nag-adventure kami kahapon sa enchanted kingdom.
mga 1:00 na kami nakaalis tas nakapasok kami sa enchanted kingdom, 4:30 na. traffic kasi dun sa may entrance. kala ko nga di na kami makakapasok kasi sarado na yung main gate at puno na. naiinis na nga ako kasi nag-aaway pa nanay at tatay ko tungkol dun. kesyo dapat daw di na kami pumunta, reklamo tungkol sa traffic. like we could do anything about it. i seriously wanted to write a big "don't cry over spilled milk" sign at ipakita sa kanila. buti tumigil.
4:30 kami andun, 5:00 kami nakapasok. grabe. wish ko talaga makapunta dun with my friends nang hindi ganoon kadami ang tao. anyway, flying fiesta muna kami. dun pa lang mga 30 minutes na kami sa pila. asar pa kasi bad trip yung nasa likod ko, ang ingay magkwento, tas naniniksik pa e kataba-taba nya *i'm so mean*. pero enjoy naman yung ride. kahit mga 2 minutes lang siya. it's crazy how people line up for about 30 minutes to an hour just for a 2-3 minute ride. but maybe that's why amusement park rides are so fun. because you waited so long for it that when your turn finally comes, you're really happy.
after nun, space shuttle na dapat. kaya lang nagloko yung space shuttle, tumigil na naman. so nag-close muna siya. nanlulumo na ko non dahil yun pa naman ang gustong-gustong-gusto kong sakyan, and it looked like i was never going to be able to ride that. nag-anchor's away muna kami. grabe mga 1 hour kami naghintay dun. dami pang pasaway sa pila. ang linaw ng mga rules na nakasulat: no sitting or standing on the queue railings. no line jumping/line reservation. no smoking. but there were a lot of people sitting on the railings. and there were people who did the line reservation thingy. meron ding mga nagyoyosi. i was so pissed. kaya di naunlad pilipinas e. simpleng rules lang di pa masunod. okay lang kung wala silang naiistorbo, pero meron. like those fucking people who smoked. di man lang nila ma-take into consideration na baka may taong katulad ko na ayaw ng cigarette smoke. yun lang talaga yung nakakainis. when it was finally our turn, i was really happy. the ride was about 3 minutes and it was fun. really fun, especially because our waiting time was double the time we spent waiting for our turn on our first ride.
then dinner muna. we saw that they were testing the space shuttle so i was really hopeful na buksan uli nila. after all, the roller coaster, aside from the ferris wheel, is the main feature of an amusement park. true enough, nagbukas siya right after we had dinner. swerte na rin yung tumigil siya kanina, kasi mas umikli pila namin. haha. 1 hour din kaming nag-intay, pero kung di siya nag-close at nag-reopen, malamang mga 2 hours kami dun sa dami ng tao. i was so excited! when our turn finally came, i went to sit dun sa second row. sayang gusto ko sana sa unahan kaso naunahan na kami. but it was ok. we originally planned to pose for the camera [talagang nilocate namin kung nasan yung camera haha] but then wala rin. the ride was so exciting i kept laughing and shouting all through out. the best yung loops! especially dun sa paatras naman kayo. feeling mo talaga malalaglag ka. nakakaadik grabe! mas matindi pa to kesa dun sa 'the dragon' ng ocean park hong kong. dun dalawang loops lang at walang paatras. the best tong space shuttle. gusto ko nga umulit e, kung di lang ganun kahaba yung pila.
tapos pahinga muna. nag-fireworks display at 10 PM. and though it was a really simple one [walang binatbat dun sa mga ginagawa ng moa at sa pyrolympics], i appreciated it. i don't know but i really like fireworks. parang rides din kasi. they're very expensive, maganda pero ilang seconds lang ang tinatagal.
pagkatapos nun dun kami sa kart trak. i initially wanted to drive too, but my dad was afraid for me dahil ang bibilis daw nung mga nasa race track. e hindi naman ako marunong pa, and it was my first time. so i decided na dun na lang kami sa 2-seater ng ate ko, syempre siya driver. may nakaaway pa kami dun sa pila. pano kasi ang gugulo nila, di malaman kung sasakay o hindi. wala pa palang ticket yun [may additional fee kasi sa kart trak] kaya sumingit na ate ko. aba pinaringgan ba naman kami. tas deadma pa daw kami. bad trip talaga. ayoko kasi nung pinariringgan ako. kung may gusto kang sabihin, idiretso mo sa mukha ko. kala ko naman, may ticket na sila. yun pala wala. kung nalaman ko lang, sinagot ko sana yun ng "kami ba sinasabihan mo? kung may problema ka, sabihin mo sa mukha ko wag yung nagpaparinig ka!". kaasar kasi talaga. tas wala pa pala sila sa lugar. bad trip.
