Chapter One

The sun was already shining when Allyx opened her eyes. She’s the type of person who is really lazy to get up but loves going to school. She’s not your typical high school girl who goes to school because of friends or because they want to get away from their family. Well, the family is one of her reasons but more importantly, she goes to school to learn and study. That is all. She loves reading and being inside the classroom discussing the things she had read.

Her alarm clock rang but she put it into snooze. Tired to get up, she covered her face with a pillow. After a few minutes, her alarm clock rang again. She checked the time and got up immediately. She ran to take a shower then put the clothes which were lying on her bed. She cleaned her room as quickly as she could before she went down to cook their breakfast.

After eating some, she fixed all her things for school. She wrote a note and left it on the refrigerator with a magnet on it. As she turned around to go out, she saw her step sister, Steffi. Although surprised, she felt uneasy by Steffi’s stare. Allyx was about to ask “what?” when Steffi yawned at her and said, “Good morning Al”. It was quite unusual because they do not talk.

Steffi is one of the school’s popular girls, so she doesn’t talk to regular girls like Allyx. She’s a member of the school Cheerleading Team, while Allyx is a member of the school Newspaper. That is one of their huge differences. Steffi is all fancy while she is one of the geeks. Not to mention their brain capacity differences.

Allyx was surprised by her step-sister’s sudden greeting that she couldn't respond immediately. She snapped out of her curiosity of what's happening.

“Wow. Did a prince charming appear in your dream?”  Allyx said sarcastically as she puts her bag handle to her shoulder.

“Rude much? I was just being nice.”

“Well, that kind of attitude doesn’t suit you. Stick to the usual one.” Allyx responded as she walked towards the door.

Steffi turned around to face her, then yelled “You going to school?”

Allyx was a bit shocked with that response. She yelled with her isn’t-it-obvious tone, “No! Home! DUH?!”

“But you’re already home!”

“Oh boy” Allyx whispered to herself as she left the house.

Steffi’s stupidity annoys Allyx so much everytime because Allyx knows that her step-sister could be very smart if she would pay more attention to the lessons.

FULL MOON -- Prologue

The two moons shone brightly like never before. Different types of sounds were heard everywhere; screams from the inside castle, swords of the knights flashing and ringing as they meet the sword of the other. People do not what to do. Fear and terror were felt all throughout the whole place.

A Novalis—the highest rank in wizard knighthood—was running as fast as he could through the long hallway. He opened a huge door and saw his Queen.

“My Queen, Your Majesty must leave the castle right away. The enemies might break the castle door any moment now.” The man said while catching his breath.

 “I understand but as you said, I am the Queen. I cannot leave everyone and save myself.” The Queen responded

“But Your Majesty, this place is not safe anymore. We must leave. And please think of the Princess’ safety.”

The response of the Novalis alarmed the Queen.  She remembered her daughter who was taken inside the castle by the Dame. She went to the room where her child and the dame could be.

When the Queen found them, she was frightened—no, terrified—by the unpleasing sight. The enemy was holding her daughter. The evil witch looked at her with a horrific smile.

Although frightened, the Queen did not let the evil witch know it but it seemed like the witch could see through her. She knew the Queen was scared.

“Put my baby down. This is our fight. She has nothing to do with this.” She said

“And if I don’t, what will you do? Your Majesty?”

The Queen put up her wand but before she could cast a spell, she broke down and her wand slipped out of her hand.

“Oh look at you. It’s too early for you to kneel before me. But yes, I understand.” The evil witch looked at the huge window in front of them. Then she continued, “looks like the moons did it for me. Mia Panselino never fails me. Look at the moon and accept the light it releases!”

“And my dear Queen, I want to tell you that you cannot call the king anymore. It’s no use. I have him already.”

It’s no use fighting anymore. They can’t do it. The King was captured, the Queen broke down and the soldiers were losing. They have to accept it. They were defeated.

