Good news is that the world didn’t end! Haha a lot has happened over the year. I can’t believe the year is over. It was a great year. Loved it. Met wonderful people, experienced new things. With two hours left of 2012, I’m thankful to see 2013. I hope it brings me joy.

Who know if I’ll be posting for 2013. We’ll see where the year takes us.

Kairos 5 "Let it Happen"

Tue, 01 Jan 2013 00:59:35 -0500

Is. This. Real. Life. Kairos was an experience to remember. It took place November 5-7, 2012 okay here’s how it went down. I’ll try not to give lots of detail. But before going to Kairos, we had o much hw to do for other classes especially history. Boo! But yeah, we had to let the stress soak in here. So the day finally comes. First I wake up and have everything packed, excited for it to happen. So, we’re on the bus, anxious for what’s going to happen. The one thing on my mind is who my roommate will be. I was super scared to get someone I didn’t know or talk to. So we pull up and they tell us to get out room keys. I go to Cristina to get my key and she tells me room 12. So I’m like cool and waiting to see who my roommate is. So everyone tells asks me what room I got and I’m like 12. Then, Alyssa calls over to me and says., “Erfe what room did you get? 12?” Then I’m like yes. I can deal with Alyssa. It was chill. We were hella tight during Kairos. So we get there and they put us in groups. I’m like scared as hell because I don’t know if the leader I get will be all up on me because of my sister. I get the best leader ever, Christine. She is the awesomest person in the world. Definition of a Mercy girl as I always say. But yeah, I was put in an amazing group with amazing people. #sleepingbeauties haha but we were all chill with each other I love them so much. Then so we’re all there and talk about different topics. The food was amazing btw. So yeah we went to bed since they told us we needed it. Oh and did I mention, no clocks. We weren’t allowed to know what time it was. But yeah me and Alyssa went to bed and alla that and we talked bout everything before we went to bed. It was like really cool. We were saying that Kairos was alright and we were waiting for more. Then we talked about boys. Haha but yeah we were bored and wanted more. So we wake up and we’re like bleh. We went to our groups and we said we wanted to cry. But as soon as you know it. Alla us were happy and then the “cookies” came out and everyone started crying. It was crazy! I like couldn’t help it. Who kne the second day would be the day we’d cry! Haha it was crazy. Then the third day we were going home and you can tell everyone was just emotionally drained. I was the same. Then we got back and they surprised us at OLA and had our parents there. Then they gave us our crosses which I wear everyday. It was overall a wonderful experience. K5 forever

Skipping over to November since nothing much happened in October. November, hmm idk what happened even tho it was like just last month. Haha oh, I started tutoring young kids at Hillcrest. I’m not sure if I want to continue but we’ll see. It’s really fun and I enjoy it so maybe I will do it second semester. My sissy came back! Yayerz! It’s like she never left when he came back since it felt the same. OHP, I can’t forget. One big thing happened to me this month. It needs it’s own post since it’s that incredible.

OH, I did stage crew for Riordan. That was really fun. I liked meeting new people and painting stuff for the play. I really enjoyed this.during this time, I got closer to Alexis and Becca since we were doing the play together. And Brooklyn! She’s so sweet. She’s new to Mercy and she’s super nice. I feel bad cause I was kinda mean to her in the beginning cause whoever talked to her alla sudden started atcting ghetto. I’m like oh please she is everything but ghetto. She’s hella white. Haaah but yeah, that’s pretty much it. The four of us would always go to TPumps. Bwahaha

I don’t recall much from this month but I did know I got my first job as a CYO referee for volleyball. I gotta tell you, it’s no walk in the park. Especially when parents yell at you. But whatever, I made some money that made everything all right. This was month was when my sister left for college. We made the trip to Oregon. We said our goodbyes but ya know, she’s gotta do what she’s gotta do.

August, the start of Junior Year!

Tue, 01 Jan 2013 00:24:03 -0500

I remember we started school to early! Which made it impossible to go to the PI for my grandpa’s funeral. I was really disappointed. But, Junior year! I was excited to finally be upperclassman! So, I get to school and I go to my locker and find out my advisor Ms. Agius left. I dropped to the floor overreacting. I really loved her. She was amazing. But, I get to advisory and a new teacher named Ms. Polischuck is my new advisor. She was really young and quiet. That meant only one thing in our advisory, 107R, no more cats! But it took us a while to like Ms. P. Lol since she was half of the class’s math teacher most of us learned to love her. But, here’ how my schedule worked out:

Period 1: Ceramics- my teacher is so nice and really helpful
Period 2: History- ehh, bummed I didn’t get Townsend but I realized no ones better than Ms. Zevas
Period 3: Religion- I love my teacher! Religion this year is chill af!
Period 4: Algebra 2- one thing I was happy about, no more Ms. A as a teacher! YES! Ms. P is chill!
Period 5: Asl- bleeh I’ll talk more about that later
Period 6: English- not half bd I got to admit
Period 7: ChemC- easy af.

So I get to class on the very first academic day. I find out they replace hella teachers with new teachers and I’m like the fuck? All the teachers were new and young. I’m like Mercy is deaf not the same. Great.

