LSS OF THE DAY: "THANK YOU" BY JULIANNE

Her album's coming out today. Hahahaha!:)

I had a very interesting week. Pretty busy, but it was still okay.

I watched a concert with Jane last Friday. It was a benefit concert for the typhoon victims in Bicol. A little late now, don't you think? But at least they're still doing something about it. The concert was so much fun! Even though we did stand for 4 hours straight. Hahahaha!:) Tiempo, Hilera, Julianne, Orange and Lemons, Slapshock, Sugarfree, Hale and Rivermaya performed. SLAPSHOCK RULEZ!!! We kept on jumping up and down until our feet felt like they were on fire! Hahaha!:) I took a lot of pictures. And I mean a LOT. I'll upload them in my Multiply when I have the time:)

The next day, January 24, I woke up early and I headed to my cousin Maui's house in Fairview. I had an interesting conversation with her dad. Too many stuff to mention. Hahahaha!:) And then I met her boyfriend, Kuya Julius. He was a bit shy at first but after we started talking about some random stuff, he was a lot better:) We left for Baguio around past 11. I was still sleepy from the concert the night before so I kept on dozing in and out. When we got to the big lion's head, we went down and took some pictures since it was Kuya Julius' first time to go to Baguio, EVER. At around past 5, we arrived at the cottage. I was very surprised when I saw a lot of people there; I later gathered that Maui's relatives from her dad's side were there. So many. Hehehehe:) We heard Mass after a quick mirienda; Tita Marissa said tha the Mass will start at 6:00, but when we got there, it was already starting. We looked at the schedule and found out that they chahnged the time! Annoying! We had no choice. We heard Mass and went back to the cottage. We were so tired. We all did our own thing; Maui and Kuya Julius atarted studying coz they were going to have a test on Monday. I just stared at them while they were talking coz I had no idea what they were saying; all those scientific terms and stuff. Science. Ech. So anyway, we talked and talked. We talked about a lot of stuff! Hehehehe!:) I was asleep by 12 something. SO COLD.

The next day, all of us were up by 7 because Tita Marissa wanted us to get to Session Road for the Flower Festival early. She hired three vans to take us to Vizco's, a restaurant beside Don Henrico's. We went to the second floor, which Tita Mariss reserved for us and ate breakfast. I just had Belgian waffles. My stomach wasn't in the mood for anything with rice. Then me, Kuya Juilus, Bryan (Maui's cousin), Kuya Stan and Kuya Abner went to the market to buy some bracelets that Bryan showed us the night before. On our way there, I ran into Bryan Villaflor, who was one of my classmates from high school. It was so good to see him again. He got thinner. I wonder what he's been doing to himself. Anyway, after I saw Bryan, we continued our walk towards the market. So. Many. People. I bought a lot of bracelets! They're so pretty! Kuya Julius bought a lot of stuff; bracelets, lengua de gato, chocolate flakes. As proof that he's really been to Baguio. Hehehehe:) On our way back to the restaurant after going around the market, we got stuck in just one place because of the people. We got flattened by the sheer number of people. We really couldn't move. People were pushing and shoving, it was really irritating! And me and Bryan got separated from the rest of the group because there were a lot of people who kept on cutting in front of us! Bryan and I started panicking. And I ALMOST got separated from him because there was this particularly nig guy who wanted to cut in front of me; but Bryan (who's a pretty big guy himself) had his arm wrapped around my waist so I won't go anywhere. I was really grateful for that. At least I wasn't alone. And things just started getting worse. On the street, the candidates for the election started walking and they stopped RIGHT IN FRONT OF US! Geez! Then the more the people will refuse to move! They went crazy when the people on the floats started throwing shirts and candy; they were starting to push and shove even more. I nearly fainted, but Bryan held his grip on me. We stood there for like 15 minutes or so. Finally, people ahead were starting to move. With very small and slow steps, we made our way out of the crowd. It was so tiring! We were sweating so badly because the sun was shining down on us from where we stood. I saw Kuya Stan and he waved me over to where he was. I looked back to see if Bryan was behind me, but he was still stuck in there! I immediately told Kuya Stan but he told me to go to where Maui was and he'll wait for Bryan to come out. When he finally come out, he was sweating so badly and I was afraid that he might collapse from sheer exhaustion. But thank heavens nothing seriuos happened to us. We continued walking towards the restaurant where everybody else was waiting. I took a seat as soon as we got there and I took pictures of the floats passing by from my chair. That's how exhausted I was.

