As usual, I am once again hounded by a hectic schedule. By the end of this month, I predict I'll be experiencing a nervous breakdown.
For September, I have to:
- Pass the second quarter part of the "Big Book",
- Pass the Chemistry project,
- Attend parish involvement (havent attended any this quarter),
- Attend speech choir practices,
- Attend street play practices and actually perform on the afternoon of the 23rd, which is RIGHT AFTER our retreat,
- Attend track and field training every Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays & Fridays, and
Organize and celebrate the Inna-Ninna-MJ birthday (Mj, kaya pa ba natin ituloy?
)
Because of the activities that are lined up, I'm giving up playing soccer this second module, even though it breaks my heart. 
GAAAAHH. The things I do for school. Eh wala, I have to set my priorities straight.
Yesterday, our class went to PCMC for our outreach.
I was shocked to see children as young as they are suffer. I was not only shocked, I was devastated. Some of them had lukemia, others had cerebral palsy, others had diseases the names of which I cannot even pronounce.
I saw this this 2-year old kid suffering from cerebral palsy. His mom died, then his dad abandoned him. Now, only his lola takes care of him. And by the looks of it, I say she's having a hard time.
I even saw this baby who was born pre-maturely. She's about the size of my hand. I was almost in tears when I saw her.
Then, while I was talking to one of the families, the doctor came in. She handed the prescription for the kid's medicines. I saw the look on the father's face. I could see he was worried because the price of the medicines were quite expensive. Obviously, he was gonna have a hard time paying for it.
Damn, it just broke my heart to see what I saw.
That experience got me thinking. I realized that I am really really really blessed. I am so lucky to have what I have right now.
So to all those who make a difference in my life, a big THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, MJ!! Hope you're happy. Sorry I wasn't able to go to the "surprise". I had to attend to something. But I hope you really are happy. Like you said, ikaw naman boss today eh.
BELATED HAPPY BIRTHDAY, NINNA!! I hope you're happy too. Don't worry, we'll celebrate our birthdays together someday.
Whoo. Tomorrow's my turn. Exactly 5 hours and 30 minutes to go.
Bad thing is, tomorrow, Music is first period, to be followed by Trigo. Starting my day should be interesting.
Plus, we're gonna be dismissed at 4:00 pm for speech choir practice. So much for holistic Friday. Di ko rin nagamit yung halfday.
I still hope I enjoy the day though. I'd like to celebrate my birthday like I used to. Yung tipong ninth birthday mo, and you're soooo excited. You even stay up 'till midnight. Then in the morning, you make sure everyone knows it's your birthday. Then you receive an actual gift from your parents and go through the trouble of opening it. Hindi yung aabutan ka lang ng pera (but I guess receiving money is not so bad either 
).
I wish I actually feel it's my birthday tomorrow.
Oh well, we'll see.
Currently feeling: okay

Yes, first period was indeed Music. Sir definitely pissed me off. He is no way to start your day. But anyway, it’s all good.
Second period was Geom. Ms. Malvas was absent, so we were given a seatwork. Soon, the class became really noisy. Because of this, Jen asked for a five-minute silence. After a while came my first surprise. Alysa came with a cake and a card and the class sang me a Happy Birthday. I was sooooo touched. I was clueless eh. I didn’t expect a cake. Thanks, Alysa. I love you.
Then came recess time. As usual, I went down to eat with BFU. When I got there, I was welcomed by surprise number 2! Daming food, mehn. Barbeque, pasta, lemon square cheesecakes, chocolate mini-cakes, chips, toblerone, tuna, suuuper yummy pandesal, juice and lots more. Naging fiesta tuloy yung dating. They also gave me letters and banners. Again, I suuuuper loved the surprise. I love you, BFU!
After three more periods came lunchtime. Kala ko tapos na. But nooooo. As I was about to go down, someone used a handkerchief to blindfold me, may matching evil laugh pang kasama. Ang galing, The Justice League was staging a “kidnap”! They led me to different places, only to make me dizzy. When we finally arrived at the place, it was surprise number 3 for me. JL and some of the tsiks were there! They sang Happy Birthday for me. There was a cake with four candles (haha, thank you, Janine!), letters, and a gift in a Justice League paper bag. When I looked inside, there was a BATMAN LUNCHBOX. It is soooooo…. batty. Ang gandaaaaa. I missed being with them. Thank you, JL and Tsiks. I love you guys.
At the end of the school day, I came home with one whole cake (the t’siks feasted on the other one during lunchtime), 1 2 liters of Sprite, a plastic bag full of chips & left over cheese and chocolate mini cakes, a JL paper bag with a Batman lunchbox inside, and an orange balloon (actually, I didn’t come home with the ballloon because someone stole it, argh). Point is, I enjoyed the day.
Good part is, it's not even over yet. Gonna eat dinner out with the family later. Yay! 
I'm really thankful, 'cause sabi nga ni Alysa, "A lot of people really love you."
Salamat sa lahat ng nagmamahal at bumati. You guys truly made my day. I LOVE YOU GUYS.

