For hardcore 7th Heaven fans out there, rejoice. The Camdens are back as Studio23 started showing 7th Heaven's Season9 last Saturday.

Reverend Eric Camden (Collins) and his wife Annie (Hicks) have always had their hands full caring for seven children, not to mention the friends, sweethearts and spouses that continually come and go in the Camden household. This year, Eric and Annie will find their family back together in Glenoak with the return of Matt and Simon. As is often the case when the house is overflowing with Camdens, Eric and Annie are in for a bumpy ride as their children take landmark steps in their lives. Meanwhile, Eric and Annie continue their journey as soul mates, parents and grandparents whose love and respect for each other brings them ever closer.

Eric and Annie's oldest son Matt (Watson), a medical resident in New York, is bound and determined to save his marriage, which hit a rough patch last season. The family suffered through a difficult estrangement from oldest daughter Mary (Jessica Biel) a few years ago, but found themselves reunited for Lucy (Mitchell) and Kevin's (Stults) wedding, as well as the birth of Mary's first child and the Camden's first grandchild at the end of last season.

It wouldn't be the Camden household if there weren't a few monumental changes in store for the family. This season, Simon (Gallagher) will be the first Camden to have premarital sex, causing a great deal of concern for his parents and leading him down a road of self-discovery. In the midst of angst over becoming a first-time parent, an expectant Lucy may have bitten off more than she can chew by accepting the position of Associate Pastor - a job she has always dreamed of having -- and leading a church discussion group for teenagers about sex. Of course, this turn of events will make Kevin's role as Lucy's biggest supporter a little more challenging, to say the least. As for the youngest Camdens, Ruthie and the twins, Sam and David, they begin new life chapters of their own with introductions to high school and kindergarten, respectively. Martin struggles to play the role of big brother and fit into the family while waiting for his father, a Marine serving in Iraq, to return home.

Through all the ups and downs, Eric and Annie have managed to keep their romance alive and their family together. Not only are they raising their own seven children, they've picked up several additional family members along the way. This season promises to focus on the importance of family, not only for the Camdens, but for those who aren't as fortunate and seeking to find a family to call their own.

*********************************

Chemistry is still a killer. And it's getting more and more confusing by the day. Kahit na, we usually don't do anything but chikka, I could still feel the difficulty of the subject parin! I found the subject easy at first. Haha. It would be a whole lot easier if there's less memorization, woudn't it? I'm also planning on moving my Chem to morning next week for SPLTC. Hmm, ok kaya? Hehe! 'Coz I think I'll be missing more activities if I'll attend only the morning half of the training... But it's still not decided yet!

Anyways, I've got a new hairdo! It's layered now instead of the plain, staight cut. Hmm, don't like it so much... Haha. My hair used to be ok. But now, it's really unruly! Waa! I want my old hair style back... LOL.

ABS-CBN started airing the third season of Pinoy Big Brother: Teen Edition last Sunday. And I'm currently going gaga over [Aldred]- the Kilabot na Validictorian from Pasay. HarHar. He's really, really a cutie! And he can cook, man! He can cook! And he's also got the most adorable dimples I have ever seen! *drools over him* LOL. ^^

I've also heard of news that the Da Vinci Code- movie version won't be firing up the local cinemas anymore. It seems like the Catholic Church banned the movie. Too bad. I was actually looking forward to watching the movie. Well, I guess they're reasonable, though. I mean, a whole lot of people's faith became quite shaken when Dan Brown's very controversial book came out.

Mango Float. Heehee. My sis and me made that. Ok ba?! ^^

I can't believe I'm actually sick with colds in the middle of hot, hot summer! I mean, is that possible?! Haha. ^^

Anyway, I came by to inform you guys that I won't be posting as often as the past month since it's gonna be May soon. *Eek!* It's late April already. Which means, things are going to be more hectic from here. I can't believe I spent almost half of my summer vacation studying! [I have this really obscure fantasy that if I studied so hard this summer, I will have my picture posted at the bulletin board along with the really studious students! LOL.] And the other half... erm, sleeping?! :O Oh yeah, I have realized recently that Chemistry is not my thing. Haha. Simply seeing or thinking about the words "elements" and "ions" makes me sick.

