English et al.
I just failed my first-ever quiz in English 4. Well, everyone in our class failed. Our teacher, Mrs. Oblepias, is just way strict with essays. She's not a bad teacher, don't get me wrong. She's actually good! It's just that she's terrible when in comes to scrutinating and checking papers. Somehow, getting this 3/15 score in our quiz challenged me to exert more effort on our next requirements. Next time, I'm gonna get the closest I can get to perfect!!! (I have this Ash Ketchum attitude again. Oh well, at least Pokemon gives me a positive outlook in life. hahaha. ^_^)
Well, aside from failing on my first-ever English quiz, I finally got a new TV in my room! At last, I can finally watch the shows I want in my room. At peace. Unlike my old TV that has a really choppy signal and resolution. ^_^

Japanimation... and school
Last Sunday (By the way, I studied and made my homework that Saturday because I wanted my Sunday to be as "free" as possible.), after planning for about a month to go to Japanimation (A shop selling anime stuff, obviously.) which is near my Lolo's house, I was finally able to make it there! (Thanks Anjo for "advertising" that shop to me. I really enjoyed "digging for Pokemon". hahaha.) This was the kind of shop that I like. everything was mixed together, and you need to dig a box-like container filled with different things and find something unexpectedly. I love that kind of shopping, it's really exciting. It's my favorite kind of way to shop, actually. ^_^ (Kamae says to herself: Hello, Kamae. You only shop for Pokemon, remember? You never really shop for anything else? Hahaha.)
Then comes Monday. Guess what? I've been voted that dreaded "P-position" (Go figure. It has 9 letters, and it is not related to Pokemon... hahaha. To Ron and Anjo: I guess I'm welcome in your club. hahaha.). Hopefully, Graviton won't be as bad as Strontium. I got major Psyduck migranes last year. I'm so dead with my Dad when he figures out I'm in this position again... He already said, "Anak, wag ka na ulit mag-p********, ha." Aside from me, my parents also get headaches because of my headache-causing job. hehehe. Well, I can't let the class down, and I definitely do not want the class to go bye-bye instantly when it comes to class presentations/ activities like the interpreative dance, right? Hehehe. ^_^
Hmmm.... Tuesday, nothing much really happened. I just had my first elective class (Life Science), and I'm so happy! I love my groupmates!!! ^_^ *Hugs Patrick and Jerico*
Today... well... I got to "educate" my friends about Pokemon again!!! (especially the history part on how Satoshi Tajiri got his inspiration. hehehe) ... I don't know why, I have this certain accomplished-feeling when I get to share my love for Pokemon to other people. Haha. Then, we had P.E., which is swimming. Then, we have one of these few cases of "early dismissal day", where we are dismissed by 1:40. Weeee! I had a good nap today (It was a perfect nap. I slept for 3 hours. Who wouldn't, anyway? You are so tired from swimming, you just took a bath, it's 3 o' clock which means it's siesta time, and it is raining!). Well... I guess that's all for now! ^_^

Glasses, crying and fourth year
Last Wednesday, I got one of the major revelations in life... I need glasses. As in, eye glasses. Hahaha. I have astigmatism and it looks like I'm near-sighted. ^_^ So... my mother let me pick an eye glass frame, and guess what color I chose? Pink! And why pink, you ask? Because of... *drumroll* Jigglypuff!!! Hahaha. (Kamae, you are really crazy. Hihihi. ^_^) So, from now on, I'll be wearing glasses when I'm looking at things far from me, like the blackboard with writings on it. Argh. Well, I'm still not used to the feeling wearing it because it feels, well, different. Anyway, I like the way I look with glasses. ^_^ I look more mature. ^_^ (As if I think "that" mature. Hahaha. ^_^)
Yesterday, Thursday, was one of the few days I had no urge to open the computer at all. Very untypical of me. I was too tired. All I did when I came home from school was nap, wake up and watch Pokemon while eating, read a chapter in our economics book, read my daily Scripture, then go to sleep. I'm just really, really tired.
Well, today, after I watched Pokemon in Cartoon Network, I decided to watch a Pokemon movie! (How typical of me to bombard myself with more Pokemon after having Pokemon. Hahaha.) And guess what I decided to watch? Pokemon 4ever!!! Yes, Celebi, the voice of the forest. As usual, I cried and cried again. It's not because of Celebi, though. I didn't even cry when Celebi died. ^_^ It was because of Ash and Sam's friendship. It conquers time. (I am sobbing again.... Waaah.) It was so touching when Professor Oak was looking through his sketchbook and he said the words, "It seems like it was just yesterday.". All along he knew that Ash was the boy he met before and even if he kept that part of his life a secret, he had always treasured that moment. (I am crying right now. So much for my weekly crying ritual. Well, that's good. It releases stress. Did you know? People who cry have long lives because they release their stress. Haha. Now I'm smiling again. ^_^) Well, I love this movie along with Pokemon 8: Mew and the Castle of Choas. Guess what the common theme was? Both friendships formed in theose movies conquer time! ^_^

"First Day of School" is equal to "Busy-ness"
It's just the first day of school and I am already burned out. Can you believe that? There are so many things to do, more specifically, so many things to study. Indeed, it is very different from my first year stay in Pisay wherein our teachers just play with us. Many problems are resting on my mind right now, like: "Will there be a quiz tomorrow?", "What will our Research topic be?". Really really crazy day.
When i got home from school, I slept right away in our living room. I didn't have time to change from my uniform to my so-called pambahay because I was really tired. Before I went to sleep, thoughts like reading on Economics and Physics kept recurring in my brain.
I woke up from my "nap" at about 7:20 pm. Great. Just in time for you-know-what!!! *happiness fills the room* Pokemon and eating dinner! Weeeee! What a nice combo! I'm so happy that Pokemon already (again) exists in the Philippines. I'm sure it will really be handy when I need to boost my enrgy to study... hihihi... ^_^

