Island Cove, Batch Outing.. Here We Come!


Today was another fun-filled day-- we just had our batch outing in Island Cove, Cavite. Oh yeah, baby. Summer. :P


Anyway, we were supposed to leave at 6am but sadly, the buses (there were 4 of them, and I belong to the last one :P) weren't moving until it ticked 7. Yeah, we were late. So late. As usual, we started out with a prayer. We prayed the whoooooole rosary. :P Sweet. And since we didn't leave on time, we experienced traffic. I mean it-- traffic. It took us about 3 hours to reach Cavite. Uh, the trip was dreadful.. it was so long but it was also great to be with my friends for the last time this school year. *pouts* I guess we were the bus which contained the least number of people, Pauline was even jumping from seat to seat. Yeah, that's how crazy we can all get. So weird.


When we reached our destination, it was some time past 10. Wow. It was hot. The sun was slowly burning my skin. I swear. You can just feel the heat on your face.


I was actually not allowed to swim due to the time schedule. My parents weren't really favorable of me swimming some time before, during and after lunch. They said it would be so harmful for my skin and probably, before I reach the beach I'm already burned. I guess they were right. Good thing I was obedient that day. *sticks out tongue*


First thing we (Maeca and I) did was change into sports attire since we brought our badminton rackets with us. Afterwards, we proceeded on to looking for that badminton court. We inquired from an unknown staff (I don't know if he was a life guard :P)and he said that it was near-slash-next to the beach volleyball. Darn. Play badminton in sand?? No way. No, no way. So, we asked for another venue and he told us that we could play in the Cavite Hall. Unsurprisingly, we are newbies in this resort so we didn't know where the heck Cavite Hall was. We walked and walked and walked and reached somewhere where there's really high ceiling and it was more like a gym used for programs. We decided to settle there for a while and play and we were really shocked to see that WE WERE IN THE CAVITE HALL. Stupid. Should have read the signs. Hahaha!


I didn't really do anything other than hang out with Hannah, Erika, Angela and Maeca, play billards and badminton, watch Stacey play bowling and roam around and around. Hahaha. I was tempted to jump in the pool since it was really so hot. No matter where you go, the heat seems to take over your whole body. Hahaha. No, I'm not kidding. :P


Well, one thing I could really ensure you guys is that we took a loooooooooot of pictures. Oh yeah. Bad news, I'll be posting it some other time. Can't do it now though. :P Haha.


I'll be leaving for Bicol reaaaaaaaaaal soooooooon. I won't be able to attend the Report Card Day. Phff. Sorry 7-4. As much as I've wanted to come, I couldn't. I'll be stuck in Bicol for 5 days. 5 hot summer days. *sighs* I'm not really that excited, but let's just see.. you never know.. :P

Lil Miss Bratty Graduates


Oh yeah! The feeling's so great once you get to finish elementary course. It's just amazing that I was able to survive the intensity of grade 7. Although it was really terror year for me, I still enjoyed it. I mean, why not.. it's the last year of elementary anyway.


During the program, I can't help but reminisce. I wasn't really prepared to let go and move on to another chapter of my life-- High School. Why? Simply it seems scarier than elementary, scarier than grade 7 probably. Right now, I believe I'm so not ready for High School. I need time to adjust to new situations, I guess. Moving on would require much more than what one expects. Moving on would require you to leave everything and just pretend these things never really happened. I know, memories do last but they'll only remain remembered.. you can never put them back again.


Anyway, the program went on smoothly. I was able to take part in the mass. *wide smile* Took part in the offertory (with the `rents of course). That time, mom was holding me tightly and she was whispering to me "What if nahulog yung fruits natin? Would you run after them?" Instantly, the thought of pears and apples rolling on the floor popped in my mind. So what happened? I started to giggle. Sobra. Fortunately, I was able to control it. Good thing. Ha!


