I haven't been on xanga for a while.. haha, that's how most of my entries start. I've been so busy, that I can't even write down my life.

Today we went to the senior citizen's home in somers pt. It was interesting. Aish won in monopoly, andre won a raffle and couldn't decide whether to donate the money, and afterwards we drove 35 min. down to Stone Harbor to visit a camp for about 15 minutes. A camp where, btw, Bea is in, along with Rod and Fatima. I'm so excited for them! But that's okay that we couldn't stay long, because it was nice to see everyone.. and although I'm still too shy to really talk to some of my CFC youth brothers and sisters, being with them is still something I look forward to. And I think (hopefully) I'm getting less shy.  

Well, that's all for right now. I hope I can write again soon!

Omgsh, I'm leaving tomorrow..

Right now our family is going into all-out get-ready-right-now-mode. Okay, not like that, really, but we're gonna have to, since we're leaving so soon.. I think the last time I may see my friends was yesterday.  Jela's party may or may not be today, I'm really confused about that, but no swimming, because it's rainninnggg.

We still have lotsa cleaning to do, but if we clean all today, we should be able to do it.  I'm so scared for the trip! Well, not scared, nervous, really.  I just want to get to the Philippines and be done with it-- heck with the 13 hour first flight!  I'm going to be soo bored on the flight.. thank goodness I'm not air-sick, like my sister claims to be.

Btw, we're not going to Plantation Bay anymore, as some of the restaurants are closed..  According to my uncle, that's not good, because we won't have much food or something. But I really wanted to go there, cuz it's really cool!! Now we're going to Borocay, though.. which is also nice, but I was looking forward to Plantation Bay..

I may update later.. but for now, I gotta run!  Wish me a safe trip!

Okay, so I'm posting again..

There's only what, 5 days and a couple hours left till I leave for the Philippines.. I'm only a quarter of the way through my packing..  I'm so excited! And nervous, cuz the trip's soooo long.  Well, I've been on the trip there once or twice already, but that was when I was younger. I really should be cleaning and stuff right now, because my mom wanted us to have the house clean before we left for the Philippines, and there's only less than a week left before we do leave.. oops.

It's been a pretty confusing and fun week. Lots of things have happened that were great, but there were lots of things that weren't so great. I don't think I'll name the not-so-great things, though. But here's something great that happened.

Last week we went to the beach!!!  Cam couldn't come along since she had to volunteer, but otherwise it was great. Oh wait, and the jellyfish..  Can't forget about those things, especially since they were all over the place later on in the day, and a few dead ones were floating around..

Something that was a big not so great happened too, but I don't think I'll write it here.. who knows who's still on xanga, and it may be none of their business.

Okay, so back to the Philippines. Ahh, that reminds me of how I have to clean!! haha, anyways. We'll be leaving the house at around 6PM on Sunday, because Tito Joe and Tito Arthur are driving us to NY to go to the JFK airport, where our flight leaves at midnight. Then, we're stuck on a plane for like, 13 hours, and then have a stop in Korea for a couple hours.. sheesh. Of course, I'll be bringing something to do on the plane, such as my summer reading. But even that will only take me an hour or two if I read it straight through. There'll most likely be an in-flight movie (or more). I wonder if they'll be any good...
     After that, we have a shorter flight to the Philippines. We'll be arriving there in the morning.. can you say major jetlag? .. and then I don't know what. We're going to be there for soo long! Which is like, 28 days.  We come back on August 20th.. I'm going to miss my friends.. but I haven't seen my relatives in forever, including my newest cousin, Rowan. And his sister Kirsten, who I haven't seen since we all went to California in 2003 for my aunt's wedding. Might be a little lonely, though, since it's school time over there, and my cousins will be in school.. except Rowan, of course.  Also, we're going to this beach resort while we're there.. clear water, swimming pools.. ahhh.  Can't wait!

Now I really should get to cleaning, or my mom will scold me when she gets home.

I really need a new xanga layout.  I don't like the one I have now.  

No one really goes on xanga anymore.. which is why it makes for the perfect place to write-- I mean type-- how I feel or events that I forget to write by hand in my journal. Because typing is so much easier than writing.

Anyways. In just 20 days we'll be leaving for the Philippines. For four whole weeks! I'm all excited, but I'm really gonna miss my friends and NJ.. and I won't be able to go to my first conference..  But I haven't been to the Philippines in years, so this'll be pretty interesting.

Isn't it hard when people ask you if you like someone, and at the time you're really not sure? It's easier to have a definite crush, if you ask me.

This summer has been sort of boring, besides the fact that I went to the boardwalk with S6 & co. but otherwise it's been pretty dull.. things will probably start happening soon, though. And when they do, I'll try to get myself to post it here.

With all other things set aside, I'd say life's pretty good right now.

Hookay.. and yes, I'm alive! =D

Ladies and gentlemen, I am back!  Yes, I know, after a million years I'm back for another once in a lifetime entry.. I've been thinking about updating more, though.

And school is coming to a close.. I really can't believe it! It went by so slowly, but then again here we are at the end of the year! Sheesh, how time flies.. even though there are times when it doesn't seem like it's going so fast. And CCD ended a bazillion years ago, so there.  Anyways, theres still about a month of school left, so I shouldn't be gloating yet.

Also, I'm an official CFC Youth member! Woot woot!  It's been really great.. precon was like, two days ago, and even though we (S6 and co.) didn't participate in anything it was still pretty fun. I have to say, though, I'm intimidated by all those CFC Youth members.. I mean, the ones up north, not the ones living nearby.  I don't know why..

Well, if any of my fellow xanga subscribers are on, comment! But it's all right if ya don't..

Later skaters!
