Fireworks :D

It's the last day of 2010. Woah! Time really flew fast. It's just been a few days of this new year and it still feels like the last year. Can't you believe it? It's the last day of 2010! And like what I expected... everybody was busy. This afternoon after I woke up, me and my mom went to market to buy the necessary things that we weren't able to buy yesterday. We bought some fireworks like "Lusis", Fountain and "pop-pop". We are not allowed to use other fireworks, it's really dangerous and we are also scared with the gross and creepy commercial about fireworks, you know, the thing where in they didn't even gave privacy to censored scenes like the hand covered with blood... and many more. I know they did it with purpose, so people would be aware with what will happen if they'll be clumsy this new year. Too bad we were not able to buy my favorite firework. sparkler, because it wasn't available at market anymore. When we arrive at home we then prepared for dinner, after dinner we arranged and prepared the things that we need in welcoming 2011. We follow

A little photoshoot with the fireworks.

some myths like putting some coins in the pocket, having 23 kinds of fruits in the table, we cooked different kinds of noodles to have long life, having different kinds of sweets this new year and most importantly jumping 3 times when the clock strikes 12! We followed the folk traditions, there'll be no harm in trying like the oldies said. ;) So i helped mom in preparing.. we went outside to see the beautiful fireworks. We watched the countdown. We are so excited! Fireworks are everywhere. I text and greeted my friends a happy new year, I called my other friends. We turned up the music so loud even our neighbors can here it. =)) Haha! I watch Loko Moko U first because all you can hear outside are fireworks and fireworks and fireworks! And when midnight hit.. it's time to party! Cheers for a happy new year! Everyone's attention was on the
spectacular fireworks. So I go outside the house to see those dazzling fireworks scattered at the sky. I really have a good view with the fireworks. I jumped 3 times, I haven't captured the

The food :P~

jump shot. I screamed at the top of my lungs "HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYBODY!!" haha! After the celebration I go back inside the house again to eat. :D You know, who can't resist those yummy and tasty food? I mean, nobody! haha! I opened my YM so I can greet my father, good thing he's online. hahaha! After the party of course it's sleeping time. Before I go to bed, I pray to worship and thank the almighty God. We thanked Him for all the blessings the trails-- physically, emotionally, mentally and spiritually. And ofcourse for giving us another year. I prayed that this 2011 i'll have a better, happier and more prosperous year. :) The morning I woke up, I came to think of my new years resolutions.. and then I realized I will never achieve those plans. It's not that I don't want to change my self 'coz I do but Im so lazy and I'm pretty sure it will never be achieved. hahaha. I'm so nega! :D Well, by the way have a happy and prosperous new year everybody :)

@ the alley way

Divi day, shorted for "Divisoria day". Another story worth blogging. Mom and I decided to go to Divisoria since Christmas had ended, we hope there'll be less people. I told my mom that we should commute so I can tell lots of stories to my blog. We first rode in a jeep. The barkers yell here, yell there, it's kinda annoying but that's their way of finding a living. We  rode in the jeep for about an hour, cause it's traffic. When we got to monumento we waited for a jeepney going to Divisoria, we waited there for minutes. Then we have known that the place where we are standing is really not the place to wait for jeepneys. So we walk along the road and search for the jeep. It's not my first time to go to Divisoria, it's probably my 2nd time already. I'm not used to the sidewalk vendors on the street! and I even saw a train and beside it are small houses, it's really dangerous out there. When we saw a jeep, we immediately rode on it. We waited for several minutes 'cause the jeepney won't move if it is not full yet. I got annoyed cause the driver keep on calling for passengers. We're all in a jam. When we got to Divisoria a sea of people

The vintage necklaces we bought.

welcomed me. Everybody was pushing and shoving. Even if Christmas had ended there are still lots, and when I said lots, really lots of people came to spent their money. It was like you don't need to walk anymore cause the people will automatically sweep you off. We went to 999, mom told me it was the modern 168. I'm very thankful the mall has a/c! So we walk around. There were lots of stuffs at a very cheap price. I was able to buy blouses, shirts, pants, shorts, vintage necklaces, gifts and stuffs for friends and many more. It was like heaven! It's just awkward cause people will stare at you. After a long walk, we decided to eat at Chowking. Then after that we walk again because the vehicles going back to Monumento are on the other block. While walking, there was this kind of toy store, and I really don't know that it's a toy store at first and at the corner, I met a replica of iguana, it really looks like its real. So I panic because it was moving like a real one. Unfortunately there was a canal in front of me, I wasn't able to look down because I was running with the wind! My right foot fell. >.< Good thing mom was able to buy a towel so I sat at the bench and clean my self. It was really gross, seriously. T_T Then we finally reached our destination. But there were lots of people waiting in line also for an FX going to Monumento so we decided to rode on a tricycle. Then we waited again for another vehicle to drive us home. I was excited to open the plastic bags to check the things. The best thing about going to Divisoria besides the great deals and cheap prices is the moment when i get home and i think to myself that i really didn't spend that much. I can't wait to go back again, but I'll probably won't commute anymore. :|

Oh Christmas tree!

