Chocolate Truffles...
August 30,2003
Mmmm... Chocolate truffles... gooooood. Heheheh... Gotta love chocolates. Cant live without em...
Well, first week of school has gone by, and fortunately, it wasnt that bad. I actually enjoyed it, although it did stress me out right away. (To think it was just the first week...yikes!) Lemme see... here's how my schedule goes:
Period 1:::Digital Computers with Mr. Benainous.... (did I spell his name right?) Hehehe... right now, we're working on the basics of Adobe Illustrator. Weeee!!! We get our own computers in class, too! Hehehe! I'm quite excited about this one coz we would be working on Adobe a lot! Heheheh!!! Soon, we would be working on graphic designs and animation! Wee!!! ^___^ Cant wait!
Period 2:::A.P. English with Mr. Itkin... "A.P" stands for Advance Placement. This would surely be challenging. A hell lot of essays to write to prepare us for the AP exams around May of next year. Scary. We have to know all the literature terms, etc...etc... Probably, the only thing I like about this thing is that, I'm not stuck with the other A.P English teacher...now that would be pure torture since she plays favorites and almost everyone says that she's such a pain. Whew! At least Mr. Itkin is nice. Hehehe.
Period 3:::Chemistry with Ms. Barker... Now this should be fun. Almost all of my friends are in this class. Ms. Barker is really nice, too. She told us that we would be having a lot of labs (yay!) not to mention field trips to places such as Crime Labs, out on a boat, etc...etc... Heheheh!!! This should be exciting.
Period 4:::Leadership with Ms. Potrovitza and Mr. Payne... hmmm...same old stuff...except that we're gonna be really busy... besides... I'm no rookie in here anymore. Ms. Potrovitza is new here since she replaced Ms. Lew. Then again, Ms. Lew comes in once in a while to remind us that we should live up to being the "Super" students that we should be.
Period 5:::Trigonometry with Mr. Karapetyan... Hmmm....not much to say about this class... it's just like the usual atmosphere in math classes. Mr. K calls us all a genius. Lol.
Period 6:::U.S History with Mr. Jauregui... ahhh...the class that I am so clueless about. I have no freaking idea whatsoever about U.S. History. Jeez... At least Mr. Jauregui is nice, so I dont have to fret everytime it's 6th period. Lol.
There...then starting this week, I would also be having afterschool classes. And on saturdays, I would be having P.E. Then by november, I would have to squeeze in Basketball Practices after school as well. Not to mention I have to prepare for SAT's.
*Shivers* yikes. >_<
That's life I guess...
Anyways, before I go, Just wanted to advertise another of my friends' blog... this is Nina's weblog: Gaze Into the World of Angelstar Check it out! ^__^
Well, tah-tah for now!
Awww...kitty, kitty...
August 22,2003
I think I've finally realized why some people, particularly Ysa, are so in love with cats. I used to loathe those furry, little, sharp-clawed, black-slitted-pupil-eyed, critters. I always found them so "cold". They tend to stare at me with such emptiness and coldness that I didnt like. They are very unlike dogs who would stare at me with such a warm, comforting look that would actually urge me to cuddle them. ^__^ Although I still love dogs (especially Siberian Huskies and wolves) more than anything in the world, I cant help but erase my hatred for cats. I guess it was because of that cat I met when I accompanied my mom to work last week (I had to help her by baby-sitting this HUGE dog and this cat while she took care of the nice old woman who owned the luxirious house atop the mountain). The kitty avoided me the whole day... until late afternoon when, I guess, it gathered up enough courage to approach me while I sat in the den watching T.V. I looked down on it as it it stood few inches of me, watchful and observant. I thought of petting it, but was quite hesitant. I thought it would have scratched me if I layed even a finger on it's black striped, orange-and- white, long fur. But I tried petting it nevertheless... very careful until I was sure that it was safe. It stood stiff for a moment as I gently bagan petting it, then relaxed. After a few more petting, it left for the kitchen and I resumed watching T.V. Whew! Was I glad that I was in good terms with the feline. ^__^ Later, it returned to me. I thought it was only going to pass by, but to my surprise it walked to my leg and purred, brushing its soft fur against my pants, begging for attention. It was then that my long-termed hate for cats diminished. I guess they're not that bad after all. ^__^
But dont get me wrong, I still favor dogs more than cats.