Afterwards, we had the real graduation ceremony. Ang tagal-- that's all I can say. I waited for a while to get a grip of my diplomat. First thing that crossed my mind? "Thank God, tapos na rin!" The feeling's just great. So great. Atleast now, I've finished my elementary course.. High School and College nalang and I'm off on my own. Oh life.. sweet life.. you're going to be mine real soon.
When the distribution of diplomats were finished, they proceeded on to giving the Academic and Special Awards. Surprisingly, I got Academic Honors. It was shocking for me since I didn't really expect it. Yeah, because of HELE. But, atleast, it's good to know that I don't have any failing grade so I shouldn't get nervous when Report Card Day comes.


Graduation was quick. After all these practices, a 4-hour (I guess) program resulted. Wow. Now is the time to perfectly say, Hello High School. I didn't really feel the graduation spirit at first, but I got the hang of it as the program went on. I just couldn't believe that grade school has passed already. It's just part of the history of my life, I guess. Honestly, it has been a great journey all along. I've learned to travel with the ups and downs of life. It was so fun. I loved it.


So, to my friends out there..


Thanks a lot. I'll miss you guys. See you next schoolyear.

Matagal Pa Nga ang Bakasyon


A while ago, I was browsing through my sister's magazine collection and only felt an urge to absolutely end all these graduation practices. Eek. Although, really, it's nearly over. I can wait --I think.

It's almost the end of all these graduation practices *claps* that means we're also getting close to the birthday bash for Ms Cajayon. Oooh.. Can't wait. Sadly, I'll be hosting once again. You know, hosting and I.. ah, we simply don't jive. It hates me as much as I dislike it. It's fair, don't you think? ;) Well, let's just give it a try-- atleast I wouldn't go too much for adlib. Wow. Scripted. I'll just be inserting lines if ever I wish to do so. For the mere fact that we HAVE a script, I'm very much happy. Anyway, this'll be my last hosting thing. Hopefully.

Yesterday, my family and I went to eastwood just to watch the premiere of Nanny McPhee. Gee, it's really a great movie. I swear. You would enjoy it as much as I did since there were laugh trips in between. It kind of resembles Mary Poppins though, but a little more into our generation. Well, not that I'm claiming that Mary Poppins is an antique or old-fashioned movie.. it's just that.. phff.. nevermind. All I can say is that this movie's much better. Atleast it was for me.

Today was definitely not any different-- it only was a bit scary since our batch was called for a re-take in deliberation. Don't really know the exact details. It just simply gives me shivers.

Tomorrow will be, somehow, our general rehearsal. Whew. But surprisingly, we'll be walking with the killer shoes again. Yeah, you know what I'm talking about. Well, atleast now I'm happy to escape the dreadful suffering with my old pair of white shoes. I mean, they just weren't that comfortable to wear. Mom got me a new pair and it was costing less than the ones we got in school. And I think (I hope) they wouldn't hurt as much as my old ones.

Well, it's another fully jam-packed day ahead. Ooooooh. But can't really wait for summer. Bummer X__X

Just Another Regular Day


School. School. School. Graduation practices and nothing more. Ah, the torture of singing.. it simply kills my throat. :P

Well, you've got it right again, today's just another regular graduation practice day. Yeah, nothing more than that. If it wasn't for the upcoming surprise birthday party for Ms Cajayon, I have probably decided of not going to school for one whole week. Ha! I know, I'm too lazy. Actually, what have you got to do but sing and sing and sing and I don't really see the exact point of practicing marching up the stage when you'd just stay there for not more than a minute to get your diplomat?

Not to be too frank, but really.. I've been pissed off singing all day. I mean, I usually get sleepy with all the singing we do, specially when it comes to those slow and unknown songs. I tend to lipsing and all since I don't have the energy to sing my heart out. Let's just reserve it for the day, right?

I can't really wait for Tuesday to come. I can't wait to experience summer once again. The heat, the intensity, the fun, there's nothing more you can ask for. Ah.. I'm really craving for it. Phff. Sadly, I still have to stay for 4 more days of practice. Yikes.

