My heart felt so sure today. I texted you all day and we both agreed on the nervous, yet excited feelings we were both feeling. To get through 12 periods seemed like more hell than usual. The anticipation was donated to our meeting in the far staircase after school to ask an important question. We both understood what it was, which is why we were so nervous. I also had another question to ask because a day prior, you almost answered my question. As of this 30th of September, I am going out with you. I don't think I have ever felt so good with the idea of who I was with, no matter what others dare say.

Begging
This Tuesday was full of anticipation. By that night, I was begging for the next day to come. My heart was set on where it was heading, and this time I had no doubt. From what I can remember, having practice inside the auditorium that night was fun. We began to learn "disco stick" work for our show. Basically, we are spinning a flagpole without the flag. Joy. hahah

Frankly
Frankly, the days have been going slow. Frankly, I have been using this word too much. I really think I regret drinking that Jolt during Saturday's competition- on top of all the caffeine that's already in my system. Tonight I went to Barnes and Noble to do homework and it simply wasn't working out. I hate sitting by Starbucks at the tables, it's not comfy enough!! The farthest I got with my homework was reading the 7-page short story. My eyes were crossing simultaneously with the drooping of my eyelids. The coffee had absolutely no effect and rather made me feel worse. Homework is such a bitch.. Oh and look what I found in my Lit book today! Mudkip! XD

Oh Sunday.
Sunday Sunday Sunday. So when I got home last night, I texted a couple friends for a while and ended up passing out on my parents' bed. I woke up this morning with a very sore, achy feeling. I'm going to take the wild guess that it was because I slept on my stomach with three pillows under me, in the most awkward position. Hell, I didn't care; I was too tired to, anyways! I woke up at 11:30AM and hopped straight into the shower. My entire family was yelling at me for doing so because we had to be at church by noon. They were simply saying I wasn't going to have time! Boy, did I prove them wrong. I took a shower, got dressed, and we got to the church with 5 minutes still to spare. Church was boring as usual. When we got home, we ate and then headed to the mall. I had bought a referral for my contact and a bag I've been eyeing for quite a while now. Tonight, I went to the movies with the Sentinas, the Bonghanoys, Fetus, Ana, and the Pinanos. Goodness, thats like all siblings! ..haha me, Ana, and Fetus might as well be siblings. We saw a guy that looked like the older version of Fetus andI just had to point him out. The movie we saw was 9. It was okay, but I expected better. I'm dreading tomorrow for the sake of school, but there is one good aspect to it. Practice afterwards and getting to see Jacob :D Oh, and tonight was the first time I've ever had a Jones' drink! Flavored Banana Strawberry, it was good. The caps are the most amazing part!

BBBBBBEEELLVILLE HIGH SCHOOLLL MARCHINGG BANND!!
Today Belleville had its first competition of the season :D To be honest, it felt like a good one! [In my opinion at least] Unfortunately, we got 4th place out of 7 other bands [including Nutley >:0]. In turn, though, this simply acts as greater motivation to push ourselves and be amazing! The day was pretty long, too! Somehow, I had forced myself to wake up at 7AM and get ready. We practiced from 8:15AM-11AM. The practice felt really good and we were getting a lot done. The show itself was looking 10x better and everyone was excited. After wards, we had an hour or so to get food and come back to change and prepare. Jaelynn's friend, Erik, came along. I had never really got to talk to that kid, but I've realized that he's pretty cool. Apparently, he's coming to every competition, so this should be good lol. The bus ride was pretty fun.. After the show, we got back and I was BEAT. Unloading the truck, I still felt some energy flowing through, but I knew it was going to run dry soon. By the time I was at Maryanne's house with Ana and Jaelynn, I was dead tired. It might've been the Jolt I had that day..lmao. I was so pumped that day though..it got me hoping for next weekend to come a little bit faster! South Brunswick, here we come!

Initiative
Take the initiative to fix a problem. That is what I did tonight. When we tried to hang out today, it just wasn't feeling right. So I called you tonight and we talked it out; complications were brought to common undstanding, and I know where your heart is.

