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!!!"
