January
marked one of the best times of my entire life. I went to China! and Hawaii and i guess you can say that it was probably one of the most significant times of my life. Truly lifechanging, I'm sure you all heard about it so im not getting into it. Also came back from LA and that was a wonderful time too. I was still hung up on you know who.
February
start of the Ice Princess fiasco with the first audition. It was also Heather's surprise party from missions.. hehe.. that was a great time as well. herm.. also saw mamma mia for the first time.. AMAZING SHOW! hehe.. nothing special this month.. oh.. maybe mike's birthday.. HAHAHAHA.. jkk..

March
somewhat started my university prep.. hehe.. starting applying to certain things and asking for certain things, like the SATS! hahaha.. second audition for Ice Princess as well as March Break! hehehe.. that was fun because i had yearbook to look forward too plus the outings with drii downtown and sleepovers and mamma mia and the like.. OH.. i also got my g2! hehehehe.. highlight..Cecilia was found this month i think.
April
my beloved manong died this month. It was a really tough time to go through. Also started to struggle with low blood, anxiety, stress, and nervousness... similar to my situation now. started a series of doctor's appointments, blood tests, ultrasounds and the like. oi vay. Started mentorship with Nger as well as rehearsals for the ice show. Ice show was this month as well as spring retreat. That was a wonderful time especially since I was helping plan out.. DOIII.. i forgot to include SRC on all my applications! DOOOOH! oiii.. but retreat was awesome and inspiring. Probably one of my best months this year.
May
Spring Skate! oiii.. failed the junior test! second time.. oiii.. this was also the start of SC campaigns in which i had fun campaigning for aaron.. hahaha.. good times good times. Annie was this month! hehe.. that was awesome! hehehe.. i guess i started to get close to mike again this month.. start of something eh mike? hahaha.. Spring Banquet this month!! hehehe.. can't believe i was put on the job.. oi vay!
June
Awards Assembly! hahaha.. fun, exams.. not fun, wonderland? FUN! hehehe.. can't remember much from it though.. cept for the fun KBBQ afterwards.. that was soo jokes.. Grade 12 Graduation was this time.. such a tearful time for me. hehehe.. soo many people i loved who were leaving.. oh.. and ICE PRINCESS! the start of my money making! hahahaha.. good times good times... read archives for ice princess (June 2004).. hehehehe.. also, we finished the yearbook this month! WHOOHOOO!
July
such a bittersweet month. Went back to ice princess this month.. also one of the worst summer skating times ever.. hehe.. it was such a bad season compared to last summer's summer skating. I wish i could re live 2003.. it was truly one of the best years of my life. encountered a little incident as well that totally brought me down soo much. On the other hand, it was my birthday month with a wonderful birthday party. Thanks guys.
August
Yearbook camp! haha.. that's all i can say.. as well as Philippines.. went to Davao this time which was loads of fun.. I miss davao, nothing but eat and sleep and shop all day. and the beach.. WHOHOO! amazingly clear water... visited Brent this month as well, very interesting.
September
start of my graduating year. i can honestly say this was probably the worst month of my life. I was struggling with skating, trying to pass my test, was under soo much stress, had bad relations with parents, struggled with myself, where i was going and had a little incident that was the perfect cherry for an already horrible month. this month coined my motto "I'm in a fishbowl". Also earl bales day and university fair.
October
recalled2life and newspaper started up this month. YAY! Team Granite also started up this month. Started the whole going out on weekends with mike and matt.. hahaha... lotsa fun. Thanksgiving dinner was this month and that was awesome. also, it was the YB seneca trip! hehehe.. great bonding time with the current yb staff. Had the granite dinner with some speaker from some thing.. hehehehe.. yucky food. OC DVD came out this month. Went to Aaron's fellowship this month as well. Not much.. just normal fun things
November
First Sandwich Run of the year. Great bonding time with my twin RACHEL! hehehe.. overall a successful run to start it off. Most importantly.. OC!!! OC premiered this month! gave me something else to live for. hehehe... Vaughn Mills opened as well as SEPHORA! hehehe... quite disappointed with VM but Sephora surpassed my standards. Sectionals was this month but i opted to skip it which unknowingly caused a lot of controversy in the future. Applied for membership at the club and interviews started this month. Norval was this month. that's self-explanatory. At this point, there was only 108 days left of school. Norval was really a time that i treasured all my friends even more.
December
and the year has ended. Spirit week was this month! hehehe.. YAY! Sandwich run this month as well. that was great. Started all my applications like Richmond, OUAC, and scholarships. hehehehe.. more to come on that. Sleepover on the last day of school! awesome time right?? hehehehe.. Dad came this month.. not a very enjoyable time, lets put it that way. Christmas at Brocks! hehehe.. Phantom of the OPera, a series of unending errands, and just overall a very frustrating time, especially now.. Such a great way to end the year, with grudges, stress, headaches, frustrations, and burdens to overload me. This month also started something special, not quite sure how that's gonna go but.. yeah.. hehehe.. fun time with a horror movie... can't believe i survived through the texas chainsaw massacre! OMG hahahaha.. meh... not a very great year for me. More downs than ups and I am more frazzled than ever before. WHOOP DE DOO... .. i really hope that 2005 will be no where near how 2004 was for me. BRING BACK 2003!!!
anyways.. that's my year in review.

