Hello !

You might all be wondering why there's no new post :) Well I'm not even sure if anybody reads this haha !

But anyways, this might be my last post here since I'm moving out to my new blog. Here: http://littleemina.tk

I'm gonna miss this blog, it served me for about 3 years :)

make sure to pay me a visit !
See ya there !

I think I'm fallin for you

2009-09-15T21:34:00.002+08:00

I think I'm fallin' for Colbie's new album :P especially her "Never let you go" deluxe version song which is my new background song. =)

How's everybody ? my time management goal seems to be taking it step-by-step.. but it's taking so slow.. Still late for classes, but gladly wakes up and works things up faster than before ^O^..

Anyway, 2 of my fave hobbies has taken the next level: business. I introduced my beadworking and metalworking at school and some took interest in buying it :D ! Making beaded bags and beaded metal bookmarks are now my thing during breaktimes :).. pics soon.

Here's my newest vid:

Biggest challenge

2009-08-15T08:06:00.005+08:00

what's your biggest challenge so far ?

mine, that is,

TIME MANAGEMENT

not just at school, but at everything I do. I admit, I'm not a very time-conscious person, which makes me late for 7:00 morning classes =,=.. Yet I've always wondered why my high school classmates tell me that I can do a lot of stuff in a day -- which up till now, I don't have a concrete answer. Maybe it's about "multi-tasking". I always do that. But these days, multi-tasking and time management don't jive they way they did in high school :(...

Just when you thought you've finished a puzzle, another one comes out =,=...

....school, church, personal Bible study, family, friends, piano, art and blogging...

I've prayed for help, and now it's time for me to put it together and do some action :D !

My 2nd month

2009-07-23T20:36:00.007+08:00

The first day was silent, the next day blue. The next thing we knew, section 1-1 of BSN (Bachelor of Science in Nursing) was full of bees laughing its heart out.

It's my second month in this institution, DSLHSI Dasma. So far, I've overcome the pessimism of being invisible in class. I finally knew my classmates, and they knew who I am, which is a good thing ;P. And with regards to BSN 11 as a whole, we're a crowd full of different people yet somehow, united in some ways =)

Woot ! Preliminary exams just swept past this week. And boy, that was fast. It's like, you're still absorbing what you've just learned when suddenly, it's your major exam ! That's what I noticed in college. Time flies so fast, even faster than what high school calls "fast". Here, it's hard to find time for slacking off. Unless you really want to :p. But, nah, better be safe than sorry.

For the first time, I felt...

2009-06-24T10:41:00.004+08:00

both nervous and excited at the same time.
College just ticked off for me last week. I wasn't the "transfer" type, so I never really knew what to feel or expect. But anyway, there I was, facing the new challenge ahead of me, summing up all my might not to faint or fall back. It's hard you know, most of them already had their cliques or barkadas for that matter. Others already knew each other from high school. That's quite fortunate, at least they wouldn't sit alone at lunch. But I did knew someone from our class - Chester. She was my classmate when I was in grade 4, but we're not that close.
anxiousness.
How can they pick up that fast? How can they just knew each other today and talk with each other so freely? I guess that's the miracle of meeting and making new friends. AND one of my weakness. My friends may not know it, but I'm really the shy, taciturn type when it comes to a new environment. I can really go out all day saying nothing - yep, nothing...the opposite of what I can be when I'm with my old friends. I admit, I was kinda raised inside a box... not wanting to go outside and beyond. Furthermore, I grew in a school where everybody knew who I was, and how to please me so easily. I regretted underestimating my 4 years with them ;(..
the fear of reality.
When the first day ended in a blur, I realized, and remembered, for the first time, what my teachers always told us. "In college, you'll meet reality." The words keep echoing in my head louder and louder, like a megaphone. I hated myself for ignoring them =(.. I knew it was gonna happen, but I regretted for not taking them seriously. In college, I saw a lot of multi-colored people. Here, "so what?" and "who cares?" dominates. People would not always agree with you. People can do whatever they want. I saw people in groups - twos, threes, fours, and bigger, just like in high school. But what made me think is that I saw students walking alone. Definitely different. I remember a new friend of mine asked a 2nd year student why she's alone studying during break. She said she's not friendly much, but she does have friends. It's just that sometimes, you have to do things alone, like serious studying. College really is a different kind of reality... and you're on your own to make your way out.
like a black and white portion amidst the colored ones of the picture.
I seriously felt that when I got called two times in front to do an example of the activity, only to be embarrassed because I didn't do it right >.< ... And at that same time, I heard that one of my newest friends were to be exchanged, moved rather, to a another section [we were too many]. Of all the people, why her? *sigh*...Just when I was getting the hang of it.
getting the hang of it.
I decided to move to a much brighter side, since I appear to be so pessimistic on my earlier paragraphs. I knew I wasn't going anywhere if I would just sit and wait for someone to talk to me. So I remained smiling, friendly at all possible costs, and saying "hi" whenever I got a new seatmate in each class. In the next few days, I finally had someone to be with. They were fun, and so cheery that I'd almost forget why I'm worried. Two of them knew each other in high school, the other made friends with them easily. Me? a newbie ;p.. I listened to them on the most parts...since I really don't have anything to share that's worth sharing at the moment. But as I gradually observed their behavior, what they like and don't like, their initial reactions and stuff, I could finally make a comment that wouldn't offend the mood of making a new friendship. Soon I realized, it wasn't just them that's cheery, but the whole class was. We had a "tambayan".. They shared their thoughts, laughter, worries, cameras, and even their cellphone numbers - the things a typical teenage group would do during bonding moments. I'm finally lighting up and getting the hang of it. I'm more that grateful to Jehovah God for helping me get through this :).. He's a good friend :)
SICK.
Yep, sick with FLU.. I don't exactly remember when's the last time I got sick, err, maybe during 2nd year high ?.. But that was like, a fever for two or three days, then you're ready to kick off again ;p.. This one's different, way different. Last Saturday, I had a headache first thing in the morning, which made me lose my appetite. Then I suddenly felt hot. I knew this was a fever, so I took medicine. I quickly tried to remember what I'd do when I was sick before, and followed mom/doctor's guidelines: drink LOTS of fluids, take medicine, REST, observe. I did so, and by the time she got home my temperature was still rising... The next day, I was a bit better - with my temp going down to normal. But I still got headache.. Again, I lost appetite, but my body needs food and medication so I ate breakfast and had medicine. Then that's where it began. I felt nauseous and went straight to the comfort room. Sure enough, I vomitted T.T - a thing I definitely hated the most. All the eggs and hotdogs along with my medicine came rushing out like an inedible mixture - all gone. By the end of the day, I was getting better, I hope, and went to school the next day. In school, I realized it's not just me who's having this flu. Most of my classmates are. We feared it might be and desperately hoping it isn't, the new Influenza A(H1N1) virus that had attacked Phils this year.. By Tuesday [yesterday], the university announced a suspension of classes due to the a suspected case of that virus. and, to my surprise, one of the suspected students are in our college of Nursing >.<.. But not from our level though.. That was quite a relief.. And I read on Yahoo news that Metro Manila is under low/mild flu outbreak. We're near Manila, and hopefully this flu I'm having is just a normal one like the news said. One factor could be the abrupt change of climate these days. And so I'm staying at home, weak and tired-looking, but trying my best to get well soon.

I decided to quarantine myself for now, letting the virus die out before personally contacting others. I might sound exaggerating, but really, 'tis the first time I felt so weak, just from a flu. I miss the congregation meetings though, the spiritual foods and my Bible study. T.T If only I could hug him, with my sincerest gratitude, I would...

P.S. wow, this wasn't intended to be a long novel ;p.. but then again, writing is my one way of expressing myself :)

Tomorrow is IT

2009-06-14T21:24:00.005+08:00

With the capital I and T.. Iup, my first day of being a college freshie.. How I feel about this ? I honestly can't describe it.. it's a mixture of jitters, butterflies [in my stomach], excitement[?] and everything..

I'm feeling this way because all my life, I've stayed in one school. Yep, in one school - from kindergarten to high school. So, I've never experienced the "I'm new here and I hope to be your friend" kind of thing.. and this will be the first T_T..

Sigh... all in all, I do hope I could get past the first day successfully :D ! and try making new friends...because I'm a taciturn person when it comes to being in a new environment.. ;p

And for those taking their first day of classes as well, whether college or not, I hope you'll find yours successful too :D I'm praying to Jehovah for our journey :)

Another week of vacation ;D !

2009-06-08T22:31:00.002+08:00

Did I say 3 more days ? well, nopesy now ! ^ ^ we're granted with another week of vacation =)

The main reason:

MANILA - The Commission on Higher Education (CHED) announced Saturday that it is moving the opening of classes in colleges and universities to June 15.

"May directive si Chairman [Emmanuel] Angeles in a memo postponing the opening [of classes] in college level from June 8 to June 15 (Chairman Emmanuel Angeles has a directive postponing the opening of classes in college level from June 8 to June 15)," announced Julito Vitriolo, deputy executive director of CHED.

Vitriolo said the influenza A(H1N1) virus is the main reason for the CHED's deferment of opening of classes. He said the department wants to give students, who have travelled abroad, enough time for voluntary self-quarantine.

--ABS-CBN news

Although the reason isn't something to be happy about, it's a good opportunity to further prepare for our first day of being a college student =) ! and an excuse to have more free vacation time :P

Counting the days 'till summer ends.

2009-06-05T10:21:00.005+08:00

How many ? In reality, it's 3 more days T.T... Let's just say that the dawn of June is finally coming and reality is taking its place -- college. I just attended the Freshmen Orientation yesterday and I soon realized that on Monday, I will soon enter a new challenge. I am praying for Jehovah's guidance to help me both in my mental and spiritual studies. I am slowly gaining more knowledge about Him. Yay ! and I've resumed my Bible studies ;).. I would occasionally join the street witnessing with my cousins too. So there, I'm hoping that even though Nursing (my course) is a hard course, I will still be able to find time for the ones I love, including Him.On the other hand, we did some last summer activities that I'd like to share :D !

Bunawan Escapade

Dad and I went to his hometown, Bunawan, Agusan del Sur. The last time I could remember coming here was during my aunt's wedding, when I was abou 9 or 10 yrs old. So yeah, it's been a while. And all of them warmly welcomed me.

More at -Bunawan Escapade-

@ Galleria Hotel

After arriving in NAIA airport from Butuan City, mom fetched us and we went straight to Holiday Inn Galleria, formerly known as Manila Galleria Hotel. It's joint with Robinsons Galleria made last minute shopping a no-traffic-worry :D !

Recital Day

2009-05-21T08:20:00.004+08:00

Goood morning !

weee ! haha, finally. The 2009 Casa Musica summer recital was held last May 17, 2009. I wasn't able to attend last year since I'm out of the country, so this year my teacher ended my summer with me playing in 2 programs o.o ! She also had me play as an accompanist, soloist and duet - primo and secondo.. It's my first, and I'm quite happy with the result even though there were mistakes "=,=...

For PROGRAM 1

Castle on a cloud and Eidleweiss accompaniment

I accompanied 8-year old Danielle while singing the songs from Les Miserables and The Sound of Music =) "480" height="295"

March Militaire op.51 no.1 - duet

Jenny and I played Schubert's duet as the last number for program 1

For PROGRAM 2

Waltz of the flowers - duet

Lorhen and I played Tchaikovsky's piece - simplified version. Lorhen was an old classmate of mine in grade school.. it's great having a duet with her after four years *.*

Dalisay

Meaning "pure" in english, I played F. Buencamino's solo piece with pure intentions.. hehe =p..