After the parade, we went to this small restaurant called "OH MY GULAY". It was a pretty interesting place. It's hard to describe. I'll post the pictures on my Multiply next time; my digicam ran out of batteries.

Alright. I have so many things to do. So, the professors finally decided to rain down everything on us.

Great. Just great.

It's my older sister's birthday today. She could have been 19 today. Please pray for her. Thank you.

LSS OF THE DAY: "I HAVE DREAMED" BY PHONG TRUONG AND ARMI ARABE


Musical mode:) That song's from "The King and I", western version. I love that musical! Especially the CD, where Lea Salonga plays the role of "Tuptim". Uhh. To those who can't relate, I would be more than happy to lend you either the DVD or the soundtrack:) Just ask:)

Alright. Let's get down to business. Oy. Mulan. Nice. Hahahaha!:)

I spent almost the whole day going around, looking for professionals to answer our darn questionnaire for Psychology. Damn you, Bolanios. At least it was just ten questionnaires. Imagine if it were more than that. I'd get darker, my legs will feel like their on fire, my face will be SUPER oily and so on. Hay. Oh well. It was worth it. I managed to have all of them answered by 4:30 this afternoon. Yipppee!:) Dad helped a lot. He had some of his friends answer four of them. It was really nice of him:) Love him:)

Something Dennis said yesterday got me thinking: what if, my great-grand mother never migrated to the Philippines from Germany? Would she have had a different family, if she didn't marry my great-grand father? Would I still be here? Who would I be right now?

Of course, I'll never know the answers to those questions unless I had the power to turn back time and change everything myself; which, of course, is not true.

And then another question hit me: what if my Dad never met my Mom? Would things be different right now? Would I be happier? Would I be less-depressed? Would I not think about suicide? Could I have prevented hurting myself?

Once again, I cannot answer those questions. I wish I could, though.

And I thought that spending time with Dennis was nothing but fun. But he actually got me to think. Wow insan. That's a big thing! Hahahaha!:)

Sorry if I'm not making that much sense. I just had to get it out before I drive myself crazy. Hahaha!:)

By the way, I've added new pictures in my Multiply. I added the pictures I took while I was in the U.S. WARNING: YOUR EYES ARE GONNA POP RIGHT OUT OF YOUR SOCKETS. Let's just say that when you compare what I looked like then and how I look like now, you'll notice a BIG difference. See them if you want to:) Please leave your comments on the tagboard or on my Multiply, if you have an account:) ------- http://lauredilian.multiply.com

HAPPY CHINESE NEW YEAR!! :)

I guess that's all I can say for now.

'Til next time y'all!:)

LSS OF THE DAY: "IT'S NOT OVER" BY CHRIS DAUGHTRY

Yahoo! Chris has a new song! He was my favorite contestant on American Idol last season. I was really rooting for him; HE could sing. I was so disappoined that he got kicked so early in the show. I loathed Taylor Hicks. I wanted him to trip while he was doing those ridiculous dance moves. He looks so old! He looks like a grandpa! And he reminds me of Mom's boyfriend. Eeeww!!


Anyways, push that aside for a minute before I start rambling on about it again (until now I'm STILL not over it), I'm gonna say something else.


I left for Manila yesterday around 2:30 in the morning. And the thing was, I didn't sleep at all at home. And in the bus. I was wide-awake through the whole ride. Then I took a taxi going to the dorm. I can't believe how expensive it was! I got to the dorm around 6:45. I changed into my uniform and I went straight to school. I was so sleepy through all of my classes. When I got to the dorm after class I didn't even sleep. Goddness, I was so tired. I'm still tired, come to think of it.


I went home with my cousin today, Dennis Caliwag. HE NEVER STOPS WHINING. I swear, my patience was starting to wear thin from his constant complaining. We met up in Chowking in Dapitan because he said that there was a bus station nearby. So when we got there we found out that the next bus leaves at 5:30p.m. Obviously not wanting to go home that late, I immediately told him that we should go to Cubao and take Victory Liner; that's when he started complaining. I explained to him that we had tp go to Espanya to ride the jeep but he insisted on hailing a taxi. Dear lord. I really couldn't persuade him to take a jeep. So we stood there, waiting for empty taxis to pass by. All of them were full. Finally, after about ten minutes or so, I forced him to give up and begin our walk to Espanya. He gave in. While we were walking he kept on saying that, "it's so far!" and stuff like that. I was trying to get him into talking about something else but it didn't work. Hay. When we got to Espanya, he continued to whine; until he spotted an empty taxi. He hailed it and we clambered in, and we were off to Cubao, much to the satisfaction of my dear cousin.

