Time to Make a Change
I'll be updating this page daily. Thing's about my life and how it's changing, and aside from my creative writing, I am a real teenager and I will be having responsibilities that I don't usually have. Like today, I realized, I only have 3 full semesters left of high school. I am passed halfway through my fall semester as a junior and I'm already looking into college and looking to apply for a job so that I can make my own money. I probably should've gotten a job earlier, but of course I'm just a kid and I look forward to everything being paid for me by my parents. But today's different. I want to be able to show that I can be successful in my classes and in my life ahead. I actually do want to find a job, I actually do want to continue looking for possible colleges that I'd like to go to, and I actually do want to make myself work harder. I don't have volleyball right now or any activities in particular. I figured that I could use this time to really start doing different things because I don't just wanna stay at home and do nothing. I want to make a difference, be the change somewhere and start big and early. Although I didn't take ANY AP classes since I've gone to high school, maybe I'll take some next year as a senior since I won't have my Hector to be here with me. Sigh, he's a senior and he will be gone next year. But wow, he's gonna be SO amazing in college! I think he can be the BEST soccer player ever, because I believe he can be and I know he believes he can be. I wish I was amazing as he was. Well, I'll probably save him for another update day, seeing to it that I could write pages and pages about him and that this update is supposed to only be about today's realizations on reality. But yes, as of today, I will work harder, study harder and be the best I can be (not just in some sport) but really be the best mentally. I want to learn more about myself and the things that I can do. I believe my interest in business all began when Mr. Ragsdale, the adviser of the ODYSSEY Newsmagazine, promoted me to Stand Manager for UGA games. It's all about good customer service and handling the money. And surprisingly I loved it. And so from there, my heart for business grew. (Not just because that's what Hector wants also ;)) Then now I've been looking into colleges that have really good business schools. I remember I told myself that my first job WILL NOT be at a restaurant, but seeing to it that I really LOVE working at the concession stands, it's actually not too bad. So one day, I'd really love to own my own business alongside or independently from Hector. Whichever, but if we both had our own and were both co-owners of eachothers, wow that would be so COOL. But anyways. Now, I have been moved on staff from photographer to a fact checker and web goon. Which means I check the facts in all of the staffs article and over look the WHOLE magazine for errors and mistakes and such. Then, I also get to update our website daily with interesting and cool things I find around the school. I guess I just talk with people. take pictures then write about it. I just know I'm gonna love it. Because when Emma and Ragsdale told me about my staff move today, inside I was beaming but of course I kept my cool on the outside and stayed professional, I hope. Haha. But yes, I think I'm gonna really love website journalism. It just seems like there's so much life to it. Even though it may get stressful, I think I can manage it. I know I can. Business is all on my mind for the future right now so I better learn and get used to it. Well, I think I'm gonna love this Daily Update idea thing also. I've called it "Real Talk" because this page is the reality me. Not much of flowery language here, but just basic real talk. I like it. I got the idea of it on the way home in the car tonight from eating with my mom and dad for her 52nd birthday at Dominick's in Oconee. I thought of it all because she said I wouldn't be able to manage a job, pay for apartment rent and go to college at the same time. Yeah, it offended me all right. So now, I'm taking stand. This Daily Update will remind me of things I said I will do and accomplish. Hopefully, I can keep my word. 9:18 pm.

Oldies
Today is my friend Tucker's birthday and he turned 17. That made me think, crap. Ima be 17 in 17 days! We're getting old. I have known him since 6th grade and I remember in seventh grade turning 13 was a big deal because it meant we were teenagers and we were two years away from being able to drive AND be in high school. Although alot of our middle school group of friends have went in separate directions sort of, we're all still friends when we do get to see eachother and I still remember all of their birthdays. I miss middle school sometimes, and even though high school is nice, I think it's time to be a college person. But while time is still standing still, I'll still try the best to make my last 3 full semesters of HS be worthwhile.11:23 am.

