It's funny how on this xanga, I've only written happy entries; entries just full of photographs and memories. And I have also noticed that on my new xanga (Kuya_Richie), that's when I started writing those angry and hate entries. I wish I can rewind time to 2004. 2005 is NOT a good year for me: mentally and physically. I've changed a lot this year. Just recently, I have found out some devastating news about me, which I don't want to talk about. If I act bitter or ill towards you for the next couple days, weeks, or months, I apologize. It's only because I'm trying to hide my pain.

Big Update: May 13, 2004 through May 23, 2004: w/ many photos! ^_^ Enjoy! Enjoy! ^_^ On Thursday May 13, 2004, my Ateh Licelle, Kuya Michael, and Ateh Eden came from Bermuda. They moved from Philippines to Bermuda because they are nurses over there. They left sunday morning though. I miss them =[ They stayed for one week, and I was hecka busy, so that's why I didn't update the xanga. Well, they came on Thursday, the first thing we did right when we got off the airport was go to `Best Buy` My Ateh Eden was looking for a digital camera. (Damn, they are hella rich forrealz) I picked one out for her, a Canon 4.0 Megapixel one. She wanted one like mine, but it was sold out =/ The Canon 5.0 Megapixel one was also sold out, so she got the 4.0 megapixel one. After that, we finally went home. They said that the environment here is way different from Bermuda. In Bermuda, it's all beach and sand and jungled-trees. They said that over here, there's so much space, so many cars, so many people. They adjuseted to Jacksonville pretty quickly though, but they only stayed one week =[ My Ateh Licelle was so excited when we passed by the mall while coming home from the airport. She always wanted to go to JC Penneys. I feel so bad for them that they stay in Bermuda to be nurses, but they said it's better being a nurse in Bermuda rather than Philippines because the Bermuda nurses get paid alot ALOT! When we got home, I teached my Ateh Eden how to use her camera, we ate hecka food, then went to sleep. I still had to go to school that day and during the next week because of those gay-ass finals. Oh well, a couple hours of school ain't bad. Tch yeah right. On Friday May 14, 2004 I didn't attend classes, but still went to school. My brother had an award ceremony for his graduation and classes, he took home a heck-load of awards. I saw Sara, Marena, and Ralph in the award ceremony, but I sat with my family. After school, we went to the mall to eat. My cousins shopped alot, they bought alot of stuff of course cuz they brought like a million dollars with them. They say stuff here is like 300 times cheaper than in Bermuda, being that Bermuda is a tourist spot. After the mall, we went home, got ready for Orlando (stopped by my Auntie's oriental store first of course) Then we went to westside to see my other cousin's, auntie's, and uncles. Then we all left together for Orlando. The trip wasn't that bad. It seemed fast though. My Kuya Michael brought a portable DVD player so we watched movies in the van during our way to Orlando. We got to Orlando late at night, we slept at a hotel. The next day, Saturday May 15, 2004, we went to Disney World. It was my second time in a one month span. I was still excited though haha. Of couse! It's Disney World!!! We went on rides, took pictures, watched parades, you kno the whole Disney thing. We bought a hecka bunch of souveneirs. The next day, Sunday May 16, 2004, we went to the Queen Mary Church in Orlando. The mass was nice. There were alotta asian people ^_^ So it was fun. After mass, we went to the outlet (it's right next door LOL) I bought some clothes from Nautica, but that was it. No Tommy Hilfiger outlet store =/ Nautica was the only thing there. Everything else was Nike Bannana Republic Gucci BLAH Then we went home that night. Back to Jacksonville ^_^ We went to my cousin's house to eat dinner. It was like 25 of us. Took pictures, then went home around 1am-2am. I had finals that next day =X I went to school through the whole week, (except for the last day Friday) to take finals. I think I did pretty well on them. On Tuesday, May 18, 2004, it was my brother's high school graduation. We got to UNF and found seats. The graduation was beautiful. I was about