23.9

It's getting real.

23.9 (20.9)

So we did pretty damn well in the tournament on Thursday! Won two games out of three - losing to ISKL's varsity and winning against KLASS and ISKL!

Team: Fiona, Gown, Sofea, Danielle, Natasha, Olivia, Ashleigh, Lauren, Wakako and I. (Lauren and Ashleigh left after the first game to attend the Maroon 5 concert)

First game - We went against the hardest team to beat first - ISKL's varsity. We were down by at least half a dozen points in the first set and by at least 3 or 4 in the second set. They beat us in two sets and that really brought the whole team's spirit down. Our serve receives weren't the best and there were errors made here and there. Quite a bit of the points that we got were given to us by service errors or spiking errors. On a positive note, we didn't let one ball drop in front of us for the most part. Only once or twice. We scrambled for every ball. Regardless, they still beat us. However, we managed to regroup and gained our confidence back after the game ended.

Second game - ISKL's junior varsity. We had two and a half hours to regain our confidence and set ourselves straight in terms of confidence and team spirit. We began coming together after each point we earned or lost. This really brought each other's spirits up and it led us to victory in THREE sets. ISKL JV won the first set by about three or four points and we came back with a vengeance with a point difference of at least 4. Then came the nerve-wracking third set which only went up to 15. We were down by about half a dozen points and our hope slowly faded away but our confidence was still there. We had faith in each other. We constantly cheered each other on, had our game on and called for every ball that came our way. We managed to catch up. We switched sides with 8-5 or 8-4 on the scoreboard and we HAD to catch up. We did. We were tied at 14-14 when ISKL made an error and we had an advantage of 14-15. Since we had to win by two points, I had to go on for service. It was either I get an ace or ISKL makes an error or we gain our winning point by spiking or putting the ball into an empty spot. Either way, it was a team effort. I was tense on the inside knowing that there was tons of pressure on me. I make a service error, the JV team gets a point and we're tied again at 15-15 or I make the serve and hope for the best. I tried to calm myself down when I saw that my shoelace was untied and I asked the ref if I could tie it. Thankfully, he allowed me to and I used the time to calm myself down. Moments after tying my shoelace, I tossed the ball into the air and hit it with confidence and the appropriate amount of strength. An ISKL player dove for the ball but to her dismay it hit the  net and nobody could save it. I GOT AN ACE, IT WAS THE WINNING ACE. Oh, I was so happy. Everyone on the team started whooping with joy. We won our first game. And it was extra special because when the ISKL JV team came over to our school for a friendly, we lost to them in two straight sets. We got them back!

Third game - Our third and final game was against KLASS and it was immediately after our game against the ISKL JV so we BARELY had time to refill our water bottles and chill out. But this all didn't matter because we won against them in two straight sets! Each set by at least four points! Ahh, this was the best game. I managed to volley the ball into the 'perfect spot', which was in the middle of all the players' positions. It resulted in nobody going for the ball out of confusion on who was going to go for the ball. Proudest moment yet. Olivia did exceedingly well with her serves with at least three aces! Gown's serves, Fiona's serves, Sofea's serves, Natasha's serves ahh they were all SO good. Each one of them earned at least one ace and I was so happy. We expected KLASS to be a tough team to beat because their game against ISKL Varsity was tight! But we beat them in two straight sets and that made me SO happy.

I'm so happy to be a part of this team, let alone being on the starting six and having coach call me a versatile played. This team drives me to push myself to work harder and improve faster. Our determination is off the charts and matchless. I cannot wait for us to improve further. I'm so, so proud of everybody. It seems like during the tourney, we improved in just a matter of hours but it all boiled down to team spirit and our support for each other.

Fiona's face when her spikes worked, Gown's face when her serves were powerful and in, Danielle's face when one of her tips worked, Sofea's face when she attacked effectively and smartly, Olivia's face when she aced a serve, Ashleigh's face when she successfully blocked a spike, Natasha's face when she had three of her serves unreturned in a row, Wakako's face when she had a good serve, Lauren's face when one of her bumps was perfectly targeted. We all had a moment of success and this makes me sooo happy that we got at least one thing good out of the entire tournament. Train harder, play smarter and we'll be even better! Looking forward to the rest of the season!!!!

