Super Bored!

Classes were suspended last Saturday and yesterday(Monday) and since it’s Manila Day today, still, no classes. I’m really bored, so i decided to blog my experience of having an almost 12-hour-non-electricity day last Sunday.

I woke up at almost 7:00 am, because my parents were talking that it woke me up. I heard them saying that the electricity’s been out since midnight. I barely noticed that because I had a really nice sleep :D . It was also raining continuously. After hearing that conversation, I slept again and woke up again at 9:00 am, i thought it was already lunch, so I told everyone in the room “huwag nalang kaya tayo maglunch…” (in english, let’s skip lunch). My sister laughed and said that it’s too early for lunch! I checked my phone for text messages, then I saw the battery’s almost dead. Then around 11:00 am, my dad decided to fix the generator because my sister and my mom are about to cook lunch. I tried accessing the internet but there was no dial tone on the phone line! ugh! So the generator was on for 2 hours. Then I accompanied my dad to the generator (which is outside) to switch it off. So we got slightly wet, it was still raining though. Then almost everyone in the house slept all afternoon, except for me, and my two sisters. I worked on my Math homework while my sister checked if I did it right. My little sister was very busy playing a never-ending-game in the laptop. When I was done with Math, the electricity’s up again! Yipee! So I checked the internet if it’s up. The dial tone’s fine, but no internet :( ( ! But the cable’s fine already :D . It started raining again after stopping for barely 2 hours! ugh!

The next day… I checked the internet again, still, nothing. My sister called to inquire about the internet and why is it still down. After 1 hour, voila! there’s internet! But my little sister stole the laptop from me. My other sister is using the desktop computer and my other sister was using her Mac. But! I was the one who checked the internet but then, I was the one who  couldn’t use the internet! I have to wait 2-3 hours before I could use the internet. So I did my computer homework first. It was to look for the functions of the toolbox of Macromedia Flash. I had a hard time looking for it.

I’m really happy that classes will resume tomorrow! I’m dying from boredom here!!!


Summer Laziness

Apologies to my readers. I was really too lazy to update these days. And, the same reason from my last post, I always doze off after my swimming lessons =/. Sorry if I still haven’t return your comments, I will now, since my swimming lessons are done and I’m free until the end of summer. I’m going to make it up to you!

Summer Laziness, one of my summer sickness. Sadly, my swimming lessons are already done. My coach encouraged me to join the swimming competition last Saturday, May 17, 2008. It was a competition between different Bert Lozada Swim School branches. The theme was Speedo-BLSS 1st Plunge Swim Carnival.I was afraid I would lose. My coach got me in 4 25m events, fly, back, breast, free. And 2 Medley Relays. But I DID win 3 :) . I won 5th place on the 25m backstroke swim, 6th place on the 25m breaststroke swim and 6th place on a Medley Relay. I was glad I won something on my first competition :) .

I also have a certificate of Participation for joining the competition. :)

I’m really happy that my parents allowed me to participate on this competition! It was really my first time competing! Even though I wasn’t able to stretch and warm up before the competition, I was late already =/. And I made friends too! Yey! We kept on cheering for our team! I’m a proud team member of AWS! Though, every after event I kept shivering, it was really cold there. We were competing on an outdoor pool.
