Claiming of The Dream Shoes!

Claiming of The Dream Shoes!
                             

            Finally, for a very long time, I finally claimed this dream shoes and I was really happy to have these gorgeous shoes! :) My father bought this for me and I am very excited to wear them if ever I will have a basketball game! Haha..Kobe Shoes is mine! :P I will surely take care of them and never lose them since I really like these shoes! I have waited for this time and now, the time came already! :)

Field Trip 2012

Field Trip 2012
               April 27, 2012 (Friday). This was the day of our field trip to the province of Lucban, Quezon, specifically the Batis Aramin. I admit that I was excited this day but it seemed tiring because we need to travel for 3 hours straight to reach Quezon and I needed to wake up very early to go to school for me not to be left by the bus. Unluckily, I woke up at 3:45 am and I really hurried because I was already late and I thought I can't catch up with the bus already so I moved very quickly. When I reached school, the bus was almost leaving because most students were already inside the bus. Fortunately, I made it on time! :) It was 5:30 in the morning and I was very sleepy so I slept for a while and I think all people slept during the trip except the driver! Finally, we reached Batis Aramin! The view was really beautiful and I really thought that I will enjoy that day with my classmates and friends! 

                           

                 In there, we had a lot of fun activities like rapelling, zip lining, and wall climbing! We showed how happy we were and how we enjoyed those activities. We showed teamwork, cooperation, and fun with each other even we really got tired with those events!

                           

                            

                           

                           

                           

                           

                           

                           

                           

                           

                  After the lunch break, this was the part that most of us were waiting for! SWIMMING TIME! :P We enjoyed the pools and we had fun playing games in the water, even though the sun was up there shining! I really think most suffered sunburn! Haha..thankfully, I didn't but I still have a Filipino color! :) After swimming, we needed to go home to Alabang because we needed to travel 3 hours again going back and the trip back home was memorable with my classmates because the field trip was the last activity that I will have with my classmates so we shared laughs and fun! :) I really enjoyed that day! It was tiring but at least I had fun and it was an unforgettable day for me with my funny classmates! :D

PROM 2012: Amplified

                             PROM 2012: Amplified


            April 19, 2012. This was a night to cherish. This was a night to remember, especially for the Grade 9 class since this was our very 1st Prom in our lives! :D When I arrived at home to prepare, I can tell you that I'm really excited for this interesting event. I even got asleep in the afternoon so when I woke up at 4:30pm, I was cramming and I was in a hurry because I only had 2 hours to prepare everything and the prom will start at 6:30 pm so I hurried and fix myself! :) I wore my formal attire well and fixed my face! Hahaha! Since, it was my very first prom, my grandmother really wanted to take pictures of me so I granted her request, even though I was already in a hurry, but still, she just asked for one time so I just granted her wish.


         

         

         

                                      


           Now, here I come to Acacia Hotel at 6:45 pm thanks to my aunt for bring me in the hotel just in time with her car! :D WOW! I saw pretty ladies and handsome gentlemen around the area and I started to look at myself in the mirror if I'm one of them! :P Hahaha..I think I was and the event started! We ate dinner with delicious food and performed "Teenage Dream" in front of teachers and students. I can say that we really did our best even though we only had few time to practice and don't ever look back again with that performance! Hahaha! Still, I enjoyed the prom with my friends and classmates, even though my girlfriend was not able to join with me. But still, the event was unforgettable and a great experience for me! I shared good time and fun with Grade 9 and I expect that my prom next year will be a lot better! I can say that this prom is a great time already for me! I will not forget this night as I got amplified! :D


                              

                             

                             

                             

                             

                                         

                                         

                           


Redemption VS Domination

                                        Redemption vs Domination
                                   

         VS    

                                  

