Phone Photo Diary

Hello! Hello!

Last week I realized that I have loads of photos on my phone that I have to transfer in my laptop. And while I was scrolling through all the photos, I just couldn't stop smiling because there are so much memories I had with "The Best Batch Ever". Yes, most of the photos are with them. Oh! Aldrix's selfies rather. Haha, but seriously the photos were so precious that it actually pushed me to upload all of it on facebook but then, I still don't have the guts to upload them, but I can blog them. As I said, there way too much photos on my phone that I can not just blog one by one. So, I've decided to combine them using Photoscape, and I just chose some. Ladies and gentlemen, here is my Phone Photo Diary.

Memories in Pictures

Hello readers! Did you know that I am about to graduate in highschool? Yes, I'm gonna leave my highschool life and will start to live in reality (that's college). All of my friends in highschool will surely remain in my heart forever, whether they are in RIS or AJISD. Our MAPEH teacher, Ma'am Catanus, assigned us to do our own scrapbook that will serve as our project. I made mine twice, because the first one was a total disaster. The one that I passed to Ma'am Cata was effortless and when I got it back, some of the photos fell and was unarranged. So I've decided to remove all of the photos and compile them inside a container. I chose the cookies container which was so cute and has perfect size for all of the photos. Inside of that container are photos that reminds me of my highschool life. I cried, I smile, and I laugh. Well, that is life, we just have to remind ourselves that everything happens for a reason and all of the good and bad things that happened to us during highschool will surely be worth it because we have learned lessons from it. Isn't it exciting looking at the photos in a real photo paper, not just in computer? And compiling all of them together? Someday, when I look back to these photos, I will totally be so happy because I know this is the best part of life. The highschool life wherein you think less and just go with the flow.

God bless you

Visit in Riyadh Int'l School

I went to Riyadh last February 18-19. It was a very memorable "2 days" in Riyadh. I spent almost my "2 days" in my previous school, Riyadh Int'l School. Because of course, my friends are there and I really want to see them. Although I didn't spent a lot of time roaming around Riyadh, I didn't regret that I spent alot of time in RIS. 

It was supposedly a surprise. But my mother told my bestfriend, Nikki, that we were going to visit Riyadh. I didn't got really mad because it is pointless, instead I let her know and didn't care if she'll tell it to the others. When I step-in in RIS, the first fourth year student that I saw was Alpine, and I shout her name twice before she actually notice me. They were so shock that I was there, obviously they didn't knew that I was coming. They gave me a big-warm-tight-and-I-can't-breathe-plus-I-almost-swallowed-my-hair welcome hug. They couldn't believe that I was there because it was like a click when I moved to Dammam and visit again to Riyadh. They told me loads of amazing things that happened when I wasn't there in RIS, and I told them awesome things that happened to me as well. Our principal and I gossip about loads of things. I was so relaxed talking to her, like I wasn't a student in that school before. Why? Is she going to expel me? Haha, I really had fun talking to her, besides she's in a good mood. Plus, she really loves to take picture, maybe she talked to me just to get a picture with me. In all seriousness, I missed her. I love you Ma'am Lorieeeto!

I came early (about 6-7 AM) to RIS on my last day there, I even ate my breakfast at the canteen. Nobody had an idea how much I missed the school canteen of RIS. The canteen have whole bunch of yummy and awesome foods, although their foods are expensive, I can say that it is totally worth it. I also had a sit-in class in AP subject, the teacher was very nice. Ma'am Juvy! She is the SSC's adviser, anyway. The elementary students had the an event called MAPEH Day, which was full of KPOP dancing, maybe only 3 groups who didn't use KPOP song in their routine. Perseus and I, had a class picture number 2 because we were complete. I didn't expected that it'll happen especially that we were with Ma'am Nez and Ma'am Lorie. I feel special, hahakidding, no really, THANKS! At dismissal, they went to the boys section because they have this CAT picture thing which I experienced from last year when I was a COCC. I also went there to get a sneak peek of the boys section. Polaris was there, of course. I was so happy to see them. They waved at me so did I, but only Gelo (my superdupermegaultabestfriend) had the guts to actually go to me and give me at least a high five. He looks different now. Oh well, maturity.