Where's My Doubt At Now?
My feelings between this morning and tonight, right now, have a bigger difference. This morning, my doubts were at a greater high than the day before. I wasn't sure if I was enjoying this or if I should just drop it. Throughout the day I have talked to various, various people about it and have gotten some terms settled. As far as I'm concerned, things should be taken slow right now if I want to make the best out of this. Anyways, today I tagged in Clifton with Rey, Ana, and Jaelynn. I love this group. We stood outside Stop&Shop about a half hour earlier than we were supposed to and ended up making a load of money!! Time went by faster as we greeted people, cracked jokes, sang, and begged. We learned that Clifton people can be rude jerks! It's quite worse than how Nutley treats us! GAWD. rude. As for this upcoming week, I can beg all I want, and I will still have to endure through school. It's so boring, but what can we do? Oh, and Hi, Michael. lmfao.

Still
So today I had practice from 10-1PM and practice actually went by faster than I had expected it to! It wasn't a hardcore practice or anything, but things definitely got done. Afterward, I hit it off to BK in Nutley with Joe, Fred, Jae, Ana, and Jonathan. We ate and what not, and then went to the park nearby. We literally stayed there for about 5 hours.. a lot of things can happen if five hours! For example, a bitchy mother can accuse you of detouring her childrens' playtime; you could get your phone stolen and find out that an 11 yr old girl in a pink shirt took it, while getting it back; and do various challenges of obstacles. From what I can add up, the day went good.

Officialy With.
Today made it official. I could put up the date here, but thats too cliche. Rey laughs about how we should've made it yesterday, so we could share dates/months. haha..as far as feelings go, the update from friendship status doesn't feel tooooo different. Ofcourse it makes me feel happier, but I'm not surprised by hugs from behind or intertwining hands. Maybe it is because of my loving relationship with Rey..haha I love my gay friends. XD I'm not sure, but I guess it portrayed "practice", allowing me to feel comfortable with the switch over. As I thought about it for the past two days, the feeling didn't fully hit me until earlier today during classes. Whenever I thought about it, my stomach felt butterfly-ey and brought a smile up. I also noted that it's strange telling myself that I'm not single anymore. It's just been so long, that I got used to the term! Well, from now till whenever, I can only hope for the best.

Helium Highs
-is brushing teeth-
Wow. I can't believe I finished my homework early!! I started around 8 for some reason..It might be because I have no life. just kidding.
For the world's information, I do have a life. I spent the day after practice at Wendy's with Ana! haha We ate our little value menu meals and sucked on the helium of a select few balloons. [the ones we could get off the backs of chairs anyway] Recorded, we sounded like completely different people. Along with helium, is our declaration of seats. We officially own one of the booths due to our markings on the table, by accident. We used sharpie on the balloons to draw faces, and it didn't like to dry. Therefore, what ever surface it came in contact with, the ink smudged on. By the time we left, we were responsible for various black splotches all over the table. OH. There's some girl there now, dressed as Wendy. She laughed at us while we sucked on helium and gave us little mints. She also provided us with our own balloons! :D
In school, I took over the board and recreated some of Natalie Dee's hilarious works!

Just A Party!
So I am on my phone right now in feel of how tired today has made me. School itself was a long day. Afterwards, we had guard practice outside on the field. Many of us had not been aware, so we were all practicing in our school uniforms! It was horrible. The amount of sweat to begin with was already at a high and practice only made it worse. Just A Party was nonetheless fun, though! Mainly, I hung out with Abby and Fred [Jonathan]. Its nice to walk about all night with someone's arms around you, as well as your own around them.. fun haha. It was a pretty chill night. Not too many people were around, but we still made a good time out of it! Unlike other years, I personally wanted to come home around 9 because I was so tired and still had hw! So now as I lie here, I can sleep nicely, knowing I had a good day and hw is done. The only thing now is to look forward to tomorrow. XD woot. Bloomfield Game is coming up!

