End of the year

my phone has been acting up & restarted my blog *cries* honestly I'm so sad to be leaving intermediate & to be going onto high school. I'll always remember I was class of 2016 for this school. I made so much memories throughout the school year and it sucks that I have to end it now. I started at the bottom and now I have to start at the bottom again as Hope said in her speech for AVID. it was amazing years at Ilima intermediate and I wish I could redo it all over again because then I would have to go through leadership once again. if there is anything I could do differently, I don't think I would do it differently...I just believe I could improve on so many things. I still believe till this day that things happen for reason. people may come and go throughout my life but that's just the way life is, just like how we're going off to high school. I literally cried on the last day even on my graduation at the end. i'm so happy to have ended the school year with the teachers that have taught me so many things for two years. They were my supporters when I needed somebody and now it's sad to watch them teach new students as the new school year begins. I can't wait to visit them especially because I know deep down, they all wanted us to stay. I can't believe I'm crying while typing this LOL. It was so hard for me  to say goodbye to Mr. Barayuga especially since he was like a father figure towards me, when he told me that he loves me I just broke down realizing it has came to an end and now I have to leave for new beginnings. This school year is probably the toughest I ever faced honestly because I didn't realize how tough it was gonna be to leave. I made so much memories here & im willing to come and visit. I made a family here that won't be forgotten.

highlight would be when It was the 8-2 party. Everyone in the classes ive had was all in the chorus room. it sucks that this is the last time the Wolf Pack will ever be together. I stayed for 4th period & at the end I just bursted into tears because I just watched Mr. Barayuga hugging people as they leave. I always wanted the last hug of the line so I would go in the back of everyone. I just straight up cried in his arms realizing that he won't be teaching me anymore. I'm always going to love & miss him, we're so close and I'm hoping it'll stay like that.

lesson learned throughout the school year would be like Ive always said, things happen for a reason. everything falls in place where It needs to be so I believe that there's no other way that I regret anything but to wish that I did things differently if I wanted to. God gave us a path to follow & we're currently creating our story right now. we can't change what has been done to please others or yourself. thats what I learned throughout my school with guiding of so many people.

if there was anything I could improve on, I would do it. such as turning in my blogs on time, being more early when I had to work, more productive when I had leisure. stuff like that I want to improve on. I improved on so many things but I have still yet to improve. I'll be learning endlessly so I still have yet to learn as I'm growing older.

4th quarter blog

wow I can't believe this is my 2nd and last quarter blog about 4th quarter. I'm so excited to graduate as the countdown became two more days and by tmrw on the 24 would be one more day. I'm not ready to leave yet I want to because I'm so done with this school. leadership has been such an amazing experience for me, getting to know the 7th graders and more people came along. I learned so much this past quarter knowing that I have improved & that there's still stuff I could improve on. we were so busy this quarter, having to deal with yearbook also and orientation. we all practiced for a lot of things also tryna juggle with interviews for the 7th graders and upcoming 7th graders. I'm so stoked to finish this school year on a good note although it was a bumpy rollarcoaster honestly. if I were to have things differently, I wouldn't change anything honestly because it helped form the path I am on as of right now. I try not to regret anything because I do believe things happen for a reason so throughout this quarter, I faced so many difficulties including drama but I didn't let it interfere with whatever I needed to get done, especially with leadership. sure I would turn in things late but that's because I procrastinate with other work that I needed to do. Also, I'm usually the busy days I have blogs. 

highlight of the quarter would have to banquet. honestly, banquet was so fun. I wish I can go back to banquet day and continue everything. the food was amazingly good since it was hayn. also, the songs that were played which caused all of us to dance which was hilarious honestly 😂😂 despite the drama incident that happened after banquet, I still had a good time &I I tried not letting anyone ruin it.

lesson learned would have to be, learn from your mistakes. sure I messed up a lot throughout this quarter to maintain the place or position I needed to be at but there's always room for improvement. but in order to improve, I have to learn from my mistakes which is what I'm willing to do. school has been such a blast throughout this 2 years yet been my worse ones. I can honestly say that I accomplished so much and I still have yet to learn. 

nvm this is the FINAL weekly blog

wow time went by so fast honestly and I can't believe this is my last weekly blog to do. I'm so stoked to move into high school and start new memories but the sad thing is that I'm officially leaving ilima in a few more days. I can't wait to Lei everybody but almost everyone will be missing school on the last day so technically it's Tuesday we'll have a FULL day of school to see everyone before the ceremony starts and the last day of school. other than that, we had shifts for our final week I believe and I worked every job. I had to catch up on every homework I didn't turn in so far and I'm glad for my 4.0 that's soon to drop soon which is why I'm scared. Mr. Ing won't change my Homeroom grade and idk why 😭, I need it to be an A. I'm struggling tryna maintain my 4.0....but in the future if I were to read this blog again, just know that do not procrastinate and motivate yourself to the max! try new things and don't forget to love yourself !

highlight of my week would be today. I say today because I finally got to go to a high school. graduation. but this time it wasn't for kapolei or Campbell, I went to my first and most likely last graduation for Pearl City High 💜 I was so stoked to finally go and to congratulate Branden. he's my sister's boyfriend. 

lesson learned would be to be there for the people who need you the most. comfort those who are in need of help and love those who have loved you for a long time. apparently somebody important went missing tonight and I was scared I'll never hear from him again, especially since he's my boyfriend. be thankful for those who have walked into your life to support and love you, you'll never know when it'll get taken away from you. but I don't have to worry anymore cause we found him and that's all that matters cause he's safe.