Above all, I really missed RIS and I was so happy to visit there again since September. The school is smaller now, but the memories with my friends there are still bigger than the school. I really love them, because I grew up in that school, I was there for less than 7 years. I was so glad to be back.

Everything happens for a reason. Smile.

My Firsties in January & New Update

Hello there!
My first blog for 2014 is carelessly at the second month of the year. Everyone knows that our internet is rubbish, no need to feel guilty. How's 2014 going in my life? It's absolutely great. January was amazing because there were loads of nice things that happened.

With Charlie Phantom

Charlie Phantom with the other teams

With RN (Best in Presentation and Overall Champion)

Charlie Phantom is my team in bivouac, let me just say that this is my first and last bivouac and I tried my best to make it memorable. So Charlie Phantom was the best team in bivouac for me because of course, it's my team. Haha, seriously, at the beginning we were so awkward especially that I am not friendly at all. And I tried to be because I have to, and turns out that I'm pretty good at trying-hard-to-be-friendly. I love Charlie, although sometimes I get really mad because some of them weren't listening to me, but after few days, they started to pay attention and that was the time when we were starting to be comfortable with each other. 

Bivouac was so fun. First day, we won the game "Tug of War", both boys and girls. Second day, we didn't won any of the games but we had fun. Fancy Drills performance was terrible in our part because it wasn't suppose to be like the performance that they did, it was far away from the routine that they practiced. Haha, but they gave it compliments, thank you. Our presentation was not good as well, haha because we were not ready at all but I guess they had fun dancing, you know what, it was quite nice to dance like I used to in front of loads of eyes that were watching me and having confidence. It's been awhile. We won the awards: Best in Team Sports, Best in Fancy Drills, and Overall First Runner Up. I got the award "Best Group Leader". I'm grateful that I had the opportunity to have an experience like these, I wasn't expecting for my entire life in highschool to attend an event like this and the fact that I stayed overnight in school for bivouac. It was really memorable. Thanks AJISD.

Preparing for EPPSAM

Tigers claim their trophy

Opening of EPPSAM's venue was in IPSA (International Philippine School in Al Khobar), here's an another "firsty", it was an event of three school here in this place competing in different kinds of sports. Cheerdance competition was completely drop jaw. IPSA (Scios), AAIS (Lions), and AJISD (Tigers) had awesome performances. Tigers won the championship of the competition, honestly they really did a great job, they were 3rd year students of AJISD and I am proud of them that they won this competition. Go Tigers! My friends and I had an intermission number where in we dance a remix music that Divine mixed. It was my first time to perform in other school so I tried to give all my energy and put a real smile on face (because hello, we were presenting our school, we have to look good, this is AJISD guys), I am so grateful. Let me just input that a friend of mine from Riyadh, Ahmad, was there. I didn't expected that he was there, great to see him although I don't like his little face. Hi Ahmad! Haha. I met loads of people and I don't remember their names anymore. It was so fun although I had an anxiety all the time during that event. But it was worth it because it was a new experience. Yay.

With Bea and Prince of AJISD 2006                                                With Chummy and Princess of AJISD 2006 (Divine)

Searching for Prince and Princess: Coronation Night was a unique event for me, and it was amazing. Divine did a great job of handling that event. Little contestants was so cute, wearing their gowns and suits, wearing their sports outfit, and their "trying to be pro cat walk" was so so so cute that I just want to pinch them. They were so cute. The new Prince and Princess of AJISD deserved their award because they really did a great job besides, they are good looking. Congratulations! That was a firsty again. Thank you AJISD for giving me loads of new experiences. Thank you. I love AJISD.

January was amazing, I hope this will continue til the end of the year. I wish that I could've just write everything that has happened, I would've sat here all day writing everything but I think it is not appropriate anymore because I can not just expose my life. That is why, I just blogged a little summary of what happened in January. I hope everyone had an amazing beginning of the year as much as I did. 

See you in my next blogee. Always remember that everything happens for a reason!

