Goodbye 2009

Goodbye 2009 (: Hello 2010 !

Here comes another new year. A whole new year of excitement, adventure and memories


2009 was sure an interesting year. Sure it had its ups and downs but it made me become a whole new person and view things from a whole different perspective. I am the person I am today because of the numerous adventures and friends I have made in the year 2009.
Wow there are so many memories formed in 2009 that I can't even write each and everyone of them down but here are a few of them I would like to recall (:

2009 Memories

Sheeesh talk about a good year huh ?

Well its time to start fresh and time for new memories baby ! (:

Just Because..

So, I haven't wrote in a long time & since I'm going to be on blog spot for awhile (since our anatomy class is having one) then might as well, rely on it to relieve my stress. First off, Happy Birthday Papa (:
We're going out to eat later.. Yay !

Its SPIRIT WEEK (: Let's just say its getting really competitive especially with the juniors but I know my SENIOR class got this .

I'm STRESSED. -___- And although the college sounds fun, the process is horrible.
I miss a lot of things. I miss how things used to be although I am grateful for what I have now but still, I miss a lot of things especially _____>.<

Random much ? Yeaaah. That's how my brain works sometimes.

A RANDOM FRIDAY

August 07, 2009: The most RANDOM FRIDAY ever.
Here's my story :]

My alarm clock woke me up @ 7:30 because I thought my kuya & I were going to go to church because it was First Friday however he told me to go back to sleep & we would go later at 5:30. So I decided to sleep a few extra hours before getting ready for my senior portraits. I went there & I saw Tiffany (Shnoogums) Kuya Dean, & a few others & we just waited and chilled awhile during our shoots. I swear my kuya Dean is just like my kuya because he's so RANDOM. But whatever it was fun & stuff. Then my kuya picked me up & we went home but they didn't buy me food (MEANIES !) So I had nothing in my stomach all day & my dad drove me to La Canada to take my SAT practice exam. Damn not a good thing to do during summer with an empty stomach . Then we drove off to go to church and then my siblings & I decided to go eat at outback because I was STARVING ! & then we would meet up later with Martin Chavez (cool boy) and Patrick Pardo (cutie) to chill. However I got a surprise yet RANDOM call from Katrina Templo talking to me randomly & stuff. Then all of a sudden Shalleymar Agito (twinnie) & Katrina Templo came over & decided to chill for awhile & stuff. Then my siblings left to go meet up with Martin & Patrick while I was with Katrina & Shalley. We walked around & told secrets <3 style="font-weight: bold;">Brian Yuzon, Jaysawn , Nick, Rockwell, Nicky, Ryna, Cristin, Brandon & Ading Shannelle. Rockwell and I had our first official hangout & Shanelle & I had our first ateh & ading day :D Then I finally met up with my siblings & sfhs boys & went to starbucks & then Pinkberry to see Ish & Wendy. Overall it was a tiring & long random FRIDAY.
It sure was GREEAAAATTT :D

Happy Father's Day !

HAPPY FATHER'S DAY !

GO BLUE ! <3
Watched and unforgettable pirate show with my favorite cousin & celynne.

Officially a Senior

S U M M E R 2009 :D
Whey hello there.

So far my summer has been filled with smiles, laughs and unforgettable yet embarrassing moments.
Officially a Senior. Wow times flies so fast, it feels like yesterday as I was entering freshman year and now
I'm enjoying summer as senior year approaches. June 19. A day to remember.

It was the our last day as juniors. The last day to see some of our favorite teachers say goodbye =/ (Senora, Mr. Raschilla, Mr. Dopp) and the craziest and most embarrassing day with Natalia.

Embarrassing Moment #1 : Natalia and I went to Forever 21 at the Americana to go shop around. I was carrying a few items because I wanted to purchase them and as I was looking around I saw one of my friends. I haven't seen him in a very long time so with excitement I run out of the store to greet him ! Let's just say thank goodness Natalia was there because I totally forgot about the clothes I had in my hands and I completely ignored the sound beeping. Shooot ! I was so embarrassed when she approached me and told me about the clothes :] Don't worry I didn't steal them, I actually purchased them <3

Embarrassing Moment #2: Long story short. We had child's tickets to watch UP and we were afraid that the person who takes the ticket won't believe us in being kids even though we were not. So I had to flirt my way in by making me seem as if I was interested in him so that he would get distracted in not noticing the kids tickets.