Last weekly blog

wow okay this is going to be my last weekly blog. literally my last. I'm so sad that the school year is coming to an end but I'm excited to be in highschool as a freshman. this school year was probably the one that flew by so fast and I might've took it for granted realizing I could've done more things at my school and doing things I wish I did. but that's okay because there's always highschool to make that up for me. I'll have 4 more years of school and I'm done, wow time does fly by so fast realizing I'll be ready to drive soon and ready to graduate with my own job and having my future plans set out. I plan on maintaining a 3.8-4.0 GPA to get me into a good college that'll help me pursuer my career as a neurosurgeon like I said in my interview for leadership when I was only in the 6th grade going to be a 7th grader. being in leadership has been one for the books and I'm so blessed to have made it in for 2 straight years. There's many things I can still learn and improve on, I hope God has a lot in store for me and helps guide me for the better things in life I want to occupy myself with. but other than that, this week went by super fast knowing I have work in the morning with chad and Kalepo for CCTV and we'll changing shifts over and over to take turns. then I assume this will be our last week working which I'm super sad but excited. I can't wait for graduation.

highlight of my week would be my birthday. I would say my birthday because it was this Saturday and I turned 14 on the 14th LOL. we went hiking at Kko head so we were going to work our way around the island to waimeas after. but apparently people took long so we couldn't go waimeas and we are out at like 11:30 ish at night! and we stayed there for 2 hours straight.

lesson learned would be to think before you do it or else you have to face the consequences. I would like to bring up this lesson again because it was when my dad would tell us this when we were younger and I never really payed attention to this until an incident happened with one of my closest friends. she can't do something because she made a mistake for me that I said I could take care of but she volunteered, and now she's in deep trouble so now I'm scared it'll effect me as it did for her.

HAPPIEST WEEK

okay so this week was so hectic honestly, especially dealing with banquet on Friday and still having to get this last minute. I've been having a rough time tryna get my grades up again, especially when I'm tryna pass grade check. also having to turn in my work while multitasking with my projects that's due this week. this week would have to be the hardest one yet I guess, but Saturday would have to be the best day that was all worth it despite the little struggle I had. this week I wasn't working yet, along with  the other 8th graders so we still have at least a week left or so. I'm not excited to going back to work because it pulls me away from my time, especially from people. but I realized that since I haven't been working then I started slacking on my homework. I have to bring up my grades and turn in my assignments I've been missing for the longest now. 

highlight of my week would obviously be Saturday. I slept over my friend's house that I got to see my other friends and my boyfriend there. we adventured out until   the morning and we caught bus to West Loch but we missed our bus just to see another friend that forgot to give us bus money. we literally snuck into a jeep and slept in there until morning around 5 ish to start walking. we got back to Tyson's house around 7 ish which took us like 2 hours or less maybe.

lesson learned would be just because one thing is completed doesn't mean you have to stop everything else. my biggest regret is still procrastinating. it's still a horrible habit I have and I'm tryna finish my work before my teacher's grade book closes. I'm tryna get my 4.0 since I couldn't in 3.8. that's one of my objectives.

ITEMS FOR DISPLAY BOARD

another thing would be my whistle from flag football, my caroling paper that I had trouble singing along w everyone, my award from last year in that folder from Awards night, picture of my period or the group we took recently, my build my house and my old farewell comment from last year

late blog: 4/21

I hate doing blogs maybe that's why I forget to do them because I'm always so busy during the day, especially during the weekends. This whole weekend I was either out with my friends or family. but I have to say that this weekend was probably the best one yet this month because I snuck out all the way from West Loch Fairways to the other side of ewa near Campbell just to see my boyfriend aha. But I went with Emma so we were out on Saturday night, she wanted to see her boyfriend too. but we didn't do anything bad so we went to pick up Nahe because he had to work but I wanted to go down there anyways to see Dale of course. Also it was my mom's birthday yesterday on the 24th so I sorta miss half that day cause I was with my friends but she didn't mind because I came after to see her. That lady deserves the world I swear but apparently, I can't give it to her yet so I'm working on it. But during my week, we had CCTV. I was on CCTV for a few times but not that much, I was with Caity and Kaya I believe. I never went on with Arianne for the longest so the next time I'm working that then I'll be with gabby and her because the school year is coming down to an end and I'll miss them so much. Then with all my other classes, damn T was all hectic because I tried bringing up my grades for the sake of progress reports and I only had a D which was okay but still not good enough because it was literally over one assignment. But they're all A's and B's, it's just I'm missing TONs of work but at least one every class. then I gave ARE that I didn't finish which I have a lot to read over time. I'm scared that my AR thing will go up because I didn't finish reading my other book. 

