No. The title does not have anything to do with this post. I just ran out of what to think of.

Tomorrow will be the CEAL Youth Camp. So I won't post tomorrow. =)) And I`m not expecting to have much fun. Because.. Err. Damn. Something. Yes. Some people know why and If you do, PLEASE DON`T POST IT OR YOU`LL GO ROT.

Today was BORING.
I have a strained muscle, so I can't move my right arm well.
Yes.

I miss you.

Err, this is an essay I wrote. It's not my best, and I know Ador will have alot to say about this. Err..So read.

If you don’t dream big, what’s the use of dreaming? This line is from a song, which was composed for David Cook, American Idol Season 7 winner. This song probably was written for everybody who dreams to succeed in life. Success, which could be one of the most overused words in the dictionary, does not only refer to the big-time achievements that only some of the world’s luckiest people can feel. This also could also mean the simple joys one feels when he gets better grades in his report card, or getting money as a reward for cleaning the whole house. Anywhere we go; success can come in different forms, causing us to be happy with our lives.


Upon hearing the quote, If you can dream it, you can achieve it, I became nostalgic and remembered all the times I would test my skills and abilities. All my life, I have experienced being sent to different contests, seminars and workshops. Many times, I have succeeded while others, I haven’t. Ever since my grade school life, that has been the routine--- every school year, I would be sent to at least two or three contests.


Not to brag, but I had my share of successes and achievements in my lifetime. However, I firmly believe that the quote is not true. Yes, we may dream all we want. We may imagine ourselves going up the stage, receiving a medal and maybe qualifying for national competitions. However, reality finds its way to pull us down and slap us in the face. If you are not good enough, you cannot make it. No matter how big we dream, reality is still there.


But this does not mean that we should stop dreaming. Dreams are there for a purpose. Dreaming is made to put us on the right track towards success. Dreaming situates our mindset into thinking that we are capable of victory. Dreaming is there to guide us into reaching our goals. Some of us just do not have the strength to show our potential. Nothing is there to motivate us to use our potential to the fullest.


There are also people, however, they dream to reach their goals, but they are just not tough enough. This is where reality kicks in. Yes, they may have all the dreams and beliefs they have. They may have the confidence to face whatever would happen. But if they do not have any abilities at all, their dreams are put to waste. But though reality has hit the dreamer, still, the dreamer finds ways to continue reaching his goal.


Dreaming and believing is not a surefire way to success. Yet, dreaming and believing is essential in goal-setting. A person should still rely on what they have. Too much of dreaming will hurt you. We should dream big for us to be motivated, but at the same time, we should train our abilities. In the end, what we have as our weapons to success will always be better that wishing, dreaming and believing for success.


And that’s the reality.

Yeah. I know that's true. But does it have to be that often?
I`m sure you don`t get what I mean, you`re not in my shoes right now.

So, here's the sitch. Some people, coincidentally, seem like crap. It's like you feel good when you communicate with them, well that was way before.

I`m going to cite some examples. :)
No namedropping, it`s bad.

There's this person. Yes, we are still close, I guess. But lately, this person has been making very shallow decisions. This person is not taking life seriously, except when it comes to love. Darn. It really changed this person, in a terrible way. It is in that person's nature to be a lover. But sometimes, it goes overboard. :|

Second example. Also related to love. (Darn loveeee.) Fickle-mindedness. :| Can't choose which guy. Therefore isolating her from the world. Her drama is too much that she stays away from the group and goes to other people who are so the opposites of us. And she just goes to us when she needs help. THE TERM IS LEECH. (Thanks. You know who coined this term. :) )

Third example. This time, it`s because of choices. We choose who to be with. And we choose who to love and we also choose who to communicate with. But it doesn't mean that the past should be forgotten. People have bonds wherever they go and breaking it and acting as if nothing ever happened is a big slap on the face. And what's worse, is that acting as if nothing ever happened between us. JERK. JERK. JERK.

Fourth. The person who changed because that person's so effing madly in love with a guy. :| :)) No, I am not jealous and No, I do not like you. It's obvious you changed. From the times that you'd say you don't really give a damn with what would happen to the times that you want to give up because of problems and to the times that you'd be so effing weak. Ugh. :|

Fifth, the person who in other people's eyes had changed, but to me, nothing really has changed. Maybe for the fact that you've been hurting people close to me. :| I`m just anticipating that I'm next.

