A tale in a far-off land

I was there. And I have been working a dilemma, for my friend. She ran away, scared from being in trouble. She texts me about her daily troubles, and she doesn't tell me about where she was. So, trying to resolve the problem, I went to her house. I met up with her dad and formally called him out. I didn't want to bother the others. I called him out because I wanted to negotiate, to negotiate her safety so she could get back home. I was concerned. At first, the dad was very suspicious of my actions. He harassed me with questions. "Why are you here?" "What do you want with me?" "Who are you?", he didn't know it, but his questions were going to be answered if he stayed quiet and listened. "I heard that your daughter ran away. *walks closer*, Have you heard from her??"
He replies "No."
Invading his authority, I tell him "Maybe I can help. She's been texting me a while now. I can help you. HOWEVER, even I do not know where she is." The dad was speechless yet hesitant. I can see in his face that he needed proof, proof of it all. I, then, showed him a text message. A text message with the recipient, her name. The dad walks back. Thinking of what had happened. I question him, "Negotiations? I want to get her back to you as much as you, but will you promise to not give her any trouble whatsoever." Surprisingly enough, the dad agreed.
Thinking it was over, his voice soared throughout the hallway, "In return, will you quit close-up club?" Being in the middle of this all, I couldn't refuse. I agreed with him, leaving with a saddened posture. I will have to do as promised. It's hard for me to break a promise.

The next day, I texted HER, and persuaded her to meet me in the mall. It took 8 messages to persuade her, she was really stubborn, something you'd expect from someone who ran away. As I park by the mall, I see her waiting by, relaxed and clustered somewhat, holding that cell phone by her hand. A glimpse of her made me want to stop the car already. As I walk closer, I acted cool. I never really liked showing emotions. I look at her, with her tattered and weirdly put together clothes. I get closer and closer and then I texted her, "I'm here." As she receives the text message with a funky ring tone, she looked around. I just stood there next to her, like a statue until she noticed. She looked at me with tearful eyes. Trying to recognize me, she scratched her eye, so that she was sure it was someone she knew. Our eyes met, I smiled. The instant she had a hint of recognition, I crept closer, closer and closer until I was there, right in front of her. I smiled and out of nowhere, I slapped her. Confused and bewildered, she steps back, her hand rushed to the place where I slapped her. It almost seemed like a teardrop was about to make its appearance. Not letting the situation take over me, I hugged her, as deep as I could. She hugged back but not with emotional feelings, but with confusion. When I was hugging her, I whispered into her ear, "If you were a guy, I'd punch you. I was seriously worried." Emphasizing my worry, I swayed back and forth as I hugged her. This hug lasted for minutes. Hoping to cheer her up, I took her hand and led her into the mall. She questioned me so I replied, "You must've been hungry, let me treat you." Hours on out, we roamed the mall and talked without end. We also ate many treats and played many games. It was as if an old friendship was rekindled. After all this, we were both tired. She was more tired than me. When we got into the truck, she fell asleep. I thought that it was about time I brought her home even though I have not told her about it yet. I drove with much worries in my mind.

When we got to her house, she was fast asleep. I didn't want to disturb her, but I was nearing my exhaustion point as well. Thinking it would be rude to wake her up, I carried her gently, like a princess, towards her door. As I knock, the father answers. When he recognized me, he quickly moved out the way. I took her inside and let her down somewhere. Before I walked out, I shook hands with her dad. The deal was established.

The next day, we had school. As promised I was going to quit the close-up club. I went to the meeting as usual, and talked to others as usual. When it reached "Privilege of the Floor", I raised my hand and went towards the front. While being the center of the attention, I announced my suspension. I wouldn't step into that classroom ever again.

A few days go by, and I go about my usual business. There were less things for me to do and I was able to see her safely. Others questioned the reason for my suspension, because I would lie when that comes up. I probably worried her with my actions. The light fades, darker, and darker.

Late in the game

I have really fallen behind of this blog. Who do I blame?? My sleeping habits and the homework, thats what! I have been "late in the game" lately, and I won't be able to catch up. So, taking everything in consideration, I'll fast forward this blog. Thats ryt, you are going to read about the more recent events. This is not to ditch older events like the NHS Picnic or the tennis practices, but for the sake of my time,, I need to do this. I have many things to do as is, dont you think?

So, recent events, recent events. Yesterday's, I had stressful times in class. In English, we spent time talking about the book and the essay. We even talked about Copacabana. There were some stuffs to talk about. It took a bit of our time. I wanted to hear some of the essays, though, but Ms. Palacios didn't require us to read it. I guess time was not on our side.Oh well, I wasn't so confident with my essay anyway. Let's see.... We talked about other stories and then we finally read it, "Son". Now, this story sucked hard core. You know why?? Well, it was very confusing. He talked a lot about "He" and it confused us to which he is supposed to be. I really don't like the story. Putting my interest something else though,, I read about in that story, about the well sweating. Is that how they have water? Anyways, after a little while, I went back to deciphering the malicious code by John Updike. I never knew stories could be this confusing. Ahhhhhhh,, At the last ten minutes or so, we did something else but I already forgot. Thank you forgetful brain.


As I walk back to my hangout, Gladys tells me that she got this many wrongs in the Latin words and made mistakes on the singing. Now, that just made me nervous. So, before the bell even rang, I went over to the choir room. So, as I paced back and forth, I studied those Latin words. At first, I was studying the wrong thing, Stupid me. When Kaira and Roxette were finally there, they corrected me on what to study. Lucky me!!! So, I studied until I got the hang of every little word. I even wrote down in a piece of paper the whole Notes without using my notes. It was then that I knew that I was truly ready. When she passed out the test, it looked remarkably easy. I was confident on my test. I even had time to sleep. When I see my test, it was a whopping 100%. Whew,, that's one down. So, next we had the singing test!,, When we practiced outside, we were very discombobulated. We were not very good at all at that rehearsal. We also made many mistakes. After finishing, we just like okayed it even though it was still not up to par. We came inside, and we were very nervous to go first. For some reason that day, I could not go very high in my singing at all,, even in the warm up! So, this was a disadvantage for me. In contrast to the written test, I wasn't very confident at all. It was a very good thing that we didn't go first. As they sang, I was looking at my folder of music. I was looking for their mistakes. I found one out. They made a mistake on Take Me (the second part),, they have sung it like the first one. Haha, everyone made a mistake. It was a good thing it wasn't on my group. Our turn came up next. I was relaxed and a bit nervous. So, it started. Like a dream set free. Lightly fly away. On a rising wind. On a golden day. High above a tehning woeld. Racing with the sun. We will dream a thousand dreams, before this day is done. (I forgot to crescendo). Take me-e higha.(everyone stayed together on this one,, even though we always don't in the practices.) Golden wings to carry me above. And beyond the sky a place where angels sing. Spi..rit.. Soa.. ring... In the light of morning we go. One by one and alone to walk the winding road. Here we stand as one befo-ore you. (Damm were too loud!!) All our yesterdays are gone. Now we sing about tomoorow, with one voice on song. Cross that mountain high(now that was piano). Down that winding road. Travelers now we fly. On this golden day. High above a tehning woeld, Racing with the sun. We will dream a thousand dreams, before this day is done....... Take me(yes! we got it,, we never got it in practice) Higher. Golden wings to carry me above. And beyond the sky a place where angels sing, Rising wind, take me higher. golden wings to carry me above. And beyond the sky a place where angels sing. And my spi..rit.. soaring. In the light of (made a mistake here) mo-orning we go. One by one(I Sung it girl's octave(shimai)) and alone to walk..that..wind..ing.. road,, take.. me.. higher......................................*stops* That concluded our song test. I did fairly well but not exceptionally. I hope I didn't get a bad grade. After much worries with kaira and roxette, the class ended. Ms Sablan says, "Have a good weekend guys." I replied, "Have a good weekend too Miss,,, Don't listen to our voices too much. Hahaha" ^.^, Still talking about the test, I walked down with Kaira to her hangout. Minutes later, Jon joins our company. I asked him about the Mcdonalds sign up sheet for carwash and said that Kristine probably has. So, we walk down to the meeting place. We were talking about tennis and yah since I had the racket that day. We arrived at the place first. Unfortunately, I still had to use the restroom. So, we went to the restroom meeting others along the way.

