WOOT WOOT!

WE DID IT! MUAH! YESH! FINALLY DONE! WE'RE SO BAWB!

Tonight was Kent-Meridian Technology Academy's Multicultural Night and it was a hit. I was Performance Manager, Cue Director, Balut Eating Contest Mike, and part of the F.A.C. performance. It was amazing. I invited the beautiful Mara and satisfied Trek's needs. Haha. I've missed Mara so much, oh my goodness!!! I'm so glad I got to see her today and surprise peeps. WOOT WOOT! Even though I wasn't able to hang out, I was glad to a part of an event that put smiles and laughs on people's faces

My Favorite Parts:

-When I realized how much I was needed. I'm not overexagerating or anything, but I was called almost everywhere. WOOT WOOT x2!
-Buying the fans; Tanvir agreed to helping me find fans. Dang Cheska told me we'd have them! But it's okay, I talked to her about it. Even though it didn't seem like she was in control, she was just as stressed out as all of us were. Tanvir and I went to Party City, Target, Top Foods, Ross, Jhoann's, and finally Dollar Tree. They all didn't have anything except DOLLAR TREE! I'm so going to go there for everything from now on. Haha.
-Seeing Sandra on stage with her Koreans peoplez, I LOVE HER!!!!! It was super cute with Cindy doing swords, cartwheels, and you know. Haha.
-TINIKLING/CARINOSA performance. Even if I was scared, it happened, and it went very well. I was super happy. We got volunteers like Rykiel, Toby, Lisa M, and MR'HARTLEY! YESH! That part was funny. Haha.
-Balut Eating Contest; Camillo won for the students, Mrs. Drake won for the adults! WOOT!
-Seeing his face in the crowd. :] Worth it.
-Seeing my parents on the side. :D Even more worth it.
-Exhilaration that it was finally over and everyone congratulating me and saying I did a good job. WOOT WOOT x3! Hahahaha.

Track Season starts next Monday. Am I pumped? That's a check to the yesh.

Shout out to Mr. Hartley!:]

KMTA MC Night.

Mahn, I'm nervous. Could we put it together? Can we do it?
I keep cracking my knuckles and moving my leg. Gahz. We can do it. I believe in us. But am I the only one? Naw, we all believe we can, right?

GAHZ!

What a Day.

I woke up with a resentment in my fragile heart. Right now, I'm super vulnerable. Goodness gracious. I put clothes on, ate breakfast, brushed teeth, popped into Sandisan's car, and went to school. Today was kinda gray, jazz was depressing. Anre and Sandra cheered me up in Chem, Sandra was a helping hand in Japanese, and the way to Math, Deveon came. :] Math was hard though... Because I'm frustrated with Ms. Reed. No comment on it but I have to promise to myself I'm going to study hard for Monday's Trig Test.



Fisher's was a drag with the debate. My eye kept bothering and it was hard taking out the white gunk, but like literally right now my whole left eye is red. GAHZ! Hahahaha. It was sad to look at him... But I had to put a brave face and chill. We got to play Monopoly at the end! That definitely cheered me up. Lunch was calm, I ate with him and we walked around. Trek and Momo threw pennies at us, bwahahaha. Drake's class was TIGHT! I did a fantastic job as the Oracle and had a lively debate with Massagli (Oedipus). I'm super excited for the next couple of days in Drake's class. I'm going for the Best Actress award for our class! Presentation, I think, is one of my strongest abilities. And one of my most faveeeeeees. Hahaha. Skipped down to Transier's and watched an Art Institue lady talk about video production and show us articles. I went to the back fo the library and showed Mr. Transier my CTE Commercial Pitch and blew him away. WOOT! I fell asleep next to him for like 15 minutes. He said something that I will keep to heart, "Maria, you work too hard." As simple as that, he was right. When the last bell rang, I went to Transier's and presented my CTE Pitch to VidProd Club and got filmed. Then Momo and Sandisan and I headed to the bus and left for the mysterious journey I've been waiting for over several months now... Momo had to go home, so that left Sandisan and I. The time I held in my hands with Sandra today was my favorite part of today. It showed to me that Sandra really is one of my truest and bestest friends. We're both not perfect, or 100% there for each other, but we try, and try and try our hardest. I can't wait to live my life day by day able to hold her hand. THANK YOU SANDRA!!!



Progress: I've cried more than I wanted to.. But I'm going to be strong like you said I was. I'm sorry.. For everything. Tomorrow was suppose to be the big Four. But everything will be fine.. Or it won't.

A Day of a Head Held High

I have a plan. A plan to make things better. But time needs to do its job right, and we must all have patience. My plan will not take its course now, of course. But we'll do how time deals with life.

ANYWAYS ON A LIGHTER SUBJECT.

Mum came home with papers and files saying that I will be a lawyer. Haha. She printed out information, admissions, and qualities that a Harvard Law Student or Yale Law Student needs to know. I started laughing because I bet you she'll change my mind to want to become a lawyer. I love my Mum. She's so caring, fair, and super funny. Hahahahahaha. Maybe not as funny as my dad, though.

On a deeply-thought-out moment: I can't stop glancing at the flowers in the glass vase across from me. They're wilting and petals are starting to fall. Among the yellow flowers, the orange/pink in the middle stands tall. That's like me standing tall against the opposing evil forces. Haha. Thank you for your sweet kindness.

