Unexpected Trip to Laguna!

2010-12-05T07:04:00.000+08:00

I was invited by mom to join them to send my sister to her college in 4 o'clock in the morning. LOL.

Look, it's so dark in 5:00am.

Tried on my new shades! :)

What a pose!?!

3rd Day of Intrams

2010-11-26T15:12:00.001+08:00

Nothing much happened in the morning of the 3rd Day of Intrams.

It was about 10am, we played Tug Of War. We really had you know, BIG enemies. They were SO BIG, that after just a few seconds the game was done. After that, I was like crying. My hands were pretty numb after T_T

At abut 11:30am, our game was Patinter (a Pinoy game), we won 2 times but didn't made it into the championship.

My classmate brought her korean magazine, I borrowed it for a while. It has many TVXQ and JYJ articles there.

And many articles of my hubby too, Park Yoochun :)

Our volleyball game started at about 1:30pm. Again, I was the first service. /pressure on me

The game was exciting. The scores were just points apart...

And fortunately, WE WON. We are the Champion in 3rd Year Volleyball Girls. I'm so proud!
Hehe. Of course, I got emotional after, I cried and cried. It was like, after 2 yrs. of loosing, we finally won. After weeks and days of practicing and training, we won!

Bloopers! I was so tense, I drank water so fast. LOL! I guess the person who took this was great XDD

While I was crying...OMG, so embarrassing. Why did I post it? Anyways, LOOOOOLS!

After that.. one of my favorite teacher stopped by our school.. we went out to SM Val and ate at Mang Inasal XDDD

2nd Day of Intrams 2010!

2010-11-24T18:10:00.000+08:00

What could I say? 2nd Day was filled with many hours of waiting in the canteen, hours on school grounds practicing volleyball, being a member of the committee, screaming out loud to cheer for my fellow classmates who terribly lost, our first game and many more!

My sleepy seoulmate sleeping :) She looks so adorable.

I just love this pic. Her face was so... :P

Kenneth, what I can say he's the best spiker in our batch. It's so powerful, I was hit several times already, I can say, he was strong. It blew me away, literally XDDD

The Seoulmate Couple scoring the game. We had mini fights, I was irritated, honestly. But it was just a small fight, it ended with big smiles in our faces.

The Volleyball Team (Girls), the first six (best six?), plus Arianne. Where's Judith? XDDD

A short prayer before the game, I almost cried.

Honestly, I was nervous. My first service was horrible, after that I was less tensed so I did a good job :)

Swish!~

I got sunburn on my face, it took my energy. I slept for hours after the game.

and YES, we WON our first game!

1st Day of Intrams 2010

2010-11-24T18:05:00.000+08:00

Nothing much happened. Basically, the program first, then everything's so random after. Mostly what I did was eat, take pictures, play volleyball, chat with friends and the cycle begins again.

We had a RED jersey. I specially wanted 5, for TVfXQ :)

Forever 5!

That's only half of the number of HIGH school students in our school. Imagine pre school, elementray, high school plus college. XD

My seoulmate playing volleyball. LOL at her face.
Good thing I was the only one holding the camera. I didn't have pics like these.

The Day After My Birthday

2010-11-20T20:28:00.000+08:00

Actually, this day was for our practice in Volleyball, but I offered them pizza. cake and ice cream after our training. :)

Ok. There were 8, YES 8 BOXES OF FREAKIN' PIZZA!! :))

Iced Tea :P

My Birthday Cake :)

I wished a wish. XDDD I hope it will come true someday :)

Me and My Seoulmate :)

Many more pics in my facebook. Too lazy to upload them! Sorry!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME! :P

2010-11-19T19:57:00.001+08:00

It's my party, and I'll cry if I want to
Cry if I want to, cry if I want to
You would cry too if it happened to you.

-Lesley Gore from the song It's My Party

I can't believe I'm already 15, so old. JOKE!

Many things have changed, my hair, my face, my body, my attitude, my perspective on things. But it's still me, Rachel Ann. I still want to keep my own uniqueness, yet I want to change myself to. I want to be a better me.

Anyways, I didn't want a big party or anything. But I guess deep inside I want to. I want even one day, everyone will focus on me. But I guess it didn't happen. But what I received was just enough, my friends and classmates greeted me, over and over again XDDD

I even made it myself. XDDD I'm so vain!