With shortage of time, our meeting was rather disorganized. It feels like they are not used to this at all. Anyways,, it was kinda disorganized but at least we talked about a lot. Hahaha,, shifts, events, organization. We got it done. Whew.. After it was done, I hurried to my japanese class because I knew we had a test. I left the other guys,,,, Gomen-ne,,... I had to really study even though I had talent in Japanese because of my Anime classes ^.^,, So, I was given the test. It was a test worth challenging head on, but I didnt feel like doing a test. Ahhh!!!,, I already crammed a little on Choir and stuffs. It was really bad for me. Ahhh!!,, He even had some written in Hiragana, so I had to read it off symbol by symbol. It sucked! It took me long. He gave us a sheet for hiragana letters though,, but it didn't help me in shortening the time for the test. I spent about 45 minutes or so for that quiz. The test consisted of 6 parts. I really didn't want to do it. But, it had to be done. After I finished the test, I was confident of an A. I wouldn't second guess myself when it comes to Japanese. ^.^ Since I finished it faster than the others, I slept. zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz. When I woke up, he gave us some really annoying information. That test is YOUR STUDY GUIDE!!!! Holy crap! I worked so freaking hard! Ahhhh,,, oh well. I was going to get an A but it was ummmmmm not needed for now. My knowledge was too wide for myself. After class, I met up with tennis buddies to wait for the time.


Tennis...... Just as we were grouped together, we already talked about rides. Lorenz had a time set for his pick up so we wanted to know who could go early with him. We could always use Nicko but the question is, who goes first?? Well, we decided to decide on that as the time came. I don't really make decisions good. Saying all we needed to say, me and the guys went to the nearby restroom. The girls picked the locker room for their changing. We picked the restroom because we were men. As we change, I questioned myself if the others were men. They had to use the cubicles to change. Haha,, I was wearing shorts inside though,, Idk about them. As we were getting ready, a teacher went into the restroom. We were also very loud by that time. At times, I wonder how much embarrassment we give ourselves. Whoo!!! We get out of the restroom and we see others going ahead to the tennis courts. We try to look for the girls and they were already walking down. We tried to catch up but we didnt make it. They were walking at the same velocity as us, so we never caught up. When we got to the tennis court, we just stood around teasing each other and what not. We even played tennis a little. I hit the balls to the other court and all, but I never returned correctly. The rallying was fun. But then, the worst came, it started raining hard core. It was a good thing that most of our stuffs were at Maribelle's car. Sorry if i spelled it wrong. I know I've seen it before. Putting that aside, We were having fun. Until, THAT came. It started raining. It was nothing to worry about, just a few drops. Everyone was still fooling around, wanting to play tennis. Then, it got harder. We scrambled for protection. Some people used Maribelle's car as shade. Some of us were lusting to play though. Even though it was raining, they were trying to play. We called them back though since there might be troubles playing in the rain. I know, since, on my second time playing tennis, I actually fell down three times. I'm a little more cautious. Anyways, the rain poured harder and harder. We couldn't stay under the coconut tree anymore. A lot are getting wet already. I even offered my jacket and Lizzie Belle took it. As a team decision, we went for the plan on running to campus. We ran. There were two people in front of me. And right beside me was an underclassmen. I held her racket for her so she cud ran faster. I was running for a while. It was safe to say that I was one of the first people to reach shelter. Hahaha, when I look back, other people were walking and some are very tired. My first destination was the restroom. I squeezed my shirt and did whatever. Ahhhh. After that, we had time to chat, tease, and try to hurt each other. That rain really got us. We all decided to go home and that's what we did. Me and Jonah hitched a ride from Lorenz. I was tired when I got home. Darn. I didn't do my homeworks for the next day. Y.Y

(?・・)σ Bryce Rant

Hahahahaha, this is not Bryce, but actually Kristine. xD.

Yoroshiku ne~

So yeah, since Bryce and I decided to switch blogs for a entry, I should rant about the owner himself. This entry will be specifically about Bryce himself and my point of view about him and such.

Hmm, where should I start?

Bryce Briones, at first glance I already knew he was talkative. I really have no clue how we met though we only knew each other during this year. I guess it's because of Nicko. Nicko is the main reason I met Bryce and everything took off from there.

Even though its just a short while, I feel like I met him ever since. He's a great friend with a great personality. That's what matters, ne?

His bad points are...well he thinks too much. So much he worries and stresses himself. Calm down Bryce, everything will be fine lol~ And sometimes he could be too carefree that he underestimates the situation. [If this doesn't apply to you, please disregard my character judgment xD] His emotions are too well kept---it makes me wonder if he's mad. I mean, I do become so mean to him sometimes like using his money and stuff. [Sorry Bryce] And his logical things to illogical jokes are not funny~~~

His good points are...he could drive! xD I like his julunkie truck~it works! He's easy to talk to, and manages his emotions well [too well, check the negative points for more details]. He's good at math, and taught me once. Its good to have friends who likes your worst subject. Knows how to handle those dollar bills--save and give. Nice points yo. He likes to help, to volunteer, and is always there for his friends. I remember when someone doesn't have a ride, even though how far they are he'll say, "oh yeah, I'll pick you up." I bet you he knows where all our friends live by now.

There are more points, some to be discovered later on. But in the end, what makes Bryce special is that he is Bryce. I hope he doesn't change xD.

BRYCE PICTURE SPAM:

Bryce's Truck~so famous

LoL~ xD Tennis anyone?

Fill In the Gas!

He and his stupid moments ~

New,fun, and planted smirks

• Here in my computer

• Betcha people reading this




• Will very well be sorry




• 
  




• There shouldn't be any reason to fret




• For I come u with things to write




• But the topics were taken by the blog




• so, I should keep my poems tight




• 
  




• To cover all the bases that the blog could not




• And to give the rhyming sensation to all my readers




• I hope it all doesn't get boring,




• and I hope that my poetry gets better

Well, ideas are hard to come by nowadays. Usually, ideas just pop in my head,, especially with poems,, but it seems hard to make some right now. It sucks because it makes me feel dumb. It makes me feel stupid. I always liked rhyming poems,, though sometimes they don't make sense. I just.....just... liked it. Maybe, I'm just not cut out for writing poems. Hahaha,,, sukz to be me.,

There was this day that was really busy yet really fun. I was wanting to write on it since ever since. I never really had the time to blog about it, though. There has been a lot of things taking place. With things happening one after the next, I couldn't even write up a list of ideas for this. I'll just free write this blog for it is too long to even plan up. I hope you are ready,, this might even be longer than the others.

