Wow, yesterday was a crazy, crazy day. Lots of running around, but mostly taking tons of bubble tea orders, stirring bubble teas, putting caps on bubble teas, and serving bubble teas. Lots of bubble tea talk yesterday, and in fact I even bought two myself. They were actually pretty good.
Now I'm super tired. May's ending, and June's 'starting' on Tuesday, which means I'm going to start going into Exam Study and Preparation mode now. I don't want to... but I have to. I'll be studying starting tomorrow (kind of LATE for some people who started mid-May) but now all the major May events are over, I'm going to start preparing for Exams. My exams are from June 17-18, [weekend], and then June 21-23. Then I'm off. I only have 17 more days to study, a little over two weeks. I hope that's enough time.
My sister's receiving Confirmation today. Yay for her~
Until next time, see ya.

Edmundian Barbeque was a blast.
The Edmundian Barbeque we had today was pretty awesome; it was basically a way for the new Edmundians (Like me) to meet up with the other Senior Edmundians we'll be working with next year. It was great way to socialize and have dinner as well. It wasn't really a barbeque, more of what they call a "Pizza Party", but whatever. It was fun.
We got our Yearbooks two days ago, and I'm actually working really hard to fill its signature pages with signatures and messages from classmates and friends. Last year, I only covered one and half pages, which was pretty disappointing. Actually, I love getting signatures and reading the messages again when I have time during the future. Right now, I have around four pages filled, (record broken from last year!!!) and I'm planning to make it five or maybe even six by the end of next week. (I probably wouldn't have so many people to sign, but whatever).
SFX's annual Bazaar and Singathon is tomorrow, and I'm super pumped. I'll be there at around 9:00 to 9:30-ish tomorrow and probably won't be home until twelve hours later, 9:00PM. I don't know, I might actually decide to stay the whole time (until 10PM...) I have a little bit of homework I need to do so I guess I'll bring that tomorrow. It'll be so worth it. I can't wait!!!

Bazaar... and other exciting things.
Our parish's annual Bazaar and Singathon is in SIX DAYS. I seriously can't believe it. It seemed so far away before... but now is coming closer than ever! I can't wait. I'll be at the Youth Loft selling Bubble Tea and other stuff... but it's going to be awesome. CAN'T WAIT!!!
On other notes, I'm going to Metro tomorrow. Hopefully I can get an iPod. My old MP3 seriously looks really bad, if you look at PROPERTIES:
Free memory: 000.33 MB
>_< Well, you can't expect much from a five-year-old MP3 that only has 512MB of memory.
An iPod nano with 8GB is already plenty. I hope I can get one tomorrow =D

I've got 'MOMENTUM'... well, would like to anyways.
Well, at least that's what I wish. Momentum is a MOGUL ski camp during the summer that I would really LOVE to attend, but I have a couple problems with this:
1) I don't know if I'm good enough for MOGULS [even the beginner kind]
2) Cost?
and worst of all...
3) Parents won't let me.
What a shame. Alexandre Bilodeau will be coaching there, and it would be so... AMAZING if I got coached by a gold medalist (and role model!!!). Still... I don't think I'm good enough... and my parents want me to do kung fu. They don't want anything to do with skiing. (Why not? I want to ski, not KUNG FU.)
Well.. I guess I can keep dreaming.

PE was 'electrifying.'
Shuffle, shuffle, ZAP! Shuffle, shuffle, ZAP! That was basically what we did for half of PE class today.
Let's see where it all began...
WE WERE BORED. We were outside, playing ultimate frisbee in the sizzling, hot heat. Bad combination. And plus, I don't even like ultimate frisbee. So it was terrible. We were terribly bored, and the PE teacher was talking with some other teacher.
And then we started walking, and we touched the METAL go-post on the field. ZAP! Static electricity. And then... we shuffled again... ZAP! Pretty soon, a whole group of us were doing it. Wow... that was pretty awesome.
Never before had PE turned to science class. And never before had static electricity been SO fun. [I'm not saying it isn't dangerous. What we were doing is a mild form of static electricity. Kids - don't try this at home... JUST KIDDING!]

Youth Day was AWESOME.
This year's Youth Day - with the theme Radical Commitment, was not disappointing at ALL. In fact, it was one of the best Youth Days I went to.
To begin with, I woke up on a gorgeous Saturday morning at around 6:30 AM. (OK, maybe that wasn't so great). After a short ride to Archbishop Carney, we were instantly granted our t-shirts and name tags, and then it's into the gym for our first session!
The first session was filled with many loud and happy songs, and a great and touching talk by Jesse Manibusan. After that, it was an exciting dance Divine-Time session in the Multipurpose Room - what a way to get some exercise before lunch AND praise God with PRAISE T.E.A.M.!
At lunch we had delicious hot dogs, chips and juice, as we cheered on our favorite "team" in the Youth vs. Men in Black soccer game. The Youth won this year in a surprising 2-1 win.
After lunch, it's going to Taize Prayer by myself - it was a soothing and amazing session filled with calming music and readings, considering all the crazy events of this morning. After Taize, I went back to the gym for social time.
Social time was also a highlight. I was just strolling around, bought a t-shirt, and watched the talent show that was going on in the gym. It was amazing.
The Mass with Archbishop Miller and the music continued to make this day a wonderful one. But the best was still yet to come...
At dinner (pasta, cookies and salad!!!) we went back to the gym for the closing session. More music, and more talks by Jesse Manibusan, and everyone, including me, was especially hyped out! Running around the gym in a human CHAIN, screaming, jumping up and down, and constantly standing up to cheer and clap were symptoms of this hyped out behavior!
Wow, after an amazing day, we finally drove home. It was an amazing, but tiring day. My voice was hoarse, and I had to sleep.
Well, that was a really bad summary of an amazing 12 hour event, but of course, in order to experience the full awesome-ness this event had to offer, of course you had to go!
Can't wait for next year's Youth Day! I'm sure it'll be just as amazing, if not more! =D
Pictures are coming to Facebook soon.

