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.

Our New Housemates!!

Last April 2009, we bought an aquarium. We have nine goldfish!

2. Bumpkin - another fantail 
   
3. Choo - another fantail
   
4. Yoko - a Calico Ryukin
5. Ching - a lionhead fish
6. Liang - a shubunkin
7. Shoobie - a shubunkin
8. Wang (R.I.P.) - a black moor. Died due to a squished eye. :(
9. Ying (R.I.P.) - a red cap oranda. Died due to fin rot. :(

Ferb - Ryukin

Watching fish swimming around is very calming. One time, I watched our fish swimming for a long time

Summer...Summer...Summer...SUMMER'S HERE!

It's summer and it's really really really HOT!!!

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

Happy Valentine's Day (belated)

One of my classmates, (or one of my best friends), received 4 roses (real). 

When I got to school, I saw roses on top of L's chair. I read the note beside it and it's from K.Y.

Hope you enjoyed V day! :)

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.

My Sister

This is VGood, my 6-year old sister.

She forgives easily, just say sorry and she'll forgive you right away. Some times she gives us cards so that we know she loves us. These things are what I like about VGood:

• Brave
• Kind
• Forgives easily
• Pretty
• Smart
• Funny
• Loving
• Caring

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

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!!