There were so much more ! But let's just say these two are just enough.
Here to more summer fun <3

Thinking..

Wow I haven't wrote in a very long time..
Let's see, I went to California Adventures, Last LACC concert, Sfhs theater graduation, Early Morning Basketball, and of course school..
How i wish its June 19 ...

Well throughout the month of May I have still be stressed with everything..
SATs scores are killing me, Aps are finally through and now I'm just waiting for prom to arrive.

Graduation is this Saturday and boy does time go by fast..
I'm really going to miss many seniors leaving but I know that they are going to come and visit and we will all reunite again one day..

I'm really really tired of school.. -___-
I wish I was a senior graduating so I am done with all those college aps but I know that its just barley coming...

I'm basically writing everything that's coming into my head...
such as that last sentence :)

Okay, well I'm tired -____- & I want it to be summer !

Oh by the way .. EGYPT was amazing <3
Got to jump off the Nile River, experience going through pyramids, riding camels, horse carriages, boat rides, talks with my roomie alma, BARGAINED ! experience AMAZING sites, get a henna, meet many egyptians, temples, bus rides, meeting new people... It was sure GREAT.

I love & miss Christian Markley.

Big Brother @ heart.





JK19FourEVER (10:12:57 PM): i break their hearts hahs
bestjest91 (10:13:16 PM): thats my little sister.. break their hearts
bestjest91 (10:13:17 PM): hahaha
bestjest91 (10:15:02 PM): guys are jerks
bestjest91 (10:15:11 PM): your just one step ahead of the game my dear
bestjest91 (10:15:32 PM): it shows your maturity, and strength towards achieving greater independance
bestjest91 (10:18:16 PM): hahahahahah..... those guys are complete strugglers
bestjest91 (10:18:17 PM): my dear
You deserve no less. as do all women.
bestjest91 (10:20:38 PM): these guys dont have their minds, mouths, actions, and hearts co-enciding
bestjest91 (10:20:56 PM): whoops coinciding*
bestjest91 (10:42:47 PM): I guess as i come to a conclusion for this... what im trying to say is that there is no way you can get around guys comiing over to you and pretending like they love you even though they just want to get into your pants or something, But what it comes down to is the guy who is willing to earn your respect. By treating you properly, and not forcing a kiss on you, or even pretending to love you. I guess the only way to determine if he is pretending to love you is by his actions. How much of a classical romantic does he turn out to be. Is he willing to be kind and open to your thoughts and ideas.
bestjest91 (10:43:39 PM): A true gentleman in the fact of what YOU EXPECT A GENTLEMAN TO BE!
bestjest91 (10:43:45 PM): and shoot for no less
bestjest91 (10:44:18 PM): and when you find a guy who is willing and able without complant or harm to you.... to be that gentleman, then everything else will fall into place
bestjest91 (10:45:46 PM): as a genlteman his respect for you will make you feel respected and thus your relationship is a respectful one. And my little sister, understanding this, you will be able to feel in your heart whether he is right or wrong for you
bestjest91 (10:54:49 PM): thanks... i appreciate it, but i also think of your happiness
bestjest91 (10:56:46 PM): well i hope i've helped... and i know its a lot to think about which ill let you do on your own, but know that if you ever need someone to talk to im just a phone call or a click away to do my best to help you out.
bestjest91 (11:01:57 PM): bye, and stay strong... your brother

Talk About an Adventure

Talk about an Adventure.
Talk about a biochemistry project.
Talk about getting lost.
Talk about a Night.

These are the exact sentences we said on a wonderful
Saturday Night with friends :D


R A N D O M M U C H ?

Surprise ?!

Even when I thought my birthday was great, it just got even better :D

Confusion ? Excitement ? Afraid ? Shocked !
The feelings that I felt Friday, March 20th.
Words cannot express how truly AMAZING that day was !

Even if I enjoyed my birthday, it just just even better with the surprise party thrown by my family & friends.

A Day To Remember:
I've always wanted a surprise birthday party, and now I can say that I did recieve the BEST SURPRISE EVER !
After a tiresome day of school, I was not looking forward in doing service hours for GMH except for the fact that I was going to
have a day out with my bestfriends :D
When 7:OO hit, I was ready to have an "all nighter" with my friends as a mini_birthday celebration but boy was I wrong..