to cry when the chorus sang that one song, U Lift me Up or something like that. It was sad. The ceremony was beautiful. But before the ceremony started, this black guy got arrested. He was fighting and arguing with these white people for seats. It was fun when 10 police officers came and tackled him on the ground. My Kuya got it on video tape, and my Ateh took pictures ^_^ Some female police officer got assaulted and pushed by the black guy, and she swung at him. It was so fun to watch. I had like front row seats too HAHA. After school on Thursday May, 20, 2004, we went to the mall again. We brought David with us after school. At 1pm, we went to Regency, ate at the food court, then shopped/went around. I got my Strawberry Freezer from Barnie's so I was happy. After the mall we went to Sam's to develop the pictures. I got a bunch developed, but I already had them on my computer. David spent the night on Thursday. We watched movies and played some video games. On Friday May 21, 2004, I didn't go to school (It was the last day) My Neice and Nephew came to my house. We prepared for the party on the next day. You kno cook, clean, etc. My neice and nephew spent the nights on Friday night and Saturday night. The Party on Saturday May 22, 2004, was fun. Alotta people came. Ate food, Karaoke, Took pix, you kno the deal. I don't wanna go much into detail. Sunday May 23, 2004, My ateh's and kuya left for Bermuda. But they're coming back. They're even thinking about moving over here to become nurses. So, I hope that happens. Cuz it's only been one day since they left, and I already miss them so much. Sorry if the load time was slow. It's because I have a million pictures posted. Here's some pictures. Click the photos to maximize.

"Disney World! Disney World! Disney World!" -Nicole. Disney was so much fun!
Saturday was so much fun! ISA had a field trip to Magic Kingdom at Disney, and it was one of the best field trips ever! =] I had so much fun with everyone. Well I woke up at around 5 o`clock. Took a shower, dressed up, got ready. That night, er morning, I slept at 2 o`clock cuz my parents called the Philippines since it was my grandmother's birthday. So, I stayed up to talk to her, in tagalog =]. So I only got a couple hours of sleep. When I woke up, I had a headache and my throat was sore. My eyes were pink, I knew I was sick. Out of all the days, why did I have to get sick that day? Well, i wasn't gonna let that bring me down ^_^ At around 7:00 I went to Paxon, we saw people there but they weren't ISA people. They were the spanish club. So, my parents brought me and my brother to McDonalds to eat breakfast. We came back at Paxon at around 7:30. I saw David, Ronnie, Austin, and Ralph standing there at the front of the school. I came to them, said hi, and waited with them for the other people to arrive. David came soon after, we talked to the spanish club people. They're lucky, they went to Islands of Adventures instead, but hey! Disney World is fun too! =D Well we waited for the bus, it came like 15-30 minutes late, I forgot. And also chylled with Charisse for a while. Ms. Ossi told us it was gonna be a school bus, but she surprised us with a shuttle bus! Thank You Ms. Ossi! =D I sat with Ralph on the bus ride. Pretty fun talking with him on the way. He was sleeping, and then he snorted really loud. Haha, i got scared, started to crack up, and laughed some more. The bus ride seemed fast though. When we got near disney, Nicole started to shout `Disney World! Disney World! Disney World!` We got to Disney World, i was a little tired from sitting down for all that time. But I was excited ^_^ Charisse, David, Ralph, and me rode the monorail to Magic Kingdom. Then we went to Tomorrowland of course. We got our fast passes to Space Mountain. OMG I was so nervous. Even though I rode it a billion times, I was so nervous. David tried to trip me while we were walking in that line to the ride. It was so dark! I wonder how people could see in there. Well we got to the ride. I was shaking, holding my camera bag tight. I was skerred stuff might fall out. Space Mountain wasn't that bad. Me and Ralph screamed like girls. It was fun ^_^ Even though I had a sore throat, I screamed and screamed. Thank God no one else rode it with us or they would have heard me scream like