A Problem Aroused

Sunday, January 31, was the blessing of our Lying-In clinic. My mother instructed me not to go to the practice of Saliw in school, instead, help in the preparation for the blessing. Of course, I cannot go to school or go somewhere else without my parent's permission so I just stayed and helped in. I transferred many things from our house to the clinic. I did it alone because I was the only male who was around. My brother was in our cousin's house and he was not yet going home because maybe he was still sleeping by that time because it was only about 6:00 to 6:30 in the morning that time. My father was in church that time. He was serving as a Lay Minister then he goes to different barangays to lead the mass. This means, I have to do everything that has to be done. The most difficult thing I did was to carry four whole watermelons and bring it to the clinic. I picked up the watermelons to its dealer. I think the distance from the watermelon dealer from our clinic was about on kilometer so I carried all four watermelons going to our clinic with no one helping me. I was really tired that day but it was OK because I understand why I was doing that. This week, a problem aroused. The problem was about our play. Our lead actress, Mizpah, accepted an offer to join the Jazz Chant and the class agreed to change the actress for the role of Giselle, the lead character. It was decided that Ariane will act as Giselle. Then, we discovered that Mizpah was rejected from the Jazz Chanters because of her movement. Now, because Ariane already accepted the role, we just continued to make the play with Ariane as Giselle. Mizpah's father went to school and they said that Mizpah cried because of that replacement so Ma'am Mae had to talk to us because she is concerned to this matter because we are talking of the play which was a requirement for her subject. We made sure that we fixed the problem with ourselves so we said sorry to Mizpah for the wrong things we have done. I really hope the play is going to go well.

Still Ordinary...

This week, nothing much special happened to me. Sunday, as usual, I went to school because we are going to have our practice again. This practice is for the Saliw Dance Concert. All of us are working hard to make that concert a great success.This day, I only practiced for the first half of the day. I did this because I still have many things to do like assignments and projects. When I was in the jeepney, two of my co-Saliw members rode the jeepney. These two were Jules from 2-H (I think) and Maryel from 2-N. I was laughing at two people who rode the jeepney as well. I think those two were gays. Maryel also saw them and we were laughing but we were just communicating through cellphone because the two might hear what we were talking about. The next days, it was still ordinary. Assignments, seatworks, and a lot of studying. The only time I enjoy is our English time. This is because I enjoy practicing for our play. I think all of us are really having fun while we are rehearsing for our play. Saturday, we had the last Saturday class so I was so happy for that. This week was not that special for me.

Whole Week in School

Sunday this week, I went to the practice of SALIW at school. I went there with Lance. We saw Patricia Tiongco, a second year student from the Nitrogen class, at the bus. She was also heading to school because she is also a SALIW member and not only a member, she is one of the officers. We three were the earliest to arrive in school and we thought we are already going to be late that morning but we were wrong. Soon, the others arrived and we started warming up and then we practiced the Street Dance. I am having a hard time memorizing all those steps being taught to us. Good thing Patty, the one who teaches us, is patient in teaching us those steps. I only practiced for the first half of the day. The rest of the day, I was doing my assignments and projects. The next day, I and my service mates were late for the flag ceremony but we were not the only ones who were late. There were very many late students like us. Sir Tom instructed us to make a promissory note that we will not be late anymore. A funny thing happened when I was writing the letter. Ma'am Arceo, our adviser, arrived and was looking on the faces of the late students. She saw Chelzza, Vhil, and Lance who hid near the vehicles but she didn't see me even I am just in front of her writing the note. I was laughing because of that. After writing the letter, we had our own flag ceremony in front of the flag. It was lead by my service mate, Ronnel Papa. After our flag ceremony, we went to the gym to have a mass from Sir Tom. (It is not really a mass. I just said it was a mass because Sir Tom gave us sermons.) After that, we went back to our classroom but we were absent for the first subject which is MATH. The next days, were ordinary days for me. Saturday came and honestly, I brought my cellphone with me because I thought that we will not have ordinary classes that day. We also had the Career Orientation that day. This whole week, I spent most of my time in school. I can really say that it is hard to be a student of this school but I will still stay as long as I can.

Birthdays, PTs, Clean-ups, and Saturday Classes

This week, our teachers were saying the announcements for the Saturday class. They said that the days for taking the Periodic Tests were Friday and Saturday, then it was moved to Thursday and Friday. They also told us that we will wear the Type C clothing and I planned to wear my Marc Ecko shoe but they also changed what they said and told us that we have to wear our school uniform. Thursday, it was the first day of our taking of the Periodic Tests in Math, English, Filipino, and Advanced Statistics. Among these four subjects, I only reviewed English and Advanced Statistics because we need to memorize parts of the Divine Comedy in English and we need to memorize formulas for Advanced Statistics. After taking the exams, we went to Joshua Quinto's house because he invited us to go there because it was his birthday. We ate there and after we eat, we went home because I still need to make my mask and review. When I reached home, I immediately did the designs for my mask up to about 7:00 pm. I was not able to review for that night because I slept early. Early the next day, I reviewed for my AP exam because some of the topics was discussed when I was excused. The exams I took that day was Chemistry, Physics, AP, MAPEH and Anal Geom. Among these 5 subjects, I only reviewed AP. This day was also the birthday of John Paul. He gave us Pancit to eat. In the afternoon, we were instructed to clean the field but only a few of us cleaned and the others are in our room, watching the movie Enchanted so I got angry. Actually until know I am not talking to those people except for some that cleaned after John Paul told them to but to those who even got angry to us, I will not talk to them unless they apologize to us. Saturday, I bought ice cream and we ate it and I think I will enjoy Saturday classes because we will always eat ice cream at lunch time.

