Tagaytay Weekend, summer '09

2009-06-03T01:33:00.000-07:00

Last weekend, May 30 - 31, we went to Tagaytay! We had lots of fun!

We started our trip on Saturday morning. We stayed in a hotel called Potter’s Ridge. It was nice there. We stayed in the family room on the 1^{s^t floor. When we got there we were tired because of the long trip. Mom and dad left us in the hotel for a while to go somewhere. We stayed in the hotel quite long because mom and dad were not home yet. It rained the whole day. After a while, mom arrived earlier than dad. We got bored at the hotel sometimes, so we took photos of us having fun.}

<-- The view of our hotel room was so beautiful!

That evening, we went to eat dinner outside. We ate dinner at Carlos Pizza. Then we had dessert at Razon’s. We had halo-halo. Mmmmm... Sarap! Then we head back to our hotel, Potter’s Ridge.

When we got there, mom and dad went to the hotel’s restaurant. It was a wi-fi zone. Mom and dad had date there.

We woke up early Sunday morning. We dressed ourselves to get ready for breakfast and the day’s activities. After breakfast we packed up our things to check out of our hotel.

After checking out, we went to People’s Park. First, we went horseback riding. We had lots of fun! Each rider has a guide. Usually the guide is an adult but there, it was kids. There were adults telling them what to do, it’s like training them.

After that, Vera and I rode a zipline!!!

Me and V getting on the zipline.

We're off!

Aaahhhhhhh!!!!

Finally! We're done.

I felt a little dizzy when we got off the ride.. It was VERY VERY VERY FUN!

Then, it was time to head back to sunny Manila.

~~PS: If you don't know what's a zipline. Google it.~~

My Top 5 fave TV shows (part 2)

2009-05-20T20:37:00.000-07:00

*continuation

4. My 4th fave show:

The Suite Life On Deck

About the show:
I watch this show on Disney Channel. The nautical new series finds Zack and Cody aboard the S.S. Tipton, a luxury passenger cruise owned by London's father. The ship cruises the world with tourists and students who attend classes at Seven Seas High, the one high school that London's dad thinks will make his daughter a better student. While out at sea, Zack and Cody still have their compass pointed towards mischief, and London learns to live a "fabu-LESS" life style........
(Click here for more info about the show.)

5. My 5th fave show:

Spongebob

About the show:
I watch this show on Nickeodeon. SpongeBob is a sea sponge who lives with his pet snail, Gary, in a fully furnished, two bedroom...pineapple. SpongeBob's dream in life is to be the ocean's ultimate fry cook. SpongeBob is as optimistic and earnest as a sea-dwelling sponge gets, but he can't seem to avoid getting himself, and usually everyone else around him, into trouble. While trying too hard, he tends to do things wrong...really wrong...which usually spells disaster. But SpongeBob's always looking on the bright side of life, and his enthusiasm about just about everything makes him downright irresistible.
(Click here for more info about the show.)

I watch more shows but these are the ones I like most.

My Favorite TV Shows (part 1)

2009-05-19T19:45:00.000-07:00

This summer, I've been watching most. So I decided to blog about my favorite TV shows.

1. My first favorite TV show:

Wizards Of Waverly Place

About the show:
The Russo family appears to be a typical New York City family, but they are nothing of the sort. Justin, Alex and Max are everyday kids who also happen to be wizards in training. Their father Jerry heads up Wizard Class when he's not busy running the family
restaurant, Waverly Sub Station, with their mom Theresa. Sibling rivalry is anything but ordinary as the Russo kids figure out they can use magic for anything house hold chores to get even with each other. It's always laughs as we watch Alex, Justin, and Max try to clean up their messes before their parents bust them. After all, for the Russo's, being a teen can be tricky!

(click here for the source)

2. My second favorite show:

iCarly

About the show:
iCarly has a cool website where you can see videos of them doing wacky fun stuff, games, and more! I watch iCarly on Nickelodeon every 4:30pm inweekdays.

3. My third fave show:

Phineas and Ferb

About the show:
Catch Phineas and Ferb on Mon - Fri at 6pm. Phineas and Ferb is on summer vacation and everyday they build or do something extraordinary. Their sister, Candace, is always trying to bust them but she never succeeds doing it.( Aww... pooor Candace.) For more info about the show click here.

