Michelle Branch - Sooner or Later |
] |
Andy is a little girl that I have grown very fond of. She attended the school I'm teaching in now, but she was never my student-- she graduated last year, I believe. I only got to meet her because of her little sister, Zari. At first, Andy was just a name. Her parents and little sister would mention her a lot, since the teachers knew her from before.
I finally got to see her when she came with her mom to pick Zari up. But I didn't say hi or anything. I just looked at her from a distance.
Then came parent-teacher conference week, and Becca, Zari's teacher, asked me to watch over the siblings while she talked to the parentals. I agreed of course and spotted them on the big toy speedboat on the playground. This was when I got to talk to Andy for the first time.
"Hello! Do you know who I am? I'm guessing you don't."
"Teacher Anna!" she giggled, then pulled me. "Stay inside the boat or you'll get wet!"
And my heart got fat and I soared up to the sky!
It's such a shallow encounter but it really made my day that day. For, I think forty minutes or so, we were just goofing around in the playground. It was the first time in such a long time that I went down a slide, too. Andy told me to go with her. And ever since then, I'd look forward to see her and Zari after all my classes and just play. It makes me really happy to see Andy's eyes light up every time she sees me. And she gives the best and tightest hugs-- it's as if she's known me all her pre-school years.
However, our new branch at the Fort opened, and I'd finish my working hours there so I don't get to see Andy after school anymore. I really miss her, and I worried a little that she'd forget about me.
At the new school, we have a partnership with a special arts workshop and they hold classes in the afternoon. Students from our other branch are invited to try it out.
So yesterday, I was minding my own business, preparing worksheets, cut-outs and whatever, then turned to look outside our glass divider to see Zari and Andy's mom waving frantically at me with a big smile on her face. I immediately left everything I was working on to greet her. I got so excited to look for the kids. After talking for a while, I rushed to look inside the other classroom, where the workshops were being held. And there they were! Zari saw me first and smiled and waved :) Andy didn't notice though. So I was trying to signal to Zari to tell Andy that I was there. It took me like 10 minutes-- one of the kids were being rowdy and we had to call his attention from the outside. That was when Andy turned.
In an instant, her eyes lit up, and she stood up and rushed to the door to give me a big hug :) Ah. I am remembered. And still appreciated. Must indulge in it while it lasts :)
But wait.
Don't think that I only favor Andy. Zari is a different story :)

Howdy.
Why is it when you have too much time on your hands, you don't know what to do with it?
Normally, I'd be thankful for a long weekend such as this one. But then, for some reason, it just seems TOO long now. I somehow wish I could be busier so that I can appreciate breaks like these more. I've been so desperate to become a whole-day teacher or at least have projects wherein I can gain additional experience and, of course, income.
This made me think for a while if I'm too driven by money-- but I'm not. I just really need the extra cash to do more things. Like learn how to drive and get myself my own car. Sometimes I feel so guilty when I have to go to places and I leech on my parents' cars and gasoline. I feel bad, too, when I have to make our driver wait for long hours, or go back and forth. It's too bad I wasn't taught how to commute. That could have helped in lowering our transportation expenses.
If I have more money, I could help my parents by paying for my tuition fee for graduate studies, as well as for my little sister's education. We also plan to buy a lot in Alabang; I could pitch in on that, too, since I'm the one who is really pushing for it. And then there's my membership for Fitness First. I haven't paid my mom for like two months already.
I'm dying to dance professionally. But I'm scared that it's really never going to happen. Time's catching up on me. I don't have training anymore and I'm getting older. Although I am still holding on to that inspiring story of Martha Graham-- THE MOTHER of Contemporary Dance-- who learned ballet at the age of 21. But... You know... She's a totally different person. Things may possibly work the opposite way for me.
I've been watching routines from the TV Show "So You Think You Can Dance?" on YouTube. It makes me sad and envious because they are all so awesome at such a young age. If SYTYCD were to go to the Philippines, would I get in? No, of course not. Sad, I tell you. Sad.
If only I didn't quit ballet when I was 9. My ballet school moving to Parañaque city is not a valid reason for me to quit. I could have just enrolled myself in tita Abigail's "More Than Dance School", which was just in St. Scho. Stupid.
If I could have one wish, I'd wish to live my life again and still meet the same people. But then again, how sure am I that I'd still be with the same crowd? Maybe things were meant to be this way.
Okay, rephrase. If I could have a special request when I die, I'll ask God and his angels to provide me dozens of TV screens that play different versions of my life.
(Off-topic: In relation to what I just said, I've always had just one image of Judgment Day: All human beings are gathered in a courtroom, each one has to go on the stand, and EVERY detail and second of his/her life will be played on a big screen for everyone to see)
Oh right, I have a few questions.
How can UP afford to have small tuition fees? Are UP professors paid well nonetheless? If so, where does the money come from, given that there are countless scholars in campus? Is UP simply paid for by the government?
...This is what happens when you leave me all alone at home, with nothing to do on a long weekend. Well, sure, I watched Up yesterday (which is FANTASTIC by the way) and stuff but...
Okay whatever I'll go read a book now.