i think i have become nothing but an errand goer... havn't done anything but! OIII! i seriously have been stripped of my life and become nothing but a person who does errands.. with no control over my speech, my actions, what I do, where I go, and what i think. i have soo much in me that i need to get out but i can't. i'm not usually one who is bombarded with so much to think about, i usually have nothing to think about, but what' has become of me? I havn't been hyper in ages, I havn't been satisfied with myself, I havn't even been eating the usual way. I guess Im just frustrated with the way certain things have turned out plus Im facing more frustrations especially during this holidays. Don't get me wrong, certain aspects of this holidays have made me smile and made me feel so special, but for some reason, the negative aspects have a higher impact on me than the positive which is abnormal for me. What a great way to end the year eh? Plus, there is this constant shadow looming over me, probably looming over most of us, that haunts me and just gives me a headache everytime i think about it... the future. Where am I next year? What am I doing next year? I think im struggling with freedom too. I'm not given the freedom to do much of what I want, and sometimes I feel that I am still treated like a kid.. Oii... i don't know anymore. If you're reading this, please pray for me. Pray for God's guidance over my life because it is during this time that I really need to just trust that everything is in His hands and that I really shouldn't be taking control over my own life.
special shouts go out to Brii, Dani, Helen, Heidi, Sam, Jerome. You guys don't understand how much that meant to me. Sadly, it is one of the highlights of my holidays. Made me feel like I was still someone important and special. hehehe.. thanks you guys.. love you to bits.
where's my knight? haha...
4 days till school...

so well, i havn't been keeping this up this holidays have i? hehehe.. well, frankly, not many people have been blogging.. hehehe...well, it has been a bittersweet holidays for me... lotsa time to just think about stuff, and i seem to be doing that a lot lately. Well, my dad's in town so all i have been doing is going around on errands for him. I took him to the doctor, to the radiation centre, to the optometrist, to best buy, to groceries, to the office and back millions of times, to the grocery again, and basically, they have taken advantage of my driving abilities and have used to be go places.. hehehehe.. in a way, its fun but on the other hand, its quite sad because I havn't been able to do much but errands. oh well, guess i don't have a choice. Anyways, christmas was awesome! Brock made this giant turkey and he cooked it perfectly. It was amazing! we had the turkey, amazing stuffing, loads of gravy, butternut squash, roasted potatoes, wax beans, pancit palabok, and too much food to go around. I thought i was gonna die of fullness until they said.. save room for dessert.. i thought i was gonna puke... ugh.. but.. it was SOOO worth it coz the dinner was AMAZING! hehehe.. herm.. fun times fun times.. cept for the fact that Lemuel ruined my christmas spirit by telling me the truth about christmas!
fallacies:
1. Jesus was not born on Christmas!
2. He was actually born in the fall
3. We are celebrating winter solstice, a pagan holiday. Christmas is a pagan holiday!
4. People didn't like pagan worship so that made it Jesus's birthday!
5. The Christmas tree is an idol for pagans!
6. Santa clause is this little skinny dude back during the Depression
7. Coca Cola made him fat and jolly!
so why are we celebrating it again?? is it just for the Christmas spirit? someone please disprove this or tell me some good news about Christmas... :'(
anyways.. boxing day was a drag.. way too much people so parking was insane and AE ran out of my sizes!!!! and the line up was WAYYY tooo long! meh.. bought a new blazer and a new blouse at benetton and got a killers cd. not bad.. hehehehe... Im starting to like the killers a lot.. hehehe.. or anything on the oc mix 2 soundtrack.
anyways, this week is devoted to whatever work i can handle.. hehehe...
meh, its funny how things can change overnight... i don't know what im getting myself into... oi vay. I feel God's telling me to do something though and I guess I refused to see that before. I refused to see a lot of things before. Herm, who knows.. time will tell.
Once again, i have learned to always go to Jo for advice. She always gives the best one at the right time.. hahahaha...
Good LUck Wes at Disney!! hehehehe.. don't screw up!!!
alright... gone to go for some coffee with dad and MR. CAR! hehehe...
New Car BABY!!!