sa huli nauna pa rin kami. kasi may isa pang 2-seater na di pa occupied, e lahat ng nasa harap namin puro 1-seater. kaya ayun. nag-observe lang ako. gets ko naman siya. muntik nga lang kaming madisgrasya kasi may nakatama sa min. buti di kami nag-skid. tinanong ako ng ate ko kung natakot ba daw ako. heck, i was actually enjoying it a lot that i wanted to drive myself. sabi ko nga "must.learn.this". driving's really fun, gusto ko na matuto! hopefully when i turn 16.
tas ayun. uwi na kami. di na kami nakisabay sa closing time na alas-dose, kasi tiyak traffic na naman. 4 na rides lang nasakyan namin, pero enjoy naman. ^_^

we're off to enchanted kingdom today. ^_^ dapat nga umaalis na kami ngayon kaya lang puro pa tinatamad dahil pagod kahapon. good luck na lang mamaya sa pila. haha.
anyway, Christmas 2008 was really rainy. especially in the uplands. sa alfonso kami nagse-spend ng Christmas every year and compared to other Christmases walang kaming masyadong nagawa kahapon because of the rain.
at saka Paskong Pasko, wala akong gana sa mga pagkain. there are a lot of food pero di ko type. hay. why was i born a picky eater? kahapon nga utang-uta ako dun sa lumpia na toge ang laman, but it's not like i have a choice kasi di ko din naman gusto yung ibang pagkain. pati dito sa bahay, ganun din.
isang game lang ang nalaro namin. parang 'are you smarter than a 5th grader?' pero adults vs. teens and hindi pang-grade 1-5 yung mga tanong, random siya. ang members ng adult team, daddy at mommy ko, tita jen, tita jinky at lola dulce. tapos sa min, ako, steven, ria, cooky and lorenz. the questions were actually easy, yung hindi lang namin alam yung sa body part ng insect, yung sa first tv set dito sa pilipinas and when was tv first introduced.. but the rest nasasagot naman namin. nakakatawa kasi ang gulo dahil paunahan ng palo sa table. muntik pa kami matalo dahil laging nauuna yung palo ng kabila. pero nanalo pa rin kami. haha.
then nagpaagaw na ng coins. di nga masyadong exciting yung agawan ngayon kasi nga basa. ayun. naka-P132 something ako. sa pamasko, P1600 yata. kaya almost P4500 na ngayon yung ipod fund ko, wag lang akong matetempt bumili. haha.
after ng bigayan ng regalo at pamasko.. uwian na. di na kami nakapag-annual picture taking dun sa may Christmas tree dahil umuulan.
masaya din naman..

last day of Christmas celebration sa school. yung gift giving and feeding something program kami ngayon.
late na ko dumating, 9:00 na instead of 8:00.. pero pagdating ko dun di pa nagsastart.. tagal naming nakatambay dun.. kasi yung mga batang dapat sa min, di pa nadating. ayun.. napag-utusan lang kami.. pinaghanap kami nung isang tao na sa ibang class daw napunta.. lintek nga e. kasi hanap kami nang hanap, yun pala.. there is no such person. mali yung pangalang binigay sa min at yung hinahanap nila nandun na sa tamang klase. bad trip. haha.
tas ayun nagpa-games. swerte nung isang bata. talo siya dun sa trip to jerusalem pero magaling magsayaw, may mga pa-tumbling tumbling pa siya.. kaya nung na-out binigyan ng P500. swerte.. sabi ko nga sa mga kaklase ko "tara magtata-tumbling din tayo para may P500 dim tayo!" haha.
then tambay lang kami dun sa may entrance. just fooling around. sabi namin dapat kami din pakainin. haha. nilagay namin yung pangalan namin dun sa listahan. tas lakas topak ni kah kasi naglagay din siya ng sticker na para dun sa mga bata tas sinulatan pa ng "feed me! adopt me!". all the teachers were like "wtf you don't need to be fed!" when they saw her.