Why, hello there!
I haven't written here for so long because: 1) I no longer stay in front of a computer all day long; and 2) I dislike my layout-- who knows how to remove ads? For some reason when I try customizing my LJ, those little annoying things appear. HELP ME.
I now have a new identity. You can now call me...
TEACHER ANNNNAAAAA!!!! :D
Yessirreee, I have proudly made a career shift, and I believe it's the best decision I ever did for myself! :) I'm happier now, and I'm having so much funnn. The kids are absolutely love-eh-leeee. I'm waiting for a co-teacher/friend to upload some photos she took the other day. I shall post them here to boast some more :D
There are sooome times when I think that I shouldn't put my Comm Arts degree to waste. My friend Crizel asked me why don't I try out as a DJ. That could work I guess. Or maybe not a DJ, just a voice talent or something.
Okay, feeling.
Anyway, we'll see, we'll see :) I'm keeping my options open, though I know I really can't let go of teaching now. That and DANCE of course! I wish I can still get into professional dancing. That's a tough ambition but whatever, I can try :D

Hello.
Hello. Hello. Hello.
Hello from the office.
I'll be getting a flu shot later. And I'm kinda scared. And I'm wearing a long-sleeved shirt. Soooo... How to get that shot? I'm stupid.
And I'm bored. Bored bored bored. Could you believe that, I'M BORED! ME? FOREALZ MEHN.
And yet, even if I'm not doing anything, it's almost noon-- meaning, the day's halfway through. Awesome. It's good I have an iPod now. Although I kinda regret asking this from my parents-- I should have asked for a digital camera instead.
My boyfriend just told me Friday's a non-working holiday because Pacquiao's coming home. Didn't want to believe him at once because he likes kidding me around :P
NEWSFLASH!
Non-working holiday on Fridehhh o yehhhhh!
Oh joy, oh joy, oh JOY! Must spread the happiness!

