livin' la vida loca?

seven hours in school doing absolutely zero. Ee Vien went home early and being the 'wonderful' person I am, I stayed behind to keep Fiona company. So basically we sat and talked about anything under the sun. anything. I also managed to learn A LOT about fish, frogs, earth worms and grasshoppers with Chung Yu (is that how you spell it? -.- ) Miss Tan was very frustrated with the whole class. heh.

I'm thinking of quitting YE. I don't know.. maybe I"m not organised enough or just hopeless at it. after what happened with Aaron, I don't know... :/ If you can, please drop a line into God's office for me and ask Him to help sort everything out.

grandure

isn't that the dreams we all long for? The high society life, being popular. I guess its not wrong to dream right? But being rich isn't all in life; its something but not everything. Its built into us when we are 'brainwashed' so to speak to follow the trends. Heck, I'm not saying its all wrong but keeping yourself grounded is still good.

...

Books I bought at the Book Sale:
1. The Virginity Club
2. Me and Mr. Darcy
3. Nineteen Minutes
4. And then there were none
5. Girls in Pants (which was only 9.90!!)

only five since my mom didn't want to spend a lot. I love books, they're so much fun. :D :D

School tomorrow and I haven't done my hw. am I not brilliant? Yes I am!

wish it was

There are many things I would change in my life right now. I guess its normal if you need to fix stuff and so here's a list of my 'must-fix' list.

the list
(petty)
1. my hair. [its miserably out of control. I spend 1/2 hour to fix it. I'm probably chopping most of it again.[
2. my weight. [the ever crappy weight problem which is ... crappy.[
3. my height. [i'm only 161cm now but heck, i'll grow more right? right?![

(the serious)
4. my brother's problem [:(]
5. my family's financial problems [ :/ ]
6. my i hate to study problem

random lists rock. fun.

i wanna hold your hand

school schmool.

I'm going to the book sale tomorrow! :D :D :D currently feeling happy. in a bubbly way. The Beatles are nice right? Thanks to Will for getting me back on it again. LOL. Today's meeting was alright. Eeswary (our sponsor) came in a miniskirt and got a warning from the guard. =.=

I was at school from 7am to 3pm. then I went to church at 4pm since my mom and brother had an appointment with Father Philip. So I watched David train the new altar servers which was hilarious. and he reminded me about how 'terrific' I'm at Additional Maths. boys, honestly!

which reminds me; Chee Khuin and Aik Boon were so surprised that I KNEW a lot about STAR WARS. Well, EXCUSE me but just because you're a girl doesn't mean you can't know what a Death Star is or that Senator Palpatine is the Sith Lord. come on, girls CAN like lightsabers, Star Troopers and THE FORCE.

:)

Made of Honor

Patrick Dempsey. :D

PINK

I'm going through a PINK phase now. Isn't that hilarious? :D :D There's a book sale in Popular, the clearance sale which I didn't know about until after my mom, my brother and I finished buying my revision books in the main shop on the 2nd floor of Summit. We'll probably be going there on Sunday or something to buy STORY BOOKS. :D :D :D

Anyway, I've watched 27 Dresses. Its cute and fluffy like any other romantic comedy. The storyline is reasonable. Yet, isn't this the usual things we look for in a romantic comedy. :) James Marsden made me melt though. He is adorable. :D :D Cyclops, the bumbling Prince and now a cynical reporter; what can he NOT do? LOL

Tomorrow is going to be a mental day. YE meeting after school. Yes, school on a Saturday. I just hope Jess remembers. -.-

new

yup once again a new blogskin. I just needed to shake things up a it in here and found a nice blogskin which pretty much represents who I am at this stage in life. Kuddos to Damien Lockheart for this great work. Its pretty no?

losing

:( this can't be happening to me. it can't. i can't lose another person (and i am glad i didn't). things will get better. it must.

3 words: mom, shut up

I managed to talk to Rae-Wae. :) :) it was nice talking to her after two weeks apart. it was a nice one hour 15 minute conversation. :D :D

:)

From Lifeteen:

ALLELUIA!

Well, here we are at long last, we've begun the great season of Easter so I thought I would take this opportunity to share some thoughts about this special time in our Liturgical year.

This season is perhaps the most important time of the year for us as Christians. It’s a fifty-day long celebration from the day of the Resurrection on Easter Sunday through to the birthday of the Church on Pentecost Sunday. The word itself comes from the Norse language, Eoster, which refers to their season of “the new sun,” a time of rebirth. This notion of rebirth, which is anticipated throughout the Lenten season, is brought to fullness in the fifty days of Easter.

The flow of the season is divided into two parts, the forty days leading up to the Feast of the Ascension, and the ten days between that and the celebration of Pentecost. The first forty days focus on our passage from death to new life and should be an chance for us to rejoice and encourage with one another as a parish community in the areas of our lives that we have allowed Christ to heal us and to stay the course of our faith in the areas that we still need to completely turn over to Him. The days after the Feast of the Ascension move to emphasize the power and the promise of the Holy Spirit as we prepare for the celebration of the Church’s birthday on Pentecost.

The one theme that continually runs through the Easter season is that we should never let ourselves forget that we are called to proclaim with word and action the risen Christ alive in our hearts.

ALLELUIA!