When Ronnel picked me up, Shalley & Ryna decided to blindfold me while driving to my "first destination"
Being confused ? Scared yet excited I decided to map the car's movements as Ronnel was driving .
But knowing that I have pretty smart friends, they threw me off as they went around Vons' parking lot twice, making me confused and dizzy. While walking blindfolded and screaming loudly as to where we are, I realized that we were at Vons as they opened my blindfold and bought me ice-cream. Still in confusion, and getting fed by my skittles, we were off to our next "second destination" .
From then on, I thought we were on our way to a restaurant but I was wrong !
I found myself standing in front of my house with all my loved ones yelling "SURPRISE !" and singing Happy Birthday !
As they once again pull down my blindfold !
Words cannot express how AMAZING that day came for me.

Thanks to all those who came to share this memorable occassion with me.
You are all the best and I love you all so dearly !
Thank you to my Mama, Papa, Kuya, Jason, and Kriselle, for the planning and work you've done to make this day unforgettable
Thanks to Ryna, Shalley, and Ronnel for all the wonderful gifts and surprises you all gave me and the ride too :)

IT SURE WAS THE BEST.

Lakers : Love Them Hate Them.

Lakers ; Lakers; Lakers !


One of first teams that basketball fans would cheer for.

Now I would have to admit that I was a Laker fan during the days Shaq, and Kobe were still teammates and I kinda still am since Clippers aren't really the team to root for especially when it comes to representing L.A :) But even though I really enjoy (sometimes) watching the Lakers play I really hate them as well. For what reason ?! For basically changing the attitudes and feelings of my brothers, boy friends and cousins.
Sure I know what it means to get into watching a game and how frustrating it is when they lose......
but you know what I HATE the most is when they take it out on you ! When they're whole game reflects the mood that they are in.
I know many of them are seriously LAKERS FANS and I respect that but honestly I hate how they're whole time, mood, feelings, are
based on their stupid games !

Going to parties and knowing that Lakers are playing, is NO FUN AT ALL ! especially hearing they're little commentaries how they want to go home just to watch. Yeah I get it, its a LAKER GAME and its a "LAKER FAN" thing. But seriously, you're stupid little mood swings from them losing a game is really frustrating ! Or how they are always such in a hurry because of them. Lakers isn't going anywhere and there are always replays !

Lakers; I have a love/hate type of feeling for them.

Lakers I love it when you win ; not because you are on your way to championships but its the only way to see my OLDER BROTHER IN A GOOD MOOD.

Happy Birthday

A place called Manzanar

Going to Manzanar was the highlight of the month of February.
It wasn't so much of the historical site but rather the five hour bus ride going there and back :)
Who knew that five hours can help you create such a bong with teachers, and new friends.

The junior class totally raided Carls Junior and Mc Donalds ;
But I bet the workers were sure happy since they made a lot of income from us .

I honeslty say that I expected more from visiting the site or Manzanar.
I really learned a lot about the unfair treatment the Japanese faced and the loss of freedom they encountered even as a U.S citizen
However, I just really wished that I would've been able to witness at least some of the remains of the camp instead of imagining it.

Overall, it sure was an exciting trip, seeing most of my friends get rolled over by tumble weeds..
And making stories with the teachers on the bus :)

Bus two rocks by the way ! hahahs :)

So much to say, but such little time..

LENT !
So I gave up myspace/facebook..
& yes I am surviving.
(So for those who are reading this.. that's pretty much the reason why I can't comment or put pictures up ..)
Sorry.

Anyways, Wow ! March is already here ! Woot woot :D
Almost time for my birthday ! Eww SEVENTEEN ! How old is that.

Giving up myspace/facebook reminded me of the old life I used to have;

When the internet was "nothing" to me and rarely did people heard of such a thing ..

Honestly, I really I'm glad I sacrificed it this easter forty days because

I was capable in accomplishing all the tasks I should've done a really long time

Such as,

Going out with the family, actually exercising Saturday mornings, and actually studying for the SATS !

Let's rewind time for a minute.....

Can you say CUEEEEEE !
I haven't been to cue in a really long time since Aida but then all of a sudden I've
been to cue almost every week ! Hahahas :D Yeaaaahh !
It sure is fun especially spending time with my siblings and friends.

But seriously, finding that place was CRAZY !
Whatevers, it still was worth it in the end.