Enchanted OST - So Close |

Today, I went to a meeting alone. That means I took a cab all by myself. JOY! It was only until St. John Bosco Parish though :p It's like a 5 to 10-minute drive from our office. But still, it's an achievement going on my own.
I'm pathetic :p
I was thinking, in my past entries, I'd ask if I'm growing backwards, but now I realize that I'm just growing in a very slow pace. It's a bit embarrassing, even if I am moving forward somehow. I mean, I am working already and everything, and then when my officemates hear about how sheltered I am, they find it hard to believe. And I get so conscious because maybe they think I'm some spoiled, rich kid-- which I'm not.
This day went by so fast; there were so many things to do that I didn't even feel the Monday blues. But I'm happy to say that I finished a lot of things and was able to leave the office just in time for Body Combat at Fitness First :D Health and well-being freak!
By the way, I just got back from our company teambuilding/outing in Ilocos. We left Thursday evening and came back Sunday morning. It was fun. We stayed in Sitio Remedios in Curimao, then visited Laoag and Vigan for those two days. Lots of sights to see and the beach in Sitio is really nice. The sand is almost as hard as concrete but the water's clean :) Too bad I didn't have a camera with me but the accounts girls took lots of photos. Hope they post soon so I can share :)
Omg, may I just say it was bagnet galore. CHOLESTEROL, BABY! But it is good, I have to admit.
I did a lot of shopping in Vigan for myself, my family, Milan, and his family :p Ooh I found something I think Kor would like, too! I splurged on this fabulous bag, a hat, a piece of interesting artwork, accessories for Milan, and lots and lots of food!
Soooooo now. I'm broke.
Thank goodness it's pay day on Thursday!
I feel like blabbering today. Probably because I was too pre-occupied earlier to talk to anyone. I think I even snapped at Cathy (I AM SO SORRY o_o).
Anywho, gotta get some shut-eye. Have to brace myself for another busy day tomorrow. Goodnight :) Hope I can write again tomorrow. And I still have to make that other journal GRRR.

Hello, there.
This is turning out to be a very slow day. I've been looking for things I can work on here at the office, but I have already accomplished everything this morning. I think. I'm a bit nervous to appear idle because my officemates might think that I am slacking off. But what the hey, there's really nothing for me to do as of now. And besides, it's lunch break.
Before logging on to LJ, I was looking through Facebook and stumbled upon photos of my friend's new, bouncing baby boy. And it made my heart smile. I really love babies. But even if I really want to have my own already, of course, I know I can't yet. DUH. Crazy how I used to think I want to have kids at an early age. Like, what, TWENTY-ONE? That's next year already -_-
I do think about pregnancy and having kids in general though. I think about it A LOT. Labor pains, puking in the morning, my figure getting fatter and fatter... Then there are the scary thoughts that linger in my head every once in a while, and I refuse to share these. Better lock them up until I actually have my first healthy baby.
Okaaaaaaaaaaay I am that bored.
I have a headache again. I just ate! what could be the reason for this now? Maybe I need glasses again. I'm in front of my PC every single day... Yeah that must be it.
I am still thinking of a good blog name for my new journal. I'm still retaining this one for personal thoughts and experiences-- the other one is for more serious stuff. Should I put it up here on LJ or blogspot or wordpress?

For the past hour or so, I could not find anything good on TV, and there was nothing exciting going on in my mailbox or Facebook or whatnot. So I went to Google and I stared at the text box for some time until I finally decided on finding deeper meanings of life. So I typed various keywords until I hit a bunch of interesting ones. And, just to share, I think the best line I read is this one:
"Parents and schools are no longer geared toward child development, they're geared to academic achievement."
That statement right there embodies my personal beliefs and experiences.
Generally speaking, kids today are expected to be perfect and flawless. So most adults find themselves hovering over these kids to make sure they are guided every step of the way-- this includes avoiding every possible encounter with failure and pain. BUT it turns out that when children are overprotected, especially by their parents, they grow up unready for the real world. They may be the smartest kids on earth, yes, but then they may not be able to handle things on their own because they are used to having help from someone else.
These kids may have a hard time interacting with others due to shyness, grow up to be poor in decision-making, and may even adapt their parents' fear of taking risks and making mistakes. Also, their self-esteem may be affected; when parents become overprotective, they unintentionally tell their children that they are incapable of doing things that their peers can easily do. It gets harder when the children get older, because they no longer see this as an act of love and concern from the parents' end; they interpret it as an act of distrust. "They feel that they are denied the normal pursuits of their peers merely because their parents have unfounded and baseless fears."
As for schools, teachers are so particular on memorization and conciseness that students don't even know how to apply their lessons in real life. This is why I highly believe in kids engaging in extra-curricular activities. These children have to grow, not just within the academic sphere.
I have lost coherence in this note. I will just organize all these information when I have to write a thesis paper for Education. But I hope you learned something today, too.

