Happy New Year!

Hello everyone! Happy New Year to all of you!



You can post the pic above on your blog if you like. I think the Merry Christmas one on my last post looks better. I had in mind a fireworks background and a happy person with it on the pic, that's why it's Happy New Year. It's the best pic I could find. Even if Yuna is not smiling as guess it will do.

Has any of you made any new year's resolutions? Well I'll be creating mine just now.

My New Year's Resolutions:
1. Be more organized.
2. Be more generous.
3. Study harder.
4. Do my best in everything.
5. Work harder.
6. Write more.
7. Paint more.
8. Never let the day end without doing something productive.
9. Try not to be late as often as before ^_^.
10. Publish my SCROLL (it's my newspaper) on time.

Well, that's all I could think of for now. I can't really say wether I follow my resolutions or not. I can't really remember last year's resolutions. Anyways, I hope I stay true to my word, so help me God.

answer to Eryka: Here's a link to Gaia: clicky!

answer to Claudia: It's free?! Hm... I'll see, but we still don't have enough space on our hard drive. Nevertheless, if the size is right, I might download it.

A Break from Neopets

I apologize to all of my friends who read this blog and doesn't play neopets. I bet there was a lot of time when you just have no idea what I'm babbling about. That is why in this post, I won't discuss any matters related to the greatest virtual petsite in the world.

Humdidum..... lalala..... I can't think of anything to say.





Here's a thought: writing. I am glad to announce that I am back from the writing business once again. Finally, no more sleepless nights, wringling of hands and murmurs of, "I want to write, I want to write...." According to one thread in the forums of Gaia, that makes me a real writer, if you get delirious when you don't write for too long. Just joking, I think I was exaggerating too much.

Talking about Gaia, I logged in my account again, just last night. I had no idea there was this Mistletoe-thing going on there. If a mistletoe suddenly appears on your avatar while reading a post, you get to kiss someone and they say you win something, but I really didn't receive anything at all I think. Lol, I kept on kissing strangers ^_^. Well what do you expect, none of my friends play Gaia. Hmm... maybe I should recruit some of my friends. Lemme see... Hanyeo's internet is broken, I bet Rosy doesn't care, Precious... maybe I'll text her about it later, Mika... I'll just IM her. There, I think Mika and Presh will do. Hey, Erika and Claudia: wanna play Gaia?

Lol, first neopets, then Gaia. What's next? Ragnarok? Oh no, I don't want to be a RO adict like Sean! I think I'll stick with neopets. I haven't reached my goal of having more neopets than my bestfriend, Hanyeo, yet.

Well, that's all for now.
Happy New Year!

Edit: Here's a Christmas greeting from Claudia:

Hope you don't mind me posting it here. :)

I also have a Christmas pic-greeting I made for all my affiliates:


Sorry, I didn't make one for non-affiliates. Anyway, Christmas is over, I'll just make a Happy New Year one. Sigh... I'm going to have a hard time finding a nice pic again.

Edit: I just read Eryka's blog and I just realized, I haven't posted anything here about my Christmas, yet! I'm so forgetful! Okay, well I received lots of money last Dec. 25, I got 1800 pesos! At night time, we went to the Boardwalk and ate at the Anthology. It was so nice! There were mimes, a wonderful band and a statue or should I say, a person acting like a statue and he moves if you put money on his till. Oh yeah, their sisig is to die for. I bought lots of things with my money including a magazine for artists, new paints (I ran out of greens, yellow and white since my last painting), a good-quality paintbrush (all of this costs a lot), a new top, new pants and the latest issue of W.i.t.c.h.!

Dowm the tubes...

I'll just be quick. I now have--i mean, i once have- 70,000 nps, because I read in a book called Rich Dad, Poor Dad for Teens, that savers are losers and you should invest your money so that it would grow. That's exactly what I did though it did not really grow, in fact, it... shrank. I withdrew all my money from the neopian bank, bought lots of ten dubloon coins then sold them in a higher price and bought some stocks from the stockmarket even if I have no idea how it works.

All my dubloons were bought, I sold some stocks (in a higher price) and bought some more. What confuses me though is that I only have 20,000 nps left and my stocks were worth 20,000. Where did my 30,000 go?

I remember doing a snow faerie quest so I can get a secret avatar and it cost me 10,000 nps more or less. Still, I don't understand where the rest of my hard-earned money that I spent my entire Christmas break to grow, went.

It's fun losing loads of money, I better do it more often (*punches myself*).

End of post.

Neopoints

Sorry for not updating this blog as often as before. Neopets has made me so busy. My shop is doing soooo well. It's already size 8! ^_^ I also have 45 secret avatars! Woohoo!! It's turning 46 because I'm getting close in completing all 10 codestones and get the codestone secret avatar. lol I'm being a neo-addict again, but I'm not really that addicted, if I were I would have more neopoints than I already have. I only have 60,000 plus neopoints. :( Oh well....

answer to Claudia: I've heard of Maple Story before. I think it's like Ragnarok and you still need to dowload it and I'm not allowed to download. There's too much in our hard drive already. :( I can't even install any games anymore. Oh well.

