Lovin' FEB.eristic!

Roses are red, violets are blue, candies are sweet...and so are YOU! :)) February was done...but its fresh and sweetest ambiance was still left here in my heart and my mind. Lots of moments, experiences filled with love and sweet thoughts left my mind crazy and erotic. Hahahaha.
Some really do believe that Feb. is a month intended for Lovers and couples only, but for singles like me, they said that it's a month of devastation for us. But who really thinks that way? No, it's not! We could treat this month as a month of happiness and satisfaction though we don't have partners or lovers to share our love with. Who says that we couldn't share our love with our Family, friends and of course, GOD! We could really enjoy this month sharing our love with them, spending our time with them. Well, I really enjoyed this month a lot, not just only because it's a month for love but because of those never-forgotten memories it had left me and my entire life. :D
After our 4th MPT exam, we were really in our practice, busy for lot of waiting activities we were involved. I am one of the crew in he SCAAC and for our SCI-MATH exhibit. I really enjoyed the day before the opening of the 42nd Foundation Anniversary of our school held on Feb.20,2011. I helped in making some cute designs for our SCI-MATH exhibit and as well as in cutting for the designs in our SCAAC exhibit. The most exciting and enjoying part of those experiences was the moment We ate together with Ma'am Malong and Ma'am Mila. They really treated us like their real children for they treated us lunch. Hahahaha. Who could really forget the punch lines of Ma'am Malong: "Pamela, uput mo tan... Niya ney baaw ay... Mansira ka sika ta ni patpayatot ka,,, agka amo mampipising ay? Niya mampising ka". Then Pamela replied: "Ma'am...di ko na po 'to mauubos! di ako kumakain ng ampalaya! huhu"
Hahahaha. We really enjoyed those moments with them. :)) Those moments were really treasured ones. After helping and accomplishing those assigned tasks to us. We went home and get ready for the next day which will be the opening of our Foundation.
SCA celebrated a thanksgiving mass that next day, we took that moment also to show our parents our love and gratitude to them by giving them a rose. :)) On that day also, once in my life, I've experienced to go to a motorcade and to walk a distance leading the path of the parade. All of us, CAT officers were obliged to lead the motorcade by walking in our platoon formation. We really enjoyed that much though we were really tired and exposed to sun's heat and complaining for we would be so tanned for the JS. Hahaha After that long time of walking, at last we arrived at our school and watched the Drum and Lyre exhibition performed by the SCC. Atlast! we went to our designated jobs as a crew to the different exhibits. I really really, enjoyed a lot entertaining guests esp. some parents. :D
"Just think of Happy thoughts then you will fly!" said Daniel as Peter Pan in our play. I am the one narrating the play and with some of the characters being played by my classmates, we let all the audience in a while to be in the land and world of fantasy and magic where they don't have to grow up and think of growing up. We performed our play thrice. And though we were all tired, it's all worth it because of the laughs,the happiness and the amazed faces of the audiences we saw the time we were performing. Those reactions were enough to say that they really enjoyed it , had a great time watching it and of course that their payment was all worth it. And not just that. After our play, every time they met us, they complemented us that we were really great in performing it. Even on Facebook, they chat with us about that play, that they really enjoyed it.♥ :D
"Riyah, 16!"---Hahaha... I did think of that, someday I'll be on an stage too being one of the candidates for a pageant! Hahahaha As they have said, there's no limit in dreaming! As the candidates for the Search for Mr. and Ms. SCA 2011 is going on, with a banner stating "Go Angelo "GELO"!", my phone rang, it's my mother telling that my gown for JS should be picked up hat afternoon. So I rushed to the gate and went inside our car to go to the dress shop. But I promised to my classmates that I'll return as soon as I get there in our school. I've fitted the gown and went back to our school for the pageant, it's almost around 6:30 P.M. but there were still a lot of students watching. So I chatted with my classmates left their to cheer Angelo, if what;s going on. I'm happy to hear that Angelo got some awards already. So as time passed by, we didn't notice that it's already passed nine. When the question and answer came, we all crossed our fingers for Angelo for we knew that he could answer it. "If you were given a chance to talk to God at this very moment, what would you tell him?"--- this was the question for all of them. The winning answer for the audience and the judges was the answer of Chester Cacal, "I would tell God that in the darkness, he gave me light coming from a star,,, realizing that the star was me!" What an answer!?! It's really had a deep meaning that made him to the top and crowned as the Mr.SCA 2011. Angelo placed as the 2nd runner up, but it's okay for we know that he deserved it and that he really did his best but maybe it isn't his time to be on the top. We were really happy for him. :D

