The Inconvenient Truth that people tried hard no to believe...

Last Wednesday, all the second year students got out of school, hailed empty jeepneys and went straight to SM after the three o'clock bell. We were going to watch the Inconvenient Truth. All I can just say is, "Now their making it an issue! About time and yet... too late..."

I mean, for goodness sake! Hints, text messages, diseases were already given by Mother Nature to those people who have the power to institute martial law to do something. And yet they didn't do anything about it and focused themselves on politics and today's weekly gossip! What can you find in those things anyway?! They just add to spit pollution! SPIT POLLUTION!

Students are already aware yet we didn't have the power to lead a full force environment saving force (and the funds). We already planted trees yet they were turned to statues at the side of the road! So much for doing something to change this lump people used to call earth. People, see what we are doing? No! We fail to see it! All we do is look at the magazine and admire the new edition of Honda cars! Then buy them, drive them and contribute more to the enlarging of the ozone hole which could be larger than Russia and the United States put together by now, thanks to us!

I don't know why I'm angry! Perhaps the fact that I can't live in harmony for the next twenty years since I would be underground protecting myself from getting fried by the heat of the sun! I'm angry because I won't be able to see my children enjoy their lives and see those animals that have not yet gone EXTINCT! I think half of the animal kingdom is dead by now! There are no more polar bears! Fishes have turned to broiled fish for the water temperarure has increased! Penguins are decreasing! If ever they don't stop dumping oil into the ocean they would be saved! Corals are turning bleach white! That means more ornaments to hang above at home and no marine life!

Sooner or later, the remaining animals will have their revenge just like in animal farm. All of us is Mr. Jones while the farm animals are the animals of the world. Wow! Is that a sight to see! People getting kicked in the shin by hyenas! As a matter of fact, we are hyenas! Doing nothing just like the toad staying in the the gradually heating water!

I HATE THIS! I DON'T WANT IT TO BE THIS WAY! I HATE IT, I HATE IT, I HATE IT!!! Children of today won't get to reach the age of seventy for the earth's temperature would have gone way above the average earth temperature! I wish Al Gore would have been president so that there would be no war in Iraq! Pollution would have stopped! The ozone hole could have been covered up! GAAAAHHH!!!

Why? Why make it an issue now? What's the special forecast of global warming is killing many people all about? Why now? Why not earlier when it first began? WHY NOW?!

I really don't like where we are going through... and all we need is another ice age... would there be another one? Or are we done for?

Play Fest

Something interesting happened today! I was awakened by my cellphone, and on the screen it said, "Ate Mel 17". Ate Mel is now celebrating her seventeenth birthday! YAY! May you have many more birthdays to come!

We had our play fest earlier, and there were only three sections that presented. Ogilvie was the best! It was a play about a tribe where the chieftain was planning to execute her daughter because she committed adultery. There were arguments between the chief, his wife and advisers and it was so cool and filled with suspense that yolu can't stop watching! The music was great, it totally fits the story being portrayed. I won't even mind a replay of the entire play! Hehehe. Too bad we can't what they were saying since their mics were not properly pinned on the costumes. The story goes like this:

The first princess was convicted of committing adultery. Her mom won't hear of it and begged her husband (the chieftain) to spare her or change the rules. She also said that how could she commit adultery if she wasn't even married yet. The chief won't listen to her and ordered her daughter to be strapped onto a bamboo plank. She would be quartered, and her body parts were to be distributed to her two lovers. The first lover won't hear of it and agreed to be exiled from the tribe just to spare her life. He even agreed to let his brother marry her. He cut off the rope that bounded her and knelt in front of the chief, ready to pay the consequences. The daughter would not let her father do it and begged him, asking him why can't they just share her body to the both of them (she loves them both). The chief did not approve and told him to get up and fight between his brother. The one who survives the battle will get to marry the princess. Before that happened, his second daughter (twin of the first) came near her father and told him what happened. There was a mix-up. The both of them were so identical that could not tell which from which. The only source of differentiation they have were the moles located on the princess' bodies. Their mother asked the both of them to describe where these moles are located. The first lover got it right and married the first princess. The second did not and married the second princess.

It was a really cool play and the costumes were incredible! I ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT!!! The actors were very, very good!

Valentine's Day

Today is the day! Love is in the air! Valentine cards flying here and there! The sweet smell of chocolate engulfs you! And rose petals fall from above! Wow! What a day!