School starts tomorrow...
I am trying (right now) to savor every moment of summer freedom (So much for Endependence day... hehe) left in me... This is the last time/ day for at least 9 months that I don't need to worry about my academics while playing/ surfing on the net, sleeping till I-don't-know-when, watching television, etc. Waaaah. I'll surely miss this long vacation from the real world I call "school". I'll be facing subject/ topic-based books again, be shocked to find out that there's a surprise quiz today, be forced to cram requirements because you don't have any other time left... Oh well... I'm surely gonna miss summer... I wish time could just stop right now!!!
Oh well, life has to go on... ^_^ I can't do anything to stop events from happening, right?! *laughs*

Senior Re-Orientation
As I said in my last post, today was our "Senior Re-orientation" seminar. Well... I got to know who my teachers for the year ahead are, and I really like them!!! Weeee! ^_^ About my elective, my first choice changed from Viscomm (Well, for those people who do not know, it's art in a brand new level.) to Life Sci!!! (Well, it tackles topics about evolution, genetics, and the like.) Hehehe. I really think Life Science is interesting because you make those fun projects about stuff like "The Science of Kissing", "The Future is Wild", and storybooks. So... If I get accepted there, I'd surely take is as my elective class! ^_^
Hmmm... what else? Classes for us start on June 13, the day after Independence Day. I'll be looking forward to it, even though I am not prepared at all to become a senior and go to school once again!!! Plus, I still need to finish Mythology by Edith Hamilton (I hope this will not cause me problems... I love myths!!! ^_^), find a decent proposal and (a) groupmate(s) for Research, not to mention that I should also read, read and read... especially in Economics... *sigh* Oh well, as I always say, that's life...
Till next time! (Please support "Keep-Kamae's-expanding-Pokemon-collection-growing campign"... When on earth will I stop advertising this?!... By the way, Jigglypuff was so cute in the episode, "Attack of the Prehistoric Pokemon", a while ago... *Jigglypuff secretly makes an evil laugh*) ^_^

Still in denial stage...
I've hibernated for quite a long time... Actually, 7 days... ^_^ I am still not ready to begin with school (On June 13)!!! Waaaah... *Jigglypuff shows its big glassy eyes* I still want to sleep, play and be on vacation!!!
Well, tomorrow will be our "Senior Re-orientation" (That's what it says so in the programme.) and we will be "prepared" for whatever might be happening in our fourth and final year in Pisay. (Waaaah. I'll miss Pisay!!! *cries*) I must be prepared for next week, because it's the start of another torturous (yet fun and memorable ^_^) year.
Anyway... about what happened to me in the previous days while my blog was on hiatus... This was the first time that I ever watched 2 movies in a cinema within 1 week. My family watched X-men 3 (Weeee... I love this movie. Best X-men movie so far. *robot voice* Need-to-watch-Superman-Returns... Kamae, why do you have to be such a superhero buff?) and The Omen (It's what I'd call a fictional account of the young antichrist. I'd classify its genre as a-little-bit-of-horror. It's a pretty interesting movie... I never pictured the antichrist as a little boy.). Aside from that, my father bought me a little dog plushie that looks exactly like Terrie/ Terri/ (however her name should be spelled; we really haven't decided with it.), my Mini Schnauzer!!! The plushie is sooo cute. I'm really infatuated with it... ^_^ (It was plushie-love at first sight. hihihi...)
Starting today, I'll be sleeping when the clock strikes at 10:00 pm. (Yes, you heard that right.) Why? Because my father (the same one who gave me the plushie... duh) got mad at me yesternight (Yes, yesternight. Not yesterday.) and gave me a long sermon about my obedience, my reading the Bible, my saying that I will be a good girl, sleeping so late at night, etc. So, he set my curfew at 10:00 to get me prepared for school, for me not to get sick, etc. I cried during that sermon because I was guilty. (Bad Kamae, Bad!!! *Jigglypuff draws grafitti all over Kamae's face.* Hey, that's what fathers are for, right? they give you long sermons, tender-loving-care, food, allowance... Pokemon... Did I say Pokemon?! Oops. My tongue slipped. ^_^) I admit, I usually tend to slack off (and I really slack a lot during summers) because laziness gets to me. Well Kamae, it's back to reality!!! ^_^
Jigglypuff finally made its appearance on TV (again) after 5 long years! (I missed you, Jigglypuff!!! Welcome back!!! Weeee!!! ^_^) Jigglypuff is soooooo cute! ^_^ Hahahaha. Me and my bias with Jigglypuff as the cutest Pokemon in the world. Hahaha. (Remember, don't ever fight with me as to who is the cutest Pokemon, especially if it's a "Pikachu vs. Jigglypuff" debate... Only 2 things can result to this debate: 1. You will lose and run out of words in defending your Pokemon, or 2. I won't talk to you for at least 1 week. Hehehe. I'm serious about that. ^_^ That's what really happens to people who tell me someone's cuter than my dear Jigglypuff. ^_^)
It's almost 9 o' clock now and I need to take a bath soon! Till my next post!
-Kamae
P.S. Please support Keep-Kamae's-expanding-Pokemon-collection-growing-campaign by donating to me your Pokemon stuff (Yes, especially the ones you don't like.). I'll be keeping them for as long as I can (Even if I'm already old. ^_^) and you can check on them anytime and you'll be sure that they're okay!!! ^_^
