Too much of anything is... too much!

Okay, I am seriously going to explode. Being a high school student is harder than I thought it would be. Yeah, it can be fun sometimes, but it totally makes time go faster.. in a not-so-good way. Why faster? With all these homeworks and projects, you have almost NO time left for yourself. Time goes by so fast, and you barely did anything yet. Instead, you waste your time blogging and ranting about it, just like what I'm doing now. I'm supposed to be writing an article for reading and writing, but turns out, MY PARTNER (you know who you are) wouldn't send me the video of all our interviews. I was supposed to write the article yesterday so that I can rest today 'cause I'm sick, but noooo. I'm doing homework on a Sunday again. ;___;

I know, I shouldn't be worried. God knows what to do. I just pray that by the end of the day, everything will be done.
I just found out that tomorrow's already September 20. Next week, it's the Filipino talumpati. Oh gosh.
Plus, we have 2 DOCs. Science and History. God, help me.
Seriously, I don't know if this is too much work, or I'm just not used to it. Anyway, I'll keep this blag, I mean blog, short. No .gif, sorry.
*sigh*




I need a donut.

Dress Up Week

Yesterday was the last day of the VCIS dress up week. We students had to dress up differently for each day of the week. Here's what we had to do:

-For Monday, we had to wear hip socks! Meaning, colorful, mismatched, ABNORMAL socks. I wore my black & white toe socks. It wasn't colorful, though. My creys~ :'(

-Tuesday, we had to dress up as athletes! ~i wuz a sk8er dewd, bro~

-Wednesday, dress up as what we wanted to be when we grow up. Mine was pretty obvious, but my outfit didn't make sense if my guitar wasn't there. I was an indie musician/record producer/band manager/REBEL. I'm so ambitious 8->

-Thursday, we had this weird, wacky hair day, whatever you call it. My hair was like Sierra's and Hayley's combined (according to Sopya). Kewl bro, kewl. :-bd

-And Friday, it was pajama day! I wore pajamas. Duh. But HS-1 and the G7 eventually had to change for PE.

Ms. Katie chooses a winner and gives them some sort of Australian candy. I forgot what it was called but people said it tastes like puto and taffy.
I brought my acoustic guitar to school last Wednesday, and left it there. I completely forgot to bring it home yesterday. Now my guitar's sleeping over for another 2 days in school.

But hey, at least Thirdy R and I were finally able to jam to "1985"! We've been planning to do that since LAST SCHOOLYEAR, and we were finally able to do it last Wednesday.

Yeah, GO PEOPLE WHO AREN'T GOING TO PASAPRISA!
Here, have crabcore!

Music (overused topic, but whatever)

Here's the deal.. I haven't written anything about how I feel about music. Call this entry cliche, I'll still blog about it anyway. Okay. If you know me well enough, you'd know that music practically means EVERYTHING to me. I know, I know, it sounds so overused.
Most people think of music as "a bunch words with a tune and a melody." Come to think of it, it actually is. But that's not what I mean. What I mean is.. how does music play a roll in your life? What does it mean to you?

Well..
Music to me is happiness. If there wasn't music right now, I'd be dead. Well, not really dead. I'd be lifeless. I wouldn't be what I am right now. Music keeps me going. If I'm not playing guitar, I don't know what I'd be doing. I wouldn't be the enthusiastic person I am right now.

Josh Montgomery, guitarist of The Summer Set, said, "Music is my life : ). Music is the only thing that makes sense in this world."

That's exactly how I feel, Josh. When it feels like all my hope is lost, I listen to music. In fact, I'm sure a lot of people do!
Last summer, it felt like nothing made sense anymore. I don't know why, but I hated it. What did I do to make it stop?
I put my earphones on, listened to some Fall Out Boy, and ate chocolate. It worked.
It's true. Music can change one's mood. Having a bad day? Listen to music to get your mind off of things. It works every time.

And NO, this post is not meant to be "emo."

Usually, when I'm sad, I listen to sad songs... which makes me even more sad.
Bored, I listen to instrumentals. Or anything, actually.
Angry, I listen to SCREAMO or slow songs. Weird.
Stressed, I'd probably listen to Christian rock, like Casting Crowns or Switchfoot.
Happy, I listen to anything!
But sometimes, I just listen to whatever I wanna listen to!

"Music puts everything you wish you could say into words and melody. Music takes the moments you'll never forget and makes them permanent." 
- Stephen Gomez, bassist, The Summer Set

"Music is... organized chaos!" 
- John Gomez, guitarist, The Summer Set

“Music = Freedom” 
- Gabe Saporta, singer, Cobra Starship

Music is more than a chord progression and a catchy tune. Some people write music 'cause it's pretty much the only thing they can do.
Music isn't just entertainment. For some people, like me, music is like my own personal therapist.
Worship songs make me calm down. This way, God speaks to me through music.
Yes, praise and worship is one of the best things in the world.

