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.
