can't guess it, I'm more than a bit excited for the end of this week. I just hope it goes as fast as the last ten years have gone by!

This week, I'll be pretty busy... at least I hope so because time goes by faster when I have a list of things to do. Monday and Tuesday I have Filipino back classes in the morning and afternoon. Monday afternoon I have a graduation Mass practice at St. Joseph church. I have practice again on Wednesday but it's just at the covered court of our school.


I also have to actually reserve a videoke for the party on Sunday. If I wait too long, I might not be able to reserve one. I also have to decide the final menu and how much is going to be ordered or cooked so my mom and I can finally grocery shop the things needed. I have to get the banner made, that reminds me... I have to gather some pictures for that banner. I'm going to meet up with the balloon man (it's just what I call him) so I can pick the colors for the balloons. THEN we have to rent plastic chairs but I'll probably do that Saturday afternoon. But now that I am thinking about it, I should probably reserve Thursday night.

I hope that those things keep me busy, at least just a little bit. I really don't want to be sitting in the house all week until Friday....

Something IMPORTANT I just remembered at this moment, I have to buy batteries for the camera so I can post some pictures on here. I'll have to buy extra ones for the party too! I kknow that it'll be like a photo shoot at the party, most of my classmates will be there.

I'll have to hide my guitar! I've only had it for a week and I don't really want many people using it, and there will be a lot of younger kids at the party too... I'm really not about to have little kids playing my precious guitar!... Especially because the guitar probably is bigger than most of them.

Hopefully the people who promised to come, will come. I hate how it's always the things you look forward to the most that always ends up screwing up or being screwed up. I guess that's just life. And that is definately a main for this blog!

Picture 1: http://media.photobucket.com/image/colorsplash%20balloons/MissSingingClam/Picniked/Balloons.jpg?o=5

A day filled with YouTube-ity.

Please trust and believe that I'll be here for you

There's nothing that nobody in this world could do,

to change how I feel,

how I feel about you.

Woah, who's that for? Hopefully someday, I'll have the guts to say so. But I'll say one thing, he'll be the first one I'll tell :]

Happy Birthday Kris!!

So it's Kris' birthday today and it's basically a weekend celebration! It's Saturday now and Charlene and I came over to her house with Charlene. Jemar decided to follow a while later.

Charlene and I met up at the Mansion Bakery Shop. We decided to do something cute for Kris; we bought a slice of chocolate cake, a pretty big slice, and I asked for a pink candle from the lady... who gave it for FREE :)

After the bakery shop, we rode a tricycle to Kris' house. We gave her the cake and the necklace and earrings my mom decided to give to her. I decided to get a little creative and I sprinkled some M&M's on the cake. We ate junk food and drank juice, watched some Spongebob too!

After playing Jemar's guitar for a while, we got bored and decided to go to the internet shop around here. So now, this is where we are! My mom wants me home around 5 or 5:30 so I'll be leaving in a little while.




Last night was... interesting. Billy woke up my mom with a text and the rocket shot to the moon from there. We slept a little late so getting up this morning was a bit hard.

Now I'm watching my favorite YouTube star, NigaHiga! I haven't been watching his videos for almost a year now and I miss it so much!

Well because I'm running out of things to say, I should end this post now :)

Another one bites the dust!!

Well there goes another pair of my slippers.

I seriously need to buy chew toys for my dogs. Geez, they chew up shoes like they're being starved. We feed them 3 times a day, pure dog food with Bear Brand milk! That's more than what most kids in the Philippines eat! And how do they repay Mom and me?... They chew up our slippers and shoe laces.

But no matter what my dearest babies do, I still love them.

Earlier today, I took Beanie to the vet for his shots. I insist on putting a muzzle on him because when we ride the public jeep, people freak out when they see a dog! Well it's been a while since I've put a muzzle on Beanie so he hasn't been used to it. So when I tried putting it on him, he was fighting with me! He wasn't biting me but he kept wiggling and yelping. The worried looks on people's faces said everything, they thought I was hurting him! I was definately not hurting him! I finally held him in some wrestling choke hold type of thing and got him to stay still long enough to get the muzzle of him. My poor Beanie baby obviously does not enjoy his mouth being clamped shut. He gave me the puppy eyes and he held his head down the whole time we were waiting for a jeepney. I tried having him walk but it's part of his stubborn, spoiled rotten attitude that he refused to walk with the muzzle. I was not about to take it off just to have him walk then have to fight him again when we ride the jeep so I swooped him up against his wagging tail's will.

It was an hour trip to the vet's shop because of the ridiculous traffic in downtown. It was bumper to bumper but there were a few times when the jeepney actually went a few yards straight.

When we finally got to his vet's office, even without the muzzle, he refused to walk in the door. He does this everytime, even at the groomer's! I was tired of swooping a setting him down just to get him through doorways so I tugged his ass straight through the doorway straight to next Tuesday :) Beanie has been acting so weird lately and I have no idea why! The guy at the vet who usually picks him up and weighs him couldn't even pet him today. Beanie growled at him which he has never dared to do at anyone! So i had to, once again, swoop him up and hand him to the vetinararian's assistant.