YM

My brother downloaded and installed Yahoo Messenger on our PC. It's basically no use for me because I don't have that much friends. And their chat is also useless for me because all the people there are horny. Neopets is the only thing that's keeping me entertained and it is also kind of boring. Sigh.... That's why I'm not one of those people who doesn't like going to school. Don't get me wrong, I'm not a big fan of studying, I just don't like being idle and feeling bored. I'd rather do something more productive.

Everything is going well on neopets. My shop is doing just fine. I'm also getting better with the games which means more neopoints for me!

Forgive me for this boring entry, not much is happening here at home.

Neopets X Christmas Party X Gifts

I started playing neopets again! The advent calendar is back in business again. Yay!

I think I now know what I'll do during the christmas break. If last summer I focused on my guild, now I'm going to concentrate on my shop and make it big! Truck of neopoints, here I come!!

I'm already making a lot of money. Kaching! Kaching! When I checked my shop till after a very long break, I was shocked to see 10,000 neopoints in it! Wow! Then I also got a codeston in Tombola then just now, I received a petpet and a thousand neopoint from the fruit machine.

One day, I will be richer than my bestfriend Hanyeo, who has more than 200,000 neopoints! Basta, I'm going to be rich. No. I'm going to be filthy rich! XD

$$$

Finally, exams are over and tomorrow is our Christmas Party. Yehey! There has been some discussion about our section going to Enchanted Kingdom. I think it's cancelled though.

Me and Mika went to SM today. It's both our first time to go there by commuting. Luckily, we did not get lost. I bought lots of gifts, now I'm very poor. WAAAHH!! Palimos. ^_^

New Template

What do you think of this new template? It's only temporary until I get my own template done. I got it here: http://homepage.mac.com/ravasthi/blog_templates.

Haircut X Debut X Park X Math X Bio X Studies

I have a new haircut! The style is shaggy, my mom picked the style. I don't like it. A nice, simple cut would've done me better. Maybe know I won't be forgetting to tie my hair anymore.

We cut it on the day before my cousin's debut.

The debut was not as bad as I thought, except for the food. It was bland except for the fish-things. They even have a mango crepe with this brown, bitter sauce which I think is sugar--burned.

I've talked to James Park! No, he's not the thief, but he does have my key and somebody only gave it to him. He's nicer than I expected. Details on the post below this.

Hmm... what else? Oh! I can't believe it, I'm actually starting to like math! Yup, my view of my most despised subject is actually getting better! That's because I'm really taking it more seriously now and I'm also putting a lot of effort in studying it. Yesterday, our teacher gave us a quiz. Most of my seatmated were unable to finish it, but I was able to and I'm 100% sure my answers are correct! First time lol.

Life is going well for me. During our biology class, we did a project about the different kinds of sydromes. While my classmates only wrote "Syndromes" on the cover of our project, I on the other hand, decorated it. When I passed my project, Ms. Sison said, "Ganda..." ["Nice..."], in an awed tone. Whoopi!

I am now more inspired to study. I'm very sure I will do well on our quarter test next week.

I love my life! ^_^

James Park

Sorry for not updating for far too long.

James Park did not steal my lock. It turns out, somebody also gave him the lock. This is driving me nuts! Ofcourse I asked him who gave him the key, he replied saying the person's section, I didn't quite hear this well because I said, "Can I have the name?" But I think he said section 18. He also said that Malo (or something that sounds like it) gave the key to him. So me and Mika asked some first years if they know anyone that has the name "Malo" or something that sounds like that. They said they know Marlowe. Then we asked where section 18 is. We were right beside a classroom then and they pointed at the door--they were from section 18. "Marlowe" was not at the classroom then, according to them so me and Mika went to our locker first, then we came back and Marlowe said he didn't steal the lock nor know anyone who steals them. But he does know James Park, I don't trust this Marlowe-person. I searched for Park again to ask him the name, but we found him in his classroom and there was already a teacher present. We had no choice but to wait till Thursday because we have no classes tomorrow and it was our dismissal then and the freshmen's recess.

Even if I haven't found my lock and the real culprit, I'm happy; at least I found my keychain and key. Unfortunately for Mika, she haven't regained anything yet. I didn't want to post it here before be because Mika forbid me too, but she lost some japanes comics (manga) when she lost her lock and they weren't even hers, she only borrowed them from her friend, Miko. She's afraid that if Miko finds out, she will be very, very angry or worse. I don't remember telling Miko the URL of my website, so I guess it's safe to post it here. If you know Miko, don't dare tell her, I don't want Mika to be mad at me.

This case is driving me nuts!