Look at my eyes! They're UNEVEN! o.O

LOOOOK! I saw a rainbow just after the annual rain/storm on my birthday. I guess it gives me new hope :)

Palabok!~ Hehe. My mom bought it, the real party is for tomorrow.
(You'll see HoMin in the cup nearby XDDD)

My sister's gift. A cute Elmo coin purse. :)

My bestfriend's gift. They're so cute!~ I wore them today, having two ponytails XDD

And guess what? Today was also the distribution of report cards and announcement of top 5. I guess my grades were.. good, except for my history, total fail. I mean, it was the lowest as expected. I'm still at the top 6. Just one more push, I'm in the top 5. I want to cry but tears won't fall from my eyes. I'm still sad. I really want to be in the top 5! I curse myself for being so lazy. I hate myself.

Anyways. That's all folks!

My Last Day of Being 14. T_T

2010-11-18T22:05:00.003+08:00

Hehe! As you all know, tomorrow's my birthday. Hehe! I don't really want a big event or a luxurious party, I just want it to be special. Kekeke, to my fellow bloggers, please greet me too. I would really appreciate it :)

I can't believe in just hours, I'm gonna be older. I don't want to grow old!~~

I'll share what I did for the past week, I've been really busy in school and practicing for our volleyball game next week that I forgot to blog. So sorry my blog!~

2010 Kumon ASHR Awarding

Nov. 13, 2010

Manila Hotel

In the main lobby

Overall, We were late and the program was boring. I had no one to talk to and I was sleepy, so yeah, nothing to talk about.

In the Comfort Room :PPP

Ooooh. The light!!!

We went to Manila Ocean Park, we ate there and bought clothes. (Specifically, bra for me cause I forgot to bring one cause my dress already has a built in foam bra. XDDD)

Change Outfit :P

Small Party for my Sister Anna's Birthday

Last Tuesday was a holiday so my relatives decided to have a small party for my cousin's birthday. There were many people and so many food! I was so full that afternoon that it was hard for me to talk XDDD

Volleyball Practice Part 1

After my heavy lunch that afternoon, I immediately went home and practiced volleyball with my friends. After that we even played in the playground nearby. It was so fun :)

Tattoo.. for kids!!

After the volleyball practice, once again i went to my aunt's house to eat. All of a sudden my cousins went out of the room, having a tattoo either on their arm or their shoulder. Obviously I was jealous and tattooed myself.

I have big arm, I know >,<
Anyways, It was supposed to say TVXQ5. I guess, I was clumsy enough to put down my sleeves and unintentionally erased number 5.

I guess that's all for this week.

I hope you'll wish me luck for tomorrow, our report cards will be given, please pray for me to be in the top 5.

And happy birthday again to me!~ :)

Going to the University...

2010-11-06T15:43:00.001+08:00

Hello again blog! It's been a week since I last posted, YES, I know. I'm sorry! I'll make it up to you with this post.

As for the title, it's not me going to the college or something. I just accompanied my sister to register in her university in Laguna (It's a 4 hr. drive from here when driving XD)

You can see Mt. Makiling from afar. :)

Stopped over at a gas station and we also bought food after :)

My sis filling out the registration form. I love the chairs there, so cool XD

Me and My sis taking a picture with 'PegAraw' (from the words Pegasus and Carabao) behind us is the university's library.

We didn't stayed there long, after about 2 hrs. of the registration, we went to Tutuban Mall. It's like a cool mall with lots of cheap products even if the products there are almost full of imitations, I loved it there.

It had this cool Korean shop. My sis and I bought this cool ice cream and noodles, spicy noodles, which I couldn't even taste >,<

Ppong Ta! The bubble-gum flavored Popsicle ice cream. It was tasty at first, but the taste was diff. after a few minutes.

RAMYEON! Spicy Noodles w/ free chopsticks XDDD

My sister and I goofed around in the car. The trip was boring, I guess. We took many more pics after that. XDDD

Anyways, I shopped for new sneakers! Yehey :P
I also bought designs stuff for my notebooks. Well, that's it. So goodbye again! :)

United Nations Day 2010

2010-10-31T19:10:00.002+08:00

Hello again blog! I'm so sorry to not have updated yesterday, too lazy to type la. XD

United Nations Day last Friday

After spending too much effort and money on our Diorama and Eco-Dress, finally it was the judgement day.

Two of my greatest friends (the one in the yellowish dress and the one in the middle) are both important in the even because they probably gave 90% of their energy for it to be prepared.

