Spelling Demons

How can you tell a spelling demon? 

They're the words that look wrong even when they're right. I know you can spell all right because it's the opposite of all wrong. Maybe you were lucky enough to learn that a lot is two words, rarefyhas that pesky e, and sacrilegious has a whole lot of letters.

There are still tons of words lying (laying?) in wait for you.

 Here are 10 common spelling demons that have no doubt been deviling you for years:

1. traveler. The British spell it with two l's, but Americans don't double-up, except in accented syllables (such as controlled, referral, propeller).
2. coolly. Here, you're just adding the suffix to the root. (I know it still looks funny. But it's right. Trust me.)
3. embarrass. Two r's and two s's. But then again, we have harass.
4. unparalleled. Memorize this sucker. There's no other way around it.
5. nickel. Is there any justice in the world?
6. glamour. We can deal with this … but what about glamorous?
7. resuscitate. That's why people learn CPR; they're too busy being heroes (not heros) to spell what they just did.
8. genealogy. Like its first cousins mineralogy and analogy, one of a few words that doesn't end with -ology.
9. pavilion. That's what we get for taking words from the French. Cotillion andvermilion also pose difficulty.
10. dysfunction. Because so many people have it, better learn how to spell it (maybe a cure is easier?).

(Giggles)

I've been mastering this for some time. And I'll make sure to myself that I will never be deviled by those words above :)

Have a great day everyone!

I am thankful now that...

I saw my name listed as one of the honor students AGAIN in our year level.

Hooray to me! I'm so happy!

I also thank God for this wonderful blessing, for guiding me, giving me strength and the knowledge to do my best to be part of this achievement.

That's not the only reason why I am so glad today. At  first quarter I made a good start, I was placed as 5th. Not bad. But when 2nd Quarter came, my rank went down, I was then placed 8th. Now, this 3rd quarter of  the school year I can't believe I came up to 4th. It's a miracle!

Well, I've always wanted this. I am so blessed, so, so blessed. I don't know what else to say. I just want to share with you my happiness, my bliss!

I made once more my parents proud! I will continue this until the very END.

So help me, God.

My plans this coming summer vacation

I always have something in mind, who doesn't?
Part of it is planning different activities this coming summer vacation so I won't get bored while I'm away from school.

These are the list of the possible things that may happen throughout this summer:

1. Print my own designed shirt.

I really wanted to have one a long time ago. I just need resources and money, and hopefully I will have them.

Have a preview of what I have drawn for my own T-shirt (:

If you can notice they are all different names,

I have included my full name and the nicknames

my friends keep calling me, 

and the largest one is my pseudo name. 

At the back of the shirt is how people will recognize me (:

2. Finish my unfinished novel.

The book is entitled SPY PRINCESS: THE RICH MAN'S SECRET.

A friend of mine had given me an idea of what will be the outlook of the cover. I am thankful for her willingness. Now, all I have to do is to edit some of it. Look below.

(Hmm.. better if I am that one in the cover.)

3. Keep my body in shape.

I just want to be more productive, healthier, sexier, and hot! err.... too much?

In short, I just want to keep my body in shape ( and eat more healthy foods) (:

 4. Enroll in a baking/ cooking class.

It would be so much fun. I need to practice more in cooking, it's a shame if my fiancée will ask me to cook something and I don't know how. Haha! And besides it's good to impress someone that you know a lot of things, and meeting new people from that place means exposing yourself in this happy world!

5. Read and collect more books!

I'm a book addict, I can't deny it. It's one reason why I had the urge in making one on my own. 

6. Expand more my vocabulary and learn Spanish. 

I know I still need to practice more in order to have something better (:

... and those are just some of what I am planning. I'll tell you more when I have a new idea.

Have a nice day!

Selling Raffle Tickets to the Grade 4 Students

Remember my post last Wednesday?

These are the photos of the grade 4 pupils who loved to be included in the picture taking. 

 (Me, at the right side)

 (Poor Janred, he was pushed)

(LOL. The kid covered us at the back)

If everyday was like that, I'm sure all my stress will be gone easily when I arrive home (:

I love those kids!

Exhausting Wednesday!

This morning we sell last minute raffle tickets to the elementary students so it would be sold out.
As we reached their rooms, many grade 4 students were already waiting for us to buy those tickets.

While collecting their payments and waiting for their stubs I asked Janred to bring out his digital camera and take pictures of what I and the other officers are doing.

The pupils saw the gadget, and because they are KIDS,  they started to compress and  pushed themselves just to be included in the picture. It was like a stampede, but they were all happy and smiling so widely. We all had a wonderful group picture together, and because of them the tickets were sold out.

We were able to earn 1,500.00 pesos today, plus the money we earned last Monday and Tuesday. amazing, huh? But we were so haggard and sweating out going to different rooms just to sell those tickets, not to mention that the sun is up so hot.

After achieving making the raffle tickets sold out, we started fixing our booth, ours is Marriage booth.

In order to wed couples, other students will list their friends' names and who they will be wed with. Then the Marchall, us, have to find, chase and catch them in order to bring them to our booth. But that was never been easy. They will hurt you, bite you, make themselves escape in order to be free from us and won't let themselves get married to the one they are partnered with, especially when they hate that person.

It was so exhausting! My black shoes were also destroyed because of the never ending chase with those crazy students. Phew!

At least it was enjoying!

Oh, and, this was the last they of the booth fair and will be the last time for us seniors to have this kind of event. No more like this in college.

