God, this sucks big time! I can accept defeat if we lose fairly. But can we call our game against Purefoods fair? Seriously, watch the game we just HAD TO PAINFULLY endure a while ago and you know what I'm talking about. What the hell is up with the PBA? Is it the San Miguel basketball corporation or something? Gosh, especially this one ref, si bansot. He actually had the nerve to change the desision of the other referees. He must NEVER officiate again!!! Can't Purefoods win on their own? Where's their pride? All the games they won are FLUKES. Period.  And their amazing coach boasts to newspapers that all credit goes to their team! C'mon dude, thank the refs, they did all the work. We needed one, just one more game to get in to the finals, but they deprived us from that. Fine, be that way. Atleast I know that we don't need the help of the referees or the PBA to win a game. Go Alaska Aces!!! FInish it on Friday!!! (please?! :)

On a lighter note, congrats to Joy Cortez! It's a boy!!!

Argh, I'm like depressed. Damn, we have to win on Friday! Please God!!!!! AGHHH!!!! Play like the way you played against Purefoods when we won! Beautiful, exciting, hard earned games. WIN!!!!!!!!!!! (iyan kasi, i forgot my lucky charm, the LOTR ring!!! It really works! One game ko palang nagamit, last Sunday and we won!!!)

 And we have another chinese teacher. I am absolutely terrified of her. Fire her sr. Dina!!! Before she starts hurting us or something... yeah, that scary!!!

Though there is one thing or rather, one person, who makes me feel happy and giddy.  I won't say who, only my barkada and a selected few know. If this leaks, I'll be embarassed forever! But I trust this people that they won't tell!!! And yes, he's taken and not exactly young. Duh, what's new?

For those offended with what I said, sorry nalang. Better let it out my chest lang. Too much, is too much.

Just wanna share my icons! Some are pretty, some are inspirational and some are just, er, weird and unusual. Hope you guys enjoy them!!!


(Hufflepuff? It's a school thang! Actually, I'm the only proud one... hehe

What's Your Hidden Talent?

YES!!! Alaska finally made it to the semis! In a very grueling, heart stopping quarter finals series against Coke, we finally made it! The last time we made it to the semis was when we were still in Coke, which was 3 years ago. I'm just soooo happy! We were back in Alaska for 2 years now, and we always did have a chance yet now, the team is just amazing. I love how unselfish the team is and everyone gets along well. Ok, the quarters was a best of 5 series, which means we have to win 3 games in order to go to the semis. The first game, which was 2 Wednesdays ago, was simply unbelievable. COke was ahead by 20 points at the first half even in the 3rd quarter. I was both optimistic and pessimistic. We started the 4th quarter not with the bang that we needed to win. BUT, never say never! Alaska just bounced back at the last 6 minutes! One who made such a difference was WILLIE MILLER! And of course, the game's savior Nic Belasco! Ok, the last minute my coripot godfather (haha) Johnny Abarrientos, was given freethrows. He made one. They made a shot, so they were ahead by 2. After a few seconds, he was given freethrows AGAIN. BUt the most unbelievable of things happened, he missed both of them. Johnny Abbarientos does NOT miss freethrows!!! SO 10 seconds was left, then, Nic Belasco made a 3 point shot!!! Now, you'd know how happy we were! (happy is an understatement!) God, beautiful!!! We won the 2nd game, which was also heart pounding, lost the 3rd then won the 4th which was on Wednesday. AND MY DAD PLAYED!!! I was screaming when I saw him! And I was laughing hysterically! He made a shot, had assists and FORCED A GUY TO MAKE A TURNOVER!!!! YEAHHHHHH!!!!! lol.

On a different topic, I wasn't able to update last month because I was at Hong Kong for two weeks with Tita Judy, TIto Warner, Ama Shirley and my cuz, Colin! It was sooo fun! SHOPPING, EATING and SHOPPING!!! We even went to Ocean Park! YEAH! SO FUN!

