I Will Never Be Able To Do So

Life has been changing, so tremendously much. Moving to a new school, adapting towards new environment, coping with new friends, and so on. Now that I'm a high school student, I found nothing really special for being a high-school-er, at least for now just run a life as it is. Hey, my fingers can't be used to count how long I've been neglecting this poor blog. I miss sharing with all of my beloved Aunties and friends here, I truly am. But sometimes, I'm not strong enough to conquer my damn laziness. 

To write and express what my current feeling is one of the most important parts in my life. I will never be able to leave this activity. Even though, I didn't make it in this blog, I always managed to at least spit some words elsewhere. Because I needed this so badly, I needed a place to pour my thoughts. A place where I could freely express myself without being negatively commented. Being a teenager with bunch of nonsense hormones is such a tough time to be bear ha ha ha...

Man, I actually bring countless stories to share here. Don't really know how to start. World has been a pretty hectic place these past months for both me and my family. My parents purchased a new house,  we're moving within a year of time, I got my room renovated, Daddy bought me a Mac (yes,  my dream Apple), my baby sister is entering junior high, not to mention new school and new people, have any idea how my life is turning upside down just in a few short months, so being a high-school-er  isn't that important with all of these things as the comparison? It's like riding one of Six-Flags  extreme roller-coasters. Never, in my life..., I have too many moments happening altogether like now.

Nice weekend to you all! Kisses and hugs :)

Me, In Their Eyes

There was an event held at my school, a kind of seminar, you know. The main theme was "Preparing Myself For Further Life". I have no intention to discuss it here because the seminar, despite of the weighty topic, however was boring -- yeah, at least for me. But honestly, I caught one interesting stuff. So, during the seminar, all of the 9 graders were divided into some groups. I was a 'Zebouth'er -- don't be confused, it's my group name, anyway! We did a thing, everyone got a piece of tiny-mini paper, and we should give that paper to others inside our group. And this 'others', must fill our paper with their thought about us -- owner of the paper. 2 positives and a negative comment. Well *long sigh with relief*, I was grateful for that I never be a kinda freak who wears a 'big-round-old school' glasses and awful braces -- no offense, please, people -- or else, be an it-girl who indeed acts mean towards others and have nothing inside brain except fashion plus hotties (to make this clear, you should watch 'school-theme' movies more often hahaha). I'm just...., a normal Angie, and that is that. During my junior high years, my friends accept and appreciate me as well. So thank God, at least my paper wouldn't contaminated by any terrible or weird comment that would make me cringe! Okay, let's check what they've said about me.

Start with negative ones -> Quite (I'm sure someone meant to say 'too quite'), lack of interaction, more to action (?), rarely socialize, quite (again), lack of social skill, prefer to be alone.

Positive ones -> Creative, good at novels analyzing, good at drawing, good at languages, artistic, good at entertainment thingies (pardon me?), calm, great scores at 'language' subjects, smart, diligent, often compose a story (who wrote this and how come you knew it?*slap-forehead*), nice, good at Korean, an expert reader of thick books (what the!? lol).

I want to say many thanks to my friends, no matter how bad or good the comments you've wrote, I really do appreciate this as a 'mirror' to make myself better! Wanna know something? Well you see, I've tried to be more chattery during last year actually, but somehow, please pray for the realization of a 'more-chattery-Angie' hahaha... That's it! Happy weekend, folks! *hugs and kisses*

Today's Valentine

 

This pic was taken yesterday, I rarely wear Hoodie, but yesterday was an execption

Aunty Carenina rode her motorcycle with me to the church yesterday, just two of us. Okay, that was my very first long-'motorcycle'-journey. Which unexpectedly happened to be fun, I like how it felt. I've always been a car-girl in my entire life. And when I got a chance to ride motorcycle, the outcome was tasted like freedom somehow!

Aunty Carenina was staying at our home, we had a great time together, discussing about books and Photoshop :)

I will miss that kind of girls-day-out. Oh, before I totally forget, I want to say Happy Valentine! For me everyday is a Valentine on which we can show our affection to everybody around :)

What I received today, thanks to Claudy, Clarissa, Angelica, Virna, Ilona, Edita, and Student Council section who gave me this treats!

After passed a gloomy weekend, I truly blessed with double even triple happiness today, firstly my Dad just got back home this afternoon, he picked me up from school and I got a snuggle time with him. Secondly I received lot of chocolates from my besties, I heart chocolate! Lastly, a conversation that made my day.

I had a Korean-course tonight. As usual, my Sonsaengnim set a time for me to read some passages before she finally said,

Ssm: Do your parents ever heard you write, read, or speak in Korean Language?

Me: Uh-eh, almost never, maybe just once!*grinning* (I admit, I speak only a little in front of them, I worried that they might be bored since they don't even know a single word, except for Anyeong-haseyo!)

Ssm: Really??? How come??? You should be, they will be so proud of your ability!*staring at me with half amazed and half confused face* (A few times, she praised how well I speak in Korean accent.)

I was happy to know this, at least someone noticed me and opined that I can make my beloved parents proud of me. It's a really important matter for me to make sure my parents won't be sorry to have me as their child.

I Have Nothing To Lose, Except One

This post is about my MGMP English Contest last Sunday. I woke up late, I still thought about 'oh-if-only-I-can-absent', and I wore a uniform with a pair of sandals to perform in that contest (Call me insane!?). But, here I should emphasize you all that, I'm not a type of child who love to be preoccupied with any various type of contests.

