At least I still have time to get better. ^^o OOOOh!! And I almost forgot! We also won in the Car Racing we had for physics!! yay! That's two winnings in one day! Coolie! ^^o *sniff sniff* There's nothing like a dry cough and a stuffy-plus-red-nose to make it better eh? ~_~ So there, my day went pretty well. ^^o Our 10-subjects a day plus 2 20-minute breaks and 1 40-mintute lunch time is working pretty well. ^_^ Ohhhh and yeah, he came to school today!

   wanna see me?

I finally got to download THe Laughing Song! ^^o yay! The version is a bit different from what I'm going to sing, but the notes are the same so it'd have to do. ^^o The version I got is sung by Charlotte Church. you know her right? ^^o She's my MOST favorite singer! it's weird though... people say I sound like her. ?_? Someone even called me the Charlotte Chruch of the the Philippines. ^_^' DOn't believe them though. I'm sound too terrible to be called that. tsk tsk. Anyway, today has been pretty normal. Had Himig practice, but guess what?? He wasn't there! Ate Kwami (a friend and classmate of *him* she's also a himig member - alto ) told me he had a fever during the afternoon. :( aww.. I hope he gets better... we're going to have eliminations tomorrow! and I'm SICK!!!! Noooo!!!! X( Oh well... hmmm... I've decided to let y'all see my pic! ^^o (haha! as if you you actually want to! 8-}) But I am warning you. I am a creature not meant to be seen by sensitive eyes, or those sensitive to how one looks like. ^^o You have been warned. me me2 O_O Don't I just look baaaaad? =P I warned you, so don't go blaming me if your eyes got all bloody and stuff. XD heehee! Anyway... I'm starting to feel all heavy again. XD I think I need to sleep. T_T Take care! Don't let my picture ruin your day ok? ^^o buh-bye!

   A journey...

Thank you all for wishing me to feel better. Yes, I'm feeling better than yesterday, but I'm still sick. >.< Today has been, er... normal. yeah, it was pretty normal. Except for the part when a classmate of mine and I had a little misunderstanding... (turns out it was MY bad. T__T) I hope he's not mad at me though... T_T I said I was sorry! And we didn't have Himig practice today, which is somewhat both a relief and a disappointment. Relieved cuz I'm still sick, (don't wanna sneeze while singing or get everyone else sick) Disappointed because I sooo wanted to see them. You know, THEM. But it's alright, at least I still got to speak to them even for a short time. They called me all the way from the gazeebo and told me we have no practice. guess who called? ^_^ Anyway, just earlier this morning I took a trip down memory lane. I imagined meeting my 12 yr-old self. I imagined telling my 12 yr-old self of my current status in life. How I deal with people, my new friends, the activities I'm in to, and of course, How I came to love singing so much! I could imagine my 12 yr-old self not believing the part about the singing. Honestly, before I went to high school, I never thought much of singing. Much less having to perform for other people. I always thought of myself as a terrible singer. y'know? And so I would never have imagined myself to be singing on stage, performing, being a "soloista" and such. I would've said, "You're joking, right? That would NEVER happen! ME?? a singer???" Hahah! I could laugh watching my 12 yr-old self getting all hysterical and stuff. ^^o *sigh* I miss the old days... Not that I don't like it now, but I sometimes want to revisit them again. Now I really know what they mean by never being a child again. >.< This morning, when I woke up, for some reason, I felt as if I was back in my gradeschool days. It was a different feeling. Feeling as if I'm ready for anything the school has to offer, as if when I get to school I'd be going in an all-girls classroom. There's just this atmosphere at my old school that I really like. A feeling of warmness, you know? I don't know, I can't really explain much. But it's just different. Speaking of which, remember I once told you guys about our Soc. Sci. teacher having us draw doodles and interpreting them? I was the first to be interpreted. She said I have what we call "Wendy Syndrome". Until she said it, I never knew I had it. Now it seems clear, the way I sometimes have trouble letting go of things, How I sometimes find it hard imagining myself as an adult, how I constantly miss my childhood days where things seemed to be so simple and happy. In case you didn't know, Wendy Syndrome is referring to the Wendy from Peter Pan where she didn't want to grow up. There's a lot more to the interpreting stuff... but I don't really feel like putting it all here for now. ^_^ I hope you guys don't mind... Anyway, is there anyone out there who has "The Laughing Song" sung by Charlotte Church in their computers? >.< I need it! I keep trying to download it from Kazaa, but the user keeps going offline! T_T wahh... I have to go now... I need to finish my homework... I'm sorry, I 'll try to visit you guys after I finish with my homework ok? bye! take care!