Rain Rain in Passaic
Today was our very first football game against Passaic. Of course we lost, but that was not the highlight of my day. It rained yesterday, during the game. I would've been bad enough to perform pregame and just sit in the stands in the rain, but guard had to practice first and second quarter. Then we ate. Our flags were soaked and no one wanted to be there. Its such a shame that we couldn't even get anything done. We couldn't even get through the first number! It was above all, ridiculous. After eating, we returned back to practice for the rest of the game. Egh.
After football games is always better. We all walked to Wendy's where we usually chill after games. We stayed about a couple of hours and it was pretty fun. A few messes were made, and everyone was arm-wrestling Jonathan. haha.. I ate from Fetus's frosty as well as Roland's. I'm such a fatty haha.

Practice In The Cold And Rain
Day three, and the day still seems to drag! I bet it's my schedule. I'm in a mood of anticipation, waiting to receive that yellow slip during first period, allowing me to go to guidance. The past two mornings have disappointed me, as I receive nothing. After school, begins my favorite part of the day. Chilling in the band room waiting for practice to start and just being with everyone. We constantly laugh and this is the part of the day that keeps me smiling! band nerd fo life. yeah whatever. hhahaha that term is so corny.. "band nerd" wooooahaahhhh..wooo.

It Looks Deep
Day two of school started out lame. My alarm went off at 6:30 and I didn't get up until 7:11. My bus comes at 7:25. i don't know how I did it, but I was early to the bus stop. As the day went on, I got better and felt even better when I finally had classes with the people I love. I sucks that I don't have classes with some people until per. 11, which is basically the end of the day. I'm still getting my schedule changed around and I'm still waiting to get to actually see my counselor!

Cirque Cirque Summer
So I actually got started on my summer reading today, deciding to stay home. I got invited to go to about three places today, but I stayed put. My father kind of scolded me the night before for always being out of the house after practice had already ended. I've actually thought about what he said, and he is sort of right. I'm planning to go to a friend's house on Monday for a "last day before school party" so I can't spoil anything right now.

Oh, How I Crave
Today was decent. After practice, Audrey, Ana , and I went to Wendy's to fill up our stomachs. Today, Aud got her braces removed and I think it's so different seeing her without them! I kind of miss them, to be honest! I'm happy for her though. I've never had the experience or pain of wearing braces, but I've heard so many times that once you get them off, it's like a miracle and you keep licking your teeth! After Wendy's we headed back to the courts. I reallyu don't know how I made it because my legs had done their walking for the day. There, we met up with the Sax section, who were journeying to Coldstone's as a reward for best section. I would have loved guard to win that reward, but we are far from top status. Oh, how I crave a Like It Birthday Cake Remix!! -dies- I'm always up for some good old Coldstone's! I never really tried their shakes, but I've fallen in love with those as well! SO GOOD!

Relive The Controller
Today was a good day: nothing too dramatic, nothing too boring. By 3PM I was at the hs for practice with the band. I think Wednesdays will become my favorite days. Its appeals to me more, being with the entire band rather than my section alone. Even though we need work and section time, I still can't deny the feeling I get yelling on the field during drill fighting for enthusiasm. Goodness, some people are just boring when they don't count out loud! :D It makes practice less dreading.

Forever Captured In Photo
I still get to enjoy waking up at 11AM, even though practice is starting up again. Today I woke up around then and really didn't do much..I stayed home and just chilled out watching TV and eating. I tried to redye my hair, but that kind of failed. The color only got a little darker, but it was all the same. A package came around 1:30 PM and I kind of missed it. I was too busy on the computer with headphones on, until my brother threw somthing at me to answer the door. I rushed outside, picking up the UPS sticker on our door to catch the delivery man to reclaim the package. It was from the Philippines and I asked my mom about it. She said it was pictures from her father's funeral. I got the courage to open up the package [she asked me to] and I asked my brother if he wanted to view them with me. We sat on the couch and looked at the first picture. Immediately, feelings of compassion and sadness flooded me as I saw my Lolo laying in his coffin. The inch that produced tears was the image of my mother in mourning, forever captured in photo. It hurts me so much inside to know that. We looked through photos and we would occasionally crack jokes, pointing out little parts of the photos to keep our spirits a little bit higher, above the water.
