Catching up

Now I'm all again no one to turn no where to go to,

without a home without a friend without a face to say hello to

Now the night is near, Now I can make believe he's here

I haven't posted in a while. So I decided to make a post on what I did for the week. You see, I have this planner and I write things that happened in a particular day. :)

Let's get started then, shall we? 

April 1, 2013. Monday:

Aha! April Fool's day. The classic. Someone plays a prank on others and others punch their faces because of it. Here in the Philippines the pranks are subtle. No acid in pools, or getting clothes in gym lockers and no clown noes. No, in the Philippines the pranks are just calm. For example, I woke up with a text from my friend Franz. Franz and I share each other's secrets. She texted me "Kami na" (We're a couple now). Of course knowing who her crush is, I flipped out. As gullible as I am I believed her. I texted her back that I was extremely happy for them. I texted her in a typical excited way, you know, with all caps, infinite exclamation points, and all that junk. Suddenly it was just a prank. Apparently, I was the first person who she played a prank with. I was kinda stupid for believing it, but if your friend would be in a relationship with her crush, wouldn't you be excited for them? 

I went out off bed and ate breakfast. I started to take a shower. I put on a tank top from Forever 21 and my awesome pants that my mum bought for me. I picked up a denim polo to put over. I wasn't sure if my school would let anyone in. Usually they have this rule that we can't wear shorts nor tank tops inside the school.

I went to the car and my dad drove me to school. (Elizabeth Seton School) I was excited to meet my friends. Especially Rannielle. I wanted to tell her the thing I have for "the guy". Rannielle is one of my closest friends in Magui. She's part of our group called B.R.O. which consists of Bettina, Rannielle, Rovelyn and me. I got upset when I got a text from her saying that she's not able to come to school. Dad dropped me off by the gate. I saw a lot of students that are wearing shorts and tank tops. It actually made me upset. It sucked really. The weather was infuriating! The heat really got to me. The thing is, I wasn't really confident in wearing a tank top in front of faces that I know. I was still this insecure girl.

I went over to the faculty area to get my report card. I got my card and was disappointed with the results. I wish my grades were a prank. It was low. Then I saw Rannielle with Camille laughing like idiots. I slapped her silly. Rannielle screamed at the top of her lungs "APRIL FOOL'S!!" Here I go again, stupid gullible me. Even Camille was in it! I then saw Franz with Winona. (as usual) Winona's one of Franz's best friends. Though Camille would always be her number one best friend. Though I never really understood the point of ranking your friends. Just saying. 

I seriously can't stand the heat and decided to take off the polo and let myself free. It wasn't that bad. People actually complimented me. 

(Sorry for the photo. Ugh, electric fan shadow.)

Then we saw Rovelyn, which we thought wasn't gonna show. She was wearing shorts and a hand-me-down tee. She laughed her ass off when she saw us. 

I was with Rovey and Rannielle the whole time. I told them about "the guy" and they just smiled and nodded. I then saw Angelica, whom I've been talking to about everything these past few days. I just greeted her and got back with Rovey and Rannielle. 

We decided to go for milk tea. We told the others that we were going to Tea Spot. Camille wanted to go with. She was in a hurry because she knew that she has to go to CSB for her enrollment. Franz didn't want Camille to go. She forced her to stay with them and complete their requirements. We just walked away but also looking back. We went out and crossed. We see that Tea Spot was closed. We decided to go to 7-eleven and check the shit there. The slurpee machine was broken. Then we went to True Blends, hoping that they're open. But no. We ran out of hope and we went to Bon AppeTEA. Good thing it was opened. We saw Camille there and joined her. We finally got our milk tea. Apparently Camille walked away from the others and got milk tea. Rannielle explained to her that she was going to CSB as well. But not on that day, she'll be going the next day. She asked if she could go with her instead. Camille had to think about it. 

The others caught up in Bonap and chatted with us. After everything's done, we went back to the school. Camille had to go home. She will be texting us when she'll be following us to Rannielle's house. We sat by the waiting area and just chatted with the rest of Magui. 

I had an idea to get souvenirs from the school, which I'm not gonna tell cause I might get in trouble.  

Rovey, Rannielle, Franz and I went to Outbox to have some lunch. It was my first time to eat rice for days! Franz was having a problem which she had to call Cesar over. Smelling a hint of smoke, Cesar came. We all went to Rannielle's house together. Camille then caught up with us. It was a long day, but we had a great time. Some drama happened, but it all went away. 

This day was long, but it was awesome! 

April 2, 2013. Tuesday:

Today was the birthday of my grandmother and my Tropang Paraiso friend. Tropang Paraiso is a group of friends who used to lived in the same street called "Paradise" Hence, their group name. They were my best friends since childhood. 

Firstly I went to my grandma's house. My best friend Melrose was there with her little sister, Rommelyn. We bonded and watched Hugo and Final Destination 5. It was hell of fun! 

I then walked to Paradise street and went in Tash's house. I greeted her happy birthday. We waited for the others. Unfortunately, Sofia and Stef wasn't able to come because of they had classes. Selene and Simon was able to come. My brother went late. Selene, Simon, Famae, Tash and I watched The Simpson's Movie and What Happens in Vegas. We got bored and went upstairs and played card games. It was fun. Seriously. But then Famae showed up with bags she was selling. She has this shop called Time-Lined. They sell great bags! Selene then modeled and made a fun of herself. It was flipping hilarious! We couldn't stop laughing! Aaaaand, they had these little puppies!! Just the cutest! Holly and Summer! And they peed on the bed. =))))

April 3, 2013. Wednesday:

Boring day. Did nothing all day. :)

April 4, 2013. Thursday: 

I was home alone this day. I had a movie marathon by myself. I didn't use the laptop because I was scared that he might not reply. And yes, I've been chatting with him. But yeah yeah. 

I then got my board and just hung out with it. I guess I should name my board... Hmm... I wanna name it Tyrone. Yes. Okay, my board's name is Tyrone. Perfect. 

I was singing On My Own. But then mum heard me when she arrived and made me sing more. And yes, I felt like a star. She made me sing a lot. And my throat didn't hurt at all. It was weird for me. When I sing, I usually feel pain. But I didn't today. I felt like I could be a Broadway star. I thought it was impossible, but then this voice came. It actually blew me away. 

April 5, 2013. Friday: 

I sang all day. Dad told me I had a voice for theatre! And that's from dad! Mum's sorta tone deaf, but my dad's a singer! This really made me smile. 

And here's a bummer. I told "the guy" that I'll be going to where he's living this summer. Of course for a vacation. I was taking a chance. He never replied again.
