LINGGO NG WIKA '12

This morning until the afternoon, our school celebrated the annual Linggo ng Wika. We also had the so-called "laro ng lahi" in which we play a bunch of Filipino games like palayok, tug-of-war, patintero, kadang-kadang, and so much more. Fortunately, our batch, the Third Year, won in some of them. I am honestly proud of all our players who participated in all of the games and did their very best to win the game and show the other levels how we don't suck anymore! I wanted to play in the tug-of-war, but eh. I wasn't in the mood. Also, my P.E. was ruined. (Long story.)

Basically, we had a lot of fun. Seriously! Everything went well-I thought it wouldn't at first, but in the end, everything came together and made me happy, happy, happy! And because I am happy, I will be posting pictures taken during our event.

Meet our muse, Angelica. She's a friend of mine as well. She's pretty, isn't she? :3 :)

The parade.

I really had fun today. Hope everyone had a fun day as well! -Alice :D

And before I forget...

HAPPY, HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MISTER PERSEUS aka PERCY JACKSON! \m/ :D

Ooh, boy. I can still recall the first birthday I celebrated with you, along with your million fans all over the world. It was August 18, 2010; I had just entered high school as a 1st year. I didn't do much, really. I only greeted you via Tumblr. But still, in my heart, I was thrilled and happy to finally be able to celebrate your birthday with you. It was then I felt like I was really part of the fandom. Call me weird and all, but it's true. And I promise to stay with this fandom, through thick and thin, no matter how many years have passed, even if people forget about Percy Jackson and nobody remembers to read it anymore, I will always be here. Forever. Until time comes that I shall depart from this world and enter into a new one. PJO means so much to me, and I am grateful to Rick Riordan for making such an awesome book series. Hopefully he never stops writing about Mythology, whether Greek, Roman, Egyptian, Norse... I will still love them nonetheless.

... omg ang arte ko pala

A lot of things have happened since I last posted an entry here.

I don't know how to summarize them, mostly because I forgot them. Whoops. Anyway, I'll still try to fit some details before getting on to what I really want to talk about. This month of August, we, the Third Year students, are having our NCAE or "National Career Assessment Examination". Basically, our whole lives depend on this test since this will determine what course we are suggested to take and whether we're going to attend in a good college. I'm nervous about this exams a lot; I feel like I won't be able to pass. But then again, if I keep thinking negatively, nothing good will come out of it. I pray to God sometimes, just so He'll give me the knowledge, wisdom and concentration to do my best in these exams.

Another thing is that I got sort of good scores in our exams, both Summative and Quarterly. My lowest were Trigonometry, Statistics, Chemistry, and Microbiology. Obviously I have to do better next quarter if I want to excel. I will do my best. And I'm hoping I'm going to get better scores and grades next quarter.

Okay, I think that summarizes all of the things that happened. Well, I did skip on a few things, but I don't think they are important enough to be announced, anyway. And now, I shall start.

I chatted with him last night on Facebook. If you're asking who made the first move... it was me. It's called, "being brave". Honestly, I never thought I'd be able to do it. I was getting paranoid again thinking about stuff like, "OMG WHAT IF HE DOESN'T REPLY?" or "WHAT IF HE IGNORES MEH? ASDFGHJKL" ... Yeah. I'm weird. So after typing and sending in his chat box, I waited for a few moments (thankfully, it didn't reach minutes). He actually replied to me! Can you imagine? *le dreamy sigh* We talked for almost one hour, I think. We kept on talking about different stuff, jumping from one topic to another topic. It's weird, really. He treats me like a friend, even though we aren't that much close yet. Guess he's just really nice like that. I love him. What? Who said that?