December 25, it's christmas day! I really don't feel the spirit of Christmas, honestly. Even though we have Christmas trees, Christmas decors all over the house, something's really missing. I miss those days when we're complete and happy. This morning I wasn't able to get up from bed early. I woke up 11 a.m. My sister didn't even bother waking me up. :| When I sneak out from the window, I saw everybody was in their casual wear with their wallets full of money. And I decided to take a bath and change clothes, I was in my pyjamas, really. I told my mom, I

The doodle I made.

don't wanna go out from the house. My mom keep on forcing me, cause nobody's at home, except me. I decided to sit down at the back porch and made a doodle about Christmas. I greeted every people passing, not really everyone. =)) And our neighbors keep telling me that I'm really a teenager now, and i have changed physically. It isn't really my habit to go outside the house without any event. :D At lunch, we decided to eat together with my cousins. We were not able to go to Lola's house at Taguig 'cause they were in our province, Leyte and some of my cousins were not in the Philippines. Too bad, were not complete. :( Even dad wasn't able to come. My other cousins who were able to come invited me to watch movie. We planned to watch the last full show of Ang Tanging Ina Niyong Lahat. I slept and made a little bonding with my sisters. We watch a movie marathon at house and eat lots of food. I checked my Facebook then many of my friends greeted me. I'm so happy that some people remembered me. I wasn't able to greet everybody so I said I'll just make up for it next time, this 

Crap! Don't mind me. >.< Hahaha!

new year actually. It's dinner time we ate again altogether. And it's time for the giving of gifts! I didn't receive anything so mom promise me something. :"> I'm really excited for it. It's already 10 o'clock when we went to SM North edsa to watch movie. It wasn't traffic that time. When we went there there were still lots of people. We take too much time searching for a parking lot! And finally we reached the cinemas. \m/ While we were waiting for Mom to buy tickets and food, I sat down the stairs. It was funny 'cause people who were sitting at the stairs are dating =)) Me and my cousin tripped ourselves, we pretend we were on relationship! =)) Bwahahahah! Mom finally got the tickets and since it's not starting yet, we decided to do shopping but unfortunately, the boutiques were closed. We have no choice but to go inside the cinema. When we got there, There were no vacant seats! So we sat down the stairs. =))) hahaha! After a minute people started to go home, then from the time they left we immediately replace the available seats. We caught up with the not-so-last part of the movie. So when the lights were turned on, i decided to sit beside my cousin. There was a little flag ceremony before the movie starts. And when the time came... it's time to sit back and watch! It was so funny! Everybody was laughing so hard because of the tandem made by Eugene Domingo and Ai Ai de las Alas. It's funny and at the same time some scenes made us cry.

Mama Mary & Papa Jesus.

It's December 24 and tomorrow's the big event! It's Christmas day! We should all be ready for the big event... so my mom and I decided to have a little party at home for the whole family but dad wasn't able to come home. :( We went to save more to buy necessary things for later. We bought pastas, meat and poultry, etc. There were so many people in there. We even meet some neighbors there. We went home as soon as we can, coz' it's really crowded. Went we reached home, we made a checklist, then we realized we forgot the ketchup. The bagger wasn't able to put that in the plastic bag! It costs 45.00php. =)))) We decided to just buy again next time. I helped my mom in preparing food. At night there were lots of street parties in our compound. I decided to attend the last mass. At mass, i

The famous St. Nicholas.