There, I do hope you enjoyed my little show for today ^ ^.. You might notice some edited details on the videos.. Yup, I edited them with Sony Vegas.. Still new to this though.. But I'm happy with the result of my new piano cover - Lucky by Ashily from Boys Over Flowers' OST.. I'll show them next time ! ^ ^

Summer Life

This summer has been my "busiest" so far. And yes, the above mentioned are some of the activities that kept me quite busy. Kidding aside, have you guys noticed that my blog layout suddenly crashed ? Or maybe no. But I was shocked when I saw the File not found background. Suddenly it hit me that the image hosting site I used which is hotlinkfiles.com deleted my account due to long absence. Anyway, I think the links are up and working now. I still want to change my layout though T^T..

How's your summer ? Mine's been quite fruitful, I guess. But I still have those post-graduation syndrome - I still miss my buddies..! T^T.. My friend Erika actually arranged a movie day at my house :)), and our class will also have another get-together at Island Cove.. So yeah, we'll still gonna be seeing each other again.

On another account, the musical part of my brain is yet again boosted with inspiration by reading this and other articles:

"Pianists who begin practicing in childhood have been found to have better developed nerve pathways in parts of their brains. Scientists believe this results in better fine motor coordination." - pianostreet.com

Although I don't think it's only applicable to pianists. Read it here. The article inspired me to practice more though I never really started playing when I was a child. I started in the summer of 2005 which makes it about 4 years now :). Wow, it brings back memories. "look at the piece, read your notes" "know your dynamics" "what chord is it supposed to be?" "press louder" and lastly, "learn to RELAX!" ... hahaha, I was the type who gets anxious whenever I press a wrong note =P..

Well, that's all for now folks ! :D I do hope you got something from my endless blabber ;)

PS. for requests, drop me a note on my tagboard. YES, I am finally open for requests.

I need revamping

2009-04-03T18:50:00.008+08:00

Sandy beaches, hot sun bathing, picture taking, long days and short nights. You guessed it, summer's finally here =). But nah, I don't have any "plans" on going to the beach yet.

I think my site needs revamping, as well as my multiply account. But alas, nothing comes to my mind yet. T^T I need inspiration! sigh, I kept thinking about it today that my head hurt. Sad to say, but I'm that kind of person. I don't do things unless I'm in the mood to do them. Although I do love to try and test new things, it's just that doing them half-heartedly proves ineffective for me... So what I did was to go to devART, often my source of inspiration, and looked for pictures with the "summer" feel in them. If you have suggestions I'd love to hear them !

In the meantime, I was assigned to yet another new task from enchantment scans. Tsuki no Shippo vol7 ch43. ^ ^ It's quite cute. I've also been reading shojo mangas and watching anime lately. Some of them inspired me:

La Corda D' Oro ~secondo passo~ 's 1st episode has been released ^^. It boosted my will to play the piano again :D. Unfortunately, La corda fans, we'll have to wait for about 2 months for the next episode T^T. It's scheduled release date is on June 5. sigh...
Kaleido Star season 2 inspires me to get up and loose some weight ! hehe :D ! Although the show sometimes lack realism since some of the moves are like way too impossible, it really entertained me with its balance of funniness and seriousness. I loved it, although I was so hoping for romance to bloom.

Iup, those are my boosted areas right now. But none of them are "layout-art" related =p. I guess I still have to wait then, hehe.

Here's a follow-up on our grad pics [link] I feel kinda sad though, because some of the files corrupted T^T.

Lastly, another piano vid, *finally* :

A Thousand Miles - piano
Enjoy ! *leave comments ha*

Enjoy your summer!

I WILL miss this batch

2009-03-30T16:48:00.004+08:00

I never thought that OUR days would come to an end...

I never thought that we'd PART our ways and maybe, see each other again...

I never thought I'd CRY...

I never thought I'd say GOODBYE...

But I have always thought, yet regrettably ignored, one thing:
TIME only has the "PLAY" button
no PAUSE, no STOP, and definitely no REWIND.

I'm still not ready, but I have to be.

Tidbits before the graduation event

2009-03-27T17:29:00.004+08:00

phew ! it's about 21 hrs before the graduation event !

And I can't, until now, seem to comprehend the fact that tomorrow is indeed our graduation day.. it's too fast ! hehe, but anyway, I'd like to share some tidbits on what we did before the main event :D

TIDBITS:

*Field trip ~! 2.6.'09 more pics [link]

*Star origami - making =D

my two gorgeous violin teachers =D

*Learning to play the violin and the drums.

dine-out =D
*iup, lunch out ! Yummy !

*baby flomil "kid" ~!
I've been laughing while reminiscing my baby moments since last night :p
what do you think ? does it look like me ? :D !
more pics [link]

*Our last high school FAREWELL *tears*
yes, it's our day.. and everyone got emo with matching tears..
everything seemed to flashback that day, and yes, I cried in the end..
more pics [link]

Lastly, a 4-hour practice with Lea at my house this afternoon for our piano-violin presentation tomorrow and new sheets added to my collection at PianoFiles [link]..

So iup, those are some of the tidbits I've prepared.. and no vids for today D: I'm still learning the new handy cam that mom and dad bought so that I could record another piano vid.. But then again, I don't think I can record anything for now.. I kinda got grounded from using any of their gadgets for now..even the camera *huhuuhuhu*.!

hope you enjoyed my tidbits ^ ^

What a bummer...

2009-03-19T18:48:00.003+08:00

BAH.!

sigh... I'm a late-waker [and a slow one]. But on monday I reeeally need to wake up early for our general rehearsal at Taal Vista.. >.< and no one's gonna take me to school since mom and dad are away this week.. I have to wake up early..

and another thing that's a bummer is that my phone's LCD broke today. I'm only seeing "black". huhu, it's ringing, yes. But I can't see anything.

sigh... what a great way to end my day. T^T

A new set of retainers

2009-03-14T16:58:00.003+08:00

Yep! My braces are finally taken out this morning... Soo, it's "buhbye" to those 'lil old brackets that tickled my gums for the last 2 years [or rather, gave me those painstaking nights]. Nevertheless, it's thanks to those that my teeth are in shape now. I'm gonna miss those buddies.

Here's the new set of retainers that were given to me. I'm still getting the hang of it since it's much harder to use than the braces.

It's big burden on my speech.. huhu, some letters are hard to speak. I've taken the braces as a souvenir =P

We're currently in the last days of our high school life. Phew, 4 years has passed without me noticing. It's like all the memories are overflowing that I can't seem to comprehend that fact. And I was honored to play for our graduation song: Follow Your Dream on the piano with Lea as my violinist. And that's one of the reason why we're hectic these last few days...

Let's see, I've also signed up in plurk and flickr. ^ ^ feel free to add me there.

I'll try to post some of our new hobbies in school next time [since we don't have anything to do other than practice all day =P]

An Aching Morning to everyone..!

2009-02-21T10:10:00.003+08:00

yeap, as the title suggests, I do have an aching morning.. =,=

We just had our mass demo project in PE yesterday. It left us all beat up. Basketball, Volleyball, Gymnastics, Taekwondo, Swimming, Arnis, etc. And yes, it's our last project for this year's last semester. All we have left to worry are our exams[next week, or this week, rather], clearances, and graduation practices. ^-^ can't believe I'm finally leaving High School...

anyway, here's another vid:

Her Morning Elegance

2009-02-08T07:42:00.003+08:00

Well good morning guys !!

[good mood ah ;p] it's because I slept well and woke up early [finally], and was able to greet you all..

I just thought of posting a random entry ^-^ ...I was printing my projects in my bro's desktop when I saw him watching this video:

It's cool ne? I bet they had a hard time shooting all those still images.. I find it an art ^^.. It showed how far our imagination can get us when we're dreaming..the girl dancing with the guy, riding the train, swimming under the sea.. ;p

Well that's it for now.. tell me what you think about it ^^

Whatta week !

2009-01-18T20:48:00.006+08:00

I'll be mentioning two events for now ^-^, since I was unable to do so last time.

.:: BAGUIO BLAST ::.

Ok, so I mentioned earlier that I'd post the pics. So here it is ^-^ [link]. We went to Baguio last Jan. 9-11. The persons included in this trip: me, mom, dad, Alkim, Jackie, aunt Leah, uncle Vijay, ate Jake, ate Gay, aunt Joy and uncle Rally. phew, that's 11 tops. But then we won't suit inside the van so we hired a much bigger van, a toyota grandia one, with a driver: kuya Bobby, which [funny though], also became our national photographer. =p hehe.

First day, Friday. [I had to be absent from school, which makes it hard for me to cope up with the assignments =,=]

Now for our first stop: Subic =D.

Pic taking at Subic.

2nd stop: Tarlac.

Lunch out at Dencio's, Luisita Plaza.

We went through N-LEX, which is now a nice road compared to before. We also used SCTEX to shorten the time. This road resembles the one in Orlando, with curves and big highways.

3rd stop: Baguio ~!

At the Lion's place on the way to Baguio.

We first checked in at Hotel Veniz. Mom chose this hotel because it's in the heart of the city. So you can easily move about since the malls and the Burnham park is at it's front. I was also able to do my photoshoot for my devA =))

Dinner at Rose Bowl.

2nd day, Saturday.

at the Strawberry farm!
This is actually a demonstration farm for the tourists.

Tam-Awan Village.
They house some of the native's homes. We aslo got our sketches there.

Lourdes Grotto.
It's a looong walk, err, climb upstairs. We had to climb 252 steps to get to the top.

Lunch at Gerry's Grill, SM Baguio.
It's even colder at the topmost floor of the mall.. brrr. =,=

Botanical Garden.
It's not actually part of the itinerary. We just stopped by and took a pic or two. :p

The Mansion at Wright Park.
It's the official rest-house of the president here in Baguio.

Mines View Park.
Yeah, it's the 'lil old mines. But with all that shops and stuffs set up, we'd totally say, "Where's the mine's view ? =(" It kinda lost its beauty.

PMA. Philippine Military Academy.
Yup, there's the soldier ! =)).

Camp John Hay.
We stopped by at the outlets. I was really tired at that time so I didn't move around much.

3rd day, Sunday.

Lunch at Isdaan, Tarlac.
Their cuisine is really delicious, added with the total atmosphere and the ambiance of the resto. This is also the place where they throw plates and stuffs at the walls =p.

I think that's the last of it for the whole trip. =) Next stop: Home Sweet Home... My relatives then went back to their homes the next day as well. And all is back to normal, including school ~,~.

.::ROVER MOOT::.

I wasn't supposed to be in this camping trip, but then I need the certificate so that I would graduate. And so my presence was needed there =,=. It's tough, considering it's my very, very first time, to be out on the great outdoors, to sleep without a comfy bed, to clean myself without a nice warm bath, and to take myself away from civilization.. hehe =p

But then again, I was there. haha, and I never expected it to be fun ^-^. The camp lasted for 3 days, from Jan. 15-17, but was supposedly planned to be until 18. The place was in Freedom Ville subd., Bucana Sasahan, Naic Cavite. It's by the seashore, so yeah, it's cold out there. It wasn't rare to see people wearing jackets =).

here's the pics [link]
1st day, Thursday.

The camping site.
It's by the seashore. Lot of sands, with the, err, browny beach =,= hehe.
We set up the camp right away.

mayday, mayday, we need water..!
yes, the school has provided us with clean water for drinking, as well as a cook for our food [which makes us different from the rest =,=], but not the water for cleansing. Thus, there's the firetruck to provide it for us. But it's not always there [>...<]

Team building activities.
This wasn't any ordinary camping trip. We had activities that has corresponding awards as well.

Free time for Photoshoot.
We had some free time to clean ourselves, to eat, and to take pics ^-^.