Those are the gifts I received for Christmas, the gifts my friends gave me were not counted.
After opening our gifts, we ate. I ate spaghetti (spaghetti - my aunt K. cooked) and ham (ham - my mom made). They were all yummy! :)
I wish next year's Christmas would be more fun.

This year's Christmas was AWESOME!!!

My kinda week

2008-12-18T04:39:00.000-08:00

This week a lot of people from my class have been giving gifts. And I am included in one of those who are giving gifts. I'm very happy and very blessed because of the gifts. *laughs*

After December 19, 2008 (Friday) is the start of our Christmas vacation. WOOHOOO!

Today is Friday and after school I went to my best friend's house.

We spent a lot of time together. There were 3 of us but my best friend's brothers invited some other of their friends. (We were kind a disturbed). Her brothers were at the 2nd floor while we were at the 3rd floor. We were talking, playing...etc... (the games we have played were really fun and the nice thing about it is that we just made it up. :> ) It was so much fun but we had some boring moments too.. hehe... :)) After sometime mom came and fetched me. I hope to go again to her house. It's very nice!

I hope you all enjoy your Christmas vacation!

I Love Our Game!

2008-12-06T05:22:00.000-08:00

"I Love Our Game" means we won our game in badminton yesterday! (Dec. 5 2008)

(I wrote "Our" in "I Love Our Game" because our game was doubles.

Actually we didn't win our first game which was on Dec. 4 (Thursday). On our first game, we competed with 4 - Kabayanihan (a section in our grade 4 batch), which was the game we lost. There was ZERO percent chance that our class could win first or second place but there is a chance that we could win third.

Yesterday we had another game, we competed with 4 - Kalayaan (another section from our grade 4 batch). If we won we would be competing with 3 - Ezra (a section from our grade 3 batch). If we win again, we'd be third place.

(As I continue my story from paragraph 1). Yesterday, before the game versus 4 - Kalayaan, my heart was pumping very fast (~~and loud, I think~~).Oh yeah, not just my heart, something else happened. The representatives of 4 - Kalayaan is M. and Cat-Cat. (M. and I are not that close but we are good friends. Me and Cat-Cat are really good friends, while we were competing my heart was still pumping very fast ~~and loud~~). It was a close fight, sometimes they'd lead in the scores but sometimes we are. At the end of the game I am so happy and relieved, (not so relieved) that we won our second game. I'm not fully relieved yet because we still had to compete with 3 - Ezra! *sighs*

When we were competing against grade 3 - Ezra, my heart was not pumping that fast anymore, maybe because we were competing against grade three (which they are younger than us). At the end of the game, that was the time i was fully relieved because...... WE WON!!!!

My Parent's comments about our game:

Mom's comment:

"I'm proud of you because I saw that you were playing so hard."

Papa's comment:

"Good start."

My NEW Badminton Racket

2008-10-12T03:29:00.000-07:00

My favorite sport is badminton. My dad teaches me how to play it. A week ago, when my dad came home, he bought me my own racket. The racket was so nice!

The reason why he bought me this is because in school there's a competition in badminton for grades 3 - 4. Each class must have 2 representatives. The class chose C.G. and me. So, I told my mom and dad. My dad has been teaching me badminton before.

It's hard but I know I can do it. I hope my partner and I do well. I'll just keep on practicing until I get it.

That's all for now folks.

*Update: (Dec. 18, 2008)

This badminton racket broke. Then, my dad bought me a new one.. :) It has different design and color.*

Lovin' some Reading

2008-06-08T21:50:00.000-07:00

I just love reading! I enjoy reading a lot. I was inspired in reading when I was in grade 1.

1st two almost thick books I read was Junie B, Jones - Is (almost) a Flower Girl, The Yucky Blucky Fruit Cake by Barbara Park. The book Junie B. Jones was a very funny book. Junie B Jones thinks she's already a grown up. The B. stands for Beatrice, but she doesn't like Beatrice so it became into a B. She has two best friends, Lucille and Grace. This was a gift from mom in Christmas.

2nd was Heidi by Johanna Spyri. Heidi was a spirited child, and loved to play. She went to Frankfurt to visit her Grandfather. I enjoyed reading this book. Mom bought this for me.

3rd was Meet Felicity by Valerie Tripp (book one). This book is from the American Girls Collection (the books in this collection tells the stories of six American girls who lived long ago). Felicity, a spunky, spritely colonial girl, full of energy and independence. Mom bought this for me.