Summer 2012- Unexpected goodbyes

Tue, 01 Jan 2013 00:07:00 -0500

I remember it very well. I was sleeping in because it was summer and I didn’t have to to go to summer school. I woke up and found out my grandpa almost died. See the thing was he was very sick. We found out in June I think that he had cancer and it was metastitising. I remember my mom crying when we found out. She told us over dinner at Boiling Crab while my grandpa was in the bathroom. She said there was nothing left to do but make him comfortable. So, did just that. We sent him to the Philippines because he said he wanted to spend his last moments there. A couple weeks past by and we got a phone call from my auntie. She said that my grandpa was turning purple and he almost died. Luckily, they brought him to the hospital in time. During this time, I’m not going to lie, I was a little excited to go to the Philippines after 11 years. But, it didn’t happen since my grandpa was all right. So, I go on the computer and I was about to tweet. All of a sudden, I find out my friend Angelo’s dad passed away. I couldn’t help but cry. I couldn’t believe Mr. Domagas passed away. He was such an amazing man. He was very in to basketball and he loved his fam. I always say, Angelo is a good man because his father was a good man that taught him well. I went to the services he held and it was just really upsetting. I never expected it to happen. Instead of receiving bad news from my fam side, I found out bad news from my friend’s side. Then, a few weeks passed by again and it was August. The very first day of August. I remember I went out to watch a movie with Dina and Becca. We watched Step Up 4 I believe. So we were eating after and I went to get Starbucks. My mom called me and asked me where I was and how I was doing. She then told me to check up on my auntie because she said my granpda was dying. Yes, not turning purple but dying. So, I just brush it off and say to myself that it’s another false alarm. So, I get home and text my auntie since my mom said to check up on her. I text her saying how’s grandpa doing and I think she says this exactly “Hi, grandpa is not doing well. The priest gave him his final blessing. I don’t think he will be able to make it when mommy (grandma) comes home.” I was a little shocked saying what? So, I run to my sisters and try to tell them. All of a sudden, my auntie calls me crying. I couldn’t understand her. She said that my grandpa passed away. My heart felt nothing but sorrow. We went to my grandma’s house after. I didn’t know what to do. I couldn’t believe that he was gone. It took me days to realize that he was gone. Up til this day I can’t believe he’s gone. He was the only one that ever told me I was pretty. He was the only one that was really proud of me. He loved me for me. Just like I wished anyone would do. I miss him. I really do. He was the biggest SF Giants fan and loved his job at the laundry. Another person that meant a lot to me was my religious director, Mr. Gerardo. I was pulling an all-nighter during summer of course, and this kid that went to my school Rajerai posted on Facebook “RIP Mr. Leo Gerardo. You will be missed.” I was like what? Are you serious? I never expected that to happen. Mr. G was such a cool dude. I can’t believe he was sick. I can’t believe I lost another great man in my life. He inspired me so much in my religious life. I always say, Christmas is never the same without him. This summer was one heck of a summer. My mind still can’t wrap around the idea of losing these loved ones. It’s just something I wished didn’t happen. I feel like they’re all on a vacation. But one thing I’ve learned, life goes on.

May 2012

Mon, 31 Dec 2012 10:05:00 -0500

I’m gonna skip over to May since nothing really happened in March and April. I remember this quite well. I ended Sophomore year on a good note. My History teacher was amazing. She was beyond amazing actually. It was a sad moment because she had to leave. She was transferring to SI because our school didn’t give her enough hours. It was sad tho because she wasn’t the only teacher that left. I’ll talk about it later. But, during this time, my sister graduated. It was a bittersweet moment. I can’t believe that she was leaving. She got accepted to University of Oregon. Yes, that means she was going to be miles away from home. I didn’t want her to leave. I knew I was going to lose the only person I could really talk to. It kills me to think about it because I its different without her at home. I know she doesn’t know how much it hurts me for her to be so far away. But, if this what makes her happy then I honestly can’t do much but be happy for her. On a lighter note, I didn’t have to go to summer school for Math! The highlight of sophomore year most def. but I definitely ended sophomore year the way I wanted to. I loved sophomore year so much. On thing that did happen was my auntie and little cousin came from the PI to take care of my grandpa which I’ll talk about later. It was fun. I finally got to meet my little cousin and it’s always wonderful to have my auntie here.

I’m not too sure what happened in this month. I think by this time I had my permit nd was waiting anxiously to get my license! But I dont really recall a big events that happend.

Wait I just have one comment to vent about. Why do people cheat? I don’t understand. I really don’t. If you’re not happy in a relationship, then tell the person. Don’t just go around and act like it’s okay to hurt the person by cheating just because you’re unhappy. That just shows how selfish you are. If you actually made the effort to talk to the person about what you’re unhappy about, then maybe you wouldn’t have to sneak around and cheat. It’s one thing to hurt the person that you’re in a relationship with and it’s another thing to hurt other people affected by it. I believe, and will lays believe that people who cheat are heartless and don’t deserve to be in a relationship of any type until they understand what a relationship really is.

Wow. I am beyond speechless. It’s been 10 months since I havent been posting blogs like I said I would for a whole year. I’ll be completely honest with you, it makes me wanna cry a little. I’m upset that I havent been posting because a numerous amount of things have happened in my life that I have never expected to happen. Ever. I’ll try to break it down for you in parts. From getting my license, to starting Junior year, having to be far from my sister, to losing loved ones, getting closer to amazing friends, and experiencing something that really means a lot to me, Kairos. Hopefully I can put my experiences in words.