   No Family Day for me.

I woke up feeling terrible. My nose is clogged (remember I said I've been sneezing a lot lately?) my throat was sore and dry, my head felt heavy and my eyes were all puffy. My dad had stomach-aches too. So neither of us are in good conditions to go to the Family Day. So I texted my Homeroom Teacher, Ms. Hermano (Himig Moderator too!) and told her we can't come. *sigh* I feel a bit better now because I already drank lotsa water. It really helps me. ^^o My nose isn't all stuffy but my throat is still sore. I hope I get better tomorrow. I don't want to sing with a sore throat. It's not that a sore throat would do anything to my voice (I don't use throat voice, in case you're wondering) , it's just that placing my voice is harder with a sore throat. meh. Anyway, I just ate lunch. For some reason my YM isn't working. argh. Anyway, I'm still wondering where Sahkiryce is... :( blegh. I need to go and get water. I'll post something again later. ^^o Have a nice day everyone! ^^, ciao!

   oh where, oh where can she be?

I was looking through my friends list and I noticed Sahkiryce wasn't in it! So I tried to search for her at the search bar. and it said no users were found. wahh! T_T Has she gone and left us? :( wahh.... I feel so sad! T_T

   Foolish heart, hear me calling, stop before you start falling, foolish heart, you've been wrong before don't be wrong anymore.

O_O I just got off the phone with my friend, Christine. meh. I'm exhausted. The day went ok... As I said in my previous post, I went to school for Himig practice. We learned a new song. It's an ethnic song actually. ^_^ It's title "Idemdem Mallida" I'm not sure if the dialect is Maranao or what, but it's a really good song. ^^o There's a part there which is an obligato, and I was chosen to do it! It means I'll sing a different tune from all the other sopranos. A much higher tune, mind you. I just hope I do ok... ~_~ Anyway, at around 11:30 I went to my voice lesson at U.P. which ended at around 1:00 p.m. I went back to school to wait for my two friends Via and Mj. I found out while waiting for them that Himig practice wasn't over but I didn't go back because I already made plans with Via and Mj. Instead of watching Excorcist, we watched a local movie here entitled "Feng Shui". We spent most of the movie time screaming with all the other people in the cinemas. ^_^' It was better than what I expected... heheh.. (I tend to underestimate local movies... ^_^' It's actually my first time to watch a local movie on the big screen. ^^o) Anyway, after that the three of us just kinda hung about. Then Via had to go home so Mj and I decided to go to McDonald's and wait there for my ride. While there, however, (around 5:45 p.m.) some of the Himig Xientia members passed by. He was still with them. They were surprised to see me there. They all thought I already went home. And that's when they told me that I should have gone and stayed with them instead. They said they had extreme "bonding" that they didn't notice the sun was already setting. When they said that I immediately felt bad. They "bonded" without me? But then I thought at least I got to spend time with two of my friends whom I rarely see. Still, after that I kinda felt heavy and glum. What if when I come to Himig practice on monday they treat me as if they don't know me? Then I thought, I'm pretty sure they wouldn't... After all, it's not as if I've been gone for more than a year or what... it was just a day. But even though I tried to convince myself that they wouldn't leave me out on monday, I called christine to tell her how I was feeling. And she said to me that she thinks I'll do ok. And if ever, she thinks I can catch up real quick with them. and that with how I deal with people, she's sure they won't leave me out. T_T I just hope what she said is true... *sigh* anyway, I've been sneezing all week. But I don't have a cold. I've no idea what this is. O_O Family Day's tomorrow. The same day my dad finds out about my grades. wish me luck people... ~_~ Give me courage... wahhh! I don't think I can face my dad the moment he sees my card! T_T I hope you rather enjoyed your day. *in great need of hugs* *hint hint* take care! random song's lyrics: Misty's Song Pokemon Ash: *yawn* G'night Brock, g'night Pikachu, g'night Misty. See ya in the morning. Misty: G'night Ash.. sweet dreams... Out here in the quiet of the night, Beneath the stars and moon We both know we've got somethin' on our minds We won't admit, but it's true You look at me, I look away. I wanna tell you what I'm feeling, but I don't know how to start I wanna tell you, but now I'm afraid that you might break my heart Oh, why should anything so easy, ever be so hard to do? I wanna tell you what I'm feeling, and to say that, I love you. I practice all the thing that I could say, Line by line, every word I tell myself today could be the day, But every time, I lose my nerve I look at you, you look away I wanna tell you what I'm feeling, but I don't know how to start I wanna tell you, but now I'm afraid that you might break my heart Oh, why should anything so easy, ever be so hard to do? I wanna tell you what I'm feeling, and to say that, I love you. Why, do you turn away? It must be, you're afraid like me I try, but I can't pretend that I Don't feel for you the way I do Can't you see? I wanna tell you what I'm feeling, but I don't know how to start I wanna tell you, but now I'm afraid that you might break my heart Oh, why should anything so easy, ever be so hard to do? I wanna tell you what I'm feeling, and to say that, I love you. I wanna tell you what I'm feeling, but I don't know how to start I wanna tell you, but now I'm afraid that you might break my heart Oh, why should anything so easy, ever be so hard to do?