My dad obviously didn't like the thought of me driving this year. Said I'm too young to drive. He's probably worried that I would go shopping everyday when I learn how to drive. LOL. ^^ Hayz, guess I'll have to wait 'till next year, then.

Hmm, I gotta go. Need to go study Chemistry! [Got.Chem.test.later.and.still.haven't.touched.my.notes!] Person with the lowest and second lowest grade will sing and dance. >.< Not me, hopefully.

Belated happy birthday to Charlene, our baby girl! I'm missin' you lots. *muah*

Take care, people. Ciao.

Just yesterday while I was walking home with Ahya, I told him..."Ahya, tingin ka sa sky mamayang gabi, mga alas-dose... Baka may makita kang meteor shower. Sabay tayu magwish, ha?" And there it was, at exactly 11.57 pm, I saw that tiny streak of light, zooming across the sky at a slow rate. I didn't know if it was really a meteor shower, or even just a falling star. But it was really nice. It wasn't at all spectacular, it wasn't as beautiful or as memorable like what I thought it would be. But with Ahya staying up late just to watch it with me made the moment spectacular and memorable. ;)

Sobrang pasasalamat ku kasi alam kong pagod na siya nun at hindi niya naman nakita yung mga stars at yung "falling star" na nakita ku kasi wala siyang salamin, pero andun parin siya. For the other times na iniwan ku siya dun sa Ersao, or nun una na aku pumuntang Parish, at nung hinintay niya ako ng katagal-tagal dun sa Angel's Burger at sa paghatid niya sakin hanggang bahay kahapon... salamat [sobra]. ;) I hope that the wishes that we made together would come true. :)

I’ve fooled myself that I will be happy, that I am happy, the veil has fallen.

I AM happy. I AM. I AM.

A Surprise.

I'm really feeling summer now. Damn the heat. Right now, I'm suffering from terrible headaches that had alredy lasted for days and runny nose. I probably have nose as red as Rudolf the reindeer's. Anyway, I'm currently busying myself by doing a surprise for Hans. As his birthday is coming up this June and we've been planning a surprise for him eversince he left for Canada. I was tidying up my things the other day when I came upon this really long list of our plans. It was all tattered and everything. *Oops* Fortunately, it's still in one piece.

If I believed in paradise
I'd swear I must be there
I'd swear I must be there right now with you
If I believed in miracles
I'd know that one was happening to me
But if I don't believe in paradise
Then miracles aren't real
Then someone tell me what is this I feel
I wanna believe it's love this time
I wanna believe my heart's not telling me a lie
But with you I can't deny
If I believed in paradise
I'd swear I'm there
If I believed in magic spells
It all would be so clear
'Cause magic spells must have brought you here
If I could see the future
I'd see if you and I were meant to be
But I dont know any magic
And tomorrow's just a dream
But something in this fantasy is real
I wanna believe it's love this time
I wanna believe my heart's not telling me a lie
I wanna believe it's love this time
I wanna believe my heart's not telling me a lie
But with you I cant deny
If I believed in paradise
I'd swear I'm there
I'm there
I'm there
If I believed.

Heyya peepz! Enjoyed your Holy Week? Well, I sure did- down to the very last bit of the holidays! Heehee! It's not everyday that you get a whole week off, right?

It was just the other day when I said I really miss going on trips out of town. Just yesterday, I think the Lord actually heard me. I started my Easter Sunday by going to mass at the St. Jude Parish, where the FCCY served as choir every Sunday morning. The Parish gave us free food afterwards since we're making an effort to sing in the Mass even if it's Easter rather than just going off to enjoy our vacation. [Pakipot pa si Ahya Uly and Bernard! Diet ba?!] Anyways, it feels really good to go to mass on this day. Kind of like getting a heavy load off my shoulders! Mass ended at 10am but I got home at around 11 na 'coz we dropped off Ahya R and Ahya Fo pa. My Mom told us we were going to go swimming in Laguna when we got home.

I was thrilled! It's been too long! The trip was long and boring. Since we used the car with no radio. It took us quite a while to find a nice private house. The house came with a pool and a jacuzzi. The house was fab, by the way. Swimming was refreshing 'coz the weather's really hot. But after swimming, that's another story. It think there was too much chlorine in the pool since my body itched all over even after I took a bath. Also, I noticed that I was quite red when I looked at my reflection in the mirror. When I woke up after a nap, I had this unevenly tanned skin! Eek.

