10 THINGS MOST PEOPLE DON’T KNOW ABOUT ME
1. Almost everyday, I feel insecure.
2. I cry every time I watch a movie by myself.
3. I read books not only to let time pass but to know what’s life really worth and how to get by and surpass all the troubles ahead.
4. Though I always show my “happy” side, deep inside I’m lonely.
5. I think on a much larger scale than everyone else (well, that’s according to the quiz I took at gurl.com)
6. That I am not really happy being left alone at home when all of them are out there seeing the world.
7. That I tend to be shy when we go in social gatherings like eating dinner at Oasis (some kind of a five star resto here).
8. That I’m afraid to lose my friends and loved ones.
9. That I remember all the bad thing people say about me… and eventually I also remember the pain.
10. That sometimes, I am the one who underestimates myself and bring myself down. Like what Kim and Annette said, “Bakit mo minamaliit ang sarili mo? Hindi dapat yan, isipin mo, you have the brain. At lahat naman tayo maganda. Lagi mong tandaan, nandito naman kame.” Such simple gesture, but I treasure them much.

school rules in a typical school girl's life
NEW SCHOOL RULES
1. Noisy and going out without permission.
The verdict: Put in the record.
2. Not In Proper Seat (NIPS)
The verdict: Let the students go out.
3. Noticeable Behavior
The Verdict: Report
My Reaction: This rule is okay for me coz I really get irritated when my classmates talk and laugh like hyenas. It’s not that I don’t want them to laugh or talk to each other, but it’s more of because when they talk to each other it seems like they’re miles apart and sometimes they laugh about almost everything… yep… almost everything… even when nothing is funny at all.
These policies are ways to avoid being too noisy. When this policy will turn out fine, I guess our classroom wouldn’t be called the “noisiest” class anymore.
4. Using Cellular Phone (during recess, lunch and class hours)
The verdict: Confiscate.
My Reaction: A big NO-NO! Well, it’s just normal not to allow students to use their cp’s during class hours. But to stop us from using it during our lunch and recess… how could that be? When asked how can we use our cellphones if the matter is really important they told us that we can use them inside the office (with a teacher). So, where’s the “privacy” there? Someone would be listening to our conversation over the phone while at home I wouldn’t even want others listening to whatever I say. But since, I’m a good girl (lolz) I will follow that rule coz as I’ve said I’m a good girl and a part of being a good girl is obeying rules and regulations.
5. Bling Bling Accessories
The Verdict: Confiscate
My Reaction: I don’t have any problem with this since I’m not used in wearing accessories in school.
6. No bringing of discman, songhits and magazines
The Verdict: Leave them in the guardhouse
My Reaction: It’s okay with me as long as the things left there won’t be used by other people and will be safe (won’t be lost). Besides, I only bring magazines in school whenever our teacher instructs us to bring one.
7. Cleaners’ Attitude
The Verdict: Report
My Reaction: They expect us to clean the whole room thoroughly… I don’t have any objections with that. But what I don’t like about this thing is that, we, the cleaners, are the ones suffering from our classmates… how do I call it… improper waste disposal? They throw their candy wrappers all around the room and expect us to pick them and be the one to throw it in the trash can. When you tell them that they’re actually “littering” they’ll say thing like… “I’m not a cleaner for the day anyway.” With that simple gesture, I can’t help myself and if ever given the chance I would love to dump his/her (whoever that one is) face on the trash can. If all of us would know how to practice using the trash can properly, there wouldn’t be any cleaners needed.
** These new school rules will be put in to action as soon as we get back to school. But for now, since there are no classes… I would have to enjoy being free and do whatever I want.

UPDATES ON MY LIFE
I’ve been busy updating my xanga site so I barely visit my blog here. But now I’m back to give you some updates.
Our examination just ended. Dude, when I went home this afternoon I had this terrible headache. I read from my Candy mag that it is a result of being stressed out, reviewing, sleeping late at night and waking up early in the morning for three consecutive days. I’m glad to bid ta-ta to my eye bags and those almost sleepless nights. I’m back to normal again and the good thing is… I can surf the net.
Yesterday, my mom bought my Grade 3 sister a Nokia 6600. I was shocked upon knowing that fact. In fact I got jealous at first coz my celly is Nokia 7250i while hers is 6600. When I told my friends and one of my teachers about that, they were amazed too. When I told them that I’m jealous they only have one reply… “Be contented with what you have.” Upon hearing that, I don’t feel jealous anymore. I feel contented with what I have… and I’m not only talking about my cellphone but about the people around me… my family… my teachers and my friends.
P.S. If you have time, you could visit my xanga site at www.xanga.com/intuitive_introvert.
Until next time!