Hihi~ Welp, until the next entry. - Alice ♥

HAPPY DAYS

Yesterday, August 6, 2012, was one of the happiest days of my life... again. It was the first time we had an actual conversation. And you know what? He was the one who started it! Can you believe it? I certainly don't. I can't even get over it yet. More than 24 hours had passed and I'm still thinking about it. asdfhjkl I AM SO HAPPY

But wait. Before I go all crazy and hyper again, let me tell you what happened. It was almost the afternoon; the whole school had a practice for the mass that was supposedly to be celebrated tomorrow, August 8. Although we're not sure yet whether there will be classes or not because of the heavy rain. Anyway, after the practice, Sr. Rosario, one of the sisters (nuns) in our school, asked the former Koro Dominicano (the school choir) to have a short meeting. Being one of the former choir, of course I had to go. I sat beside an empty seat. Jokingly, I told my friends, "Doesn't anybody want to sit beside me?" Then, I saw him go near the empty seat and... Guess what? He sat beside me. ME. I couldn't breathe when that happened. I kept playing with my I.D. awkwardly since I felt really weird and all. It was also the first time I've ever been close to him. The feeling was like being in a very closed room. I couldn't breathe and I feel like I was about to burst. While Sr. Rosario was saying something, he muttered to me...

Him: Ui, palitan mo na ako sa pag-piano. Pagod na ako e.
Me: E mas magaling ka po kaysa sakin e...
Him: Hmph. De bale, ikaw naman susunod next year.
Me: Paano po si Aira? Mas magaling po siya kaysa sakin.
Him: Tinanong ko na rin siya. Ayaw niya raw; sabi niya mas magaling ka sa kanya.
*after a few moments*
Sr. Rosario: Sino pang marunong mag-piano dito?
Roanne: *forces me to raise my hand*
Sr. Rosario: O, kailangan mo ng mag-training dahil ikaw na yung susunod next year.
Him: *nudges my arm* Sabi ko sayo e!
Roanne: Kuya ______, ikaw po yung magtuturo kay Lala, ha!

ARGH BAKIT NIYO AKO PINAGTUTULUNGAN OMFG

Lol kidding. Welp, that's all. (and I still can't breathe!) -Alice <3

As I promised, more pictures from yesterday!

I apologize for them being blurry because we didn't have a camera with us and only used our cellphones.

Before I end this post, let me introduce to you my friends one-by-one.

From left to right: Marianne (the girl with the ever-so white legs), Mhave, Blessie, Lorraine, Alex (the girl doing the 'peace' sign above Lorraine's head), Hazel, Angelica (the girl beside me), Faye, Monique, Antonette, and Roanne.

I am indeed very grateful to have wonderful and amazing friends like them. ♥ 

Yesterday was one of the best days in my entire school year.

Three wonderful and spectacular things happened to me. Let me narrate them to you one by one.

First, it was morning after our flag ceremony in school. We had a triduum in honor of St. Dominic de Guzman, the patron saint of our school (or something like that). The former Koro Dominicano had to sing onstage while my crush played the piano. I was overwhelmed and inspired by him as he played, as always. After the triduum, my friends Antonette, Roanne, and Hazel made me stay backstage for a while. For what reason? I didn't know. Until he came and they called him, "Ui, Kuya _______! Ang galing mo mag-piano a! By the way, kilala mo na ba si Lala?" They pointed to me. Then, he looked straight at me and said, "Lala? Ui! Ikaw yung susunod na magpa-piano next year a!" I wanted to say something, but I couldn't. I couldn't find the right words, and it was like my tongue was getting twisted. I was... speechless. I swear I even cried after we talked to him. It was the first time he actually talked to me, looked at me in the eye. Finally, he knows who I am.

Second thing isn't going to be such a big deal, but it is for me. It was dismissal time. While I was passing by the canteen, he was there, simply standing, waiting for his friends who were talking to a teacher. I decided that it was time to make a move. So I breathed in deeply, trying to take all of my courage, and breathed out. Finally, I smiled at him. He smiled back And his smile... it was beautiful.

Third was probably the most awesome thing that happened yesterday! (Okay, so it's probably tied up with the first. And the second as well.) My friends and I went to my house to have a movie marathon. And it was the best M.M. we've had ever since! And it happened in my house! All os uf were just bonding and hanging out, watching movies while eating a bunch of foods like mom's tacos, popcorn, junk foods, and the like. We watched two movies: The Sixth Sense(1999) and Blades of Glory(2007). Yes, one scary and one funny, because that's how we roll. When it was 5:30pm, some of our friends had to go. (Aw!) But before they were able to, we had an awesome photo-shoot. Here are some of the pictures we took outside of our house, courtesy of mom's cellphone.

I shall post more later because I want to. Teehee!~ :3