Summer is over, unfortunately, and school started last week. I am now officialy a freshman! I got to hang out with my wonderful barkada once again! I love you guys SOOO much! SO many laughtrips, especially today. (Ala, English class. POSSESSED!!! MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH! Love english and the movie games stuff! Ms. Valencerina is funny! And yesterday, the two Stefs were acting weird and was doing "military missions". hahahahahahahha.WE ARE ALL CRAZY!!! ANd we're always laughing! Esp. Kat Gaw the couple of days. Usually I'm the drunk one, though I think I did act a LITTLE tipsy in school today!) Though HS life is SLIGHTLY different from elementary (slightly?!) I'm trying to adjust. We already had quizzes this week AND tons of homework! But I'm proud of myself, because I managed to do all of them! haha. MY ICA planner really helps! hehehe. The teachers are nice, our adviser is cool (former ICAN). Our books are fewer than the last years, that's for sure (though thicker!) Another important thing about HS is your EXTRA CURRICULAR ACTIVITIES, clubs and organizations. Well, I am very disapointed because I didn't pass Glee Club auds(don't ask) and that was like my major goal this year! Argh... Anyway, gonna audition for Dance Troupe on Monday, I joined the Events commitee. So plan to do lots in High School because its fun AND it'll look good on my college resume. :) Congrats to KAT GAW for getting in the Drama Guild!!! AND VOTE FOR KAT GAW FOR SC ASST. SECRETARY!!! haha, early campaining! I just think high School is gonna be a blast and my mom did say it's the best time of your lives. Not even INITIATION will change that. Jeez, why are people getting so worked up with initation?!?!!? For those who do not know what initiation is, it's a sort of "welcoming rite" to the freshmen from the seniors. ANd by that i mean, we sorta get to be their slaves for a day, like make us dress in crzy costumes and put us in weird makeup and make us do things like sing in front of people or something. Maybe its just me but it's nothing to be scared of!!! Or maybe its just me. lol.

I have a new liking. People who know me know that one of the sports that I despise is soccer(or football for you Europeans). BUt now, I caught World Cup mania since HOng Kong!!! hahahahaha. One, HK loves football and keeps promting WOrld CUp. two, I watched GOAL! ANd three, SOCCER PLAYERS ARE SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO HOTTTTT!!! Gad! THe best looking athletes are not BBALL players, Baseball players or even American footballers, soccer players are the real deal. And one thing that's really amazing is that these good looking dudes are the best at what they do! you have to be REALLY good! Not just Beckham (HOT!) Esp. the SOuth AMericans, Italians and Spanish. sigh. Hell, almost the whole of Europe, the players are hot! Ok, my vote for the World Cup? Brazil (not too many cute players but they're AMAZING!), England and Germany. Italy also has my vote! DAmn! Love south americans! ESPECIALLY SANTIAGO CABRERA! An actor, and get this, he was supposed to be a soccer player! HE's in goal 2 and he is sooo guwapo!!!! He's from Chile! His looks are just impossible to describe... It's just... sigh

Speaking of hotties, I watched my man Hugh Jackman's film, X3. I love it. No, I ADORE THE FILM! I was really anticipating it and trust me, I was even more pleased than I would've expected. It was slightly short though... hugh was top notch, but the Xmen films jsut keep finding cute guys now do they. Aaron Stanford (Pyro) is back and I always liked him since X2. And Ben FOster, who plays Angel, sigh, how cute is he! Nad he is an incredible actor! If you watched his past films, you wouldn't believe he played Angel. Seriously. Iw atched the Punisher and Hostage and I was stunned. HE was amazing Hostage. He did very well in  X3, if only he had more scenes... Oh well, atleast we get  to see his chest! (gets hit in the head) OW! hahahaha. freakin' teenage hormones... hehe

Summer started about two weeks ago. The first few days I did nothing but laze around and I think I watched a game. Oh yeah, I did and we lost. haha. Anyhow March  31 was our report card day. My grades are actually good except for math. And chinese. It sucks, but I can't do anyhting about it any more. Saw some of my friends in school, so that made it fun.