So, my day started very early. As usual, I picked up Jacob and Nicko. Hahaha,, as always,, we fooled around in the truck. Because I haven't been to Tumon in a long while, I didn't really know which beach is which. We were supposed to go to Matapang Beach. Going Down from Kmart, we turned left. We went to the big park there and tried to find others. It wasn't Matapang Beach at all. It took a call to persuade for them to persuade me we were at the wrong beach. Aren't I stubborn??

So, we headed back to the other way, where the real Matapang Beach was at. We went to the hotel and followed wherever the road took us. Fortunately, it took us to Matapang Beach. YAy!!! As we come down to the tent, I already see some familiar faces. Of course, I recognize those of our Close-up. But, I also see of some Sanchez. Hahaha. When we got there, a teacher(I think Mr. Chargualaf) gave us pieces of construction paper. Me, Jacob, and Nicko were separated. Hahaha. So, I went on to find a group. I say "hi" to Julius and found out he had the same color, so I stayed with him, hahaha. We knew a bit about each other considering that we were at the same middle school. I mean, come on,, Its Julius!!,, the quiet trumpeter. Oh well, while conversing about life and what we had to do,, we were later joined by another guy. This guy was named Angelo. That makes four of us in the group, so the original group were going to introduce each other, and I'll take the newly-joined person. So, there we were, conversing about whatever when the introductions started. Now, we were not prepared at all,, we didn't have anything written on our papers at all. We had to... uhhhh... write each other's info down... when they were introducing. I feel so guilty!! hahaha,, the intros that stuck to mind is Shanice's, she was talkative, fast, and actionful(if that is even a word) haha. A lot of the intros were all quiet. haha. The audience actually played a key role for the energy of the presentation. On Nicko's and Jacob's group. They were quiet also. Their third member was quite good at making others laugh. Hahaha, he tried to rap and showed us some poses. After the introductions, we were going to do the school song. Jena and Kristine some time ago. Now, in our song,, we had, zchane, zchalyn, lynden, alysa, jacob, LB, Kristine, nicko, jena, cheery, and karmela. I think that's everyone,, sorry if I missed anyone. That's not that much people. Fortunately, the girls knew how to sing haha. not like me, nicko, or jacob. haha. So, the group headed to the beach for a meeting. If you've ever heard the JFK school song,, it is not a high energy song. It focuses more on skill and blend and praise(i guess). Plus, we did not know it fully. We were screwed. We had to try calling some people. We tried calling Kojay, and he was going to text it to us. We still didn't have any lyrics at all!! For five minutes or so, we practiced, "Kennedy, Kennedy, we sing to you Our alma mater dear." What a waste of practice time. We could see the others already ready to jam, and we were still panicking. Glory, and Behold, the teacher by our side found a picture on her cell. It's definitely a sign. Some mysterious power wants us to perform the JFK song. So, there we have it,, a song for us to perform and less time to practice it. To be able to perform, we write the lyrics down,, well,, Jena did. We had to use Cheery's paper, which I have not yet given to her.

****************The performances begin*******************

The first two were Okkodo and GW. Their alma maters were good. These were made for cheering!,, We started to get nervous. We were already putting ourselves down because ours were actually a song rather than a cheer. What bad match up. Just imagine,, they have some screaming or whatever,, and ours are very formal. Singing with posture and probably some restriction. Anyways, the next up was Sanchez. I can tell they had some ideas put to use. They had a formation with Camille in the middle and the others lined up at the side. Camille screams something and then the line proceeds to the middle. Three boys were also doing some breakdancing or some fancy stuff. Then, they join together to do the rest of it. How organized. Finally, it was our turn. Can you believe it?? We walk up to the front. First Lorenz said the mission statement. I tell the audience "Sorry, it's tradition" and they laugh.. Hahaha. We were going to start now. The formation was that Lorenz was up front conducting us while all the others are bunched in front of him. I was on the upper left corner of this holding a piece of paper which had our lyrics. Haha,,. While singing,, I was trying to keep low. But, I always mistook the notes for the chorus,, always going a bit higher than I would. Anyways, we did good. We stayed in one spot, but we sung beautifully. They did at least, I had much mistakes. Oh, well. When we finished, people were not as loud. haha. The power of music?? Maybe so. As I get back to the place where we hanged(near the foods), I heard Nyssa saying, "I have goosebumps." I guess we pulled it off. We might actually listen to the alma mater now. hahaha. What a lesson to learn. The last of the performances was the Southern. The teacher explained that they didn't actually have an alma mater. So, they improvised. They made one up. They used a cheerleader's concept and something on the side. They messed up on the cheerleading concept though, they had to restart from the beginning. They were cool though, making something up that fast. Now, all the schools had performed. They had to pick a winner now. Who had the best one?? I was sure it wasn't us because one of the categories was energy. hahaha. So, who won exactly?? The winner is.......*drum roll*......... Sanchez! haha i think.

