After How Many Months.

2008-02-07T22:46:00.000-08:00

Okay, it's been a reaaaaaaaaaaaaally long time since I haven't posted here. I have loads to tell - the Christmas party, the graduation picture, my new music faves and tons of others.

I've divided everything I'm talking about here by topic to be more organized. New change.

~ Music ~

There are over 30 songs in my Limewire playlist. Gonna add later. Right now, my LSS is Taylor's Swift's "Teardrops on my Guitar". So touching and inspirational. Also "Swing Swing" by The All-American Rejects and "Hero / Heroine" by my newest favorite band, Boys Like Girls. I'm really a certified music lover now. (Okay, maybe ever since before.) Whenever I watch movies of anything on TV, I check out the music the second most after the actors playing the characters. I'm weird, aren't I? Nah, it's just part of puberty. At least I think it is.

Here's the lyrics of Hero / Heroine. This is my favorite song as of now.

It's too late baby, there's no turning around
I've got my hands in my pocket and my head in a cloud
This is how I do when I think about you
I never thought that you could break me apart
I keep a sinister smile and a hold of my heart
You want to get inside
Then you can get in line
But not this time

'Cause you caught me off guard
Now I'm running and screaming

I feel like a hero and you are my heroine

I won't try to philosophize
I'll just take a deep breath and I'll look in your eyes
This is how I feel and it's so surreal
I got a closet filled up to the brim
With the ghosts of my past and the skeletons
And I don't know why
You'd even try
But I won't lie

You caught me off guard
Now I'm running and screaming

I feel like a hero and you are my heroine
Do you know that your love is the sweetest sin?

And I feel a weakness coming on
Never felt so good to be so wrong
Had my heart on lockdown
And then you turned me around
And I'm feeling like a new born child
Every time I get a chance to see you smile
It's not complicated
I was so jaded

And you caught me off guard
Now I'm running and screaming

I feel like a hero and you are my heroine
Do you know that your love is the sweetest sin?

(I feel like a hero and you are my heroine)
And I feel a weakness coming on
Never felt so good to be so wrong
Had my heart on lockdown
And then you turned me around
(Do you know that your love is the sweetest sin?)
And I'm feeling like a new born child
Every time I get a chance to see you smile
It's not complicated
I was so jaded (2x)

It may have the shortest chorus, but it sounds so meaningful.

One of the most popular songs in our class today is "Crank Dat Soulja Boi." Yeah, it's so kaadik.

~ Movies ~

No clue what's my favorite movie now. But I've watched a ton of movies during the time I didn't post here. Okay, maybe not a ton, but some.

Enchanted (This was so funny and great!)

Zathura: A Space Adventure (So interesting! Josh Hutcherson looks so cute!)

Happy Feet (A cute penguin movie!)

Bring It On 3: All or Nothing (One of my favorite cheerleader movies!)

RV (A hilarious family movie!)

High School Musical 2: Sing It All Or Nothing (This is such a wonderful Part 2 of HSM 1.)

Star Wars III: Revenge of the Sith (I'm a Star Wars addict already!)

And I forgot the others.

I have one thing to say about movies. Thank God for HBO! (Home Box Office, not Hyper Body Odor. LOL, learned that from my classmates.)

I can't believe that until now, our DVD player is broken. Arghhhh! How am I going to play my favorite DVDs? Darn it.

Here are the movies I wish I had the DVD of.

The Golden Compass (Even if it's anti-Christ. I'm focusing on the plot, not the anti-Christ stuff.)

Enchanted

Transformers

Star Wars I, IV, V and VI

Yours, Mine and Ours

And a whole lotta more.

Part 2 Later posted.

XOXO, Veronica

After 2 weeks.

2007-11-14T00:30:00.000-08:00

Okay, sorry for not posting here in the past two weeks. Kinda busy.

Oh yeah, the Avril pic, I put it there, cause I'm really addicted to her right now.

School has started a week ago. I was so excited to see my friends again. (Duh.) Anyway, nothing much has changed since I left school. I had Joshua as my main seatmate and Mary Camille as my other seatmate.