When we got to the bus station, he continued his complaining about how long the bus took to leave. About this time, I learned to just laugh at him every time he does that. It helped me blow off some steam. On the road, we talked about a lot of things. I learned a lot from him and I hope he learned even just a little bit from me. I kept him updated with the stuff that happened to me since we last saw each other, which, by the way, is a VERY LONG STORY since we haven't seen or talked to each other in over ten years. Here are just some of the stuff I learned about him.
  • He just found out that two of our titas were my mom's sisters.
  • He just found out that our lolo was my lola's husband (it's kinda hard to elaborate)
  • He's on probation - this is when you failed at least two subjects during the first semester and you're given a warning that if you fail at least one more subject during the second semester, you're gonna get de-barred; in other words, KICKED-OUT.
  • He has to sleep for 15 hours straight or else he'll be in a bad mood the whole day.
  • He's tamad when it comes to going to school; he didn't fail his subjects because he didn't study, he failed because he was always absent.
  • He sleeps at 3a.m. EVERY DAY.
  • Mom's boyfriends and his ex-wife are their family friends. Oh dear lord.
  • He's had more girlfriends than anyone else I know.
  • His shortest relationship lasted 30 minutes.
  • Girls court him; he doesn't court them.
  • His last relationship ended just last January. I forgot to ask how long they were together.
  • He's really close with his old high school buds.
  • He talks highly of his family.
  • He loves brazo de mercedez and blueberry cheesecake. Same here, dude:)
  • And the biggest shocker of all: HE SMOKES. Oh no. Insan.

I got so upset when we stopped in Dau. He went down and smoked. Then when we stopped in Tarlac, he smoked again. When he got back inside the bus, he postively reeked of cigarette smoke. He took out his perfume and started spraying it all over his body. I wanted to puke real badly. The mixture of perfume and cigarettes wasn't a very pleasant thing but I had to bear with it.

We talked some more during the trip. We talked about anything and everything. I had a good time. It was nice ot have some company:)

Jane and I are gonna look for a different dorm. The dorm fee went up; ridiculously high. The sisters there are trying to make us bleed 'til we're dry.

I'm sleepy. That's all for today.

G'night y'all! :)

LSS OF THE DAY: "BITIW" BY SPONGECOLA

How many times have I heard this song today? A LOT! Great. Patriotic, much? When my sister heard me singing it, she told me to change the song. Sorry, kiddo. No can do. It's really stuck in my head now.

The pictures I took while watching "Joseph" and during AB Week are now ready to be viewed:) Click here ~~> http://lauredilian.multiply.com

Okay, like I said yesterday, today is my lola's second death anniversary. Wow. It's been two years already? But I still feel as if it only happened yesterday. Or a few hours ago. I'm still in denial. I still can't accept the fact that she's gone. I know it's hard to believe; I may not look it, but deep down, I'm still clinging to that faint hope that she's still alive. Weird, yes. Stupid, yes. Dear lord please help me let go.

Her death was sudden; maybe that's the reason why I still can't accept it. Here's the scenario: on February 9, 2005 at 7p.m., we (my mom, Pats, and Mon) went to the hospital to visit her. She was ryshed there earlier that day because of a fever. But when we got there, her fever had subsided and she was as talkative and vibrant as ever. We greeted each other and then we started talking. She was so happy; her birthday was coming up, February 11, two days later. She couldn't stop asking about the preparations, the food, the guests, etc. She even started talking about her birthday the following year; she could have turned 75 on 2006. We talked, laughed and joked around. She said that she was to be discharged the next day, so she could have a day of rest before her party. You could tell that she was really excited about it 'coz she was saying these things as if she were an eight-year-old. She'd have that glint in her eye that makes people think that she isn't as old as she looks. She was young at heart. That was a fact.

We left the hospital in high spirits, her laughter still ringing in my ears. I remember praying to God that night, thanking Him for letting my lola live through that ordeal. Less than a month, she underwent angioplasty (surgery; something to do with the heart) and the doctors assured us that it would extend her lifespan. Needless to say that we were greatly relieved to hear that.