First Pic: Brief History about UN

Second Pic: Opening Remarks

That's Darryl, our muse. And she's wearing the "Eco-Dress" made from recycled materials.
She was awarded as "BEST ECO-DRESS" (1st Place :P)
and "MISS BIODIVERSITY 1st Runner-Up"

There were so many great dresses too, I'm so happy that we have the best among the rest :D

I stolen a picture when we started cleaning the place where the Diorama has been placed.
It was like really really hard to put that diorama and only took a few minutes to remove it T_T

This was just like half of the garbage after removing the decorations. We were just starting when I took this pic XD

Mini-Stop Celebration

Our school is only surrounded by 2 convenience stores, 7-Eleven and Mini-Stop. We already went to 7-Eleven many times in the past and Mini-Stop was just new and it was closer :D

We ate like crazy people because removing the diorama was so tiring and I didn't get to eat or drink during the 4-hour program.

Kariman! I ate that! :

She's just pretending to be shy, in reality she's a camwhore like me XD

I drank Coke Zero. That's Naira, the mode of it XD

Drank Iced Tea too, it tasted like rust, which was weird :/

Chips Ahoy! One of my fave!

Epic Fail. I set the timer and placed it on the side, didn't knew that only our heads were captured XD

Me and my bestfriend, Dins. We are the SEOULMATES couple XDDD

Random Artworks XD

2010-10-25T16:55:00.004+08:00

These are the butterflies we made for our dioROOMa

Close-up. It's bade is made from cardboard box and poster paint. Dins made the sketch, I colored and cut them :)

Bees made for the dioROOMa too. Dins made them

They're for our group project in Geom. It's supposed to be the desert in the night XD

Slogan Making :)

Project in Home Economics :D The beads should be made into flower, being creative (more like lazy XD) I turned the flowers in to heart, same as the leaves XD

Close-up shells. So cool!

For the project in Arts. It's supposed to be the background for titanic XD

Project in Trigonometry. Bookmark of Formulas.

Extra paint + extra board = random fandom!
Fingerpaint: Saranghae DongBangShinKi
(Translation: I love DBSK)

Just press enter!

Ooohh. My sister's phone :D

Cool! Yellow Clouds XD

New Speakers + New DVD player = New Theater Experience inside the room XD

Back from HIATUS!

2010-10-21T18:43:00.000+08:00

HELLO AGAIN BLOG! I missed you so much! Haha! I've been keeping all my thoughts for almost two weeks now! I'm so happy I'll able to express them again!

Anyways, this past week has been my hell week.Yeah! Hell I Say!
We submitted projects, had long tests, submitted our notebooks. So tiring..
And just few hours ago, the last day of our exam. Phew! /wipesofsweat. I guess, I did GOOD. But I know I can do BETTER than that. I'll just DO my best AGAIN on the next quarter /cries.

Hekhek. I just saw this a few days ago. It's so cute. I meant, I WAS so cute. I dunno what happened to me now T_T

That's my 10 days older cousin, Stephen and Me.
I think this was in Enchanted Kingdom, maybe 11yrs. ago XD

Hello again blog!
I'm so sorry for not posting for a long long time. It's just that I'm so busy at school, and almost having only 2 hours of sleep. It's good that today, 101010, I squeezed a little time for blogging :)

So yesterday was...
Red Cross Youth Competition where almost 9 private schools competed for the first and second place.
There were 4 stations, I got to be the team leader of station 1 and 2. Both ended successfully, and also the 2nd and 2rd Station.

Just before the competition, so tensed XD

I'm the one kneeling near the victim, giving first aid. I was so tensed that I asked some questions to my friends. XDDD

Just before station 3 :)

My teammate giving CPR to the dummy :)

Look at the results, our school was the 3rd. Just 4 points away from going to the District Competition T_T

We went to the supermarket after and played at the arcade. I'm the one wearing a purple bag XD
I played the car thingy, the basketball thingy, and the one that you'll catch the toy :)

And one night, I got so lazy in studying that I took pictures of me and my new hairclip :)

Bye again! Hiatus Mode ON! TT_TT

Swimming with Prominence!

2010-10-03T18:43:00.000+08:00

Hello again blog! There's such a fine weather here, so cold and rainy! LOVE IT!

Ok. I'm gonna talk all about our swimming yesterday and its aftermath. :)

OCT. 2, 2010
Finally! The long-awaited postponed swimming occurred! Ahaha!

Buenas Diaz is the resort. My sister and other schoolmates recommended it to us.

YEHEY! It looks like we own the place you know? It's full of prominence and friends! :)
I didn't took many pictures so other pictures are from Krisha Lyn, Nigel and Joan! :D

PICTURES ARE NOT ARRANGED BY TIME! XDDD

After that, we immediatel went home because there was no water for taking a bath there. Totallt hate that place now. Got home, took a bath, ate an early dinner and slept for 13 hrs.

Aftermath. Darker skin tone, specially the face and arms. and also, headaches, muscle pain and etc. Together with bloody eyes. XD

Sorry for not explaining it much.I still need to rest. :D

Happy 1st BLOGSARRY!