Well, in reality. There are probably two reasons why people change. One is because of environment and how weak they are against it, or second, BECAUSE OF OTHER PEOPLE WHO THEY THINK WILL BENEFIT THEIR LIVES BUT IN REALITY JUST MAKE THEM WORSE. But it depends. People will change. We will get used to it. But please, don`t change for the worse.

JERKS.

I now know why I`ve been Sports Editor for three years. It`s because I`m not lazy when it comes to Sports Games. =))))

Well, I had to cover two games today for the school paper. :) And no, it was not easy. But it was so fun. I went to the grotto near the Cathedral at around 9am to meet up with Chiara and we walked all the way to Kim's house to fetch her. So we went to Albay Bakery, where Kimmai lives. Trisha came also and we went to the Astrodome.

AND IT TOOK SO LONG BEFORE THE GAME STARTED.
THE SCHEDULED GAME WAS AT 10. It started 12. :|

But I had so much fun watching the other teams. =))

So the girls game started. :)) AND DAMN, WE WERE SO NOISY, Screaming. =))))) Yes. Lahat na tao kumampi sa Daraga Nat'l HS. :)) Sus, away na! :))

But we won, 25-14, 25-11.
And yes, KIMIX PLAYED. :)

The afternoon also paved way for another game. :))
I went to the Astro at exactly 4pm. And I literally ran to avoid being late. :))
I had to cover it eh.

So the boys game was rough. :)) And yes, we shouted again. =))
Johann, shiiiiit. :)) She's the best. =))))

And we won, barely. :)) 25-22, 25-19. :D
Some special moments of the day. :)

1. Kimix going to the GRIPZ present and saying "Since when were you interested in Sports?"
2. The fattie from St. Benedict's Academy. =)) And their "meh." gameplay.
3. Photo-ops at the back of the Astrodome
4. The nonstop shouting ng "WARA (in tagalog, wala)", distracting the other teams
5. Kimix playing. :D
6. The cozy afternoon nap. :D
7. Me running from La mia to the Astrodome
8. Coach tearing Kimix's banner. =))))))
9. The boys winning.
10. :">

Well. That's the life of a Sports Writer. :))
And suddenly, I'm considering if I will try out for Varsity. No kidding here. :)

Nothing bad happened today, honestly. :D
And that`s why I`m blogging. ;D

Now, take care. :D
-Rod

The game ended. 77-31 in favor of SAA over SRA. :))

Tope and Rard had 15 each.

Ninz had 11 pts and 15 rebs. UUY. BEA. :))

Well. I`m tired.
And I`m going to the CEAL Youth Camp.

Today was one hell of a day. :))
What a way to start the week. :D

Warning, this will be quite long. :)

So I`ll start this, EARLY MORNING.
Turns out, some of my friends slept super late. Some at around 2, some at 4 and 5. So I would wake up every now and then, as usual.

But I woke up at around 2:45 because I heard my brother go inside the room and both my parents were up. So I got up and I asked what was all the commotion. Damn it. METEOR SHOWER. :| They woke up to see stars. :)))

Okay. My sleep was so interrupted last night. I dunno why. I just could not sleep well. It's like you know you're awake but you feel you're asleep at the same time or some weird feeling.

OKAY, MOVING ON. :)
So I got up, finally at around 6, and took a bath. And ate, slowly again and rushed to school. I brought my guitar this morning for something later on.

I entered class and started to rehearse for the Talent show, later in the day, not knowing what to play. And this is where all the fun starts.

The bell rings. No teacher at all.
10 minutes after the Morning Praise, still no teacher.
Where is Mrs. Baldon? We have two periods with her.
Another 5 minutes pass, Mrs. Garcia enters. MRS BALDON IS STILL ABSENT. I dunno why.

So there was the presentation of the Story Galleries of Our Lady's Juggler, The Necklace and My Grandfather's Birthday Present. :) Well, I couldn`t say less.