whoo!!!,, that was a sweat. It was time to do the food next, though. Food, food, food!!! When the main advisor for close-up said, "We need to say grace." I started opening up the food already. I was hyper still and I opened each fast. One of them wouldn't open. I pulled as hard as I can yet it did not work. I gave up on that. I'm pitiful, haha. Anyways, we were worried about the food. Jonah had yet to come, and she had the food. We waited, we waited, and waited. But, then, before anyone started eating, Jonah arrives. She had the food with her and I took one box to set to the table. As I opened the thing, it looked scrumptious. How do asians do it??? The lumpias looked especially good. Well, considering my nature, I was not the first in line. At these times, Lorenz announces his leave and what we still have to do. I asked Kristine for the instructions and stuffs and said he didn't know. I went back to Lorenz and said that Kristine had the instructions for the hula hoop game+ scavenger hunt. Going back to Kristine, I told her to come with me to clarify everything. I wasn't really a main part of planning this so I do not really know about everything. So, Kristine and I sprinted to Lorenz's direction. I got there first even though I was wearing my BBall shoes. I didn't like the distance though. That could very well be 50 meters haha. When I got there, I asked Lorenz the same question. Thinking on how to solve this confusion, I look back to where Kristine is supposed to be at. She would have already gotten to us especially since she sprinted with me. Looking back, I see that she was hiding from the sun at the back of a Latte Stone or something. Hahaha,, we laughed at her. Refusing to come out, like the sun had a death ray with its beams, we had to go close to her for the conference. Well, we were not at all sure where it is. Even with the minds of three, the location of the darned paper was still unknown, unseen, and undetectable. I even remember Lorenz reaching into his inner pockets just to check if the piece of paper was there. Now, I do not quite recall who really had it. It was probably Kristine or Lorenz or some other in close-up but at last we found it. We found it and I skimmed it a bit to grasp the general idea. I think I got it. With speed and accuracy, I have imagined what it would look like. I hope it was a good interpretation though. For the future of close-up depends on it, Hahaha. Anyways, I finally grab my food. I took some hot dogs(you can never go wrong), chicken, much rice, the noodles that Jonah brought, some lumpia, and even ribs. Magically, it all fits in the plate. It was organized. The meat on one side and the lumpia and noodles in the other. The rice was resting under the meat and some made its way to the bottom of the noodles. Taking Jacob with me, I eat at the beach. Feeling uncomfortable eating while standing,, I go sit down and talk with Jacob. I eat and eat and eat. At one point, I see my old buds at the beach. I have some friends on the close-up already. But, these two are the ones I hung out with after Mid school(I stayed at his house to play wii). Haha,, it was weird to see them. Their names were Jerrold and Auston. So, I tell Jacob to go back to the grup so I can chat with those two. Well, these two weren't here for Close-up. Jerrold was a member of close-up but he brought Auston with him who was not a member(but he helps though) to there so he feels guilty. He said that he COINCIDENTALLY decided to swim on that day on that beach, which was a huge lie. Hahahaha. So, I lead them nearer to the food. I keep on trying to persuade them to eat but they really won't. We were at near the pavillion,, where the sanchez hangs. Talking and talking, trying to get them to eat. Pitiful indeed. I was eating while doing this. Is that stressing?? So, I walked away, hoping they would eat to where the grup was at. They were near the food table. Hahahaha, They were right where the cookies were seriously!! Well, I was almost done with my food,, I think I got water for someone,, couldn't remember. I also remember Kristine tried to put trash on my plate. So, I was eating and eating,, Ahhh finally finished. So, I threw away my plate and I also took a cup of water. I go back to the group. Here, they were taking pictures. They were using Reina's camera. I think I snapped pics with. I remember the peace sign picture with Jena and Kristine. I had a cup on my other hand so it fits perfectly on the chronology. Now, I wasn't sure if we played the two games,, partner grabbing and the untangling circle before this time or after this time, but I'll explain what happened. For the partner grabbing, there was a number called out and you have to find the number of people relative to the number to interlock hands with and sit down, so you are not eliminated. The first number was 8 i think. I was still in the group. The second 7, I was still in the group. Then wen the number was 6, I wasn't needed. I only figured that out when I counted who was near me. So, I ran to the other side and asked for assistance. One group took me in, haha, we didnt need words. They just took my hand and sat down and opened conversations while waiting. Now, the numbers gets pretty randomized after this point. They came up with a number, I stayed within the group. Then when another number came up, I quickly ran to another group for safety. Whew!!! When they said another number,, I didn't know where to go. I looked and looked and finally I knew,, there werent enough people. I couldn't make it. For some reason, the attention was shifted towards me,, so I did a dramatic NO!!!!!!! and I was down to my knees. Ahh, then I went back to the Nicko and those guys. For the untangling, I remember Jena and prob Kristine was at my group. I also remember Nyssa and I think there were only two guys. So, we put out our hands in the middle, and connected our hands to a random hand. We didn't need to strategize haha. On our first try, I was facing back. Hahaha, I that was the way to untangle us. When the real thing came up,, I was facing front. Now, it was pretty hard trying to untangle. Sometimes, we had to go down and up so that no one gets hurt. Slowly but surely, we untangled ourselves. Our group finished second or third. It was easy enough. Speaking of chronology, I think before Jonah arrived, there was time for mingling. So, there were groups, we attracted people to our groups. I knew some people already, but now I knew more. There was Shawn and Anjela and Rene and Ambrenalyn?? and some more more people. I dont remember their names anymore. But, I was at one group ryt?? like there were 5 of us. And then more people came, and then more. We were somehow popular, and told jokes. But when It got pretty big, I got an idea. Hahaha. I told them that were so popular we need to spread it. hahaha. So we dispersed into other groups. When I was finished with that group, I dispersed once again. When I went to my grup, a friend of mine said Hi to me so I introduced him to them. And then, I went to where the Southern were at, I introduced myself. I got two names and that's it. Talking was tiring. Sorry it's confusing, but Bare with me,, we'll see it through!! ^.^ So, going back to after eating. After conversing a while, the girls, had to leave. Bye! and now, I was the thing as close to an officer. Fastforwarding a bit, it was time for our game. I took a hula hoop with me and then I went to announce it, our game. Unorganized, we went to the field. It was hot, and the food didnt help. I had to also manage things at this point. So, we interlocked their hands. I got people onto group. I gave them a hula hoop. But, everything was still not uniform. I got questions here and there. I went back to check each one all the time. I made sure of the number of people. Some had 8 but I just cut it to 7. At first, the hands were interlocked, but after so many questions,, they just held their hands. OMG,, hard decisions ryt? I'm even the indecisive part. I also had to give instructions as to when to give the hula hoop, how, and etc., making it up as I go. Whew! To make sure everyone had the concept, I gave them a trial run. That went by fine. So, it was time for the real game. I was already yelling when I was giving instructions. Going back and forth each team,, making sure they knew what to do. But now, I yelled even more for the countdown. 3,2,1,GO!!!! As the game progresses, I check back and forth each team and their advisors(our close up members) As each one finishes, the advisors gave them their scavenger hunt clues. All I had to do now was wait. Waiting and waiting. One team, comprised of mostly Southern,, didnt have much motivation. I guess it's okay. The first one to come back was Sanchez and we checked their list. Good!! The others started coming too. And just like that, the game was finished. Whew!!! So we head back to the canopy away from the sun. As I walk by, I yell out, "Did everyone have fun?" Like a cheering team, they screamed out "YA!!!!". I was glad of hearing that. I walk to where the water was, and there werent much water at all. Everyone was scouring for it. NO!!! We need water. We still had a game to do and that was needed,, water! We'd seriouslly die. So we waited, and waited, with our throats a bit dry. And it was finally time for our last game. The pres for Southern called out the other pres's. It seems that we are needed. So I head to there as the acting president of JFK close-up. I guessed had a special purpose. As we go to the field, I waited for instructions and waited for this game. The game that would end it all. The Coconut relay. All they had to do was have the coconut between their feet as they go around the point and go bak to the grup to hand over the coconut. Simple enough?? Well,, you can't use hands. Since I was the acting president, my duty was to act as the point they have to go around. I didn't have work to do, but I missed out on fun. When the games started, everyone had their strategy. Others were hopping, and jumping while others formed their legs like a triangle and jump with one foot to move about. A few used the traditional walk like a penguin while coconut was on knees strategy. What's surprising is that some of them were really good. Some didn't drop their coconut at all. I just wonder if they do this at home. Ahhhh,, close-up picnic.

NHS induction was sooo much fun!!! There were speeches and candles and all those formal stuffs. But, nearing the end, everyone was taking pictures! Pictures, pictures, pictures. I tried to go in as much as there was. I still had the energy for pictures bcuz of close-up. Also, before we left, Maria told us a lot of stufs. We listened to her like she was our mentor. Plus more pictures. As I drive home, I lost my voice and made a video out of it. Embarassing, but I want to look at it. When I got home,, I wanted to write about my day. It took me like 4 weeks to write about this, and now Im worried. Can I keep up with this?? Idk,,,,,, I hope so

HIIII!!! this is jena writing..."bryce, we got to go!! i'm gonna be late!!!"

lol it's me, the hotest guy in the universe, typing in YOUR blog, don't you feel honored? lol, -LORENZ

The Hunt

So,where do I start?? Some time at school, Nicko and others decided that Nicko should go shopping. Well, it was nearing our induction. One day, actually. Close call?? maybe haha, maybe that is why we are in close up club. Schoolwise, everything happened as it should, tests, quizzes and what not. Jackie asked to drop her to SB and that was the only addition to my plans that day. After school, I fall asleep in the bus as usual. Waking up by jackie's question, we fnally head out the bus. We walked all the way to my house with no problems. Like everyone, she was suprised to see my house in a hill somewhat. The walk up to my house was steep enough for her to complain, even if it was rather short.

