This is What Happens When I Get Bored!!!
Current Mood: Literate
UPDATE!!
Yes, dearest April is back!!! And I have not come back empty-handed!! I have come with loads of bug bites and tanned to the max ((Although I never thought I could get any darker!)). Fun! Beautiful lake, Lake Casitas... Nice water park thingy... Eating through Drive Thru restaurants are fun... and so is sleeping in the trunk of our car instead of the tent. I feel so much safer there... I look burnt. Literally burnt. As if I was a barbeque forgotten on a burning hot stove thingy... Yikes. I remember when I did that on accident. The fire alarm turned ff and the whole reeked the smell of smoke for at least three days. Now I know how that burnt barbeque feels... poor thing. Because according to the Skittles commercial "Everything has feelings!" And we all know that we should listen to the commercials! My little brother always trusts the commercials and when they're advertising, it gets so annoying when he watches because after the commercial, he goes, "Oh we should buy that... Oh we should buy tickets to go there... Oh we really need that... Oh I want that toy now... Oh let's watch that..." Yaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!! Well it's not that bad I suppose. He couldn't swim if his life depended on it anyway.... Eh. That's what the swimming lessons are for!! Which reminds me, I'm not the only one who has come back tanned to look practically burnt! Haha. My brothers match me! Which I guess is a bad thing... Especially since they are ((or WERE)) sooo much lighter than me! Ahahahahahhaahaaaaaa.......... Anyway. Yeah. Haha.
IN OTHER NEWS TODAY....
I have become a godmother!!! "No no, do not call me Ate April, call me Ninang April!" I hope those are her first words...! It would be sooo uber cute if it were! "Ni...nang?" Awwwww. Isiz... That's here name. It's supposed to be pronounced "Eye-seez." Iono. That's what my cousin named her... I think I'll call her "Ai-Ai." Funny name. Haha. And I shall teach her the art of MUSIC!!!!!!! Whoo... Hmm. I'll make her play... Clarinet. For the fact that clarinet and flute duets are pretty together. Well, I can't realy help her then because I dunno how to play clarinet... So I guess I'll teach her flute! So much easier to teach. Then she can find her own clarinet buddy. Haha. And I shall also teach her... Other stuff. That involves... Math and stuff. Because everyone needs math in their lives! Like... y'know... for shopping and stuff... Haha! Shopping! That's what I'll teach her!!! Oh and I could never forget tennis. Yes. And running. Which is involved in tennis. I'll make her do laps in swimming. Because I'm such an evil godmother like that. But then I'll give her presents because I'm soooo nice like that. So yeah. She has the HUGEST lips! I went to visit my cousin in the hospital to see Isiz for the first time, and the first thing was "Ohmigosh! Those are Angelina Jolie's lips!!" Creepy but yeah. Supposedly she was pouting once she got out of her mother's womb. An now I know why. It's not because she was feeling all moody, it's because it's natural. Since she can't keep her lips up for that long, so she'd rather droop them. Yep, but it was sooooo adorable when she yawned, opened her eyes and smiled! Everyone except for my cousin ((who was obviously tired)) went "Awwwwwwwwwwww."
BAND PRACTICE. *AHEM!*
For the people who are in the band... Are you all confused?? Okaaaaay, soooo... Official meetings start in August!!! So yeah, not sure exactly when, but once I figure it out I'll let you all know. Because I really don't want to drop this, especially since I've been talking about it for ages, and stopping now would make me seem as if I'm just all-talk. Which I probably am but I want to change that. So yeah. I've gotten my chords down! Yes!! And stealing my brother's acoustic for a while now... Mommy said she'd buy me an electric guitar if I'm still working with the band!! And Kuya has been teaching me the basics in guitar playing, also, I have been reading off of this Chords Book, filled with all the basic and complicated chords that I need or want to know. It's for Guitar and Piano, so it's very useful for me! Which reminds me, I SERIOUSLY need to learn how to play a new song on the piano, because playing Canon over and over again is getting old. I know it's a beautiful song, but after a while, it just gets dull. I'm more of a classical being when it comes to piano playing, so I'm guessing i should learn Beautiful Dreamer only because I've already started learning the bass part to it, and i think if i play really really slowly, i can add the melody part on the right hand also. So yeah. I know it's one of those old songs that maybe only old people would like, but whatevah. To me, the chords are peaceful and nice. And that's all I need from a piano piece.
OH LOOK: IT'S THE FOLKS!
I have my uncle from the Philippines coming over. Actually, they've already arrived at my house. Yeesh... I didn't even know I had an uncle from the Philippines. My dad never really talked about having a brother... Even though he's talked about his sisters... Strange. I had never known that my uncle had ever existed. So now I feel quite guilty about that. Though it's not practically all my fault since he never said anything. Or maybe it is partially my fault because I had never asked. Well I was never really curious about it. I would know if I ever had any uncles or aunts or nephews or nieces once they came around. And now one HAS come around. Freaky Deaky. Ah well. hey stayed up soooo late last night, that I had to stay up equally late as well. My big brother had to sleep early though ((like, around 2am)) because he needed to wake up at 7am for LAVC. Poor guy. Anyway. I was able to use his laptop!! Whoo!!! So yeah. I got to use it, and I was so focused on Gaia and Myspace and getting gold, that I had lost track of time, and once I looked at my digital clock in my room, I realized it said 4:30am. I was like "Holy shiznit!!! It's waay past my bedtime. Fudgecakes!!" So yeah. They were still laughing and drunk ((I'm guessing...?)) and I couldn't sleep. So I just listened to them laughing and drinking and talking and gah. I lack sleep now. So I'm sleeping early tonight. Yeah, sorry folks.