HSM3 - What Time is It? |
] |
(I bet you guys are thinking of the Pussycat Dolls after reading that title)
It all started when I was young and I was so determined to become a doctor, just like my parents (and that made my mother so happy); I said I wanted to help people. After that I said I wanted to be a teacher. And then a writer. And then I got involved in musical theater and said I wanted to do that for the rest of my life, or at least, be someone who holds those acting workshops. Practically the same time, I said I wanted to be a radio DJ and a rockstar XD I learned how to play the guitar when I was around 12 or 13 (but I suck, ok? :p)
After that, my ambitions suddenly became blurry because I thought I was going to die before I reach college :p But lo and behold! I entered La Salle when I was 16 (and I was well and healthy :p) I picked Communication Arts because I wanted to learn photography. Honestly though, I didn't really think about the course I wanted. I just took whatever looked like fun to me.
One of the first major subjects I took up was FOTOCAM (Photography Camera), and I fell in love with it despite all the stress and the stinky chemicals. For my final photo essay, my topic revolved around fashion evolution. That made me say, "ooh, I want to be a fashion photographer!" But then I realize I have so much competition, since all the DSLRs and lomos came out. So scrap that.
After photography, I had tons of subjects that required video production. I thought of going to Big Foot in Cebu and attend film school, or start out as a personal alalay. Then I had TELEPRO (television production), and for one of our exercises, we were asked to make a music video. I loved the whole process-- picking out what song, conceptualizing, scouting for talents, shooting, taking part in one scene (ooh la la) and editing. BUT I loved the end product more. So I said, I want to produce music videos! But I found out that people who make music videos are usually freelance so nevermind. Before graduating, I was convinced I was made to be a pre-school teacher since I love kids. I even blogged about wanting to get a second degree in Education in La Salle. But until now, I haven't done anything.
At some point, I also told myself I'll just be a dancer all my life. Then I realized that I can't move as much as I do now when I'm like 50. AND I kind of gave up on it, because I thought to myself that I am not improving. I still love to dance though, don't get me wrong.
And so, here I am, jobless and blogging about my fickle mind. I tried out too many things without really focusing on anything, so everything that I have is half-baked. Now I'm trying to get into the advertising or the media industry, particularly in the creatives department. My parents say I shouldn't limit myself since I'm just a fresh grad. So I should just keep applying and in whatever job I get into first, I should just make it a stepping stone to get into a big company that I want later on. But if I don't get a job by December, I'm going to have to go back to school. Probably get a second undergraduate degree in Advertising. Or take up Multimedia Arts in CSB. Or Masters... But then I want to have experience before I take Masters so it's either Advertising or MMA.
Mom just handed me the classified ads. Maybe I'll find something here.
I am a bit pressured, or maybe I'm just pressuring myself. But at least I can control things better now. I remember, a month after my graduation, I stressed so badly about finding a job that my period got delayed (overshare, sorry :p). I was just really worried that nobody would hire me, especially since I'm a 19-year-old fresh graduate with no job experience whatsoever because my course doesn't have OJT.
(Ok so I didn't mean for this entry to be so long but apparently I have so much to say. I bet, at this point, no one's reading anymore XD It's fine. I'm just letting this be my outlet anyway)
Actually, all that I intended to say was that when I grow up, I want to be put in a position where I could tell to myself, "wow, this is something totally unexpected." You know, like those short oh-my-God-I-am-stunned speeches movie stars make upon claiming an award during Oscars night. I do have a plan, but I'm open to whatever life's going to offer me in the future. Maybe in the near future, I'll be in La Salle again, taking up my second undergraduate degree. Or maybe I will just end up being a successful dancer... Or become president of some big shot advertising firm like McCann... Or maybe I'll find myself in a classroom full of kiddie drawings and ABC's and 123's.
I think it's best when we just embrace life and surrender. Things will just come, so thank God I have the patience of a rock. But of course that doesn't mean that I won't exert any effort anymore since I think that things are bound to happen anyway. No. That's now how I function. I'm not a person of mediocrity, that's for sure.
It just helps perhaps to have objectives instead of mere plans. And mine is to change the world even just a little bit. Sappy, but hey. I want a career wherein I can develop my character. It's not money I'm after really, although I cannot deny that it is a need in this life, especially since I want to pamper my kids in the future XD But I'm more interested on the legacy that I leave behind. I'm hungry for ultimate self-fulfillment, for that point in time when I can just hug myself for a job well done. Then I can die happy.

