That's me.

I'm so lonely right now. Not to be emo or anything but there are just too many things happening at the same time.

Life is full of tough choices... I hope God will help my choose the right choice.

I'm so scared of what lies ahead.

Yes. I'm homesick. I don't want to go back to Makati. I want to stay here in Taguig.

F.U.N.

I have new friends yays! <3

Angeline
Nicole
Shieloo
Kimy
Clarice

and..

D:

I forgot the others. >_>

Bad memory!

So yeah, it was so much fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuun!

The only bad parts about my day were the heavy traffic and heavy rain. >_>

It's June 15,2009 and almost all colleges / universities have classes now.


But I don't. x) Lol. Well it's because UST is holding an opening mass today and classes will resume at 2pm. Good thing is, my classes are supposed to end at 1pm so yay for me.


Okay, seriously, I am so nervous. Like really really nervous. I feel like a stupid child lost in the middle of a huge unknown place. I guess every college freshman goes through this phase (I hope.) So yeah, tomorrow, I'll start school. For those of you who are too lazy to read my other entries, I'll be studying in the University of Santo Tomas and I'll take up Special Education. Nice, eh? I really really like the university and I like my course but the only problem with my school is that it's very far. I have to travel like 30-45 minutes from Makati. And I'm not used to traveling from house to school because since elementary, I only have to walk for 3-5 minutes to get to school. It's a good thing that my daddy will take me to school everyday, the bad thing is that I have to commute every single day. Ugh. I can feel my body dying already. Lol. I just wish there's a bus I can ride that will take me directly home so I don't have to ride FX (or if there's none, jeepney) and tricycle. It's not that I'm being maarte, duh, I ride the tricycle a lot. It's just that it would be more convenient to be able to have something like that.

So what's up with me? I've become pixelated! I've always been online for the rest of my vacation because there's nothing fun to do outside of home. >_>
Yeah. My favorite thing to do this summer is to play Ragnarok Online. Private servers though. I've played Dark RO, Kitsune RO, Musique RO, Poison RO and of course my favorite, Realm of Ragnarok. I've never been good in playing RO. Like seriously, I'm a noob. Don't laugh baby. For some reason, I'm just not good at games where it requires patience, combination of cards, armors whatever! For example, DotA (I fail miserably. I <3 Lina though.) and Kingdom Hearts. >_> I'm better off playing HARVEST MOON really.

I hope to be able to write tomorrow about my first day experience.

<3

Yay! I am so totally happy right now cuz mommy bought me a laptop. It's her graduation gift for me since I graduated with flying colors. So yeah. It's sooooo cool. Its color is black and has some shade of dark blue. It looks so elegant, totally my type. :) sooo...thank you so much mommy for this awesome gift! I love you!

Currently, I am ripping songs from my CDs: Inspired - Lea Salonga, One of The Boys - Katy Perry and the HSM3 Soundtrack. I hope to be able to buy more CDs (original) in the future. :) In the meantime, I shall download from Limewire, my best friend. HAHAHA. :D

SUMMER TIME!

Do you remember reading my 2nd post? About the Confucius saying? Well, my waiting really paid off because tomorrow I shall start my piano lessons!!! *jumps up and down* I am so happy! I HOPE that I will be able to learn how to play the piano after this course. :)

By the way, I have enrolled in UST already. Course: Special Education. I'm a scholar! yay! and I'm already a part of this organization called Becarios de UST. Or something like that. :D It's the organization for the university scholars. Pretty cool huh?

Anyways, I am so totally addicted to Ragnarok Online right now. Even though I only play on SUPER DUPER HIGH RATE SERVERS! HAHAHA. But honestly, I've been server hopping for the past few days because I CAN'T FIND A GOOD COMMUNITY!!! ARRRGGHHH! WHAT KIND OF SERVER BANS ITS PLAYERS FROM SPEAKING THEIR NATIVE LANGUAGE!? DUH! It's so stupid. I always and forever will love Shadow Style Ragnarok (dead now....:[) forever because that's where I met my friends Flicty, Xayxay, Netto, Ziddy, Flicty, Revo, Kuya Luis, Pink, Ruri, Naku, Katsuko, Emmy and a whole lot more. It's the best server and one day when I'm already OMG rich, I shall give money to Netto (administrator) so that he can revive the server again!! That is, if RO is still in trend in the next few years. HAHA..

I wrote so much now. Actually, I really just wanted to tell you about my new laptop but a lot of things came to my mind. So...toodles!

I am so glad that I spent my time watching Autumn in My Heart last Friday rather than to use the computer and post a blog entry or else my blog entry shall be full of wrath.

I shall tell you what happened.

