i haven't posted in a little over a week. mainly because i've been busy (ehem) and the internet was shot. we got cut off because dad forgot to pay it (he's getting old). smartbro said that it would we back in 24 hours after payment. so dad paid for it and we tore ourselves away from the internet for a while...not the computer though. remember, there are other things to do in the computer that go online. after almost 3 days, hallelujah, the internet is once again up and running!

ever since my last post, what have i been up to? well, i went to enchanted kingdom on the 20th with my canadian cousins and my two sisters. it was so much fun! we went on every ride except those rides for kids only with a height limit and the swan ride. and i mean every ride. for the first time, i rode the space shuttle! can you believe? my back hurt like crazy afterward especially the nape part but it was all right. i kept my eyes closed throughout the ride and my head bowed down which probably caused my aching back. i didn't exactly know what to do since it was my first time on the ride so i'm taking down notes to improve my next ride on the space shuttle.

on the 22nd, i sent in a text message to kelly at magic 89.9. on the first text, i just wrote "can you please play thnks fr th mmrs by fall out boy? thanks! -andrea". and so i waited around for her to play the song and mention my name on air. well, she didn't play the song but she did greet me. she just sort of said my name in passing along with the other people who texted in. that was cool but that just didn't cut it for me. so itexted again. this time i texted "can you please play with love by hilary duff? any chance you'll be giving away harry potter tickets in the near future? will you please greet my best friends ysabel, daryll, and sam? thanks ms. kelly -claire". i made myself sound like an 8 year old because it seems like kelly likes kids. well, she did greet me and my friends, addressed the question of the harry potter tickets and told me that with love was no longer in the play list but she will try to find it. her words (as i remember them) were: got a message from claire asking with love by hilary duff, that's not in the cards anymore but i'll try to find it for you. will we be giving away harry potter tickets anytime soon? well if we had harry potter tickets i'll be keeping them for myself! (laugh) claire wants to greet her best friends ysabel, daryll and sam. oh, no worries, claire." so that's the story of my radio message from kelly!

on the 23rd and the 24th was the idol finale! they both "did their thing" and was really impressive. i liked what simon (or was it randy) said: its a battle between the singer and the superstar so we can't really tell. well, JORDIN WON! i was kinda rooting for her but i really like blake. i just hope that blake will be more successful. i dunno. i want jordin to win but i want blake to succeed. i hope the latter part comes true because the former already did. also on the 24th was my violin lessons. it was only for an hour so i didn't feel like i learned anything but i'll be coming back on the 31st with vengeance for my poor performance on this day. i just have to perfect #9 and 8. so to do that...i have to practice. i haven't been doing that..hehe

on the 25th was Yan-Yan's birthday. we just had a big homemade dinner for her and they went to a comedy club after. i couldn't go because there was bound to be some dirty jokes. pshh..as if. when they got home (about 2 o'clock) they didn't look that satisfied. turns out they went to Zirkoh and there was more singing than joke-telling. too bad. they should have gone to punchline...not Zirkoh. on the 26th they took off to go to tagaytay highlands. kuya jay didn't come with them. i wouldn't have taken his place because i'll just feel awkward. and the fact that i was only a sub didn't exactly entice me. i was supposed to go in the event that kuya jay couldn't come but they didn't wake me up. i bet mom had something to do with it >.<

on the 27th my dad and i went to san simon, pampanga to check out a car that he was getting tricked out as a funeral service car. it was the benz that we used to drive around. shame. and the van that we are now driving around has now been turned into yet another funeral car. i think dad is showing me the ropes coz he wants me to take over the funeral business. ack! no way in hell! after that, we went to TriNoma. the new mall near SM north edsa. its huge and so beautiful. its an ayala mall after all. about half the stores remain unopened but so many people are already checking it out. that mall is officially my new favorite mall. so there.

today, the 28th, i went back to STC to get the rest of the stuff i need for school. i also drove around with my dad to find those dang acrylic plastic sheets that just can't be found. it took us about 3 hours to find it. thank gawd it wasn't a minute more or i would have gone spoiled brat on my dad and made us go home. nahhh...i would never do that. not after he just bought me Php2000 shoes. got it at hush puppies in trinoma :) hihihihi...haven't told mom about it yet. she'll freak! so now i have 2 days to perfect my violin skills. i hope i do get it done. so many events just keep popping up. so many things to do, so little time...have i mentioned school starts on the 6th?????