Nathan's Alaska powercamp started at April 2. I wanted to come like last summer so  I had to wake up like about 6:00. Reminds me a lot like school days yet I didn't have to be THAT early. I hate waking up that early, but I wanted to do something so I made a sacrifice. haha. Waking up that early was definitely worth it. Me, Kitkat and Boodie had our usual fun and laughtrips. We watched Nathan and Jay's games, and Nathan (I think) won. hahaha. The powercamp is at the Ateneo covered courts. And I thought, can we bring our dogs? Turns out we can. SO the next session, which was the following Wednesday, I brought my toy poodle MINNIE to the powercamp. I was rather nervous and excited because I thought baka bawal. But it wasn't. So we played with her Minnie being there It hink made powercamp more fun, for us anyway. haha. Tito Jeff also went and we chatted with him. I swear, he's like the few players that I actually talk to. I mean, I greet the others naman, but you know, I'm obviously not close to them. Like I want to I mean, I'll just be friends with their kids. hahahahahaha. Speaking of basketball, there was a game against Sta Lucia in ynares last friday. I had high expecations for this game. But it turned to dust. Yeah. We lost against Sta Lucia. I know. Weird. Do not ask why. The good news was that daddy played!!! ANd scored 2 points!!! BWAHHAAHAH!!! Pathetic, I know. But that was the first time he played this conference! ANd it's not like he's being used a lot, unlike before. After the game, we ate at Valley Golf. Very good food. Saturday, now that was an EXTREMELY FUN DAY!!!! There was a party at the Cariaso's celebrating two events. One is their very cute baby's baptism reception and Javie's Graduation party. My day started with fetching Nathan from Powercamp. The party starts at 4:00 but we left at about 4:30. (It's not like we have to be exactly early). We finally reached their house and several people were already there. Tito Jeff said that the Bachmann girls were playing in his room so I went there. We had fun until more and more kids started coming. I was like a yaya the whole night. But it was soooo fun! The kids were soooo cute!!! Kitkat and I were like "trying" to control them and in between, vain pictures were being taken. I was especialy keen on Marley, the Dela Cruz's son, and became his yaya for the day. lol. I love the kids! hehe. It was a great party!

Right now, I'm keen on a certain anime (say it isn't so!) Alice Academy! I just LOVE IT! I mean, I dislike anime so I don't know what drew me to watch this. And the first episode I watched was the first episode of the season. It's fate. I'm soooo kilig over it! Gah! Still love the Hunchback of Notre Dame.:)

Can't wait for BOb's swimming party! It's nice to finally swim and go out and see the friends again. Whoopee!

"Graduation" was the word of the month. The whole of March, the entire Grade 7 toiled and suffered (haha) just in order to make the Graduation ceremony perfect. If such word was possible. But anyway, basically majority of us did want a good graduation but we didn't want it to be too choreographed and too staged that the excitement runs out and ends up looking like the Holocoaust. Seriously, the teachers wanted every detail PERFECT. Sure I'd want it to be "perfect" but at what extent will they go to? Yet I'm happy to say it is indeed a success. First off, I once again will sing the freakin' Responsorial Psalm. And I was hella nervous. Even more nervous than the one in Confirmation. And I was so concious about it, that I didn't even scream in the basketball game before the day itself. (well, tried anyway. hahaha)