The next morning, while I was in my room, gathering my things while waiting for my service, someone knocked on my door. I found my sister standing in front of me, her face devoid of any emotion, but what she said made me stand still. Her voice was soft, and yet I had no trouble in understanding what she said.

"Lola died last night"

She turned and went to her room, while I just stood there, rooted to the spot. Her words echoed in my ears. "Lola died last night". I closed my door and sat on my bed. It came again; "Lola died last night". I covered my ears, hoping to block out those cursed words. But it didn't work; they kept on repeating and repeating over and over again. "Lola died last night". No! This can't be happening! I rocked back and forth, still sitting down and covering my ears. Please. Please say it isn't true! It took me two whole minutes to uncover my ears and stare at the wall. As I raised my eyes, the tears started pouring. I couldn't control them, they kept on flowing. I lay on my bed, and cried on my pillow. As I lay there, grief finally gripping my heart, I realized with a pang that the night before was our last time of seeing her alive. The last time I will ever see her smile. The l;ast time I will ever hear her laugh. The last time that I will ever get to kiss her "hello" and "goodbye". The last time that I will ever get to hold her hand. It felt as if someone was squeezing me heart; I couldn't breathe. I sobbed uncontrollably, my body heaving with emotion. Shakily, I stood up and left my room. My sister's room was open and I found her facing the wall, and my mom sitting on my brother's bed. Without a word, I sat near mom and fixed my gaze on the bedsheet. We were all crying. I didn't hear what they were talking about. When I couldn't take it anymore, I left them and looked for my brother. I found him in the T.V. room, sitting on the couch, tears pouring down his cheeks. I sat beside him, hugged him and I cried with him.

The rest of the day was a blur to me. I can't remember how I survived the whole day. I hardly smiled, I cried every five minutes, and I took the time to stare absent-mindedly at the floor. I went to the funeral parlor after class; it was then that the reality of the situation hit me right in the face, like someone slapped me with an iron glove. When I saw my beautiful grandmother lying in the casket, my legs turned to jelly and I leaned onto my dad for support. It was too much for me. My legs gave way and I had to sit or they would call for a stretcher. I stared at the coffin. I couldn't stop crying. I prayed over and over that everything was just a horrible dream. I wanted someone to pinch me or someone to at least say that we've been "Punk'd" or something. But nothing came. It was real. My lola was dead.

I was close with my lola. Pats, Mon and I were considered the "favorites" because we stayed in the same house as her for the most part of our lives. She'd always think about what we would like and so on. She really loved us and we loved her back. She was always there when we needed someone to talk to. And she was the one who inspired me to become an ambassador someday. I remember one time, there was a raffle going on in school. And I still haven't sold all my tickets, she came to our house in the middle of the night and bought all of them! She saved my life! She was loved by everyone because of her kind heart. A lot of people know her because of all the charity work she's done throughout the years. Everyone misses her. Especially us.

I really miss her.

We had a get-together this morning (pictures are in my Multiply), then we heard Mass in St. John. Then we went to the cemetery.

Oddly enough, our trip to the cemetery was very enjoyable. Tito Rudi and Tita Marissa went with us, their both siblings of my dad, and we laughed and joked the whole way; going to the cemetery and going home. All I can say is, if my dad's crazy, wait til you puth them all in the same room. Pandemonium. Hahahahaha!:)


Well, that's it y'all! Take care!:)

LSS OF THE DAY: "CLOSE EVERY DOOR" FROM THE PLAY, "JOSEPH AND THE AMAZING TECHNICOLOR DREAMCOAT"


I watched the play on Monday. It was great! The costumes, the songs, the actors, all good. I've memorized the songs 'coz we used to have the VCD of it; it got lost, but I still know the songs by heart. I was singing and dancing along while they were performing:) So far, the best play I've watched in UST. Congrats to the Mediartrix:) And Kuya Low! Oh! my! lord! That voice! I swear, I was melting in my seat. I just witnessed the performance of the "Josh Groban of UST". Wonderful! I can't get over it! He's really good! And during the play, I went crazy with my camera! I'm still working on my Multiply so I could show them to you guys. I'll let you know when it's alright to view them:)

AB WEEK. It was okay. We had a Mass, had a parade, ate lunch (if you call that lunch. ech!) But it was alright. I hope next year would be better.