when finally dumating na yung mga batang dapat iaadopt for a day namin.. malapit na mag-uwian.. kaya nag-present na lang sila nung number nila tas binigay na namin yung mga puds and naipong pera..
tapos pumunta kami dun sa mga admin nung tapos na sila magpamigay ng pagkain sa mga bata.. humingi din kami kasi gutom na kami! haha. nagdadalawang-isip pa nga sila kasi daw pag namigay sa min baka daw yung ibang mga estudyante manghingi rin. sabi namin di na nila kailangan yun dahil mayayaman sila [ang nandun kasi yung mga 3rd year].. ayun binigyan naman kami. kumain na lang kami dun kasama ng ibang teachers. ang kulit ni sir ben nung nakain kami, andaming pinagsasabi. haha.
then uwian na. it's been a nice week. tiring, but really.. it was fun. now it's Christmas vacation! yey! ^_^

woa. ngaun lang ako nakapagpost 'cause i was asleep the whole day. hindi ako natulog nung high school night e. i was 23 hours awake, so i needed to make up on my sleep.
anyway. the first half of the high school night was bo-ring. there were games pero di kami kasali. we were supposed to be like ushers/usherettes but what the heck.. those people aren't kids anymore. they should know how to behave. haha. so we were just watching and it was boring. hindi na kami sumali, kasi mas madali daw yun matatapos at mas madali kaming makakapag-bonding ng kanya-kanyang klase pag di kami sumali.
there were other things as well, like sir migs' devotion part and some bands performed. ang astig nung disconnection notice performance, the drummer was also the one singing. that kid neil impressed me. kala ko puro kalokohan lang ginagawa nun. haha.
that game part started at 8:00 and ended at around 10:30. i was sort of pissed by that time 'cause i was excitedly waiting for fun things to happen and yet all the things that happened during the day were boring. akala ko nga nung una, patutulugin na kami and i was like "WHAT THE HELL?! GIVE ME BACK MY PRECIOUS TIME!". pinapunta na kasi kami sa kanya-kanyang classrooms [the boys were in the other room as we could not fit in our classroom]. but then, ma'am gina called all of the girls and said we should have an open forum.
ayun. first we formed a circle, then we were asked to say something positive about the person to our right. khaz was to my left, she said that what's good about me is that even though i don't like a person, i won't do anything warfreak to him/her unless s/he does something bad to me. kah was to my right, i said that what's good about her is that she's a true friend.
next. we were asked.. among the girls, who is the one who like least? many answered tasha and cheska.. and it got serious at that point. si ashley sinagot ko. i've written in this blog that i don't like her, mainly because hindi siya totoo sa sarili niya, plastic ba. i don't like fake people so yea.. and i said she has mannerisms that irritate me dahil ang dating sa kin e maarte. mara, kacey and kah answered the same but it was kah who elaborated her answer. tapos ayun. nagka-usap-usap. may ibang nakapag-ayos na ata [pam and tasha].. but for the others i don't know. as for me, it is very unlikely that i will be friends with some people, as i don't like their personalities.. but i wish all the nonsense quarrelling would stop.
then. we were asked to give a message to the class. it got dramatic at that point. i loved dom's message. she said high school years were the best four years of her life and that's all thanks to us. sana daw walang limutan, and i almost cried when she said "i love you guys!".
oh, and i haven't mentioned that i had this very bad cold last night. ang lamig kasi tas di pa ko natulog so yun, ang lala talaga. worst cold i ever had. i think i sneezed for more than a hundred times. my nose was aching. nag-sorry na nga lang ako sa lahat ng mahahawahan ko. anyway, that cold really irritated me, it made me feel bad when i was supposed to be genki, but somehow, during that giving a message part, i was thankful i have a runny nose so it wasn't so obvious that i was about to cry. ugh. seriously, i don't like being dramatic. but it was hard to resist being dramatic during that part. i told them they were important to me, as they were the people i've been with during my adolescent years, the period in one's life which could be considered the most exciting. i told them that i'm a person who's very appreciative of friendship.. that of all the human relationships, the relationship between friends is one of my favorites [that's the result of watching winnie the pooh and friends when i was younger, so blame pooh for that. haha. kidding.].. so i sort of envied the previous 4th year batch, because the bond of their class is strong. sabi ko, nung una medyo di ko gusto yung idea na pag-isahin yung klase, because all of us were very different.. but as time passed, the class grew on me.. and even though there are people i don't like [don't know if i really said this but..], i still wished that our class could be like the previous fourth year batch. tapos yun nga, sabi ko sana walang limutan. and thanks, dahil sa klase ko lang na-feel yung sense of belonging. sabi ko nga kina dom at mara, buti na lang nag-skip ako ng nursery, kasi kung hindi, e di magiging kaklase ko yung mga third year ngayon.. no offense to them, pero hindi lang talaga ko magfi-fit in sa kanila. puro sila mayayaman, lahat laging nakaporma, sosyal yung mga gamit. sabi ko nga kung nandun ako e di kawawa naman ako. and one of the reasons why i'm scared of going to college is the issue of fitting in again. i don't know if i can fit in in college the same way that i fitted in in high school.ayun. i said that while my voice was really shaky and about to break. ugh. but i don't know if they noticed, since i have a cold nga. how i wish they didn't, 'cause emotional outbursts are really embarrassing for me. buti nga hindi ako umiyak e! i really dislike displays of intense emotions so yea..