So my day started at about 6:30. Took a bath, fixed my hair and all that jazz. I had to be in school early because I had to vocalize at school. I went there at about 7:30. Met up with Pam and Mindy, the First Reading reader. haha. Talked with them for a while then more people started showing up. Still no Mrs. ilo (music teacher). Then after a few minutes, she was there looking slightly stressed. Who could blame her? We went to the kinder music room (with aircon!!!) and I vocalized there and practiced the song "Ito ang Araw". After that we went back to the line formation on where all the grade 7 should be. They were vocalizing (haha) and was being given last minute instructions. Then the Graduation Marching song was sounded. Me and Mindy were hella nervous. She was even more nervous than I am! I'm like, atleast you don't have to sing!!! hahaha. So the mass started and my hands were getting very clammy. Mindy began to read as I  began to practice the song. Then it was my turn. Gee, I'm getting nervous just typing about it! lol. But I thought I did ok, so no self hating here! After my turn, it was one of the comic reliefs of the whole ceremony. Miss Edudulion(is that how you spell her name?!!?) is going to read the second reading. Everyone was ready to laugh. ANd laugh they did, silently anyway. Why is it funny? Well, this particular teacher happens to have a very funny and weird accent and you can sometimes not understand what she was saying. hahaha. We're mean, we know. Then the mass continued and it was good. After the mass, the National anthem played and they were explaining the whole Distribution of Diplomas stuff. Like the fact that you can only applaud every section, not by person. Weird noh? Anyhow, I was part of the first ten and we all felt like laughing. Don't ask why. I got my diploma and tried to be as "graceful" as I can. Unfortunately, I had a little blunder which I didn't even notice until I sat down. It was like an embarassing one, just weird. hahaha. I had to wait a whole HOUR!!! Since I was done. Then they gave the awards (Kat Gaw won the Leadership Award!!!) After the awarding, we had to sing the school song and the Graduation song, "Like and Eagle". Everyone moaned and groaned. hahaha. Overall, it was nice. After that everyone was congratulating each other, giving each other hugs and taking last minute pics.

My family, Ama Shirley and Tito Ralph celebrated at Italianese. Dinner. FOOD I LOVE!!!!! YUM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! hahahahahaha. Graduation is cool. ehhehe, weird, I know.

Ok, in a span of nearly 7 weeks several events have transpired so I'll try to make it as interesting and as interesting as possible.

Plays- In a span of 2 days we did two plays. February 18 and 20. One was the selfish giant in Friday. The other was the HONK! encore we did two times on Monday for the Kinder and Prep. The Selfish Giant was for me, the most fun because I had two parts and it wasn't a lead role anymore. And it was actually pretty comedic. The Selfish Giant I would say is a success. THe HONK! encore on the other hand... The second one we did on the afternoon was WAAAAY better than the first one we did that morning. That morning, teacher was ready to kill. Well for one thing, we had one day to rehearse. Atleast we remebered our lines and songs. But that was the LEAST of our problems. The grade 6 weren't in the play because they had a CEM thing to do. SO it was all up to the Grade 7 and the very konti Grade 5. That was a major problem because the lead character, Ugly, -played by the very adorable Ivy- was Grade 6. I know. What a Greek tragedy! haha. SO Diane had to play Ivy. In teacher's words, she was horrible. THe play was horrible. So we had to make bawi the afternoon show. In my opinion, it was the best show we've done in the whole year but the ANNOYING audience was soooo no reaction. We were already making jokes and they'd just STARE at you. haaay... But teacher, now in a MUCH better mood, said it was better than the original play we did the month before. So whoopee! So the that Tuesday, it was not our play anymore, it was the High School's very own Drama Guild and their adaptation of The Hunchback of Notre Dame. This was the start of my love sickness. haha. More on that later. DG also did the Beauty and the Beast last year and I think they're going to do this annualy, which is good because they are really good at what they do. So we were all situated at DTASC na and put on our seats. Katabi ko sila Jpu, Lareina, Megan and Bico and some others. Because of that play started a whole new other alter ego. Natasha and JPU is Mario Janello!!! Megano is our priest who married us in secret! lol. Anyway, moving on, I expected the play to be good. Actually, I hardly expected anything. My friend Kara was more excited about it. After the play, I fell in love. HOLY CRAP! It was sooooooo amazing! The only thing that ruined the movie for me was the very poor sound system. Oh well... Hunchback is the only Disney classic cartoon that I don't remember watching! SO watching the play was like my first time. And I love it! My favorite character is Phoebus, the captain who works for Frollo the bad guy. I lovvve him! At first he sees kinda gago-ish(WTF?!) and slightly cocky and smooth, but really he's noble and a very good guy. His love story with Esmeralda IS SOOO nakakakilig! shet! SO Kat gaw lent me the tape on the the 28th at DOmi's Issa's party (which I STILL haven't returned yet) And my love for it just skyrocketed! I make sure to watch it atleast 5 times a week! haha. Here is the info I got on Phoebus and Esmeralda's love story-