Life Is Never Too Hard

Day Two into Semester Two.

Bwahaha. So far, so good. Fixed my studying habits and time management! Talked things over with my family, and cleared some stuff up with the boyfriend. :] I'm hyperactive in the morning, I just noticed that. I love going to school. No joke. Classes are tight, I got Sandra in six out of the seven classes I got and I wake up every morning to my warm room. I have high hopes for Semester Two and have faith in myself. My parents really support me and care about the things I do. On Sunday night, I showed my Dad&Mum all my video projects and stuff. I showed them Drake's "One Liar's Begginning" project, and they didn't really get it because they never read the story but that's all good. Then I showed them my Globalization Project, and my dad started laughing SUPER hard when Armann showed up on camera hahaha. "Greeazzyy" in my boyfriend's words. Haha. I showed them my CBA for CWI and they loved it! Then showed them a whole bunch videos from Video Production, the RWR I anchored in, and the Special Tech Expo video that I anchored, too. They told me they're really proud of me. Dude, I've got mad presentation skills, haha. I love getting in front of an audience and just presenting, I wonder if there's another word for that. BWAHAHAHA.

I'm not quite sure what I want to be still. I change my mind like every week literally. This week I've been stuck on News Anchor, Reporter, and Film Producer. Gahz. You should've seen my dad's face when I asked him if I could be one of those. Haha. Someone with the lovely name of Mara told me, "Why are you asking them if that's alright? Isn't it your future?" I told her, "Yeah! You're right, but still.." I'm so excited for the weekend, I got some HUGE plans. BWAHA!

Thoughtfully, M.N.M.

Finally Part 2.

It's done! The first semester of Sophomore year, and already half way done with this school year. Onwards to Junior year. :] I'm actually looking forward for this upcoming semester. I can say that a lot of things have changed since the previous year. I always talk to Esther about how each year make life turn into a different perspective. Dang, I miss Freshmen year. But there are some things I don't miss. Hahahha.

GOODNESS GRACIOUS! This week is OVER! Finals are gone. I don't have to face them for another four months, but there's still the Compass Test next monday, the HSPE, the WASL, blahz, etc. Haha. Sophomore year has opened my eyes to a lot of cool new things like new teachers, very interesting classes, unique people, and opportunity gateways for the future.
Let's make a list!

Things That Have Changed:

• My Classes. I miss my old freshmen teachers, goodness gracious. Hartley, Egbert, Christiansen, even Kuebker! GAHZ! My teacher of the year for Freshmen year was Mrs. Egbert, this year it's Mr. Transier.
• Filipino-American Club. Mahn, this club, I'm so glad to have become president and helped these kids create memories they can record onto their transcript.
• My Child-like Senses. Every day I feel myself growing up into the person God destined for me to be, minus some minor things. I wake up each morning with a purpose or goal to accomplish, and I always success at that. WOOT WOOT! I feel more reserved and wiser, I don't mean like "Ooh I'm better than you and am cooler" Naw! I mean like just things feel more different. I appreciate more of the things I have. I have incorpated my emotions in the decisions I've made and have worked on being more selfish than selfless. Someone told me that if you always put people in front of you, in the end, you'll be last in line.
• My Friends. DANG! I can say that the people I hang out with and have amazing conversations have changed. I got Anre, Mara, Esther, Jhoann, Joanna, Hao, Deveon, Patrek, Mohamed, Jason, and etc. Thank you, you guys.
• You; I miss you. Things could be back to normal... But we both know it's difficult. I miss your laughter, your smile, your hand to hold, and the insane things we'd talk about at night. I miss you.

Things That Have Stayed The Same:

• The School. KMHS+KMTA IS FRIZZIN' AMAZING! Although I am one person, I agree that I have contributed to this lovely school.
• This blog. I'm still kind of working on how to write out what's on my mind and stay devoted to it on a weekly basis. Please leave comments when you like!
• My Family. Although we've improved a lot on behavior issues, our love for each other has always stayed the same.
• Drive for Track. DUDE! I'm so pschyed for this upcoming Track Season. I really want to focus and actually have a super good year. I'll have Als and hopefully Sandisan and Deveon by my side, and it's going to be a freaking HUGE BLAST!
• Sandisan. Arigatogozaimashita! You have stuck by my side without trying and when I call for you, you run the second I say "I need you." I even miss you right now because I'm so used to seeing you. Hahahaha. You should teach me how to cook Korean food. I'm so proud to have you as a best friend. I know I'm super weird, and you always talk about that, but I KNOW that deep down you love that I'm weird. BWAHAHAHA. x] Sometimes I get mad at you for small things, but I get over it because I love you too much. I'll text you in a few, korean buddy. I hope we did good on our Japanese Final!

Shout-Out To You:

Because of you I was able to realize a lot about myself I never looked at or listened to. You gave me a place in your heart without me asking for it, and been there for me at the times I didn't need or but most especially when I did need you. You opened my eyes to a life I never thought of, more importantly a relationship I only dreamed of having. I treasure the phone convos we talk, the laughs we share on your couch, cooking ramen on your kitchen, arguing about weird stuff, calling you a dork, and my favorite part when we're just with each other and there's pure silence. Thank you, D.R.I.