Now, my house was not very guest friendly, so I instictively told her to stay outside first. After seeing that my brothers were not there, I Okay'd her coming in. She stayed outside. I guess she didn't hear me. Well, after a while, she needed to use the restroom. I teased her about the pilippino way. hahaha. After a while, I Okay'd it too. Well, she went outside agen after using the restroom so I told her she could come in and sit on the couch or something. Now, my house was mess. Papers in places, and I remember a receipt on the ground. This is not the cleanest time for the house, I can say that much. After a quick change, I head out to SB. I say that, but I almost took a turn for NCS. It was a good thing Jackie told me otherwise. Getting there, she gave me 2 dollars, Yay!! haha, =j. So, I head to my next destination. I think I remember needing to get Jacob so I get down to the place. But, dude, I missed the turn, so I had to U-turn and wait for the traffic and made sure not to miss it. When I got there, there was noone there. AGHHH, Are you serious?? There were clothes hanging outside, but the door was locked. I gave up a moment later. I still had to pick up Nicko. When I got to Kristine's house to pick up Nicko, there was no one at the door. I ringed the bell once and still no one there. When I checked the door, it was unlocked, so I decided to help myself in. Thinking that they were pretending, I sat on the couch and waited for I was still an unknown guest. When I decided it was long enough, I followed the voices. I knocked on the door and found them. Nicko was holding up the book and upon seeing me, they were laughing. They were expecting someone else. Hahaha, But yes, it wasnt her/him. Nicko and I start to head out. Then, we hear the door. Knowingly, Kristine says it's her dad. She took the sandwich, and put it to my hand while walking us out. When the door opened, it was her dad. He even held the door for us. uhhhhh,, hmmm.. While walking down, we did not wory much. Now a question???? where was Jacob in all of this???? Well, he was at GPO already.

We headed out to GPO,, coordinating ourselves with text messaging. I parked the truck, went inside, and coincidentally sees Jacob. Damm Jacob. He was holding a Burger King cup that was nearly finished. So, we went to Burger King to refill it. As usual, I couldn't find an opening. I'm not very good at asking for refills. Sooner than I thought, I finally grabbed one guy's attention. I had to line up for the cashier though. So, there and then, the cup was refilled. YAY!!! Now, we had to wait. We headed to the benches near Ross. Jacob played with the unused straw and I talked about weird things, things with the essence of bad luck. Things you would expect to happen to me ^.^ With no objectives yet, we went to Ross for looking. Jacob and I tried to look for the amazing tie we saw, but we coldn't see it. Someone probably already took it. This was almost the time Jena and Jonah arrived. haha, we do not have fahion sense, I had the worst one. Not much a part of it all, jacob and I went to refill the drink. Can you refill twice for Burger King?? I think not. So, I devised a genius plan. Jacob would get the refill by using my jacket. It was brlliant and it was awesome. I was confident it would work. After the success of getting a refill, I showed Jacob the hand sanitizer dispenser. You know what?? it was automatic. hahahaha,, *laughter* and more laughter. Whew,, haha. We headed back to Ross where Nicko and the gals were. Well, I was just tagged there, so I basically had no greater purpose. So, more support for Nicko. For one reason or another, I found myself holding clothes. Not for me but Nicko. This day, Jacob also got clothes cuz I told Jena he had money, haha, he was planning on it anyways i think,, for why would he have that much money? We head out to the fitting room. We left the polos at Nicko's care and found ourselves ligering in the nearby aisle. When Nicko tried to try out the polos, he was confused. He came out telling us you can not open it up. After much more talk and conversation, Jacob and Nicko, were trying out the clothes in weird fashion. Haha, they werent using the fitting room. They tried it out, but a bit later, some worker came to tell us to USE a fitting room. Once he was out of our sights, we laughed it off and continued. It was nearly time for checkout but guess who we saw?? well, it was our friend Lorenz. He was looking for something, too. He was looking for slacks. But, we ended up in the "ties" section. How did that happen?? Anyways, ties and ties and ties,, we were just looking at them , hahaha. Lorenz headed out to exchange a tie. We were just, then, loitering around. Nicko started lining up. Jena and Jonah left considerably soon after. Jacob and I were fooling around.. hahaha Boys,.. Anyways, Lorenz pops up before Nicko reaches the cashier. He was fast!! We exchange his tie and Nicko got his clothes for the induction. All was good except Lorenz still needed slacks. He told us to move on though, didnt want to keep us in GPO.

So, we, the trio, head to the mall. Now, there was some considerable traffic. Good thing we made it out alive and not bored. hahaha. Our first and only stop for the mall was G3.. Funny?? not really. We haven't been to the mall lately since our busyness. So, we play tekken 6 in xbox. It's good they have tekken 6 but the controllers for the xbox are not that good anymore. I cant really do my sidestepping and it also messes up the directional for the attacks. This is a great setback since I am new to tekken 6 and I do not know much juggles and whatsoever. I practically button mashed logically. There are much reurbishing to be done in my tekken 6 playing, but I blame it partly on the controller. Since Nicko was expert, I couldn't beat him too many times. I've only beaten him like 3 or 4 times. By the way, Erika was there in G3 too, watching us pay and sometimes she played herself. About 6 something, we started to think about retiring. Our last game was Me vs Nicko. I used Paul while I forgot who he used. The outcome was pretty awesome though, It was a double K.O. That was very rare, especially when I battle Nicko. Whew, you know wat else?? The double K.O. knocked the 2nd win for both of us so that whole match up was a tie. What a fancy impression to leave with,, haha. As we head out, I remember about Jacob's $25. I told him about it and he said it was with his other wallet. Thinking weirdly,, his other wallet was the grave. We were talking about this while walking and there was a girl in front of us. After mentioning "grave" for the 5th or 7th time, she looked back at us with the strangest look. Hahahahahahahahaha. Were we so totally random?? hahahaha.. Whew,, we head out of there, and we go to our homes. That day was a bit fun. After that, I fall aseep yet again, I'm such a sleepy head ^.^ ^.^ ^.^

Side Notes:
I forgot about the physical, darn
We forgot the drink in Ross hahaha,, look for it in the fat frogs section
Carnation on the ground, Should I freeze you??

The Unwavering Determination

When I joined close-up, I didn't expect much really. Nicko dragged us(me and jacob) along to join. Well, I wasn't really sure if I can handle another jig because I'm such a slacker. But, as i said, I got dragged into it so, I might as well. It's just that my nature doesn't really call for refusing and quitting halfway. I really need to fix that in the future. It might lead me to dangerous stuffs. Anyways, our recent activities were tough. We had to decorate all of the Senior Center for Halloween and we had to finish the portfolio. It does sound easy, but it takes a lot of time to do. We are just students, you know.