_pictures coming soon.. after EASTER :)

Funny Monday :]

Oh Monday during choir was one of the funniest moments in my LACC life.
So I left school early to go catch the bus to Cerritos and that's when it all started.
Natalia and I just couldn't stop laughing at our little brothers !
Seriously, it was hilarious.. especially when we all started to play this mind game that made everyone nuts.

It took them so long even when we were doing it so obvious !
Hahahs :] "Hey Josiah who am I ?" Oh geez..
And then what really made me laugh was when Greg went on the bus looking so lost and confused ! :]
HAHAHA ! Oh geez you just had to be there at the right moment *wink*

Carol sister sure missed out on an actually fun Monday :]


I freaking love my little brothers.

He is going to change ?

Valentine's day was surely one of the most interesting days of my life.
Being with my family was more than enough to celebrate a wonderful Single Awareness Day !
We all got closer and planned the day as it went on...



He is going to change ?
Well, let's just wait & see if he keeps that promise.
Through all his mistakes and imperfections..
I still love him but hopefully that day made him realize the reality of
what I have been through..

Dear Lord,

I am so blessed in living a healthy and wonderful life for the past sixteen years of my life and I thank you so much for all that you have given me. You have guided and protected me since the first day I was born. You have blessed me with a loving family, a safe home, special talents, food, clothing, and opportunities and experiences that are unforgettable.It hurts to know that through all these wonderful gifts and blessings you have laid on me, I still have made many mistakes in my life that brought shame, sadness, and disappointment in you..

Through all the mistakes or sins I have committed all I want to truly say is that..

I am very sorry...

I am sorry for being lazy
I am sorry for having negative attitudes
I am sorry for lying
I am sorry for not being the greatest sister, daughter, friend..
I am sorry for hurting you
I am sorry for being impatient
I am sorry for EVERYTHING that I have done wrong.


Jesus, I love you so much & I am a turly sorry for all that I have done to have hurt you.
Life is going by and I know its going to end soon but I would like to say is that I am very very sorry..
And to all those who I might have hurt, hated, or envied,

I am sorry..

Let's Cruise

Driving with my kuya is the best :D
Self-explanatory...

Getting food, listening to music, Taking Videos

PIPPIN :D

First of all I would like to Congratulate the AMAZING cast of Pippin for making another unforgettable St. Francis production.Time went by so fast and it barely feels like we just started rehearsing and here we are at the end of the road.

Pippin sure was magic :]
Made a lot of new friends, created a spectacular show, and began another start of a new family.

I love you all & thanks so much for all the memories & laughs
Credits though to the CLIQUE

Theater Life.

Theater Life...

So I haven't written blog for a long time so might as well go ahead since I'm done with finals & I'm basically doing a production in SFHS :]

When I first watched my older brother's first production at Sfhs "Footloose", I fell in love. It was as if I wasn't watching a "high school production" but rather a professional theater cast up on stage. My first thoughts were "Boy, I'm soo joining in when I get into high school" & thank God I did.


My first production was Aida & the cast was just super amazing ! Seriously, I felt as if I knew them my whole life..

We pretty much just CLICKED the first time we all met :D
I never had strange feeling being around them since I was the only new girl there..
I felt as if they were my FAMILY , which in fact they so are <3

& sure doing Pippin isn't really the same..
But hey I love the cast too :]
Especially our group table.
The Best.

Catching My Breath.

Wow. The year just started & I never realized what a busy girl I am.
Seriously, after school I'm always up & about !
My schedule is just always so full that I am sometimes unaware in what I am doing
& the other responsibilities & duties I still have to accomplish.

For the past few weeks I never really gotten the chance to catch my breath & make time for myself.
I'm always going to practices for choir or Pippin, Ambassadors for school, doing service hrs, or even doing homework..
And sadly through all the hustle & bustle I seem to forget the other people in my life..
I rarely get the chance to catch up with my friends now a days, care to talk to my siblings and my parents about life, etc.

Even though I enjoy doing extra curricular activities
I sometimes feel left out in doing things that some teenagers experienced that I sadly haven't..
Such as s'mores, getting my permit, sleepovers, hanging out, relaxing, etc.

But through all these activities, I tend to forget how much my parents are sacrificing for me.
They have done so much just to make me happy & enjoy life & I'm really thankful for that.
So, who cares about thethings that I haven't done before, just be grateful in what life you have at this moment.

2009 !