2010-09-28T19:46:00.000+08:00

Wow, I can't believe I would have lasted this long. At first, I made a blog just to experience something new cause I was very curious. I'm so happy I made it this far and I hope that I would get more better and find a bit time in the future to blog my memories.

I find it weird reading my old posts from last year. It's kinda funny. Ahaha. Here's the link: My First Day as a Blogger and A Day Full of Regrets. I'm so happy that I improved, a lot. Thats all thanks to all my blog friends and specially myself :D

Today's very special for me. I don't really know why, but I kinda feel happy and excited. Happy that I made a blog last year and helped me develop my english writing and express my feelings, Excited that I'm still going to continue blogging and stop until the end of time. :)

For that, I wrote a short poem to my blog. :)

Sitting in Front of My Computer

by Rachel Ann Carlos

Sitting in front of the computer

sometimes just before eating dinner

I write my thoughts, my activities

my rants, my memories.

I share with you my journey, my life

In times of trouble, in times of pain

In times of hurt, in times of strife

You'll always be there to make me sane

I share with you my adventures, my story

In times of happiness, in times of cheer

In times of bliss, in times of jolly

You'll always be there to make it dear

I hope this bond will get stronger

I wish this will continue as we get older

I hope in the end we'll be together

I wish the connection in our hearts will stay forever

Thanks to Naira, she helped me with the last line of my poem :)

Anyways, I have 2 more good news.
First, our section WON second place in our school's inter level speech choir.
Second, I was one of the students who were BEST IN POEM WRITING. Ahaha. The one I wrote, Running Out of Hue, was my entry. I really couldn't believe that I won.

I'm so happy today, Sept.28, 2010. One of my most memorable day :)

Un-edited picture of the sky a few hours ago :)

We were asked by our English teacher to make a poem regarding English literature. I chose the theme "My Fear in Speaking English". it was a homework but I totally forgot about it. So I made this one during my ride from home to school in the morning, that's only about 20-25mins.
It's really not good but I'm glad to share it.

Running Out of Hue

(My Fear in Speaking English)

by Rachel Ann M. Carlos

Why can't I speak English?

Because I'm afraid to speak gibberish.

Why can't I speak English?

Because I'm afraid to look like a fish.

Will I still be able to speak English?

To speak the language is my only wish.

I really want to act cool,

Just like speaking English in school.

I really want to be the rule.

But I can't, I sound like a fool.

I don't want to have a thick face like wool,

Yes, the world is so cruel.

I love English, I really do.

Yet it makes my face very blue.

I really don't have any clue,

Why every body tells me 'boo',

Every time I say the true.

I'm afraid I'll run out of hue.

Paglisan

Sorry! This is a tagalog poem!
This is also a homework for our Filipino Subject. I hope you would like it. :)
I forgot when I made this, but it's probably a month old.

Paglisan

by Rachel Ann M. Carlos

Noong una tayo'y nagmamahalan ng lubusan,

Akala ko ito'y walang hangganan.

Mahal ko, huwag mo akong iwan.

Kahit ika'y lumayo, ako'y pupunta,

Ngunit hindi pala ako tama,

Ika'y aalis na pala, wala na akong pag-asa.

Ang aking mahal, huwag ka muna umalis.

Dahil kung ika'y lumisan, hindi ko matitiis.

Na mawala ang iyong piling, kay tamis.

Ano a ang aking ginawa?

Ako ba'y may mali o ika'y sawa?

Tuloy-tuloy ang aking luha parang lawa.

Maaari bang mabalik ang nakaraan?

Noong tayo'y nagmamahalan ng lubusan.

O giliw ko, huwag ka nng lumisan.

Sana maging masaya ka at laging ngumiti,

Spat na sakin 'yan, ang aking tanging mithi,

Paalam na, iyan ang aking huling bati.

My Doubts...

2010-09-09T20:51:00.000+08:00

Hello again world! :)
It's been a long time since I haven't posted a post, which was 6 days ago.
I'll just talk about my rantings and random thoughts for this past week.

Doubtful Questions
Am I really happy?
Am I really contended?
Should I be more serious?
Or should I be more carefree?
Should I be more feminine?
or should I fix my self more frequently?
Should I really lose weight?
What if all of my hard work would be worthless?
What if this is all just a dream?
What if I'm not really good enough?
What if I'm not in the top 5?
Should I feel happy or sad?

Doubtful Answers
Yes. Having quizzes and exam give you many time to doubt on which is correct and wrong.
Almost everyday we have at least 2 quizzes, it make me think, that sometimes the phrase "Trust your first instincts." but you can never depend just on your instincts, you need to study and analyze the question before hand.