| "Nobody Told Us to Get Our Trophy," said Coach Franz |
[27 Sep 2008|02:52am] |
I got this from ArcherPride.com
From the Philippine Star
Nobody told us to get our trophy, says Franz
By Abac Cordero Saturday, September 27, 2008
It wasn’t really on purpose that La Salle failed to accept the runner-up trophy last Thursday at the Big Dome following a very painful loss to Ateneo in the UAAP finals.
Coach Franz Pumaren said as the hurting Green Archers locked themselves inside their dugout after the game, nobody really told them that it was time to receive their trophy.
Nobody told us to come out and accept the trophy, said Pumaren yesterday. He was no longer as bitter as he was right after Ateneo clinched the title with a 62-51 win.
Of course we were feeling bad but we were never really told to come out,” said Pumaren, who rued the officiating in the game that turned out to be the last of the season.
According to Pumaren, UAAP president Sergio Cao of host University of the Philippines decided to hand the champion’s trophy to Ateneo, amid all the celebration going on in the court, even if La Salle had not accepted theirs.
I was told Mr. Cao told Fr. Bernie Oca (of La Salle) that they did not bother to call us because they felt that we were feeling really bad. That's why we were not told to come out anymore, said Pumaren
Pumaren said it has already happened in the past that the runner-up team in the UAAP was no longer asked to come out and accept the trophy.
The Green Archers, their coach added, have already accepted defeat.
In fact we're already looking forward to next year, said Pumaren, adding that from the Big Dome the Green Archers had a sumptuous dinner in a Chinese restaurant in San Juan.
Last Thursday's match was the last game for JV Casio in the UAAP, and probably also for Rico Maierhofer who might turn pro since he’s about to finish his studies.
Whatever Rico's decision is we have to respect. We will not hold him back. He has played for La Salle for so long and he has given us a title (2007). He's ripe for the PBA, said Pumaren.
Pumaren raised the fact that during game the Blue Eagles were awarded 28 free throws (making 18) off 29 fouls called on the Green Archers.
And compared to us, we were awarded only eight free throws during the entire game where Ateneo only had 13 fouls in 40 minutes of play, he said.
It's quite a disparity. But that's how the competition goes, he said.

