I Love Our Game!

"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

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

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

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

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. :DWe 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 off 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!! = )

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.

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 :(