"okay 1...2...3... CLICK!(flashed)"--- that's the official photographer for our JS the INFINITY. Hahaha I laughed out loud the time they're taking me a pic for the photographer said " sige...landian mo pa! 'yan!"... Hahaha
I felt like a real model of a mag. Hahaha We enjoyed our JS taking pics and of course cherishing the moments we spent in dancing. I am Proud that my first dance is one of my close friends in SENIORS... DEAN CRUZ! :D I was so shocked when he asked me to dance with him, with matching rose..hahaha He asked me " Riyah,,, baka nagsisisis ka na ako first dance mo?", I replioed "Grabe ka met. hindi ah, ta buti nga close ko at barkada ko first dance ko!" Hahahaha.. He confessed to me that he's quite shy to the girl he likes (one of my classmate) ^_^.

We enjoyed dancing in our reggae though we didn't practice that much and we are so happy that we didn't expect to won as the 3rd place. Hahaha
"And ladies and gentlemen.. we now go to the Mr. & MS. Best Attire and dress for the Seniors. Coming from IV-ST.FRANCIS!.. For Mr.Best attire, we have.........(music)... Mr. PAUL JOHN CANDOR! We all cheered and teased Paul john for he was so shocked and so we are! I am so fun in teasing him that I didn't heard that they also announced that I'm the Ms.Best Dress in Senors. Filled with mixed emotions, I together with Paul went up the stage to get our award. It's so ackward to think that we had the chance to win that title! Hahaha... I could never forget such moments in my life. :D

February made my High school life so exciting and
UNIQUE! :D Now, I could really say that LOVE... LOVE... LOVE... I LOVE FEBeristic! :D
Keep on rockin FEB!

(Congrats also Sir for being the over-all chairman of the 42nd foundation of our school.. You reallydid a great job! Job well done SiR!... Thousand THUMBS UP for you! LIKE. :) )

Strong winds so cold blew... The cold breeze seemed to drown everyone's lungs. No doubt... It's the month of January. January was a very special month for me, there were a lot of fun and exciting activities that had happened. Let those moments be shared with you through this JANUARISTIC BLOG. :D
"Come with me in a place where you never had to grow up... Never is an awfully long time", those are some never-forgotten lines in our play. We spent our 2 Saturdays just to master everything and to have a major practice. It was so much fun having those moments... particularly the "KILIG Moments". :)) Peter Pan is a fairytale story with a 14 year old boy named Peter Pan who has no worries about growing up...'cause he never have to. Wendy, character of my best friend Vina, is a strong character also, we had a great choice when we selected her. She's so good. She imitated the character of Wendy, they were like sisters in real life when it comes to acting and of course their character. Making some props and finding a lot of songs too was so fascinating but enjoying. :) We all had a team work for that. A lot!

Getting so busy with some other business also came too, like our practicum in T.L.E.
Filipino Style was the theme of our class.

And we imitate a native fiesta ocassion just like shown in the image above.. ;)) The picture shows our setting for the ocassion. But as Ma'am Irene said "Before putting an occasion, it really needs a lot of PLANNING and of course PREPARATION. And the CALL for TEAMWORK is really needed". Few days before the said occasion, our class held a lot of meetings. We really need to talk about it for we want it to be so special and fun. So we had the plan of making a PROMISE LETTER, stating that we will bring the following : "kamatis-tagalog, PHIl. Fruits, Flowers, and banana leaves/cococnut leaves and Anahaw leaves". We arrived at that plan to make sure that everyone will bring those mentioned needed stuffs. And the day for the practicum came, we all got busy with designated business for the practicm. I together with Joyme and vina were assigned to go to the market and buy some "TAHONG" and of course we'll cook it because it's one of the dishes. We went to the market at around 6:00 in the morning and arrived at the school before 7:00. When we arrived, everyone's busy with their jobs as well, we didn't cook the tahong that time, 'cause it's too early so we helped to others. We finished the native bamboo container for the "PUTO CALASIAO".

