Today was a different day, having 2 quizzes in a row, both in Science and Geography. My group consisted of Caitlin, Helena and Alysha and we got into 2nd place. During geography, it was the opposite. I was in a pair with Helena, who named our group No More Than 30, and was in last place with 2 points. Alysha's group name with Caitlin was funny. It was, I will give everyone 30 house points. They were in 3rd place though. We finished watching A Christmas Carol in Art, ending it with Merry Christmas! And had karaoke twice during Music and ICT. Mr. Griffiths (ICT Teacher) sang "Bakit Pa." This is his last year in BSM and is transferring to another country, but he still has property in the Philippines so he might still come back.
The last period, period 6, wherein we had to go to our form rooms then to the hall to watch the finale of today's Shine Day. Shine Day is a talent show celebrated every year in our school and it was kind of fun. Even if I was squashed between four sweaty smelly and humongous people, north south east and west, who were noisily clapping and singing all throughout the time, enjoying themselves, I found the songs sung/danced interesting. There was a Year 7 student who sang a slow song but it was good. Another was a Year 9 student who sang like a girl but it was also wonderful, he sang "I can Go the Distance" in Hercules. Some even cried at that song. A troupe of dancers and singers from Year 7 also did "Keep Holding On," which annoyed me as they just kept repeating the same action and lyrics the whole 10 minutes or so. There were also very young cheerleaders from Year 3 I think, whose shirts spelled BSM Shine Day 2010. They waved their pompoms and stuff. A little entertaining, I would say. The best part of it came last, wherein Mr. Savage's (Drama Teacher) "band" played a song. Mr Savage had a nice voice, which I came to realize was why he previously in his younger times was a vocalist of a band. He could also play the guitar/base (I'm not sure). He sang "Do you believe music makes magic..."
Friends (Helena and Alysha) came over and we watched a Thai horror film called "The Coffin". I recommend it, it's nice and scary but has a happy ending. And after that we watched "How I Met Your Mother" for the first time. Not a bad day, I should say.

!Eclipse Warning!
OH YEAH! Forgot to mention that the Eclipse is coming near! June 30th here we come! :-))
Another Day
Hey, today's a new day, and it started with Sherlock Holmes and the Red Headed League. I didn't really watch it cause I was busy looking through the newly printed yearbook of 2009-2010. I signed some too. We then watched the recently produced "A Christmas Carol" for English after. We stopped at the part wherein Bob Cratchit made a fail slide during Christmas Eve.
Thinking Skills was not so boring after all. We had to discuss the topic, Keeping Safe Online, and touched a bit on cyberbullying. This included giving advice to different situations wherein a girl was being targeted by a cyberbully. It was also an embarassing period because as my friend read the victim's message, she nominated ME to give the advice. My mind went totally blank at that and so I could not answer the message/give the advice. I was saved when a classmate spoke out the answer, not knowing that I was already chosen for the reply. That was when the teacher asked me if I knew what to reply and I said I did not know. Since then, I was terrified that she would ask me again. After, we made role plays about cyberbullying but I was saved by the bell. My group was the last group so we did not have to act it out.
Never-failing-to-be-interesting Science was next and guess what? We had an end of year quiz that was to be done in 3's or 4's. I teamed up with my 4 some close friends and in the end we were one of the winners, having 21 points out of 40. It had 4 rounds but the rest of the rounds are to be continued for tomorrow. I keep telling myself to study but I actually don't. So, nevermind.
In Maths we watched "Numbers," it's a series that mostly involves dead people and the police. I did not particularly like the episode we were watching and so I and a friend got scolded by the teacher as we were talking/argueing about the Yearbook.(I asked her to sign her name, but she shaded her whole face with black permanent marker!)
Drama involved Sharades or as our teacher called it, Sharads. It was fun and I was relieved that I did not have to act. I enjoyed trying to guess the acts but others obviously know a lot more than I do. They always get the answer in record time! Trust me, they're that good.
English horror during the "A Christmas Carol" movie began when Ebenezer Scrooge slowly came near his home and on his knocker, Marley's face appeared. Marley then shouted, "Bah!" and the whole class got shocked. One guy (Paco) even shouted, "Ahhhh!"
Targets for the next day alive:
1. Do well in Music performance tomorrow of "Sleepy Shores"
2. Do better in future Drama sessions.
3. Do your best at improving yourself on that day.

Nothing much
Status: Just finished exams. Bored and waiting for school to finally end.
RE test results are out. Not of much importance but I barely made it to level 7.
Badminton was played during games, period 4. It was hilarious, the way we all took turns going in circles, battling each other. It was because the matches were one-point ones. One mistake and you're out or you become the new champion. Then the elimination team games begin. Lost a lot of times but it was a great experience. I like badminton. Never thought I'd say that but I do.
During Maths, the class was able to play in a site called www.coolmath-games.com. It was awesome. There were so much games to play with. I especially liked the Lemonade Stand. Although it took so long to load that I closed the window at first try and was horrible at playing at first, I profited in the end.
When my mom got home, it was the beginning of a miserable era for me. She caught me watching tv and asked me why I was watching. She sternly told me that it was not vacation yet. I, victimized by the great power of moms, went back to my room and found some anime songs that prompted me to make a blog. Anyways, that's all.
Things to fear for tomorrow:
1. Drama (I am not the "acting" type of person)
2. Library (I have not been updating my journal. Hope Ms. Shih does not have her rounds tomorrow, or better yet, not have library at all, watching sherlock holmes was kind of interesting)
3. Thinking Skills (I do not want to talk about drugs again I mean, of course it is educational and important as a preparation for future dangers and choices, but the lessons are seriously boring, in my opinion!)
4. Nothing else