 

My speech script, which I made by myself

 

We went to the contest location (a government school) with this school bus

 

Between 30++ participants who joined speech section, I got number 26

Another representative from my school for speech section, Nadia :)

 

Another representatives, there were 24 people from my school through grade 7-9

Grace, Me, and Michelle

Nadia got 16th turn, so she performed before me, she's awesome!

 

Mine, Nadia took this pic

Time for honesty, I don't remember what I said during my speech :D I don't even remember the script I've made before. When it came to my turn, I walked to the front calmly without any expression or nervousness, I barely know what kind of feeling which dominated my mind at that time. I only recognized it as a 'semi-conscious' condition that I seldom experience, except in my meditation session (I meditate with brainwave music sometimes). And when I fully came from my semi-consciousness, my speech ended. I almost laugh that time, my mind was like 'What the heck I was talking about for my speech?'. No matter how hard I tried, I never remember -- until now -- my words in that speech lol. Today, I was told that I don't passed the contest, but it's okay, I have nothing to loss. Besides, this contest wasn't my desire and I've done my best. If only, I passed, I should face another stressing week (make a script all over again, practice it every night, sacrifice my Sunday, think about it in between my school tasks that weighty enough without addition of a contest). Even though, it's all a pure honest confession from me, I admit that I'm a bit disappointed too! Because I have one thing that I lost..., I lost a chance to make my parents proud of me, and that's a big matter :(

Party On School

Actually, this party was a part of Book-Week event that held during 17-20th of January 2011. Theme of the party was 'OLIVER TWIST' (which happened to be our main story for this year Book-Week event as I mentioned in the previous post) and the dress-code was 'BRITISH COSTUME' (High School and Junior High School department didn't really obey this dress-code, but I sense that Elementary students were too afraid to break the rule). We also had a luncheon with 3 menus, soup, porridge, and sausage. There were a sharing and quiz session too. Too bad, my group didn't win the quiz! Anyway, we did a charity as well, we contributed books to Sekolah Lentera Harapan.

Each student got a postcard, we could write something there and put it inside the book that we contributed

We were pretty confused with that postcard, what to write eh? :S

 

Cloudy morning, rain fell so hard around 9 AM :(

 

Another views of my school

 

My friend, Alicya, one of those who really wore a princess costume :->

 

Ilona, my bestie, who gave me a Crystal for Christmas :D

 

Our homeroom teacher distributed a new schedule, I didn't quite like our new schedule :(

 

I didn't eat any of that, no thank you (I hate porridge or soup, seemed so yuck)

 

Michelle, Sheilly, Licia, and Ira (See! Someone even appeared like MJ lol)

After luncheon, mostly we were rushing out directly to visit another class lol

Started from 11 AM until 12.10 PM, we had nothing to do. I was chattering with my homeroom teacher then walking along through school hallways because I finished 'Tales of Beedle The Bard' book by JK Rowling in the first session. Anyway, our school announced a new policy, every Friday in the last week of the month, we should wear Batik. Ah, I prefer for uniform actually, I love uniform as always :) Lastly, I wish you all here have a fun weekend! (I'm going to face a busy weekend with English Contest and stuffs, sigh).

Baby Brother Turned Seven

Sergio turned 7 last Sunday! Though he's the only son, but he either is the only one who never have a big celebration for his birthday party (Chelsea and me experienced a big celebration of our birthday party for a few times). Usually we just have a small family event for Sergio's birthday. But he got a really oh-made-sisters-jealous present. As he wished before, my Dad bought him a new game console, latest edition of Wii. Oh well, I tried to play it a few times every-time he's sleeping. He tends to have no amiable behavior toward his sisters, he wouldn't share his latest precious treasure with us anyway. Boys! :S

We have too many game consoles at our home, welcome to our family, Wii

Had a wonderful luncheon at XO Suki

 

Birthday guy :)

 

Waiting for our meals

 

Shabu-shabu, I don't like seafood as everybody knew, so I only ate tofu with chicken broth

A tasty dessert, Cocktail Pudding with peaches. I LOVE peach like crazy!

Sergio with his ice-cream cake :)

With Mama :)

 

With his beloved Aunty, Sergio admires Aunty Carenina so much :D~

Left to right, Alfredo, Sergio, and Chelsea :)

 

And me? I was busy, babysitting Justin who visited us to join Sergio's birthday

Justin didn't want to drink his milk, he was so sleepy

Baby Justin is Aunty Carenina's nephew. He's lovable :)

Only out from bedroom to eat the cake muahaha

My baby brother is no longer a baby. Me and him have a quite age gap, 8 years difference. I don't know why, maybe because of that, he respects me more than anyone at our home. He tries to impress my eyes a lot, I don't merely like kids, I'm a loner, so he often get a little difficulties towards me. But I'm the only one who capable to cope with his tantrum, my parents couldn't quite understand his manners. He's a complicated little guy. Even sometimes he's annoying, but that's why we called them kids. They can be nice and annoying at the same time. Though Sergio had complicated personality to handle, but he's a genius (I don't say this because he's my brother). He often easily achieves extraordinary scores in his school without any hard work, he's lazy and play a lot folks! I'm so proud of him, aside from his annoying manners, I love him :) Happy birthday, Sergio! Jie-jie wishes all the best for you.

Guess who? My newest drawing, spent 15 minutes to draw this.

I was drawing and writing a notes at the same time. Where I drew this? Class :P

 

Oh well, do you remember Irene's blog giveaway? I won folks xD

And do you remember this crystal? I don't know why it turned out so 'short' :S

Anyway, my school started on last Monday. Back to routine! Holiday was over, sobbing :'( I got a slight headache for the first day of school. I was quite sick. But now I'm okay. And I'm still thinking about my story deadline, do I ever tell you that I'm an online author since I was 13?