4th Felicity Learns A Lesson by Valerie Tripp (book two). This is just the second book of "Meet Felicity". This is when Felicity goes to school. Back then, it was very important for young girls to learn fancy sewing. Mom bought this for me when I got sick.

5th my favorite book, Nancy Drew - The Clue Of The Leaning Chimney, The Ringmaster's Secret by Carolyn Keene. These two books are given to me by my mom in Christmas. I read this book two days after Christmas, then when I had finished one book, I loved Nancy Drew books ever since. I have begged mom a lot of times to buy me some more Nancy Drew books, but until now, I still have 2 Nancy Drew books.
But my best friend has more than 10 Nancy Drew books that she have never read yet. So we borrowed each other books, then when we are finished reading with them, we switch. So every week we had books to read.

6th was Nancy Drew - A Novelization of the Hit Movie. I always wanted to watch the movie, but we didn't watch it. :( Luckily, my aunt knew I loved Nancy Drew Books, she gave me a book of the movie, and it includes 8 pages of full-color photos from the movie!

7th was Nancy Drew - The Secret of the Old Clock. The #1 book of Nancy Drew. The first mystery Nancy has solved. I borrowed this book from my classmate.

There are a lot more books that I have read.
But those are JUST some.

Braces

2008-05-27T21:27:00.000-07:00

I just got my braces on! It's hard to eat with them. That's why I only eat soft meals, like, noodles, soup, etc...

When my dentist put on my braces it didn't hurt a bit, but after a while hurts. But it takes 2 hours to put on braces.

These are some pictures while putting on my braces.

I only have 3 brackets on.

After a while, were FINISHED!