Night Activity, Mr. Rover and Ms. Roverette.
Each school showed talents, as well as the pageant; Lea and Jerome as representatives.

That ended the 1st day's activites. We slept at about 12am. But it was really hard getting sleep since I had a runny nose. So I slept at about 12-2am, then 3-5am. phew, just 5hrs =,,=..

2nd day, Friday.

Learn-A-Trade.
We made either a bracelet or a voodoo doll as our souvenir.

First-aid/Safety Preparedness.
Our victim, Lea, was hidden in the trees with a lot of injuries. We had to make sure to bring her back alive. hehe..

The Guessing Game.
We need to guess the whole picture: the placements of materials. Our look-outs and runners: AC, Paul, Px, and Kenneth will tell it us by answering our questions with YES or NO.

Night Activity, Bonfire and acting.
Each school will present a skit/act about "Creating a better world".

2nd day ended.. yes! 2 days down, 1 to go ^-^. We slept at about 12am. But I didn't had any troubles with sleeping now. I slept so soundly that Lea had trouble waking me up =p.

3rd day, Saturday.

Games/Sports.
We had Beach volleyball, Standing Long Jump and Water war. After that, we had Water Safety. Wherein 10 persons from a school will race to the browny sea.

The almost never-ending Hiking.
There were signs, there were scouts, and there were us to do the walking. waaah, this was a tough one since we had to walk throughout the whole barangay [>..<] It made some of us sick. We walked for about 3 hrs.

Last but not the least, the Awarding night.
This was the last activity that we participated. Before this activity, we already decamped and put our baggage inside the school buses. We won 13 trophies plus 1 trophy of participation which makes it 14~! ^-^ A last look at the site and photoshoot with the team and we've headed home.

It was fun guys ^-^. Hope you like this summary of our trip. We arrived at the school at about 8pm. Dad fetched me along with MJ and we're home sweet home.

------><------ here's something for you guys ^-^

Esme's Favorite - piano

This was requested by my classmate, RX ^-^

That was quite long, haha. Anyway, this ends my entry.
Farvel, EminA

Quick brake.. =D

2009-01-11T16:01:00.000+08:00

nyahah, we just came back from road tripping Baguio ^-^ !

Actually, we had other side trips on the way.. hehe

It was sooo tiring.. The place is, as usual, cold !

I'll be posting the pics soon.. but not now.. I need sleep haha ^-^

Farvel, 2008

2008-12-31T20:30:00.000+08:00

yep, 2008 is coming to an end.. =,= and I for one could not believe that tomorrow IS actually, 2009. Time flies so fast. I suddenly thought of all the memories that I've collected during my stay in the year...How I found new friends, met old ones, strengthened my spirituality, discovered myself, my weaknesses, strengths, art, abilities and capabilities. I could not deny the fact that all of you guys are part of this discovery..! Thank you guys!

No, we do not celebrate the New Year. Yep, I'm part of the Jehovah's Witnesses. Which is also why I'm not greeting everybody about New Year. Nevertheless, we respect other people's beliefs. =]..

anyway.. more update ^-^

--last last week, my comp went CRASH LANDING. sigh.. I actually knew that it's gonna crash but just ignored it ]=. the virus Brontok is making a major comeback and is the reason [I partly think it is] that my comp crashed. Good thing I have my assignments [scanlations] and projects [school] in my flash disk for back-up. sigh.. Although it's been reformatted and restored to it's baby state, it's still showing signs of 'no good'. So now I'm using mom's laptop for a while, unless the comp's in a 'good' state =p.

--do some of you watch Nodame Cantabile ? yep it's a nice anime AND drama, with both of the seasons finished. It came from the manga that is still ongoing. I just finished the paris-hen season and it was nice, although the drama has more details than that of the anime.

It's about classical music lovers who pursued music in college and later, in the job field music. The boy protagonist Chiaki knows his goal, becoming a conductor in orchestras while the girl protagonist, Nodame, is quite the opposite :p. She just wants to play the piano for fun despite the fact that Chiaki and the other teachers saw the potential in her. Later, she wants to practice just to be with Chiaki in the orchestra...This is one of the animes that inspired me to continue my piano-playing..

next is Skip beat!, a manga which revolves around a simple Kyouko Megumi who followed her love Sho Fuwa on his dream to be a superstar. After discovering that Sho is unfaithful to her, she moves her way on to showbiz to defeat him and meets Tsuruga Ren along the way.. Basically, it's a love triangle in any angle ;p.. It also has an anime adaptation now, but I'm enjoying the manga more. I just found out a while ago that it's gonna have a Taiwanese drama adaptation entitled Extravagant Challeenge starring Ariel Lin [Kyouko], Jerry Yan[Ren], and [if he accepts, who knows hehe] Joe Cheng[Sho].

then comes Earl and fairy, from light novel to anime =D and, I don't know if it's me, but Edgar really looks like Tamaki from Ouran High School Host Club..! I also like Lydia's features, having green eyes and curly hair altogether. Well, those are some of the animes I kinda liked this time.. =] Hmm, I'm kinda into [the mood] reviewing some of the animes which I do not usually do hehe.

--moving on, New pics and art at my DeviantART ! =D

--yeah, my projs and assignments :p

Algebra problem set.
Calculus research
Comp - Calculator program =,=
Fil - summary of the book and visual aid for our report.
Miniature camping site
first aid or caregiving skit
Reaction about Power Rangers [hehehe]
Aozora Pop Vol. 2 Chap. 6 scanlation edited.
Room 'winter' cleaning.. [partly finished hehe],

--and lastly, Ni Yao De Ai -piano by me ^^ if you remember Meteor Garden, it's their theme song. I know it's kinda late for this, but my classmate Monique loved this and it became to be one of the reasons why she started to love and play the violin. Then she requested this piece to be played.

--Comments are appreciated =D

I've now come to the end of my "year-end entry".. Thank you for reading this. May you have a wonderful evening! ^-^

Farvel, EminA

Something's changed =D

2008-12-16T19:28:00.008+08:00

yay..! :D Since you're reading this now, you probably knew what has changed ^ ^..

My last layout was updated since....I can't really remember :p.. But now I finally had time to change it despite the brain-nacking html, css and script codes O.o! But yeah, I'm happy that I finished it, added with inspiration from nanaoo and cloud-room.. It's my first time using my own navi-layout =D ! And I wanna know what you think about it.. ^ ^ comment me on the comments link located after the entry. Thanks.!

Also, the exits section changed due to many bloglinks @_@ I had to put them in alpha order so it'll look more neat. New layout also calls for new layout song: Michi ~ to you all =one of Naruto Shippudden's ED.

I'm also adding a new portfolio section where I can put all my works plus link accounts =D.
Here's another vid. hope you like it..! :D It's "River flows in you" by Yiruma. Requested by my classmates.

'Till next time.. =D
Farvel!

SLEEP..! o.O is that love ? or is it a must ?? hahaas.

hais.. yeah haha, I need sleep.. But I've got another problem.. My pc's going crazy T_T.. I mean, when I hit the On button, it starts but the screen doesn't show anything.. I mean, it's as if it's lagging.. After pressing the restart button a few times, it's on! phew.. BUT.. waaa, after a few minutes of using it, it's lagged again! So I have to restart it.. Then it makes a weird sound [I gotten used to it now.] then everything's up and working again... O.o so weird.. Can you help me with it ? =((hai.. But anyway, I'm still keeping up with everything hehe. Life's hard for a graduating student like me,,.. but I guess, not just me, but everyone is. But I'm not quite bothered because I know that God's there for us ^-^. So God bless all =D.

2008-10-31T14:52:00.007+08:00

Byebye, my old CP..

So don't let others turn you down. Be positive ^-^! And with that guys, I was planning to make more brushes. But I've been stuck here without ideas.. >..< So if anybody out there has one, I'd be more than happy to know your suggestion., hehes.

uwaaah, finally, the piano tuner came this morning ! And my piano is finally tuned up and ready =D.. huway,, I remember having a hard time pressing those lower C's and B's because their jack couldn't make it :p.

As well as the videos I want to upload.

Not only that., I've got a lot of DEMANDS lately:

1. photo gallery for our school paper.
2. pictures for every article, and photo section.
3. edit edit edit.
4. assignments.
5. sketch of Italy's costume [ apparently we already had one, but it was with my classmate's mom. I do hope she could get it. . As for my mistake, I scanned it but couldn't find the file in my bro's laptop. waaa. ]
6. organize my DESKTOP. wah.
7. I want a new desktop wallpaper. I actually started it.. but it must wait for a while. haii
8. lastly, RELAX. yeah. despite these demands, I have to be relaxed and be happy !

gud night guys !

PS. I can't believe I actually wrote this despite the hectic sched :p

Recital

2008-09-30T17:50:00.003+08:00

Hey !

Last Sept. 28, I attended and participated in the Post Centennial Piano Recital in St. Scholastica’s College. We went out early because we also had to take dad to NAIA 3 for his flight to Butuan City. After that, mom and I went to MOA.

We were actually there for lunch, but it took us about half-an-hour roaming around. Mom was looking for Racks restaurant. We didn’t know that the resto was just around the corner, and we kept missing it :)).

Now, that’s one of the reasons why we were late for the recital. The other one was that it was also the day of the bar exams for lawyers in La Salle. Hahas, the exam barristers nationwide caused a lot of traffic. Pianist number 3 was already playing when I came in St. Cecilia’s hall. So I went backstage ‘cause I’m number 12. phew made it on time. Hehes.I'm on program 2, 1.30pm.

I played “Pobreng Alindahaw”.

Journalism seminar | Career Talk | La Salle Amcat

2008-09-22T21:34:00.000+08:00

Hey! Since I don't have enough time, I think I'm gonna right all of the happenings mentioned in one entry. hehes.

JOURNALISM SEMINAR

Last Sept. 17, the Montessorian staff underwent Journalism seminar at the Conference room. It was led by Ms Calixto, our adviser, who as also one of our speakers. The seminar consisted mainly the overview of Journalism. We discussed the Lead and how to make it, sections of a School paper, how the press works for the society, and the responsibilities of each position in the staff.

To break the monotony of silence, there were activities prepared for us.

Being a photography editor wasn't easy, you know. Me and my co-photographer have a lot of demanding tasks and picture taking in school - whether there's an event or not. Then I have to edit those pics and give it a nice caption. hais.

CAREER TALK

Last Sept 19, a career talk was held at our classroom - IV - Einstein. Different representatives of colleges and universities went to our school to promote their school [or to encourage us to apply for their school].

NCST [National College of Science and Technology], Informatics, FEU [Far Eastern University], Colegio de San Juan de Letran, UST [University of Santo Tomas] and Mapua.

I liked their presentations, hehes. Especially Mapua's. I'd like to try their Multimedia Arts and Science. hehes.

Busy.. :p

Mapua seminar

LA SALLE AMCAT

Hais. Finally ! Last Sept 21, I finally had my AMCAT at la salle. I was surprised when I saw Medical Technology as a course offered. I never knew La Salle Dasma had one. I told mom about it, and she said, "I see, so that's why Mr Gurango told me once that he was invited to become a professor/speaker there for Med Tech. Maybe they'll implement the course next year". -Jay! Maybe you were right, and if you'll push your dream course through, you might be the 1st ones to get it in Dasma. -

That's it for today guys.! Goodnyt !

