unusual

Readers,
Javier, cómo encuentras TODOS los cambios que le hago al blog?! Jajaja!
Today, something curious happened. I was on my way back from university, I finally finished the book I was reading (which took me more than a month due to the fact that I've been quite busy this month), when I got on the bus together with a bunch of football fans on their way to the stadium which is about two blocks from my house.
There were these two kids about 40cm from me (full bus) whose conversation I happened to be listening to. They were talking about people at their school. First, they talked about how cool some people were, but then they started gosspping and stuff (guys say girls are the gossipy ones, I thought).
Then, the conversation kept on going, I got some phonecalls in between, and when I realised that they were talking about some people from my (ex)school, I realised that they were actually from my school, although I never saw them before. They were two years younger than me. They went on talking about some teachers, other people I knew, about how wasted they would get on their trip to Spain (both of them were going to do the same trip we did last year) so I couldn't help but laugh quietly at times.
When we (along with the rest of the passengers) got off the bus, they went on and on, until I couldn't help bit talk to them. I apologised for my intrusion and then I asked them if they were from Third Medio, they said yes. I told them I was from the same school, etc, etc. I commented some of the things they were talking about. After all, we had been 40cm apart for about half an hour, so it was kind of difficult not to hear the whole conversation. Then, they went to the stadium and I went home.

It was weird. Normally, I would've stayed quiet and then regret about not talking to them, but I actually did! It was... unusual.

Tomorrow I'm going to school, in fact, so maybe I'll find them around there, maybe not (they might feel a little blue over the fact that the team they were going to watch lost the match and got kicked out of the tournament).

That's all, folks!
Cee Cee.

fear

I am afraid. I used to be a hundred percent sure that we would be friends forever and ever and that things wouldn't change at all, but less than two months have passed and it has changed completely.

Until last year, every weekday from March to December, I had some great anecdote to tell my parents, brother, blog, or who/whatever about my school friends. Now, those stories are "starred" by my new uni friends. I couldn't be more glad that I made friends so easily and that we have become so close this quickly, but it isn't the same with my old friends and I'm afraid. I know that they will be there for me forever, and that I will be there for them. I know we'll never lose contact thanks to the social networks, telephone, emails and stuff, but it isn't the same. I don't want to feel like I replaced them with my new friends because all I can write about in my blog each day is my experiences with the "new" ones.
I believe in changes, I embrace them, but I don't want to lose what I had. I want to talk to them, laugh with them, tell them about the new things in my life... And mayybe that's the reason why I still blog. In case some of them reads about my "day a day", who knows.
SUBLIMINAL MESSAGES FTW!

I didn't think that was necessary to say that obviously there are some missing people there, but then I thought I would write it anyway, just in case :)

Cee Cee

P.S. I am glad April is coming to an end (BEDA). I love blogging, but sometimes I just don't have the time to write, so I post empty randomness and apologise for the crappy entries.

#194 - magnificent day

Today, almost my entire class organized themselves not to go to school today, but us six.

However, it was one of the most awesome days at school. We had lots of fun! :)

#173 - read

The left door of our classroom was broken. Still, everyone tried to open it, so we put a bunch of signs everywhere. +

#160 - freaks

These are my awesome classmates. I love them all very much, they're the best :) Other classes call ous the "4th Freak", but we don't care. Long live "4th F"! +

Cee Cee.

#124 - stuDYING

#118 - fernando pando

He's my Chemistry teacher. He's really awesome and his birthday is every Wednesday and Thursday of the year (we sing Happy Birthday to him in every single Chemistry class). But this was better, because we ordered a pizza for his "73rd" birthday (for every time we sing him the Happy Birthday song, he ages up a year). +

#116 - saint gabriel's

Taken at school... cool sky that day. +

#111 - clay

Remember the hand sculpture my friend, Josefina, was doing? Here it is! Yes, yes... most people can't notice that the hand is not real until I tell them. I mean, it's pretty obvious, since it is white, but still, they don't. You can see some imperfections there, but that's because it wasn't yet sanded when I took the photo. +