AND SWING AND... WOAH THERE!
Yeah, tennis lessons are really freaky. They treat me like a child as if I dunno anything. Which I don't, but they don't have to treat me like I've never touched a tennis racket before!! Yeesh. I can swing... Maybe a little too hard though. I hit the GYM window... But after that swing, I did another swing that was SOOOO COOLIO. So the lady threw the tennis ball a little too low ((like she always does because she thinks I'm shorter than I look apparently...)) and I got kind of aggravated by that, so I hit it sooo hard, and it flew.... all the way to the Basketball Court... and THEN... It shot inside the hoop! It was amazing!!! And the lady looked at me as if I was this freaky looking goddess. Even I was so out of it. But I still can't believe it now! Ahahaaa. But on the downside, ((Haha, I put the good news before the bad news... So perfect of me.)) I'm surrounded by little five year olds. Or eight year olds, I really can't tell the difference. The only thing is I'm the only teenager there. I'm so lonely! And so when we line up to hit the tennis balls, I have to go on my knees to match their height and blend in so other people won't see I'm the tallest one there and point and laugh at the teenager who is in a class with a bunch of little kids. It's alright, because I have a perfect reason to join my little brother and his nephew: I'm looking after them. Haha.
OH MY... SUMMER LOVE.
Oh I simply adore swimming now!!!!!!! Ahhh I'm in the Intermediate Class now and nothing can be better than that! I'm finally surrounded by people of my age!!! Yesssssss!!!!!!!!!! And I've got one very good looking lifeguard too. Yes, I am almost on my way to victory!! He knows my name. How he knows my name, I don't know, but he knows my name. And I've had PLENTY of moments with him, although I'm kinda sad because it's mostly me making fun of him and him trying to counter my teasings. But it's sooo much fun. Heck yeah it is!!! I still have some fresh memories of what he says to me. Kinda creepy I know, but I just can't stop!! Haha.
"Hey! You two seem familiar," he said, pointing at me and my swimming buddy, Annie.
"No. I'm sorry, I can't remember where I've seen you before," I said bluntly.
Ahahaha. Good times. That was in the beginning of class. Yes, I MUST play hard to get. Pssshhhh.... xD
"I must admit, I'm the worst teacher when it comes to diving..." he sighed.
"Yeah I know," I said to myself. But he heard. Whoops.
"Well can you explain how you passed my class last time, then?" he said, crossing his arms.
"Of course: the substitute helped us so much more in a day than you would have in a week." I smiled.
"Don't make me drop you two classes before we even start class..."
He's really funny. It was mostly Annie who made fun of him and his minimum wage. Ouch. Of course, he denies that he even has a minimum wage, and even told us how much he got payed for an hour. I was like, 'Woah there, too much info.' xD
We started learning how to dive, but then it was my turn.
"I dunno what to do..." He rolled his eyes.
"It's always YOU who I have to go in the water with, isn't it?" and he took off his shirt. All of the girls in the class stared.
So when the class ended, Annie had to leave early, and I had to wait for my little brothers because they had a class next. It was really awkward because he decided to take watch on that mini-tower thingy instead of teach, so I was left alone on the other side of the pool while he watched. I was tired of doing laps, so I decided to sit next to the ladder which went up the mini-tower. And so I decided to start a conversation.
"So... How many laps can you do?" I asked out of curiousity, because so far i could only do two around the whole pool.
"As many I wanted!"
I raised my eyebrow. He was such an arrogant a**...
"I could even go on for thirty minutes, but y'know, it gets boring after a while..." He went on.
But I had given up on trying to have a conversation with him. Always showing off and such... So I dived in the pool. Because that's what he had taught me. I must admit, he is a good teacher...
Once I got up to the surface of the water, he screamed my name with the big mega-phone thing.
"APRIL!"
"What?!" He startled me, so I had almost drowned once he said my name.
"You can tread water!" he smiled.
"Well, yeah. Barely!!" I said, clearly getting annoyed.
"Aren't I a good teacher?" he smirked.
That's when I remembered that when I was barely learning how to swim ((like, two weeks ago)) he forced us to go into the deep water so we could learn how to tread water ((float on water for a while)). I completely failed at it, mostly because of the way he taught it to us ((I had no idea what he was saying.... partially because I was getting so distracted by how good he looked)) so it was lucky that I was able to pass the class in the first place. And now here I was, treading water before his very eyes. Which meant that he was a good teacher.
That's the whole reason how we actually know each other. We're always fighting. My theory is he isn't a good swimming teacher ((he's only 17 yrs old for crying out loud! Not even an adult yet!! Too young to teach! He might drown an innocent child! Like me!!!)), and he says that he is the most perfect swimming teacher ((Pfffttt....)). So yeah. That's our story. And it goes on.... I wonder who will win.
P.S. I MUST find out his name soon!!! Dx
Love, Abby <33