We've been going to Mayor's Office for Fridays and sometimes Mondays or Tuesdays. Some of the others, though, go there much more. We always do try to play tennis after the community service. The funny thing is, it always ends up raining at one time or another. The weather is our biggest enemy when we try to have fun. We like to play thoh nevertheless. Anyways, there are lots o' work for the Mayor's Office, but some of them are contributed or made up by us. At the end of those days, we end up tired. We are tired and we still had school to go to school. Imagine our tired faces LOl. A lot of times, I end up with at least one other person riding with me. Oh, how the truck is livelier now, sometimes too lively haha.

One of the things needed to be done in the same time frame of the decorating was the portfolio for Close-up. There is a contest held for the portfolios between the four schools for extra grants. We'd like to win it, of course. Just to do the portfolio was stressing. We had to go all out for four days about it. Stress, stress, stress. Feel sorry for us??? I hope so......

First was a Thursday. We all headed out to Kristine's House. It took us a while to get there. There were a lot of colored papers, cut papers, and materials all over the ground. I wasn't so sure of what I was to do either. When I decided to do the "fundraising" letters, I had some purpose now. I did the sketching and the cutting of the letters. I was not so surprised it took me that long to do them because I do suck at art badly. It really did look weird. When her brother came, we were kicked out of the house, basically. So, we decided to go to Lorenz's house. We were supposed to get there first, so we decided to play a bit of tennis, but Lorenz came and showed us the way. After they cleaned up their room a bit, the papers were scattered yet again. We got pictures and ideas and cutting and aircon(whew!). Once again, I was uncoordinated. I didn't know what to do. I'm not very good at projects either. After 5 or 6, people started to head out. I, once again, became their ride. Most of them got dropped to GPO but some were to houses. It was really tiring. After the never-ending drive, I finally was able to be comfortable at Lorenz's house. I was there, but I couldn't think of any ideas. I tried to help but i was unable to. Haha, sukz for me. I came home late that night, only to sleep heavily until school.

We focused our friday and saturday to the mayor's office's event, so we couldn't do much of the portfolio. I haven't done some of those kinds of things for a while. Summer seemed so, very long. I wasn't very productive at Summer, too. Anyways, the only days we were able to do the portfolio was Monday, which was a day off, and Tuesday which was still a school day. Since a lot of us are Juniors and have Ms. Palacios as a teacher, we were really scrambling for her due homework to be done. We had to do our reading of 200+ pages. Since noone really started on reading, we had to speed read basically. I didn't finish reading, by the way. There were way too much pages. I ended up sleeping late that night. When I woke up the next day,, I still had to do some of the portfolio. I had to arrange and print pictures. It was hard to do in the morning. *yawn*. In school, I faced even more bad luck, but I don't want to remember about them, so, forget it. After school, we needed to finish the portfolio asap! It took us a lot of time! I left like 10 something. Not something you would want to do when you have school. The next day,, Lorenz forgets to bring it to school LMAO. So, after school, we rendezvoused at his house, to head to, you know it, GPSS!!! hahaa,, how far. *whew* While driving, there was this crazy guy who who zoomed past the road when it was my right of way!! It was soooo annoying!! ARGGH, are you serious!!!???!!! Why the hell was he waiting there??!?! Ahhhhh****.. Three honks!!! Thats what you get!!! When we got to Gpss,, we were lost thoh, but we found it. We turned it in and whew.

After getting back home, I used the computer for a while. It was my distraction from heading into the 5 o'clok traffic. While there, Karmela and Lorenz talked about it being Karmela's birthday, so we decided to do something. We headed to Wendy's to eat out. I'd say that, but we headed for Cold Stone though. There, we couldn't decide on what to get even after free samples. YAY!!!!! Free Samples. Hahaha,, hehe. In the end, Lorenz decided for us. He chose one of those original creations. Maybe they knew there were indecisive people like us. XD haha,, Hooray for great minds. Whew,,, ok.. So, we start going down to Wendy's. We just walked because we didn't reckon it to be far. We walked to there but the ice cream started melting. Karmela and me tried to save it, but it was too late. We got in, and I took care of the melting ice cream. Karmela and Lorenz ordered. hmmmm~melting ice cream. Well, we picked a seat after and started eating. Now, we were not big eaters. I ate before i left home, 3 hotdogs or something. What i did was, I gobbled up the french fries and saved the burger. Whew. After, I stayed at their house a bit more. I know, I know, I still have homework, yes? heh, HAVE YOU EVER TRIED DRIVING IN A FULL STOMACH??? haha,, well nothing special,, it wasn't that late. While there, I used the computer. I was on facebook and stuffs but I couldn't find something to do. I should've blogged hahaha. I asked people if they wanted the leftover burger from Wendy's. They are so weird!!! hahahaha. Hear the story from them. hehe. While I was using the computer, Lorenz was doing math homework. Karmela was doing various stuffs in and out of the room. Well, we had fun. We talked about some various things. Oh, I almost forgot the physical form they gave me Lol.

damm Christmas lights were hard to fix!!
sorry kristine for gettin u in trouble
3:24 Am,, hmmmm

Fortune be Told...

A lot of things happened this week. I'll take it step by step. Haven't really had the time to blog over everything so, expect it to be long. Well, it might not be long, just brace yourself.

It all started this Thursday. We had a PTC that day so there was no school. How glorious a day that was. It felt like it had been a while since we had a day-off. Work after work, it was a time for rest. Or is it. We discussed how we were going to do the Portfolio that day. The plan wasn't detailed but there is a plan. HahaHaha. My ma and I went to PTC that morning, reallly early. I was awake at like 5 or something playing my facebook apps. ^.^ ,, We left at about 8 something =j. It's very early!! We got to my Pre-Cal teacher first. It took us a while to get inside, because of one student!,, I see,, people do complain a lot with math. I don't think Ms. Dela Cruz has any problems with her teaching, if anything, she's too lenient. Got my grades and so forth. After that, we headed to (in order), English 11 honors, American Government Honors, Japanese 1, Choir, and last one was Chemistry Honors. I made many jokes while speaking with the teachers, making my ma and the teachers laugh, it was kinda fun ^,^ Right after, we headed out to eat at Caesar's. Then, I dropped her to work. That was like 11 o'clock. I headed to the Tuazon household after. Not seeing anyone there but the sisters, I kind of lazed off in their house while LB was watching Baby and I..(that blind girl is funny). After much discussing and unanswered phone calls, Kristine and I decided to go to Tamuning Mayor's Office to check out if anyone is actually there.

Once we got there, Cheery was walking down from GPO, talk about timing. We decided to stay in the Mayor's Office a little while to see if anyone else comes up. Well, inside that quiet place, we talked and talked and tried to help out in making decorations. I even showed my interpretation of making a Subway wrap or a burrito. Too bad, we won't use the prop though. Feeling like it was forever, we headed back to where we came from, surprised to see no one else is there yet. One thing leads to another and we lost track of time. It was actually me who lost track of time. While lying down on the floor relaxing style, I remembered I had an appointment. I was already late. Driving to there, it was stressing. I had adrenaline running through my veins going in there. I even parked in a very, very, very tight spot. I had to back up like 5 times to get as close as possible to being straight,, they need to fix their parking. Changed my braces, colored it black and headed back to the Tuazon household. When i got there,, a pizza man came to deliver. Haha,, i caught up with him on the stairs. Jokingly, I said I was with the pizza man,, hahaha *laughter*, the pizza man even had a weird look at me because of that. Hahaha, too bad he had to hold the pizza. I step in the house and I see a lot of people. No joke this time. It was only me, Cheery, Kristine, and LB, but now there were more. A lot can happen in 30 or so minutes. Talking about the portfolio isn't so fun to write about and I'm worried for you readers out there. So, I'll summarize it. Cutting out letters, playing songs, singing along, pizza, and sketching. I also had to go to Mayor's Office, come back, go to Nicko's house, go to GPO, then come back. Whew, tiring. Since kristine's brother wasn't so fond of us doing messy work, we headed to lorenz's house. ALL OF US. It was fun, and it was really bonding time, while working at the same time. Also, I was the official driver, driving to and fro so much. (someone needs to get a license). The day ended and we had to get ready for tomorrow.