I finally finished reading "Angel of Darkness"; thanks again Meg!:) That book made me laugh, cry and really, really dizzy. But of course, I still enjoyed it. And right now, Meg's in love with Bartimaeus. Uuuyyy:)

Aha! He's dropped from the course! YYYYYYAAAAHHHOOOOO!!! I know I'm being mean, but if you nkew him the way we did, then you would be celebrating with us as well. He deserves to drop. Thanks to Doctor Co and Caloy! And Professor Estacio and Professor Bangaoil. And he even dared to call them "bobo"! And he called Caloy "tanga"! Oh come on, man! Everyone knows that the professors don't wanna fail anybody, they do whatever it takes for everyone to pass. But sadly, you weren't doing your part. You come to class late, you butt in everytime someone's talking (how rude!), he skips classes, he talks back at people, he acts like he knows everything and he keeps on telling everyone how "close" he is to some people when they don't even know him! AAARRRGGGHHH!! ANNOYING!!!!!! SCEWER THE PIG!! AND DON'T YOU EVER CALL CALOY A TANGA KASI MAS TANGA KA PA!!

Oh dear lord. Here we go again. Another isssue. Another problem. Another headache. Another pain in the ass. Fuck you. The next time I slam the door on your face, I'm gonna make sure that there's gonna be contact. You can count on that. Can I kill you, please? It would make me feel a WHOLE lot better. Hell yeah.

Right now I'm playing a video on YouTube, texting ten people (I am SO not joking about that one; my thumb's killing me), chatting with five other people and editing some pictures. Whoa.

I really love the song, "Close Every Door" from "Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat"; whew! What a mouth full! The lyrics are a bit depressing, but the way Donny Osmond sang it sent chills down my spine.

Video---http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=164DrxqyJRc

Close every door to me,
Hide all the world from me
Bar all the windows
And shut out the light
Do what you want with me,
Hate me and laugh at me
Darken my daytime
And toture my night
If my life were important
IWould ask will I live or die
But I know the answers lie
Far from this world
Close every door to me,
Keep those I love from me
Children of Israel
Are never alone
For I know I shall find
My own peace of mind
For I have been promised
A land of my own
Close every door to me,
Hide all the world from me
Bar all the windows
And shut out the light
Just give me a number
Instead of my name
Forget all about me
And let me decay
I do not matter,
I'm only one person
Destroy me completely
Then throw me away
If my life were important
IWould ask will I live or die
But I know the answers lie
Far from this world

Close every door to me,
Keep those I love from me
Children of Israel
Are never alone
For we know we shall find
Our own peace of mind
For we have been promised
A land of our own

Like I said, it's a bit depressing. But I still like it. Reminds me of the "state" I used to be in.


Speaking of which, just this morning, someone was really kind enough to remind me that DEPRESSION is a mental disorder. I remember that we took that up in 3rd year or 4th year. He said that I get depressed even over the little things; and he's right. That's why I started taking anti-depressants, which I stopped doing now. I dunno why. It's just..I find it hard to keep my emotions in check. Sometimes I let them get the better of me and I don't think straight anymore. I haven't matured emotionally yet, and that's the truth. I don't know if it's because my parents neglected to provide me with the emotional support I needed while growing up or because I'm just too darn ignorant to let myself grow; stupid, I know. I'm so confused; I'm not thinking straight again. My head's spinning and I'm seeing double. Everything seems so..different. ARGH!! What the hell am I saying?! I gotta snap out of it! Note to self: bang your head on the wall whenever that feeling occurs again.


By the way, tomorrow is my grandmother's 2nd year death anniversary. I miss her. Her death was so sudden; I'm pretty sure a lot of us are still denying that she's really gone, even though it's already been two years. I'll explain everything on my next post.


Nightie night y'all!:)

  • On-and-off-and-on again. Goodness gracious.
  • I learned a LOT of stuff about my family. And when I say a lot, I MEAN A LOT. And some of them are just way too private. And I know some won't be able to handle it well once they find out.
  • My sister's got me hooked on the Cheetah Girls. Great. First, Hannah Monatana, now this. I hope whatever comes next won't be so...uhh...I dunno. Oh well. Come what may.