#110 - science

At my school, you can choose either to follow the IB (International Baccaulereate) programme or not. I am in the IB programme, but I don't have to take all the exams, so I chose Biology, History and English (this last one is mandatory, but if it wasn't, I would've chosen it anyways). The thing is that in the IB Biology programme, we have to do a lot of experiments. This is the first one of I-don't-know-how-many and it worked! +

#103 - vocational fair

I think I have more pens, plus all the bags, brochures, notebooks, etc. from the different universities. +

#82 - ol' ties

Before our Badge & Tie Ceremonie started. Seniors have different ties than the rest of students, so every year, they give Seniors a new tie with the year on it. This was our time, 2010. And, well, these are our old ties +

Dear blue people,
GOD! Who'd say that school could be so stressful! I've been studying day and night, I'm so tired!
But let's go to the important matter (you, who are you?)... wait, is there anything important happening? I always introduce stuff without knowing what I'm going to write next, for example, everytime I write "what else..." I always, want to write something then, but I can't think of anything, so I spend years to think of something. I'm such a moron, I should just delete what I wrote in the first place.

♥ Aaaanyway, let's see... I thought of something and it just took me a coupe of minutes! I BOUGHT THE OFFICIAL MICHAEL JACKSON OPUS! I'm so thrilled right now! Now, I'm just left to wait.
♥ I think one of my friends now hates me and I don't know why she shoud or if she does hate me, really, though it seems like so. And, I don't know if this is worse, but the one guy that I kinda' like, likes her, and it's quite likely that she likes him as well...
♥ I'll have to sing for a farewell lunch we're organising for the generation who is graduating this year. I mean, I don't sing at all, but a friend of mine couldn't sing alone, so they picked me and though I tried convincing other people, I accepted. We'll be singing that "Wonderwall of Broken Dreams" mash-up and "Hanging by a moment" by Lifehouse. I'm so nervous... It's going to be Nov 19th, so cross your fingers for me not to make a fool of myself :)

I can't believe how random I am!
It's just the way I am. Well, now I'm off to keep on studying.
That's all, folks!
Cee Cee.

will you let me romanticise?

Hello dearest readers!

It's been a while since my last entry, but whatever, I'm here again.
First of all, I think I never told you, but i have a Tumblr:
http://lightblack.tumblr.com/
So yeah, that's one thing. It's been quite a lot in my life these past days, some of them pretty harsh, some of them just amazing. I prefer to keep the first ones to myself, because I hate making everyone depressed.
Let's start with school. Although I've been a little stressed because of it, I'm really glad that all the effort is worth it, just as my History teacher said on our IB talk. You know, I'm on a sort of Enlightenment period right now (thinking and acting rationally to end up with an emotional feeling: happiness), that means I'm studying a lot, doing all the homework, having almost no social life after school in order to get to the end of the term with good marks and being happy on holidays :)

Next subject, friends. I have a gay friend! I'm not sure if you actually knew, but I've always wanted one and now, one has come out of the closet and tadá! Somehow, I've realised I'm a trustworthy person and that I can give great advice. Making people happy makes me happy (wait, that's not exactly what my Enlightenment period is about, but having little moments of happiness doesn't hurt anyone).

Let's see, what else... Michael Jackson! (♥) I went to Museo de la Moda to see an exhibition of him. There were a lot of items related to him, from clothes (i.e. the glove) to drawings (i.e. the BAD Mickey Mouse). It was really beautiful, and I felt kind of a connection there. Also, I have my tickets for THIS IS IT for November 3rd at 5:30pm.

Now it's time for random stuff:
- My cameras arrived!!!!!!!!
- The Chilean football team is going to the World Cup Championship in SouthAfrica :)
- I need money, so I'm going to sell Cake Pops at school! Thank you, Bakerella!
- I'm loving tFS! People are great there.
- I miss my friends from VP the best :(
- I've become a fan of Happy Farm.
- I have some new serious crushes.
- I love The Office so much! Niagara was the loveliest episode in the world.
- I'm watching Glee, so I think I'm over with the entry.

That's all folks!
Cee Cee.

i'm sorry for the lack of posts lately. it's just i've been very...

P.S. Hey, vote for Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers "Into the great wide open"!