*Groans* Summer vacation is almost over for me. Tuesday next week, I'll be back in school, buried in mountains of books and homework once again. This time, I have a feeling it wouldnt be as easy as my last year. This time, I have extra classes in the afternoon, P.E. every saturday, and for winter break: I have to attend English 101 in LACC. Not to mention, I have A.P classes this time. Hopefully, I'll be able to balance everything and maintain a high average. The only thing that sucks about this is that I would have less or no time for myself at all. =_=
Oh well...
These past few weeks, my parents and my older brother have been house searching. I think they have their minds set on this one located at Balwin Park. Sheesh. I dont mind moving to a new neighborhood really... as long as it doesnt involve me changing school and going through the whole miserable process of starting over. ^__^;;
Anyways, gotta go for now...hopefully, I wouldnt disappear too long due to my going-to-be-busy-due-to-schoolwork. For now, I really have to get started on the three novels and passage explanation homework due on the first day of classes. Jeez...help me... ^__^;;
You are a true nature girl!

Hear me ROAR!!!
August 09,2003
Yeah!!!! XD Hear me ROARRRRRR!!!!! Mwahahahahah!!!! RRRRRaaaaarrrrrrr!!!! >____<
Lol...you might think that I might be going insane...but... behold!!! I am not! (well, probably just a little bit..hehehe..) But seriously, I havent felt this energized in ages! I feel so reloaded with energy and determination... makes me feel like I can do anything... even actually jump up and reach for the stars! ^___^
Heheheh... hihihihihih....huhuhuhuhuh....hhohohohohoh!!! BWAhahahahahaha!!!
*sweatdrop*
*Ahem* As I was saying... I guess after sulking in laziness and tiredness these past few months, I have finally sunked way to the bottom of this "bottomless" pit, and since it is the bottom, the forces that were pulling me down dont have any other choice but to bounce me back up. Weeeeee!!! But this time, I'm not allowing anything to bring me back down. I've had enough of being such a weakling...and this time... I AM GOING TO BE STRONG!!! Yes... strong not only physically (ooh...needs lots of exercising there...^.^), but also mentally, spiritually, and emotionally... Mwahahahah!!! No more crap such as junk foods, boys, depression, laziness etc... HAH!!!
I have to be determined...and I will be! This time... I will strive to be better than my best! ^___^ Ooh yeah!
On the other hand... heheheh!!! Weeeeee!!! I'm so happy! My older sister sent me Culture Crash Issue#'s 9 and 10!! Heheheh!! Ooh! Jun's going to be in so much trouble...^.^
And yet, still on the other hand (wait a sec...I've only got two hands... oh well, my foot would do... hehe ^^)... my computer has caught some damn virus...Rrarrararar!!! Hopefully, I would be able to get rid of it ASAP. Heh. *curse whomever created viruses* >_<
Anyways, that's it for now... and before I scoot, let me say this one last time: HEAR ME ROAR!!!! RRRROOOOOAAARRR!!!
*meowr XD*
Tired out of my witz...
August 3,2003
Aaahhh... Alas! I will end up sleeping late again tonight. =_= Last night, (or shall I say, this morning?) I stayed up the whole night trying to finish majority of my English summer work. I stayed on the living room couch so that I may be able to prevent myself from falling asleep. It worked, obviously. I remember being still awake around 4:30am...and I guess I didnt realize that I had drifted off to sleep later on. ^_^;; I guess my parents and my siblings knew I was up the whole night, that they didnt even bother waking me up. I realized that I had fallen asleep on the couch, with the TV on, and my hands resting on top of my books and papers.=_=
I dont know why, but I've felt so tired lately. I've been trying to hype myself up all week...but with only minimal success. I feel like my energy is being continuosly drained even as I sleep. Man... I'm sick of being tired. I want to be energetic again! Hmm... what to do...what to do...???
*Sigh* Why is life like this? It's as if everything you do or decide..well...its consequences and outcomes have to be learned the hard way. Why cant we ever control ourselves from picking the wrong decision? Why do we always have to get hurt when learning a life lesson? Why do tears come trickling down from our eyes everytime we get hurt or feel sad? Why does letting go and moving on have to be so hard? Why cant happiness last forever?
I'm pondering deep within myself again... I dont know why I keep asking myself questions which are better left unanswered. Maybe because, life has been a very interesting yet mysterious jewel for me. It tempts me to open up its hidden secrets. To find out its meaning...
Anyways, let me be shallow for a while... hehehe... Weeeee!!! Have you noticed that animated gifs are soooooo cute??? ^___^
Getting around...
