Preparations

Oh my goodness! Two weeks to go! I’m nervous. I’m really nervous. I’m quite excited but I’m really nervous. First of all, I have no idea who my block mates are and I don’t know where my rooms are. Another thing is.. I’m going to join the orchestra at school. I don’t know if I can manage my time well because my classes are until 4:00 or 5:00 pm only but if I join the orchestra, I will have to go home at 7:00 in the evening everyday. The course I took is hard too. I’m going to be really stressed out!

I fixed my room yesterday. I threw lots of papers I have in my room. I’m a sentimental person. I find it hard to throw away stuffs my friends give me. I still have receipts, letters, gift, and the like in my room. I really treasure those things. I just threw away things I don’t use anymore. Like my notebooks.

There are some things I really want to have before school starts. I really want to remodel my room. I want to paint it so it would look brighter. White will do.  I also need a mirror in my room. A big one. A body mirror, maybe. I don’t understand why my dad placed the mirror on my brother’s room when in fact, girls need it more. Don’t you agree? Haha. A white board is a must have for me too. I can write reminders and change them everyday. My lamp got broken too. My brother took it. I need a new one too. A prettier one. I’m not also satisfied with my study table. It’s dark brown. I wish I can have a new one. A need a  new light bulb in my room too. I really want my room to look bright so I can study well. My course isn’t easy and I want to focus. I miss my junior year in high school. I really excelled back then. My ranks for the four grading periods, in order, were third, second, first, then fourth. I really studied hard that time. I became an honor student that school year and also in my senior year. So, now that I’m in college, I really want to prepare myself. After class, I have to stay until seven. I’m going to audition this June for the Strings Ensemble. Hopefully, I’ll get in because I have been training the whole summer for that. It’s my passion to play and I will really try my best to be a Dean’s List even though my schedule is kind of hectic. Wish me luck, guys!

Meet My Partner

Meet my partner, my violin. ♥

We first met on January 2, 2012, the day my dreams started to come true. We started to get to know each other on January 7, 2012. We agreed to bond with each other every Saturdays, 10:15 to 11:00 in the morning, at Music World. We also have this friend, teacher Jham, who helped us to grow. The first time we met, I know we’re going to be together forever.

I love music. Since I was a sophomore student, I really wanted to join the band but it never happened. It is my dream to play an instrument and now it came true. My dream is also to become a professional violinist but it won’t be that easy now that I’m a college student and I’m planning to take up Medicine after my four-year course. Anyway, I’m going to join our school’s String Ensemble! Yey!   This is already a dream come true because I just started months ago and now, I’m a part of an orchestra already. Thank you Lord. This is my passion. I will continue to live this dream.

Hello! :)

Hello there! There have been many changes in my life since I last updated this blog.

Few weeks from now, I can now officially say that I am a college student. This is it! But I’m not yet ready. Most of my batch mates took up Medtech but I don’t know who my block mates are. My best friend, Gia, took Chemical Engineering instead of BMLS (Bachelor of Medical Laboratory Science), which is my course. I planned to take this course since I was third year high school. I know someone who might just be my block mate – my former friend. We enrolled during the same day and there is a strong possibility that we really are block mates. He was a close friend of mine but something happened that changed everything. Right now, it seems like we don’t know each other anymore. When school time comes, I would be a bit challenged to find new friends. And honestly speaking, I’m really nervous. It’s like we’ll be sent off to a group of strangers.

That’s my schedule. I’m satisfied with it. I feel lucky having that sched but I’m going to join the orchestra. And we meet everyday. From four to seven o’ clock in the evening. I don’t know if I can make it but I will really try my best. I hope I can still meet my friends. My one group of best friends are all block mates. I and my friend’s boyfriend are the only ones who are separated. Oh well, good luck Leanne.

