The second of October...whooo!  I wonder........homecoming is some time this month and I'm actually going to a school social event.  Isnt that scary?  I know....it's weird.  Anyway, I'll be going to the dance with a group of friends...or at least I last time I checked I was going with a group of friends.  Yeah....  The dress I bought is red with black netting over it and of course it's way too long so someone needs to hem it otherwise I'll be tripping over myself all night.  Isnt that a funny situation to envision?  Riiiight.

  I have a concert for orchestra in a week, or maybe it's this week.  Not really that excited because I don't like playing one of the pieces.  Blegh.  And I get to wear my Oh-So-Favorite-Penguin-Costume.  Oh joy!  Not.

  Went night driving last night...and some guy scares me cuz he was driving past me on the shoulder lane (while racing another car of course)...I should have know that the world revolved around him.  (Sure...ID10T! )  I think I better go now.

  MAHAL KITA ATE!!!!

  Wow, I just started doing Tai Chi again...and to be quite honest, it felt good.  Except for the whole burning and sweating outside the courtyard, it was interesting.  Whooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  I have only gotten 3 hours of sleep this morning.  OooooooooOoooOoOoOoo.  Yeah anyway.

  Im going to get violin lessons too, starting next Thursday.  So, right after Tai Chi I have ti find a way to get to my firned's house and then go straight to the lesson.  Ay naman.

ATE I MISS YOU SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO MUCH!!!!!!!!!!!

MARTIN I MISS YOU TOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!  HOPE YOU FEEL BETTER !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Heh, so much for Tai Chi...

  Hoy...

  Life isn't the greatest as it should be but ya know....if I had a something then all the people could suck it for everything they did to make me feel like crap...

  It's just...some point of views will always be obscured and I'll never get the real picture anymore...or will I?  Sometimes people should just talk it out, not stab them in the back...and yet...the saying goes "Ignorance is bliss..."

  Do I want to be left in the dark or do I want to know what's going on around me?  "What you do in the dark shall come out in the light..."  Things can be too good to be true.  I don't mean to sound melodramatic (and I think I do) but now I'm thinking, "What in the world was I saying?"  I have a feeling I'm making something 10 times bigger of a deal than it should be.  Ok, I'll stop that now.

  No, I haven't played SIMS yet...

  I'm going to a Rasputina concert in DC.  I feel lucky, for 2 reasons:

  Reason # 1:  My mind will be preoccupied...                                                         

  Reason # 2: I can sleep in for the last time I saw them it was a school night (had to admit that was fun seeing my friend look like she was a zombie the next day though...hehehe)

  Now I don't feel lucky for one reason only: I go back home smelling like someone's ashtray...eh, pros and cons working their way again...

  Tai Chi started today...ooooo.  And guess what?  I bailed!  Yeah, I felt so rebellious today.  Yeesh, did we learn anything new?  I hear that everyone from last year was back again this year.  Huh, maybe I'll make new friends...(sure, I'll just keep thinking that).  I owe myself one thing when it comes to that club: actually finishing the form...it's free, but the probloem is staying after for it and getting a ride home.  No ride home equals me not going.  The activity bus sucks for me to get home.  Yeah, forget that method of transportation...

  I want to go out and meet my cousin...but he's at the mall (a different mall) and there is no way I can get out tonight...  he told me he's going to get a motorcycle so of course I had to ask if he can take me.  As soon as he has one and can drive it, then I'm all set.  But I forgot to mention about my fear of falling off......hehe but I do rust him.  He's helped me out so much ever since I saw him last year.  I owe him...he's like a big brother and I love him for it.

  Yes, I'll leave this entry on a nice sentimental note...I hope you enjoyed another glimpse into this life...

  Happy Birthday to ME!!!  Hehehehehe....

  So far, I woke up at 2:30ish this morning to my cell vibrating...Ate called and and wished me "Happy Birthday Ading!"  After that, I noticed I missed calls from Tim and Rocky.  Sorry, I needed sleep, but thanks for the messages!!!! 

  I also went to Church today.  Kinda weird, but at least there was a moderate number of people there so it was pretty good except my Ma wanted to sit in the very front...I got over it.  Mass goes pretty fast when you go at 9 in the morning on a holiday.  Ah well.  My Ninang gave me roses today.  Haha I got excited once again.

  Oh, and I recently found this on a Flip's myspace.  I thought it was cool so here it is.