YB deadline was not met.. hopefully we can finish by monday so deadline 1 would be done! thursday, we stayd afterschool but no one ended up staying for the whole thing.. last year.. it was through the first deadline that we all bonded because we were all stressed together and we all ate dinner together and we all just got closer within those few hours before the christmas concert. this year, half the class stayed and they all individually went out to get dinner and ditched us and once they finished their page, they left without trying to help others... didn't bond at all and it ended up with me and drii doing nothing coz we can't help their pages anyways since they're being marked on it... WHOOP DEE DOO! anyways...
christmas concert was ok... lotsa talented little dudes so that was awesome.. hehehe.. best part of the night was during the hallelujah chorus when sammo decided he wanted to sing.. In the middle of the prayer, sammo jumped up and over us and ran his way up to the stage and squished in with the guys of bass. it was funny because it was sammo's voice that stood out the most.. ehehe.. very memorable
friday was quite boring... I had a good chat with miss ng during lunch during my accountability time with her. I was able to just release what was on my head and my struggles especially about my trust in God. I told her that i was having a hard time relying on God for Him to do what he wanted in my life and instead i was taking control of my whole life. I told her I was struggling with this since last year and she told me that unfortunately, I will continue to struggle with it for the rest of my life... its a sad thought.. then we talked about various people i wanted to pray for and about the fact that school is ending and frienships are soon going to be heading towards a different direction. She asked me which friends I would sincerely value the most and which ones I would try to keep in touch with and she was surprised with my choices. She said that the friendships she held on to were with the people that she had the most meaningful conversations with, not the superficial friendships and the more I thought aobut it, the more i realize that it's true.
After skating, my mom was on a hyper craze. She bought live crabs but through her haste, she just left them in the sink and left to pick me up. So they were alive and in the sink, untied for a good 4 hours. On the ride back, my mom was like.. the crabs!!! When we get home, they're probably going to be all over the apartment crawling on everything! in the middle of the night, a crab is oging to jump on your bed and snap your toes!!! then we started panicking and thinking of ways a crab could get over the sink including piling on top of each other until one crab got out... very very stupid time. ANyways, we got the apartment and the crabs were dead.
I went on a rebellion against homework last night and decided to do nothinb but watch tv. I watched santa clause 2, OC, north shore, what a girl wants, you got served, two episodes of friends and sex and the city while eating ice cream. I rarely get to do that anymore.
Well, to my spiritual life, I guess God has been telling me the same thing over and over in many different ways. He constantly reminds me that life is short, life is short, and life on earth doesn't matter as much as life with God. He's constantly telling me to give my life to Him because He is always in control anyways. Whatever I do doesn't matter but only what I do to serve God. Its a struggle because i worry about marks too much, I worry about friends, I worry aobut my future instead of letting God handle it. I'm also learning about superficial friends. I realize that most of my friendships now are very superficial and surface. We don't talk deep but rather what goes on around us. I don't have that many frienships that go beneath the surface and I don't have mnay friends that know me as me. I think I need to work on that.

YB deadline was not met.. hopefully we can finish by monday so deadline 1 would be done! thursday, we stayd afterschool but no one ended up staying for the whole thing.. last year.. it was through the first deadline that we all bonded because we were all stressed together and we all ate dinner together and we all just got closer within those few hours before the christmas concert. this year, half the class stayed and they all individually went out to get dinner and ditched us and once they finished their page, they left without trying to help others... didn't bond at all and it ended up with me and drii doing nothing coz we can't help their pages anyways since they're being marked on it... WHOOP DEE DOO! anyways...
christmas concert was ok... lotsa talented little dudes so that was awesome.. hehehe.. best part of the night was during the hallelujah chorus when sammo decided he wanted to sing.. In the middle of the prayer, sammo jumped up and over us and ran his way up to the stage and squished in with the guys of bass. it was funny because it was sammo's voice that stood out the most.. ehehe.. very memorable
friday was quite boring... I had a good chat with miss ng during lunch during my accountability time with her.

Why do I constantly have this anxious feeling in me? It seems like my mind is subconciously telling my body that there's something either coming up or happening that I don't realize? And everytime I feel this way, my heart keeps pounding so much causing this overwhelming feeling of nervous to shoot up to my heart. I hate this feeling and I seem to be getting it more and more everyday. I guess a lot of things could be worrying me right now like the amount of work that I am constantly putting off, skating struggles with people, the realization of graduation, ouac and univ applications, my future, my mom's new job, others. I guess I'm just overwhelmed with soo many things that its natural to feel nervous about not completing them. I hate this feeling though.. Not even steady breathing, which I normally do at competitions to calm me down, can work this time. My heart just pounds even faster. Please pray...
I'm on fire
When You're near me
I'm on fire
When You speak
And I'm on fire
Burning at these mysteries
rekindle the fire for God