Peace,
Fr. John

easter

Seeing him again was nice. As usual the chumminess was set in place, like we were never parted. I like him in a strange way I guess. Its funny. I try to say I don't when I do. I do like him, I really do. Yet, I will never tell. And even if I do, what next? Nothing. He may like me too. But I know, it'll never change anything. It will be the same. Being like this makes it fun. The nice feeling of the 'unknown'.

Mass was great today. 3 hours. 3 tiring but great hours. My whole day was busy. Bible Knowledge, Chemistry then mass. In the morning I had homework and to pick up my VersaBALLfx. Easter is here people. God bless you!

to Rae

its so strange without you here.
I wish you were
But I guess this is life right?
Its just the way things work out sometimes

I hope you're doing great in JB. I miss you.

school

Surely and honestly tomorrow is school. and I hate school. Honestly. I hate it. Is it my fault I do? wait. Yes it is! My fault I do not do my homework, my fault I'm lazy, my fault I hate it.

How to Survive a Boring Class

from wikiHow - The How to Manual That You Can Edit

If a class really boring, and you find it hard to concentrate on what the teacher is saying, try the following bits of advice, but you might find yourself getting into real trouble by doing them.

Steps

1. Get out a clean sheet of notebook paper and begin brainstorming. Write random things down on it. When you are done, start thinking about them, and figure out how to turn your thoughts into a daydream. You can daydream about things you would like to do, or see. Doing so makes the time seem to pass so fast, that when you look up at the clock, the class period is over, and it will be time to go to your next class!
   
2. Look around the classroom, or at another classmate. Even better, put your head down on your desk. When you do this, make sure you sit at the back of the room so that your teacher might not see you.
   
3. Get out a piece of paper and start drawing. This could also be an opportunity for you to learn something useful.
   
4. Take out a pen/pencil and a notebook and start to write a story. It doesn't matter how good an author you are, just start writing about the first thing you think of. You could write about your life, or about a kid in the mountains. It could be a fantasy, or something that really happened to you. At the end of class, read what you have written. You might want to add to it in another boring class, until you find you have written a short story. Who knows, if you have a lot of boring classes, you could write a book, and possibly even have it published someday and become rich and famous!
   
5. Hurt yourself and cry, or purposely break your pen open and splodge ink all over the desk. This way, you will cause a ruckus.
   
6. Or, pretend you feel sick. This may require a little bit of talent/acting, so make sure you are up to the challenge. When you enter the class, make sure you are holding your stomach (or whatever you wish to pretend hurts). If your teacher asks if you are OK, tell him/her that you do not feel well, and that maybe something you ate is making you feel sick and ask if you can go to the health office. He/she will probably send you to see the nurse. This way, you can get out of classwork for the period, or if you are lucky, maybe even get out of the school for the day.
   
7. Play quiet writing games instead of taking notes so you look like you're paying attention. If your teacher has an annoying or weird habit, like saying, 'Um', or clearing his/her throat, jot down how many times he/she does it.
   
8. If you have a buddy who sits relatively near you, talk to him. It will make class go by faster. If you get yelled at and the teacher moves you away from your buddy, just keep talking. The teacher might move you two closer so you won't disturb class. If you get kicked out of class, oh well. At least you'll have something to do when you're out of class (like talking to the dean).
   
9. Make things to sell to people at school, for example chainmaille bracelets, necklaces, duct tape wallets (be careful about the ripping noise), oragami (good luck finding people to buy that) etc.
   
10. Count things, like the number of tiles on the floor, the numbers of tiny holes in the ceiling, the posters on the wall, or the hairs on head of the person in front of you.
    
11. Get a buddy and play connect 4 on a piece of paper at the back of the class
    

12.My favorite is to bring food to class.. it makes everybody laugh when you play a game with youself and try to eat without the teacher seeing you.. it sounds boring but its really alotta fun if ur not suposed to do it. ill call it.. eyeball dodger lol. when the teacher sees u looking at him wierd when he turns around and doesnt realize that uv abruptly stopped chewing haha, he will give you a really funny look that will also make the other kids laugh. but if your too suspicious ull be a lil hungry. enjoy

Tips

• Plan your excuse...
  
• Try, as much as possible, to do something that you can do while paying partial attention to the teacher--this way, if the teacher calls on you, you'll at least know a little about what's going on and will be able to answer. Try knitting, crocheting, drawing or origami.
  
• When doing anything that your teacher may get mad at you for, be careful to only do it when their back is turned to you.
  
• The writing activities are less likely to call your teacher's attention. Hey, he or she might even think you're taking notes!
  
• If you keep your eyes on the teacher while daydreaming, he/she might think you're deeply concentrated on what he/she is saying. Or possibly that you're a creep.
  
• If you have homework that you want to finish while in the boring class, go ahead and finish it. but make sure to raise your hand and ask a question every so often, to prevent getting caught.
  
• If the teacher calls on you and you don't know what is going on, say you were busy taking notes, or a good excuse.
  

Warnings

• If you get caught, you may be sent to the Deans/Principal's office, Kicked out for that class, or just scolded by your teacher
  
• Do not play all the games at any one class. Just find one that you like, and that will keep your mind off the boring class.
  
• Remember though, that even a boring class has tests, and if you don't listen, and don't do homework, you will fail your tests, fail the class, and might have to take the same 'boring class' all over again. Your grade and education should be worth more than your mental stimulation.