We go back tomorrow for his actual shots since today was just a check up and a weigh in. Goodness, Beanie is more work than a full time job!

Alyssa Bernal;

The first video I saw of her's was her cover on Taylor Swift's Better Than Revenge. I liked that one so I went through her other videos until I was actually hooked. I watched most of them in one night and finished the rest the next day. I think she is an amazing young artist. Although she's been compared to Selene Gomez, Miranda Cosgrove and Vanessa Hudgens... her voice by far is better because she sings gracefully with a splash of confidence.

I love my guitar, too bad I can't play.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

If I ever learn to play the guitar decent enough and post a video on YouTube and get discovered by some famous rapper, this will be my album cover picture :)

It's Friday, (TGIF), and it's been 4 days that I've had my guitar. I know a few more notes but I still suck at strumming. I only practice when no one is within hearing distance because, well let's face it... it's embarrassing.



A few friends came over last night to chill out and play the guitar. Mom cooked us up some hot dogs and they stayed here until around 7. I get so entertained when I see someone playing the guitar, probablt because I have this inner thought or wish that maybe I'd be a musical prodigy and learn by just seeing someone else do it. Hahah, yeahhh right.

Hurrying it up, just a quicky.

It's my bed time! It's almost 11 and since I'm taking a Filipino back class, I still have class in the morning while everyone else is snoring away in their bed! It's alright because in just a few more days I'll be doing the same thing!
I can't find a picture for this post because I don't have time, my mom is about to blow a casket. I so can't wait until I can blog until my finger tips bleed! Well, good thing nothing interesting happened today!

I gotta love my dogs (:

Otherwise I'd have to kill them for chewing up all my shoes and sandals, including my black chucks!

I've had Beanie for over two months now, he's averagely trained and knows exactly when to act innocent because he's done something he shouldn't have been doing. With a stare I can make him sit and he doesn't bite, just chases and barks at people. Overall, he's a pretty good family dog.

Shugar on the other hand is a different story. It's been about a month, more or less, that we've had her. She is nowhere near where Beanie was when he was at her age. At times, most times actually, I get so frustrated with her! She always bites my pant legs and tries to bite me in the face.

I try not to give biased love, but I'll admit that I sometimes let myself slip.

But enough of my babies!

Since graduation is nearing, there is really no requirement for us to attend class. It's a different story for me, I have to complete one more class before I can actually walk across the stage on April 01.

But I'm glad because after my class I got to hang out with my friend, Kris, and our English student teacher, Sir Donny. We sat outside of the English work room and talked. It's really nice talking to Sir because it's honestly like talking to another teenager. Kris and I were with him for about another hour or so until he had to go. He promised to go to my graduation party!







So I'm graduating, why am I so sad?

I never thought that actually graduating would make me so sad. I really had fun while I was in high school and to think that it'll be all in the past in just 2 weeks is so... not cool :)

I'm on the right track Baby, I was born this way (:

I got my guitar last night. It was actually a quite a little trip. My 2 older cousin, Alex and Billy, my baby cousin, Jasmine and my mom came with me. We first ate at McDonald's, yeah I wasn't sure if that was for Jasmine or me :) I can say we both equally wanted it.

My cousin, Billy, helped me pick out a guitar. I absolutely love it! It's a wood color and because I'm not exactly a teen with a musical prodigy... that's all I can tell you about my guitar (: Oh... and it has six strings.

My forefinger, middle finger and ring finger hurts like crazy because I worked practically all night to learn a few notes. Billy sat with me for about an hour because he knows a little on playing the guitar. He showed me the basic notes that I should learn first then some songs that he learned to play when he was younger. Let's just say if playing music was really like breathing, I'd suffocate. I'm pretty sure my strumming skills aren't to die for either. But hey, let's not down my abilities. Give me a few years and guitar lessons and I could be the next Alyssa Bernal!

So after a night of playing the guitar, of course I wake up to a day full of what I was so not up for. Mrs. Tanteo, my adviser, texted me this morning asking me to come to her office with my mom. I totally freaked out when I read the message because I could not, even if it saved my life, could think of why she would want to speak to my mother. You wouldn't have guessed that I was a mess if you had been the one to read my reply message, I simply said 'Ok.'

So the part when we actually spoke to her was not bad at all. In fact, it was quite suprising. It was when we spoke to the department head of the Filipino. So for those who don't know, I'm Filipino but I was raised as an All American Girl minus the blonde hair blue eyes, now I moved back to the Philippines to finish high school. I can speak tagalog but it's like listening to a first grader when I'm reading it. Anyways, because I'm a transfer from a different country, I have to complete first year high school Social Studies and Filipino subject. The department head told me that for the week I was going to go to their office morning and afternoon for one on one classes. I was going to be doing a whole year of Filipino in just 4 days, starting tomorrow. I'll take tests, do some homework and make a fool of myself reading out loud.

But as much as I dread it, I'm so up for the challenge. Probably because I don't want to do anything that will jeopardize me graduating in just two weeks!