Doubtful Friend
I have a friend, let's just call her "Jane" not her true name. I have always trust and believe that what she says is true, but now, having so many connections with other. I seem to doubt Jane. It seems that she tells us fake stories or a story that you really can't say whether it's true or not. e and my 2 other friends notice it too, but we don't wanna cause any trouble cause she is a bit sensitive when it comes to this. We're afraid that we might hurt her if ever we confront, but sometimes it's whats the best right? I really want an opinion from you my dear readers. Should we confront Jane, just go with the flow or just trust her?

My Swollen Eyes

2010-09-03T14:04:00.002+08:00

Hello there blog! It's time to post another post! Haha!

I have 3 topics I would like talk about.

1. WEW! I'm kinda physically better right now!

So basically, I'm feeling better. My coughing lessened, my voice is back, I sneeze only sometimes and less head aches.

2. The Story Behind My Swollen Eyes

Long story short, I cried yesterday because all my books in my locker was drenched by the rain. Basically, it's the school's fault for putting the lockers there, there's a roof but it doesn't have 4 walls, only 2. It's in the corner so strong winds and rain can definitely hit them. I cried because I know that my parent's will be disappointed with me. I know, books and notebooks are expensive. And its really hard to dry and iron them. I'll just find a way to make things normal as it should be. Someone needs to pay in the end.
3. I only slept for 2 hours. I broke my own record!

There was this project supposedly due in Monda but it was moved on Friday. I had to stay up until 3am just to finish drawing and coloring the story book we made. Thanks to my 2hrs of sleep, we were the ones who got high grades. :))

I'll just need to sacrifice a bit more. I need to study, be focused. Pls. pray for me! :)

You can read and comment on any topic that you would like! :)

Such a weird day!

2010-08-30T17:09:00.003+08:00

Hello again world!

Even though I can't literally say it, because my throat hurts everytime I speak, talk,laugh, cough!

Ok. I'm just typing this post maybe after 1or 2 hours after my previous post. Probably because I'm too happy to say that we have a new attachable keyboard and mouse! Ahaha! It's so fun! :)

Uwaah! I'm not yet expert in these types of keyboard, because I mostly used the laptop's keyboard for the past years that I know. XD

I'm just gonna tell something about these past 4 days.

Friday, My Solo Concert

I was elected as the Red Cross Youth(RCY)'s Vice President after we 40 picked students were oriented by Red Cross's Volunteers. The funny part is that I nominated myself, now I'm scared XD

In the night, while answering some of my kumon homeworks, I sang my soul out while listening to my mp3. I also recorded myself, and it doesn't sound good! XD

I think that's the very first reason why I got this sore throat! Xd

Saturday, Our Project Making

In kumon, my teacher said that I'll be having the achievement test next week and we'll be preparing for the review. I kinda new that I'm not yet prepared!

In the afternoon, I went to my bestfriend's house to make our project with Naira and Joan.

As usual, we're not that serious and only made few products. We even had a photoshoot during a break. We used Dins' sister's mac! So cool, you can see the pics in my previous post. In addition, we ate ice cream, and eventually made my throat's condition worse

Sunday, Grace Communion International Church's 8th Anniversary

It was our church's 8th anniversary and we celebrated it in the evening. We had a regular service before and Dance night after. In our service, I was literally going back and forth the restroom because I drank too much water to fulfill my thirst.

We had this "Dance Night!" Where our praise and worship band was the one who prepared for the lighting and sounds effect. There were really lights, disco ball, lasers, colorful lights that filled that evening! So fascinating!

Some also had their intermission dance, more like a mini showtime for us. And we had this churchmate who just came from USA, prepared a dance, a BREAKDANCE! He was so cool! :)

Many were shy at first but eventually danced, like me. I was not feeling well at first, then my friends pulled me to the dance floor and the pain was gone. It was so fun.

I'll just show some pics. Only few have already posts their photos in facebook.

Today(Monday), Such a Weird Day!

Today's my restday from all the stuffs I have done the past week, Thank God that we have a holiday today!

I slept like crazy, did my homeworks, studied for my reporting and declamation, studied for m quizzes and rest.

And in the afternoon, I did m previous post and really had a hard time typing.

PTL! My sister arrived from her mini vacation with our cousin, bringing home 2 boxes of pizza, and a new attachable keyboard and mouse! I was so happy but I couldn't express it like I should, which is to scream and run like crazy.