First and foremost, congratulations to the Blue Eagles for winning the championship this year! You guys played well this season... BUT I believe you could have won the title in better way.
I don't want people to think that we're just making excuses for not bagging the title but apparently, this opportunity to point out how badly the game was officiated is just hard to miss. Practically the whole day, I've been reading articles, blog posts and comments that both attack and praise La Salle-- although it seems that there are more who enjoy bashing us, including those from other schools.
It's not that we don't admit that the Blue Eagles play well because they really do. But you know, we should have been given the chance to fight. I'm sure we would simply accept this defeat if yesterday's game was a clean one. It sucks that Referee #12 made crappy calls when the archers weren't doing anything. And, may I just say, Rico did not taunt Rabeh. Sharon Yu explained that after Rico was brought out.
I empathize with the Green Archers. I feel bad especially for Sir JVee and Coach Franz. I saw how hurt and frustrated they were. I can't blame the team for not coming out to claim their awards. It's their form of rebellion. It's not that they're bitter for losing-- they just know they deserve much better than that.
But don't get me wrong, I don't feel bad at all that we lost. I even wish I was there at the Big Dome to see it all happen, sing the Alma Matter with everyone else and cheer for JVee for one last time. I'm just irritated by the injustice. What's more annoying is that when I got home, I logged in ArcherPride.com and I saw a big red rolling marquee that says, "The Animo is NOT La Salle's!" The forums and threads were gone. Apparently, someone hacked the site. What wonderful timing! Just shows how courteous some people truly are.
The Animo will ALWAYS be ours.
So you know, I'll just have to say THANK YOU to all you haters who try to destroy us. I really see that we are better people with big, modest hearts-- and that's why I decided to write this. I think the outcome of this season has brought the whole La Sallian Community closer. Seriously, I am ultimately TOUCHED to see how we are all taking this loss.
God, I'm so cheesy :p But really, I've never been so proud. This feeling is greater than what I felt last year! Haha. It looks like we may have to bring back those posters that say, "Back with a Vengeance!"
Argh I must buy that Adidas jacket. And the dress jersey :p And and, I MUST go to GH this Sunday for the mass with the players.
I'm such a dork but who cares :p
I haven't said this yet so I will now: CONGRATULATIONS TO THE GREEN ARCHERS. You gave everything you had, I could see it in your faces. To PJ Walsham, you played your best game yesterday. And to all those who went to Araneta, props to you guys for cheering with all your might until the very end! That's our Animo right there :D
I heart you, La Saaallee ♥

The feeling's never going to change, because I know it could only get better each time, even if it always feels as if it's the best thing already. This is the real deal. I wouldn't want anything else. I'm happy that nothing's changed despite all the little crappy things that comes up every now and then. That's just how it is to be here-- to try again and again until we get it right. I'm not saying that everything is perfect now, but it's heading towards that direction. And now I can't stop smiling to myself and I want to bonk myself in the head :P
----
Guess what? I got home at 2 AM this morning! HAHAHAHA first time, man :p 'Cause last night was my first time at the Embassy. I'm not the clubbing kind (well, probably because my parents have never allowed me before, plus the obvious fact that I only turned 18 last year) but I must say I had fun and I'd want to go again some time. I have Sha Supangan to thank for inviting me to her birthday party. HAPPY BIRTHDAY SHA :D You looked very pretty with your purple dress :D
No, I did not do drugs :p And I drank very little. Just a glass of gin and sprite (which I didn't even finish) and a shot of Bacardi for the birthday girl. I got very uncomfortable with all the smoke. It stung my eyes and made me tear up a bit, and the smell gave me temporary sniffles and a headache :p
I'm surprised my parents let me go. But then, they kept telling me to take care of myself before I left. AND they wouldn't sleep until I got home :| My brother already said he'd pick me up, but my parents still kept calling! Uh, working girl! It's time to LET GOOOOO. I know how to discipline myself :p See, I didn't even really drink :p I'm a responsible person :p
Milan's not the dancing type but I felt insanely happy slightly bouncing up and down while he was holding me from behind. Maybe he enjoyed it as well? I have yet to ask. Obviously, he got home later than I did. I should get that boy to dance. And I should stop being so shy :p His pep friends are really nice to me. I don't why I'm too shy these days. I've been biting my nails more than usual later. Signs of insecurity! Tsk.
So anyway. There. I'm growing up. Yay :p It's nice to be around people who are a few years older than I. I get to enjoy life more :D

I have this thing with dropping a bar of soap while taking a shower. I hate how its impact on the bathroom floor causes only one side to look compressed. It makes the whole bar look a bit smaller and deformed! It's even more annoying when you drop it more than once. There are more compressed sides! Sayang ang sabon!
I also hate it when I sweat right after taking a shower. Or when I wipe the towel around my body and miss a spot and then put baby powder and it feels all icky.
And what sucks that most is that I actually have time to blog about something as petty as this. :p