highlight would be Friday because that was when we had the luncheon altogether. we all ate spaghetti with garlic bread thanks to Mr. ing for making them. I like having luncheons because we're all together and it's all fun and laughs because we're just so happy to be in that situation, idk if it's because of the food but it's nice to be together as the school year diminishes. 

lesson learned would be to not act upon my anger. I have temper whenever someone wants to push my buttons or say false accusations about me. What I do is that I'll confront the person, being careless as always, and I'll speak my mind. I'm stuck up and straight forward, I don't have to say something behind someone's back if I could tell them in person unlike them. 

Orientation blog

so I know this one is late but we did do 3 orientation performances on two different days. We had Holomua & Ewa Beach on one day then we had the other schools on another day along with the parent one in the evening the same day. We guided them through the dress code policy and we showed them around campus so that they're aware of where to go. We also did a fashion show to explain and be detailed in explaining what they can wear to show examples. I was one of the people that had to wear footwear which was slippers.  We had different dances but I participated or ALL the girls participated in Summer Nights, Beauty School Dropout and We Go Together. Honestly my fave would have to be We Go Together because that's the one that had more intricate moves and it was super fun to do along side each other. it was Choregraphed by Gabby so props to her for making one of the best dance choreography.

my highlight would have to be speaking in front of the school in the beginning. Despite my nervousness, I managed to still be stable throughout my speaking and focus so I wouldn't mess up in the crowd of silence as they listened to what I had to say for them. Everything went so smoothly but one lowlight was when I messed up on Deriecka's officer introduction as I called her 8th grade instead of SBG then had to recorrect  myself for my wrong doing. but other than that, I'm very proud of myself how I managed to memorize my speech for the 6th graders as I reflect upon how the rest of the orientation goes.

Glo 1: I was a self directed learner because I was able to practice the dance routines with my group and was able to practice on my own to memorize my own speaking part.

Glo 2: I was a community contributor because when it came to working with a group, I participated in everything such as dancing altogether and practiced with everyone with the speaking. 

Glo 3: I was a complex thinker because when I stumbled across a problem such as forgetting what to say which speaking,  I managed to improvise and substitute it with something similar.

Glo 4: I was able to be a quality producer because I managed to speak briefly without messing up during the real event and show my effort from all the other practices. 

Glo 5: I was able to communicate clearly when I shared my ideas, everyone was able to understand it and asked questions if they had any concerns and I managed to have an answer for them.

Glo 6: I was an effective and ethical user of technology because I was able to work with technology, I was able to show my period how to use the projector and use the computer to trace drawings on. Also, I was able to handle the mic correctly and knew if I was too loud or not.

what I learned throughout the whole performances was that there was obstacles here and there but when the time came for us to do our best, we knew we had to be despite the little interference of our nervousness. Yes we had trouble with holding the banner, speaking parts and etc. but that didn't make us stop and ruin the whole orientation. we kept going on and persevered through our problems. and because of that, we support one another and help each other critique anything we need help on that concerns the whole thing we're doing altogether as a family. 

1st orientation of the school year

to start off orientation we had Holomua Elementary School and Ewa Beach elementary. Ewa Beach had so little kids, it was shocking how they only took up 3-4 tables while holomua took up one side of the cafe and that's only 3 tracks out of 4. We had the fashion show and everything of course then took them on the tour. I started it off by my speech I had to tell then right before we went on a tour. I think I did pretty good to start it off because it was so nerve-racking that I couldn't breathe after but I calmed down and im proud of myself for that. Had a few adjustments but it was all good after. But overall, I think altogether we did good because we prepared and did things under pressure and worked within last minute things we had to do. We still pulled through and managed to do it all together, if we messed up then we would pick each other up and continue on to deceive them as if it matches the whole thing to improvise. I strongly believe we need to work on people speaking parts so they get a hang of it especially for the parents because this isn't elementary people who we talking to after, it's parents who wana know that their child is safe and secured ask well took care of. We put in a lot of effort for one another and helped each other as we were guided by Mr.Ing but also did things independently for ourselves.

practice practice practice

the reason why I titled my blog "practice" three times was because that's all we've been busy about. we also had the responsibility of passing out forms but that's only officers while the rest have to keep up w the daily jobs set for our period each week. HURRAHHH for the joy of not passing out anymore forms next week because that makes me feel so much better, I hated doing that as it consumed my time a lot. I'm just hoping I could get through orientation week and grad. forms payment stuff successfully, I've been dreading the day until I'm all pau w them all. I just wana get through it because it hasn't really done a good impact for the beginning of my grades because right now, one of my classes isn't doing so good right now but I can't do anything about it but hope to do good on the other assignments I have planned for myself. which reminds me that for that class, I have a test and tutorials on that day while I still gotta finish this debate thingy based on what I believe of something but I can't recall of it as of right now. that sums up of how my week sorta of went crappy and I can't wait of how much more it could be by next week, I have to practice for Tuesday, Wednesday, & Thursday so pray for me as I'm tryna memorize my speech. I'm really nervous how I'll change my script last minute for the parents and not be able to remember by the time they come down to see me. but I'll be doing that tmrw while I get a few things for my outfits so that I'm not too busy yet I'm getting whatever I need. 