As for my penitensya for the Holy Week, I asbtained for two days and stayed away from the PC for uhm, a few days. ^^

By the way, Happy, happy birthday to Karen, Senior, and Gwendolyn! :D

Pics coming up! Here are some of them...

I miss the great outdoors.

It's been too long since I've last set foot on the sandy soil of the beach. And now that it's Holy Week once again and offices are all out, I find myself craving for the beach. ^^

...And remembering my childhood days.

I somehow wish to stay young. Somewhat like Peter Pan. A while ago, I closed my eyes and flew to Neverland. I somehow wish that I would never grow up. Just kind of like... escape it all. I know my world is continuously turning. I sometimes wondered if there are chances that the world- escpecially my world, would simply "un-turn" or rewind a bit. Things were simpler back then. We would just decide to go out of town one day and leave the next morning. But now, when we say "out-of-town", a pretty long think comes after, followed by phone calls and cancelled meetings with customers. [Be it Holy Week, Christmas day or just simply another day.]

*Sighs...*

*Blink.* Back to reality. Time to continue growing up. Goodbye Neverland. Goodbye Kaliraya. [We were supposed to go to Kaliraya- (jet ski!!!) before my parents announced that out trip was cancelled.]

Hmm, have you noticed? New skin! Wee! It's been long since I was talking about making my own layout. And it was just today when I have finally gotten around to actually do it because of extreme boredom. Sorry if it's not so nice. Beginner palang po! Thanks to my cousin for the help with the codes. So much time and effort he gave me! Teewai! ^^ Kaso lang, I think there's something wrong with the font weight or something... Help?! Anyone? Hmm, this layout won't last long, though. I just can't stand seeing my face in my layout! Heehee! I'll make another one soon, and I'm pretty sure there's plenty of room for improvements! ^^

"There are as many nights as days, and the one is just as long as the other in the year's course. Even a happy life cannot be without a measure of darkness, and the word 'happy' would lose its meaning if it were not balanced by sadness."

Happy Birthday Sis!

First of all, I'm greeting my sister a happy, happy birthday! Getting old is a good thing, right?! Hehe! [I'm sorry about your 12mn hopes! But at least I got someone to text you at that time! ^^]

Anyways, I've been telling my Mom my plans about driving lessons. And they were like... "What?! You're too young!" Haha! I really want to learn how to drive na. 'Coz if I don't do it now, while my sister is just starting, I might not be given another chance to learn na in the future! I know my parents well and they're all talk. So I guess now would be great timing. So I guess I'm really going to go through with this, that is, if my schedule permits! My sis is planning to start next week, if possible. Hopefully, I'll know how to drive before I turn 16 this July so I could get a students' license right away. :D

Happy Lent people! [Is it supposed to be happy?!] Well, anyways, just enjoy the little break! I mean, summer classes start after the week right? Hmm, I'll just be here if you're bored! Heehee! Just text or call or im me! Haha! I'll probably be really bored since I'm stuck here at home for the week.

"And now here is my secret, a very simple secret : It is only with the heart that one can see rightly ; what is essential is invisible..."

Holy Week.

I'm so thrilled. I've got a one week break from my Chemistry classes because of Holy Week! Weee! But then, we have this really, really long assignment and a test when we get back. So much for my one week vacation. I was thinking... maybe I could leave that until the last minute. Hahaha. Hopefully, my other classmates would study hard and I could just copy the answers off their papers. :D Haha. Just kidding. ;) What's the point in taking advance summer classes when I'm only going to copy, right?

I'm missing my friends so much! Wish we could get together sometime. I've got like... almost no communication with my friends except for Jean and Charlene. Keith went abroad, [Lucky her!] whereas Chesca joined the study tour. [Karen! Hans! John! Asan na kau?! Genebabs! Steppy!] I texted Charlene just the other night. She's practically blooming. So happy, so rediant. :D It's good to know that she's happy. Stay happy, baby girl. ^^

Oh yeah, I'll be staying home for the Holy Week, since my grandpa's sick and he needs to be attended to. So I guess there'll be no overnights in provinces with the family this year. Aww.. :( You'll probably see me online everyday. Hehe! Text me and save me from boredom! Anyone!