              Game on! It's the PBA Finals featuring two powerhouse and balanced teams right now in the league, the BMEG Llamados and the Talk N Text Tropang Texters! It is REDEMPTION VS DOMINATION! First of all, it is DOMINATION for the Talk N Text Tropang Texters because they've been in the Finals for 5 consecutive conference, including this one. Out of 5 championship stints, they've won 3 titles, so we can say that the last 5 conferences were dominated and the theme was played by the Talk N Text team. This team is really tough to beat. They are deep in lineup, have the experience in the Finals, and they are athletic and have the heart of a champion, since they are the defending champions. No doubt, they have slight edge over BMEG as slight  favorites for this final series. Let's go to BMEG Llamados, my favorite team :) this is the 1st Finals stint of BMEG over the last 3 years and the 1st Finals stint in just 2 conference under their new head coach, Tim Cone. This is REDEMPTION for the BMEG Llamados because in the first conference under Tim Cone, the Philippine Cup, the BMEG team had a very disappointing finish after being the number 1 team in the eliminations but they were upset and defeated by just the number 8 team, the  Powerade Tigers. It was a sorry conference for them and didn't win the title. And now, here comes the BMEG, still carrying that nightmare as their motivation, entering the Finals and have a very good chance to claim the PBA title and make their redemption complete and to prove to many people that the win by the Powerade team against them was just a FLUKE! :)

               This series is considered as one of the must-watched championship series in the PBA right now because these two teams are so athletic, deep, and balanced in terms of their lineups. They have good coaches and they play efficient systems under their respective coaches, which lead them here to the Finals. It will be James Yap and Denzel Bowles, who will carry the BMEG Llamados to a championship against Jimmy Alapag (shown in the picture with blue jersey #3) and Donnel Harvey, the import of the Talk N Text, who will lead the Texters to their 4th title in the last 5 conferences. I really say that I'm happy for my favorite team, BMEG, that they have gone too far up to this level, the last stage which is the Finals. I know it feels good but the quest is not yet over. B MEG still needs to beat the defending champions, Talk N Text to claim the title and to be the best in the PBA! Win or Lose, I will always be a BMEG Fan! :)

Hey Juliet!

                                         Hey Juliet!
                     

        This song has gotten into my ears and ever since I heard this, it didn’t get out of my mind! It’s title is “Hey Juliet” by LMNT and it tells about a boy who is lovestruck to a girl in their school, and the boy wants his girl crush to know that he wants to be her Romeo and she will be his Juliet, that’s why it’s Hey Juliet! Haha! I’m not referring to any girl in this song! This song just entertained me and I love to hear it whenever I do work in the computer because I feel relaxed and I stay in the groove while doing work! #Hey Juliet! J

                                                           
       

Back with a Bang!

Back with a Bang!
           We are back to the reality, again. The Holy Week break is over and it’s all business at school now. Time to submit stressful school works and most teachers are cramming because a lot of days have passed and we haven’t reached the middle part of the lesson plans, so it will be a tougher and more stressful schedule for all of us as we will deal with more lessons, at the same time, more homework and projects as we hurry to catch up with the lessons that we need to learn. That is life. I can say that just 1 week have passed after the holy week break, I’m pressured already since we are flooded of projects this quarter. I can say that I am not giving enough time to my girlfriend already since I am doing a lot of things already, but thankfully she understands me and I want her to be proud of me! J Well, it is the last quarter and I’m doing all my best to finish my school year in an excellent note and again, it is the final push and  I need to pull all my best that I can to succeed and go to higher level of learning!

                         


Monster Bowles is a Beast on a Mission, ready to conquer PBA throne!

Monster Bowles is a Beast on a Mission, ready to conquer PBA throne! 

                                  

                                  

         Denzel Bowles, the prolific import of my favorite team Bmeg Llamados, also known as “Super Bowles” and “Monster Bowles”, has made his name marked in the PBA. I’m sorry if I will talk about Bmeg team but I can say that I’m really happy to be an avid fan of this team because they really play well this conference like never before. They had great chemistry with each other and they are razor sharp in playing basketball! No doubt that they have a very good chance in winning the title and beat the powerhouse and defending champions Talk N Text Tropang Texters in this conference! One of the factors for their success lately is none other than their main import, Denzel Bowles! He is really a dominant force for the Bmeg team and he is unstoppable, even two or three players are already guarding him,  when playing near the hoop! He is athletic and has the potentials to be a future NBA player since he is too young at the age of 22. He has the moves and he can dunk the ball through the hoop if he’s unguarded, that just show how dominant he is as an import!