As I wake up, I greet my dad a Happy Valentine's Day. Mama was not around since she had the morning shift, for she's a nurse at Madonna. I gave him my card and I left my other cards for my two brothers and mama.

I went to school seeing people carrying roses, chocolates, balloons and yelling in the corridors, "Happy Valentine's Day!" I even greeted the janitor a happy Valentine's and replied back with a smile.

As I entered the classroom, I screamed, "HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY EVERYBODY!" They replied in turn and I found chocolates and cards on my desk, all from my classmates. Andre was distributing KitKat to everbody, Karla was handing out apples and almost everyone was sending out Valentine cards. Our two most beautiful bachelorettes, Nikki and Nessa, got very special gifts! Hehehe. Expensive boxes of chocolates, stuff toys and roses! Hahaha! What a day! One of our classmates even confessed his true feelings to the girl he loves that day. What made it even more embarassing was when a classmate of mine read it aloud with the other girls shrieking in the background after every sentence! Hehehe! Can you a imagine a group of girls shrieking, laughing hysterically and jumping all around at the same time? Hahaha! There was also a huge demand for heart-shaped balloons that almost everyone rushed to SM after English time and came back with a 25 of them!

Hmmm... Leo keeps on freakingly teasing! What the heck?! I mean, Lowell's just a friend of mine (right ate Mel?) and he keeps on smirking when Lowell and I carried the SRA box to the front of the speech lab. He also said, "How sweeet." I hate you Leo! I'm gonna wipe that smirk off your face once and for all! You ugly, cruel, cold-hearted, menacing... GRRRRRR!!!!!!!

Appreciation Day

This day holds many memories from last year. Last year I gave my favorite ate and kuyas an appreciation card (do you still have them? hehehe). I gave them a card since they're really great! I don't know them that much (especially Kuya Ernie), but I gave them a card anyway! Hehehe.

Today is the day when teachers find out how much they are appreciated by the their students. Each class is assigned to three teachers (as we were) faculty, staff and those who are not. We were sorry to find out that the other teachers were not given any presents...

What else? Hmmm... what do you think of my other side? "Yel" she's called has been coming out often! YAY!

Communicating with thy inner self...

Seeing Kuya Ernie's posts at his blog, I decided to try out the alter ego-to-ego interview thing. I will call my alter ego Yel (that's my nickname). Be warned, this is the first time I have ever communicated with my alter ego... so here goes...

Kuya Ernie, I'm not making fun of you while typing this. I solemnly swear that I am up to something good. Please don't get angry...

Arielle: Hello?
Yel: Hi dude!
Arielle: You my alter ego?
Yel: What do you think?
Arielle: Okay... you like books?
Yel: Not really... I'm more like the adventure girl type.
Arielle: Oh, okay... what books have you read?
Yel: Archie Comics... you?
Arielle: Sherlock Holmes, Nancy Drew, Danielle Steel and Harry Potter...
Yel: You a bookworm?
Arielle: Yup!
Yel: Have you ever gone hiking?
Arielle: I'm asthmatic...
Yel: Oh... you like badminton?
Arielle: I love to eat.
Yel:-----
Arielle: What?
Yel: You're aware that you're boring don't you?
Arielle: Some people think I'm serious...
Yel: That's just UGLY!

Arielle is the boring and serious side of me while Yel is the funny and energetic girl. This year, people get to see Arielle more often that Yel... so I think I've got to balanace them out to prevent people from running away.

SuCcEsS!!!

YES!!! VICTORY!!! We had our storytelling contest earlier and I got to tell you, we were honestly unprepared. We only had three days to pull it all off. The props people were still adding finishing touches to our costumes (I'm part of the cast! YAY! ...?). Some of the cast members helped them paint some of the props. We used up brown, black, white, red, yellow, green, orange and blue paint. There was a basket filled with paint bottles and there was a maximum if three bottles a color. A bottle (container?) of paint costs P37.75! AYAYAY!!! Well, it was worth it! We had fun (especially on the goblin part! June was fantastic!) and was able to portray the entire story beautifully (if I do say so myself).