Yes. I need to update, and I will when I finally have something interesting to say. ^.^ When will that happen? I have no idea.

To tell you the truth, I made this really long post the other day when my computer just suddenly went bonkers. Lousy internet we've got here. But never mind that now, I won't write it again. Heehee.

My life here at home has been plain ol' boring. It's been the sleep-eat pattern everyday. I think I'll finally grow fatter. [Quite happy about it!] ^_^ I'm dying to get out of the house. Somebody come and save me! In the meantime, I'm reading the Shoppaholic series. The protagonist is quite pathetic, actually. One of those hopeless cases. Anyways, it's so damn hot these days. Makes me so lazy. Darn, I just remembered the long list of Ions that I must have already memorized by now. My life studying Chemistry? Oh, yes. Now there's finally something good to say. Yes. Finally.

Ok. I can't believe I'm actually going to say this. I'm beginning to like Chemistry classes. :O I kid you not. And I am actually looking forward to attending Chem classes every M-W-F. Haha! It's kind of fun; with Lady and Kimberly around. They're good company. And we hardly study anything at all. We devote almost half of our time to Ahya Albert's jokes. Hehe! Masaya lagi. I hope this enthusiasm lasts until the school year starts. ^^

A Weird Dream.

I woke up at around 10-15 a.m. remembering a dream so vividly. I dreamt that I was suddenly given superpowers and I went around town helping people like some super hero. Cool, huh? ^,^ One of the people I helped was Mervyn, yung incoming Senior. Weird ba? Kasi we're not exactly friends. But I'm positive that he was the one I saw in my dream. He was I think.. depressed? Lonely? Something like that. Dreams are supposed to be symbolisms of the future, right? Hmm... wonder what my dream meant.

Lately, I've been fiddling with Adobe Photoshop. It's so cool pala! Haha! Oh yeah, it's my Dad's birthday so we'll be eating out! Yey! Heehee! :D I love April since it's my Dad's and my Sister's birthday! ^.^ Cakes galore! Yummy, yummy restaurant food! Weee! April is the month of many birthdays. There are two in the family, then it's also Phil's birthday, Jean Pe's, Stephanie Lim's Alfred Lao's and my very own Shobe Charlene's birthday! :D

Graduation!

First of all, I just wanna greet the Graduates a Happy Graduation! :D Especially to a few chosen Seniors- my sister, Ahya Clarence and Ahya Marc. Plus the Seniors in my Scouting family and my FC family. ^-^ Heehee! College is only a few days months away for you guys. And it would be a totally different world out there.

I attended the Seniors' Graduation Rites of Saint Juse Catholic School yesterday. My sister 'hired' me to be her personal photographer. Haha. Too bad I'm not allowed to get near the stage. So a big sorry to my Sister for the crappy camera shots. By the way, the camera's battery was gone by the middle of the Graduation Rites. ^-^ Clarissa's speech was... "Wow"; and the Seniors also serrenaded us with six songs. Who could imagine 212 students could fit in the Auditorium stage?! Even so, the Graduation Rite was long and boring. x_X The Graduation Rite delayed the distribution of our report cards. But, no harm done. I was actually dreading to see my grades. My face fell when I saw my grades! They were not just low, they were urgh, lower than low! [is there such thing?!] I suddenly find myself regretting the times when I would just sit around and have a chat with my sister. =/ I regret every moment of those times. But next year,, must be better! Afterwards, I went on to look for my sister. The Seniors were so busy after the Graduation- posing for pictures, zooming here and there for their Report Cards and their Diplomas. The wait for my sister was long outside the Physics Laboratory. Good thing I saw good ol' friend Ahya Alex Teiford just outside the Physics Lab. It's been years since I last saw him. And dear, has he grown fatter! LOL. ^^ Halos hindi ku na siya nakilala nung kinausap niya ako! ^,^

Later in the evening, we went to TGI Fridays to celebrate. :D Food was fab. But it took so damn long for them to serve what we ordered!

By the way, today is actually April Fool's Day. Hehe.