The witch’s voice could be heard throughout the whole land, she announced their victory and declared herself as the new Queen. She told her knights to throw the King and Queen to Avesbury and she brought the princess to the world they must not go to—the mortal world.

Everything turned upside down for the whole land and its people. They can’t predict good future under the evil witch’s control. The place’s atmosphere was always negative and was enveloped by complete darkness.

How long will this continue? Do we still have a chance to escape the evil’s curse? When will this end? These are the questions the people kept asking.

In a night called Mia Panselino, everything happened. With one full moon it started, in a same night, will the battle end?

SPPECH CHOiR !!

SPEECH CHOiR !! YEAH !! WE WON! iT WAS SO EPiC ! 

December 13, 2010 

               That was the date when we won our FIRST and LAST speech choir together. We were so excited to compete for we know that we did our best in everything. From props to practicing the piece. I'm so thankful that we achieved one of our goals. Kevinne, our leader, was so responsible. He wants us to practice and not waste a single second. He is such a good leader. Even though we were noisy, and stubborn, he still managed to explain everything. Because of his patience, we won. He taught us proper discipline and that is one of the reasons why we won. PROPER DISCIPLINE. 

               I love how we always complained about our voices getting weaker and weaker, that we need water breaks, that we have to rest for a while, that we were repeating each stanza over and over again and that we go home late almost everyday. But those are the things which made us win. I'm thankful for all those complaints. There were also arguments but it didn't last long for we have to be one once we competed. 

                December 10, 2010, Friday, we still practiced the whole piece even though we knew that we had it perfect and we still have no props and costume at all. When we finished practicing, we started to make our costume. We decided to make armor like costumes so we cut out metallic papers. I love how we help each other to finish everything. Did I just say to finish ?? Wait, we didn't finish everything yet. We decided to continue the costumes on MONDAY. Can you believe that? MONDAY. The day of the competition. So, we had our clothes ready and we continued making the armor like props. Luckily, we finished it. Yeah, we did. Thanks God. We decided to practice one more time before going to the Audio Visual Room or AVR for short but someone told us to get there that very moment so we just held hands and prayed then we went there full spirited. 

               We were second to perform. We were actually nervous and all but when we stepped on the stage, all our nervousness left our bodies. We started our piece and I'm telling you, I had goose bumps all over me. It's as if there were no girls at all. We all sounded like boys. And I find it funny that it was one of our problems when we were practicing. The voice of us girls. it's too high but when we were there, performing, in front of many people, we sounded just fine. No, we sounded like we're one. We can hear pure silence, until we were moved by the things we were saying and our feelings just empowered our whole body, the audience gave us a round of applause and we were just getting started. After that very moment, the AVR was covered with silence again. We could feel their eyes staring to us with full concentration. Others were smiling and others were wearing their serious faces. 

                After the performance, we were so relieved and of course, happy that we delivered it VERY WELL and because no one made mistake. We waited for the other performers to finish so we can hear the most exciting part of the day. THE RESULTS. We were kinda noisy outside the AVR even though we know that the DEPARTMENTS are just in the hallway. Our hearts were pumping very fast when they were announcing the winners. It started with 3rd place, it was III-Acacia , 2nd place , IV - Crimson and the noise went down a bit for us to hear who the 1st place was. We were holding our breath with full confidence and hope. Then, the most awaited moment came, the 1st place winner was US! The moment the judge called CONTESTANT #2, we felt like our heart left our chests and it kept jumping up and down the hallway. We screamed like crazy and we were really jumping up and down. We cried and hugged each other. Yep,. it was all tears of joy. We started singing DYNAMITE GALILEO VERSiON ! hahah ! We were also thankful to Taylor Alison Swift because it was her birthday! We performed it again in the gym the next day for the whole school to see. 

              Yeah, we just proved something. And that is really something for us to be proud of. Because it was who we are and how we managed to become one. We may be stubborn, lazy and noisy, but we know we can do anything once we work together. We may have arguments inside our classroom, but one thing is for sure, we become one once someone goes against one of us. That's how we love and support one another. Yes they're special to me. They are the closest to my heart. They are my classmates, friends, barkada, kakulitan, kasama sa galaan, bestfriends but most of all, however you wanna call it, they are my life. GALILEANS FOREVER !

