Me , Myself and I

     Wow! I’ve written a total of three blogs/posts this year! I broke my own personal record of writing only once per year. But naturally, I am writing since I have nothing better to do with my spare time. If I weren’t writing, I probably would have spent my whole day away sitting on the couch watching some T.V., reading books (currently reading "The Good Earth" by Pearl S. Buck)  or playing with my Playstation 2. I feel that I should have a break and get in touch with the "writer" side of me.

     Firstly, Christmas in just around the corner! I generally can’t believe that it’s been another year again! Next year or school year, specifically, I will have a new circle of friends, a new and harder (yes, harder) grade level and a new year to start over. I think next year won’t be as big a blast like this year because one of my closest friends is going back to her hometown of Bacolod City (City of Smiles : D). I am really going to miss her, but we’ll still keep in touch in Yahoo! Messanger.

     Actually, I can’t believe how easily time flies. Whether you are having fun or not, time really passes by quickly. I feel that it was just yesterday that I was helping out at my mother’s store and celebrating my birthday (April 23, 2006) and it was a blast: We ordered some pizza from "Yellow Cab" and also had "Spicy Chicken Wings", both of which are my favourites. We ended the day playing a game of good ol’ 2 on 2 badminton with my three cousins. Thatw as really a fun day, I won’t soon forget!

     The year of 2006 has been like heaven to me! This is actually the best year, and yes, school year (Grade 8, Sophomore, 2nd Year, S.Y. 2006-2007) of my life. Actually the best thing about this year is my position as one of the class offcers. I have bever been elected as one of the class officers because simply, I am a shy person, I discourage anyone who has the guts to vote for me. Actually, my position is, due to my creative mind, is Director. Being a director, I have responsibilities over class plays, Christmas Parties and School Field trips., and Foundation Day.Just now, I am writing a script for a skit we’re going to present in front of teachers on the day of the Christmas Party (December 21, 2006). Come to think of it, I am writing two scripts! One for the said event and one for the class Chapel Presentation. The Class Presentation for the Christmas Party is about a rich, young girl who is very lonely due to the fact that her parents don’t have time for her because of their important jobs. "Carelessly" leaving her out of their busy lives. While the other presentation for Chapel is about a rich, spoiled girl (played by the same actress : D) who is the excact opposite of the other said girl: She is unhappy despite the fact that her parents are giving her anything they can get their hands to. She mistakes Christmas for the season of "recieving" rather than "giving" and ends up having a burned house. In the end, with the help of an orphan friend, together, they seek the real meaning of Christmas. Other than the fact that I’m one of the class officers, I’m happy to announce that I’m also in one of the school’s most elite clubs: Nouvelles. Other than the fact that I’m frustrated in myself because I’m supposed to write an article (Sports) about the school’s new coaches and I put it off ’til the last minute. I ended up passing my work later than the dead line. The result? I was not included as one of the articles in the first issue of the school newspaper which was out just last Wednesday. This is a lesson for me, which I will value. But heed my words readers: You will definitely see my name on the second issue of Nouvelles which will be published and out approximately sometime between February and March.

     Decemeber (I’m writing this December 2, 2006) is a very busy month for me. Other than the fact that I will be submitting two of the scripts which is due around next week, I also have an article due ’til the end of the month. Not only that! But I also act as the Class President’s Right hand (Haha! Can you imagine? But he’s a good friend of mine and he likes it if I make him sound more powerful), which means that I will be calculating some of the money earned from the class and divide them according to the: food we’re going to eat, prizes to give out and giveaways to remember the day by. I can tell that the money is not enough for the prizes and I haven’t decided what candies to put in the giveaway bags yet. I haven’t even assigned people for the skit yet, I haven’t memorized my skit in Chinese yet (since the skit will serve as our periodical test = 40% of our grade, which means I have to do it well, the skit will be presented on December 14, 2006. Not only that, but it is also a contest between 1st years and second years), and I haven’t quite gotten the steps on "What I’ve Been Looking For" by Ryan and Sharpay (Lucas Grabeel and Ashley Tisdale). Which I will be performing with one of my girl classmates. I don’t think she gets it either. Then again, we have a "book report" graded recitation in Filipino and English ("Good Earth" By Pearl S. Buck and "Luha ng Buwaya" by Amado V. Hernandez). Axtually I don’t mind at all reading "the Good Earth" but "Luha ng Buwaya"…. Haha! Just joking! I don’t mid reading that either, it’s just that the words are pretty tough and as you might or might not know, I am not so hot in Filipino. Speaking of Filipino, we also have a mini-book report on the said book and we have to put ourselves in the shoes of one of the book’s major characters, we have to make a diary prior to the events stated in the book. (By the way, Luha ng Buwaya has countless characters, which makes the book more interesting to read).

     Before I busy myself with all these responsibilities, let me just wish you, yes you, a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! (Well, advanced at least X D)
