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.