highlight of the week would have to be probably Friday when we didn't have practice during lunch aha. I actually got a break from practice that I've been wanting to have for the past week and I finally got it to spend my last day great but I did have afterschool so I ended up being really sweaty after. 

lesson learned would be to put it in all your effort, if you think it'll come easy your way, it won't. trust me, this whole week I wish to have luck in whatever I did but it didn't go so well which was so bummed out but then again, I can't expect "expected-miracles" yknow. I just want a break from being busy and I don't think I'll get that until later on which is when I'm bout to graduate. this is a bad time to have a new "priority" in my life as it stays complicated.

BACK TO SCHOOL

oh my god I'm so excited but little sad because this is the last quarter of second semester so that means I'll be off to high school soon which means summer is coming up. But at the same time, I'm so busy during this quarter so I'll dread it so much ugh, I need breaks but like Mr. Ing said, I won't get much or there won't be any. I'm hoping he'll let us go for some days because I really get bored of doing the same thing over and over again. Speaking of being busy, I forgot about getting my orientation clothes! ugh watch me get it last minute and I won't know what to get 😭 *cries*. Let's just say I started off this quarter very stressful haw, plus I have lots of testing going on with SBA along with my other classss. I can't wait when it's all over and I can just sit back and relax. I may even come to leadership over the summer for summer work days, I still wana be included in the activities. But throughout all my classes, it gone well but I really hate my odds I don't know why, it's always them giving  me homework to do. Also I have orientation practice but I got the moves down luckily so I don't embarrass myself. that's how my week went sonfar, it was short because of Kuhio Day thank god we sorta had an extra day of spring break.

highlight of my week would be Friday because I went to pho finally with my best friend so I watched her at practice for dance then unexpectedly sleptover but ate dinner with her family because it was the dad's last day before he goes to his business trip for something since he's in the army. but I really enjoyed that day because we did risky stuff that almost got us kidnapped oh my god, I hate that so never again.

lesson learned would to keep up with anything even if it gets hard. I learned that things will come my way in difficulty but I have to deal with it because it's part of life. Even if I wish things could change so easily without feeling something then it would be easier. 

Q. 3 Blog (((:

This quarter blog I'll be talking about what basically went on during this quarter. I can honestly say this has to be the best quarter yet honestly because this year I got many opportunities to do many things such as be in charge of Spirit Week. Everything went smoothly but hectic as the quarter came to an ending. It was filled with many new experiences and learnings which I'm glad to have spent it with my leadership class every single day as we all did it all together. Another thing we did was getting ready for orientation with all the dances, learning how to do the moves and especially finishing all the banners. We even had our track meet recently which we won this year! It's so exciting, I'm so happy that we won because we lost my first year at Ilima and I'm very thankful to have won my last year at Ilima. Overall, this quarter was filled with many surprises which resulted me into feeling so blessed to the max. Then, I really got to go out a lot this quarter meaning that I went around the island multiple times and even meeting new people on my boyfriend's side of the family. I loved this quarter as well as the others but like I said, this has to be my favorite one YET ahaha. If I could relive this quarter, I would but do it differently to improve some of my ways how I dealt things. I could say I have procrastinated as always which got me to struggle but there's always room for improvement and I hope next quarter can be differently.

highlight of this quarter would have to spirit week. it would have to be spirit week because we got to show our school pride but show our competiveness amongst the teams here. It's so exciting being in charge but you always have people on your back asking you 'what to do' or 'what can I wear' or maybe 'can I wear this?' But providing my help and service is what I actually like doing although I may get irritated easily if it all comes to me at once. The scores this year was very close, 8-2 was behind 8-3 by 15 points!!! I was so frustrated but I'm glad I got to be apart of this event and able to have my distribute in it. It was very intriguing announcing the winners for everything on a Friday which was the 12th of February, everybody wanted me to hurry up ahahah I was stalking a whole lot just for amusement. I did get a lot of questions from bunch of people but that only helped me build a tolerance for people I believe.

Lesson learned of this quarter would have to distribute my part in majority of everything. although I contributed my help a lot throughout everything I was assigned to do, I didn't get the chance to help out in the ending of some events. I also didn't get the chance to help out other people with some things such as painting for Shayna and Jolene, but I hope I'll have the opportunity to because I should really check up on Facebook since I was noticed last minute about it. I could improve a lot next quarter, I just have to show it and I'm going to be hard on myself to be on top with a lot of things since I've been lacking with my grades and helping out. I'll never be satisfied until I feel accomplished with doing a lot of things that is meaningful.

