I and my groupmates created a script for a play, and I'm supposed to be German. I researched a bit and found out that:
1) "d" is "t"
2) "th" is either "t" (for a sharp "th") or "z" (for a soft "th").
3) "w" is "v"
4) "v" is "f"
5) speak deep in the throat and your "d's" and "r's" will take care of themselves.
I'm finding that it's not that hard after all! ^_^

I'm So Excited!
I'm so excited about what's about to happen in my story! Some people say that to write a good story, the basic outline should be set out before the actually writing. But with me and my sister, we just write what comes to our heads, and think of beginnings, plots, and endings afterwards! I prefer it like that because you can get surprised too. It's like reading your own story, the only difference is that you're the one writing the ending. And now I'm excited at how my characters will develop throughout the books!!! ^_^

Update
I'm writing with my left hand. It's pretty hard, but I'll have to survive like this for four weeks. Yes, FOUR WEEKS. That's practically a month. The reason? I caught a soccer ball wrong (I'm the goalie), and got a fracture for my pains. And now I need to have a cast. Yes, a cast. Everyone asks me if I'm worried, and I say that everyone but me is. And that is the whole truth. Other people sympathize and then try to reserve a place to sign. I decided to save half the arm for friends, and the other arm for family and family-like friends. That's all.

Sing Sing Violin
Being homeschooled, I have lots of time on my hands. And since I've used up my store of waiting books (Eragon, Eldest, Brisingr, and The Titan's Curse), I decided to try the violin by learning Twinkle Twinkle Little Star online. I found a very helpful YouTube video where the dude taught really clearly. After a while, I could play Twinkle Twinkle with, ahem, sort of strained ease. After that, I thought I could play the world!!! Sadly, that theory soon turned to dust as I sought out to learn Christmas songs ahead of time. Right now I'm looking for new songs to play on the violin. And how I hope I can find them. Anyways, that's what's taking my time up, and I must end this blog, 'cause I gotta look for songs!!! Cheerio!

March 28, feelings, and Summer
Well, school's over and my summer has begun. I'm not sure on how I feel. I'll actually miss school. It'd be nice to go to school and learn lots of stuff without having tests about them. I mean, I'll just forget the uninteresting things after I take the test and remember only the things that struck me as interesting. Anyway, I would just like to reflect on my first year in a conventional school and High School. It was fun, depressing, awesome, and just like people said High School would be like. It gave me hope, challenges, laughter, tears, and also a chance to get closer to God.
I'd like to thank my best friends there too. If you're reading this, you know who you are. School taught me this: Best friends come in three different ways. Either you consider them as a best friend, but they don't consider you as a best friend, or they consider you as their best friend, but you don't consider them as your best friend, or you both consider each other as best friends. I have experienced all three.
Ok, summer. What will I do??? Of course, there will be times when I get to see my classmates, like in Thirdy R.'s resort. But what about my friends in Grades 5, 6, and 7? I dunno. Facebook, I suppose.
Right. A plan. I need it. Right now, I am cleaning my room and have decided to take a break. When I'm done, I'll do computer and write. Is that how my whole summer will go?!? I suppose so, except in May, where I'll spend three weeks in Cagayan De Oro.
Anyway, like Watson's doctor said, blogging about everything that happens in my life will help. I wonder if that's true. I can try it. But there's also that fact that Watson was from the army, was shot, and lived all alone on an army pension. And I have not experienced, and most certainly do not want to experience, any of those. Oh, well. :D
Ok, I suppose I must go now. So long, peops. :D

High School...
Well, what did I learn from High School? The first thing I learned was that it wasn't what I had expected it to be. But then, everyone says that.
Ok, let's get to the point. I learned that the world won't always like me. Hey, don't worry, I have good stuff that I learned too. Like, I learned how to spell hierarchy and I learned the physical properties of the world and I learned that the square root of 49 is 7 (but I knew that anyway.). Not only that, but I learned what it meant to be perseverant in all things. I also learned how to make TRUE friends in school. I learned that if I can be myself and get the good friends that I have now, then I don't have to change a thing about me to earn those "other people" as my friends. Speaking of being myself, I also learned the real meaning of "Just Be Yourself".
So, to sum it all up, I learned this, and I learned that. I found out what it meant to be this, and I also found out what it meant to be that. I picked up some funny stories on the way, as well as stories that still make my blood boil with anger. It's true when people say that High School is a mix of emotions, and now that the school year is ending, I must say that I've been through all of them.
I'd now like to end my blog saying THANK YOU to all my teachers:
Ms. Layla
Ms. Babette
Ms. Janet
Mr. Ryan
Ms. Germaine
Ms. Cecile
Ms. Katie
Ms. Linny
Coach JC
(occasionally) Coach Kevin
Note: This isn't the end of my blogging, so, if you still want to read, well, you're free to do so! :)

Well, hello, peeps...
I haven't blogged for fun in a long time now. I'm actually online now because it's Prayer and Fasting tomorrow, and I won't be able to go on the computer except for school. It's almost quarter exams, now, and I'm freaking out because of PACEs.
I just had a random thought.... What if the black dot I put on my finger became a real life mole? I made it real big, too. It's so black.... oh well. Rant, rant, rant. Then again, ranting goes with raving, and I am NOT raving.
Oh well, until another day, peeps. :))

How Bullying Affects a Student
Let's see... I can think of many ways of how bullying affects a student. Let me share a few with you. One, when a person is bullied, they will begin to hate. They will first have the tendency to "act cool", you know, as if no one was even talking. Now, that facade may work for a while, but inside, there will be an anger for the bully that will be just bursting to get out. By the end of the school year, the victim will have been eaten up thoroughly by the hatred for the bully, allowing no recompense. And that, my friends is very, very bad.
Before I start on my second point, please allow me to tell you one small fact. Bullying is not just physical and verbal. It can also be when a group of people don't talk to you for some reason. Now let me expound on that. When a group of people don't talk to you, it feels lonely. Harsh. As if you were invisible and unknown. Sometimes it feels ok to have a low profile. Other times, you wish you could find some sort of friendship to ease your dragging schooldays. Not only do you have boring days at school, you also have the fact that no one really knows who you are. And there might be times when you just want to say,"Hey, I exist, look at me for a second!" and then think,"What's the use?" That is what happens to victims of the silent type of bullying. They start thinking that nobody will ever even try to know them, and that they shouldn't even try. (but, you know, that shouldn't mean that you should act as they do. You should still be yourself!)
Now, not only do the victim students get affected. The bullies do too! You know why? Because by bullying others, they begin to degrade themselves, with no respect for self-esteem. They probably don't even know that what they do is leaving a mark on more people than just the victim. That's why Anti-Bullying is for both victims and bullies, because they both get affected.
