Scripps National Spelling Bee
Wah. I am so depressed. Ha! She lost... I can't believe she lost! :'(
Okay. So I'm over reacting. But I still can't over the fact that this pretty Canadian lost to a stinking girl from New Jersey (Sabi ng brother ko dapat kampi daw ako dun sa taga-New Jersey, kaya lang mas maganda yung taga-Canada eh. Can't help it. :D) in the Scripps National Spelling Bee. Yep. It was a spelling bee. And the word, goodness me, was so (well, not really)
easy. It was
WELTSCHMERZ. Really. Even I got that right. (And I'm serious.) How could she have mispelled it? *sigh*
My mom said I just wanted her to win coz she's pretty. So what? I think she has the right to be both pretty
and smart. *sigh* My only consolation is that at least she won 1st runner up. But I just hate the fact that she didn't win.
Lahat ng manok ko natatalo. Si Chris Daughtry. Si Finola Hackett. Sino ang susunoooooooooooooooood?!Anyway, I really got a bang out of watching the competition. I didn't grow up on things like those. Sure, I grew up on watching math and science quiz bees, but there's nothing like watching kids spell their hearts out. :D And I tried spelling their words, mehn, I'd lose like on the first round.
Those kids are terrific spellers!NTS: Must get a life. Can't believe I'm having fun watching people
spell. As if there isn't anything else more exciting. *insert sarcasm here*
--------------Gaby. That person! Okay. I thought... it was somebody else... Hm. UPM eh? Good for him. What course though? (PS Love the baldy comment. :D Really made me smile. :D)

Randoms things about me
I'm Kitten :)
I get a year older every 17th of August. I am a Leo, and I carry all traits associated with that zodiac.
Right now, I'm twenty years old and I'm loving it. They say we're only as young as we feel. I feel like I'm five.
I would never leave the house without my Zen and my E2. The latter connects me to the world; the former takes me away from it.
If I were to choose a word to describe my life, that word would be
crazy.
I am in love with the stars. I am in love with the rain.
I am a Rutgers University student, and I want to graduate with an English degree. An English-Psych double major would be nice. An English-TCert would be even better.
I want to be a teacher. I want to be writer. I want to be both.
I thrive on indie and emo. Mae, The Spill Canvas, Copeland and Daphne Loves Derby - these are the guys that I listen to. I listen to other bands here and there, but mostly those are the bands I follow. That being said, I'm a mainstream moron.
There's no feeling more lovely than being carried away. People don't usually think of me as somebody spontaneous, but I like being swept away as much as the next girl.
I fall in love easily, but it is really hard for me to fall out. Really hard.
I am very fragile.
I am tolerant of almost everything except one thing: intolerance.
I am an extensive reader. I thirst only for meaning, nothing else.
I love my friends <3
I am extremely spiritual but not religious.
Things I want to do in my life time
Get a job.- Save up enough money to go back home -
wherever that is if I ever had one before I'm 40.
- Write a book.
- Sing for a Disney movie.
- Buy a house on top of a hill.
- Go bunjee jumping.
Travel halfway around the world.- See Italy.
Find the one person who makes my heart beat faster and slower at the same time.Draw and paint.Learn how to play Sudoku.- Volunteer for American/Philippine Red Cross or UNHCR.
Quit smoking.