What I can improve on is to do my work with quality and efficiently rather than doing it last minute in the morning. I want to stop procrastinating but I know that'll take a lot of to stop because it is a horrible habit to break and prevent from happening again. I want to improve on a lot of things such as coming to school on time more so I can be with my period more often and help them through the difficulties they need me to teach them how to deal with. I really got to step up my game because I'm slacking a whole lot which makes me unhappy. I really got to stop being selfish with some things if I really want to come back and visit a lot for leadership. This class matters so much to me as the days start ticking away because of the short amount of time we have until summer break as we go onto spring break. Other than that, that's all on my checklist I can think of that I want to improve on.

this week seemed to go on forevahhh

this week was filled with new beginnings and very endings yet with excitement. for one thing, my period had CCTV this week. Another thing was that Mr. Ing was online until 7 then got off, waiting for an answer he's been wanting to get out of from of a specific person. this week was ridicously rough somewhat, me trying to juggle up my grades together as the days go by. I was on CCTV for Tuesday and Thursday with Kaya and Gabby. I realized I never really went on CCTV with Arianne or caity so can tell who's our partners for CCTV aha. but other than that, I went to practice on Monday and Friday, the same day we had a lockdown. That lockdown we had was because of Campbell because someone threatened to shoot up the goddamn school AGAIN, so I was stuck in a room with Mr. Ing and Shayanne when I was suppose to go to my fourth period. so annoying because we had to go overtime during recess into my fourth period for a long discussion that took over an hour when it shouldn't have. but we just really talked about what she struggled in, Hope on the hand was arguing with me because of her which is so inconvenient especially when she wana pick a fight at night time when I want to sleep. but really tho, this week felt good. I had to get shots afterschool on Thursday which resulted me to be sore for the past few days I got it since, but I was late on getting it so it would be good to get it now.

highlight of my week would be ok Friday. I would say Friday because I went to practice like I wanted to and I went over to my boyfriends house. we had a bomb ass day together to spend and it was nice seeing his parents again ever since last month I assume from my memory since the last time I saw his parents. But I love them and it was good to just have the rest of the day towards my boyfriend.

lesson learned would be to do stuff earlier than its due. I have a habit of also doing stuff last minute which results in me doing stuff quickly but with quality or gives the motivation to do it. Sometimes I don even finish on time which makes me not do it for awhile until I get help from chad or someone else. you can tell I count on chad a lot because he's my best friend and he helps me with my work to understand it more.

Late Blog 2/27

This week was a short week again which meant we didn't have school on Friday because of PD day for the teachers I believe. But this week from what I remember was that my period was working for ID's. I didn't finish school on Wednesday because I had another dentist appointment to get my sealants aka fillings for my back molars. But anyways, this week was busy ish to be honest since yearbook was due this week. All of my classes had something for me to do productively. Such as AVID, we were doing our CFA practice and did philosophical chairs with the 7th graders. For science, we learned a lot throughout every class period and had a different lesson to focus on but related to one another in a way. Also in social studies, we were starting a project that'll be due next week or the next two weeks because we're preparing right now. but that's all I can remember during that week.

highlight of it would be when I came over to emma's house in so long. I haven't been there for over a year now and it feels so good to get close to her and have someone that I know who won't just backstab me. I can actually trust her and she made my weekend unforgettable because whatever we did is not a regret. so many things happened that day that even resulted me in tears but solved it anyways.

lesson learned would be to compromise. I can't solve anything unless I have compromises, whatever benefits me should benefit my surroundings. I can't be selfish and think of what I want even if it'll hurt the person in the long run. whatever we can worth with, we just gotta do it and flaunt it as much as we could.

dakine

this week was short I believe. we only had 4 days of school this week and my period was working music this week. as always, I had a lot of catching up to do since it's my official day of school on Tuesday that marks the normality of school for me to go back to do what I've been doing, focusing on my learning. My grades actually aren't looking so pretty right now and I promised myself to aim for 4.0's for the rest of the quarters I have left of 8th grade to finish my years at ilima with a 'HURRAHHH'! oh and I left early on Wednesday to go to the dentist then I came back for practice but it turned out that we didn't have any 🙄 so irking. But it was fun having to the chance to end the week with the dance auditions for this event because I got to watch shayna's choregraphy. 

highlight of my week would have to be when my family went to the movies with my nephew that we haven't seen for a week. We went to watch Kung Fu Panda and it was such a cute movie, don't let the cover phase you because he doesn't have kids yet haha. but I would watch it again honestly, it's my childhood movie series I would watch.

lesson learned would be to think ahead. I would say think ahead so we can anticipate what other important things I have to do other than one thing that'll take up majority of my time. other than that, I can show quality within my work but I have a problem with staying on task because I tend to get off task and say to do things later.