At the same time, I can't fully accept the fact that it's really goodbye gradeschool. Well, for one thing, I would miss every single activity we used to do-- from those kiddie activities in first grade to the more complicated events of 7th grade. It's just hard to let go. I mean, moving on to another chapter of my life would surely take me a long time to adjust; and with all the requirements of High School, I don't think I'll pass. But soon, I'll be entering a new phase, be going in a new building and meeting unknown people along the way. It just simply scares me. The thought of being a High School student just gives me the creeps. I don't know what to expect and I don't know what the people there expect from me, either. It's just plainly.. freaky.

For now, I just want to reminisce-- all the things that happened throughout my whole elementary course. I just want to look back and really see how much I've changed. And as for now, I'd rather not think of the future. Let's just keep track of the present, shall we? :P Talking more about it would surely just give me the creeps.

Desperately Waiting for my OWN Summer Vacation


I have desperately been wanting to go on Summer Vacation. You know, beach.. vacation.. fruit shakes.. ahhhh, the thought of it makes me want to end all this graduation practices all the more. Phff. Another week ahead though, for us graduating students; another week of torment for our throats. But after this, it'll all be over; the hardwork will be over; grade seven will be over :P The moment I've been solemly dying for. Hahaha. So much for a long wait, uh?

Well, today's the last day for the normal students. Ha! Call us the abnormal ones, simply because we have to stay til almost the end of this month just for those friggin graduation practices. Aaaaaaah. Terror. :P

I did my HELE project a while ago. Argh that thing. I might not even reach Academic Honors just because of a simple NON-ACADEMIC project. X( Phff.

Anyways, today is not any different from yesterday, only we were dismissed earlier than the usual time. Ah.. thank God we wouldn't be singing all day long. :P I really don't want my voice to run away from me because of abusing my power in using it. Hahaha. I don't want to get sore throat.. (although I can really suspect that it's coming soon). :P

Rants, rants and more rants


Graduation Practices officially start today. Aaaah.. my voice-- my lovely, lovely voice. Well, it was singing for all of us--once again. Yeah, totally a pain in the throat. Atleast we weren't really singing the whoooooooole day (as I expected it to be), we had breaks in between since we were, at the same time, preparing for Ms Cajayon's surprise birthday party-- Ooooh, something's sizzlin. nyek, corneeeee. I don't know the exact plans yet, but we're working on it. So far, I know the theme's something for the "oldies." Yeah, the oldies. Hahaha.

A while ago, we were shooed from the Grade 7 building since the 5th graders invaded them. The classroooms, I mean. No offense, it was fun being shooed since we get the chance to stay in the Mini Theatre. Oooooh.. sosyal ng practices-- airconditioned:P

I couldn't emphasize more on the things that happened today. Really. I don't know why. (Isn't it obvious?) I think, it's just plainly graduation practice-- that's all. We sang and sang and sang. Ahhh.. sore throat, I know you're near. :P

Anyways, I'm happy to find out that I got a perfect score in Math even though I was kinda in a hurry while taking the test because there wasn't much time left when I took it last Monday, nearly departure time. I really thought I'd commit, once again, a careless mistake; but it was good to know that I was able to ace it. Oh yeah! But still, knowing my QT grade in the said subject just gives me the creeps. I know I've committed some mistakes there. I just can feel it. :P

Oh well, I guess there's nothing more to blab about. I'd better keep my mouth shut for a while. Boo-hoo. Graduation practices will be on for a whoooooooooole week. Ugh.. some hell activities are coming up again.

Of a hell week's vacation


I don't know how long ago I've last updated; all I know is that it was sooooooooo long ago. :P I'm crazy, huh?

So yeah, I can't wait to tell you guys what really happened to me.

Last week, I was sick with very, very high fever. My mom kept on checking on me, to see if atleast my temperature was good enough to even go down a bit, but sadly it wouldn't want to detach from 40. I was really h-o-t then. :P Soooo hot! So, that went on for a whole week. I wasn't able to go to school though and I missed a lot. Hmph. I missed the last-minute lecture of our teachers, specially that of AP (Ahh... so that explains why I had a hard time taking the test). It was terrible. The illness, I mean. Yeah, so terrible that it even drove me to the hospital. Medical City, here I come!