                                              
                                  

                                    
                                

                               

     No doubt, he will win the PBA Best Import for this conference and lately, he brought the Bmeg Llamados into the Semifinals playing against the Ginebra Kings and they are a step closer from entering the Finals. Monster Bowles is proven to be a dominant force, but his name will be marked forever in the PBA once he is ready to claim the PBA throne for him and for his team, Bmeg Llamados! J




A Blessed and Holy Week

A Blessed and Holy Week
                               

           Finally, we had a week-off break from school and it is time for us put down our pens and relax at home or at vacation for a moment! It is a total of 10 days and we can do whatever we want because we are free from school for the holy week. But it doesn’t mean that we will forget the meaning of “holy week”. I know it feels good to rest for a while but the holy week is also the time for us, people to pray and sacrifice, like what our God did for our human sins. During the break, I just stayed at home for the first 2 days. I already missed my classmates and I felt bored since the only thing I did was to watch, play video games, eat, sleep, and talk to my girlfriend and it repeats like a schedule. Then, during the weekdays, I met with my girlfriend and shared wonderful time with each other, GOOD time! J I also went to my grandparents and relatives since I felt bored at home and shared GOOD time with them. We had fun and interesting time! During Thursday, Friday, and Saturday, the atmosphere was so peaceful and quiet. I went to church to pray for the Stations of the Cross and we knew the meaning of the Holy week. Sunday came, the Easter Day! We were joyful again for our God! We ate spaghetti and shared joy with each other! I realized that the one week break from school was not a simple vacation but it gave us meaning to realize that we were to spend the Holy Week to pray and sacrifice like what our God did to save us from our sins! I felt happy and well rested from the break as well as blessed and gave me hope to finish my school year in Grade 9 in a remarkable and excellent note! J

The Performance of a Lifetime

                                                   English Playfest
                            

             This playfest was held on March 26, 2012. It was Monday. This was the day we were waiting for because we really prepared hard for this date.  It's been a month of preparation that we took before this performance and we were so grateful as a class that we were able to accomplish everything we need for the play :) When we arrived at the venue, the theater was about to be full and everything is being fixed on the stage, which added pressure to me because in an hour, the performance of my lifetime will arrive. As a class, we prayed and stayed focus minutes before the stageplay.


                            

                            

              The play went positive and impressive enough for all of us despite it was just our first time to perform in a theater in front of a massive audience! We made some couple of mistakes but our commitment and determination to our play prevailed at the end. For me, everybody performed well and some of us performed above expectations like Jason and Mika, who won Best Supporting Actor and Actress respectively. I congratulate them for their well-deserved awards! :)  And with my performance, I know that I made some mistakes and I need more experience, but I gave my very best though! Still, it was a very good job for all of us, Grade 9 class! :) At least, we proved that we have the potentials to perform extremely well in front of many viewers! I was the narrator, I had my loud and clear voice during the play which was my strongest point and I need more experience and build up more confidence for me to perform better in the future!


                                    


                             

                                              Music Festival
               Well..this was held on March 27, 2012. The day after the English Playfest. Actually, I didn't perform during this day since I already performed in the Playfest and I admit, I don't have the talent when it comes to playing instruments or anything related to music! :D haha..but 4 of our classmates represented our class during this Musicfest. Tom and Mark performed K-pop music. Sam and Yu Shin played instruments! They performed well especially Yu Shin, right M_ _ _ _ _? Haha..peace XD Well..I just watched this event with my friends. We enjoyed the event and had fun! And wait..look who's back! It was Solomon! One of our beloved 3 kings! :D We missed him and we enjoyed our time with him! 


                            

                            

             For me, all performers during the musicfest performed well and I know all of them gave their A performance to give the audience a wonderful time watching. In our case, we watched and enjoyed the event. It was a great success, as well as the playfest! I can say that this events were our performances of our lifetime! :)