Today's obstacle?? it was evident it was school. Who suggested PTC on a freaking Thursday?? AGHHHH,,...!!!!!!!..,,, / / / / / / Well,, after school, we went to comm. service yet again. Picked up Aida and Nicko on the way. We made it to Mayor's Office despite the slippery road. What comes next?? We were going to decorate. YAY!!! We actually had the chance to set up some equipment at the Senior Citizen Center. Oh, how we had fun. I was wearing house clothes though. I copied Nicko and put on a jacket. Me and Jon went to get a ladder, so we could decorate up, up, and WAY up. I didn't get to go myself, though. The girls wanted to try it out. Well, I climbed trees before, so its okay, they have their fun too. We were planning and everything. Intellectual arguments about the floor plan. Ideas were sprouting up. In the midst of it all, we had a time limit. It seemed that they lock up the doors at 5. Nearing our forced evacuation, I had to look for my key. Where was that thing?? Looked, Looked, and even freaked out!!! Turned out that Jon had it. He liked my key huh? We played tennis right after. We took off to the haunted house after Nicko left. The haunted house, how bad could it be.

Here comes, the haunted house. There we were, in front of the JFK annex. Hearing ghoulish noise and blinded by lights. It is apparent how much work these guys did. While waiting for others, we were just talking our hearts out. Scaring each other, and what not. When we headed to the line, however, it was freaking hot!!! At that time, we all got a bit quieter than wen we were in the field. The line, too, was irritating because it was moving quite slowly.

The inside of the haunted house was real funny. I don't really get scared knowing it is hosted by people. It might be my nature or my obliviousness. Also, they put wanted me in the back. To break their fall,, backup person to get scared to,, or whatever the reason. It was good to me. The people tried hard to scare the last person, too. Hahaha. Ganbare^.^ . One person touched the top of my ankle, haha, nice try! I also like the vantage view, able to see the people up front and not distracted by the main characters, I can see the passive characters. Hehe. Overall, the haunted house was pretty well thought of. Some of those things were made up and a lot are referenced from movies(these guys did their research). Well, we came out laughing, good job!! After chatting a bit more, we headed to Kmart, oh how nostalgic. I haven't really gone to Kmart except the the day before the haunted house. I remember doing my homework here when I came from Track practice. It was even math homework. Hahaha.

After everyone had gone, It was me, jon, geena, alysa, cheery, bella, and dina. How tiring that day was, you know. After proposing that I should drop them, not long after, we started to head out. It was already very late at that. Hope they won't get in trouble. I dropped Geena at JFK, and I dropped Jon, Cheery, and Alysa to their houses. Of course, there were conversations inside, since my truck has no radio, remember?? When I got home, I was very tired. Couldn't even do many things anymore. No, not even much of the computer. Wow!!

The next morning, I was supposed to head to the Senior Citizen Center, but it was already 8:30 when I woke up. Imagine my surprise. I tried to get ready fast, but my body was just not into it. Well, I got myself ready, got my bag and such like extra clothes,, you can never what happens. I also brought the lights and ironed my polo. I decided to look presentable since this is an event kind of. I got to the the Mayor's Office at about sixth to 10. When I got there, it looked so much more designed. I also still have a sleepy habit. Wow, even though I overslept a bit. I was off to a foggy start. Anyways, I ate a lumpia, and that's when I started getting energy back. Good thing it wasn't a vegetable lumpia, looks could have been deceiving. Since we were a bit bored, we tried to call the Asians (AKA Philip and Jonah) The Asians were out of reach. It's probably their sleeping day or something. Well, after that, Vice Mayor came and had KFC for us. Wow,, I haven't had KFC since forever. I liked the skin, the crunchiness is one thing to adore. We talked and talked yet again. Half the time I didn't know what was being talked about and I was trying to connect the dots. Heh, No, I wasn't thinking too much, everyone was at the kitchen soo,, it's best be involved. Throughout the day, we decorated, decorated, and brainstormed. We even put down Hep-Hep-Hooray as an event. We practiced a little, I lost,, arrggh, hahaha. Somewhere at 4, the gals and lorenz headed to his house. This was the time me and jon were everywhere on the floor. Sorry, I sucked so i dont have much to show ^.^,, this was also the time we were playing with the speakers which had a CD player. Well, we got bored, so we headed to lorenz's to get the rackets. When we got back at the Center, we see people coming in. "Maybe, it was really at 5", and so we decided not to play. We decided, however, to go by his house to get party tools. Hehe, the dogs were all over me haha. When it came down to the event, everyone from close-up were chatting and mingling and laughing. Lorenz was the emcee and he also manned the Fortune Telling Booth,, ooooooo mysterious, but i know the trick!!! haha!!! The kids were fun to look at though haha,, and the games were somewhat fun., But what happened to the food?? there were not much to eat at one time,, the plates were small plus I was getting snapped at by photos here and there lol. lol. o= , so then, we needed to go to kristine's haunted house. We waited for a bit of time. There was one guy who dressed up as a vampirish guy and another at the back of him with a big pin stuck through his nose. Hahaha. We(me and nicko) were not used to them or not know them soo we just responsively said Hi, I was even wearing church boy outfit haha.,, When we headed inside, it was kind of thrilling. I thought it was just a haunted house like in JFk so i thought to myself "Why would it take one hour?". Maybe, they calculated everything and anything that was going to happen. Naive!!! It was actually a play. Hahahaha,, the entrance was quite deceiving. What false advertisements. We sat down, with all of us from comm service but LB and Shiina got separated. Sorry, it was my fault, it was that guy who pulled me to the left thats y. Well, the play was rather amusing. Some characters are hard to tell apart, kind of. And, it was one story to the next, so you have to connect the dots. Not spoiling what was the ending, we head out. We were back to comm. service, at this point, Jonah and Jena rode with their parents. Also, I had to drop Nicko home because we couldn't pull him with us, hahaha. In the end, it was Shiina, me, LB, and Kristine. We, then, started to talk about cultures and what not and their languages. Hahaha. I was the most un-expert of all. Hahaha. After seeing that the people at the community service was not there, we later headed out to eat. Who's idea was it to eat at Wendy's?? It was mine!! I had 10 bucks in my pocket and I wasn't afraid to use it. Hahaha. We were not poor, haha,, just no money in the moment haha. The cashier person laughed at us a couple times and they also tried to pronounce my name. Guess wat?? they pronounced it "Burisu" instead of "Buraisu",, sorry i put it in Jap homophones. We also got candy. What generous people!!!! Well, I dropped them off, and that was how my halloween ended. Well, not quite, I used the computer for some time but fell asleep rather fast. I also didn't get in trouble.