I missed a LOT. My class was already discussing about ratio and proportion. Yeah, I do know what do they mean, but they were getting to the deeper bottom of the subject. Arghz. And I had to do ALL quizzes, seatworks and other eckecks.

This week was again, our test week. :P You know, I didn't really study that much. And I didn't know much terms, so i had to "cheat" off someone else's notes. But it turns out that Filipino and Science weren' much hard. But Math was. Well, 25%. I wasn't done with it. Can anyone, please explain further information about the partitive proportion?

Oh yeah, our teacher said to make anti-drug banners. Lemme tell you the whole story.

"Make your banners, due on Friday." Ma'am said. I shrugged and looked at my seatmate. "Come on. We do this, like, every year." I said to him. "And yeah, right, we see almost the same people!" "Well, this year's gotta be different than the past years'." I sighed and looked at my own desk. Joshua only cared about himself.

I did one when it was Thursday evening. (Yeah, I'm a cramming princess.) I found one on the 'Net saying, "Don't be thugs, down with drugs!" Wahehe. From the start I knew this was gonna be the one.

Okay, decorate, decorate and DECORATE. It looked kinda okay. I was just too tamad to color already, cause the clock was already pointing to its finger at 11. Now this is the bummer part. The next day, in school, I left my banner near my "locker". When I picked it up at dismissal, dan-dan-DAN! I saw a shoeprint! Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!! And it was covering the words part! "Joshua!!!!" I called him. "You did this, didn't you?" "Why should I? I didn't even know it was yours, you hot-tempered lady!" was his only reply. Then I left and headed straight to our tambayan. I had to make another one. Major crisis.