saw lots of Graceans there. I saw Alan, Aleizza and Kath, Jae, etc. I wasn't able to greet them personally, cause they hurriedly went home. So on our way home, I saw Christmas lights, flash here and there and street parties on the block. I'm pretty sure everyone was excited for later. When i reached home, my mom's now finished cooking. I stood in front of the table and started to drool. :P~ Hahaha! Mom saw me with those eyes and told me that I can eat early but I refused to because I want to eat with our whole family. I opened my Facebook account first so I can give my greetings to my friends, I even loaded my cellphone so my greeting would still reach people who were not able to go online. While I'm busy typing greetings for friends, my sisters and cousins had a little party outside. They went home with lots of candies and prizes. Minutes have passed and it's... Jesus birthday! It's time to party =)) It was my plan to eat lots of food, and next year i'll do diet. Hahaha! After eating my mom gave me money, it's her gift for me. Hooorayyyy! I'm really excited for tomorrow, I hope I'll be millionaire for once in my life! =)) I made lot's of group messages to greet my classmates and friends. My cousin who were from far away, made a sleepover with us. We made bonding. Too bad we were not able to capture the moments. :|

Gift.

Finally, this is the day we've all been waiting for. It's Christmas party! When i woke up, i thought i was really late, and someone have told me that the late comers will have some kind of penalty. So I hurriedly rushed out from my room. The night before the party, I wasn't able to wrap those presents cause we're not able to buy Gift wraps. :| That morning I told my mother to accompany me to market, but she said she'll just make a favor to my cousin. Then I went to school, but when i got there, Fredline, Princess and Aira are the only one who was there. Aira failed to go to Chooks To Go! last night so we decided to buy necessary things including the roasted chicken. We went back to school, and there... my classmates are now ready for the party. \m/  There were lots of games and prizes with their beautiful outfits and everything. I remember our first game, Trip to Jerusalem. On the last part,

Me and Hazel

 me, hazel and Emman, we're the ones who were left, I didn't won, Hazel did.  We ate.. a lot! We have two kinds of carbonara, yummy! We have icecreams, cakes, etc. During our exchange gift, we were asked to describe the one who we picked. I described her then i gave the gift--my gift was a sparkling magazine, cause' she's really obsessed with K-Pops and pack of school supplies from her wishlist. Then my secret santa had also described me ironically as "matangkad, maganda at sexy" =)) I was happy 'cause she gave me 36colors of oil pastels and a pair of FaberCastell. My friends-- Aira, gave me a bag of telephone wires. Hazel gave me a stuff toy and Ronell gave me a CandyMag Posterbook. I gave them a dolphin stufftoy in exchange :D We dismissed the party early. Since it was the last day of school this year 2010, we decided to have a bonding. We decided to go to SMF after the party.When we were on our way, Ronell refused to come with us,  we didn't know that thing,

And then again, us.

he just ran out. So Hazel and I decided to follow him and ask for him a permission. So we told the others to just go to SM first, them we'll just catch up with them. Ronell joined us, we decided to have a bonding first.   We made photoshoots at SM. hahaha! Finally, we saw each other.  We do window shopping, we tripped ourselves, we ate and ofcourse we enjoy. :D In our way home.. the rain poured, we got wet. :| Good thing we were able to run to SaveMore. After that, we separately go home. I joined Sheila, Ronell, Hazel and Rendrick. And the others went home alone. It was really fun and tiring.

Alan

December 9, It's Alan's Day! Before his day, we decided to come up with a little surprise. We-- Me, Hazel, Kim and Aira decide to buy five-peso cake or should I say a cupcake. Haha! We assigned each other different flavor we even assigned our classmates a candle, a candle brought at cemetery is enough. Hazel for the BirthdayCard, i was assigned for the lighter and a cake. So the next day, the plan failed, I forgot to bring the plastic bag which I left in my room, it includes the cupcake and the lighter. So we ended up searching, Good thing there's a store in front of the school, we asked the owner if we can borrow a candle, so she brought us the candle, a candle brought in the cemetery. Before lunch time, Alan is promoting his birthday celebration which will be held at Jollibee. So we did everything for him, we talk to him nicely like we're saints, we don't tease him we even praise his works. Lunch time comes we decided to execute the plan during English Subject. There's one funny thing that happened with Alan and Francis. It was during filipino time, Alan made a project, 

Eating time.

 we decided to insert pick-up lines and Hazel have come up with a brilliant idea, he printed a picture of a nude-top man. But before he was able to read that, the most awaited moment had arrived. Iloseo was there knocking the door. We opened it slowly for a thrilling experience. And tadaaaa.. Iloseo gave him the "smooch" cupcake. He blushed... alot. He's like a talking tomato. hahaha! We forgot to capture the precious moment of Alan. Then Iloseo had left, he still can't get over with the happening. He was there at his chair, day dreaming. so we gave him the moment. He then read the card, we even teased him that he was not after the message, he's after the picture of the guy. He go infront to have a speech saying