We were told that those who cannot have their clearance signed will not be marching come April 3. The problem is, only Aim, Julius, Henrick and I have our clearances signed. The others don't have signature in their Computer / Computer Lab clearance. And do you know what they lack? This livejournal project. I mean, majority of them have their own computers w/ Internet access in their homes.

That's not what ticked me off. What made me so mad is when I saw that some of them... are not even scared to not march! I practically had to one person out of the room and shout at him just to put some sense into his mind.

*EDITED*

It's 2 days before graduation and I am sad to say that I am extremely mad at my classmates. :( Sigh.

Graduation is just a few days away and I have mixed feelings about it. I'm sad because I will be leaving my best friends Aim and Julius and my friends Paulo, Greg, Peter, Henrick and Aaron. I'm also excited since I will be meeting new friends (I've already made some!! :) ) in my new school, which is UST. I will be taking up Bachelor of Elementary Education major in Special Education. So yes, I'm going to be a teacher!! :)) Yay!

Haha. So speaking of graduation...our graduation song will be That's What Friends Are For. It may be too cliche but I really like it. I think it fits us. And our community song will be Farewell. Hahahahaha.

I need to stop writing before I get teary eyed.

I am warning you though that I will cry buckets of water during graduation day. Haha. Maybe. So many people are leaving. :(

Ola people. :) I want to share with you my favorites when it comes to entertainment. You can share yours too!

My favorite song (as for now) would be Thinking of You by Katy Perry.

My favorite singer of course is Lea Salonga.

My favorite movie...hm...The Notebook, probably.

My favorite TV series right now is Gossip Girl.

and lastly, my favorite actor / actress would be.... Rachel McAdams.

Good evening. :) I'd like to introduce to everyone my best friends. Aim and Julius.
These are some of our pictures taken this school year.











Last year, I made sketches of them. Can you see the resemblance?





Aren't I such a great friend?


P.S. This is the alter ego of one of us (Guess who!), the lovely MJ .

After searching the internet for ways on how to put animations using html, I found out that we use the same code for both animations and images. But instead of .jpg, the file extension would be .gif so it will move. :)



So yes, I found that kawaii picture in the internet, where else?

Good evening! It's me again. Since I cannot figure out how to make the Animations HTML (I'm stuck there!), I decided to browse my photobucket and while browsing.. I found this interesting picture. Can you guess who this boy is? He reminds me of the cuppycake boy. So cute!! :)

Who do you think is the mystery guy above? Paulo Julius Michael Peter

I love you...whoever you are. Don't get mad. I am merely acknowledging how cute you were before. :D

At last! Ate was able to send me the picture from her cellphone. Yeah, only one picture. The others were taken by daddy so obviously, the pics are in his phone.

So, here it is:


Yes,that's me. Hogging the baked tahong. hahaha.

I might be a day early but nevertheless it does not interfere with my intentions. :) Happy birthday Pau. Kahit makulit ka, maingay ka, magulo ka, I wish you all the best. You're already 17, another year older and I hope that you realize that now, you have a big responsibility - your future. Again, happy birthday!


By the way, I made this for you. Haha. (It's the thought that counts, right?)

I have a couple websites which I really really love. :)

First is Ranma-Romance.com
Second is Mangafox.com
Third is Fanfiction.net
Fourth is Hmfarm.com
Fifth is Bigsis222.multiply.com

I will update this once I get my memory back. Haha. I haven't used the computer for 2 days. :p

Oh whoopee.

Last March 14,2009 was my dear mother's birthday! Belated happy birthday ma. :)


Mommy's special day started with us greeting her (of course!) and with daddy and Ate Alon debating as to whether we will still go to Greenbelt because Win Win was sick that day. So daddy decided to just stay home at accompany his favorite daughter,his Baby Win . You know, daddy calls me Baby Izza too when he wants me to do something for him.

Well anyway, mommy went to the parlor, ate took a bath, Win Win slept, daddy slept, Banjo slept too and I decided to find layouts for my livejournal. So after a few minutes, I started to get sleepy and finally, I fell asleep. I was already in lalalalala~ love land when Ate Alon woke me up while carrying Banjo and telling me, "Izza, nilalagnat si Banjo! . I rose from the bed and carried Banjo. He really has fever. Oh My Gosh. It's mommy's birthday and Banjo has a fever? Ate Alon blamed Win-Win for it because she caught Win-Win hugging Banjo. Ugh. So, Banjo and I fell asleep at the sofa while waiting for mommy.

So yes, mommy found out, she didn't get mad at all because she knows that it cannot be avoided since we live under the same roof.

After another series of debates (I am not telling who, but definitely I am not included!), we went to St. Anne Church since both of my sibs were sick and we didn't want to go any farther. Mommy told us that we will eat at Dampa with all of our relatives. I haven't been to Dampa yet but whenever there are celebrations, we always order our food there.

