caribbean blue is not reggae to enya

We arrived too late to ride the first bus to Vistamar where we will be having our acquaintance party. Clang2x, Jopet and I had to wait for the first bus to come back and bring us to the place. We waited for an hour or so. I was all excited thinking about the beach and the pools and well okay the food as we were already hungry. (We had to get up early and sacrifice breakfast but were still too late for the bus)
The bus arrived yes, finally we were on our way to the sun, the beach and the party people.
So there we were. It was a bore.
The emcee announced that a contest called the amazing race will be held. To get the bore out of our system, we joined the competition. We were supposed to be composed of 8-12 members but there were only three of us, so we decided to sign in the name of Gilmark who hasn’t arrived yet, of Doris who was busy with registration, Bhea who has no idea of what was going on and of anybody we could think of without their consent. That’s supposed to be illegal, noh? We also recruited PJ, the hunk of a cousin of Jopet. The game was to start and there were only five of us, oh well we went on anyway. PJ proved to be very useful in the game, he did all the physically challenging dares like that game where they made him drink all kinds of vile stuff and also that one where he was to swim lapses for 3 minutes without resting. Bhea and I did the memory game while Jopet did the logic game. PJ, Clang2x and I went in the water for the coin game. The group games were cool, the form a triangle game was that name of game? And also the unscramble the scrambled letters game, the eat your vegetables raw game and the most fun of all is the caterpillar walk. In the caterpillar walk, all the team members’ legs are tied to each other and they had to climb down and then up again a flight of stairs. It was really fun trying to coordinate the legs and all. Clang2x enjoyed it all more than anyone would. She confessed that PJ was her crush, we did the amazing race and they rubbed shoulders, held hands, touched feet all along. I really need to find a crush in school so that I can have some kilig moments too. I wonder if we won that game, we left before the program was formally ended.
I was expecting some sun that day but I didn’t expect that much sun. I have bad burns on my shoulder and face and neck, the parts that got burned look like tocino. And they hurt!!! I didn’t mind putting sunblock which was I realize a bad idea. I had fun. It was the ultimate jpia party, the Caribbean blues.

planting life

I planted three seedlings today, 2 mahoganies and 1 nymph tree. In five or more years the little plants whose roots I buried in the ground will become beautiful trees giving life to all.
I find tilling the ground therapeutic lol. Yes truly. Feeling the earth reminds me also of where man came from (for those who believe in the creation story in the Bible) and where man will ultimately find himself.
I’m not sure if I’m a green thumb but I’ll find out later on when I visit the seedlings I planted years from now. If they died then I’m probably not for the earth, if they survived wow then they’re really strong seedlings. Lol.
When I retire I want to be a farmer. That is my ambition. I want to create a beautiful flower garden and plant trees that produce fruits and fragrant blossoms. Right now I like Poison Ivy in Batman not because of her evil character there but because of her special relationship with plants plus she’s one sexy villain. (I’m not saying I don’t have an evil side…everybody has.) She might one day marry a Bush lol get it? Cornz
Anyway, I believe that we should be environment conscious and give back to nature what it has been giving us, life. For so long, nature has provided us with all the things we need. For so long too, we have neglected and abused *raped mother nature, forgetting our responsibility towards her. Now more than ever is the time to repair what can still be repaired of her, preserve what is left and stop the torture. I am a preacher thank you.


I asked Jopet this question, what if some organization calls for volunteers to send to the atmosphere, examine the ozone layer and fill the holes in it with (something, I don’t know..could be ply boards or whatever “filling” technology at that time could afford) would she go like she did for this tree planting activity. She said, yes basta di kita ang itapak. Haha I found it very funny. I think it’s funny. Very funny. Hehe I can’t get over it. Lol.
To get to the area where we would plant the seedlings, we had to climb a steep hill. Actually we have a choice to climb the steep hill or just bury the young plants on lower ground. But we opted for the higher level hehe we got to see a terrific view of the metropolis and had a really fun time balancing our steps towards the top. A kind of rush goes through the body…the thrill of getting there and a bit of fear from falling. Maybe that’s what thrill seekers feel, so they get addicted to dangerous stuff like extreme sports. We didn’t reach the summit of the hill, although Joyce really wanted to because it’s a nice feeling to get to the top (you can almost touch the clouds and talk to God from there and be very sure that you’re heard) it’s like winning a much deserved victory (after all the near slips on the way up…the downhill trip was worse).
Oh and I met, uggh Ryan. What’s he doing there? I told him I’m a nature lover that’s why I was there. A bit of the history of ryan. He is my schoolmate in elementary and high school and oh I just realize even in college (good thing he’s in the other campus). He was good sometimes, crude sometimes well okay crude most of the time. I will never forget the time when he asked me out to see a movie and made me pay for my own cinema ticket. I couldn’t believe I even went out with him. I understand we were just friends but he invited me to go so I assumed...life’s rule, NEVER assume. It’s not cool. There were times when he was good to me, but that event just blew everything. Hehe Anyway, I had a lot of fun. I love nature. I love my companions. I love the earth. I want to do it again. That’s all folks.

Last night was unusually cold. Ironic how sometimes cold air burns.

i can't finish anything these days. i think i'm going to revive my old blog. the resurrection of turtlepace!! bwahaha.. when i find the lost enthusiasm to blog, when i can finish something. loliezz..

Are you in? *music in the background* so are you in? it’s so much better when everyone is in, are you in? are you?

I am beautiful no matter what they say. Words can’t bring me down. Yeah yeah.
But Christina, words do bring me down. =(

cyclops

my eyes hurt. i look so ugly in the mirror. everytime i go online i am sad (ok so for the past few days)

here to write about our recent trip to medellin. we went there morning, had to drive for four hours..terrible. but i like long drives because i dream all the way. my mind is somewhere else and with the big distance to cover, i can start an imagination and finish it before arriving at the destination. it's really cool.
i saw my cousins, my favorite is nikka (favoritism is ok). i love kids, theyre so full of life and so young. we went around their place (the town isnt so big) even though it was a hot afternoon (but surprisingly it drizzled just when we were complaining about how hot the day was).

shoot the cute

two days ago, the family and i went to the mall to spend time together and then father bought a *drum roll* digital camera. i was so happy, my father bought the 3.2 megapixel canon digital camera. now i can take shots of whatever things i like. i will use the camera to shoot everything around me hehe because i feel that everything is beautiful and deserves to be preserved in one way or another.
got to go... get dressed for school. law is such a boring subject and i have to deal with it every tuesdays and thursdays, the only subject i have to attend for those days.