Okay, I made a new one, but this time, it's improved and better. I used the computer kasi eh. I typed in....

~~~ TBC (To Be Continued...) ~~~

Currently Addicted To:

Unfaithful: Rihanna
He Wasn't: Avril Lavigne
But It's Better If You Do: Panic! at the Disco
The Take Over, The Breaks Over: Fall Out Boy

XOXO, Veronica

My Start of November.

2007-11-01T20:47:00.000-07:00

Okay, I'm so not in the house, and this was also posted as my "status" in YM. So, where am I? I'm in my aunt's, because my Mom forced me and my sis to stay here for a while. Okay, we had to force ourselves too.

So, we got here yesterday, and my cousin who came with us headed for the computer. He was a boy, so we had different likes on the PC. He downloaded RAN or whatever that was and chatted with his sister, my fave cuz. Then came the non-stop soundtripping. He played his faves first, then gave me the PC at last. I tried TG and W.I.T.C.H., but they wouldn't work! Arghz. I don't like KHQ, so I went to TeenTalk or the Candy forum, while playing my faves. I gotta tell you, I played a LOT. Panic! at the Disco, The Click Five, Ashley Tisdale, Vanessa Hudgens, JoJo, Avril Lavigne... Hay.

I can't wait to go back home. Miss ko na talaga si Ma and Julia. Wonder what they're doing.

Okay, wala na akong ma-type, sorry.

Byezz!

XOXO, Veronica

A Feeling of Freedom.

2007-10-31T04:50:00.000-07:00

Heya, we went to the mall earlier. Ops, lemme start from the top.

Okay, Mom scheduled a check-up with my doctor (the one I met when I had dengue) today. I had my uncle bringing me to where she works. Then we went straight to the clinic.

The checkup was fine. Same stuff: Eat well, bed rest, don't make yourself feel too tired, take vitamins and all that. It was kinda boring, since all I had to do was follow the doctor and stare at the bulletin board full of baby pictures. Probably her kid.

So, we got out and Mom said we'd head for Robinson's. Yay, we'd go to a mall! She wanted to buy a pair of new Havaianas for us, some stuff, and early birthday gifts for the kids. (My sisters' birthdays are celebrated during November.)

We went to Rustan's and found the Havaianas mini store. There was a bunch of slippers, from size 35 and above, facing apart the Crocs slippers. Mom chose two Havaianas High (or heels) for me, and I both tried them on. They were 99.9% the same, and the only difference was the design. The white one had flowers while the purple one had butterflies. I wanted to buy the white one, but Mom said there were tons of others.

And in the end, I bought non-flats, instead they were labeled as Havaianas Flash. They were green (my fave color!), with yellow flowers and green details. So kawaii! (In Japanese, it means cute.) My mom got the same too, only blue.

We ate in KFC afterwards. Mom said there were no original recipes, so I just forced myself to take the Hot and Spicy. Argh. As you know, spicy things bug me.

I took about 29 or 30 bites, then I gave up. "Ma, ang anghang. Ayoko na! Sa 'yo na lang 'to." Eventually, my mom ate again, and she said for me to make "ulam-ulam" (LOL, I'm not super duper good in Tagalog.) the fun shots. Okay, at least they're not spicy. For dessert, I ate mashed potato and drank my Sprite. Hmmm. Still hungry. But I didn't mind.

Next, Mom told me about my sis' birthday gifts. They said, they wanted sunglasses, so it shall be granted. Since they're just kids, they want those with the Princess designs. Okay, since they're little girls.

While waiting, Mom allowed me to wander around, but I made sure I wasn't lost. I went to this magazine section and looked for the latest ish of Candy. (Many apologies, but I don't collect TG anymore.) And thank God, I found it. But bad news, Zac Efron was on the cover. Man, I hate him! But good news: Mom allowed be to buy the mag.

Then we bought the glasses and cased them inside tin cans. The clerks gift-wrapped them, and I asked my mom if we could visit the CD store, cause I had to look for the latest The Click Five and Avril Lavigne CDs. Okay, but we had to visit the Havaianas rack again. Hayyyy...

Okay, after that Havaianas madness, we went to AstroVision and I kept searching for The Best Damn Thing and Modern Minds and Pastimes and never seemed to stop. I found MMaP first, then I saw it costed P400. Wow, I still had to wait when my allowance would come. Then after 2 minutes, I saw TBDT. P375. Again, I had to earn a lot. Plus I saw this black jacket with purple designs... So cute talaga! It was P250. Great. I'll cut off my after-school spending already. Palibre na lang. Haha.

Then I told my mom I was tired, and so was she. We went home through jeepney (There weren't much taxis in sight.) and I almost slept. Grr.

I turned kinda emo and boy crazy during the long jeep ride. There was this kinda cute guy kasi eh. He looked like he was 13. Too bad he was at the end, I couldn't see him that much. Arghz. And for the emo part, I heard Wake Me Up When September Ends by Greenday. Awtz.

We got home and surprised the kids. They were happy. Good.

Yun muna.

Byezz!

XOXO, Veronica

Uhh.... No title for now.

I'm really having fun with it! Like the French translation for "I'm turning crazy!" is "Je tourne fou!" The Spanish way of saying "You look like a monkey." is "Pareces un mono." So neat and kawaii!

Hey, I think I've got craving for ice cream this season. Tired of cake. I lurve the caramel sundae in McDonald's. So creamy and delicious!! And I'm asking Mom is we can buy a gallon (or two, LOL!) of Brazo de Mercedes ice cream. Yummy-ness. Yeah, right, I miss the ice cream machine in school. I wonder what's the flavor today if we had classes... *drifting off in a dream*

Well, that's pretty it for now.

Byezz!

Okay, next time for the other descriptions and things about myself. Let's tackle about my life now.

Last last week, I had dengue fever and was admitted to the hospital. Shocking, isn' it? But now, I'm in the house now. Good. I missed the computer. A LOT. Hehe, I just couldn't last a day without it.

Now this week it was Sem Break. Yippee! I'm really, really lucky cause I had three weeks of vacation, unlike the others! Wahehe. But I missed a lot, awtz. I can't wait the look on my face when my teacher gives away a pop quiz and I don't know what to answer.

But look on the bright side. Freedom is there. I get to watch my fave shows during noontime, get to sleep late and wake up late, face the computer all day and talk with Camille on the phone for non-stop. Oh yeah, Mom said we're going somewhere tomorrow. Hopefully it's the mall!

Kinda tired now. I might post later again, or tomorrow.

Byezz!!

XOXO, Veronica