2008-08-28T19:13:00.002+08:00

Ours was Sabayang pagbigkas seasoned with songs, acts, and play. =D I'm quite HAPPY to say that ours went out well [the two groups of einstein], and our filipino teacher gave all of us a high score. What's more, "Thumbs up!" from madam. .. hehes. The hardwork's worth it.=)

8 MOMENTS for the 8th month August =p

2008-08-21T18:30:00.001+08:00

[EDIT] I changed the title, to make it wittier. I also changed the alignment of pics. =) Also, Cebu pic credits to me. School pic credit goes to me, Joanne, and Cess. Thnx for reading by the way. [/EDIT]

Ewaaaaahhh, my i-net just broke down since I came back from Cebu this Sunday. Haiisss. THAT was the real reason as to why I couldn't respond to your e-mails, requests and stuff.. Although I can still chat on ym and do my research, some sites couldn't respond to my wishes and remained "server not found". I dunno why ? It's not just me, even my fellow ka-smartbros Emjay and Paololy wer experiencing the same prob. =p

But anyway, the filling in part. Since last week, there were some events that occured and were hoping to be posted here but, with my busy sched, wasn't able to. So here they are:

1. I finally had a vacation for 3 straight days !! =P
Heeey, 3 days is already long for students who have to cope up with their studies ! =p. We went to Cebu last Fri, Aug 15 and stayed at Mactan Shangri-la. It was thanks to mom's AACE convention that brought us there ^-^. I swam with the fishes at the beach, remembering their bites 'till now because I fed them and thought that my hands were also breads. =P I, too, had this rare chance of meeting Enchoong Dee and Regine Angeles of Phil's MyGirl at a fashion show held for the doctor's last Saturday Night. =D It was indeed fun ! And worth it for a vacation.

CEBU =D

Mactan Shangri-la

He's really real =))

AT the beach !

view more of them here.

2. Aug 18: NO CLASSES. and on Aug 25: NO CLASSES [too]
Yaaay ! =p hehes.I finally had some ample time to read, review and practice my piano pieces.

3. Appointment as the Photography Editor of The Montessorian '08-'09
hahaahs. Finally. It's one of my fave positions in the world of news. I'm also the Photography Editor last year. Unlike before, they're quite strict with the members now. =)

4. Project COUNTDOWN
yaahhsss.. Projects are finally counting down to zero. hehe, after all that hard work, we can finally, no, rather, rest for quite a while... hehes. There are still some projects: English and Fil.

5. EXAM
yep, it's the dreaded word ''E". It's gonna be a bumpy ride starting tomorrow 'till next week.! hais. The first tri exam day will start tomorrow, then on Tues and Thurs. The NCAE will be on thurs.

6. Foundation Day + Buwan ng Wika = "a week full of rehearsals"
Next week, Fri and Sat will be the event. Haiss. We've been practicing for a week now because we'll take part in the "Sabayang Pagbikas contest". But with the hot weather that can't escape the gym, we're having a really hard time.. =)

7. FUN at school =p

View more pics here.

8. And Lastly, the EX-LINK REQUESTS.
For those who are visiting my blogger, reading this entry and requesting ex-linking with me, I'M SUPER SORRY.. because it will be posted late. I will post it, but just a little late. Promise ! =D I have a hectic sched and can't do it now. Maybe on sept. =D But despite all that, I'm really grateful for your continuous visit =)

Entry can be read either blogger or multi blog =) works either way.
Thnx for reading this. Nytiieee. =)

Pressured August

2008-08-08T18:22:00.000+08:00

ok, so hi again guys :p. If there's one word to describe August, then it would be "Pressure". Not only did the UPCAT came, but all of my days were filled with scheduled tasks. I'm quite surprised that I could still write this tiny blog entry despite the collection of tasks waiting there at my desk :p.

Well, some of those dreadful sched are: UPCAT, long quizzes, pop quizes, 1st tri exam [>..<], not to mention that the NCAE is coming this Aug 27. yep, aug 27, and we have aug 22, 26, and 28 for the 1st tri exams. Then the never-ending assignments, PROJECTS having the same deadline piled up, and haii.., seatworks :p.. Some of those projects: model of conic section and its parts, economic industries and products of the philppines, trail signs, problem set in calculus, fitness collage for PE, 20th and 21st century composers for music, and more. hai. As for the upcoming term exam, I need to review. hai. Oh yeah, I have to practice my piano too because I have an upcoming piano recital next month.

Imagine all of those and so much more squeezed up in one month. hai. It's no wonder I'm having white hairs growing out of my head, hahas. But anyway, we have 2 days off - aug 18 and 25 -no classes ! hehe, and I believe that the reason that I could still smile despite these tasks is becuase Jehovah God gives me guidance =) If not for Him, as well as the presence of my friends and family, I'd be sulking in one corner. =p so ah well, I'm praying for good results of our goals.

hmm, thought I'd share this. that's all. nyt ! =)

UPCAT ? =p

2008-08-03T15:58:00.000+08:00

waahhss, entrance exams are just the thing that every grad student can't escape. =p. Anyway, the UPCAT or University of the Philippines College Admission Test for 2009 was held this weekend, August 2-3. There were 4 batches, 2 in the morning and 2 in the afternoon. I took mine yesterday morning. I even have to wake up at 4am, which I rarely do. hahas.

Well, the assembly started at 6.30am at Gov Camerino Conference Hall [others at Imus Pilot]. But the real exam started at about 7am because of the preparations, instructions, etc. They were very strict with shading >_<. hais. The exam includes English Proficiency, Science, Math, and Redaing comprehension, all done in 5 hours. You'll get so absorbed with those questions that you won't notice the time. I didn't do well with the reading part, because the articles were so long and you're given so little time. And math and science too, those radicals and Hertz were a pain in the neck. >..< hehes. English was good, though there were parts that I got confused, especially the "tagalog" part. The terms were quite deep. hehe.
295 items all in all. =p

haaiss. I'm not really expecting to pass it. But it'll be nice if I did pass =p. Hope everything's gonna be well !

Senior Life =p

2008-07-05T16:04:00.003+08:00

heya =) again, I'm sorry for the late posts due to my Senior-class-adjustment. Being a senior is not as easy as I thought it would be, really.. haay. Moreover, those college entrance exams are turning up rapidly :p

Anyway, our class isn't divided into 2 anymore. 2 classrooms were combined into one, occupying two-thirds of the whole fourth floor. 56 students [or at least it was officially stated "56"] combined in a 20-degree temp classroom would be, well, a mayhem. hahaha.

Concurringly, I'm quite ok with the teachers this year.. [They changed teachers since I was 2nd yr till this year] It's like bringing good memories back when I was in 1st yr - the strategies, the way they teach, etc. I can tell that they really want us to learn :p

Some tidbits I wanna share:
hooray for music class ! They finally gave us music class [there wasn't any last yr].. I'm very fond of music, especially those classical piano type, since I'm a pianist too. Our music teacher is also our physics teacher by the name of Ms. Buenafe. Does it connect ? At first there was hesitation for me whether to aggree with it or not, but well, seeing as that she's a good teach, and has a nice voice with a talent for piano, I finally aggreed :p.

She also gave our first assignment: to have a mini recital. Or maybe you can call it gig. yay! each group must have a musician or two, and some vocals. So in my group, I am the pianist while other plays the guitar. We played "Way back into love" and "It ends tonight". Although the drums are quite loud, I still managed to have my piano heard. ;p. It went out satisfactorily well.

Then, I have heard that most of the clubs were disbanded, leaving only the "Montessorian club" and the"SCO club". The 'Monte club' opens its doors once again for new aspiring writers. A lot of my co-members last year encouraged me to join. But I'm still wondering whether I'd join or not, since I'm only a photographer last year. Tell me guys what you think.. =)

And lastly, the "SCO club" is about to open once the voting is done next friday. Again, an invitation came to me. I was an auditor last year, and now they want me for the position of the secretary. This position calls a lot of responsibility and time, and I don't want to spend too much time on my clubs because of my hectic schedules. I, too, need space for my family and spiritual development. I also read from an article - "don't divide yourself by joining too many clubs and having a lot of resposiblity if you want to have a balanced school and home time..." So if ever I'm gonna join a club it would be "Monte club". In the end, I turned the invitation down. Although the SCO advisors are against my desicion, [I saw it in their faces] they considered and respected it.

Well, that's it for now.. hehe =) Comments are appreciated

Vacation blurbs

2008-06-21T20:47:00.000+08:00

okay, so..I finally got time to write this up..But I'm trying to make it as short as possible because time is of the essence..(right now hehe). Anyway, this was my first time flying to USA.. So I could only say that before, I see it through my mom's and dad's words (she went there a couple of times already). But now, I'm quite happy that I could see it for myself, through my own eyes..hehe.

Ok, so coming there wasn't as easy as "just rode a plane and landed there", it's more like "riding a plane for 18 hours". Sooo long, isn't it ? Well, yeah, I thanked Jehovah God for not leaving us and for protecting us during the whole journey. =D Our family along with Aunt Joy's family traveled together.

First, we took off for Las Vegas via Vancouver at around 5.10pm in May 10. We arrived at Las Vegas 6.15pm the same day =p. Then from there we took another flight for Orlando at 12am and arrived at 6.45am, May 11. The changing times are due to the time difference they have there. Hay, it was quite uneasy at first, but once you get the hang of it, you'll get used to it =D. Upon arriving in Orlando, we met up with Aunt Lea, her husband Uncle Vijay, their friend tita Letty and her daughter ate Kathleen. We then went to their timeshared condo 'Liki Tiki Village' in Florida and stayed there for about 10 days.

State 1: ORLANDO

Stayed here for 'Disneyland', 'Universal Studios', and 'Seaworld'. Florida is often called the 'Sunshine state' because of its tropical hotness [like phils] or the 'Orange Country' because of its sweet oranges. I enjoyed their coasters with loops and hoops! Like the Hulk, the dueling dragons, Kraken, and Rock'n Roller Coaster. But I have to admit, I was scared to ride those kind of stuffs back in the Phils., but since I'm here, I can't help but to ride one heheeh. Here's some of our pics out there:

IN DISNEYLAND..

We also parted with tita Letty and ate Kathleen because tita needs to go back to MI.

UNIVERSAL STUDIOS AND ISLANDS OF ADVENTURE

SEAWORLD

State 2: MICHIGAN

The place we stayed the most. This is where Aunt Leah and Uncle Vijay lives-Livonia. So we had most of our time staying here, touring around, shopping, and watching movies like 'Indiana Jones 4'.

State 3: VIRGINIA

We visited Uncle Cle and Aunt Annabelle in Chesdin Landing, Chesterville, Virginia. Coming here was pretty fun, and tiring at the same time! We chose to travel by land--that is, by RV [Recreational Van- with bedroom, CR, kitchen, etc.]. It's quite far because we crossed about 5 states! It even took us about a day..! All I did was sleep or hang out on the bed [they can't sleep on it 'cuz their not used to the bumps and stuff on the road.. But I'm used to it since I was 5!] all day, watching the sleepless roads and the never-ending trees =p. We also had a couple of pit stops [for bladder purposes] and prime outlet stops [shopping daw] haha.

Chesdin Landing was a subdivision but I was quite amazed by it..because of the dense trees surrounding each house. You can hardly see your neighbor. It's like the one you see in the Haunted Mansion movie. hahaha, but really, no kidding. =p. Well, each house was quite far apart to begin with. Uncle's love for gardening was clearly visible- his garden was full of 'about to bloom' plants and flowers. It's also packed with bird feeding stations, bird baths and squirrel feeders. It's fun 'cuz you won't get to see the same kind and color of a bird thrice, but different kinds with beautiful colors. We stayed there for about 4 days. We had a reunion with some of my grandfather's sister's sons and daughters and their family, who are now successful in their fields as well.