YAY!

The new Apple iPhone's released! I don't know what to say about it though. The features are so amazing but the back of the phone is just so egh.

Video here.

Wow

Click here and press play. (I would link you to my tumblr but my theme doesn't provide permalinks so it's basically my home page and if you click on it...tomorrow or something it might take you a while so here)

12.9

Haven't posted in a milllllion years! But let's just say I've had a rough couple of days.

Spirit Week's arrived!
Monday: PJ Day (wore my onesie + my david & goliath laughing stock pj's underneath)
Tuesday: Sports Day (wore my LFC jersey + school touch shorts)
Wednesday: Wacky Wednesday, which I really don't like (wore patterned harem pants + a colorful crop + a gray tank + mismatched keds + Gown's bow head thing + my ski hat)
Thursday: Superhero/Hero Day (blazer + white shirt + tights + oxfords) trying my best to be Agent something from MIB HAHA.
Friday: Tiger Day!

The school spirit this year has seriously been amazing. I love it, I love it, I love it. People turn up for games, participate in the Spirit Week activities during lunch ahh it's so amazing.

We've been having activities every lunch time this Spirit Week and they've all been so much fun to watch ahh!

Monday: High School Pillow Fight!
Tuesday: Just Dance (I think it was some Wii dance thing) competition - SOOOO funny I can't even.
Wednesday: Apple bobbing, chubby bunny challenge and donut on a string challenge like race thing. You had to do all of these in a sequence.

But thank goodness I didn't go up for any of them because I would've failed my butt off.

Oh, and we played some friendlies at school on Monday against ISKL's JV teams.....we lost but it was an experience. It was my first game (even though it was a friendly) and it's not easy, I'm telling you this.

Ok bye.

7.9-9.9

FRIDAY
I guess Friday was a good day. Kinda forgot what happened oops. But I'm in the starting six for volleyball HOLY CRAP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

SATURDAY
I woke up, then went to watch ma boys at the basketball game in school. THEY WON 79-69 YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Shaun and Michael played SO well. Honestly, I was so proud. Oh, I'm like a mother duck. And Zach Paz is such a great player I can't even. They played really well. And I had so much fun watching the game with Fiona, Ashley, Alice and Danielle ahh. Then they came over to my house and I made them lunch HAHA. Whatever then I had an unproductive day but I stayed up til 2 making flashcards for Mandarin. Also, I had the weirdest dream on Friday night lol.

TODAY
I woke up super early to go to a breakfast with my mom's friends and the fan gave me allergies. Like super bad I needed my inhaler but I didn't have it and all that ugh whatever. Planning on having a productive day.

So many things making me happy, so many things making me unhappy. More on the happy side though.

6.9

A lot of things happened today that made me the happiest girl in the world. Only a handful of things made me want to rip out my hair.

So I guess it was a good ass day.

5.9

I guess today was a pretty good day! Newspaper was loooong but it was alright I guess. I have to write an ENTIRE article for homework again. The worst part is, I don't know what I should write about and we have to start from square one a.k.a. SCRATCH. YAY. But anyways, that'll take a small amount of time to type up anyways. Then World Studies (double Abel yay) was SUUUPER chill. We took one page of notes then we watched a video from the History Channel about the French Revolution and we have no homework! Mr. Abel was telling us tons of stories, they were preeeettty ridiculous but soo funny.

Then I had Science, which wasn't bad at all. I got the results of my first test back and they were satisfactory! No homework -  well we have to read and I basically already did. Then Math, we had a test and I finished it in like 20 minutes. Short and easy, and I checked it multiple times so hopefully I get a gooooood grade on it! So basically my only homework is to write an article!

Tomorrow's Thursday which means I don't have to do my homework tomorrow because I have a rotating block schedule. But I probably will anyways. Also, we have a volleyball game for both the varsity boys and girls against the teachers and such YAY! SO EXCITED.

And the first 2012-13 issue of The Beat is being released on Friday! SO SO SO SO excited for that too!!! But I have a Mandarin Speaking Test tomorrow, a Mandarin Writing Test on Monday and a Business test on the 19th. That's gonna be fun considering I don't know anything in Mandarin.