Moving On To The Next Chapter

Three years of high school has already passed and a lot of beautiful memories have been made. Just a few months from now, I’ll already graduate from high school. I will sure miss high school. All the fun, the memories, the hallways, the teachers, the activities, the bonding with my former and soon-to-be former classmates, everything! College may be a lot different. It would be an important chapter of my life since my future depends on the course that I will choose.

I decided to take up Bachelor of Medical Laboratory Science (formerly known as Medtech) in SLU. After graduating from this course, I will take up Medicine. It is my dream to be a doctor. Being a pediatrician to be specific.

I am really excited for college. Before, I was a bit confused with what I want because the special persons to me will take up the same course. Others would think that I just wanted that course because they will take up the same but as time passed by, I realized that this is what I really want. We had a four-day career orientation and after that, we had our SLU-CEE (College Entrance Exam.) I know deep inside of me that this is what I want. I promise to study hard because my future depends on this. I really want to become successful someday, to become a successful pediatrician. I hope that after high school, life will become better for me and for everyone.

A Heart For Two

It’s been a long time since I last posted a blog here. Well, it’s a Saturday and I have nothing to do so I checked this out again. My fourth year high school life is going well. I’m starting to love my class. There have been lots of changes too. Well, not much really. I’m still friends with my friends. I’m still in love with the PERSONS I love. No, just kidding. The truth is, I don’t understand my heart anymore. There are two guys I think I’m in love with. One is taken and one is not. One is my best friend and one is my close friend.

The person I liked and loved since the fifth grade is my best friend now. Just thinking of eveything I’ve been through with him makes me smile. For years, God brought me to this situation. I’m really thankful. He’s like my bestest friend at present.

Then here’s my former sixth grade classmate, my close friend whom I call ‘Kapatid’ (sibling.) He’s someone who’s important to me. The second person I fell in love with. I regret some of the memories I had with him. How we started was a perfect question and a wrong answer at a very wrong time. I never knew if that question was serious. I fell in and out of love with him a lot of times and at present, my heart’s feeling so idle.

My best friend’s taken but I still love him. On the other hand, as much as I want to deny this fact, it seems like my close friend is growing apart from me and from us little by little. Since my ‘big brother’, his cousin, started to withdraw from school because soon they’re leaving for Canada, I can’t spend much time with Kapatid anymore. Oh and by the way, they’re leaving too someday. I miss him. I do miss him a lot. We still talk sometimes but the time we spend with him lessens and lessens. I will miss him.

I can’t express how much I love or maybe like ‘M’ when I’m with my best friend. I think he feels jealous? I’m not sure but the situation seems like that. I really don’t know if I still love my close friend but I’m sure of one thing – I will kill me to lose him.

I will kill me to lose the both of them. They have become very close to my heart and I don’t want anyone to leave because for sure, I won’t. I will never ever leave. Once they’re in my heart, they’re there forever.

Anyway, what’s going on now is something I should feel thankful for. After crying and crying, here I am, smiling and loving my life again. Free of worries and I don’t feel hurt anymore. Is it because I don’t love Kapatid anymore? And because I’m spending more time with my best friend? I don’t feel so affected anymore. I’m happier this way.

L’Oreal X-tenso

I’ve been planning to rebond my hair last year. I was supposed to get my hair rebonded last December but my cousin referred me to a salon where she got her hair straightened. Straightened. Not rebonded. Her hair was super straight! So I tried it too. Our hair structure is different so it didn’t work out too well for me. Hihi. XD

So since last last week I think, I’ve been inquiring from my friends about hair rebonding. One of my classmates rebonded her hair again last December too and the result was wonderful so I asked her where she got her hair rebonded. She said it was at Porta. That week, I also researched about hair rebonding on the internet. I have read many threads about Tony and Jacky’s salon which uses L’Oreal X-tenso but is it located in Manila. So the following week, I inquired in the salon at Porta. Wow! I was so happy when they said that they also use the L’Oreal X-tenso treatment. I saw that in my research and it was full of positive feedbacks! I thought they only use that treatment in Manila. So we said we’ll go back after a week and we did – today.

