School's been suspended for two days and there's no school on Wednesday, so nowadays with this kind of weather, a book is my best friend (preferably Everyday by David Levithan) I was really looking forward to this week's Linggo ng Wika. On another note, I was chosen for La Moda. Anyways, stay safe, guys!

Sentimental thinking in the rain

Fourteen

I've been on hiatus mode because of my busy schedule, we just had our quarterly exams, and I had to balance that with SC work and edit some articles for the newspaper.

Anyways, I just turned fourteen, and yes, my dad demanded the bakery to write "Beyoncé" on my cake. I didn't do much, I just went out with my best friend, Kitty after De Javu (post soon) and ate with my family. I wanted to go to Bazooka Rocks 2, but it seems like my parents don't trust me enough, oh well. I had a good enough birthday, my batchmates and teachers greeted me, my class even surprised me as I got to the classroom though I didn't eat lunch on my own birthday because I had to do some SC work. Also, my friends got me great presents, a flower crown, a sweater, cupcakes, and tons of letters. Happy Birthday? Pretty happy birthday, indeed.

DeJavu

Sneak Peak for the next post! I've been so busy, I don't even have time to blog anymore. I'm too preoccupied with schoolwork, SC work and club work. One of the perks of being a sports ed has led me to covering DeJaVu, one thing to blog about. On another note, I just turned fourteen. Wopee.

No matter how weird I look in this picture, I will always always always miss playing.

Good things do come to those who wait. The last few weeks have been a drag, but this week was an exception. This week, I found out that I won as batch representative (represeeeent) and I was awarded with third honors. I was also picked as sports editor for our school newspaper. On a another note, I finally got to go out today. So yes, life is good :)

find beauty in the ugliest things

"find beauty in the ugliest things-or situations" a great thing that I've learned from my mom after what happened this week. Anyways, I'm sorry for my non-existent photo editing skills. On another note, half the year has already passed by, woah that was fast.

Eye see you

 I've been inactive for the past two weeks due to school. Meanwhile, please bear with the cliche' eye pictures.

Thoughts: New school year, new me?

Buying school supplies, knowing your sections, wearing your uniform again after ages. Yup, school's starting again. I've got to admit, I'm scared. I'm scared that this year would be different, for the bad.

This time last year, I read my class list. I could only count on my two hands the people I went along with. After 10 months, I can say that I have no problem whatsoever with most of my class. I took my first steps in the high school and the year was pretty great. I did things I never expected to do. I was the batch muse, I was a class officer, I actually reached my goal and made it to the top 10 of my batch. Cool thing was, on the first day, I wrote on the "recognition rites" box: "goal, top 10" and I did make it. I remember every first I did with my class. I remember our tour around the campus, I remember entering our classroom for the first time, and I remember our first homeroom meeting with our adviser Mrs. Saddul. She was more like a mother to us, really. We miss you.

Now, I'm scared that this year's fun wouldn't amount to last year's. I was so happy to be greeted by ALL  of my former classmates as I went to the first day assembly. It was really great, our section was the only section that got together and caught up, we could talk to anybody in the class, that was how united we were. I mean yeah, I'm okay with my classmates and some teachers, but I still feel like something's missing. I don't know if I'll ever feel so welcome. I don't know if I can be the person I was last year all over again. I mean, I can change, right? This year, I want to do much better. I aim to make my parents and Mrs. Saddul proud, I aim to be part of the top five and am possibly thinking of running for batch rep. Problem is, I don't have the nerve and enough trust for myself. I'm scared that if I lose, I won't be an officer either, making me nothing. I'm scared that I'd fail my batch, or I'd be hated by them. I'm scared that I won't be able to meet expectations. I don't know, let's just say that whatever happens this year happens and I must cherish the 204 school days I have left.

BRING IT ON, 8TH GRADE.

Summer 2013

Day-late post.

the truth behind the name (and much more)

For the sake of updating, let me tell you the story behind my name (not that you want to know, but whatever, this is my blog)

My complete name is Nina Linly Dionisio Capulong.

Nina
"This name coincides with the Spanish word niña meaning little girl"
When my dad was courting my mom, instead of love letters, he would send her drawings. I remember one drawing that my dad showed me, it was of a little girl and had many names around it "harper" "nina". My dad knew that my mom was going to have a girl, therefore, they named me Nina meaning "little  girl". Due to this, my parents always tell me "No matter how big you are and how grown up you'll be, you'll always be our little girl. (uyy cheesy)

Linly
Now, this is very interesting.
My dad once had an older sister named Linly. My dad said that I had her eyes and act very much like her. Unfortunately, she died when she was my age. My dad said that he sees her in me. Tita Linly had a talent for writing; I remember my dad saying that she liked to write poems. One particular line that was written on her tombstone was "love is everything we see"

I didn't understand this line at first, then after one too many walks and one too many movies, I realized that love is everything we see and everything we feel. Love is the people around us, the way that they do their best to keep you happy. Love is may also be in our enemies, in our flaws, and how to accept these things. Love is in the air around us, we can;t see it, but we can feel it. Love is everything we see and everything we feel.

I may be too young to be in love and understand this, but thank you, Tita Linly for this message.

Love is loving your name no matter how many people spell it wrong -_-

Why were we in such a rush to grow up?

Cleaned up my room the other day and found loads of old film photos and basically cried my eyes out. Blog post about this soon!

because of a boy

oh look, it's an attempt in poetry.
Note : None of this is based on my life. Unless your name is Dan Howell then no, I am not in love with you.

050413- Digital Photography Convention @ BGC

Originally, my dad, brother and I were supposed to go to Bonifacio Global City to bring my brother to a Nickelodeon kiddie party. However, we stumbled across a Digital Photography convention (serendipity, yes?).

After an hour, we left the party and spent the rest of the day at the convention. There were aspiring Photographers everywhere, tutorials, photo booths and things to take pictures of. I even got a free sensor + lens cleaning! I honestly love it when a day goes unexpectedly well.

Alabang part II

 Appreciation post for my Lolo and his house. Thank you for having us over!!

0427-28 '13 Alabang

What's the best way to spend midsummer? A reunion with some of your old friends! The funny thing is, even if we went our separate ways, we still talked like the good old days.


We decided to have the reunion at my uncle's house in Ayala, Alabang.We started the day out by swimming with my brother and cousins. Then we decided to play truth or dare while catching up and pigging out ( I promise, you never get hungry there) and decided to watch some movies. Finally, at 11 pm, after everyone went home, me and Kate started our "kwentuhan session" because she was the only one allowed to sleep over. Believe it or not, this was my first sleep over!

I don't want to make this post lengthy so, here are pictures to show what happened.

Happy Birthday, Paula Mae Genova Dagsi!!

Let me tell you a story.

One day, a 6 year-old Nina sat in her chair on the very first day of elementary school. She felt a tap on her shoulder, she saw a girl in pigtails and crooked teeth. "Hi, my name's Paula, do you watch Lazy Town?" . And that's how it all began. Fast forward 8 years later, Nina and Paula became the best of friends. They've been by each other's side for 8 whole years and never once have they left each other. Paula coped with Nina's weirdness. She's been there through thick and thin, and when skies were grey, she'd be there for me. She and I told jokes that nobody understood and secrets neither of us would tell. Even if Paula moved away and distance came, it did not become a barrier for our friendship. And in 2 hours, Paula's going to turn 14. So, here it is, happy birthday my bestest friend and my other half!! Hope you have a great day and great years ahead.

Stay Weird, XOXO Mrs. Hutcherson