Coming back to Michigan from Virginia took more time that it did when coming from MI to VA. But with the help of Uncle's GPS, as well as Jehovah God's protection, we still made it back safely at about 2am.

State 4: ILLINOIS

We went to Chicago for an overnight stay at Aunt Joy's sister, . We also met up with Kuya Kenneth and his family, who were once living in the Phils but immigrated here. Their kids who were the silent and shy types before, were now talkative and fluent in speaking English. We didn't stay that long, just visited Adler Planetarium and Shedd Aquarium. But it's a pity we didn't have the chance to visit Sears Tower, just a glimpse of it, because the time was insufficient. We have to go back to MI because we're going to go back to the Phils. And so after packing our things and packing a big box for shipping as well, we flew back home in June 3. But Aunt Joy and her family will be staying there until June 17.

Uwaaah...That was quite long wasn't it? Although I did intended to make it as short as possible. =D It was rather rushed because I have to cope up with another thing that's expected during June: School. haay. And the dreaded word EXAMS are about to come. =,=... And College Entrance Exams are also on the roll. Anyway, the trip was tiring BUT fun ^-^

Hiatus over

2008-06-05T17:33:00.004+08:00

Ayoo!

I had lots of fun out there. Oh yeah, just arrived last tues, june 3 at 4am. But because of the immigration traffic and luggages, etc, we ended up an hour later just to get out of the airport.

There's a lot to talk about..! but not now 'cuz I'm still in "jet lag" mode. :p I kinda got used to their time difference and got continuously drowsed for a couple of days. I get sleepy at an early 8pm and then wakes at about 3am.. whoa..

Not to worry, I'm still gonna post all the memoirs I got back there :). And for those trying to contact me through my Cbox, don't worry dearies, I'll add you up for sure =)..

Since I wouldn't be attending the recital, they ordered me to PRACTICE, PRACTICE, and PRACTICE.. And I made a "mini" recital of my own in front of them with about 5 pieces or so... teehee. =) haaay.. So all I could say is Have a Happy Vacation everyone !

Inkheart !

2008-04-11T17:40:00.002+08:00

yup, it's the fictional work of Cornelia Funke, Inkheart. The story mainly revolves around Meggie Folchart, a 12 year old girl, discovering her hidden and unusual talent of reading aloud and bringing characters from a book to life, which she inherited from his father, Mortimer Folchart. Mo originally did one before but he never told her. He brought Dustfinger, Basta, Capricorn and Gwin to life from the book called "Inkheart"..

His father, Mo, was an avid reader. [just like her ^-^] His job was to clean and repair old books, more like a bookbinder. Life for her was simple except for the fact that she longs to see her mother. Whenever she asks about her, his father usually changes the subject. [suspicious...] Her life changes drastically when she discovers her unusual gift, which leads her to her parent's past...and maybe even telling her of her long-lost mother...

That's all I can tell.. No more spoilers. I've read the book last year:

Here's the fun part, a movie based on the book will be released on January 30, 2009. ^-^

Eliza Bennett - Meggie
Brendan Fraser - Mo, a bookbinder.
Paul Bettany - Dustfinger, a fire-eater.
Rafi Gavron - Farid, the Arabian boy, who came out of the book 1001 Nights.
Jim Broadbent - Fenoglio, the author of Inkheart.
Helen Mirren - Elinor Loredan, Meggie's bookworm aunt.
Andy Serkis - Capricorn, the villain.
Sienna Guillory - Resa.
Jamie Foreman - Basta, a knife-lover and Capricorn's right hand servant.

Iain Softley will direct the film.

But still, I recommend that you read the book first... Because I feel a lot of alterations and deleted scenes in the movie.

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

oh yeah, we just started our upcat review. 'Twas quite HARD really.. I can't imagine they have those kind of questions. =( I really need to study...

Summer's Call ! ^-^

2008-04-03T14:44:00.005+08:00

Summer's finally here ! So how are you doing with your vacation ?

Me ? Basically, I stayed at home... haha, it's kinda funny because I always refuse to go with others when they're going out EVEN if I do want to go.
I just feel like, well, staying at home. Besides, Dad gave me these summer work [quite many actually]. It's about writing the names of the parties and witnesses in the notarial books.

I also watched animes, read mangas and HP book, updated profiles, work out! [say NO to so much food..haha], and do things that a normal person would on vacation holidays.

As for my piano lessons, it didn't cease. I just continued having them during the weekend. But since it's vacation [and NO classes], I can have them during weekdays, too. T and TH 9am. ^-^

But I couldn't attend the RECITAL this year :( *lip curls and frowns* .. Because I wouldn't be around on the whole month of May, that is, I'll be visiting my relatives in US. But even though I wouldn't attend this year, US is still worth visiting, isn't it ? Nothing beats an out-of-country adventure! haha!

Another thing comes up, UPCAT REVIEW... Well, it's another chapter in my Vacation '08 life. The session will start on April 8, MWF, 8am-12pm, until May 10 - which, is the day we will be heading to the airport *beams*. This review will help me for my upcoming college entrance examinations. Talk about how fast time runs.. :p

What I'm onto right now:
I'm currently in the process of layout editing.. So that I could make a layout on my own, teehee.
I updated my playlist : "a.new.world.^-^" I like changes, hope you like it !
Anime Watcha'roo!

School...Farewell ! Vacation..Welcome !

2008-03-16T17:20:00.003+08:00

haha ! Classes are finally over !... Now I can rest for a bit. why "bit"? Well, that's because, the UPCAT Review is still waiting there in April.

So anyway, FAREWELL ! to all that brain-knacking assignments, projects, deadlines, etc. But still, I'm gonna miss that class,, III-Mendeleev '07-'08. The Wackiest class in a different kind of way. It's also the Funniest class.. haay.

We also had our Farewell gathering last March 12 at Parkplace clubhouse. Here are some pics..

what's up ?

got nothin' to do..

are wa nanda ? [what's that.?]

Let's play UNO !

Smile !

Those are some of the pics that we have. ^.^ To those who are having their vacation out there, Have fun !

Blog Layout Update

2008-03-04T20:45:00.005+08:00

hi ^ ^ I finally had time to update my blog LAYOUT. =P
Just this weekend, the thought of having a new layout came into my brain and I started searching inside the hard disk of my computer. Here it was, one of my favorite Coruscating. I downloaded it from Komettails, uhm., maybe a year ago ? I can't really remember. But it was my fave =p

This layout features one of the characters in Sister Princess. Well, that's all. Gotta go.

" How fast can you type ? "

2008-03-02T19:36:00.004+08:00

whoa.. I found this site from one of ate nancy's taggies..

67 words

You type 370 characters per minute
You have 67 correct words and
you have 1 wrong word.

It's quite fun and I bet you'll like it as well. It's useful and you'll even know how many characters you can type per minute. ^ ^ Try it.

EminA signing out ...

Wooot ! Exams finished !

2008-03-01T20:41:00.000+08:00

yeeeeey !!! We're finally done with our final exams !! ^ ^ Two weeks to go and we're on our way to our vacation. At last =P

During the exams ? I got some mistakes but everything's just average.. Am back to the real world =p. wahehe

PTGP Piano Festival

2008-02-25T12:25:00.004+08:00

I participated in the Recital yesterday...! First, mom and I took dad to the airport and off we go to the Philamlife Auditorium in UN Ave., Manila to attend the PTGP* Piano Festival. It has 10 programs, divided into two. I was on program 2: Feb 24. Programs 6-10 will be held on March 2.
This program was held annually and it's my second time. This year's theme is "Musikang Pilipino". So most of the songs, but not all, were Filipino songs just like mine.

"Pobreng Alindahaw"

3-minute song =P number 20 on the list.

Final Pic >..<

Although I'm having goose bumps, I still finished the song right. After the program, we ate lunch and went home.

*PTGP - Piano Teacher's Guild of the Philippines.

RuBik'S Cube ?!

2008-02-25T11:35:00.002+08:00

The Cube ^ ^

I'm not really sure. But ever since I brought our 3x3x3 Rubik's cube last last week, or the first week of Feb, everyone in the class seems to be interested in it =P.. I tried looking through the internet for clues or tutorials on how to solve it. And yup ! Through these techniques, I can now solve a cube on my own. I started with the colored ones. Then on to the pictured ones. The cubes with pictures is quite confusing, really. Because there are cases in which the pic is upside down or sometimes lopsided.

Pao's Cube

Then some of my classmates wanted to learn how to solve it too. So imagine your seat surrounded with 5 or more persons holding unsolved Rubik's cube and sitting in Indian form. All of them asking different questions at once. Now that's what happened to me., kinda. 'Twas hard, teaching. >....<

Ok guys, you can do it =P

Rubic's Corner ?!

Ok. So most of them finally learned how. Last Saturday afternoon, Ate Ann came. She bought a 5x5x5 Rubik's cube, or commonly known as the Professor's cube. She managed to solve the first face, but then the other faces were just as confusing as ever. So I looked for clues and tried to figure it out. It was so intriguing that I can't sleep early because of it :p! And yep, I finally finished it now. hehe

Yey, the Professor's cube =P

Project mania

2008-02-16T11:02:00.003+08:00

wah. hello again guys.

Time-consuming projects again.

This time, we need to make a website about the school. Well, not actually a real website. Just the layout. hay,. and then Noli Me Tangere summaries. Both having the deadline on Monday. Hay hay hay.

Moreover, final exams gets nearer and nearer, NEXT NEXT WEEK... ! wahhh..... and then the piano festival this year which I will participate in is on feb 24., rather, next week. haaaay.

So little time. hmmm. Well anyway, I'm sure I'll catch up with these activities. I just hope that I'll be fine. hehe

Oh yeah, I finally found "War and Peace" book by Leo Tolstoy. Our English teacher gave me the title of this book for my book report last month. Since finding the book wasn't easy, I just used summaries from the internet as my reference.

Tagging ^ ^

2008-02-13T18:51:00.005+08:00

Hi ! Super late update here because there's a lot of uncrossed to-do-jobs in my list. hay.

Anyway, I received this award the other day :p from Kat.

hehe, thanks kat ^ ^.

Now I'm passing this tag to: Ate Cecil, Kuya Japboy, and Axe l.

2008-02-01T19:45:00.000+08:00

Sorry for the "super" late update. Anyway, here are the pics we got from our outing in Tagaytay:

Group pic !

Sleepy ?

"takaw" mode at Max's

whoa....

whose feet are those ? =P

Last one !

=P these are some of the pics we had during our outing last December 21, 2007.
I would like to give thanks to those who lend their cameras for pic taking:
Kat, Janelle, Erika, and me.

January, here we come !

2008-01-12T18:54:00.000+08:00

ok ok ! *breath in, breath out*

2008 recently entered our lives. I wonder what'll happen this year. haay.

So we just started school [again] last Jan 7. Guess what, a bunch of school works were waiting for us. As always. I'm also having a hard time with my cough, but still getting through it. I've become quite attached to the scriptures and the piano lately, too. ^^ So I guess that's all for now. bye ^^

Friday Practice.

2008-01-04T08:35:00.000+08:00

At around 1pm AC [one of my classmates] picked me up from home and then we went to his house. It took them a hard time locating my house 'cause the information that I gave was insufficient. =P. So anyway, the main reason for coming there was for band practice. Normally they would practice without any pianist [I guess that would be me. >.<]. But this time, their piece, "It ends tonight", needs a pianist. So I was there to help. This is for PX's talent to be presented next week.

AC and I were the first ones to practice, since the others were not yet around. He was using drums while I'm on the piano. I think it was an organ or something, because the keys were divided into half, one on top and one on the bottom...well, you get the picture. So as I was saying, his house was like a maze. =P.