August 02,2003
Hehehe...Well, well... what do you know... I'm actually kinda getting the hang of this HTML stuff. Hehehe. ^__^ Really tiring staring at codes the whole time, but hey! I'm getting this! Hopefully, I can get myself some time to improve more on this thing. Hehe.
Anyways, a couple more weeks left of summer vacation and I'm back to school once again. =_= Yikes. I dont even feel like I've had a vacation at all! Sooooo tired.... >___<
Hmmm... I had a strange urge of emailing a couple of my friends in the Philippines last night. God, I miss them so much. Sometimes, I cant help but wonder when I'll be able to see them again. It sure will be fun to be able to hang around with them again like we used to...you know...play basketball at Cuenca park, watch movies and go window shopping at the ATC mall, or just plain hang-out at someone's house... it seems like it's been years since I've done that. =_=
*groans*
Why is it so hot? I feel like I'm being baked in a giant oven. How I wish it would rain...a good, heavy pouring rain... but then again, what are the chances of that? This is Los Angeles, afterall, hardly any rain falls...unlike in the Philippines... wherein when it rains it REALLY RAINS! Hehehe... now that's my type of weather. Heheheh...
Besides, I dont know why, but rain is one of my source of inspiration. Speaking of which, I am in so need of some inspiration nowadays. My brain is just so low on imaginative fuel that it slows me down in my creative writing work for my summer class. Plus, I havent been inspired to draw and write personal creative things anymore. *Sighs*
Help me...=___=

What's this...
July 31,2003
*Yawns* =_=
It's the middle of a really hot summer afternoon. The heat is just too much to bear. >_< It's really HOT, especially outside where the sun is blazing a firey weather. Am I glad that I'm not some dried up plant outside... I would have caught fire by now. Ahh...heat wave! Heat wave! >__< Yikes...
Anyways, finally! It's Thursday.Thursdays are like Fridays to me. It's the last day of my very busy week. My summer's been a bum lately. All I've been doing is attending summer school, basketball practices, and weekly club meetings. In short, it's pretty much boring. =_=
I always have certain plans in my head, but I never end up doing them anyways. So basically, I also have a lot of catching up to do. Bummer.
Man... I miss my friends in the Philippines. *Smiles, remembering the fun old days.* ^___^
So what's up with me lately? Well, some stuff, that's for sure. Hehe. I've also been spending some time with my guy friend, Sydney. Despite his name, he's hispanic. He's a really fun guy to have around, he's sporty, understanding, cute, funny, etc...etc... I met him since my first semester in school, but we only got around to actually talking to each other during the second semester. Nowadays, we hardly see each other because of the fact that we are on different tracks. He's busy in school and football, while I'm busy with my own packed agendas. But when we do get to see each other, we make sure that we at least get some time to talk.
I never thought that I would actually be able to befriend boys. Ever since I was a kid, I've hated them. I've always thought that they were nothing but a whole bunch of unimportant, weak, arrogant, yucky, annoying, creatures. ^__^;; I have to admit, I had been immaturely wrong. (Although, I still think that girls are way better than guys! ^__^) But then again, I've also remembered wishing that I would at least find a boy whom I could be really good friends with... a really good pal...a buddy... you know what I mean. Someone whom I could talk to and would understand me and comfort me. Dont get me wrong, I'm not looking for a boyfriend... I'm just looking for a really good guy friend.
Oh well, I guess I'm dreaming again. But it sure would be nice.
But hey! At least, I'm much friendlier to guys now, unlike before...
Boy: Hi! Nice to meet you, my name is--- uh...
Me: *death glare*
Boy: *backs away* uh...right... I think I'll see ya later then... e-he-he... ^__^;;
Oh well... I'm still not used to the whole thing, but at least I'm learning! Heheheh....

Starting Over...
July 26,2003
Hi again everyone, and am I glad that you've actually made your way to my new blog. ^___^ I'm still quite working on it for the meantime, but hopefully, this will do for a while.
By the way, if you are still interested in exploring my old blog: "Unlock Thine Heart and Mind", feel free to click on the link. (Check out the left side of this blog, under Older Entries.)
Ah... this took quite a while to build-up, since I've kinda forgotten how to work with HTML...but hey! It worked out fine. Heheheh.
If you've noticed, I still have most of the same old stuff, but I have added a Guestbook and deleted my old commenting thingy. Please dont forget to sign it. Thank you! ^__^
Well, that's it for now... I still have to work on a lot of things. Cya! ^___^