I'm going to miss this fun and adventure!

Must be the wackiest day of his life

Hello there!

Starting yesterday we had our booth fair in our school as one of the activities  for the celebration of  the school's anniversary. ALLS is turning 19! 

and our section was assigned for the MARRIAGE BOOTH.

I didn't have any photos from yesterday's fun and excitement, only today. And I was so glad I have captured happy faces. Just like the grade 4 student below. I forgot his name. I only knew him as "Trudis". Anyway, I took pictures with him because he's so cute, bubbly and FUNNY.

 I asked him if he could take a picture with me. At first he was shy, then he finally agreed. He can't have a formal picture because he's laughing (: He still looks adorable though.

 I guess this kid is a joker. Making wacky shots (:

Finally, we had a proper picture together. I love this kid!

Terrific Tuesday!

These previous days I have to sleep very late at night. I slept around 11PM for 4 consecutive days now.

I feel GOOD and at the same time BAD about it.

GOOD,
        because I have finished the first chapter of the story I am creating entitled SPY PRINCESS: THE RICH MAN'S SECRET. Hoping this book will be successful and publish to many who love to read. I want to share my joy with them, at the same time I want to be a great writer and a novelist.

BAD,
        because I'm having huge eyebags, and I don't like it. I lack sleep and I want to fulfill it when I'm in class. But of course, I won't do that.

(Yawn!) Lastly, I told myself I will sleep early tonight.

Good night!

Countdown

I am counting those days ...

19 days to go and it will by my final examination for the last quarter of the school year. (March 7)
33 days to go and it's my graduation day! (March 25)
[Note: Saturdays and Sundays were not included in counting]

40 days to for my dad's arrival! (March 20)
110 days to go and I'm turning 17! (May 26)
[Note: Saturdays and Sundays were included in counting]

HOORAY TO ME!

Morbid Monday!

I felt mortified in front of the whole student body today. Early this morning we had our rehearsal for our field demonstration. There's a dance number that 10 selected students from each year level will be introduced and dance for that number. I wasn't chosen by my adviser because I was absent the day she had listed the students who will participate.

I felt bad because I always wanted to join the final dance of the program and now I wasn't included. This was supposed to be my final year performing in ALLS.

Not until my adviser approached me and said, "Why don't you join the final dance? Go ahead and join." My mood brighten up when she said that. But I still felt the worry that I may not be allowed to dance because the  number of the participants in the senior year will exceed. She asked others to join as well. I was so happy she lets me dance.

Then the practice started. The seniors were introduced through the microphone. The 13 of us were standing on stage. Other students from different levels were watching us as well to see the dance number. Suddenly, our directress counted us. Oh, no! I knew this will going to happen. She said she only needed 10 and the 3 other students have to back out. But i don't want to back out!

No one wants to leave and the directress was madly waiting for us. I swallowed my pride and stepped back and went down the stage.

It was such a shame!

But I have to be fair. It was my fault also because I was absent the other day when they were looking for participants.

So, I let this happened. Geez!

Good thing it was replaced by a very nice compliment from a teacher regarding my performance and my good grades in school. All the bad vibes easily gone away.

I still thank God for this.

Amen.

What's up, Doc?

Last Friday my dentist contacted me and told me to be in her clinic the following day.

I DID.

As I enter her clinic, she was attending a patient who was seated on the dental chair. There was also a patient before me waiting for her turn and her teeth has to be re sealant.

After SEVERAL minutes it was another patient's turn. The one who I am next with.

My dentist was not yet done sealing the patient's teeth. I was totally bored, so I gave up. I waited an hour and a half for nothing!

I have to go back home for I'm already hungry and I want to eat my lunch, and besides I have a rehearsal in school later that time. I still have to prepare the things needed to be brought there. What I did is I approached my dentist and asked if I can just go back tomorrow.

Tomorrow was today, Sunday.

 Finally, I was the first patient who came to her clinic. As I was seated on the dental chair, I opened my mouth, she checked for a FEW seconds and said, "Your braces can now be removed. Let's reschedule when you want to take them off."

That's it?! That's the appointment all about?!
Of course I can't ask her to remove it that time because I didn't bring any money for the labor.
For all I know is she will do some adjustments and I don't have to pay any amount.
The only reaction I could give was to smile and said "okay". But that was totally not okay for me!

I waited longer than to be assisted! Shoot! If I only knew this was going to happen I should have asked her to assist me first before the patient before me!

This was not the only time I have encountered an experience like this with her. She's totally ridiculous. Doesn't she know about time management?

Ow, gawd! I was totally pissed off!

Night Rehearsal

The theme of this coming Foundation Day in our school is "Filled with gLee" the musical! All the students from kindergarten up to high school are required to join the field demonstration. Each year level will present a number. They will dance and sing some scenes from the gLee show.


In our batch, we are to perform Britney Spear's part as watched in season 2 of gLee. Our songs are; 'Baby one more time', 'I'm a slave for you', 'Me against the music'.

We had our dress rehearsal tonight. And here are some shots from our practice:

I'm the one on the left with white sneakers (:

All of us were exhausted. The rehearsal was a success, especially those elementary students. We all went home at 8pm.

I'll tell you more when I post photos from the main event. Our program will be held on February 12, 2011 @ 6pm.

(:

Blogless

Not to say I no longer have a blog. Just that I am "less" anything to blog. Can't think of a thing. I hate it when that happens.