A YEAR WiTHOUT RAiN DELUXE EDiTiON and SELENA GOMEZ

                   Finally! I got my A Year Without Rain Deluxe Edition Album copy! I saved up my allowance just to get a copy of this. I'm sooooooo HAPPY! I got this yesterday, December 11, 2010. I bought it in SM MANiLA. I wasn't supposed to buy this yesterday yet but I got tempted and I just found myself buying it. When I got home, I immediately watched the videos and listened to the songs! It was awesome! 

                I promised to myself that I will surely buy this because I didn't buy Selena's first album which is Kiss & Tell. I was so depressed that time but I know that I'd get my copy of that one too. AYWR album is so beautiful and the singer as well. HAHA! 

             Selena Marie Cornett Teefey Gomez, also known as Selena Marie Gomez or Selena Gomez, is an 18 year old girl who loves to sing, dance, act and just do what she wants to. She was born in Grand Prairie, Texas. She started acting when she was still 7 years old. She started at Barney and friends and there, she knew her BFF Demi Lovato. They say that they met at the auditions. She auditioned in Disney when they had a nationwide casting call when she was 12 years old. She has her own show in Disney called Wizards of Waverly Place which premiered last October 12, 2007. 

            I became Selena's fan since I saw the first episode of Wizards. When I saw her acting, I was like "Who is she? She's so cute and a very good actress!" Then I watched it everyday and I remembered her name. Since then, I considered myself as a HUGE FAN! I just love her. Her attitude and all about her. She's my inspiration and role model. I learned so many things from her and I think that kids would love her and teenagers as well. She's really nice and I'm looking forward to meeting her. She's the reason why I wanted to be an actress someday too. I realized that I love acting. I love to play roles that aren't me. I would love to try some things that I can't do. I love to be a different person even just for an hour or so. She has inspired me to do things my way and to just be myself and discover myself more. 

           
           She taught me to do my best in everything that I do, and to be proud of the things that I have and will have. She made me realize how beautiful life is. Because of her words and actions, I love my family more now. I realized how important family is because of her. Because of her, I've loved my mom and I go with whatever she says now. She has touched my heart like no one else did. I just love her with all my heart. Okay, just to be clear, I love her not in a lesbian way but in a role model/inspiration way. HAHA! Right now, she's just everything I've ever wanted to be. I wanna be as successful as her. And therefore, I'll do my best in everything that I do so I can be like her. Many people say that she's boring because she's nice. I think not. She's nice because it's NATURALLY in her. I hate it when i read hate comments about her. I always protect her with those kind of comments because i'm kind of hurt too. Sometimes, I avoid reading hate comments because I know that they won't listen to me no matter what I say. It's their opinion, their life. I can't do anything about it. We can't please everyone. 

That's Selena Marie Gomez for me.

New Here!

I can't say anything ! haha . This is my VERY first post. Well, honestly, my first post should have been here a week ago but I can't type. I dunno why. Whenever I try to type, there's something wrong with the box. It's kind of weird. It kept on loading and there was no cursor so, I thought that if I gave it a time, I would be able to post soon, and it worked! HAHA ! Genius move! 

The reason why I made this blog is because of my nee-chan, Emina! Technically, I've always planned to make a blog but I was worried that I wouldn't be able to post everyday or I would probably forget about this but she said that I don't really have to post everyday. Just be sure to post whenever I can. Then she won. I made a blog! ahha! 


I think this would be my diary. An online diary 'cause I'm kind of lazy to write, so I'll TYPE! =) Hope to get to know you and myself more as we go and check each other's blogs. Join me as I share with you all my trips to the journey of my life as I survive my high school days, graduation and the pressure of getting into a new world called COLLEGE. Well, that would be next year but it's near! =))