There's this music video; it's by 30 Seconds To Mars. The title's "Closer To The Edge."
This, by far, is probably the best music video of 2010. I don't know if you agree, but this is just amazing. You'll know why when you watch it.


If the video doesn't show up, you can click here to watch it. If you're watching it, be sure to watch the whole video. Trust me, you'll love it. Okay, maybe not, but.. you get the point.

Well, that pretty much ends everything. I just hope I didn't bore you or waste your time. It was YOU who decided to read this anyway. I just had to let it all out.
Plus, I've written down another thing on my bucket list:
Write at least ONE original song.
'Yall should also have this.

OK THANKS FOR READING! BYE!

Epic day was epic

As you can see from the title, this day was AWESOME. If yesterday sucked, today rocked. First, I wore my GK shirt! I was wearing it like a boss B-)

Second, our group (me, Thirdy D, James, and Jed), BISCUIT COKLAT CHIP won the debate against Oreo! Their arguments were good, btw. Good job, guys. :-bd

And third, we had a surprise pizza partaaayyy for Ms. Laylabaloooo! It didn't last long, though. Well, I contributed 100 pesos for 1 slice of pizza. I'm not complaining!
I'm glad it went as we planned. Actually, Thirdy just told us about it during PACE time the day before!

IT WAS AWESOME. During R&W class, physically fit couldn't help but talk about it. She also skipped most of art class 'cause she was busy exercising, running up and down the stairs. PEACE, DUDE.
Well anyway, Ms. Layla was totally surprised when we brought the pizza in and started singing "Happy Birthday" right after her class! Then, *GROUP HUUUG!* :')
After that, we prayed for the food, and the pizza disappeared in less than a minute.
I attempted to get 2 slices and tried to hide behind a desk so that nobody could see me. Turns out, I heard someone say, "HEY, YANA GOT 2 SLICES!"
When I heard that, I was like, "sdhfkebjikfhdbvkjhv OMG I'M DEAD."
Then, just as I was about to bite the 2nd slice, Sweet said, "HEY, SOFIA WASN'T ABLE TO GET." Yeah, I was nice enough to give her that slice of pizza.
Physically fit brought the soda in. It was on top of my desk, so after a few people got their drinks, I got the bottle and brought it to a different desk. Julio O. spilled some root beer on Thirdy R's charger, that's why.

Before Ms. Layla left the classroom, she told us that she's been praying for a ~*surprise*~. She was expecting a different ~*surprise*~, but our ~*surprise*~ was great too. Awww!

GOD IS JUST AWESOME, RIGHT?

A lot of people left. They took pizza, and left. Can you believe that?! Well, I was in the mood for partaaayying.




It all started when Marge told me to go in front of Ange's camera and start dancing. WE FIST PUMPED, OH YEAHH. Marge was even holding a cup with soda in it while dancing! It felt so... club-ish.






And then I started acting all tipsy 'cause I didn't usually drink soda. Then Thirdy R. played music.. which made me fist pump some more!




If you weren't there... this is what it sorta looked like.

Pretty crazy, right?
Who were there? NONE OTHER THAN THE REBELS! *RRRRREEEEBBEEEELLLL*
Not all of them were dancing, though. It was mainly me, Sofia, Marge, Cleyanne, Ange, and Thirdy R who were dancing. MAAANNN WE WERE HYPER! After too much fist pumps (with a bit of headbanging), I got a headache. I WAS SOOO SWEATY.

Now, I have the right to have the shirt that says, "Sorry for partying" :P Seriously, there's a shirt like that.
Well, seriously... THAT WAS FUN. Let's do that again soon, ok? :-bd Christmas Partaaay? Ok. AWESOME.

Well, it was math class after the partaaayyying. I was too tired to understand what was happening. And then we had a super kaduper short Science class. Nurse Abby came in late, so I played JAMLEGEND(!!!!) while waiting. Can you believe... I got a 98% on Canon Rock on Insane mode? That's the highest percentage I got for Canon Rock on Insane!

Then dismissal. PRESH WUZ THERE! Then I played goodminton (I'm so corny, omg).
After that, Thirdy R & I jammed to "That's What You Get"! YIZZ, I finally know how to play the whole song on drums. :P Awesome Yana is awesome. And I finally played guitar in school for the first time in 2643871264931864913648736493186493146913846038467319864.75 years!


Thanks to this day, I'm starting to love high school.

8th September

Can I just start off by saying that THIS IS DAY IS JUST... UGHH!!! Okay, so this day started off HORRIBLY. My dad woke me up around 5am and asked my why my window was opened. I was like, "Huh?" Then he told me his cellphone was missing. So was his wallet.