Hello, hello! Actually I don't have any interesting to say. Actually, my holidays are over. I started school again last Monday and I'm already kind of stressed. I have to write a text commentary of a book, study for a test, re-write a TOK essay and start with my art project... everything has to be done for tomorrow. Nice, huh?
Aaaanyway, I came to welcome August and to wish you the best.
Love, Cee.

¡Hola, hola, chiringuitos!

OMG, tantas cosas han pasado últimamente. Las dos semanas que pasaron fueron increíblemente estresantes. Sólo resumámoslo en tres horas de sueño diarias como promedio, porque hay noches en que dormí seis como otras en que dormí una hora y media y otra en que pasé de largo (terminamos un trabajo a las 6:30am, y salimos de la casa a las 7.00am con rumbo al colegio). Sí, gracias queridísimo colegio. Y no me vengan con el cuentito del "por qué dejas todo para el final?!", porque si fuera así como tener todo el tiempo del mundo para poder haberlo hecho, no tendría sentido el hecho de que haya estado dos semanas haciendo otras school-related stuff, no?
Temporalmente, esa historia se acabó el martes y, por suerte, el esfuerzo no fue en vano y no terminé el trimestre con mala nota (recompensa: un trolley de Hershey's Kisses).

Desde entonces, la historia a cambiado un poco, gracias a Dios. Logré ver las season finales de mis dos series favoritas del momento. Fueron... perfectas.

También tuve el evento en el Castillo Hidalgo anoche. Lo pasamos súper con las chicas y Claudio. No podíamos sentirnos más modelos en ese momento, jajaja!

Y mientras nosotras bailábamos en el after, otras niñas se desmayaban porque Jonas Brothers estaban tocando en el Club Hípico. Esos chicos y Demi me caen genial, son simpatiquísimos, y muy sanitos como nadie en su mundo. Hoy en la mañana me puse a ver fotos que subieron a su Twitter y habían unas buenísimas de Nick y Joe jugando Wiffleball, otra del staff, Joe con todo el traje de huaso (poncho, sombrero y banderita) y Nick tomándose una RedBull.

Y hoy tuvimos un family daytrip y sacamos a mi abuelo de paseo a Pomaire. Comimos unas parrilladas y nos reimos bastante, fue un lindo día, aunque algo casador, vale decir (una horita de sueño en el auto lo prueba).

Creo que, luego de tanto tiempo sin actualizar, esta entry es suficiente, no? jajaja.
Bueno, ahora intentaré subir más seguido.
Millones de besitos, queridos lectores.

Camirín.

Ahhh... quedé. Sí, estaría yendo a NYC. Sería la segunda semana de julio si es que no hay inconvenientes, como lo del virus AH1N1.

Wow, estoy resfriadísima, tanto, que falté al colegio el miércoles (suelo tener 100% de asistencia, por lo que tengo que estar muy enferma como para faltar). Oh God, tengo tanto que hacer... trabajos, libros, informes, guías, pruebas, etc. maldito colegio, por suerte esto se acaba en dos semanas y media y luego, un pequeño descanso.

Por suerte, las juntas con amigos me han alivianado un poco esto. El jueves me junté con mis ex-compañeras de nado sincronizado y luego me fui donde Mati-chan, por su cumple y lo pasamos súper con todos los chicos.
Ayer no fue un gran día y hoy tuve modelaje. Todo fue bastante regular, nada muy nuevo hasta que, terminada la clase, nos llamaron a unas cinco de la clase y nos dijeron que íbamos a ir al Castillo Hidalgo a un evento que se hace mensualmente. La cosa es que iremos al sector VIP de modelos y estaremos nosotras junto a otros modelos profesionales para introducirnos más en ese mundo. Imagínense qué privilegio! Y cuán entretenido será ir a ese evento! Además nos contaron que ahí hay una pista de baile enorme, el sector VIP ultra exclusivo con sillones de cuero, atención personalizada, etc., que el lugaren sí, es hermoso (como un castillo, claro, y en el cerro Santa Lucía...), yadda yadda.
Esto será el miércoles 12, can't wait for it!
