best win of my life

Today was the first day that I ever:

took a singles game to third set
won third set
beat Rodriguez in all my three years of playing
actually felt proud of my win


GREAT day of tennis (: hella unexpected people watched our games and it was almost surreal to have beaten my opponent. Mannn, I am so juiced right now. October is going to be awesome!

rally
football game
homecoming dance
red ribbon
campus cleanup

I'm sick

might have to miss a really important Friday ): FML, but not really b/c today was hellla fun regardless.

Wsup, my name is Mariko Liwag today

I'm soo sick of school. I need to get back on track, and quickly! I swear, the only class I actually like learning stuff in is chemistry. It's helllaaa fun (: for me at least.



Tennis is intense. I love it alllll though. I'm really happy with the player that I am becoming. I kinda want to be number one :P okay, I REALLY want to be number one. About to practice like a beast tomorrow to prepare for Friday's challenges cuz hella people want my spot now! Too bad, I love #2 singles and I promise that I won't give it up that easy.



Hope I'm not getting sick doh. Itchy ass throat and throbbing ass brain. BLAH!

I'm super poor

I want to go shopping so badly ):

I love vests

1st - I wasn't as prepared as I thought I was for the test. I think I at least did better than last time (: I'm going to start reading the chapters so that I can get super participation points
2nd - I hate this class. Well, not the class .. but I am not feeling Ms. Hill and the way that she's been being such a bitch towards me lately.
3rd - This is by far my favorite class. I love chemistry so much! I think this is the only class that I actually enjoy learning in
4th - Mr. V's class is soo boring now. I have to constantly fight falling asleep during his lessons
5th - Leadership is dull right now, I need more sleep
6th - I was able to join a group that was already almost done with their project, so I got full credit for doing basically nothing (: I'm getting pretty average at photoshop

Afterschool, tennis was too hot. I hate feeling like my skin is melting off + my new visor gives me acne ): Big game against Vanden tomorro, I'm excited!

it really isn't right the way that I

dislike someone due to my own insecurities, esp. when that person hasn't done anything particularly wrong towards me. I don't like that trait in myself. Jealousy is so ugly, I'm tossin' it! .. or at least I'm trying to (:

I really like my APUSH essays. Gotta start the Study Guide now .. it's going to be a loooong night, haha.


Happy 20 months boo :P

SLACKING

I am so mad at myself for being this way

princesses

I've been on a Disney classic princess spree. I reccently found our stash of Disney VHS's and so far this weekend, I've watched about 5 already! After watching Snow White .. I'm thinking about dressing up as her for Halloween

Friday - Julie came over for a little bit to bake cupcakes. We ended up just hanging out in my room and laughing at HSM3. Fun (:

Saturday - Finally watched 500 Days of Summer! It was too sad for me, but it was beautiful at the same time. Went to my Grandma's birthday party and it was really nice to see my entire family after such a long time. Played tennis with LaChelle for a little bit, then she bought us some yogurt. Go back to the party and I leave early with my mom.

Sunday - Go to the 10 o clock catechitical mass where we were all presented to the assembly. Went home and got ready to hang out with Aus. Walked Milo and chilled in our favorite spot. Made ourselves some ghetto shade and listened to some music off of his phone. Fun <3

the rest of the day = homework galore :P

I don't know

I'm tired all the time. Fuck homework dude .. this isn't healthy

Lady Gaga is awesome

Yesterday's game was awesome. Played Rod. and pretty much went into the match without any fears because I knew I wasn't going to win. Surprisingly, Coach took me to the side before my match and reassured me that I actually could beat my opponent. He told me that I needed to believe in myself and realize that I had the game. I played my hardest and had some great rallies, but lost 3-6, 5-7. Not bad if you ask me considering the fact that she was number two last year and I was one dubs. I loved my match .. but I knew I could have taken it to third set ): that is my only disappointment to be honest. I just couldn't return her serves! Oh well, next time around, I expect to put up an even better fight.

Afterwards, went to church for my catechist training. Turns out it was three hours long, not one ): Did all the presentations and got some good reviews. Apparently I'm very theatrical and tend to wave my arms around to get my point across. Sadly, I'm not sure if I'm going to continue on with being a catechist. They expect us to be at this 15 hour long day retreat plus a special mass the next day, then the actual class on Monday. I just don't know if I can handle all this time spent on confirmation. I'm really really slacking in school and feel tired allllll the time. Plus, they're trying to take away my weekend? The one time I get to catch up on sleep. Sorry, that's just not going to cut it.

Today, school was fine, tennis was frustrating, but hanging out with Aus made it all better. I love the weather at night!