First Time Migraine!

Sunday, my mind is still thinking of things that are concerning me. One is about my feelings and one is about a new YFC. This guy is named Jerome and I was his facilitator when he had his camp last December 29 and 30. He is a Born Again Christian and he was given the gift of prophecy. This gift is a gift from God wherein He will give you dreams or signs or He Himself will talk to you about the future or command you to fulfill you mission. God talked to Jerome and He said that His 2nd coming is near and Jerome must preach about his 2nd coming on our Welcome Party and he did what God told him to do. Now, the problem is that our coordinators thought that he is doing things that they are doing in their church and influencing us. They even talked to some of the service team about Jerome and they are thinking if they are going to give him a covenant ID. For me, it is painful because I am his facilitator and I am one of the people who convinced him to join YFC. The whole day of Sunday, I was doing my assignments and thinking about my problems. The next day, I was not able to go to school because of headache. I think this is because of thinking too much. Tuesday, I went to school already because I felt better. Anal Geom time, I already felt dizzy. Filipino time, the right side of my vision was already becoming blurred so I already went to the clinic and the upper left side of my face was severely aching. I also vomited 4 times there and one more time when I was in our car when my father fetched me. I drank medicine and immediately went to sleep. The next day, my head was still aching but not that much. I already went to an ophthalmologist to let my eyes checked and the doctor said that I only experienced migraine. The next day, I still did not went to school to have my rest. Friday, I went to school and declaimed at English time and fortunately, I was picked as one of the best performers of the class. The next day, Saliw had a practice but I was not able to go because my parents did not allow me. I hope God helps me as well as the other leaders about Jerome. *sigh*

Another Very Busy Week for Me And a Confusing One Too!

Sunday, I just stayed home and rested. I am also preparing for the upcoming week because I know that it will be a busy week. Monday, we went to the venue of the camp to assure the administrators that our camp will be pushed through. Unfortunately, the principal which is a nun was not there so we just asked one co-YFC member to sent a text message to the principal regarding the usage of the facilities. The principal agreed so our venue is already confirmed. Then, I went to Sm Dasmarinas because I have planned to buy the shoes I have wanted for a long time. I first looked at the American Boulevard but I was not able to see a good shoe there. I went to Tribal and I saw a shoe that I like but it was very plain for me. Lastly, I went to the shoe section of the Department Store and I saw a shoe that I really liked. It is a shoe of Mark Ecko. It cost 3890 pesos and I bought it. That night, Abby texted me that we need to make the ID's for the camp so I went to their house and there is also Maejae and Bryan. We did the ID's for the Youth Camp the next day. When we finished it and I reached home, I immediately packed up my things and went to sleep. The next day, I woke up at 5:30 am and I am late because I need to be in 7-11 at 6:00 am. I immediately fixed myself and went to 7-11 and headed to Colegio de Sta. Rosa. This is the venue of the camp. I am a facilitator and the camp did well but one of our coordinators got angry. It is ok for us because we understand her side. December 30, the camp ended. I slept immediately after reaching home and I woke up at about 6:00 pm. I went to the house of a co-YFC member, Tosca, or as I call her, Most. I gave her a t-shirt from Quezon that she wanted and we chatted until about 9:00 pm. That time I already went home because it is already late. December 31, I was excited for the new year celebration. That night, I went to church with some of my cousins and friends. Mei, a co-YFC member, is also with us and as well as her brother. She is my crush because she so nice, cute, and she is also a servant of God. New Year's Eve came and I ate and watched the fireworks of our neighbors. I also went to the house of Abby and Clarice to greet them a happy new year. They went in our house and they stayed there until about 6:00 in the morning. January 1, we had our Annual Family Reunion of the Punzalan Family. The next day, it was the Welcome Party of the participants of the previous camp. I had fun this day. After this, we headed to the church to attend the mass. When we went home, I realized that my feelings for Mei already grew more than a crush. This feeling is confusing because I love another girl, Most. I got confused of my feelings. This blog is the longest blog I think I've made and this is also the most personal one. I hope my feelings would make it clear to me because I am really confused.

Yey! I love Vacations!

Sunday, our Pharmacy staffs had their Christmas Party at our house. That time, my head was aching because of the practice of Saliw the day before. The next day, I went to Tamio's because we head our Welcome Party and Covenant for the new YFCs from the High School Based program of CNSHS. After that, we planned to go to Chowking but there was no place to park the jeepney so only I, Lance, and Ate Nadine was able to eat there. Tuesday, the YFC Community Based leaders namely, I, Abby, Ate GLorz, Inchet, Andrei, Khirran, and the Team Leaders for the camp, Maejae and Bryan, had a meeting in Andrei's house. The tension against Bryan and Ate Glorz was great because they were talking about the camp. After the meeting, I went home because we are going to go to Mandaluyong, in our uncle's house, because we will spend Christmas here. We arrived there when it was already dark. The next day, we went to Shangri-La Plaza because another uncle of ours came home from Singapore. Thursday, December 24, we played basketball with another guy also from the same subdivision as my cousin and we won the match. After playing basketball, we swam and that time, my parents with my siblings and other cousins arrived. Night of that day, we went to church. Midnight, we ate and opened the gifts. I loved the gifts I received. Dec. 25, we went to Power Plant Mall and there, I looked for shoes and we also saw Christine Reyes and Ara Mina. They are very beautiful and has a white complexion. Saturday, I had my rest. This week, I became really busy and I think, it would be the same next week.