Late blog: 2/6/16

Hey guys! so this is my late blog for the week before spirit week. I believe my period had Id's that week because I remember having Hope's period going on TV preparing for spirit week announcing all the important announcements. But also, I had to get the stuff for spirit week prepared so that we knew where everything was and everything was set. Ugh, this week has been so stressful because I have to manage to juggle up everything so that things can go as planned and smoothly. I had to be there cheer off practice then work on the mini activity worksheets then I also had yearbook but this week we had Hoss elections and I was nominated for one of the categories. This week was such a hectic yet fun to be honest but I know I'll have to be on top of my work since mid progress report cards came out. My grades are currently fine as of that week hahah, I'm typing this and its after spirit week so my grades aren't looking so pretty right now. But other than that, homework and my classwork have been piling up late;y since we have testing soon. I am so not ready for testing, ugh having to be here for the specified days because it's important. But I'm looking forward for the results afterwards but I'm so not ready for stressing out over the minor things and I'm scared I'll forget something so easy and when I input the answer it'll deduct points off. sooooo we'll see how everything goes after all the prepping for testing.
Highlight of my week would have to be when my cousins came to visit with my nephew that I haven't seen since his 1st birthday so I was super happy to see him. Also, we went around the island to adventure and show them the places we've hardly been to. It was nice going around the island and seeing the little changes they've done to make the place(s) look nice. But seeing my nephew JJ, he was so adorable and he's such a happy baby, I always wanted to hold him.
Lesson learned would have to be to anticipate. I believe throughout the week it was all about predicting what would happen for spirit week. I had to do a few preparation just to get ready and although it was sort of last minute, it's always good to make time for the important things that matter to a lot of people.

SPIRIT WEEK

this week was actually super fun and hella entertaining, this week consisted of spirit week. But it does make me sad that this will be my last spirit week at ilima. 8-3 has took the win and made Mr. Shim proud, although my team didn't, we still made Mr. Barayuga proud. this week has been filled with tears, joy, smiles and laughter. This has to be an intense yet memorable memory I have here. Other than that, I've been busy juggling cheer practice alongside with the mini activities I'm in charge of and also having to see my friends during that duration of time. So yes I've been busy but I'm glad I have helped out for the benefit of the school. It was a new experience for me being in charge of a big event that kids look forward to. On the other hand, I did get a call from Mr. Barayuga on Saturday morning explaining something to me that literally made my heart dropped with surprised, I don't know if him and Mr. Shim will be telling Mr. Ing but it's just a "wow" typa thing to take in. but in my school work, I've been trying to catch up in my work since I've been tryna juggle all the importance of this week. Hopefully   I could manage to finish everything by today or tomorrow, this is the reason of my late blog because I've been pushing work to the side for other major work that's really important.

highlight of my week would be Friday. It would be Friday because it was such an intense close call between my team and 8-3. I'm glad I was apart of a hell of a team that made an effort to show off what we have to offer. The relay race was just a very frustrating thing to watch, but I did run into some difficulties with that and had to choose a winner between 8-2 and 8-3 so I chose 8-1 instead and disqualified the other teams. But other than that, I did have a brisk talk with Mr. Barayuga and Mr. Shim about who should've won and they helped Coke down to a decision that wasn't selfish of theirs but owned up to what they did wrong.

lesson learned would be that it's okay to sacrifice what's meaningful to you for the benefit of other people's happiness. I have sacrificed my team's winning by disqualifying them and giving the win to 8-3. It took me exactly a whole advisory and a period to decide what to do because I was so indecisive with what I wanted to do. But either way they'll be talking based on whatever I announced, I'm just glad I made a decision that'll still put smiles on people's faces.

3-4 week of 3rd quarter

this week, my period was working Music after CCTV. Everything went smoothly with the shifts and etc, also I tried to keep my period on task with the yearbook and banners. Also, I could say that they've been keeping on task with AR too by themselves without me reminding them. My group still impresses me till this day, they give me less reasons to worry about them. But there is one that still needs to be kept an eye on, but she gets the job done also. Anyways, the only thing that I could recall from this week was that I took my AVID pictures, I'm in the 3rd row on the 3rd of the left side of the picture. There was a smaller avid class than last year because there was so much of us that we were rearranged in another area on the side of the stage. Throughout this week, I could say that my classes were okay for now as I had to sacrifice some of my free time dedicated to my class work. But I really need to turn in my missing assignments so I can get the grade for it rather than having minus points. Everything has been the same ish so far, just the testing is starting to come up a lot now. so I'm not so happy with the amount of boredom I'll be given. But other than that, I've been going to track and my body hasn't been sore lately but I'm currently am from the gym so hopefully it doesn't effect me next practices. Also, I'm not ready for the everyday typa deal of practice except for Wednesday.

highlight of the week would be on Tuesday. I had most of my free time that day so I got to spend it with good people then went cruising at my boyfriend's house after. I stayed for a few hours afterschool like 4 more and we finished our hw then played a few games ahaha, yes. but other than that, I was pretty tired that day.

lesson learned would be to apply my own words to myself. I tell people to do what needs to be done, like I'm a reminder for them but then I don't do the same for myself. I'm slowly being congested with work so I barely have free time and I'm starting to slack. I told myself I wasn't gonna procrastinate so I need to listen to myself and do whatever needs to be done to improve where I use to be.

