Philippines won, baby! We are the champions! Philippine teams have been pretty lucky these years. I mean, the whole Miss International thing, Hip-Hop Championship, Manny Pacquiao, Jed Madela & this!! Wow!!

The game yesterday was really awesome! It was 5-13 racks. Amazing, eh? And I think the best thing was, the Philippines was against U.S.A... U.S.A!! Strickland wasn't very happy. He was just really annoyed. He was covering his ears when the audience cheered. Hahaha!! I thought it was hilarious. Morris seemed cool with it. I mean, y'know.. he showed sportsmanship. He stayed in the room which showed respect. Strickland just went out. Oh, well.. It's done now. He can't do nothin' 'bout it anymore.

It has been a week! Lotsa things have happened this week.. I just didn't have time. I was either really tired, doing chores or out somewhere. Ok.. where shall I start?

Ok, 21st, went to Aunty Jade's to celebrate Uncle Bong's birthday. Y'know, the usual.. food & karaoke. 22nd.. off to Aunty Tess'. It was a 'lil sleepover. There were 10 of us. And yes, I was the oldest. I always am! We played jackstones, watched a film then, ate.. again and again..AND again! Hehehe!! I do have some photos.. BUT, I can't find my USB cable at the mo. But, as soon as I find it, I'll post 'em here ASAP. Anyways, the next day, nothing. On the 24th, went to Newport to watch the party poker thingy. I saw Efren 'Bata' Reyes & Francisco 'Django' Bustamante! It was amazing! They were against Malaysia. The score was 9-5 to us. Yiii!! Then, we went to Uncle Junnie's to eat 'coz we arrived in Swansea, like, midnight.. and I was really hungry!! We played Bingo. It was fun.. I was the caller. I liked it. =D Then, yesterday, off to Newport again to watch Team Philippines..for the Quarter Finals. They were against Czech Republic. They won.. 9-6 this time. But, they nearly lost. I was worried.. it was heart-pounding, I guess. As Bata would describe himself, they were lucky, maybe!

Clockwise from top left: Django Bustamante signing autographs; Bata Reyes doin' the same; Earl Strickland; Steve Davis & Daryl Peach (England); Uncle Roy, my dad & Rodney Morris (U.S.A.); my dad, Earl Strickland (U.S.A.) & Uncle Chris.

It was Efren 'Bata' Reyes' birthday, too! So, the Filipinos sang 'Happy Birthday To You'. Hehehe!! Today, is the finals. I'm not sure if we're goin', though.

Yesterday--19th..Nikki's birthday. Where else do we go? Of course, THE Pizza Hut! It's always been pzza hut. =) 'Twas fun!! Me & Cat shared..we had a feast for 2. I was super full! The dessert didn't help, too. It was way too sweet for me. It was a chocolate sundae.. summin' like that. I didn't take much piccies 'coz there wasn't really much to take and my batteries were low. So..not a lot..but, at least there still are some.

It was a 'lil surprise for Nikki. Her boyfriend, Jack.. had all the invited peeps to go and meet at the Grand Theater. Then, we'd hide there until Jack & Nikki arrive. I popped out first.. and she was really surprised. She cried. Sweet. It was nice of Jack to think of that. Anywho, while waitin' for the go signal, we took a photo of me, Meme, Mary & Cat.

I look unbelievably crap! It was cold.. (yeah, blame the weather! Hahaha!! ). Then, off to Pizza Hut we went.

The birthday girl surely looked pretty in pink. Her hair was really cute. I loved the pink fake hair!! Gorgeous! She's reading my card.. see it? Hehehe!! She thought it was cute. Jack thought it was weird.. 'coz it was of a 'lil boy's face. Hahaha!! That was the only card I saw, to be honest. I still thought it was nice 'coz it was different. I gave her a necklace, btw. I got to eat pizza with my fave toppings--- mushrooms & pineapple chunks! Yum! Yum! Yum! The dessert was just not for me.

=MAH MILKSHAKE SHOOS ALL THE BOYS OFF THE YARD, BABY!= It was just sickeningly sweet. So, I didn't finish it. I only ate a tad.. I didn't get to the bottom.

It was a pretty good night. Oh! I brokeone of Nikki's card. Hehehe!! I kinda pulled a 'lil springy thing on it. Blah! Hard to explain. Me & Nikki looked like characters from Power Rangers. I was Trini & she was Kimberly with our pink & yellow ensemble.

After Pizza..went to Nikki's for a sleepover. Me & katie went..'coz we live soo near, anyways. Yeah, I watched White Chicks..played with Oscar (Nik's puppy)..while Katie & Nix played Nintendogs. Hahaha!! I tried playin' it. It's cute! =)

That's really about it. Off to Byen's casa later. Jam's party.

It has been a long time, eh??

Lotsa things to put down.

First, my singing.. on the 13th. Wow! It was bad! I really sucked ass. My voice was really shaky, my lyrics were messed up & my dad's guitar playin' went kinda wrong. My, my, my.. but, it is kinda like a signature. I mean, I usually mess my lyrics up & my voice gets all shaky everytime I sing anyways.. so, it wasn't new. Hahaha! Look at meeeee..