   Perfect

Thanks to all those who commented yesterday. I know I shouldn't feel too depressed about my grades and stuff... but, if you were in my place you would too... It's my first time to ever fail two subjects! I never thought that I'd ever fail anything. I'm not saying that because I think I'm smart... (and believe me, I didn't fail because I'm dumb). and yes, all of them(teachers) told us that it's ok if we fail during the first semester. we just have to do better in the second semester. Besides, with the new grading system and all, we're bound to fail major subjects. maybe I should tell you how our grading system works... You can skip this if you want to: For better understanding I'll give an example. Suppose we have a quiz. A 10 item quiz. And suppose I got 8 out 10. Normally, the grade would be transmuted (or was that transputed? *shrug* I don't know), which will make 8 equivalent to around 90-something percent. BUt in our new grading system, 0 is = to 0. Which means, if you got 8 out 10, it means you only get 80%. And you know what our passing mark is? 85% for Major subjects (Geometry, Chemistry, Advanced Biology, Physics, Research and English) and 83% for Minor subjects (Social Science, Filipino, Elective, and P.E.H.M) So that means in a 10 item quiz, all of us should get at least 9 correct answers just to be able to pass. I'm relieved I even make it in my other subjects... Now you know why I'm barely hanging on here. -_- *sigh* But it's ok. I've already told myself that I'd do better this semester. I just hope my parents take it well... :( Oh well... Anyway, sorry you guys, I won't be able to come to your sites. I'm kind of doing something. I have a test to prepare for tomorrow. oh yeah, today has been... err... normal? nothing really happened except the fact that I found out I failed 2 subjects. At least I got to see him. ^^, We had choir practice again. Which reminds me. My dad just told me he's planning a concert for me. He's planning on making Himig Xientia (official choir in school in which I sing) and Himig Agham (the choir in my sister's school in which she sings too.) Funny, both Himig Agham and Himig Xientia mean the same thing. 'Xientia' and 'Agham' both mean 'science'. ^_^ Which is explained by the fact that both of us go to a Science High School! ^^o ok...so I have to go now! ^^o I'm off to study! Wish me luck with my studies ok? and don't forget those hugs! ^^o take care and enjoy your day! no pic for today, instead here's a song. Perfect Simple Plan Hey dad look at me Think back and talk to me Did I grow up according to plan? And do you think I'm wasting my time doing things i wanna do? 'But it hurts when you disapprove all along And now I try hard to make it I just wanna make you proud I'm never gonna be good enough for you I can't pretend that I'm alright And you can't change me (Chorus) 'Cuz we lost it all Nothing last forever I'm sorry I can't be perfect Now it's too late and And we can't go back I'm sorry I can't be perfect I try not to think About the pain I feel inside Did you know you used to be my hero? All the days you spent with me Now seem so far away And it feels like you don't care anymore And now I try hard to make it I just want to make you proud I'm never gonna be good enough for you can't stand another fight And nothing's alright (Chorus) Nothing's gonna change the that you said Nothing's gonna make this right again Please don't turn your back I can't believe it's hard Just to talk to you 'Cuz you don't understand This is how I kinda feel. THough not exactly...just a little.

   Why'd you have to go and make things so complicated?