1/23

this blog is a late one, again. My apologies to the lateness of this blog, I just barely have time to finish it with the amount of work I have to do and the times when I'm out with my family without having wifi. But anyways, last week my period was working CCTV, I went on a few days with Kaya and that was it since I let a few more people go twice. This week, I would say it was a little hectic than I expected it to be. I gained a new responsibility of counting ID's with Chad, the other president which is of 8th grade class. But anyways, my class consisted of tests, reviews, and in the making of projects to summarize it all up. I had to take a few tests for Social Studies that was from the text book which was sorta hard to do since not all of us got the concept of what specific piece of evidence from the text that would support our answer. Also, in Algebra, we've been going through easy reviews based on of CLT and distribution. CLT stands for Combine Like terms, we learned this last year so we brought it back to go over the new things we'll be learning about. I never had a problem with any of them, since it was really easy to finish and understand. Then in science English, and AVID we've been working on projects for the past class days throughout last week, all of them were due this week except for English. English we're sorta behind of things since my class took awhile on the journal #2 requirement. For AVID, Mrs. Wert is making us do a portfolio thing again based on our life turned into an autobiography essay. when I mean by 'life', I mean that we have to explain vividly our past/present/future. This project took us about a week to estimate. Then for science, it was started it on Thursday last week then it was due yesterday. So basically it was more of a get-things-together-to-finish typa week.

highlight would be track practice on Thursday, that was a fun practice with little bit of people again. We did new sprints exercises and incorporated new warm up routines to help get ready for the real practice since we're just conditioning for now. But anyways, that practice was fun because we were basically racing each other and my line caught up to the row in front of us which meant that the first row had to run the same thing again for losing.

lesson learned would be procrastinating will catch up to you in a short amount of time. Because of me focusing on other work, I never really gave attention to the small amount of work that meant a lot to my specific class. So to specify, me lacking the ability of being on task isn't going so well when I'm tryna be convenient to everyone when they need help with YB and etc. But therefore, I am a group leader to guide them how to do what in order to get the job done. 

    

3 day weekend!!!

this week has been somewhat a hassle, trying to keep up with everything. I've been tryna read into my schedule but lately I haven't had the time to which is frustrating me because now we have weekly goals. Not only that but grades are being Inputted immediately which means if I have any work to do that's worth a grade, I can't start off the new quarter with bad grades and I already did that by delaying my last weekly blog and taking some of my paperwork home with me after I went over it with the teacher. Also trying to get up early like I use to but I'm still trying my best to get my sleep schedule back on track, although I fall asleep around 12 ish due to work. But goddamn, some of my work I don't even finish and I forget to do it and turn it in which is a bad habit. In fact, by this weekend imma try and straighten everything out. Yes, I'm ranting in my blog about my week because I realized the terrible stuff that has happened with my education stuff despite the fact I'm irritated right now because of my family. I have to get back at the habit of being able to multi-task because apparently I'm lacking that ability right now. Anyways, this week my period and I had ID's which means I'll have CCTV next week. Not many new students came to ilima this week, just a few like maybe 2-3? which meant we had tours to do and I like doing tours because I get to meet new people and practice speaking to more people directly. other than my work, things outside of school has been blasè.

highlight of my week would be today, I would say today because I got to go to a volleyball game for women's of UH. Although UH lost, it was such a close  game and very antsy type. They kept doing turn overs and I just couldn't watch the very last few minutes/seconds because they literally tied last minute until riverside did a 3-pointer. it was an intense game tbh although I don't really watch basketball and I'm not really into it. But other than that, I enjoy watching games in person rather than from the TV because I can lose interest fast.

lesson learned would be to find calmness. I've been pretty hectic this week to start off the quarter due to amount of work and my priorities. They've been interfering with each other at the most unsettling times which is frustrating me. But it's life and I have to peace within this so I just breath in and out and just get the job done.

1st blog of 3rd quarter

so we finally got back to school which was on the 6th of January, Wednesday. Thank god it was Wednesday because I wasn't planning on staying later because obviously I would be super tired due to my sleep schedule since it's really whack now. Anyways, we only had three days of school so my group had music to start off the first week of school back of 2016. to start off the week, it wasn't as hectic as i thought it would be but we did start working on a few projects for AVID, English and Social studies. My other classes was just chilling out to give us a break to warm up for the rest of the quarter. Also, we started on one of the orientation dances which was Gabby's so we've been practicing that during homeroom since everyone is there. School has been small kine stressing me out due to early projects we just got to instead of taking a little break to adjust to the school system again. 

highlight of the week would be the first day back. I would say the first day back because I got to reunite with everyone and it was just good vibes all around that day to see how happy everyone was to see each other. Plus I got to play music that morning so it got me in the mood to be energetic and happy. 

lesson learned would be to practice things. In my opinion, I need to practice more to get good at things I'm starting off new to. Such as dancing, whenever I'm assigned to do doing a part, I should start practicing those moves to get better at the way I perform. Practice makes it perfect.