Today was...
Wow. So my sister didn't have school but I did, but luckily it was a B Schedule, I got off at 2:00 PM. Today was really pointless because we pretty much watched movies or did homework in all the classes because none of the teachers wanted to give homework on Mayfair weekend. And that's probably why we got a B Schedule, because they had to finish setting up for VC's major fundraiser tomorrow, Mayfair.
I won't be going, because I have the gigantic Archdiocesan event: Youth Day! I'm so excited, and I can't wait. Although Mayfair is a great day for socializing and meeting up with friends on a weekend as well as having fun and chilling with all the games there, I guess I don't have to go every year. Maybe next year.
I'm so tired, and I figure I pretty much have to get TONS of sleep tonight. I'll have to wake up at around 6:45 AM tomorrow, and around 7:00 AM on Sunday for setting up for Mother's Day Brunch. So, I'll have to get TONS of sleep to make up for all the lost sleep this weekend. ^^ But, on the bright side, I'm super excited for both events happening this weekend so I can't wait! Even waking up early will be worth it!

MOTE was amazing.
The annual school play at St. Francis Xavier School - Missionary of the East - was definitely amazing. And to think on how many hours all of the cast and crew put into it, I think it was pretty worth it. Too bad they can't do another performance... ENCORE! =D
The sets were amazing, the songs were amazing, the the storyline was pretty entertaining as well. Overall, I think it was extremely well done.
Dinner at Ken's afterwards kicked off the amazing night. Good thing I don't have homework tonight...
Tired. Until next time!
OH. And TWO MORE DAYS UNTIL YOUTH DAY!!! =D

Youth Day in five days!
Haha, I'm so excited. I've been looking forward to Youth Day for... how long now?
ONLY FIVE MORE DAYS!!!!
ONLY FIVE MORE DAYS!!!!
Yikes... mistakes in French video.
I haven't even seen the whole movie yet and I already saw two mistakes.
The first one was that one of our group members got cropped out of the scene, apparently he walked to far to the left and totally walked right off the screen. The second problem was that we forgot to film the other half of the "phone conversation" we were supposed to have. Oh well... I don't know what to do right now, but it pretty much seems that we'll have to do another filming session. *sighs*

Space Center was...
Our field trip to the space center wasn't excellent. It wasn't bad either, but I thought it could have been better.
We did a number of activities and such, which were rather interesting, but not really. And, we were going to ride the Mars simulator, which broke. Luckily it got fixed. At first I was nervous, but it turned out it wasn't really that interesting at all. It might have been fun for an 8 year-old, but for a 14 to 15 year old, not necessarily.
One of the parts that were sort of interesting was the Star Theater. That was one of the best parts. In conclusion, the Space Center was kind of small, and the trip was OK, but not the best one I've had.

French filming... a success?
Well, after three and a half hours, we're done. DONE. PERIOD. Well, it was the work after cameras running out of batteries, people forgetting lines, people laughing during EVERY scene, and cameras running out of memory, and us running all over the place. It was tiring. Really tiring.
Well, glad that's over. Now we have to do the editing and stuff, and hope that's successful. Fingers crossed for a good mark, everyone!
Now I'm out for dinner. I've had enough yelling for DAYS.

Still waiting...
Wow... it's so hard to wait for an hour. And plus, I haven't even had lunch yet. Only 50-ish more minutes....
French Video Project!
Wow, another new blog! I think this is the second one that I have... but oh well. The more the merrier!
Today me and my group of friends are filming our French project, entitled Vacances a Paris. It's sunny right now, so that's a good sign. I hope they'll all come on time... a couple minutes late is alright, but not if they're like HALF AN HOUR late =.="
This will be another film with "Phoenix Productions", our filming group that me and my friend Paulo Dancel came up with a couple weeks ago. This will be our second video with Phoenix Productions!
This morning my grandma was getting so angry, she was just saying all these things and showing her disapproval of friends coming over to film. I totally disagree. "Never come to MY house to film ever again!" Yeah, right. Like that's going to happen. Where ELSE can we film?
The guys are supposed to come in an hour, and I am so excited. I don't know what I should do until then, I've been trying to burn three hours already. I can't wait to start filming!
Until next time, see ya.