^_^ Today hasn't been very good... We had the deliberation today. I'm pretty sure I failed at least 5 subjects. >.< Maaan... how am I supposed to face my parents?? What's worse is Family Day is this sunday, and report cards are going to be given out on the same day. >.< WAhh!!! T_T That thought got me pretty depressed the whole day... After lunch things went a bit uphill. We had choir practice and all of us were there. ^_^ We did a few activities, we planned a concert for the Himig Xientia. I think it'll be around january or something... ^_^ And yes, *he* was there. ^_^ But he kept poking me and stuff while we're having a break. >.< So I poked him back. Then we start a poking fight. ^_^' heheh! I guess he was feeling playful... ^_^' ^///^ While we were planning the concert, Ate Abi and I said that he'd have a solo performance there. ^.^ you know what he said? He said he wanted me to sing with him! He wanted to do a duet with me! ^^o ^///^ heheh... we'll see. ^^o So anyway, argh! I've got lots to do. and my worrying over my grades isn't helping. does anyone here know about William of Normandy? What are his contributions in the field of culture and literature? >.< I honestly have no idea who that man is. And I'm having lots of trouble finding his contributions. >.< arrgghh!!! *sigh* I'm feeling depressed again... :( I better end this post before I rant some more or I rub off my depression on you guys. take care and have a nice day. ^_^ Don't even bother saying not to worry over my grades. or that you're sure I didn't fail anything. I'm a HUNDRED percent sure I did. -_- But thanks anyway if you were thinking of putting that.

   Just a day, just an ordinary day. just trying to get by, just a boy, just an ordinary boy but he was lookin' to the sky.

Thanks Shanny!!! ^^o Wonder why? If she didn't mention the hurricane that hit them just last week(?) I wouldn't have gotten the correct answer on our quiz earlier during Soc. Sci. ^^o The answer was of course, Hurricane Ivan. ^^o heheh! So anyway, school today was pretty much ok. We did our dance again. The filipino dance I talked about last week. ^^o I got a pretty good grade in our English Word List quiz. ^___^ I'm happy! ^^o And later on in the afternoon, my Physics teacher asked me and christine to do the top 10 of the day. (Remember I told you that he asks us something (e.g. What would you do if you were invisible for a *give length of time you want to be invisible*) and we write our answers on a small piece of paper and then we'll pas it to him. The next day he will give us the list of the top 10 answers he chose best. ^^o). I'm doing the top 10 of the other section, while Christine will do the top 10 of our section. ^_^ Today's question was: "What's the worst insult you recieved/gave/heard?" ... I already read all the answers from Fleming(the other section). And I must say I'm having a hard time in choosing because... honestly, most of them were... uhh... how should I put this? ... Corny? ^_^' Trust me, if you were the one reading their answers, you would have the same reaction. -_- Anyway, just before I my ride picked me up, I was walking with Hannah around the school. We were passing by the gazeebo when someone called me. It was him! ^.^ Hannah and I waved hi, and he, instead of waving hi, started teasing me about a boy I don't even know. I was asking him who he was referring to. I really honestly didn't know! >.< Turns out he was referring to the guy I complimented last thursday. o.O The guy played the guitar for his performance and he's really good! So when he passed by, I tapped him and told him, "you were great!". Does saying that mean I like him? or have a crush on him? ~_~ If *HE* only knew who I *really* liked. -_- bleh. Anyway, *urp* oops! 'scuse me! ^_^' I just finished eating dinner. heehee! It was delicious! ^.^ *gets yogurt* mmm! yummy for dessert! ^.^ would you like some? ^^o @_@ which reminds me... christine and I were supposed to go out after school and eat pizza. BUt we changed our minds. So instead we might do it tomorrow. ^^o Oooh! this saturday me and my friends are going out to the movies! We're going to watch Excorcist (did I spell it right?). They told me it's a really scary movie. ^_^' After that I'm gonna have my Voice lessons. ^^. like I've said before, i'm learning a new song! "THe laughing Song"! ^^. It's a really cute song! ^______^ SO anyway, that's all for now! I'll try and go to your sites now ok? sorry again about yesterday... -_- Take care and enjoy your day! *more hugs!!!* More mushiness: Selected lines from some songs... ^^o "Maybe, it's wrong to say please love me too 'Coz I know you'll never do Somebody else is waiting there inside for you Maybe it's wrong to love you more each day 'Coz I know he's here to stay But my love is strong I don't know if this is wrong But I know to whom you should belong" --> Maybe by King "Late at night when all the world is sleeping I stay up and think of you and I wish on a star That somewhere you are thinking of me too ... I wonder if you ever see me and I wonder if you know I'm there If you looked in my eyes would you see what's inside Would you even care I just wanna hold you close but so far All I have are dreams of you So I wait for the day and the courage to say How much I love you." --> "Dreaming of you by Selena And that's the mushiness for the day! ^^o I'll be posting more *cough*mushiness*cough* when I return. Thank you for tuning in, this is Claire now signing off.