I was only an intermission for the SINING KAMBAYOKA DANCERS. They were awesome!! They're cultural dancers from Mindanao State University in Marawi. They were really great!! There were two parts of the show. The first one were different Filipino-Muslim dances..then, the second one was called BROKEN DREAMS. It's kinda like an interpretative (..is that right? hehehe!! ) dance about war, discrimination & poverty.. y'know, things goin' on in the Philippines..especially in Mindanao. I got to meet up with some of the dancers and I even bought a set of Manobo accessories. They're really cute. They're made of yellow & black beads.. Cy (who was the seller..) said that it had something to do with being near the river. That's why they're yellow. Summin' like that. I talked to them for a while.. had some pics taken in my phone, though.. then, exchanged e-adds.

....................................................................................................................................... After that, we went to Auntie Mervyn's house for her bday celebration. I got to meet Badet and Jon, again. Jon's got hair now!! Hahaha!! It looked good on him. I teased him all thru the celebration for havin' hair. Badet.. still pretty as ever. Anywho, it was fun. We went home at about midnight. We had fun! I ate jelly.. I think that was the only thing I ate. Then, I had my first taste of vodka watermelon.. I think that's its name. It was red. Hahaha!! Here are some piccies:

Me, Kan & Badet. In case you're wondering what my sister is eating, it's beef with coconut milk, I think.. & mushrooms.

Me & Byen.. playin' wit the camera. =)

Byen can really do UGLY.

Gian, Byen & my baby boy, Zean. They're all cuties.. but, Byen (above piccie) can't really do my copyrighted move. No one does it better than me!!! Mwahahahahaha!! This next piccie is of one of my fave couples.. Des & John.

My godson, Jepoy. What a cutie, ehh??

Boyet in da hauuuz!

..and the hottest bebot!!

.......................................................................................................................................

Then, off to Aunty Angie's place for her bday celebration.. It was a joint celebration with Aunty Elsie. It was ok...the normal. I ate. That's for sure! Went to the playground with baby Kiki.

Hahaha!! I look like a mom. That boy, btw, is Gian.. Kiki's bro.

P.S.

Another piccie from Auntie Mervs's bday party.

Those are the cute accessories I got from the dancer. Pretty, right?

The shower party was ok.

Auntie Cy's gonna have a baby boy.. in October, I think.

They held some fun games. Me & Alyssa won one. I got a Winnie the Pooh pen & pencil case. I gave the pencil case away & kept the pen, instead.

The batteries for my camera ran out.. so, I wasn't able to take much piccies. I got about 2. I'll put it here, laterz.

It's cold.

I'm supposed to go to Alton Towers today.. but, unfortunately with my parents' changed desicion.. I'm not anymore.

Oh,well..

Hehehe!!

.......................................................................................................................................

Went to Arwin's & Irwin's birthday yesterday.

We bought them like a little blue alligator see-saw. Really cute! They enjoyed it! But, still.. I couldn't distinguish who Irwin was & who Arwin was.. they're sooo identical. It's amazing! It was Fred's birthday yesterday, too. But, we didn't see him. We bought him a baseball cap, though. We just have to meet him to be able to give it to him. My sister had her face painted..an orange butterfly. It looked really pretty! =)

I'll post the pics later 'coz I am sooo freakin' lazy to do it now.

Off to the Evarrete's baby shower tommorow. I dunno what to wear. I just knew now. Oh,well.. We'll see.

Oh! The Filipino All-Stars Hiphop Dance Grou has once again, bagged the 1st place award for the World Hiphop Championship Competition in America. Wow! They won before in Italy. They were the only Asian group..AND they won.. & now, they're world champions!! Incredible! Soooooooo proud to be PINOY, indeed.

Aren't they awesome?

I still haven't practiced for my performance on the 13th. I don't even have a song yet! I have to prepare now. I'm thinking..JACK JOHNSON. He's got cool songs. I like 'em. =)

AUGUST 8TH, 2006. A day that I'll surely remember.

A day that I'll hate to forget.

I won't say why, though.

Tomorrow marks my sister's, my dad's and mine's `arriving in the UK` 4th year anniversary. Gosh! It has been a very crazy 4 years, indeed. Lots of happiness.. and wow! heaps of downfalls, too.

Should we celebrate? I dunno.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, IVY CLAIRE TAO!

I went to Cardiff yesterday. Bored!..at first. It really was boring. I guess 'coz I had no one to talk to. Everyone that was there were either a toddler or a grown-up. So, I was kinda alone.. In case you're wonderin'..why not talk to my sister? 'coz she didn't come with me & my mom. But, it was great to meet both auntie Shadee & uncle Oscar + their cute 'lil baby, Justin. Uncle Oscar is still crazy! So, that's good!

...................................................................................................................................

Then, off to..I dunno where it was.. but, still in Cardiff. We took some pictures with the peeps. There was this really cool..uhmm.. I don't even know what it's called. It's like a really huge, tall thing & water is like, falling down on it... really cool. After that, we went to the bowling alley with a mini arcade, too. I didn't go bowl. Only the daddies did. Me & Gian went to play.. I think it's called AIR HOCKEY.. or summin' like that. Y'know, those slidey things and you try to shoot this flat solid thing.. blah. I'll shut up now. ..and talk again. Then, we went to this really addictive gambling thing. Hahaha!! Fun & addictive. I won 20p for my first shot.. then, nothing else after that..& did I say it was addictive? Oh! I won that air hockey game, by the way. 7-3. I was gooooood!!..real good!! Anyone for a game?

....................................................................................................................................

Today, went to Port Talbot. Ate. That was it. Oh! & bought the Final Destination trilogy.. or as they say, THRILL-OGY.