"And the way they kiss! The passion in that kiss is rarely seen in animation. They start out with a chance meeting on the morning of the Festival of Fools. I wouldn't quite call it "love at first sight," but they are definitly intruiged by each other from the start (as you can see by the way they look at each other). For Phoebus, Esmeralda is simply the most amazing person he's ever come across; it's easy for him to fall in love with her beauty, her courage, her sympathy, and her mystique. Only one little drawback: his boss is telling him to seek her out and arrest her. But behind Frollo's back, he grabs little opportunities to help Esmeralda get away. For Esmeralda, the story is a bit more complicated. He's a soldier. Soldiers are the enemy. But no matter how much she tries to deny it, she keeps growing more facinated with him. And every attempt she makes to get him off her back seems to draw him closer to her."

haha. You all know I did my research on THAT one! I absolutely adore the movie! And it made me love Disney movies once again. I just realize now that Disney cartoons (atleast the ones before) can be enjoyed by every single age. YOu'll like it as a kid because, well, it's a cartoon. Yet when you watch it in a more mature age, you realize that these movies contain very deep meanings which make it more meaningful and you love it more. THe themes of the movies are so beautiful and the songs are just utterly fantastic. I love Disney cartoons even more now. I watched all the Disney cartoons we have everyday. It was very normal for me to watch 1 or two disney cartoons a day. Which is then followed by Huncback. hehe. I watched one of my favorite Disney movies of all time, Beauty and the Beast. I never cried when I watched. When I watched it... I cried in three freakin' parts! One was the parts BEast sets Belle free, one was his death scene and their whole converstaion and the last was the ending! I watched it again after a week, I STILL CRIED IN THOSE SAME PARTS! Especially when he died... God... BEAUTIFUL! This is even more pathetic. AFter watching Snow White, I watched the death scene, and ONLY the death scene, and I still cried! ahahahahahha. Going back to Hunchback, I am thoroughly in love with the songs. My current song is the BElls of Notre Dame! Esepecially the last part where Clopin (the King gypsy) sing the numerous bells before he sings in my opinion, of the best things I have ever heard, the notes of BELLS OF NOTREEEE DAAAAAAAAAME! IT WAS SO FREAKING HIGH! yet it was so easy for him! I love his voice! haha.

Wrestling- AHAHAHAHAHAH! I WATCHED THE WWE LIVE!!! This just proves that wishes do come true! It all happened February 25, 2006. Bea Co and Bea Chu went to my house so we can make posters. We went to the attic in which I forced them to watch The Hunchback of Notre Dame! haha. After that I changed and we drove to ARaneta.And it was traffic when we were already near the place so we just walked there. MAny people were there at the gate and Iw as sooo annyoyed and I was also tense because we were supposed to meet at Starbucks but Jaz was still finding which gate and KAt gaw was just on the way. SO ANNOYED! lol. JAnine and her folks were already inside. So we finally met and ww were walking around Araneta and I was already very pissed because I was like the carrier of the tickets and sorta like the organizer of the whole thing. We got to the place we were gonna sit and I saw Janine in the 5 thou seats, I didn't know it then but Iw as pretty sure that wasn't our seats, I asked asked the usher where our seats were and I was already very annoyed. We were seated finally, in EXTREMELY GOOD SEATS! We were right beside the barricade where the wrestlers entered!!! The show started and it was the one of the greatest things that has ever happened to me! It was Pure entertainment!!! Not to mention we had very good seats. To prove how good our seats are, WE WERE ABLE TO CLAP THE HANDS OF THE WRESTLERS! I CLAPPED VAL VENIS' HAND! That was certainly very exciting for all of us! WWE is sooo cool! But one of the coolest parts happened after the show. I was slightly disappointed that I wasn't able to meet a single wrestler and I decided to hang around a little while because I had a feeling we were going to meet someone. SO it was only me, Nathan, Bea Co and Bea chu( they're going home with me) and several other fans. Then, MICK FOLEY, yes, MICK FOLEYS HEAD POPS OUT OF THE CURTAIN!!!! And we were like beside it and the two bea's were like "MICK! Autograph!" and stuff like that. He kindly obliged then soon everyone was asking. I GOT AN AUTOGRAPH!!!! But BICO IS SOOOO LUCKY! SHE GOT HIS SHIRT! The one he wore earlier, mind you. It was like this: Bea Co- "Mick, can I have your shirt?" Mick- YOu sure? It's sweaty. Bea Co- "OK LANG!!!!"

lucky bitch... hahahaahahah. What a very enjoyable experience. I'll never, EVER forget it! Especially the fact that Araneta made a beautiful mistake regarding our seats and we were put on better ones! lol.