Not the complete process. Here it is. First, I had a haircut. Second, they washed my hair and blow dried it. After that, they applied L’Oreal X-tenso and wrapped it for minutes. Then they removed the wrap and left it like that. They rinsed my hair and blow dried it again. Afterwards, they ironed my hair at 180 degrees. Next was the cellophane. Then they blow dried it again. And finally, I had a haircut again. Finished!

I am so happy with the result! I didn’t regret it. It’s super straight and shiny. Although there are some fly aways. My hair is even straighter than what it looks like in the photo. Just look at my hair before. -__- I hate it. Now I love it! We used L’Oreal X-tenso. And then cellophane – black. I don’t want to use red because I’ve tried that before. I love it but I just don’t want to. XD We didn’t encounter any problems but we started really late! We came to the salon at 5:00 pm and we finished at 9:00! O_O I was so so so shy because we could have done it the next day. The mall was already closed and we were the only ones left! Of course the security guard was still there. I’m really really happy! The price is also reasonable. Let’s just see what will happen during the following days. Maybe I’ll be posting some pictures after I wash it and after six months and also after a year. That’s all.

A Fan’s Experience

I first watched him in the movie Flipped last month. I love those kinds of movies, about teenage first love stories. At first, I was focused on the movie, on the story, not him or any other character. I already knew Madeline Carroll because I’ve already watched her in some movies. “Bryce, hey, he’s cute! His voice is wonderful!” By the time the movie was about to end, I noticed how cute Bryce Loski is! When the cast rolled up in the credits.. Callan McAuliffe! I ran in front of the computer and searched for him in the internet. That’s what I actually do when I see a cool movie and I liked an actor or actress there. Bryce Loski was a great character and Callan’s really perfect for his role. Hearing his voice and seeing him made my heart flutter. I immediately became a fan, I fell in love but more likely had a total crush on him – with Bryce, and with Callan McAuliffe himself. I repeated the movie for two or three more times. I even videoed the whole movie in my cell phone, holding it in front of the DVD player for an hour and thirty minutes. I know, I’m kinda late because this movie was first showed in the big screen last year and I haven’t watched I am Number Four yet but I will soon.

So, I looked for him in the internet. Searched for pictures, articles, checked if he has a Twitter account, liked his Facebook page and everything! (More like stalking but since it’s a strong word, I’d call it intensive researching.) When I saw his Twitter account and how he replied to his fans, it gave me hope. Hope that I’ll get a reply from him too. And it came true. He replied to Louisse’s tweet, where I was mentioned too. Sorry if the screenshot is kinda blurred. He didn’t reply to me directly but I consider myself very lucky for that. I can’t explain the feeling I had that time. It was the greatest feeling in the world, knowing that your idol, your huge idol, replied to a tweet where you were mentioned too! At present, I’m still learning and still finding out some things about him. Of course, as a fan, you’d want to know about the latest news about them. I do know that he loves Hunger Games and a lot more. Still doing an intensive research on his Twitter and Facebook account.

For a fan, every little thing matters. Especially when it comes to communicating with the stars, our idols. Seeing Callan’s tweets on Twitter, how he replies to his followers, his comment backs on Facebook, I think that’s the reasons why we love him even more. That’s the best thing I like about him because we get to know him more. He reaches out to his fans every now and then, every day, replying to questions, tweets and comments. We are already really really lucky being his fans because not all actors and actresses have time to communicate with their fans.

Making this blog gives me hope. Out of his thousand fans, I know he can’t reply to each and everyone of us. I know this isn’t too much but I do wish I can do more.

So Mr. Callan Ryan Claude McAuliffe, continue doing what you do. Keep in touch with us. Keep replying. I wish the best for you and your career. We’ll be all waiting for your upcoming projects and movies!

Love, Leanne, a fifteen year old girl from the Philippines, your lover, your lifetime fan, your supporter, your intensive researcher, a member of your Ninja Penguins, TeamCallan member, your friend if you consider that too.

Thank you!