then ayun. nag-bang zak [how should i spell that?] kami. pero saglit lang. natulog na yung iba after that. i so pitied the boys kasi wala silang dalang mga mahihigaan.
anyway, some of us didn't sleep. some of the girls were on their cellphones all night. telebabad to the max. haha. and speaking of telebabad, we called dianne since it was her birthday and she wasn't allowed to come [hilary too].. ayun. tapos ako soundtrip lang. naka-dalawang mug ako ng kape kaya ayun di naman ako masyadong inantok.
at around 5:00 pinabangon na kami. grabe, it was so cold! wala pang araw pinag-exercise na kami. after nun, pinag-ayos na ng gamit then at 6:00 pinauwi na kami. kaso si kah 7:00 pa daw susunduin kaya hinintay ko na lang siya masundo. grabe dang lamig talaga nun. i was hungry, i had this runny nose and wala pa kong tulog so i felt really bad. kala ko nga masasagasaan na ko bago ako makauwi e. haha. nagpasundo ako sa mcdo. bumili na lang ako ng hotcakes dun. masarap sana kaya lang medyo ayaw kong kumain kasi ang sakit na ng lalamunan ko. anyway i ate it 'cause i was already having heartburn [minsan pag nagugutom ako nagkaka-heartburn ako].. nagsipilyo lang ako at yun. bagsak sa kama. at di na ko bumangon not until 6:00. ayoko pa nga sanang bumangon e kaso may christmas concert pa. dianne and the others are going to perform so manonood ako.
ayun. ayos naman yung show. medyo boring nga lang yung ibang parts, kasi naman yung iba andami-daming pineperform na kanta. dapat 1 band/1 group = 1 song para di boring. anyway may isang banda na kumanta nung song ng sexbomb girls na "wish ko sa pasko". sinayaw namin yung kanta na yun nung grade 5 kami, and we were laughing while remembering our steps! haha. tapos sayang kasi hindi ko napanood yung canon in d performance nung banda. astig sana yun.^^

preparing for high school night. seems like i'm going to be late again.
late ako kanina sa christmas party e. nagpunta pa kasi ako sa sm nung umaga to buy jogging pants na isusuot ko mamaya sa hs night. bumili pa din ako ng utensils na additional para may magamit kami hanggang mamaya. tapos bumalik ako sa bahay, wala pa si kuya steve. balik na lang uli akong sm, bumili ako ng bagong damit. i bought a simple blue dress shirt at camp beverly hills. there's this light blue shirt there as well and i wanted to buy that too kaso la nang pera. at hindi na rin ako kulang sa damit na pantaas. damit na pambaba ang kulang sa kin. argh. hirap talaga pag mahirap ka lang sa damit. nahihirapan ako pag ganitong araw araw naalis tapos wala kang maisuot. need to buy lots of pants dahil pag hindi e lagot ako nito sa college. haha.
anyway, when i got there.. wala na halos pagkain! argh! i only got to taste a tiny, tiny bit of baked macaroni. T_T pancit malabon na lang kinain ko. tas inupakan ko yung donut.
the christmas party was.. so-so. walang masayang nangyari. lahat kasi kami tinatamad. halatang nag-iipon ng energy for later. medyo nakakapanghinayang nga lang yun. last christmas party sa high school at napakaboring. but anyway, at least sa iba masaya kami. haha. we should have more parties na mas masaya before we graduate.
that's it. itte kimasu [i'm off]! ja ne..
