As Dad was saying, my schedules pretty tight lately-- it's like as if a schoolday schedule. I wake up (very) early at 5:30 in the morning and I leave the house at 6:15 (for soccer training); then, I attend Kumon afterwards, some time past nine; and in the afternoon, I have music lessons and god knows what else I would still like to fit in. But frankly, I'm having fun. Atleast this time, I get to choose what I'd like to do. I mean (in school), you don't get this much freedom-- you're not the one who's choosing your subjects, your teachers, your schedule; most of the timeyou definitely have to ride on with your "given" schedule even though, in your opinion, it sucks, right? Anyway, what I'm trying to say is, even though I'm tied up lately, I'm still loving it; and all these activities serve as my preparation for this coming schoolyear-- only one month left. *screams for HELP*


Believe it or not, I haven't started reading for this Summer Reading Program in school. As in, none-- nada. Well yeah, I tried to read To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee but it's too much of a classic type for me. But don't worry, as we come nearer to the start of the schoolyear, I'll be forced to hold that book with both of my hands, read it, and understand fully. Time will come.. the right time will come. Then, there's still Romeo and Juliet and Without Seeing the Dawn. Frankly, this whole "you-must-read-these-books-for-this-schoolyear-for-it-is-required" is driving me nuts. Yet, I really have to start reading or I will have to cram BIG TIME again.


Yesterday afternoon, we watched The Benchwarmers. Not in the cinemas but in my all time favorite-- pirated DVDs. LOL. I knooooow, it's stealing. ANYWAY. We watched it in the basement while people started renovating our living room. (Gaaaah. Can you just imagine how much my ears are suffering from all the drilling and hammering going on around the house; oh and don't forget dusty (very dusty) atmosphere. Eek.) Going on, I can say that the movie didn't appeal to me much. Hmm. It wasn't that nice nor was it that boring. Just a typical "oh-okay" movie. It didn't have that much impact though. Funny? Yeah. But it's not that entertaining. A bit more for adults because of the language (well, only in some teeny-weeny parts). But anyway, atleast I had something to do rather thanbore myself to.. sleep? LOL.


Footnotes:
1) Soccer training was craaazy today, but nonetheless, it was still fun.
2) I did 5 Kumon worksheets today: four 5-page math homeworks and one 10-page-good-for-an-hour-or-thirty-minutes reading homework. Ahh. Imagine how tired my brain is. I can just feel it gasping for air. LOL
3) I confess to all of you that I can't diet. I can't even survive a day without sweets. Shoot.
4) It was mother's day yesterday and I was amazed that I still made my very own card for mom-- with my own hands.
5) I'm tired and my brain is soooooo tired. Gaaah. I need to rest.