And now I'm typing here, still coughing and hoping to finish all what I should do :)

P.S. Tomorrow's our school's "Buwan ng Linggo ng Wika" and I'll be wearing a malong, if ever I would go to school tomorrow :)

Harhar.

2010-08-30T14:35:00.003+08:00

Hello again blog! Hello again world!

there are 3 reasons why I am not blogging that much

1. there's something wrong with our keyboard & the a,s,d,f,g & h key are not around :(

I am using copy paste just to type

2. My Sore Throat is getting worse. TT__TT * cough*

3. I still have things to do regarding School.

I'm very sorry, bye for now, i should rest & do my School Stuff.

Just sharing what we did last Saturday.

"And so we made the project.

Of course, having long breaks and eating snacks were not considered as wasting time. And just because we're camwhores, we took pictures of us using Dins' sister's Macbook as our photobooth. :P"

-excerpt from Nairalee's site. (Typing is hard when a,s,d,f,g & h are not around)

My edits. :)

(Cant believe I made this post for 2 hrs.)

Please let me be sad, even just for one day.

Hello again blog! Hello again world!

I'm just here to update a short post. Some of my thoughts and my rants.

After the "Rolando Mendoza Hostage Taking" and Venus Raj's "Major major", all things tend to go smoothly but not in my case. I'm pretty tired and sad right now, I have many reasons, but telling it in one post is not enough. It's pretty much about my physical state, studies and time management. I usually am having troubles with them, and I can't handle it on my own. I know it takes time, just believe in yourself, never give up, never lose hope and always keep the faith.

Here's an inspiring short text message from my friend and church mate, Mia.

If Howard Schultz gave up

after being turned down by banks 242 times,

there would be no Starbucks.

If Walt Disney quit too

soon after his theme park concept

was trashed 302 times,

there would be no Disneyland.

If Thomas Edison, after 9999 failures,

threw his hands and gave up,

there would be no electricity.

And...

If you give up too soon,

you'll never know what you'll be missing your life out.

Playing with Make-up

2010-08-22T07:41:00.006+08:00

Hello again blog! Today I have 3 topics to share with you!

Playing with Make-up

Oh yeah. I was pretty bored last night and saw my sister's make-up. So I locked the door and played with it :))

Advance Happy Birthday Krisha!

Her birthday's on the 23rd but she had a celebration yesterday(21st).

It was so fun to be with her in her bday, so many classmates came too.

The food there were delicious specially the desert, Graham Cake *drools*

Maybe I'll post the pics later if ever she uploaded her digicam pics :)

2Stages1TVXQ

Have you seen it? The trending topic in Twitter? Wahaha! It's all because of the cassies who supported TVXQ yesterday. J-Y-J in A-Nation while HoMin in SM TOWN :))

I'm so sad because I didn't get to trend them because I was in Krisha's house. T_T

But it's ok, I think :D

Look! The red ocean!! :DDD

Hello again world!~

Product of all my hard work..

EXAMS! Gosh, I have pretty low scores comparing to the last top 5 students. I just hope that I'll be in the top 5 of the class or at least the top 5 itself. I know I did good, but it wasn't enough. I still need to do better and great in the next more quarters to go. I wish you'd pray for me! :)

A Good Friday the 13th

2010-08-13T19:03:00.000+08:00

Oh hello again world! Thanks goodness that I can update today! Sorry blog if I haven't updated that much, I'm just so busy in my studies that I procrastinated blogging in awhile.

I don't want to talk about school that much since we're only doing long tests, chapter tests, quizzes and graded recitation this past week. I really feel tired and want to sleep all day, but I can't.

Oh yeah, I cut my own bangs two days ago. That was before I reviewed for chemistry in the night. I don't know why I did it, but it sure was fun. As I said in my facebook, my self-cut bangs: FAIL! >.<

And we just had our exam in Social Studies, Trigonometry and Computer. It was hard, but thanks to studying, I got through it. [I just hope my Social and Trigo Exam will not fail! Wish me luck!]

After our exam, my friends and I went to 7-eleven to buy ice cream! :P We also bought instant noodles for lunch.

Went to my best friend's house and we:

-cooked lunch, which is the noodles we bought form 7 Eleven

-ate lunch of course

-play games in Dins' Ipod Touch

-karaoke

-volleyball and badminton

-ate our snack

-chatted about our childhood memories in school, and gossiped a bit XD

It was fun because I shared it with my dearest friends: Dins, Naira, Joan and Bianca!

I love you guys and I hope our friendschip will get stronger! I hope we will still have time for fun in the future even if we're so busy focusing in our studies! Love you guys, *air hug*

Aslo, my sister's gonna return home from college for the weekend! I actually miss her but I don't want to admit it to myself :P

Think before you speak. :)

2010-08-10T17:15:00.001+08:00

Hello again, bloggers, blogmates, friends, and anyone who's reading this!

