Finally! Today is 9/09/09! What a lucky day! I love the number nine!!

I just got home from school. It’s still pretty early, right? That’s because we have exams. And we get to go home early. It’s been a while since I haven’t written in my blog. I have a DS, and I’ve been VERY busy with it. And the Field Trip’s next week. But I don’t wanna go! No PSP and other things - just camera and cellphone. That means…NO DS?! NOOO!! Plus, I hate my cellphone! I wish I could just toss it out the window! (If you’re a cellphone lover, then don’t read this part!) Anyway, let’s focus on today’s blog entry. Okay, on our way home, Kuya Eric told us that everyone will be all together in the service. No 2nd trips, or 1st trips - ALL IN THE SERVICE. I had to sit at the back instead of the middle since the kids were sitting there. At first, I was alone with a little boy. Then Miguel came. He’s Andrea’s sister. It was three of us now. Then Danielle, a girl, came. Afterwards, it was Macaroni! (Macky) Just in case, she’s mariannebarot@mymelody.com. It was the four of us now. It was really cramped! Just when we thought it was all over, Andrea came! She had no more space to sit in. “Oh my gulay! Where am I supposed to sit?!” she cried. Kuya (I just call him Kuya. I don’t know what’s his name. He’s the one who gets our bags for us.  He’s the helper, and he always sits at the back.) told the others to move, so she could have space. Finally, Andrea sat, but the poor boy was standing up. We were telling him to just sit on either Andrea or Miguel’s lap. But he didn’t want to. I guess he’s quite shy. And the very WORSE part, Rocky came!! Now it’s SERIOUSLY tight in here.  And, we’re off!!

TOO BAD IT WAS REALLY TIGHT!!!

I was getting squished because Kuya had to join in. I wish we just left him behind. It was really the fault of Miguel, Andrea’s fat brother. He complains his space is small, but Macky, Kuya, and I were the ones who were suffocating! Sheesh! We made a lot of noise, complaining about the tight space and all. But Macky and I were just laughing. Andrea was begging me to show her the comic I made. It’s an anime that I made called Rolling Chibii. I just invented it last year, during the exams, too! Andrea was busy reading it, while the boy and Danielle were sneaking a peek as well. After that, Macky was the one who read it. Later, it was STILL noisy. But finally, Rocky and Danielle got off. But while heading to Danielle’s house, we left Kuya behind. You should have seen him run and catch up to us! Hahaha! I was saying, “Kuya’s making a run for it!” And of course, everyone who was at the back were keep on laughing. Then after that, everyone was still noisy, so I decided to make 10 Reasons why NOT to stay in the back! And tips! Before that, though, a while ago, in the classroom at school, Charity was fixing her shorts, and her skirt was up. The worse part was that Derrick and Thomas came!! I think they DID saw it! Poor Charity! (I was teasing her about it, since she IS my seatmate. Hahahaha) And after Recess, (before the shorts event) Cha accidentally knocked down Andrea’s Science notebook and got all wet, since it was raining and the ground was muddy and wet. Cha was keep on saying: “I’m sorry! I’m sorry! I’m sorry! I’m sorry! I’m sorry! I’m sorry!” Then I told Cha, “Give Andrea a nice, big hug, Cha!” And Andrea started hugging Charity madly. She always does that to me and Cha. I call her my sister, and she calls Charity…her sister too, I guess. Andrea likes to call me and Cha cute, babyish names.

Me - Cookie (Seriously?)

Charity (the victim) - Cuddly-poo, Donut (I call her Munchkin!) Oka-san (means mother in Japanese. Not so sure about the spelling) and other babyish names

Macky - Popcorn?! (Macaroni is the BEST name for her!!)

And, that’s that…but please don’t start calling me Cookie!

All right, before I say goodbye, there are 20 things you need to remember!!

10 Reasons Why NOT To Stay At the Back of the Service

# 1 It’s VERY cramped, and very little space!

# 2 High chances of getting your precious bag squished

# 3 Your shoes are going to get stepped on

# 4 Very high chances of YOU getting squished!

#5 Everyone fighting over the aircon

#6 Very noisy, aside from you laughing

#7 Your Kuya keeps on saying “Yay!”

#8 Someone’s fat brother complaining he has little space even though he’s the source of the problem

#9 Some guy spitting out saliva (the drool) in front of your Kuya

#10 You have a mad driver in your service

10 Useful Tips When Trapped In The Back of the Service

#1 If you’re thin, make sure you’re not beside someone who’s fat and is going to squish you (that means you, Charity!!)

#2 Stay away from someone who spits saliva!

#3 Beware of tiyanak and her tiyanak friends (Yes, that’s Alex! *Macky’s sister)

#4 If a fat guy asks for your snacks, say no and tell him: “You need a diet!”

#5 Beware of rulers that bite your arm

#6 As soon as the front gets a lot more space, quickly escape!

#7 Beware of fighting siblings (Andrea and Miguel, that means you two!)

#8 Beware of a wild pig, bear, boar, dog, or whatever creature as long as it’s wild. (Miguel, that’s you!)

#9 In case of SERIOUS emergencies, prepare a bike to escape with. If you don’t have one, then steal one! (Stealing’s bad, but you’re desperate!)

#10 NEVER, EVER STAY IN THE BACK! Or avoid fat persons or someone’s fat brother!

Maybe the whole school should be in Ned’s Classified School Survival Guide…

Translations:

Kuya - means older brother but can be used to address other guys as “Sir”

Gulay - vegetable (and is Andrea’s favorite catchphrase!)

Tiyanak - it’s a creature, which in Philippine mythology, imitates the form of a child. It usually takes the form of a newborn baby. Also known as a “Demon Child” or “Changeling”. Other say that the tiyanak was aborted, and it has returned from death to  seek revenge on the one who aborted it. (Information from Wikipedia. I know me, Macky, Andrea and Charity call Alex a tiyanak, but we don’t really mean it. It’s just to tease her a bit)