Then Steven and Px came. The ones missing were Kevin and Nevin. Nevin didn't came, and we fetched Kevin from Parkplace. After that we had practice ^^ and a snack break.

I wasn't really good on the piano but still I tried to catch up with them. Then at about 5.30pm, I went home with their driver, kuya Ferdy.

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

Finally, finished fruits basket !

It's quite bitin though. But still, I like it ^.^

Thursday Out.

2008-01-03T21:15:00.000+08:00

hmm.. actually one of my friends invited us to go to SM today. Just to have some fun together since she wasn't in our school anymore. She invited our Finale group and other friends as well. And so we agreed to come. But something went wrong that made her not come. As well as pao and janelle. So I ended up with Kat and Jay. Along with Jay's bro, Mark. Making us four. hay..

Jay picked me up at my house around 2.45pm. They stopped by a little and chit chat then we went to SM. We then met up with Kat. We took some pics at a photo shop:

Then National Bookstore. hehe, just a quick peek to their new books.. and there I saw, Pendragon series. yay, I'd love to collect those ! =P

Then straight to Quantum. haha, well I'm not really an arcade fan but I still joined them. We played there and gave our shots. But with our efforts, we only ended up with around 25 tickets.. too bad.. >..< haay..

Then Eat. haha, nothing beats a break from playing. Doughnut, hotdog sticks, choco lattes and mango chill filled our stomachs.

We were even planning on having "let's paint", but unfortunately, we can't find it anywhere now. too bad. so we just finished our snacks and...

Home. Jay dropped me at my house at about 6.30pm. =P

Happenings...!

2007-12-31T19:50:00.000+08:00

okay, so I think I was quite out for a while, but you'll know soon enough.. I'll just give a brief backtrack of what happened since I last posted.

-------> Finally, "change layout" mode !

I changed my layout last week. I was actually planning on changing it every month, but since all that work has budged its way through my desk, I've got no choice. So anyway, this layout features one of the famous characters in the Final Fantasy legacy, yup! I think you know who she is already. She's Yuna, the singer slash summoner from FFX. Well, I haven't quite played the whole game in PS2, so I've got only a little background of what she's doing. All my friends say that she's a summoner. Summoning aeons ? And she is a singer too. I love her songs, such as "1000 words" and "Real Emotion". And her tandem with Tidus made her a really big hit.! So that is all I can say about it.

-------> Myself ; Yourself ...and... Lamune.. finished.!

So here's what I just finished watching last week..

Lamune

Myself ; Yourself

-------> Outing of some of the Linneanistas last Dec. 21.

This outing was held after the Chirstmas Party. But since we don't celebrate it and I did not attended it, they fetched me from home. We --meaning Me, Erika, Janelle, Kat, Karen, Joyce, Mj, Dane, Rx, and Pao as well as Erika's cousin who used his van as our trasportation to the site-- went to Picnic Groove in Tagaytay. But before that, we bought lunch from McDo and ate it there at Picnic Groove. Then played cards and then hiking !... wheeew.. then we ate snacks at Max's, took some pics, let all the fresh air sink in, and then went home.

***pics will come out soon. =)

-------> New Hobby ! Bead Crafting...

After seeing my ate creating stuffs with beads, I suddenly hit back my old pastime, bead crafting. I started making bracelets and necklaces, and so on...

-------> Vacation at Aunt Joy's place

Now, this is the reason why I was out for like, 4 days ? Our flight was changed and we went to Cagayan De Oro last Dec. 27. Unfortunately, dad didn't joined us. Kuya Ian fetched us from the CDO airport and we went to CDO SM. We met up with his family there and ate lunch at Bigbys. Is the spelling right ? And so we had a long hour drive from there to Lanao del Norte. whoa, we came to our destination late 6pm !

I really felt the province breeze gushed through me. It was like leaving the usual road traffic and coming to a place where traffic was quite uncommon. Totally ! The more we dived into the road to Lanao, the more I saw trees, forests, and plant fields around me. The next morning, we intended to go to Aurora, as they call it, to just have a view of the scenes. Mom was the one driving the van since no one else can. Kuya Ian and Kuya Llyod who knew how to drive were at work. And so we did, along with Uncle Oscar, Aunt tita (really, I'm not familiar with her name), Ate Celeste, Ella(kuya Ian's daughter), Jackie, and Alkim. Once we met our destination, mom was curious about going to Osamiz City.. What we did was more of a Road Trip rather than a scene-viewing-only-trip. So we went past Zamboanga, Tangub, and other places around Pangil bay. And rode a barge on our way home.

Well, I had fun =) I was also taught by Ate Celeste on how to bake cakes, yum !.. Aunt Joy also gave us fresh harvested shrimps, crabs, marang, pomelo, and other plants they've got.

we head back to Manila a few hours ago, and arrived here at about 2pm. Manila, I'm back =P !

A day like no other

2007-12-26T17:49:00.000+08:00

Yesterday, was of course, the Christmas holiday. But since we do not celebrate chirstmas, we just had a normal day. We went to the "Bethel", or the "House of God", Philippines Branch Office of Jehovah's Witnesses, yesterday. It was so quiet and peaceful. Once I got there, I got the fresh perspective of the upcoming paradise.

We took a brief tour around the peaceful place. They told us how they prepare the publications such as The Watchtower, Awake!, how it's made (from translation - layout - printing - and delivery of these publications to the other congregations around the Philippines), the laundry of the Bethel family, their spiritual care and needs, and so on.

All the Bethel family members are volunteers. They do this service with unity to our heavenly Father, Jehovah God. They were given a room and a small monthly reimbursement to assist with their personal expenses.

Pictures taken by: me.

Field Trip

2007-12-14T22:16:00.000+08:00

Last November 29, right after our Intrams, we had our field trip. ^_^ well, we hadn't had field trip since 1st yr and 2nd yr so I guess this is an event to look forward to..

But as usual, filipino time as always, they said that the buses should be here before 6am. But now they're late.. hay... 6 buses were there, but the last one got lost on the road. So, instead of leaving before 6.30, we left at about 10am !.. hay.. We're sooo delayed. ok anyway, now the trip:

1st trip:

Villamore Airbase

this is where some of the ancient pieces of the wind are located. We could even go inside an old chartered plane. Then there are profiles of captains and pilots of the "wind world".

2nd trip:

La Mesa Ecopark

this is where the La mesa dam is located. Well, it wasn't that enjoying since its raining. But we got the chance to go up the stairs with about a hundred steps just to see the dam - at first I thought it was the ocean, hindi pala =P. Then we saw some tv personalities like Angel Locsin filming some adverstiments as well.

3rd trip:

ok, so here's the last part of the trip, Science Discovery Center in SM Mall of Asia. Well, this part was supposed to be cancelled since we were delayed and got there at about 6pm. Not only that, the student's parents were also worried because there were some commotion about Trillanes' group protest in Manila Peninsula at that same day.

MOA Science Discovery Center

Well, it was fun. I can say that it has the same features as the Science Discovery in Singapore that I visited last year. In Singapore, there's this Omni-Theater which is similar to MOA's Planetarium. Although it's not that big, it still leaves an impression of sulit since they're quite organized. We also took a pic in their computers and e-mailed it to my address*. And we took some wallet sized pics as well.

ok so we finished it off with a dinner take-out from Tapa King and ate it while on the road. I got home late at about 10pm. Good thing we don't have classes the next day.

*this pic includes me, pao and kat.. It is located next to my credit, second pic from the right and at the very bottom.

I'd like to give credit to: me, kat, erika ---- for taking the pics.

Intrams .. Officiating .. Booth ?!

2007-12-09T19:05:00.000+08:00

okay.. So now, at least, I've got the pics from my cam and from my classmates' cams..

here are pics from our Intrams last november 26-28:

It took me a while to edit and make these pics because I've got internet shows to catch up. The Intrams and booth day were combined in a 3-day activity. Ours was "Horror Booth". It was quite a tiring week because we're not only there to prepare for our booth but also to play in the intrams. Not only that, we juniors are assigned to be the officials of the whole activity. Talk about a tiring week, eh? hay....

I would like give credit to: me, kat and erika --- for taking the pics.

An Award

"Why do people often get sentimental?"

A question blatantly asked. This was actually a chain text
sent to me by one of my classmates. Although people do get sentimental, some
often even ask, "why?"

"Because memories don't change, and will never
change..."

"...But people do..."

hay,.. I just felt like sharing it ^_^ well, for no particular reason. It's just that I felt this type of atmosphere sometimes. hayy..

Anyways, class breaks are over and we're at school again ^_^ ... haha. and a lot has been happening lately, my schoolmate Lea had finally got her commuter's Id and we can finally go home together, school works coming, I'm even stuck up with this project in computer about making a website, watching Myself; Yourself! and.... PERIODICAL EXAMS ?! NANAMAN ? wahehehe. ok gotta go guys :D

A day in EK

2007-11-04T09:15:00.000+08:00

hi :D

Sashiburi ! Last Friday, we went to Enchanted Kingdom with Tito Mandy and his family. It was fun. But definitely not my day when I got super wet after our first ride that day, in Rio Grande Rapids.. Uggguuu... The water just came splashing behind me.. huhu.

"peace"

before the drop

at Rialto

Anyway, we also rode other rides: the roller coaster, Anchors away (kinda different when you ride at the very end =P), Jungle Log Jump ( a really funny ride ), Space Shuttle, Rialto, etc.

I really had fun with Space Shuttle's loops. and the Log Jump's drop with pic :D

Done with it ^_^

2007-10-30T10:28:00.000+08:00

Yay ! Finished Saiunkoku Monogatari at last ! ^_^ [spoilers]

Saiunkoku Monogatari, or more commonly known as "Colorcloud Palace", aired in the Philippines this October, during Tuesday nights in Animax... Since I find it fun to watch, I decided to finish the whole season last week over the net :P.. As for the second season, it wasn't fully uploaded yet over the net so I was stuck with epie 6..

The story, which takes place in the fictional medieval empire of Saiunkoku, follows the adventures of Shūrei Kō, a descendant of a noble family that has fallen on hard times.
Her father works as a librarian in the Imperial palace, a post which offers prestige and respect, but little compensation. Shūrei teaches in the temple school and works odd jobs to make ends meet. But what she wanted was to become an official, a thing that is forbidden to women.

Shuurei's only family is his father, and Seiran - a man taken in when he was still a boy ; his history will be revealed on the later part of the story.. The main thing that happened to Shuurei was when she became the consort of the "foolish" Shi Ryuuki, the bethroded emperor. Her main task was to turn him into an able and responsible one.. Well, Ryuuki did realize his duties through her efforts, and even fell for her. But she didn't remained her consort. She wanted to become a gov. official and Ryuuki supported her by proposing that women could also take the Imperial Exams. As the story progresses, you will notice a lot of twists and secrets revealed.

Another thing that I liked about it is that, each and every episode has its own title - moral lesson- which envelopes the whole epie... Haay.. Just so that I wouldn't waste my time, I do my embroidery when I watch :P... sad to say, I'm still on the hair section of my design.. hehe.

Anyway, the next show that I'm currently into is Romeo X Juliet. Recommended by Janelley, a friend of mine, this show has similarities with that of Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare. I shall be changing my layout again soon.. Hmm.. that's all for now I guess.. Ja Mata !

What's Up With Our October ?

2007-10-14T17:32:00.001+08:00

HI guys !!! sori for the late entry.. =P Anyway, October has come !!