➋ Ⓠ. ⒷⓁⓄⒼ

If I were to sum up my whole 2nd quarter, I would say it caused me to feel happy, shocked, hurt (mentally), relieved & stressed. I learned so many things this quarter and a lot actually happened to end the 1st semester, (mentally hurt event in my 2nd quarter) sadly there was one thing I wish I could change and that was to get back my best friend that once left me for somebody else because they were guilty of having unstoppable emotions for that "somebody". The whole dynamics of this quarter, I felt as if I lost my closest friends while they turned their back on me for something bigger, I hardly go out on adventures after school anymore or I just sit back at someone's house till my parents pick me up. (stressed event-) I lacked in so many things this quarter but that didn't get in the way of me still perfecting my group to be the way they should be later on, I believe my 7th graders are ready to become group leaders by the time they need to apply again. Also, I've been trying to keep up with my responsibilities and my priorities but I've been failing at multi-tasking. I apologize to anyone in leadership if I felt rushed into doing something important which resulted me to be a b*tch to them at the school activity. With the amount of work being piled on us, as always, its been procrastinating which needs to stop because it'll happen again where I'll have to stay up all night just to finish all my overdue assignments. In my opinion, I've been focused on things that shouldn't come before my education, So I need to realize what's going on that is necessary or unnecessary. That sorta explains all my late work or laziness to do an assignment, and btw I'm the type of person who does my work at home because I do my best quality there. (relieved event-) Where I got to the point that I can finally relax and stay calm would be the last few days of school because I finished all my work that was piled on me & pulled through a last minute thing for a project. Which meant I had no homework for the leftover days & had time to catch up on my TV shows. (shocked event-)  Through this quarter, I'm actually really surprise at the way I've been trying to change myself for the better, left a good friend because they did me wrong on so many levels then still has the nerve to bring up the situation to people that I have to explain she's the wrong one, also I met someone who changed my whole perspective on 'desire' & 'love', staying out of drama with a positive attitude while I hate in silence, been helping others lately, and etc. I hope all of that continues for me honestly because I liked the way I wasn't involved into someone I shouldn't be &I I involved myself into the right things. But what really annoys me is this one person I known ever since 7th grade, and she's been such a total b*tch to me lately telling few of my secrets to her "new" close friends and insulting me, making me feel bad, one day I'll tell her straight up that I don't like her negative attitude in a nicely way to show respect for her to stop. (happy-) This is basically what motivated me to come to school & was literally my distraction to bunch of things. I knew this guy for awhile, we were talking but it didn't end well because he hurt me mentally and emotionally last year which resulted me into hating him for what he did to me. But we've been talking over the summer a little and during break, so we got closer and ended up growing strong feelings for each other. you'll probably think "what are you thinking?! going back to the guy who broke your heart!?", but the thing is I've always had a thing for him even though he hurt me. I just wish he had the opportunity to be with me at that time but he decided to leave me, but it doesn't bother me because I'm happy he did because without the incident I wouldn't be with him this present day, still loving him hard. He changed my whole dynamics on what 'love' was, I felt every possible emotion there is to feeling happy. I'll still do anything for him, he's my best friend. Like I always live up to, "things happen for a reason". that's sorta my whole 2nd quarter within a paragraph I guess. 

highlights this quarter would be getting the boy I've always wanted, adventured with a few of my elementary friends, been focused on school lately which kept my 4.0 streak for the 1st semester, and just ultimately smiling because although I think life is terrible it's just great mannnn. Lowlights of the quarter would be not getting my best friend back, scolding some of the 7th graders for not thinking wisely of their actions, sacrificing majority of my free time to do (a) school event(s), and for lacking in making new friends, also having the eagerness to adventure but couldn't. 

lesson learned of the quarter is that "things happen for a reason". I believe things result in your life due to what plan God has for you, although I don't go church anymore lol I still think of him as a very important person who helps me get through my hard times. I made regrets, mistakes, accomplishments, and etc, and it's all because I'm living my life the way I chose to. As long as I'm learning from my mistakes and regrets, I'll better myself each day. It'll take time to get where I want to be in life, and that's okay because I'll get to experience my growth physically and mentally. Never let a day go by of you not doing something that'll change you for the better. 

I have a few things I wanted to improve myself on to start off the new year and 2nd semester. I need to get better at prioritizing my responsibilities, to stop procrastinating, extract the negativity from my life, and to just make friends with new people that'll accept me for who I am. Is there anything that I'll like to change or improve in the leadership classroom? always, I need to get back up at being creative with the way I handle things, I need to come to school earlier like I use to, to be on time and set a better example of my 7th graders every time.