It's so nice that everyone will surely be attracted to get some. :)) At around 9;30, we started to clean the Tahong to prepare it for cooking. While we were busy cooking the said dish, everyone was so busy too, others were inside the classroom setting up the tables, others outside "mankakayas ya kawayan" in Panggasinan to be used in the "Palo Sebo", and others for the native Fil. games. At last, time for the practicum came! All were in their great costumes. Other class theme's are : Japanese and Italian and as well as Filipino.

Every class prepared a cheer and a dance no. acoordingly to their themes. My other classmates who were really great in dancing, danced the national dance of the Philippines named "CARINOSA". They danced it very well that we all clapped our hands happily. :D
There was so called "MUSIKO" in our occasion. It lokked like a real native fiesta. We all enjoyed those moments.

The judges came as well, with their happy faces, we could really said that they were happy and contented. :)
For me, it was the greatest fiesta I've ever attended before. The mouth watering foods, the set-up and all the games and stuffs, were almost PERFECT! :D We enjoyed it so much 'cause with that also, we only proved that FRANCISCANS 10-11 had a great teamwork and a strong BONG! Inseparable and Unbreakable class ever! :D
After that practicum, we had to have practice for Peter Pan, we attended and of course it's examination week so we had to review also so we don't spend the 2 day-weekend practicing. We had the practice the day of Saturday. :)

Examination week passed, Sunday came, Jan.23,2011, a very memorable day for me, 'cause I've been the commentator in our Barangay (MANZON) for the special mass precided by ARCHBISHOP SOC :)), it was really a great pressure to be invited to b the commentator and meeting Fr. Soc :)). He's so nice, a really nice person!

He even tried to get a pancit for me during the lunch time ..hahaha Days passed and I have to review again, for the ALDCS' Bible quiz. I'm the 4th year contestant. I together with Joshua of 3rd year, Pamela of 2nd year and Danielle of 1st year joined the said contest. We spent our weekend for the review. At the time for the contest, we all had our head bowed and frightened but as we asked for the guidance of God, it's all like just a blink of an eye that we had only one mistake at the easy round. We were upset at the average round 'cause we only got 4 points out of 20. :( But as we went on the Difficult round, we had 12 points. :) Making us 2nd placer. It hurts that it's only a point we missed that we could be on the top but we are very thankful to god that though we didn't make it to the top at least we make it for the 2nd place. :D

I'm so happy with my group mates. I could never forget the laughters we shared during that day, during the contest. :))
The next day to that was our recollection.

Our last recollection at SCA. We participated well, and enjoyed ourselves for we knew that God is with us. WE learned a lot of things. And though it's the last recollection for us, we could never forget how that recollection made the new us now. :)) Recollection with Fr. Mario was so much fun "BEY-BEH" (their expression" :))

Being an optimistic person brings a lot of challenges but it brings a lot more possible means and solutions to resolve those obstacles. I really admit that I'M A JANUARISTIC PERSON--- A person who looks forward to January with greater faith and hope so that other coming months will also be on their ease making moments a more lot of fun and excitement. :D