Picnic : La Mesa Ecopark

2008-05-26T03:12:00.001-07:00

It has been months since I have blogged.

~~~

It was a bright Friday morning. We are going to have a picnic with my mom's blog friends and their kids. So we got on the car and started our trip to La Mesa Ecopark. But before we got there, we stopped by Grill Queen, to buy some grill fish. We waited for a long time. After some time were back on the road.

Us in the car.

We're here! When we got there, we met a friend, a daughter of one of my mom's friends. Me, VGood, MagNate, and our new friend went to the slide and started playing.
MagNate sliding down the slide.
Me, VGood, MagNate, and our friend went to the slide and played.

After some time the others got to the picnic. Me and my sister met some new friends.

Then we went biking! (Mom didn't take any photo of us when we were biking). After biking, we ate.... it was so much fun!
After we ate, the mommies chatted, and us, the kids, played. :D
We had so much fun. We found a log, and made it into a rocket ship.

All together: 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, BLAST OF!

After some time we are going to climb up the stairs which leads to the dam.

That's really long.

When I got up, I was tired and sweating.

It's pretty windy up here.

And on our way down, we saw some benches and sat down and cool of for a while.

Me, relaxing on the grass. The grass is clean.

Then after that, the rain started pouring. We all rushed down, packed up our things, and stopped by at tita Wenchie's house. Then when the rain was already gone, we went home.

What a day!
We had fun, and I'm excited for the next picnic!

Kipper!! = )

2008-01-27T00:48:00.000-08:00

Last week, Sunday, we went to Tiendesitas. We are going to buy a hamster cage. We had fun looking at the animals in Tiendesitas. We saw a turtle, it was beautiful.

We are picking a cage for our hamster.
MagNate is looking at the dog.

We had fun when dogs, and cats were groomed...

...and petting a Guinea Pig.

After a few days, Kipper came!! We stared at him a long time. He is so cute! He ran on his wheel.

Kipper running on his wheel.

After a while, Kipper got tired. He slept peaceful and adorable!

(I'm the one who got this shot, and it was a close up)

Kipper is so cute and adorable. I'm afraid to carry him, because his feet will tickle my hand. And I will know that I should get used to holding him. = )

*update* 10-12-08

Kipper died last summer.... It's so sad :(

My Field Trip

2007-12-07T03:26:00.000-08:00

Today I had lots of fun 'cause we had a Field Trip.

First we went to "Avilon Zoo". While we were on the bus, I was seating with my best friend B.P. We shared our food together, we talked a lot, we played thumb wrestling, reload (reload is a hand game). Our trip from school to the zoo is 30 minutes or 1 hour.

Then we were there! When me, and my classmates, went out of the bus, it was all muddy. One of my classmate, a boy, complained just because of his shoes, pants, and his leg got all muddy, we all laughed. It was very fun, exciting, has many interesting animals, and I had lots of fun with my friends. The first animal we saw was the biggest fish in the zoo. It is bigger and wider the my teachers, it can eat a human. There was lots of birds, crocodiles, and more (and also lizards, big ones, but the lizards wasn't part of the tour, we only saw them on the ground). Then there were more. We touched two of the eagles. The first one had creepy eyes, it is so big. The second one was the prettiest, the feathers are so small. we walked, walked, walked, and walked until we are all tired. Then we had lunch in the zoo, all of the sections were jealous, because we were the only section ate in the zoo the rest was in the bus. After lunch we got in the bus, then went to our next destination.

Our next destination is the "Blanco Family Museum". The paintings were so beautiful. I didn't took any pictures. It is about a whole family painting. The father, Jose V. Blanco, is the only member of the family that have finished fine arts. He thought the whole family to paint. They have started painting 11 months. All of thier paintings are very interesting. I When I look at some of the pictures they are like actual photos, but nope it isn't. It is real paint, the effects are so beautiful.
After we went all around the museum, at the end we can see their sketches. Then we went back to the bus.

While we were in the bus, I was with my best friend, B.P. We were bored, so she slept just for a while. I was playing reload with my other friends. Our trip from th museum to our school is maybe 1hour or 1 and a half.

My Birthday!

2007-09-09T03:55:00.000-07:00

September 5 was my birthday, I'm now 10 years old. My birthday cake was honey cake, which is my favorite. I'm thanking my mom and dad for taking care of me so I could have more years to come. They have been taking good care of us. My mom blogged about me turning 10. I love my family so much!

How fast does time go. I felt yesterday I was just holding my bottle, now I'm 10. I thank God that He blessed me all those 10 happy years. He and my family helped me pass so many things. I am so happy to be 10. I love to enjoy life, especially family times.

~~( Note from iMoM: Photos are still in the camera. I will upload them soon so Patch can insert some pictures in this post... Promise! :P )~~

I love my sister so much! Whenever she's in trouble I'll protect her, because I love her and she's my sister. No one can stop me from loving my sister. I'll take care of her.

And she is the best!!!

My Cute Baby Brother

2007-08-26T03:30:00.000-07:00

This is MagNate, my cute 1-year old brother. Every morning here in our village my brother goes out for a nice long walk. Everyone in the village who passes by says "Look at the baby so cute" or "Ang taba-taba. Ang Sarap kurotin!" and a lot more compliments.... MagNate has so many friends in the village because of his cute little face. My mom keeps on thinking when my brother is already a teenager, there might be a bunch of girls running after MagNate.
My brother is so cute! I can't stop looking at him when he is sleeping.He sleeps so cute!! I'm so lucky that he is my brother. I just can't wait to see him grow. When my baby brother is somewhere there are lots of people, they look at him. That is because he is so adorable. I can stare at my brother's picture all day long. When he's older I'd take good care of him until the end of my life.

And he is the best!!

1st Quarter Exams

2007-08-23T03:35:00.000-07:00

Our exam week was 2 weeks ago. Our tests were handed out this week. Guess what? I did good in all the tests, and I perfected 1, that is computer. I'll show you all my scores: (arranged from highest to the lowest score)

Computer-50/50

Math-38/40
Chinese-93/100
Filipino-50/55
English-44.5/50

The Chinese test had so many questions, imagine 100 questions. English was so hard. Computer was so easy and many of my classmates are perfect. But a least I didn't fail any test. My grades are okay with me anyway.

Subic Weekend

2007-08-18T20:17:00.000-07:00

This is me ~iPatch~ blowing some bubbles. This photo was taken on July. We went to Zoobic Safari in Subic. We saw lots of tigers and other more kind of animals. The tiger I took was like posing just for me. And my mom said that I Take good pictures. And I do like taking pictures.
Here is my father with my baby brother touching one of the deers in Zoobic. My father keeps on touching lots of animals like camels, deers, alpacas and a whole lot more. We had lots of fun. When we got back to the hotel we were so tired of walking.

The next day we went to El Kabayo. Me and my sister loves to ride horses. This is me and my sister VGood on a horse. The name of the horse that we rode was Jesse Boy. We rode into the forest with lots of trees. After that fun ride we went back to the hotel. We packed our belongings, we were ready to go home.