Sara Bareilles - Bottle it Up |
] |
I have one on Monday, 9AM, somewhere in Salcedo street, Legaspi Village, Makati. And the funny thing is, I didn't even apply for this company. Hahaha. The person I talked to said they got my number from DLSU. Hmm. I wonder. I won't give away the company name first. All I can say is it's a recruitment agency. I'll take the chance, even if I really want to work in an ADVERTISING agency.
I know I've been restless and worrying like hell about finding work... But right now I'm not a tad bit excited. Sigh. We'll see, we'll see :)

Head Automatica - Graduation Day |
] |
And I'm not feeling a tad bit superstitious! Never was when it came to this kind of thing :p In fact, nice things seem to happen to me when it's Friday the 13th, and today's not any different! Well, okay, the day's not even half over yet, but still, this morning's little itty bitty event is enough to keep me happy :D
Milan passed by the house at around 8:30 to borrow my phone because his got broken. He needed a phone badly since he has a job interview with Summit Media at 10 AM (yihee!! I'm so proud :p). Right after, he went straight back here. And that's what's keeping me bouncy! Yeah yeah, shallow for you but it means a big box of Ferrero Rocher chocolates to me :p He stayed here for just an hour but that's totally fine. I'm seeing him again tomorrow anyway. He saw me in all my dugyot glory. I haven't taken a shower or brushed my teeth. Haven't brushed my hair either but that's a given; I rarely brush my hair.
Celisse is sleeping over at my house tomorrow evening after the party! Woohoo! It's been a while since I've had a sleepover here at my house. Haha, Cha! Megan! I miss you both!! Anywho, since she's coming along with me tomorrow going to Alabang as well, we can go early and watch Kungfu Panda with Milan! (You see, my parents don't allow me to watch a movie with just Milan just yet. Which kinda sucks but what can I do :p)
Eeeeek I'm too happy. It kinda makes me worry that something bad will happen after. Ha! So much for not being superstitious :p Maybe today's just really a good day.
RANDOM: I need a job!! I hope I'm lucky enough to receive a call today. :p

Hello, world! It has been a while :D So I need to write.
Well. I've been stuck in this house. As usual. But there was something that kept me busy for a while and that is... a baby. Yes, I bore a child unknowingly and it just popped out of nowhere. HAHAHA I'm just kidding. My mom adopted a three-month old baby. The parents are both doctors, and they have their own families. TSK TSK. Shame on you people! I'm proud that my mom took this child. It's as if the kid's her own! Her initial name was Katherine, then my brother said Nicole, so we made it Katherine Nicole. Her nicknames get mixed up though, so I never really call her by her name. Just "baby". Hahaha.
It's HARD to be a baby sitter. Yesterday, after feeding her, she started to cry so I carried her. Then when she was okay already, I put her down and then she started crying again! I had to carry her for like an hour. Ick. And then it was hard to put her to sleep! Hayayayyy. On the bright side, at least I'm gaining experience :p
It's Milano's and Jann's birthday party this Saturdayy! Yahoo! So many guests. I hope we fit :p And I hope I get to watch Kungfu Panda once and for all!!!
I'm sleepy and I need to jog. So I will jog. Then maybe I will go to sleep after I take a shower. This is quite a pointless post, don't you think? :P

Dashboard Confessional - Stolen |

I put some pellets in the aquarium earlier. When I peeked in, I saw that Lobby was positioned differently. His legs were limp. This time I really knew that he's dead. I shook the aquarium, hit him with the plastic plant... Nothing. My fortune lobster is gone :( And he's only a year old :(
I'm not really attached to him though, so I'm not grieving so much. If Lobby were a golden retriever, I'd be sulking. Not that I don't love my pet. We just never really got to interact so much. I mean, how can you with a lobster, really?
Still, bless his soul. I'm a bad lobster pet owner. Sniff.