In a few weeks time, I'll finally enter my 15th year in this world. hehe.. October is one of my fave months co'z it's my bmonth, and K-zone's bmonth as well. But it's a fact that we don't celebrate birthdays, for we do not believe in the idea of this event. Anyway, here are some Happenings that I had since October came :

"Takbo Para sa Kinabukasan"

Last Oct 6, saturday, we had this "Takbo Para sa KInabukasan" Fund Race event in Imus Town Plaza. It's actually a 7 km run/walk that took us about 2 hours to finish,.. Registration is Free. The money that will be donated to the Public Schools will depend on how many delegates like us will attend the said event.. It was really tiring ! Phew ! We started at about 6:30am and ran along the barangays around Imus Town Plaza with many participating schools. I ran alongside Erika, Mj, Dane, Pao, Fran, Karen and Joyce.. But then suddenly when we were about half KM on the road, Pao and Fran got separated from us, they went with Carlota. Then MJ. Dane, Karen and Joyce got behind.. Leaving me and erika in the midst of participants. I really wanna run, but the thing is, Erika couldn't run that long so I have no choice but to walk. haaay.. When we're about to reach 3 KM, Karen reached us, leaving Joyce behind.

There were moments that I didn't even wanna know if my body couldn't take it anymore. I just walked and walked, or ran for a bit with them. I felt my legs and feet hurt, especially my right leg [for a reason I don't know] but still, I didn't mind them, I just kept walking. When we were almost 6 KM [YES !!], we took a rest for about 5 mins. to tie our shoelaces, drink some water and so on.. And soon, the others joined up with us. The others went on leaving me, Erika and Danessa.. We finally reached the finish line at about 8am or 9am..Phew ! The others were there already waiting for us.. Hahay... a really tiring morning.. I also checked my pedometer and I had about 19 to 20 thousand steps.. =P

RuneScape Exporation !

This online game was actually recommended to me by my classmates. You can have a free account here or you can pay them to be a member on the game.. At first you would find it boring. But then once you started to have quests and all that, you might find it amusing. ^_^ There are some challenges along the game that might be a problem but you'll surely figure it out, since there are a lots of online users that are nice and will help you when you're in trouble.

Weekend with my kamag-anaks:

This weekend, my cousins, Kuya Ian and Ate En with their children Andre and Ella, visited us. We went to Tagaytay to tour them and we also went to Edsa Shangri-la with them. Mom finally got her masteral diploma in Diabetes in their commencement excerices there. We took a swim in the pool that got me tan [again !] hehehe.... And shopping at Megamall.. We took them to the airport this morning for their flight on the way back to Mindanao.

'Till then fellow bloggers ! and visitors as well :D

Ouran High School Host Club

2007-09-22T16:44:00.000+08:00

Ouran High School Host Club.. one of my favorite animes!

ahem.. SPOILERS ALERT.
the texts beyond here in this entry has spoilers about the show. please be reminded. =P

I did a little research..

Haruhi Fujioka is a scholarship student at Ouran High School, which is a fictional school located in Bunkyō, Tokyo. Because of the superlative cost of the school uniform, Haruhi resorts to wearing long slacks, polo shirts and a vest. Combined with her large glasses and tousled short hair, Haruhi's look causes her to be confused for a boy. Haha, but she only wore those glasses at the first episode [if I'm not mistaken]...

Looking for a quiet place to study, Haruhi stumbles upon the Third Music Room, the working place of the Ouran Host Club, a group of six attractive male students who spend their time charming and entertaining the school's girls for profit. During their first meeting, Haruhi accidentally knocks over a vase valued at ¥8,000,000.

In order to pay off the large sum, Haruhi is employed as the club's "dog" and constantly ordered to do menial tasks like serving food or cleaning up. The Club president, without knowing she is really a girl, promotes Haruhi to "host" as soon as he discovers her potential. Even after the truth comes out in the Club, Haruhi continues the charade and is allowed to pay off the rest of her debt working as a host — provided she conceals her true identity from the customers.

All the characters have different attitudes and tastes, which contributes to the wholeness and cuteness of the show. Every episode leaves you with a laugh and marks a smile on your face. Although sometimes, it exaggerates a little, but, in the end it still leaves a moral lesson.

I always laugh at Haruhi's cute and innocent face. Sometimes, she becomes a slap in the back with a good intention, or she could even say things she never thought would hurt somebody. And even though she's not in that 'super-rich level of society', she can still maintain her abilities and good relations with others. Another part of her that I like is that she's the only person who can tell Hikaru and Kaoru apart! ^ ^ for me, I can tell them by hearing their voice, Kaoru has a softer one than Hikaru's [but they were dubbed by the same person =P]

It's a total of 26 episodes. They say that it has differences with the manga, but I can't be sure co'z I haven't read it yet. I started watching this show since the last week of August 'till yesterday. I finally finished it and still, I'm craving for more episodes co'z it was kinda bitin with its ending. Haruhi just took Tamaki from his engagement, they then had they're dance together, and then Kyouya's father wants Haruhi to be Kyouya's bride [what >?] hehe.. Rumors say that there'll be a season 2 of this show.. but it was declared quite impossible.. haaay...

The music themes were quite good too.. Sakura Kiss by Chieko Kawabe was the Opening theme [which is my background midi at the moment ^^] and Shissou by Last Alliance as its Ending theme song.. It's a really nice anime and is open to viewers of all ages. ^^

ISSAA Imus Meet '07-'08

2007-09-20T19:05:00.000+08:00

Aha ! ISSAA was held last thursday, Sept 13 upto Saturday, Sept 15...
ISSAA [Imus Secondary School Athletic Association] Imus Meet is an event in which varsitarians from different schools fight off to get to the top.. This year, we have about 22 or 23 school participants.. Hwah.. And it's quite hard to cover them all haayy... Here are some pics.

It took me a while to edit them..... Hope u like them !!

It was a really tiring week...

haha.... We even met up with old buds during the event.. ^^ and oh yeah, one of our former teachers, Sir Villa, is also there ^^... Anyway, it's really nice to know that our scrabble, chess and basketball varsitarians made its way through the championship..!!!

Hwah ! A whole bucket of August just finished!

2007-09-07T16:24:00.000+08:00

eeii,, Sorry guys for not showing up these days.. It's just that there's so many things that happened [Literally] that even I can't keep up with it. whaw...We did a lot of thingy from school, and then preparations for the exams that just finished this morning, etc.

We had shootings, [it's fun being the director ^^] exams [grr..], programs, visits, and so much more.. hayy,... I can't post the pics yet, co'z I'm having this "tamad" mode at the moment. So please bare with me. I'll post other pics soon. Which reminds me, I've been a newbie here at photoshop ^^ yipee... So if you guys know some techniques, pls teach me >.> I'm not that good at it yet.. hehe

Oh yeah, our exams just finished this afternoon... YESSS !!! no more tiring days of preparations ! and the articles for Manila Bulletin are also finished.. haayy... ^^

WEee !! I'm watching another anime, Ouran High School Host Club.. It's really cute ^^

I'll be putting up a new layout soon..

NO Classes ?!

2007-08-08T09:51:00.000+08:00

Suspended Classes

No classes

Due to the new storm "Chedeng"... Yess !! no classeS ! at last I can have the rest I've been waiting for.. but, I just hope that I will recieve merit for being there in school, even though I can't come inside because of hitting myself... waaahh...

I'm not happy just because there is no classes ^ ^... I'm happy for our weather, after all that months of drought, finally rain came.. then the Farmers, at last, they could have the profit they're waiting for ages.. and for the Dams -- Angat dam, that need more water to supply us.. ^ ^

This is one of the proof that the "Last Days" are really here.. Unusual happenings come by, even though it's not really the time for it to happen .. sigh.. well, gotta review for our exams.. bye ^ ^

Rover Vigil

2007-08-05T21:14:00.000+08:00

at last !!!!!

waaahh ... that was tough !.. the vigil was held last Aug 3-4 ang guess what, no sleeping allowed the whole night... ! Almost 8 hours of no sleeping mohwd, the training started at about 8:30pm with the orientation. Then the self exam at about 2am and the investing at about 3am.

I wasn't really supposed to attend these activities since I'm not participating in Scouting activities because there were activities that we do not agree on doing. But it's a requirement so that I could graduate and so am there..

I was assigned on group 2, along with kat and others, as well as other participants from other schools. This was my first time, actually. And it was also nice to meet some of my old classmates that transferred to other schools -- Patricia, Tracy and Paul [aka Pong].

Since I was the photographer for our school paper, I'm obliged to stay awake and keep watch of all the "happenings" of the said event. Most of the pics went on being blurry because of my shaky hands, probably of exhaustion.

It was fun and tiring at the same time ! As soon as I got home at 7am, I plunged into my bed and went straight to slumber until 1pm. And then another one at 4pm till 5:30pm. Then we went to Kingdom Hall for our study of the Watchtower and Public Talk.

The next morning, today, I had my 1st and 2nd Piano lesson for the month of August. I'm about halfway on my piece "Pobreng Alindahaw". Then we went to MOA and watched Harry Potter 5 and The Order of Phoenix at IMAX. It was nice, the 3D effect I mean. But it was a pity though that not all of the scenes are in 3D mode. The parts that were in 3D were in the encounter with Voldemort and in the Ministry of Magic.

Well, yeah that's all guys for tonight. Oh yeah, for those who have already linked me and for those who will link me, pls change it by following the instructions in my "Link me ?" section. Goodnight !!

Events from last week until now ..

2007-08-02T21:41:00.000+08:00

Weee, I've been so busy I can't keep track of the activities we had at school.. Anyway, at least everything's been slowed down a bit since we've passed almost half of the projects.
Here's another new layout. From Pita Ten. I guess this'll be my 1st entry for August

Cookfest Mowhd:

Oh yeah, we had our cookfest last July 26. The celebration of Nutrition Month this year has the theme "Healthy Lifestyle ng Kabataan, Landas sa Kinabukasan". So, the contest started off with preparations for booth designs. Funny thing is, we're the only section that isn't preparing anything, since our group leaders are still out there buying prawns and squids.

They came a bit late but we still had time to catch up with the others..

"sippin' some milkshake"

"'Mendelicious' menu"

"Meals"

"After Cooking"

"A tiresome day indeed"

"Got nothin to do.."

MJ's Kubo Mohwd:

Last Saturday, Me, Erika and Pao went to Mj's house to continue our Project in Filipino. We intended to do it at MJ's Kubo but a storm[or better yet, rain] came falling down at us. So we were forced to do it inside at her house.

"Transform !"

"peace !"

"smile naman dyan"

Montessorian Mohwd:

okey, this morning. We started our Montessorian Workshop. A lot of new recruit members have auditioned for this try-out. We, the former members of the club, discussed the different departments of the Montessorian Paper. wooohh ! quite a day actually. We checked and gave comments to their activities as well.

That's all for today.. WEee ! no classes tom as announced by pres. Macapagal for the "kabataan". But I have to sleep early co'z tomorrow we're going to have our Rover Moot Vigil.

Good Night guyz !

Kaguring and Magnifico !

2007-07-25T21:19:00.000+08:00

eeyy guyz !! been long not having any entry ... hehe.

A lot has happened that day.. 21st of july..

Well considering the fact that it's a Saturday morning, I should be there at home, sleeping, yawning and daydreaming at my bed. Or watching, reading Bethel publications, practicing and doing projects.. But not today. We had a program at school. And I can't be absent since I got big responsibilities now and then.

Anyway. The program was for us, SCO officers. A thanksgiving program. But at the first few hours, I didn't quite felt the color of it. Still, we continued it.

The next hours were full of exhaustion. I mean, for our part, the SCO's. The Kaguring program was next, organized by SCO and 4th years. Since it was our first program, we were basically preparedly unprepared. The certificates were missing, the cds are scrambled, etc. But, we're still okay.