This -Ember BLAsT!!! :D

Time goes by and by, it can’t be stopped…no one could make it to go back to the past. As they say, “You could only step on the same river once.” It’s been almost six months to us spending our life at school as senior students. It’s been six months for us that we had experienced the life of a senior , a graduating student. And it would all be three months only for us to enjoy the company of each other, to share moments of laughters, hurts and happiness. And what hurts most is that we had only three months lefts to stay in St. Charles Academy that once in our life we called HOME.
I could feel the “Hanging Amihan”, I already saw decors that made every house nice to call that they have the spirit of Christmas, I heard some children singing carols already, I already smelled some native cakes served during this season but most of all I already could saw enlightenment, happiness and joy in every person’s heart that really, surely and probably shows that it’s December, the month of Christmas.  Oh yes! It’s December already. One of my favorite month in the year. And as it goes, we St. Franciscans, were busy too trying to help for the preparation to our school’s Christmas Celebration. Some of our classmates were also busy practicing their skills in preparation for their RSPC and so with their coaches, Ma’am Cez and sir Mauris—our English teacher. “Uhhhh!”, that’s the word that my mouth uttered the time of the announcements had already been announced. Announcements of projects to be passed next year, our preliminary performance for Peter Pan in English, our dance (Boogie) performance and practicum for MAPEH and the preparation for the “Filipino Party” in our T.L.E. next year. Such things made us quite worried for we didn’t know what to do first. But as usual we, Franciscans, a section who will never give up and of course always giving the BEST SHOT in every performance and tasks were assigned to. So, first things first, as usual… M-E-E-T-I-N-G!  Alliana as our class president called for a meeting, what she always does. We have decided to have our practice with Peter Pan the Sunday after we attended mass for we were all choir members. About the T.L.E. practicum, we had chosen Filipino Party and had a meeting about it too. About the MAPEH Practicum, we all decided to meet by group the Saturday before our practice for Peter Pan. So that’s all our plan, and it all did happened.  We’ve met as a class that said Sunday and we all had a meeting regarding with the props to be used. We chose Peter Pan not because it’s the suggestion of Daniel (Peter Pan), but because we found the story very interesting and exciting. At first, we haven’t any idea about the adventures of him , what we all knew only is that he could fly and his enemy was Captain Hook. So some of us, including me volunteered to research about the story and its script. I found two kinds of script, one which is obviously shorter and could be printed and the one which is originally from the movie and was copyrighted, the worst is…it couldn’t be printed. We all worried about that because that’s the script we wanted to use. But for me, the shorter one is not that different when compared to the longer one. I’ve read it already and it’s really a very brief script about one of his adventure but the plot is just the same. The difference is that the script in the movie had some things not really that important that was added to spice up the movie, that was usually a movie does. So when we consulted Sir Mauris about it, they said that we should choose the shorter one because the deal is not on the script but with the performance. So Daniel, Alliana and I talked to each other, we have our meeting on how we should manage things about it specially because both of them is a RSPC participant. I’m so flattered and glad that they had consulted me and asked me to apply again my wide imagination about directing (not knowing it’s really my line since first year…haha I want to be a film director someday). So we had our plans and when the time of practice came, we divided our class, all the people who were not be going to act will manage the other important things to spice up our performance. We divided them into different areas: For the props, we made our schedule for it because Sir Mauris allowed us to meet on vacation and do such props we need. The props were managed by group, the alligator- Group of David, Daniel, Kristine,etc. The ship- JECKZ ‘s group together with Von and etc. and a lot of other things we need. Some of us were assigned with the sound, including me, Joffa, Patrisse. I had already some sound effects that can be used during the play.  And the rest who were the characters had a practice. I added some effects to it trying to imitate the movie. At our first practice we really had a hard time for it for we were not complete and were not that familiar with it. But as time went by, we slowly caught it right. The action, the diction and some accents. We had practice the half of it. And when the day of the preliminary came, we all had a deep breathe and went up to stage. When all thing were ready, I as the narrator started the story. And we are so happy that we did a great job compared with our time for practice. The judges had a smile on their faces and though they had their negative comments, as what judges always do, we were happy for they like it and we will do our very best to make it to the point that all things will be at its best. And as of now , we were preparing the props.:)