Hello 2014: Hope of a New Year

2012 was a very tough year for me and I promised myself that in 2013, I will do everything that I can to make this year magical. So, I would like to reminisce every wonderful scenarios that are still vivid in my memories. I will definitely never forget all of those wonderful moments, because they are worth keeping for.

As I have said, my 2012 year was somehow ugly and it wouldn't be possible for me to go on with my miserable life without my friends beside me. They were there for me, to comfort me and do every stupid things that they can to make me happy. Junior life ended this year and everything was just getting good. I felt that this year will really be a good one. Before it ended, I have this Mead composition notebook where almost all of my batch mates wrote/drew anything they wanted. And for me, it was a nice memorabilia. To those who took their time to write in my mead.. Thank you! I promise I will never lose it no matter how reckless I am. I love everything in there. I will truly keep it forever.

I used to blog in Tumblr and then I realized that it kinda doesn't fit in with the whole reblogging photos, so I made this blog to just write anything I wanted to broadcast, write things as they happen that you might find them interesting. In all seriousness, I made this blog to write nice memories and when I get older I will come back and read all of them. You have no idea how exciting that is for me, although I think I will be real embarrassed to all the things that I have blogged but the amazing thing is, I have something that will always remind me of my good times before I go to college or before I get married. It's just nice to have a blog. Honestly, I love blogging because it makes me happy in some way. Maybe, you should start blogging. After you read this entire blog, you sign up to blogger.com and tell me your URL because I will definitely be glad and honor to read your blog. Just remember, it doesn't have to be real interesting, you have to write your thoughts out and be happy about it.

The beginning of my Senior year was amazing, seeing my friends again was a great feeling because I just got out of my prison-home. Great opportunity came in, being the President of Student Council, and that wouldn't be possible without my Monster's University Family. I made a blog about them before, so I guess that I'm not going to input much information about them. They're just amazing and they're like my sisters. Yes, they are all ladies. I love you, my Lil' Monsters. (Link) July came by and everything was so amazing, not just because it is my fave month. It's just, I have realize that it was really a great month. Check my blog about it: Click here

My first and last Science Fair (I guess) was incredible, in fact Perseus class was the committee organizers, though it was our first time and it was kinda hassle, we still didn't let Sir Raul down otherwise he'll surely give us a massive slap in the face (no, just kidding). For me, it was a great opportunity to be part of the Science Fair and thanks to Sir Raul for giving us that opportunity. I learned that some fruits are capable of lighting a bulb, at first it was sorta unbelievable for me but when we lit it. All I can say was "Woah!". It was a busy and fun day for us.

My last performance in RIS before I went here in Dammam was performing Jazz Dance. My group was very cooperative and because of that, our performance was great although we have given a little amount of time to practice. I wanted it to be a good one because it was my last so I did my best to finish our routine as soon as possible and I did. Actually, it wasn't a competition, it was just a practical examination. Realizing that it was my last performance in RIS in that moment was heartbreaking but at least, I did my best and made our performance great and our practice days (thighs-and-legs-sore days) memorable.

See You Soon Party was unforgettable. It was my last day of exam in RIS, last day of wearing my RIS uniform, last day of sneak peek of the school, last day of seeing all the students in Girl's Section, and last day of being with Perseus Ohana. My Monster's Univ family was the first one to surprise me. Some of the officers of SSC had their own speech for me, and it was so flattering. The last one who made a speech was Nikki, one word for her, dramatic. Haha. Then, we finally ate the cake. I have to admit that the cake was impressively delicious. Out of the blue, Ms. Nez (our adviser) came in and gave me a little present that I consider as a remembrance from her. It was a boxed Beauty Rush-Juiced Berry collection (Body 3-in-1 wash for shower, bubble bath and hair, Body drink lotion, and Lip gloss) and a Revlon baby purple lips stick. I was so happy that she gave me those although I'm not a beauty-ish person. It was just flattering to receive a present from my teacher. Jenny also gave me a memorabilia, it was a ring, and she said that she made it for me, it was her hobbie. Next surprise party was from Perseus which I expected, there was an intermission number, we played games, and we have snow sprays to play with. I received lots of hugs before I went to ATIS (Al Taj Int'l School) to visit Bhe (Pamela Locsin).