Second Period, Miss Amy takes over. :) Still no Mrs. Baldon, so she gave us FREE TIME. :)

Recess and still, the day was good.
Chemistry passed. I had to answer 59 frigging questions in two hours. My brain bled. :)) I hate words. :)) I`m used to symbols and numbers. :))

The afternoon is K. :))
Math, No comment. Just a normal day. :)

Social Studies, this was the TALENTado Show as an activity in relation to the Renaissance. HAHA. I hosted. That was my talent already. :)) Kidding. I played guitar also. =)) As for what else transpired, THAT`S MY SECRET. :D

Computer and Fil, K. :)

AFTER CLASSES: KIMIX TREATED US TO SMALLTALK. AND I`m SOOOO FULL. :)

Okay. I got bored.
And yes. :)) MAY ALAM AKO. =))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))

I couldn`t open my friendster last night. When I opened it today.

I only have 29 friends left. :| @-)

I dunno what`s wrong with friendster right now. :)) Actually, I just open it to view updates and to stalk on some people. :> :> :>

Well, IF Friendster gets fixed, I might use it again. If not, oh damn. :)) There goes a bunch of memories. :>

I`m bored.
KTHXBAI.

I dunno why, but I have been getting these serious moodswings. :| It started after the "sembreak" where I have been so frigging mean to everyone. I`ve been saying harsh comments about anyone bluntly. :|

Then there comes the rainstorm of projects. :|

There`s one project I`m happy about though. It`s the CLASS PAPER. :) I`m ed-in-chief of one of the two papers and as of now, I`ve been very ambitious.

Well, I`m not yet that happy about my grades. :| I`m so disappointed. What made it worse was the fact that the contests I joined where not included in the ECA computation, which made me 4th, still. :| Korina and Kim boosted up to 1st and 2nd respectively, Auds and Myrnel dropped to 3rd and 5th. :| Damn it. I hope in the last quarter, I`ll have credit for my contests and hardwork. :| If not, I just wasted alot of training days.

Okay, Si Bea and Nino na. :)) Hindi na raw NBSB ni Bea.
Ako, paano na lovelife ko? =)))) Kidding. :D

And i`m off.
Comments. :>
-Rod

So. I got my grades kahapon. :|
Tumaas ang average ko. it`s now 92.2000 :)

But. Bumaba naman ako sa rankings. :|
Darn it.
-Rod

And I`m not sure it`s a really good thing. :|
My teeth hurt. :|

I just came from the dentist again today. And he told me, that I`mma have my braces back. One tooth moved upward. Apparently it was too weak. :| :| :|

Now, I`mma look weird. I have retainers up there, and braces down there. So it looks weird. It`s gonna be back on Friday. :|

I hate this week. Seriously. My head`s been hurting LIKE HELL. :| :| :|

And to Ate Jaze, i hope you read this. Tell your mom about my braces. Thanks. :)

-Rod

HAHA. So from October 25 until today.. THIS IS SUPPOSED TO BE MY SEMBREAK.

Well, I anticipated that I would not have a sembreak the moment I knew that I was in the RSPC. It would cost three days.

Lets have a rundown. :)

October 25- I was at school, working on the school paper and pretty much worked ALOT.

October 26- I had a training for the RSPC.

October 27-29 RSSPC. You know the story.

October 30-31 Padunungan.

And yesterday, I was out the whole day.
And today`s my first day of sembreak. YAY ME.

But I`m still not ready for school. :|
And I realized, NO MORE STRESS... for now.

Okaaay. I`m ranting again.
KTHXBAI.

-rod

Here's the conclusion of my second trilogy. :)

So there we were. It was the day, we made it to the finals. Therese, Anna and I were getting ready. We studied far away in Aquinas. Unfortunately, we missed the Impromptu Contest because we were too busy studying.

Miss Rejuso came to teach us some physics. And I realized, I`m good at guessing. :| :))

Before the contest, I was talking with the Seniors and they told me ALOT. :| I got even more nervous. But determined at the same time.

Contest proper: Everything fell apart. Oh well. At least, we got 4th. :)

Then it was the cultural night later, performances were Meh.

Haha. I don`t wanna elaborate. And the experience was AWESOME. Somebody just ruined my night.


That`s all.
Btw, KUYA RAE MARK IS AWESOME. :))