It's good that I still can make time for blogging :)

So many things happened today that's related to my blog post title.

"Think before you speak."

1st Case: English Speaking Campus

Our subject teacher in chemistry allowed us to have additional or deduction points in our long test. It's just that if ever someone heard you speak tagalog, your points will be deducted. It's not like I don't want to speak english, it's just awkward when I speak english everytime XD And we have 2 of my classmates who really is just a loud speaker and uses tagalog often, and the points is based upon our rows. So yeah, I'm so unlucky. We had 7 points, since we have 13 tagalog words, we will have 6 deductions in our long test. And I know I will have mistakes in our long test, let's just hope I will get higher than the past scores.

2nd Case: Graded Recitation

We just had our graded recitation in chemistry. I was called about 7th to the last so I know some answers in some question. When I was called, I got so nervous that I talked bluntly. The question was 'gas to liquid', I know the answer, it was condensation. Due to my nervousness, I said evaporation. And out teacher said that she only takes the first word anyone will say. Yay! I answered 1/3, I got 75%. XDDD

3rd Case: We're gonna bake!

Not really baking because our shool only has one oven. Annoying right? XD

So we're just gonna buy a plain chiffon cake, and in school, we're gonna put icing, food decors and etc.

I volunteered my self without thinking that I should buy the food. I know I'm gonna 'abono' or add some money in the end. XD

It would be more great if we're gonna make cupcakes...

Edited by me using Picnik.com's collage :P

Almost There!

2010-08-08T08:08:00.003+08:00

Oh yeah! Hello again my blog! I miss you! I miss this, typing, my hands just move with the beat of my thoughts. I love it!~

I'm so sorry if I haven't updated very much! It's just that I'm super busy with my school projects and lectures, also my kumon and church. That's why I'm here, just before we go to church and while eating my breakfast, I'm gonna write a blog post for now :)

I really don't have so many things going on in my life. I think school is the only thing that I'm centered in. I hate it. I don't want to talk about school, it's making me very annoyed.

I really love the weather nowadays. In the morning till after noon, it's very sunny. After at about 5pm, it rains very hard. I love it!~

But now that I'm writing this post this morning, it's raining. I wanna dance in the rain again someday :)

We just watched yesterday "Hot Tub Time Machine" and "Repo Man". Both were great, but the second is quite of.. disgusting and weird and makes you really think about the future XDDD

I want to watch "Step Up 3" cause I've watched Step Up 1 and 2, both were epic! :)

Also, this maybe the last post of the week. Exams are coming up and I still have many more projects to do. :)

A/N: Today's the Kpop fest in Megamall. I'm so annoyed that they scheduled it today, a sunday. They should schedule it next month so that I can go :(

A/N: Happy Birthday to Ate Mheng! :)

My sister thought me how to collage in picnik. I'll just try it :P

My Super Busy and Happy Weekend!

2010-08-02T17:02:00.004+08:00

hello guys! once again, i'm back! and still not using capital letters because some of the keys in our keyboard is not working! but i'll try my best writing this entry!

SATURDAY...

hell yeah! i woke up past 10am! almost slept more than 8 hours, first record since the opening of classes! i did some homeworks and internet :)

after lunch, it was time to get ready. i did last minute touches for my toe and finger nails, and took a bath. dried up, ironed my hair with the help of my sister, who just came from her kumon completer's test in makati, she got only one mistake, didn't put make-up (because i don't literally have any) and wore my semi-formal dress. it was a bit raining so i didn't pose for a picture.

went to pick up my cousin. went to the venue. and the programme just started! yehey, we weren't late. blah blah blah, it was boring! xd the only fun part one was taking pictures at the photobooth(for the pins) and from a professional photographer also, with my mom. it was fun going to the stage, i wore such a proud smile together with my daddy.

i'll post them next time :)

after that, we bought coffee and chocolate drink from a vending machine. as always, i forgot to blow the first sip and burnt my tongue XD

we went to the mall to eat in Pizza Hut. we bought pizzas, pastas, soup, and my milkshake :P

we played with the left over food as usuals. :P

SUNDAY

yehey! first sunday of the first week of the first day of the month? XD

as usual, we praised and worship, opening prayer, main message, communion, closing prayer and praise and worship again.

we went to eat at Chowking after. i bought the congee goto ang pork and tofu! ;P

@2pm, there was a youth gathering for the GLF's 8th Anniversary. so i'm gonna be very busy every sunday of this month as we celebrate the whole month of august.

we played the activity. our team won the reverse charades! it was fun.

nest is the praise and worship.

the main message by tita beth leyva. (the message was very touching)

praise and worship again.

and snack time! juice and cupcakes for snacks :)

GCI youths together with friends

we arrived home at 7pm. i did my project in social studies but didn't finish them yet because i accidentally fell asleep. i woke up at 3am, did my english project which my sister helped me making the sonnet. and i was late today in school. and haggardly finished the projects :)

YEHEY!