We were so happy especially when the judges' vote was unanimous! Everyone shouted, yelled, cheered, jumped, wrecked their costumes, threw their chairs and sprayed their salivary amylase when Teacher Eva announced the winners. It was a moment that everyone dreamed of because:

1. We get a high grade in English (Sir Nitz and Ma'am Gerlie really wants us to win for we... are... the CREAM!)
2. No more plays (but I would really want to though...)!

Actually, Sir Nitz and Ma'am Gerlie were all smiles! We had a group hug (with Ma'am Gerlie only)! Sir Nitz didn't want a hug... hehehe!

Besides that, we have a project in Social that we are going to pass this February 26 and our Florante at Laura presentation in Filipino. We also have a long test on Math and Biology next week and thesis in Christian Humanism. WHAT A LIFE!!!

But Kuya Ernie said, "Making learning a habit." Right Kuya Ernie? Or was it something else...

This February 12... APPRECIATION'S DAY!!! I remember my Appreciation's Day... I gave Ate Mel, Kuya Ed and Kuya Ernie "I appreciate you" cards. Do you still have them? Hehehe.

What else?

How about we have a Q and A category every time I post? And those who reply will have to answer them both or just pick from the following:

1. Has anyone got a Valentine for Valentine's Day? Just a question really...
2. What's so exciting about third year?
3. Who would you show appreciation to at school this Appreciation's Day?
4. Why do people give flowers or chocolates on Valentine's day? What's so special about them? Hint: Watch The Chocolate Factory! Hehehe.
5. Where is everybody?
6. Who is a member of the teaching staff that has a blog?
7. How do you create links?

That's all for today! Good night!

UPDATE!!!

I'm gonna update as many times as I can starting from now until Monday since its a holiday...

Now, we went to school to meet up with my other classmates at school to discuss about the storytelling contest in English. We were going to be the sixth presentor. Okay, it was already 10:30 and there were only fifteen of us who showed up! What a BUMMER!!! Freaking ****!!! Anyway, we just went to SM and canvassed all the materials we would be buying on Monday to be able to start working on the props.

The teachers were having a Community Club get-together (we weren't even invited! Hahaha...). What else? Uuuhhh... I had experienced my very first chat room experience... I never thought it would be like that... ever!

Anyway... here's a poem I just happened to be writing... hope you like it!

I stare into space

With nothing but a smile

Your face hovering over me

Looking almost senile (Erk!)

I began to wonder

On why you're there

We seem to be an unlikely pair

But I don't even care

I smile and take out a cutter

I gently cut that bond away

You didn't even fight, or punch, or move, or yelled

You just stared and looked with eyes of despair

I stopped and waited for you to talk

But you didn't even dare

If I cut of the bond, you will die

If I don't, I will

You reach up and took the cutter from me

And slice the remaining piece of the bond

You say something to me, but I just couldn't hear

And you fell without me shedding a single tear

I watched and thought of what you've said

Was it something you felt?

Was something you've read?

What was it you said? I just didn't catch it!

You said, "I love you, can't you get it?"

Hahaha! What a poem! CORNY!!! Hahaha!

HOLY MOLY!!!!

This week was unimaginable! There were a lot of projects to pass! There were two in Biology, one in Filipino, one in OSASI, a lot of assignments in Math (that I find impossible to solve) and a lot of tests from all the subjects! Except English because we were mainly focusing on our story for the storytelling contest. This would be just like last year only that the presentors are not mixed with other members of a different class. Our story is entitled the "Magic Pencil".

Tonight, Ms. Chin-Chin Gutierrez came and talked about how we can save our Mother Earth. I could tell that no one was listening (we were sitting at the very, very back... DARN!!!). She was singing, and I can't help feel at peace when she does. Her songs were great and her voice was enchanting! I feel sorry for her though because, at the time when Sir Nitz said, "Have a pleasant evening." I think that was the cue for the mob to engulf her! People were taking pictures of her, not even allowing her to escape and get some fresh air! I'm not even sure if she ever made it out...

Our project in Biology was s family tree. Many people said that I'm a scanned copy of my mom (not photocopy since its black and white... ha ha... corny!). I just can't seem to see it because I think I look more like my father. They say that whenever I smile, I look like my father. But when I frown, I look like my mom (so that means I'll be smiling forever). The only thing I didn't inherit from my mom were her eyes. I have my father's eyes (no eating! corny...).

Since no one is visiting my blog anymore (due to some technical difficulties)... I'll just gloat and look more like my mom by the corner...

Bye!
