“Even in difficult times, there could be good moments.” ― J. Aleong, A Most Important Year
Yes, those good moments seemed to have happened to me last week!
˗ˏˋ Monday, March 13 – My otouto's birthday! I felt bad for him as he bawled about something on his special day but I prayed that this should be the start of his journey toward a more difficult adolescent life. I love you, T! I will always do my best to be the best sister and friend to you 🥰.
˗ˏˋ Tuesday, March 14 – Our EsP class was absolutely fun as we talk about our experiences from the promenade while doing a performance task—an ideal weekly schedule that I sure won't follow 😋.
˗ˏˋ Wednesday, March 15 – Finally done discussing the Romantic Period in our Music class, and playing the piano with our teacher was such a hasty yet amazing experience! We are currently practicing sir Frédéric Chopin's Nocturne in E-flat major, Op. 9, No. 2 for the upcoming group performance but since I'm part of our class' chorale, I was exempted in this output and the 3rd Quarter summative test—one of the biggest reasons I should definitely work hard and win the contest! 🏋🏼♀️
˗ˏˋ Thursday, March 16 – New economics-related song done! It is a cover of that of sir Rick Astley's song as we plan to rickroll the whole class 😎, and yes, we all did an amazing job! The instrumental we used is from Caitlyn Myers et al. to make the atmosphere of our class youthful when we present it. Check it out here!
˗ˏˋ Friday, March 17 – My mother's-fellow-teacher-in-a-Chinese-school-and-friend-who-is-my-now-favorite-teacher-in-Filipino's birthday! I've known him since I was in elementary and the fact that he's now my teacher in high school makes me realize that life really moves faster if you don't cherish each moment. I pray that he'll always have a healthy and happy life as he becomes better every day. We love you, sir Su! 🥰 I apologize for passing my output late though it won't be in Google Classroom as I have passed a Canva link—the file is editable and new edits will be seen if one just clicks on it 😭.
Speaking of which, though I have the option to use the remaining 40 minutes before the output's due—used most of the nighttime to create a fugly owl clay sculpture for an Arts worksheet 😩—, I chose to use my weekdays to write an original adaptation of an angst legend about the mulberry tree (Pyramus and Thisbe); heavily inspired by Greek Mythology and the "middle child syndrome", "childhood friends", and "star-crossed lovers" trope with a hint of a Biblical theme because I plan to publish most of my written stories someday after the school year 😩✊🏼.
Tbh, every output I've passed in my Filipino subject is a tragedy, my best friend—and my adventurous life—is the main culprit for this 😭. Lav likes to read angsty fanfiction (DSMP-centric as such) and rant about her thoughts in our Discord server 🤕. As a friend, we tend to be influenced by them and so I delved into the realm of AO3 and here I am, traumatized on the first week of usage after reading a Rin Itoshi fanfiction that literally made a deep cut in my heart and made me think of my life for a whole damn week 😞. Check it out here! (prepare your 🫀 and a bunch of 🧻)
Having said that, there are still a lot of things I need to catch up on so let's keep fighting and slaying! Have a great life! 🌻
“What's a girl gonna do? A diamond's gotta shine.” ― Taylor Swift
After a week of pre-prom assignment blitz, the bejeweled day finally happened! Yesterday was full of awaited things which made the night a hundred times better than the event—the promenade was absolutely fun, though!—itself 🥳.
One of those awaited things was the first meetup of my "first" friend in high school for 3 years and counting! Yes, and fortunately, it was not as awkward as I thought when I imagined them in my head every day before the prom 😭. Actually, we had planned—two times, to be exact—for our first hangout yet our introversion (same MBTI!) held us in captivity 🥰. Anyhow, we worthily spent the night talking about shared interests and stuff, tysm bestie!
Furthermore, we also get to hang out with our new friend in the group—our elective classmate and my section classmate—and three introverts, assembled! I also met their friends (my previous classmates and theirs) and all of us looked totally shining, shimmering, and splendid 😩. I finally had my movie character moment in a 2000s teen film!
I wish as we go back to a normal stressful week, we will be able to blithely slay it and stay victorious! 💅🏼💅🏼💅🏼
P.S. I will not be able to post a vlog because I deleted all the videos I took which were taken 3 weeks ago—my phone was nearly giving up, couldn't figure out how I can't send them on my mom's laptop, uploading all of them in Google Drive was gruesomely long, it was 3 weeks ago! (too lazy to edit)—so I'll stay as a blogger for now!

A 3-month hiatus must never prolong! Hello, studyblr and my fellow narcoleptic, nocturnal, and nerdy owls! ✨
So much has happened, will happen, and will keep happening. Every day is a step towards our dream. Let's fill the year with acknowledgment, appreciation, and achievements.
Stay glad and grounded! 🙆🏼♀️
School? Still there! Same goals, improving habits, and inspiring people. I just received my report card for the 2nd Quarter last Friday and my general average just got 1 point higher! Though most of my grades in major subjects are the same, I'm glad that I was able to maintain them and I'm totally driven to take 'em all up! My grade in Arts and Physical Education went a few points down due to having a low score on the test. However, there's nothing to be down in the dumps, I've been raising the stakes higher and the Lord's always here for me. 🙏🏼