a girl, haha. I hated those humps on the roller coaster. The ride ended, it wasn't that bad. But I still screamed alot LOL. I was like "No No Nooo! Slow Down, it's too fast!! NoOoOoOOOo!!!! STOpPP!!" throughout the whole ride. David was in front of me cracking up so hard, and Ralph was behind me going "AaAHhH!" Haha, it was fun ^_^ After that, we went to FrontierLand to eat at Pinnochio's Restaurant. After eating lunch, we went to Splash Mountain to get our fast passes. We have to come back there at 5:30 to ride it, so we went on Thunder Railroad Mountain. OMG IT WAS SO MUCH FUN! Ralph was screaming the whole ride, even when the ride was over and back at the people loading place, he was still screaming. Haha, I covered my face cuz I was embaressed, it was funny as hell! This couple sitting behind us was probably laughing hard because of Ralph LoL! The lady was screaming like him too ^_^ After that, we went to Advanture Land to meet up with Sara and Amanda =] I met Amanda, but we never really talked. After the Thunder Railroad Mountain ride, we went to the back of Cinderella's castle to check-in with Ms. Ossi. We met up with everyone there again. This time we chylled with David, Nicole, Eileen, Vanessa, Anna, Theresa, and Andy. It was way more fun being with them than the people we were with in tomorrowland. We ate at the Tomorrowland Terrace Café. After that we went to the Swiss Robinson Family Treehouse (I think that was it) and walked all the way to the top. My legs were hurting so bad haha, it was so high up! After that, we went to the gift shop near the Aladdin carpet ride. Haha, Ralph and the girls were trying on dresses, I have pix of them ^_^ Then we went on the Aladdin carpet ride. While we were waiting in line, Eileen and everyone else started boo-ing Jaffar LoL! it was funnie, I have a video of it. Then Vanessa started screaming `Aladdin, we love you!` We got on the ride, then we started doing the wave and shouting `woo!` My `woo` sound was so cracky Haha. Sounded like an old lady. The ride started then I started filming the ride. It went high, but I wasn't skerred =T It was around 5:30 when the ride ended so me, David, and Ralph had to go back to splash mountain to ride it. The rest of them went to Pirates Of The Carribean while we went to Splash Mountain. I rode it with Ralph and David. Of course it was hecka fun! I bought the pictures where they take it when we go down that big 52 feet drop. ^_^ It didn't come out well, but I still bought one. We met up with Nicole, Vanessa, Eileen, David, Anna, Andy, and Theresa again at this one beverage place at Frontier Land. Courtney and Danielle was there with us too, and two other people (sorrie, i didn't kno ur names) I bought a drink, then like 4 people drank off of it heheh. We went to the Mad Hatter's Teacup Ride after we bought our refreshments. Haha, Courtney, Eileen, David, and a girl were in one tea cup while Nicole, David, Ralph, Anna, and me were in the other one! 5 people in one small teacup! It was crazy. I videotaped the ride too LoL. Ralph had to put his legs up since there was no room. It was so fun! Ralph screamed like a girl the whole ride. The second time they rode it, Eileen, Anna, Nicole, and me sat out this time, I knew they were on the ride cuz we heard Ralph screaming. HAHA! Then it was almost about time to leave the park, but before we left we went to Tomorrowland to buy souveneirs. It was already 7 o`clock and we had to gather at the gate at that time! So, we ran through tomorrowland, 5 stranger people were bumped and pushed by our running group LOL! We rode the monorail, thank God all of us made it! We got to the bus at around 7:20 to only find out we were the first ones there >_< WE RAN FOR NOTHING! The latest group showed up after 8 o`clock. Well the bus ride home was fun, talked about the field trip, Ralph laughed more and even screamed on the bus ride. The end. SO MUCH FUN I SWEAR! I wish we can all do it again soon, but maybe next year =[ A long time, hopefully there will be more field trips like this soon. I had the the funnest time ever with Ralph, David M, David A, Eileen, Nicole, Theresa, Anna, Andy, Vanessa, Danielle, and Courtney. Thanks guys for making it the best! ^_^ Below are photos and video clips of the trip. Click the images to maximize the photo.