I thought we were going to the other Dampa but we went to Dampa sa Libis instead since it's nearer. It's a nice place. There's tiangge there where you can buy perfumes, Hello Kitty stuff, accessories, dvd's and a lot of stuff. They got to purchase things for themselves but I wasn't able to since the only two persons Banjo would allow to be carried by were mommy and I. So poof.

We had this really long table and it was so difficult to talk to my relatives because they're at the other end of the table. Hahaha. The food was really really tasty. None of us knew where to start! There were quite a lot to choose from. Everything was seafood so it's really healthy. I'll give you the list of the food we ate.

1. Baked tahong (My favorite! We had 3 huge plastics just for the left-over baked tahong. Mommy ordered too much.)
   
2. Calamares
   
3. Sinigang na Hipon
   
4. Hipon w/ sauce (the orange sauce. :p)
   
5. Hito (with sauce too! Haha. I don't know what it's called.)
   
6. Chopsuey
   
7. Crabs (I think it was fried. Really yummy.)
   
8. Kohol
   
9. Mangga w/ bagoong, onion and tomato
   

I do not know if I forgot anything, I hope not. So... I can't really post the picture now since my sister (who is in Makati) is taking an awful lot time to send it to me.

Til next time.

Toodles~

Honestly, I've always been an irritable person. Especially when things just pile up and you just want to explode! Fortunately, I am not feeling irritable right now since exams are over! Finally!


So yes. :)

PEOPLE, THINGS and PLACES THAT IRRRRRRRRRITATE ME:

• People who:
  
  1. lie just to escape a certain situation, yeah we all do that but if you do that every single day then you might as well just be avoiding your life!
     
  2. do not help in cleaning the classroom! We all pay the same tuition fees (Well, except for Julius, Aim and I) but yeah, you get the point. You do not have the right to act like a king/queen and let us do all the cleaning.
     
  3. are irresponsible. My goodness! I think you (my classmates!) all know the reason.
     
  4. rely on the three of us (Aim, Julius and I) to do all the group or class projects, cleaning..in short.. do every thing for you. For Pete's sake, that's why we are called a class! We are a group. We have to do things like that together.
     
  5. vandal. Ha-ha. You guys are not only dishonoring the school by doing stuff like that but you are also destroying the cleanliness. PLUS, you are such coward people. Why don't you tell what you wrote directly to that person you wrote that to?
     
  6. farm Errr.. forget that.
     
  7. think they are so great.
     
  8. are only nice to me when exam days are near. Well, finally! I'm going to be college soon so no more like that!
     
  9. say they hate copycats. Well, it's not like you are the pioneer of things,right?
     
  10. sleep in the classroom. Such an ugly sight.
      
  11. do not appreciate classical music and broadway songs. Boo.
      
  12. are vain .

• Things:
  
  1. Anime shows that started beautifully but ended badly.
     
  2. Slow PC's. :p
     
  3. Low grades
     
  4. Traffic
     
  5. Bad subtitles when I'm watching foreign TV shows.
     
  6. Blotting ballpens
     
  7. Sticky stuff
     
  8. Harvest Moon games that are not gamer friendly.
     

• Place(s) that (are, has, have):
  
  1. hot
     
  2. crowded!
     
  3. long lines
     
  4. foul odor
     
  5. polluted
     
     

Woah. That's quite a list. That's just an iota of what irks me.



Toodles~

As much as I want to follow that saying, sometimes, it's so difficult to keep on trying.I'm sure all of you can relate with me.


So, what made me write an entry about this? Well, I am so frustrated about the piano. I've been wanting to play it for like... forever! Okay, honestly, I am writing this entry right now to get rid of my frustrations about not knowing how to play the piano. In short, I want to rant .


The first time I thought my dream will happen was when I was in 1st year. My adviser knows how to play the piano so I when I asked her to teach me, she agreed. She went to my house every Thursday. I thought I really was going to learn how to play the piano but sadly, the first piece she asked me to play was so difficult! It was a worship song that I wasn't familiar with. So yes, you can assume that everything was a failure. After that, the whole "I want to play the piano!" thing slipped out of my mind until...

...the summer of 2008. There was this anime called La Corda D'Oro~ Primo Passo and the concept was all about classical music. So of course, musical instruments are present. The pieces the character played were just simply amazing that I was so inspired and I wanted play like them. So yeah, the "I want to play the piano...again!" thing happened...again. So while mommy, me, my tita, siblings (except Ate Alon) and a couple of cousins were at Robinson's...I don't know which one. Ugh! Well yeah, whatever Robinson's that was, we went to a music store. Mommy's priority really was to buy speakers for our videoke at home so we like, sang to test the quality of the speakers and then, while singing...