I'm selling CHOCOLATE COVERED PULVORON and school... ANd I didn't expect it to be succesful. hahaha. My mom talaga... hehehhe. They would just charge even if we're doing our Science project! hahahaha. I'm even selling packs! hahhahaa. So for those who want, do not hesitate to buy! 1 is 10 pesos and 2 is 18 pesos. 1 pack (a dozen) is 108 pesos.... hahaha, JOKE! crazy bussineswoman... Speaking of numbers, i'm passing my math quizzes!!! Algebra is sorta fun! Hey! Before you start laughing your  heads off it's true! lol.

As the title says, I'm finally a Confirmed Catholic.

!

 After all those rather boring CLE lessons and practices I was COnfirmed last Saturday. Ok, and not only was I Confirmed, I had a solo! I sang the Responsorial Psalm! I was told by our Music teacher 2 fridays before the Confrirmation day and she taught me on the spot, at our first practices. And the song is really funny and I was nervous as hell. The general practices were held last week, which we practiced everything, INCLUDING MY SOLO!!! Sheet, I was soooo nervous!!! The first reader, who is Keisha, is my main source of comfort. That is, she was before me so no one can help ease my nerves when it was my turn. I made new friends during practices and of course, made loko my katabi like VIVIEN! hahaha! Anyhow, Saturday. Let me tell you, when I woke up, my heart beat quickened and I had a hard time breathing. I was hyperventilating! Aghh, so I got up and practiced the damn song (I swear, my friends can't get enough of it) then I dressed to my COnfirmation dress (which was PUKEY!) then got to school at about 1:00. Before that there were some problems with one of my sponsors, whomI will identify later, then blah. So anyway, the procession, I was the first to walk with my parents (which caused a SLIGHT stir) then walked back again becaus I have to walk AGAIN because I'm singing the Responsorial Psalm. Then I saw my mom walk in with dun dun dun dun, one of my sponsors. I became even more nervous than I already was. Then Keisha was done and it was MY TURN!!! Crap! I thought I did well though. hehe. Well, that's what the people said. Anyway, after the GOspel and stuff it was the Annointing. So I had to walk with my sponsors. So who are my sponsors? Well, it's ninang Beth Tamayo and Senator Bong Revilla. YES! I know... Craap! Sikat! haha. But they're really nice and Ninong Bong raw cancelled 2 appointments for the confrimation raw! Sweet noh? But I didn't see the people's reactions, I was just told. hahaha. That was a fun affair, in which I have never been more nervous in my life, but still. It was worth it!!! I got COnfirmation gifts from my sponsors, money, and well, let's just say I'm very happy! haahha! SO after that, we ate dinner at North PArk Kopi Tiam. the food was very good, busog ako! wooh! hehehe!

Anyhow, watched Munich. WOW. Unbelievable! Go Eric Bana!!!

Got some sad news though, and at my PARENT's wedding anniversary pa last week. Brandon cablay is not part of Alaska anymore. He is traded, along with Mark Kong, to SMB for of all people, Nic Belasco. Just... I'm soo speechless. This guy... WHY???!?!?!?!?!?!?!!??!?! We'll miss you B and Tris!!!!(sigh) But dad says mas malakas raw ang team...Oh well... They have to be Champions this year. Got some sad news again, regarding my dad. I'm not going to post it here, but this team really has to be champions this conference. Pray people, pray... Anyway back to the Wedding Anniversary, we ate at Chili's... YUM!!!!!!! I LOVE CHILLI'S!!!!! MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHA!