Dami nun ah. But enough with the outline thing. It's annoying. Hahaha!:)

We've been spending a lot of time in the library lately. Again, the professors are showing no signs of slowing down. Poor us:'(

CONGRATS TO THOSE WHO PASSED THE UST ENTRANCE EXAM! I hope to see you guys next shool year! We're soooooooooooo gonna rock the campus!:)

I can't rememver how many times I've seen Dylan Ababou in school. If he's not inside the building, he's either outside the building or I see him walking towards the gym. I really wanted to take a picture with him, but everytime I see him I get so star-struck that I keep on forgetting! AAAAARRRGGHH!!! This is him:

I'm hooked on YouTube. No surprise there. Hahahaha:) And I even made a few discoveries. And my sister's completely freaked out about it. And she fears for my sanity. Hahahaha!:) Coz, you see, I found the Japanese version of "One Day More"; and I keep on listening to it! If truth be told, I kinda like some of the singers there. Some of them sound WAY better than the original cast. But that's just me:)

Anyways, I am now wondering at why some people won't let their issues to rest. I mean, it's been, what, two or three years? And your still fussing over the same thing? Honestly, dude, that's not healthy. Trust me on that one.

I love "The Alienist" by Caleb Carr. I owe a big one to Meg. I'm currently reading "Angel of Darkness", the sequel to "The Alienist". I can't believe how those people solved the case; I wonder how they do it now. I guess I'll just have to finish reading it, huh?:)

Well, well, well. It seems like we have another drop-out in the class. I wonder how long the professors can tolerate with his endless ramble of excuses. I know Caloy's pretty pissed at you already; that's no secret that's for sure. Why are you wasting your time? Just drop the course already and spare us from further humiliation. You bring shame to us, to Pax, to Dekada, and to all the students and professors in AB. And of course, to your family. Do you have ani idea how many times you've mentioned your dad in our conversations? Is he really the cause for all the trouble your going through? Or are you just using him as an alibi? Well it's not gonna work anymore. We are sick and tired of hearing those damn excuses of yours. You wore them out. Honestly, we all feel very sorry for you. Really, we do. We've put up with you for the first few months of school; but after that, you were just downright annoying. I remember one of our classmates asking for the long metal thing they use to roast pigs so we could scewer you and roast you. But then he or she realized that you wouldn't taste so good coz your all FAT. That person has a very good point. Oh well. Your problem.

I finally got a haircut. I'm the only one in the group who didn't get a haircut yet. I had them cut off three and half inches. It's very noticeable. But I don't care. At least Pats likes it. And I like it too. It's no longer my problem if other people don't like it. :)

What else? Uhhh. Hmmm. Wait a sec. Uhhh. Ooooh! I have a Multiply account. The only reason I made one was so I could have a place to upload my pictures. So, thanks to Margaux Rayos, Crystal Angeles and Janel Encina for talking me into it:) These guys have been bugging me for months to get a Multiply account. And I gotta say, they won me over. Hahahaha!:) So if I have any pictures that I wanna share with you guys, just check out my Multiply account. I'm gonna add it on my navigation bar after I type it here. I'm still working on it though, so sorry if it's still a bit messy. So, here it is!

And again, a lot of people have been asking, where did I get the name, "LAUREDILIAN?". Here's the answer for those of you who want to know:) When I was in third year, high school, i wrote a story. And my main character's name was "Lauredil". I got the name from combining two Elvish words from the appendix of the book, "The Silmarillion" by J.R.R. Tolkien; the author of "The Lord of the Rings Trilogy". As I wrote the story, I realized that I was using myself as a model for her. Whatever I was going through at that time, all the pain, suffering, happiness, sorrow and confusion, I wrote it all for her. At first I was scared that maybe if someone reads it, they might see a pattern and they might link it to me. But I pushed that fear away because there was a one in a million chance that that might happen. So I just let my pen take over and before I knew it, after months of writing, I finished. I filled up two whole notebooks; I even added a lot more pages on the first notebook because I was confident that it was all I needed. Turns out that I had a lot more ideas and adventures for Lauredil and her companions so I had to get another notebook. That was the longest story I've ever written. But I assure you, it won't be the last:) I added the "ian" to her name because I remembered a scene from LOTR where Haldir greets Legolas in this manner: "Mae govannen, Legolas Thranduilion", which in English translates as "Welcome, Legolas, son of Thranduil". It stuck so I used it. And that's pretty much it. Hehehehe!:)

AB WEEK'S gonna start on Monday!! Finally! Time to have some REAL fun!!!!

Right now, I'm gonna stay up until 3 a.m. coz of a stupid bet I made with someone. Like I said, STUPID. Well, I'm not known for thinking things through so I guess it's kind of expected. So, to kill time, I'm gonna listen to the Japanese sing "One Day More" and "Bring Him Home".

In case I forgot to mention anything, I'll say it next time. But right now, I gotta dash.

'Til next time y'all!:)