Princess, Naomi and I were the DJs of the show. So, it was basically fun because you have full control over the music. But the downside of it was twisting your mind off in cueing musics with the cds that each performing group has to present. Although Alkim had some of his trauma aroused because of one of the challenges, the show ended with an "okay" mood. ^ ^

Magnifico mowhd :

The next day, Sunday july 22nd.. I had my piano lesson again ! But this time I had to commute because neither mom nor dad can send me. They're at Malaysia at that time.

Next is the meeting for watching Magnifico. It's for the project in Filipino. Movie review.
Kat, Erika and Paolo came...

There was just one problem. Instead of watching and understanding the movie, we all had different actions which is really funny. Kat was playing her psp, while paolo was using ours. Then they watched funny videos in youtube and atechocolates. The meeting wasn't that productive but it did at least, gave me an idea of the movie that I'm going to write a review on... too bad my partner for this movie wasn't there, MJ..

Goodnight guys !

Paying a Day-off

2007-07-15T19:25:00.000+08:00

uuhhmm, since it was a pretty hectic weekend.. Some friends of mine invited me to watch Harry Potter 5 and the Order Of Phoenix in Robinsons Imus. I just thought that I might need a little day-off or break from the previous days and so there I am with Erika and Karen, watching while eating popcorns and drinking our drinks. I tried to invite others but they can't come. The other one was on a race practice ; another was on a bowling tournament with his dad while the other has no permission..

The part 5 of Harry Potter movie wasn't so bad. The effects were good, plot on the story and so on.. But, I can't make an effective rating [or comparing] since I haven't read the book yet. Erika will lend me hers so I can relate to her spoiler thingy.

Anyway, after the show and a slice of tom's world,.. we all parted. I then joyned my family on our way to Kingdom Hall. Always not forget to put God first. I must remember that. ^ ^

The next morning.. waah, late for my Piano lesson.. And 2 weeks without lessons has left me with uneven playing [haha, co'z forgets to practice] .. So my teach told me to always practice at least 30 mins a day.

Then on the way to SM Dasma, we watched Transformers. I wasn't planning on watching or anything but the next thing I knew it, I was there, watching eating popcorn just like yesterday.
Now this movie has a thing for sci-fi lovers. Great visual Effects, especially to the robots. Nice way of laying out the plot.. and acting was good. but a bit violent if you ask me. The main character [Sam, right?] reminds me of a character in the Even Stevens show. maybe he is the actor of the same show..?

Well.. That's all I guess. I need to be ready for another busy week .. aja! goodnight guys..

Hectic but fun week

2007-07-13T21:46:00.000+08:00

A week full of projects and assignments! Not to mention the non-lasting quizzes everyday..

Just like they say: 3rd yr. life ang pinakamahirap sa high school..

Indeed, we're just in the midst of July and yet here comes the smell of school jobs coming your way.. There's this SCO too., and the programs, aahhmm.. and did I mention projects too?

Anyway, All in All... It's fun and tyring at the same time.. It made me realize, I can do it. Before, when I was in my elementary days, I used to just cry in a corner, whenever I feel that my schedule ties up. But now, I can try prioritizing my tasks and budget my time fluently than before.. Although sometimes, I still had problems with it..

We almost finished our project in Geometry, making figures of polyhedron. Actually, our teach only asked for one, but we managed to convince her to give us plus points if we manage to make all of it [cube, tetrahedron, pyramids, prisms]... I was glad that my groupmates cooperated.. Then we drew a flower in values education class describing ourselves using by answering questions.. All this plus other fun memories has left a picture in my mind that I can do it.

Tomorrow is Saturday...

.+. do my project in Chemistry [oh yeah, we had a very hard quiz this morning waah]
.+. go to robinson with Erika and Karen to watch Harry Potter 5 [yay]
.+. attend at our meeting in Kingdom Hall [always look up to God... I wish to improve my Bible reading more..]

EminA signing out ^ ^

A dream of a dream

2007-07-05T20:50:00.000+08:00

Haaayy... Another entry, another story.. to tell..

Well umm, there's not much to tell but all that walang tigil na assignments and quizzes .. I mean, just for one day, one-fifth of our big blackboard is covered with "The Teacher's Corner : reminders... homeworks, quizzes, etc.."

So everything's been back to normal -- from tiring campaign work days to class days. But something weird is happening to me this week.. I've been daydreaming too much,... Kinda unusual, but true. Maybe it's because of the last tiring week.. I love daydreaming.. about make up stories of mine..

So when a friend of mine talks to me, I stare at her blankly, just like a listener.. But really I am listening. And then she says, "what do you think?" .. I can only answer, "what was that again?".. I am like a dreamer lost in my dreams. Mj and Monique were worrying if I'm ok, because it's not like me to be like that. I just assure them that it's ok and maybe am just a bit sleepy. It also happens when there's a discussion in class.. I'm just thankful that I can still remember the topics when exam comes.

so that's all..I'll try to reduce my daydreaming a bit. If it goes on and on, maybe I won't be a good listener anymore [just joking!] good night everyone..

SCO auditor on the go ^ ^

2007-07-01T10:57:00.000+08:00

so I guess this will be my first entry for the month of July.. and another new layout hihi..

first off... Meeting de Avance was held last thursday.. well, it was kinda a "success" and I think that I did answered the question given to me right.. So, all that interrogation, questions, intermission numbers [ the one we've practicing for ages ], and the Die-Cat band lasted for a good 4 hours..

So, the election for the officers was held the next day.. I wasn't really expecting of winning..

But if I did win, I'll try my best nalang. ^ ^

Me and a friend of mine were a bit bored during recess, so we decided taking some pics won't hurt:::

kat and me ^ ^

In that same evening, I was chatting with Kuya japboy [a 4th yr student last year] and he suddenly said, "Congrats!! I heard you won the position by 1 point".. I was like, "how did he know that? I mean, he's in college now and how did he find it out before the ones in our school?"... He soon explained that someone sent a message to Kuya Kenneth and then he told it to him.. and then to me.. end of the story. Whew! It was almost a draw, if it wasn't for that 1 point. hehe.. ^.^..

So I guess I'll be a part of the student body for this school year.. ^_^

A REEAAALLLYYY tiring week....next stop..Meeting de Avance

This is my very first time... First time for me to have so much in mind that I can't even respond to my friends over the net..

First of all, this SCO campaign thing has really budged its way into my schedule since last week. But I never imagined it would be that hectic.. Yes, I was excused from classes..Yet, oh no, I missed all the discussions, seatworks and quizzes so I had a hard time dealing with all of it.. But anyway, I got through it right? We're all exhausted from all that campaign works, schoolworks, and intermission number,..

So, tomorrow's finally gonna come.. the Meeting de Avance.. All that practice would finally have effect tomorrow. And right now I'm still thinking of how it will all go. Of what am going to say for the speech.. nighty everyone

Up up and away

okey, so it's been quite long and the BIG reason is... well umm, Jobs in School... obviously, these are the nonstop assignments, projects [waah!] ..not to mention the SCO campaign we're having this week..,, ummm I mean next week... am totally mixed with my schedule *insert some exhausted face here*... the logo for the our class was finally finished but... the logo for our party name : SEAN BURN!! isn't ready yet, I guess.. as well as the dance steps for the Jingle next week for the Meeting the Avance...

Actually, we started practice this week, and not all of us have memorized the steps yet, but we're trying our best.. Anyways, the "class day" that we had last saturday was really nice...

I kinda said "Minsanan nalang ito"... so we sure did a lot of pics yet most of it [ especially our group pics] turned out to be blurry.. haiizz, because of paolo's shaky hands.. I'm there with my friends..

At least, with this one, it's not blurry BUT dark... but you could still consider it as a good shot right>?? heheh ...Soon after the picture taking and games, the students had more fun covering each other with flour and cake icing..

Then, we were dismissed at 12:30pm,,, kinda early, but still ok. Am here with MJ, at the kinder playground [though we're not kinders!] we tried different kind of shots until we're tired and we finally came up with this.. haha!..

That's fun about HIGH SCHOOL.. and then back to work guyz! [grr...]

Hope you enjoyed my share of experiences last Saturday.. EminA Signing out!

"deMOCKracy" as a fwend of mine says..

Uhh... Hey EminA here.. so uhh, today and uhhmm, yesterdaywere sort of "okay-not okay" kind of day.. haha..

Especially yesterday! That was a really WIERD day!

Everybody was silent whenever SIESTA time comes along
Pretty Gloomy, no one was reciting...
No one uttered a word, nor whisper.. Utter silence indeed surrounded the four cornered room

It's like everybody has personal problems which isn't true... well the truth is everybody was just [sleepy] because its [siesta] time..hehe! but anyways, it doesn't mean that we're actually SO silent all the time..

And now... waah! no backing out now.. here comes SCO.. I was elected as auditor [yey! at least it isn't so top] and it's kinda ok for me but the "meeting de avance"stuff.. wahh, will be held on stage.. Hope I don't slip or anything.. anyways, I can't think of any platform.. nor the party [name] to help my ka-partys.. and its funny co'z everybody's been talking about the platform instead of the party name. The opposing party already has one, S.T.A.R... not through with the details though so I don't know the meaning of the acronym yet..

P.S. assignments=not again! waah.... emina signing out.. ^^

No classes today..

2007-06-11T15:18:00.000+08:00

HHmmm.. June 11.. apparently we don't have any classes today because of the Independence day holiday. Well, it's supposed to be held tomorrow but they moved the holiday today instead.. ^__^ Talk about looong weekend!! yipee!

Mom just came yesterday morning from her week visit in Canada..[buti pa xa!] She just attended a convention then had a little tour around the place.. Lucky her, not everybody has the chance to visit places without paying fees.. heheh ^^ well am currently chatting with some friends..

So, I had a lot of assignments. and the saturday classes are there again.. haiizz

Brr... Ultimate

wwaahh... Been long since I posted an entry. Finally, the classes started. Aaahww, it's quite disappointed though, because some of my close friends ended up in the other section. >_<

I met old friends, old classmates, new faces, new friends. I met Rose, a Korean transferee as well as May C. Rose tought me some Korean words and she translated my name in Korean letters.. hehe.. I felt glad, knowing how to write my name in another language. Although I prefer Japanese because of anime, I kinda starting to like Korean now... Co'z my friends and I love to watch Koreanovelas. uuhhmmm.. so umm, totally new teachers, except Ms lei [ms lei ko!], sir jeff and others.

I don't know why though, but they invited me to join SCO..haha.. but I declined though.. I still have a lot to do these days and joining other activities might stressed me and all that. All in all, school is a need and I have to bear with it. It's more strict and has new rules. Of course, cellphones are banned as always.

I guess that's all. and pls link me back when using my graphics. thanks so much. and umm, Naruto Shippuuden is still airing guyz.. been longing for the final ending >_< .. haha..

EminA signing out.

Hi.. well, this is my first time to use blogger and so am still wandering around and exploring it.. I've already heard and seen this before, but the idea of signing for an accout here didn't came to me until just now. and so the next thing I knew it, I'm here typing my first entry..

I've studied HTML before and so I'm quite familiar with it. Still, I had quite a hard time while formatting this blog, because all of the pre-made blogskins that I found on the net were not working, however hard I tried editing it...haha.. and later, after all that surfing and searching, it was just then that I realized, I'm using the newer version of blogger.. And that it accepts XHTML, the newer version of HTML...haha... thinking about it makes me laugh!! So I looked for newer and XHTML version of blogskins..

And so I came up with this [temporary, I guess] layout.. hehe.. I also have my other blog, entitled ~Moonlight-emina~... you can visit it if you want.. hehe..

yay ! Welcome to my world