I thought it was gonna be just a regular Saturday. I went to parish in the morning then went straight home. After parish, I was so tired, all I could do was lie down. I was watching “Coach Carter” with my siblings when my brother called me to go out of the room. I asked him why, but he just gave me an “I-don’t-know-come-see-for-yourself” kind of look. So I did go out thinking it was a phone call or something.
But when I got out, Anna, Cassie and some Sibolistas (Julian, Mik, Myron, Josef) were there!!! They came to the house to surprise me!! They brought me two cakes and their gifts. At that moment, my heart was beating so fast that I was shaking. My heart was beating so fast it hurt. I couldn’t believe they went through all that trouble and planning for me. I was sooooooo touched. Kuya was even in on the surprise, which made it even more special.
Anyway, we went to Shang right after their surprise (now I understand why mom wouldn’t allow me to go out with my friends Saturday night. Even they were in on it. Nakakahiya, I got really mad at mom pa for not allowing me). We had lunch at Tokyo Tokyo, and then Niño came. Grabe yung hangover. My heart was still in shock until lunchtime. After, we went for a studio pic, and then we played a little at Power Station. We planned to watch a movie after (we watched “Red Eye”, which wasn’t anything spectacular).
But before the movie, Dino came! Even if it was out of his way and even if he was already late for his dentist appointment, he still dropped by Shang to greet me and give me his gift. I found that really sweet. Too bad he couldn’t stay. But thanks, Dino!
This day was a blast. I thank God for these people. They’re not only my friends, they’re like my family, and I love them for that. Thanks, guys. You really helped in making this the best birthday ever.
Currently feeling: HAPPY, THANKFUL, LOVED

I think it was Mandee who said,
"Asian school children are indeed overworked."
Kung tutuusin, kulang na lang may tumawag sa akin na "Imang" sa dami ng laman ng backpack ko araw araw.
Wala lang, gusto ko lang sabihin na:
NAPAPAGOD NA AKO.

A while ago, during English class, we were asked to share love stories we may have read or seen in the past.
I raised my hand, and willingly shared a love story which I consider one of the greatest, CYRANO DE BERGERAC.
I realized that if you love someone, you'd be willing to do what would make him/her happy, even though it breaks your heart to do so.
Wow, love really is a splendid thing.
Man, I miss Cyrano days. I miss my sibol sisters and brothers even more.

Yesterday, we had our career talk. I was assigned to be in the Business Management class that day.
Gosh, thinking about the future scares me like hell. Lots of questions keep coming to mind like, "Where will I go to college?" or "What course am I going to take?" or "What will I be when I grow up?"
Funny how I don't have the answers to questions I was sure of when I was younger.
When I was younger, I wanted to be a teacher. When I was younger, I wanted to be a doctor. When I was younger, I wanted to be a director.
Haay, sana ganun nga kadali pumili ng career ngayon. You've got things to consider now eh. You have to think about how easy it will be to find a job, how much the job will pay, and the competition.
I really want to take a course in communications, but the parental units won't allow it. I can take it daw AFTER college. Naisip ko naman, if you love what you do and what you're going to do, aren't the chances of excelling really high? Pero wala, I have to follow what they say.
Rawr. Now, I'm scared that I still have no idea what to take up, and Junior na 'ko. College may seem far away, but I just know time will fly by just like that.
*Panic* *Panic*
TRIGONOMETRY IS GIBBERISH TO ME!!!
Gah, nahihirapan na talaga ako. I hate math, I hate math, I hate math! To even add to the torture of me not understanding the lesson, Mrs. Buli-e teaches like there's no tomorrow. Ang bilis kaya. Oo, effective yung methods niya, pero sana naman she gives us time to absorb the lessons.
PESTENG SINE, COSINE YAN.
Like in the last quiz, I did not understand the lesson AT ALL. The quiz was over 15, but I just guessed all my answers. My score? 9/15. Haha. Not bad, considering I just wrote whatever came to mind at that time.
Kasi naman ehh, most schools don't even take up Trigo in the third year. Most of them take it in senior year.
Please laaang.
CHEMISTRY + GEOMETRY + TRIGONOMETRY = INSANITY
Kaya nga hindi na 'ko eligible mag-graduate with honors eh. NAKAKINIS!
PEOPLE, I NEED HELP. HELP ME UNDERSTAND, PLEASE?