So I looked at the window, and I saw that the window didn't have any glass on it anymore. The window blinds were also up. I went to my parents' room, and the files of my dad on the drawer of the PC table were messed up.
Ok, so it's like this... my PC is blocking part of my window, so it's kinda hard to enter my room through the window. You have to be about Sofia's size to fit. PLUS, right under my window, my 2 guitars were there. My electric was on the guitar stand on the left near the PC while my acoustic was right beside the electric, leaning against the TV stand.
When I woke up, my electric was leaning against my acoustic! Then my dad asked me, "Yana, where's your phone?" So I checked the TV stand 'cause that's where I usually place my phone. OMG IT WASN'T THERE. So YES, MY PHONE GOT STOLEN. Not only that, but also my brother's PSP. I'm 100% sure it was a kid who broke in. That kid needs Jesus. Yeah, he/she went in my parents' room, and ignored the Technomarine watches.
Then dawn came. It was about 6am. I looked out the window... it looked like the thief wanted to get the Pokemon cards, but I guess he forgot it. He left it lying on the roof. He also left my dad's wallet lying on the roof. I guess he didn't find anything interesting inside. :))
Whatever, I should stay positive. Die in a fire.

Oh my gosh, I know I shouldn't be saying that just for a phone, but... UGH!!! I left for school, and the police were in our house. My dad wanted the SWAT team to come, but I told him not to 'cause it was too OA if he does. Plus, the SWAT's useless... The day was just getting started.
hfkasfdhkadhsadfhksadhhsadjh

My brother didn't go to school 'cause he's really sick. It's so weird.
PACE time was okay. I got pitik in the cheeks 'cause I said, "TITASAWERR" (idk how you spell it)  to teacher Cecile.
Anyway, school was fine. We had new seating arrangements :-bd
Now, I'm with Thirdy R, Cleyanne, and physically fit! Some people were upset about their seats, though. Sorry, guys. :'(
Well, we didn't have math time! It was cool to take a break. We had Pastor... Mark... (was it?) in class.
Then I played badminton. Now my calves hurt.
Guess what, guise? I'm still wearing my uniform! It's almost 9pm and I'm still wearing it. I'm itchy.

On the good side, MY GK SHIRT HAS ARRIVED! YOU DON'T KNOW HOW HAPPY I WAS WHEN IT CAME.


man, look at how many people care



OH YEAH! HAPPY BIRTHDAY, MS LAYLA(BALOO)!!!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU, HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU, HAPPY BIRTHDAY, HAPPY BIRTHDAYY...  HAAAAAAAPPYY BIIIIRTHDAAAY TOOOOOOOOOOO YOUUUUU(piyok)UUUUUU!!!

HERE YA GO. PETER GRIFFIN DANCING TO "BIRD IS THE WORD"

September

Well, well, well, water we have here? HAHAHA GET IT? Oh, you don't. Well.. it was worth a try... Anyway, it's September already! I know, I'm late. Why? Well, my dad isn't allowing me to use the internet on Mondays-Thursdays, unless I need to do a research that's due on the next day. UNFAIR, RIGHT? Considering the fact that I'm already a Freshman. I'm already a Freshman, and my parents still give me a bedtime (that I do not follow). Well, I shall save my rants for next time. Anyway, I wasn't able to blog yesterday.. not that I wanna blog everyday or anything like that. I just wanna give a quick recap of what happened while I was gone.

- PACEs, obviously
- my finger got caught by a locker
- I lost the papers inside my History folder
- "OMG MARE!!! 3, 2, 1... FOREVER 21!!!"
- I was able to make-up for the History exam
- I thought the "Y-chart" was supposed to look like a Philippine flag
- we watched Ms. Universe
- in P&P, we answered the question, "What is one big mistake that you've made in your life, and what can you do to make it right?" it was so awesome hearing people's stories. So, so heart-warming... and Jeremy was crowned Ms. Philippines. I'm so proud :')
- ▲I drew triangles in art class▲ o0o0o0o0o0o it was fun. By fun, I mean DISTRACTING. I couldn't stop drawing triangles all over the paper.
- Thirdy R. and I switched lunch. I gave him my lunch money, he gave me his super kaduper good chicken!!! We're doing that everyday now :-bd

Plus, today, we had debates! Chips Ahoy vs Oreo! That was THE most fun debate I've had in a long time :))
Biscuit Coklat Chip ftw!
We played soccer during PE. It was owsome.


Anyway, happy Yana is happy because I finished the Self Test in Science! I celebrated by playing "A *PARTAAAYYY* Song"
BUT, while I was answering in the learning center, Jed and Ange went inside and their lips were bleeding! All because they were playing basketball with beasts! Cleyanne was injured, too. :))
Well... I feel bad for them though.
That pretty much ends everything. Here, have a Gaskarth.




OMG LOOK AT HIS SHIRT ON THE 2nd .GIF! And look at my banner thing. Look at his shirt again! And look at the banner!