2010-07-29T21:28:00.000+08:00

hello guys!
once again, it's still me, rachel! sorry. i'll not use any capital letters because of this key board which the buttons caps lock, shift and control aren't working!

I'm so happy today!~

YEHEY!
i have gotten just a few minutes ago mine and my bestfriend's TVXQ ballers which costs 100php/each. thanks to sis kim khazy and sis carren for it!

it's written there:
ALWAYS KEEP THE FAITH Cassiopeia ❤ TVXQ

YEHEY!
i finished almost 5 of out 9 projects! 4 more to go!~

this is my TLE project. it's a spice rack which i have designed to be a small shelf for my accessories in home.
our teacher checked it and i got 87%, yeah, pretty low and only few got the highest which is 90% for this first quarter.

YEHEY!
juniors today will have a recollection. since i'm not catholic, i'm gonna be with my non catholic friends and share a room with another section. i know we will not do anything serious tomorrow so it's like my short break.

p.s. Happy Birthday Chica!~ :)

p.s.2 do any of you guys here a poet? i need help in making my sonnet. please comment if you could, thank you!

Unfortunately...

2010-07-27T18:22:00.000+08:00

you'll probably wondering why i'm gonna write without using CAPITAL letters in my blog because

Unfortunately,

my 3 most used buttons; control, shift and caps lock in the left panel are not working. they're dead xd

but the other buttons in the left panel are working, i don't know why, how and what happened but i think i'll just ignore them until we have our new desktop.

it's really hard to use the buttons from the right side because i'm very so i'll not use them XDDD

Unfortunately,
i DID NOT qualify in the volleyball varsity tryouts. i think it's better this way. i can handle my studies first before the other :P

Unfortunately,
i'm gonna wear a skirt in the awarding of our center in kumon. i'll have a gold medal in math because i'm already 2+years advance in math :)

Unfortunately,
i still have 7 more projects to do. it's time to put out an all-nighter. so bye bye for now :)

My Turbulent Mind

2010-07-24T21:32:00.004+08:00

Hello again readers! Sorry if I haven't updated for a while. and I think many didn't noticed XD

So here is my entry...

My Turbulent Mind

Yup. My mind is going crazy this past week. I'm having lots of head aches. I tend to sleep a lot instead of studying. It's like in the morning, something keeps on poking my head then when I go home, it stops and I'll rest and tend to doze off to my dream world. It's not like I want to not sleep, it's just I forgot I have this huge exam or assignment to make. T_T

Postponed Volleyball Tryouts

Me, Joan and Dins (My bestfriends) really like/love volleyball. We play in Intrams and in open P.E.'s, and Joan even trained to be a volleyball player. And we have this Volleyball Tryouts in our school.

Me and my friends are still doubting if we really want to be in the team. It's not like I'm afraid of the tryouts or the persons who are going to try out to, or even the training. It's just I'm afraid of the responsibilities and aftermath IF EVER I'll be accepted. Should I still join? IF EVER, which would I concentrate first? Studies? Volleyball? Blogging? Family? Kumon? Church? This is just confusing, I want an advice. Can you guys help me out?

I think it will be re-scheduled in Monday.

TVXQ Ballers

Yehey! I'm gonna have it na! Sis Kazhy is so kind that she will go to SM Val (a mall near our house) just to let me receive it in Tuesday which I ordered online! I totally love her!~

Anyway, I haven't gotten my other baller from Omonaworld. Since our schedules always clash or she has schedules so far from our house that my parents would reject my permission, I'm really having a hard time what to do to just get it. T_T

Movies...

I have watched so many movies this week that I don't want to comment on them, I'll just say the title; "I love you too Phillip Morris", "Back-up Plan", "The Killers", "The Last Airbender", "Knight and Day" and many more!

Also, The Simpsons (I know which season but more likely the recent ones). And I haven't watched the season 7 of SCRUBS :( I miss Zach Braff!

My so called "Artworks"

if it's even called art! XD

*Didn't edit them. Just added my signature ;)

I love the focus!~ :)

*Edited a bit ;)

I love the colors!~

*Didn't edit these also :)

My Drawing!~