After that week, Ma’am Malong, our Religion teacher told me to be the director of the “Christmas Presentation for the coming program. I’s about the Birth of our Savior, Jesus Christ. Again, as a whole class, we had our unity , we divided the class for the preparation for the props to be used and for the practice. And it’s all worth it because when the time of the presentation came, held on the day of the program, as I read the script as the narrator, I could feel its solemnity, its spirit, all students kept their selves quiet as a respect. After the presentation we all excitedly gathered in one place, congratulate everyone for a job well done performance, we all gave our best for God. :) So after that, we all had our seats for we will witness the VTRs for the teacher, and because we were the 4th year star section, the VTR we’ve made for Ma’am Glo came last. After the VTR, we all in a hurry went to Ma’am Glo, hugged them and kissed them. We loved them so mush, very much, a lot. They are a mother to me.:) After that moment, we saw Ma’am Irene, we used also to call them as “MOMMY I” for they were also very close to us because they were our former adviser when we’re in 3rd year. We approached them, hugged them and kissed them, I didn’t notice, tears started to fell down on my cheeks because I really, really missed them and Ma’am I started to cry too, because they feel what we felt too. I’m so close to Ma’am I when we’re in 3rd year but now, it seemed that there were many times we didn’t talk that mush because we were quite shy also to their advisory class. And so did them to us…that’s what Ma’am Irene said. They apologized to us, “4G”, because there we many times that we didn’t talk much or none at all not like when we’re in 3rd year because they were quite shy too to their students “nab aka may masabi daw sila, na alam niyo na”---that’s what they’ve said. But we understand them too. We could also feel it. The day after the next day was our Christmas Party, we all had fun with the games prepared by Manirose. With the food, we were all contented…hahaha I rememberd when AJ and Alvin told me that they had to make their belts loose for they were both really full… HAHAHA :D After we eat, we had the gift giving. We all had fun and it’s obviously showed in everyone’s face. The next part is the “thanksgiving” saying thank you to our classmates and sorry for the hurts. We hugged each one of us and we cried, for it’s our last Christmas Party together as a class, for the 3 years we’ve been mates, friends and best friends. We all had our class picture as Daniel released the baking powder in the plastic making some particles released in the air that made us and our classroom messy. HAHA After that, we cleaned up our classroom and we had again our meeting for Peter Pan, for the division of labor since it’s our Christmas vacation to minimize the work, we made schedules of every group’s time to make their designated tasks. After that we all say good bye to each other.
Dec.21, our group in Science went to school for our project. We made our project so called “LOOPS”. We had a hard time finding the needed material “Aluminum”. But we all had fun and enjoyed making it. Some of us get vey tired sawing the ply woods to be used for the project. Angelo get hurt also with the hammer. But he continued to make it. We had a “trial and error” for the balls fell down and make it rotate the loops we made. After almost 2 hours of making it, at last! We’re done! We all decided to keep it at Maricar’s home for she’s our leader. After that, we say good bye to each other and we all went home.
Home Sweet Home! It’s very nice to stay with your loved ones specially on holidays. I spent my vacation with my family. I spent my time, updating myself with the current updates using the internet for I’m so busy that I didn’t know the latest news, updates and other things. I’m always online on my FB account trying to communicate with my friends not to miss them. I also spend my time attending some affairs in our Barangay like the Christmas Party and the Misa de Gallo. Christmas time came, we attended the last “Simbang Gabi” and after we went home, we waited for the clock to strike twelve. It’s Christmas! My mother gave us gifts and we were all thankful for that. We hugged them and kissed her. :D Our family ate together for the Noche Buena. Dec.25, it’s morning already and we had to wake up for we have to attend the mass. And so we did. Dec.26, 27. 28, 29--- the day of our Christmas Party in Manzon, I and Joyme saw each other at the party, we talked and talked because we surely missed each other. We waited for Palmera trying to wait also for his cousin, “James” (my crush)…hahaha :D But they didi not attend but Palmera’s brother did. His brother said to me that Palmera was with James and he started teasing me to him… Hahaha After that, some guys asked for our number but we did not give it because it’s personal and we don’t want it to be publicly known… Hahaha Some asked for a dance but we were too shy for that. J After the party we all went home and rested for it’s too late. Again days passed, and at last! “KABOOMM!!! KABLAMM!!” it’s new year’s eve. The noise of the horns and firecrackers filled the whole surroundings. Foods for Media Noche were already prepared. We all waited for it and when the 10-second countdown began, we all jumped with joy blowing horns and lighting the “fountains”. It’s 2011!!! It’s another year to begin! The year goes from 2KX to 2KXI. And it’s the year of the RABBIT! :D We all greeted each other a “HAPPY, HAPPY NEW YEAR!” We all ate together and after that we slept for we have to attend the mass on the first day of the year and it’s a holy day of obligation for it’s the Solemnity of the Motherhood of Mama Mary. J
Years may passed, good byes, thank you, sorry… all those words might be uttered from each person’s mouth. It’s another year that had passed, lessons, experiences and moments that had been shared with the people you love the most will last. As these treasures should be kept in heart no matter how many years may came and passed. For the hurts that had happened…”SORRY”, is the magical word and the mysterious solution is to learn from those bad experiences for they were the key to solve the next bunch of problems for the NEW YEAR to begin. Happy New Year! More powers for 2KXI and God bless!
(GOD WILL NEVER LEAVE YOU NO MATTER WHAT TIME YOU CALL AND NEED HIM, FOR GOD DOESN’T CHOOSE TIME, EVEN YEAR TO HELP AND GUIDE YOU… 2010 HAD ALREADY PASSED BUT GOD’S LOVE WILL ALWAYS AND FOREVER WILL LASTS! :))