I went to ATIS with Nikki and Fhar. Nikki was with me because she wanted to, and it was hard for me to allow her but in the end, I still did allow her. She's a brat. When we arrived in Bhe's school, we had no idea if she was still there or how to contact her besides I don't have a cellphone. Thank goodness, I saw one of her classmate and asked her if she may call Bhe for me. Bhe was walking forward to us then I hugged her. She invited us to go to her classroom, I said yes because why not. When we got there, she has only one classmate left, Bhe introduced me to her. After that, Bhe called Ms. Zeny (a former teacher in my school), I was so happy to see her again because she is one of my favourite teachers and she is just literally so nice and smart.

When we finally got home, my mother was surprised to see Nikki with me because I didn't had a chance to tell her. Nikki gave me a Candymag magazine and the entire magazine was about Daniel Padilla. You have no idea how much I freaked out at that moment, I couldn't breathe so well because I kept on screaming how happy I am. Nikki, thank you so much. Love youu. Plus, it has a huge poster of Daniel Padilla. I love it so much. Then, my mother ordered pizza and broasted chicken, it was so yum yum and I actually miss it now.

I would like to input a real nightmare. I was at school for a review class. We had an hour break, and we decided to play the game in Conjuring movie (it was the clap-clap thingy), I was the one who'll find them with my eyes closed. Stupidly, I hit my face to the wall especially my lips. I had an unskinned part on my upper lip and lower lip and I have to admit that it was massively painful that I can not stop myself from crying so hard like a baby. Just an advice, never play that game if you are stupid.

My new friends here are awesome, they completed my year. I want my friends in Riyadh to meet them because I'm sure they will gonna love them as much as I do. Our Foundation Day was recent this December. In high school, it was a cheer dance competition. Aquilas was Senior's name in cheer dance. Practicing all day in one week was hard but worthy because everyone was very cooperative. And because of that event, I can feel that I am already comfortable with them. Honestly, at first it was hard for me to communicate with them because I'm shy and afraid of being judged. But getting along with them in loads of time makes me realize that they are easy to hang out with and there is nothing wrong if I show them the real me.

I love this year so much. There are so many things that happened whether it was good or bad, everything was just worth it. All the things that happened this year made me learned my lessons, made me strong, made me believe that giving up is never a choice, made me move on with my life, made me solve my problems, and made me who I am now; A strong, happy, and contented girl that never gonna hurt herself again no matter what. Those people who stood beside me for better or for worst are the most important people in my life. I am a drama queen and crazy but you guys are still there for me. I couldn't thank you enough, but thank you so much. To those who hurt me, thank you so much for hurting me at least now, I am stronger. Don't worry, I don't have bad feelings for you because I'm happy for who I am now and I'm happy that it happened, it was worth it, I promise. I still hope that you guys had a very nice year as much as I did. Those scars are healed now, that wouldn't be possible without those important people in my life.

If you think that this year was tough for you. Remember that there is still beauty in this world and it is magical. Before midnight in New Year's Eve, I want you to promise yourselves that 2014 will be a great year and you will do everything that you can to make it a real great year. Or make a New Year's Resolution list, it will not hurt you to try. Although I didn't made one, but I just thought that maybe it will work for others because seriously, it doesn't work for me.

Honestly, I don't wanna let go of this year because it has been a magical year. I'm a bit scared of 2014 because of college and I have no idea what will happen to me in the Philippines, and Philippines is a big scary place for me. For my future's sake, I will do everything to survive college in the Philippines, besides God is there to give me strength. So before we celebrate the New Year, it wouldn't hurt us if we sit back and remember our achievements and mistakes. I love New Year because it reminds me of getting another chance, a chance to get great opportunities, to forgive, to do better, to do more, to give more, to love more, and to stop worrying of what ifs. When it's 11:59 PM in New Year's Eve, never forget that there will always be hope and this is it, the hope of a new year.

Have a nice year. Advance Happy New Year! God bless.
Always remember that everything happens for a reason.