At first, my parents brought me to ER, to know if I needed to be confined or not. In the morning, I was still under observation but towards lunch time, I've got this tube connected to my arm and had some cotton and bandage. I knew, by then, that my condition was only getting worse. Well, I didn't really expect that much trouble to happen, but it just did. Some time 5pm, I was brought to Room no. 915 of the said hospital. Ack. I was confined and it was boriiiiiing.

Every afternoon, there is a group of doctors who come in to check me and my illness. During the first afternoon, they examined me and one doctor thought that I had dengue since there were rashes popping up on my arm, but still it wasn't confirmed yet and that isn't much of a proof of a dengue victim. My mom, the moment she heard it, panicked. Oh.. you know how mother's can get so uneasy just knowing about something not even very well evidenced.

My stay in the hospital was.. fun. I just watch tv whenever I'm awake, but most of the time I'm in Zzzzz mode. It was sleeping, and sleeping, and sleeping for me. The food they serve were good but I didn't have that much of an appetite by then and my Dad bought me some Japanese food, but I still didn't have the mouth for eating.

I stayed for three days and two nights in the hospital. It was a wonderful experience. Yeah right. :P I missed school though and my classmates.. 7-4?:P Hahaha.

Well, right now, I'm fine. Totally fine.. nothing's wrong with me. Really.. I am more than fine.

When I went to school last Monday, I knew it would be one hell of a day for me (atleast for the first couple of days). I had to take the QT's I missed and also the other tests and quizzes. It was a LOT.. believe me, it's torture. But it was fun to be back again.. back on track. Well, what did everyone say? Daaaaaaaaaanielle! Pumayat ka! You know, even the teachers told me that I lost a few pounds. Effective pala magpaconfine :P

Yesterday, they made me take 3 tests in an hour. Ha. Asa ka? :P And then today, it was nothing more like hell. I took 5 tests with no recess at all! Those tests surely made me feel hungry. I grabbed on everything I could eat during lunch though. I munched and munched. You know, just to make up for what my stomach missed. Hahaha. But really, the tests, they squeezed my brain so hard.. it's currently drained. :P So, don't make me think that much.. it might explode.

Anyways, I'm done with everything now. I feel so accomplished. Oh yeah, baby!

So, til my next update.. :P

I'm.SO.Fed.up.


I know that we're about to end the schoolyear; only a week is left for seriousness and study, after this, it'll be all for graduation practice. Yup.. graduation practice which I'm so not looking forward to.

Yesterday, was the best. Yeah, the best.. the best in freakin me out. Argh those projects. I hate 'em. Look, I know we were given time to do our HELE Project (which is to sew shorts, by the way) but the time given wasn't enough. It was announced last Wednesday, March 1st, that the project was due on Friday, March 3. Like how the heck could you finish that, eh? I was only on the verge of cutting the cloth, you know. I still have a looooooooooong way to go. G'luck to me.. yeah right. Well, anyway, I was pissed off (so pissed off) because of the mere fact that the teacher (let's just keep her unknown:P) didn't explain us how to sew. She only explained how to draft which is, by the way, not explained clearly. Now do tell me, how can we pass projects without her explaining it thoroughly. Get my point? I even heard our Class Adviser pleading to her to give us M.O.R.E. time-- atleast, until Monday. But you know how she enjoys torturing us, she announced that she'll be allowing projects to be passed on Monday BUT marked late. Gee, thanks. I.AM.NOT.A.SUPERWOMAN. I don't have the capacity to sew in an instant. Phff.

Want to hear another thing?

The concept thingy in Science was due yesterday, and I didn't pass it. I'm really a gooooooooood student, uh? Now, how am I going to march with all these offenses? The point is that, how am I going to do it if I wasn't able to go to the SCIENCE FAIR. Sheeeeeeesh.

Ugh.. I'm just sooooooo soooooo sooooooo fed up.


I don't care anymore. I hate my life. I hate it. I hate it. I hate it.