US OPEN

hi, I'm in love with the 17 year old Melanie Oudin. I want to play just like her. She has such a huge heart and she's allll for America baby (: COME ON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

three in two

Friday was an awesome day. Everybit of school was just so damn chill, especially 6th period. I'm convinced that my physics teacher, Ms. Datu, is an idiot. HAHAH! Afterwards, went to a team run practice since coach was out with his family. Ralleyed and worked on some things we thought we needed work on, then eventually everyone was sitting on the courts just talking and eating and having a good ol' time. Went to this Pho that is supposed to be the best in Vallejo, and had some giant ass bowls of food for hella cheap (Julie is a beast at eating, she ate all of her food and a little bit of mine!). Once I was home, walked Milo with Aus for a little bit until it got dark. Amazing ass night doh <3 Kuya and I drive to Ate's and get some good ass food from Crepeville. Sleeeeeep.

Saturday we woke up early to get to this REI used gear sale. Get to the store and there are already hellaaa people. They take us to the back where there are boxes and boxes of stuff. All the people are hella frantic like a swarm of ants, it was crazy. Started with a whole pile of stuff, then left with about three items for Ate. Go back home and watch tennis - I FUCKING LOVE OUDIN!!!!! - then head to this trendy ass haircutting salon to watch Ate get her hair cut. They serve Ate wine and me some lemon/cucumber water <3 We grab a pizza, bring it home, then eat and drink while watching tv. Go out to this expensive, but delicious ass chocolate place down the street and grab a cookie and a mouthwatering macaroon .. tastes like heaven. Get back home and fall asleep while watching Sin City.

Sunday we wake up late and go to church. Eat at Buckhorns until I feel like throwing up. Kuya and I head back home and Mike already misses us both ): Drive home to the Journey album, then get home and leave to play tennis. Hours fly by while playing, then I break my racket strings and we call it a night. Third fucking racket in two fucking weeks damnit! Oh well, I got some great practice in. The rest of the night will be homework homework homework ):

Sorry I missed your party Arianna!!!! Happy Birthday <3333333333333

damn dude

I wish I was a bomb ass fixie rider

tonight's gonna be a good night

Finally, finally, finally, finally, finally!!! I won a game and I actually feel satisfied with it (:

All of the past preseason games we've had, I either hated my wins or loved my losses. Finally, I actually won, and felt good about it. What's been happening is I've been playing "pushers." Basically, they're the players that can somehow manage to get the ball over the net, no matter how hard you try to beast on them. The worst part about pushers is that they SUCK at playing! Do you realize how frustrating it is to put all of your energy into a shot, only to have it tapped back at you?! Good Lord, I was not going to let that happen again.

Today, we went to Vacaville and played on yet another hot ass, skin melting day. Yet again .. my opponent was a pusher. It's crazy, when I started to play my opponent, I was actually really angry already. I was tired of pushers! I really wanted to beat the shit out of this girl .. tennis wise. In the end, the score was 6-3, 6-4. Ya, they might not seem like the BEST scores, and they're really not, but I was soo happy with my last set. I was down 2-4 b/c the heat was really getting to me, then once I hit that score I just thought to myself, "WTF SAM, do you really wanna play a third set against this shitty ass girl on this hot ass day?!" I got my shit together and won 4 games in a row. I am on cloud freakin' nine right now!

I'm really happy right now, I hope it sticks. I also found a penny (heads up) on the ground, so I hope that helps with luck and all. Beginning to feel more confident in myself and I am really liking it (:

yeeeah buddy

I love Julie Ha doh!

trying for the mother fucking kill

School was cool. College Bowl in APUSH was awesome! Our group won 1st so we get an extra 9 points on our test tomorrow. SOO competitive. Mr. Carey needs a better system for the next College Bowl. Hill's class was extra chill. We decided what topics we wanted for our year long Factoid Friday project. I chose FIRST! and got light polution (: I'm excited. Then Ms. Hill went on a rant about a baby bear being chased by a cougar, hahaha her class is so fun nowadays. In marketing, we're doing a new project. I really wish this class was considered an art because I love it! Hopefully Muster's sixth period class is just as fun with even better people. The rest of the day was nothing much ..

Afterschool, stayed in the locker room until two cuz it was mighty hot outside. Kuya comes to school and brings me two tacos (: We all ride over to Armijo which turns out is kinda ghetto. New slang word learned; rollers = police. Played in the craziest fucking heat, as usual. Had to play this girl that SUCKED ASS, but was so consistent that any ball I hit, she would be able to hit it back, ugly lobbin' style. I started to get pretty fucked up by the heat and my own frustrations. Finally won 7-6, 7-5, the last game to finish. Fuck, tennis really is 90% mental and 10% physical. I needa get my shit together.

I'm dead tired now. Probably gonna BS homework or not do it at all. FML right now dude ): Someone comfort meeee
