I Love You, Mom

Yesterday, Sunday, May 13, was a very special day for special people. They're the ones who delivered you into this world. They're the ones who will love you forever. They're the reason behind every success. Being there for us, taking care for us and teaching us is their job. We're sometimes ungrateful to them when we don't get what we want.

Mother's Day!

Happy Mother's Day to all the wonderful moms out there!

Moms always want what's best for us, especially my mom. She sacrifices a lot for us, from staying awake all night to take care of us to giving up the yummiest food for us to taste. I may not be the perfect daughter but I try my best. Okay, I'm hard-headed countless of times but I understand that she knows what's best.

For our awesome mom, she got a shopping spree at Resorts World Manila, Newport Mall yesterday from dad while we, me, my sister and bro (who gives only moral support to the card), got our mom a huge card.

^not our best card because we did it late at night^

While going through the mall around and around, we managed to drop by at the GameZoo's photo booth. The pictures below are a few shots taken.

Besides playing in the GameZoo, an arcade, we went to a lot of shops and shopped a lot. It wasn't only a treat for my mom but also for the rest of the family. I got a few things myself. :> We really had a fun and special day.

Again, Happy Mother's Day to all the awesome mommies out there! :)

As for the title, why "I Love You, Mom"? It's true that I really love her. Although, being a teen, I don't say it that much. So, I'm using this chance to tell why we don't say it that much.

Honestly, I don't know why and I know a lot of other teens do too, but that doesn't change the fact that we love our moms. I guess, sometimes we feel it's a little awkward? Ask us why it's awkward and we'd answer "idk" because we really don't know. We just don't say it that much, that's it, but that doesn't change the way we feel.

Change

If you've been here before, you'd notice the "few changes". I changed my theme, profile picture, added some widgets and etc. For those who haven't, there's a picture below of how this place looks like before.

I've also noticed that Blogspot has a new Blogger Interface. I'm also trying to update this blog more often. I've been kinda busy with school before and I kinda forgot about this. I recently remembered this because of someone who went here and laughed at my childhood photos. :( lol It's okay though because we're friends. :)

So, here's an update. I'm about to be on my Sophomore year. Yes, how time flies. I also haven't grown an inch since last year. Tear tear :'( My iPod Touch and phone never goes out of my sight. It's true, ask my mom. ;) I'll be 15 this coming 5th of September. My braces are turning 4 years old this May but I'm hoping to get them off reeeeeaaaaal soon. I'm currently in my school's Volleyball Varsity Team. Yes, I love playing sports, specifically volleyball. It's my passion. There's a lot more of updates or changes but besides that, I'm still me. I'm still that black-haired, brown-eyed, fun, silly girl I used to be. I just grew.

I'm happy to be typing here again and I hope to type again soon. I'm excited to share some of my stories. Can't wait! 'Til next time.

My mom plans VGood to study in advance this summer because she's having a hard time concentrating on studying. I think it's a good idea but what'll I do? Hmmm..........

Well, my mom said I have to blog more so I could improve my grammar. :D

(Yay! Plurking while blogging... hehe..lols)  

I want to read more books, if I get mom to buy me new ones. I've read all the books she bought me. Without a book, it's kinda boring if you don't have anything else to do....Haaaay....

I'm going to blog updates about my summer vacation. I'm not yet really sure what I'm going to do this summer but I'll be keeping you posted on what'll I be doing. :D

Christmas Is Near!

Our blessings, we should treasure, share and enjoy them. We should be contented in what we will be receiving this Christmas.

Enjoy your Christmas! ツ

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."

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!

My Field Trip

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.