Growing up
When I was young, I used to watch this certain kiddie talk show wherein it features kid reporters and the way they change as years pass by. Thru this show, I started to imagine myself growing up and meeting other people.
I thought it’s just a simple thing. I just have to wear big clothes and big shoes and do all the things grown ups do. I never thought it would be hard.
I miss playing with my fave toys…combing my Barbie doll’s hair and even designing and making her clothes (though… I don’t know what the clothes I made look like), playing hide-n-seek, having the usual “cooking time” with my playmates. The thing I miss most about being a child is the fact that I can do anything I want to without worrying what other people think. I can wear any clothes without hearing thinks like… “Hindi niya bagay.” But instead hear praises like…. “Ang cute cute naman ng bata.”…
Oh how I miss those times when I was still that innocent little girl. But I can’t do anything about it now. I can’t turn back time. Things happen because they are supposed to happen. And even if we don’t want them to happen, we just have to accept them and go on with our journey. Part of this journey is growing up.
It is only now that I realized the true essence of those two simple words. Though it’s fun meeting other people and be able to interact with them without being told things such us… “Bata ka pa… or usapang matanda ito”, there are times where in I feel like I don’t know what to do or say. Growing up is not as simple as wearing big clothes and big shoes. It’s more of facing the challenges of life. It’s more of learning how to get through it. And how to learn from all the mistakes you’ve committed.
I found out that some people could be judgmental. Though some could be for a good cause, there are times that we can’t avoid to be hurt by what other people say. To be honest, there are certain times where in I find myself crying and feeling so helpless. But then I realized that I should not allow these people to rule my life. I am the one making decisions, not them. This is my life. This is my journey. And this is me. No one but me can decide what I’m going to do or say. People have their own opinions. So do I. But some don’t realize that people, like you and me, have feelings too. We may not be able to show those feelings but deep inside it’s there, especially if we’re being hurt.
Though some may not understand us and accept us as the person we really are, there are other people out there who care about us. Just like our friends who are always there for us.
Yes, growing up isn’t that easy. You may experience pain but not at all times. Growing up can also be enjoyable. It can also be fruitful. It can be fun. As in F-U-N. You just have to get through it day by day. Face the trials that come your way. And eventually learn to appreciate the people around you while making your dreams come true.

precious time... at home
THURSDAY, 07-01-2004
It has been two days and yet we still don't have classes due to this storm (bagyo). Yesterday, it was signal number three here and now it's signal number two. One of my schoolmates informed me that there'll be no classes today. She also informed me that yesterday.
Since I'm at home and I finished my homeworks and finished all our quizzes last Tuesday, I'm free to do anything I want.
Yesterday, I finished listening to Avril Lavigne's Under My Skin and Aaron Carter's new album and his old one (which I bought last Sunday). I'm planning to buy Linkin'Park Live in Concert but then I can't go out since it's raining.
I had a movie marathon yesterday, and as for today, I'm listening to my fave Acoustic songs and surfing the net. I really don't know what to do next. I think I'm going to finsih reading my book. (Yep, book again. Haven't I told you that I'm a bookworm?).
This is it for now. I'll keep you updated as soon as I can.
Take care.
Stay cool.
Be happy.

school and friends
It has been almost a month since I wrote here. And in a span of almost one month, lots of things happened. Some are good and some are not so good.
School started last June 14 (if I remember it right). I was so excited. The feeling was so different from the first two years of my highschool life. I'm now in third year highschool. They say, this is the hardest year... but then if you have the courage you could get through it.
As I enter our new campus (we recently moved to our new campus which is a bit farther away from home), I saw my friends waiting. I saw new students piled up and the old ones giggling ang talking like bees. That was when I started to realize the mere fact that I'm back in school.
In third year, there are three sections. When I looked for my name on the list, I couldn't see it because of the students piled up in front of me. When at last I had the chance, I don't know what to do or say. Why not? I am the only one in our group who's not in the same section. I'm beggining to imagine things and ask myself questions like, Will I still be a part of the group? Will they still treat me as their friend? What if.... What if... What if.... But all these thoughts vanished when my friens talked to me. They told me that it's gonna be okay.
With that simple gesture, all my worries vanished. They assured me that eventhough we're not in the same section, we would still meet during lunch breaks and go home at the same time and if possible, during recess.
It has been three weeks, and as I hoped for, our friendship is still intact. Though during sometimes during recess, we don't see each other, we make sure we eat lunh together and go home at the same time. Now I realized that distance can't affect your relationship with your friends it is only a matter of trust and proper communication.

reaching out to the world
I always loved being alone at home... doing nothing but to eat, sleep, read my books, scan my magazines, watch telly or listen to my cds and cassette tapes...
But today, I discovered there is life out there... waiting for me to discover it...
We went to this beach house and I was like... UH-OH... people... lots of people... I'm not into meeting other people... As others say, I'm kinda the "shy" type though my friends think otherwise...
So on with my story...
We went to this beach house to meet a family friend.. well, they own the place... When we arrived there... I was totally relieved when I didn't see anybody except our family friend and three of her ompanions at home...
So there I was, sitting on the "rocking chair" ... yep, there's a rocking chair... near the pool... I don't have any plans on swimming so I just sat there... listening thru my MP3 player... when i got bored of listening... I roamed the place... I saw lots of diff. kinds of birds and plants... Then it hit me...
I decided to take a picture of those birds and flowers and all the interesting things that caught my attention...using my cellphone (with camera of course.. lolz)... I even took a picture of the roking chair I sat on... and before I knew it... I didn't have enough space in my celly to save more pictures...
But all in all, our trip there was fun. Our family friend's soooo nice...friendly.... and all that...
Yeah, this is only a start... a beginning... in exploring the beauty that surrounds us... but maybe, if we could continue to reach out to the world...we'll see them all...

a new start
This is my first time here in blogspot... and I find it cool being here. Like being able to write and interact with other people.
And because this is my first day here, I would like to say hi to all of you! I hope to know you more and I hope I could find friends here.
This is all for now.
me,
megan
