Talent Show ( June 11, 2012)

WE had our annual talent show in PAS today and that me say that I was quite entertained. The show kicked off with rock band playing. I didn't get to hear much of the music, but I could feel the vibration in my veins even at present. Next act, Angela and Jenny sang THat's what makes you beautiful and the song whose lyrics involved" When I see your face, there's not a thing that I will change"( I forgot the title of the song). It was quite a crowd-pleaser. Everyone was listening intently. After that, we had Andy from elementary playing drums along side with some music. He was good. We also had Melody playing the piano which was cute. We had Angelica and Chica and Candy singing and performing the song by Taylor Swift called Safe and Sound. Candy's saxophone added quite an effect to the performance. What was really the biggest uproar was conducted by Ben, Jeremy and a couple of others who decided to host a teacher-teasing performance. Before they performed, they expressed that it was not their intention to offend anyone. They kicked right in and the audience responded with laughter. This Talent Show really was quite interesting.

Musical Reflection ( June 10, 2012)

With the " Yo eee ho, yo ho"s still fresh in my mind  I sit down to type tonight's entry. Yesterday night was big. It was the finale of this school year's event and the hard work we had contributed all year. Dorothy, Tin man, Toto, Scarecrow, and the lion finally embraced their journey across the yellow brick road in front of real audiences. They did a magnificent job I'd say. Every emotion was exaggerated to an extent and the energy level was radiant. The orchestra did quite a magnificent job as well. For a total of two hours and a half, we squinted down in our tiny black chairs and poured our hearts out. We played until we became indifferent to the audience and everyone else. The only thing in our minds were the notes  and to get them right. I got many notes wrong, that I could say. In general, I was happy that people were so devoted. I will not claim to deny the fact that I had scoffed , yes, at complaints shot at us through practice, but in the end, it seemed like it was all worth it. Next year I think I will still join the orchestra and the year after that and the year after that. It will be quite interesting. Anyway, the musical is an excellent way to draw this school year to a conclusion.

Summer Vacation ( June 7, 2012)

I contributed most of my time this week to orchestra and the musical. I don't regret it however. Finally, I realized the reason I stuck with orchestra for so long. It surprised me at first, but I found out that I actually LIKED playing in the orchestra. Needless to say, I am not the most talented player on the team( composed of a mere twenty. Middle and High schoolers combined). In fact, I am perhaps the least skilled and laziest teammate to ever be on the team. While I could get the notes right, I could not quite get the beat right. Orchestra has been a torture for the past few months it is a miracle that I stuck with it despite of everything. The last two days changed how I felt about orchestra, music, and myself. I got to sit next to a good middle schooler this time and mimicked how she played. After learning how to play, I realized that this is actually quite fun! My love for violin has been reignited. Isn't this what orchestra is supposed to be about? Yay. Anyway, I should probably get back to my topic that I wrote on the top. This summer I would like to boost my english level and math levels. It will be quite beneficial for me throughout the rest of my learning career which stretches on to infinity.

The Musical ( June 6, 2012)

I almost forgot to write my journal today. Okay, let's see. Today we had a full day rehearsal for our school musical the wizard of oz. Setting the long waiting hours aside, we were berated by our wonderful director Ms. Sherry for being sloppy and lacking energy of any kind. I wouldn't exactly say she stand corrected, cause she doesn't. We really were sloppy and our energy level was low. Yet speaking from a child's point of view, summer is only a  few days away. It is just around the corner! Freedom is just outside where you can reach with a few baby steps, how can you resist? Besides, anyone would have gotten tired after rehearsing for a whole day right? Oh well. We'd better get used to this cause we're doing it again TOMORROW. Yeah, hear that? Tomorrow, we'll be doing this again. This time, the rehearsal time has been extended till five in the afternoon. Oh joy. Well, I suppose directors do have the power to just change schedules when they felt it was needed. I'm not technically a direct participant in the musical , but I'm in the orchestra. Sometimes I wished I Was in the musical because that way I could at least have people know my face.

What day is today? ( June 5, 2012)

I woke up this morning with the strangest sensation. I lied in my  bedroom, staring up the high protruding ceilings and wondered, " hmm....What day is today?" For a second I even wondered where i am and who I was. That moment passed quickly, almost just as quickly as it has come, I remembered where I was and who I am. I remembered that today is Tuesday, the last day of Finals. I had been looking forward to this day all month. Literally, I was pinning for this magical moment. My head was still ringing and my body wasn't coordinated. But I remembered where I was.I felt my father's presence as he opened the door a gentle crack and called for me to get up. I am here. I wasn't here a minute ago. IN fact, I don't even know where I was. My soul was set adrift and left an empty shell of flesh and bones wondering where the heck I am and what is my history. I always managed to remember the day of the weeks. It becomes a part of your innate abilities after being a student for at least ten years. The first time I don't remember what day is today is a day I will remember. And that is why I recording this down into my journal today. A strange, eerie kind of feeling.

Survivor ( June 4, 2012)

I am a survivor in many ways. It is in my blood. I am born to survive. All living things are. Ok, now this is a bit stupid. These lines are supposed to open up for the rest of my text which is again, about finals. I didn't do so well on finals this few weeks. It was quite upsetting, but it gave me a direction to start. So in a way, it is a good thing. Tomorrow will be our last exam for this final week and it will be great! After math test, I will have fun and eat popcorn and drink sodas and watch movies. It's going to be a blast. I am totally looking forward to that moment. I have survived finals and I will conquer them! Haha. Ok. I finished the book today and it was awesome! I so look up to the main character, he is so courageous and honorable. Such a nice character. Always putting himself in front of danger just to protect the ones he loved, which is quite a lot. He is the person who would do things that are either the bravest thing the world has ever witnessed or the stupidest thing the world has ever seen. His fatal flaw is his loyalty to his friends. How cool is that? I mean, it's not cool and could be painful, but from an outsider's point of view, it shows that he is a very good person.

Easy Teasy ( June 3, 2012)

This weekend was probably one of the best weekends I've ever had. Although I still had to study for math, this weekend was paradise in comparison to the passing week( especially with Thursday night when I Had to study for bio test) haha. I got an acceptable grade for that but I'm pretty sure Mr. Smart curved the grade. Happy ending for everyone I guess. I don't know why I named this blog post Easy Teasy probably because I thought this weekend compared to the others were easy teasy. I suppose? Well anyway. This weekend I finally discovered how to download books on 4shared and it was AWESOME! I know this is technically illegal, so I won't do it too often. Pirates, haha. Yeah, the more I type this the more guilty I felt. THe author has to send time writing this master piece, and yet I read his work without paying the price? That is unreasonable. I should consider deleting the book soon. But the book was so good. I love the main character, he's quite amazing! I hope he could get together with someone other than his old girlfriend, but still...I really love is character! It's quite amazing. I know I've already said that. Haha.