~Thx for reading ^,^

Deprived of Self-Worth

A great power comes great responsibility, an actor in a movie had said(to be specific, Kung Fu HUstle). I do not have such things. I'm somewhat good at making grades, but I'm not very excellent. In regards to sports, I can play the average joe or might be lower. I catch the concept but had not really succeeded in excelling in it. You can say I hadn't pursued it with the outmost interest?? I do not know myself. I do joke about being greater, smarter, darker, superior, better, and sexier, but I, myself, have no real anything to be able to prove any of that(except "darker" since my skin is so evident). Ahhhh, Sorry guys, the topic is my conceitedness.

One thing people might say is that I'm smart. Quite frankly, I do not really like hearing that from everyone. I'm only good in math. No doubt I'm somewhat more dedicated and stronger in the math area. I just don't know. Maybe, it's that I get called smart and get beaten at something with a more sophisticated level. It's somewhat depressing. I'm not really the most serious guy around, but there is only a limit to my potential. I know this and accepted this. This is one of the facts I had contemplated on and decided on its meaning. That's one of my achievements,, decoding what is simple. Always, in my life, though, I had failed on things miserably.

When you see me, you won't really think I would speak as I am with this blog. NO, people think of me as the funny or if not the talkative one. Some people even think I'm optimistic, maybe this will change their minds. Throughout my middle and high school years, you can say I hear a second voice. A voice unique to myself, my conscience. What is this conscience good at?? PITY!! I repeat, Pity!!! The things I do, the things i did, and the things I don't like to do, I believe my conscience have affected them. Well, there are things other people think about. Mine might be a bit unorthodox, don't you think??

You probably already know I don't read books that much. Actually, I don't read books that I would finish, i mean, even if i had started on it, I don't have the willpower to finish it. I don't really like to read, you know?? Who do I blame though?? Who head shall this finger point to?? An answer would be the makers of corrective reading. After corrective reading, I slowed down on reading. I was fast, before, taking breaths only on critical moments. But, now, I do feel slow, slow and slower. How would a marksman feel after missing an easy target all too often when he was well renowned in his prime years?? How would a boxer feel after missing a punch which he knew he could have connected?? How would a body builder or even a runner feel after being only able to finish half of his daily routine?? Doubt, Self pity, Lost?? Yes, that's how i feel. I don't read because of that feeling, the feeling of regret and pity. I probably pity myself more than anyone,, is it just because of my nature?? The only reasons why I read is because I have to, really. Things that I am forced into or something like that. I never really, leisurely read with feelings of enthusiasm and love. The same goes for other things I'm not good at. People might say, "You can do it if you try" right after reading the previous sentence. I don't really believe it but I will nod my head. I don't want to let my friends down. I don't want a fight to erupt. I'm not a fighter. But, confusion strikes when two of my friends fight. I don't want to be messed up. I try to stay neutral and not bring about more clamor to the flames. Isn't that just being a coward?? Had someone taken my voice against these calamities?? Yes, I do feel like a coward. A good-for-nothing coward. The thought of no blood spilled, is that wishful thinking?? Wishing it wouldn't help it come true. I truly am good-for-nothing. I can't even do anything for anyone. I've told of how i want to protect friends. I'm not really sure if my story was the whole reason. It may be or it may not be, forgetting the friends that I was so close to. Yes,, It boils down to that right?? I believe that it is not the whole story. I probably already had a sense of friendship since ever since. It is part of my nature. The events probably multiplied its power within me. I could say that, but what have i done to protect others??

Is scaring away from a fight really protecting my friends?? You could say no. I believe that, too. But, would it not worsen?? My neutral stance to keep my friends. Isn't that a greater purpose?? Speaking of which, what can i do for my friends to protect them?? I am soooo useless. I do not know martial arts. I do not fancy myself as persuading. I have been a let-down, and it sucks to feel that. I haven't ever been able to protect anybody. My life is useless if I had not accomplished my goal. Isn't that how they justify the game. Whoever reaches the goal first wins?? At this rate, I wouldn't be able to protect anyone at all. Then, this life would surely be worthless. What you want to do can be achieved??? I want to be able to protect them,, have the power to do so. It's not just a fleeting dream, right? Having the ability to protect someone. I do envy those in anime. Having a belief and achieving it too.

What did I do to get better on this game of life I have yet to go all-in with?? It might not count, but I really do take on new things. Is this a solution?? Probably not. There are many other ways to get better. I know, I know. Joining many things, wouldn't that increase your number of friends. And it would escalate on my need to get stronger. I have been so passive this life that I don't really know what other things I can do though. Being in many things, would that hinder my development?? I guess it is a considerably good solution. Maybe, if it's like this, no one will ever see this side of me. The side of being unwanted. Through my eyes, being down. I have yet to really show it, this side of me. It is because of my uselessness. Always able to wear a smile, my forgetfulness might have been useful. Isn't that useless, forgetting it all like a coward. I wonder if protecting someone will remedy my whole story. Something i had something to do with. But, that day has yet to come. This old and not yet?? Wouldn't u feel useless, too??

I know this has been long. But, bear with me. I have been asking a lot of questions. Do you feel as i do? I hope not. I hope you don't have to go through something like this. I have exerted much thinking into these topics. Relaxed as I am, I do still about these complex thoughts. I hope I get better.

I am going to put up another post so to try to cover up this one. Heh. i dont think anyone is up this late. Oh well, if you see this and you know me. Please, Please, Please treat as you would any other day. My inability to hide this and not cause others to worry might manifest another pity. Thx for reading.

Sorry,, I am licensed

Malfunctioning radio

A lot of stuffs happened this week. I can say there are soooo much stuffs to write about. I can talk about comm. service and the fun that came with. I can talk about "Haunted"(haha) houses or my wageless journey. I can talk about how tiring this whole journey had been. There's more time for those later. I'd like to talk about my truck for now, though.

My truck is a regular old toyota truck. It's purpose is to be our moving truck and be there for emergencies but since no one in our household really uses it, I use it for my needs. Though I really don't remember my parents telling me to use it on whatever, I use it a lot especially since there has been community services( it's like I "own" it). It has been very useful to a great extent. I get lots done with it. Thx truck.. ^.^

For those people that have been "in" my truck, you probably already know the bad luck that comes with it. Adding to my forgetfulness and my inability to plan correctly,, stop lights hate my truck. For example, when i was heading home last night i hit a red,red,yellow,green,green,green, red, red, green,green, red, yellow, and then red. The ratio of red and yellow lights are 8:5. And its not like I make a lot of turns!!! Explain it to me.... GAHHH!,!,! Maybe it's all a conspiracy just for me ^.^ Seriously speaking though, I do not like it. I want to drive leisurely. I want to drive fun. I want it as smooth as sailing. Hope this "bad" luck runs out soon.

Now, to the pleasures of my truck. Since it is a truck,, you can really fit some people in that thing. That's why I'm probably the ride around here. Well, it's probably for the better. No one is left behind. But, that also means i do a lot of transporting. I am the only one licensed so far. But it's good, ther have been no accidents so far. Yay!!!,, Thoh i sometimes make small mistakes such as the runnin over the curb in the senior's office. Hahahaha,, haha

Well, it's all so intertwined, the bad and good of this truck. What can i say though, i like using this truck. What can i say?? I might be a redneck ^.^, haha. This concludes my blog for today