I noticed that there were keyboards. We had a keyboard before but that was years ago so it's not working any longer. The keyboards!. They were so cute and very inviting. Do you know that feeling wherein you just want to touch everything? Yes, I felt that. There was this certain keyboard, the brand was Casio, that has tutorial. So even if you don't know how play, you can! You just have to follow the lights and voila! You can be a piano virtuoso in a blink of an eye. I asked one of the personnel to turn it on (most of the pieces there are the ones I am familiar with!) and I played La Chanson de L'Adieu (if you remember, I mentioned it on my previous entry) by Chopin and mommy actually liked the keyboard because it has tutorial.

When I felt that mommy liked it, I realized... "This is my chance!"
A little bit of kiliti there and she finally agreed to buy it for me. And she even said to one of the personnel, "It's not a waste of money to buy this for her because she's very smart."

Now that I have a new keyboard, I became really really determined now to learn how to play the piano so when I found out that someone in Lake View Manors teaches piano, I immediately went there. But actually, I didn't like the teacher very much so I decided not to push through with the lessons.

Another failed attempt on learning how to play the piano.


Sometimes, I think that piano isn't for me. You know, the process of accepting that you can't have what you really want even though you strive hard to achieve it, is really difficult. Especially for me, because I know deep inside that I can do it! I can learn how to play the piano. But still, I don't stop believing that someday, I can play it. Even if it takes a very painful slow process, I will not stop. Just like what Confucius said,

"It does not matter how slowly you go so long as you do not stop."

Good luck to me!

Liszt, Chopin, Tchaikovsky, Beethoven, Schumann, Mendelssohn, Schubert...


Has any of you heard of these geniuses?

Admit it, only a small percentage of teenagers actually listen to classical music. I honestly want to know the reasons why . Is it because of peer pressure? Are you scared that your friends might say, "Ang corny mo naman."? Is it because you think it's boring? Well, I don't believe in any of those things because classical music is just... heaven.

The reason I am being alarmed by this issue is because in the future, classical music might be forgotten! Classical music is where music started from. Yeah, those ear piercing music - wait...do you even call those music? I prefer noise. - started from classical music. Have you heard of Charles Darwin's Evolution of Man? Well, music is pretty much like that. I am quite sure that some of you are raising your eyebrows this moment. But think about it, if none of us knows that classical music exist, that there is such a thing called music, will we be able to create music? I do admit my explanation is a bit complicated but yeah, you get the point. Without classical music, there will be no music at all! Simply because that's where music originated!


Okay, I think I have somehow touched your minds. Now, I'll give you my Top 3 composers:
1. Chopin

- Chopin will always be my favorite composer because he is so versatile. His music touches my heart. You see, we have an electronic keyboard and I've been practicing for some time now one of his pieces called La Chanson de L'adieu or Tristesse. That composition is about parting, saying goodbye, opening a new path of your life. He also composed Fantasie Impromptu, Puppy Waltz, The Revolutionary Piece, Butterfly Etude and a whole lot more!

2. Liszt

- I have read from our MAPEH book that Liszt does not only impress his audience because of his stunning looks but also because of his impressive performances . He was a piano virtuoso at a young age (can't remember!) and my most favorite composition from Liszt would probably be La Campanella. If I can make a wish, it would be to be able to play that piece. Every person who is able to play that piece with grace and emotion simply amazes me. I want to share with you this YouTube video of Aya Nagatomi, a Japanese pianist, as she plays La Campanella by Liszt.


Isn't she great?

3. Elgar

- I chose Elgar because of one reason: I love Salut d' Amor (Greetings to Love). You know, when you listen to it, you actually feel your heart being filled with love. :)

So yes, that's about it. My 2nd entry is done at last! I'm so tired. It's almost midnight and I need to sleep already.

Do you remember the first time you fell in love?




Yes? Well, sorry. I don't want to fill my first ever blog with drama. Can you actually believe it? I've always liked writing, typing, keeping a diary but I've never really tried making a blog... until now. Yes, that's the first time I want to talk about. There are a lot of things that I can talk about but honestly, my mind is not at its best right now. It's 10:12 pm and I'm already wearing my night clothes but I want to finish this day with one journal entry. So yeah, I made an account (actually, WE) here in Live Journal because this will serve as our computer project. We have to apply everything that we learned about html. I personally think that this is the best project ever!

I've never really been a big fan of blogs because even if I said that there are a whole lot of things to talk about, I've never really had the uh...energy to write one. I love reading blog entries though, especially Lea Salonga's blog (which is on multiply!) Yes, I love her so much. Well back to the topic, I'm really happy that I was given the chance to experience actually having a blog. Who knows? I might learn to love this. But as for now, I'm doing this because it's our computer project. So to my classmates, start writing blog entries now!