Oh, the things I do. Crazy things really, even though I know the truth to them, I'm still persuaded, thoroughly. I'm sure no one will understand this, no one but God. So, yes, I have come to say that somewhere in my heart, I want to be settled. Settled in goodness and settled with God. I'm a christian, though not a well one, I am one. I believe in Jesus Christ and that He is real and that He created this place we called Earth and everything in it. He made man and made a woman out of a man. Adam and Eve. He commanded Noah to build an ark for his family and for two animals of each species, one female and one male. And even though people thought he was crazy, he did it anyways. The people that stayed on the grounds suffered the floods. It rained for 40 days and 40 nights. Then, Noah sent out a dove to find land and when the dove finally did come back with some green proof, Noah's ark had finally landed on solid rock. God had saved them from the evils of the world and sent a rainbow over the land to promise that he would never destroy the Earth in such a way again. God is the rock. He saves people from despair no matter what they have been through and no matter what they have done. And I believe even if a person had lust in their heart and mind, even if a person committed adultery, even if a person were to steal or even at one point believe in other gods, God will always be merciful and forgive them of their sins. And once they repent and give themselves to the Lord, there sins will be forgotten and their name will forever be in God's book in Heaven. Yes, I believe in God. I don't have to see to believe because I have experienced it before. I don't believe because my parents are Christian. They were once Catholic but that doesn't make me want to be Catholic. I believe because I want to believe, I have faith. I've seen many great things come through my church. I have no doubts in the things that God can do. Christianity is simply and purely the belief in one God, and that God is Jesus Christ, the Son of Man, the Holy Spirit. God is everywhere, he sees everything and everything done. Oh, the crazy things I do, and yet He still loves me so much and He loves you too. 10:37 pm.

A Natural Love for Sports
Okay, so first off, I missed the most EPIC wish of the day, month, year, CENTURY!! Never will it happen again. 11-11-11 at 11:11 pm. Wow, some kid's birthday was probably too epic today, haha. But anyways, today we had the usual Friday night Filipino Fellowship and of course I'm supposed to help with the kids but I mostly just play basketball. So, in all honesty, if I was any taller I probably would have tried out and made the team. Well if I was taller in general it would help A LOT more in all the sports I like to play. But yes, I love playing basketball. I like playing for fun, I love shooting and trying different kind of shots. I also love using a basketball for several other different balls. Like a soccer ball, a volleyball, and of course a basketball. Yep, I super beat this guy one on one, 5 to 3, named Zach today. Again. Mhmm, I even whipped out my CLARKE CENTRAL hoodie to rub it in a little bit more. He's a Cedar guy. SMH. Well, a former Cedar guy because he graduated five years ago. But anyways. If only I was just a bit taller, I'd be out on that court in a heartbeat. Heck, if I knew how to play the piano or even the guitar, I'd want to perform somewhere in a heartbeat. Heckkk, if I had just a little bit more confidence in myself in volleyball, I would made the Georgia Juniors team in a heartbeat. But, this is real talk isn't it? So yeah, just being truthful here so that when my older-self reads this in like 10 years, I can be like, yeah that's true. But anyways, So I missed the most epic wish of the century, I'm NOT tall and I basically suck at volleyball. Greattt. Oh and did I mention I still have some regret about quitting gymnastics. Yeah, stupid fears. They suck. But, life is life, and God has a plan for me, so I'm just gonna go with the flow and accept what has happened to me in my life. So yes, from this point, it's all about His plan. If His plan for me doesn't involve sports, well that's okay, maybe I can one day teach my children to have a love for a sport. And if it doesn't involve playing an instrument and singing to get tips to donate to a cause, then hopefully He has something bigger for me, and I just gotta follow what he says. 11:41 pm.

Boom, Boom, POW!!
And again, oh, the crazy things I do. But oh well. Right now I am home alone, eating popcorn, playing a simulation game on my iTouch in my bed with a stuffy nose. Great. But it's not so bad. I worked the UGA vs. Auburn game today and it was a busy stadium. The ODYSSEY Newsmagazine made $20,635!!!! I have NO idea how I managed all that pera. And that reminds me, being Stand Manager is VERY cool. That's mostly the reason why I decided to take up business. I like managing things and giving good customer service. It would be so nice to have my own business when I'm older. But yeah, I don't really have too much to say tonight except that I love my Mr. BOOMBOOMPOW!!!!!! Hahaha ::) <3 11:31 pm.

My Sweet Hector
Today I realized that by this time next year, I won't have my BESTfriend here with me during my senior year. I'm gonna miss my sweet Hector, he's the whole world to me! I wish I could go ahead and be done with high school and be in college too with him. But oh my gosh he's gonna be SO amazing at college soccer, I just know he will. I believe in him so much! He's gonna be a starting freshman, I just know it. Although I'm gonna miss his handsome face everyday I know that he'll be okay and that he's gonna do just fine, and I'm sure that I'll be okay too. I hope he doesn't forget about me, because I know I'm never going to forget him. He's my other half of my heart and I hope that I'll always be his. When he's gone, I'm not gonna mess up, I'm gonna be sure that when he leaves he can trust me with his whole heart because he deserves that and so much more. He's done so much for me that I could never hurt him him like that. And I never in my life would want to her that boy because he's the greatest boy and greatest BESTFRIEND in the whole world!! I care so much for him and love him to the fullness of my corason. Sigh, I'm gonna feel so lonely without him. But I know that he's gonna make it big because I know him and he always gives it his best. He's always gonna be my sweet Hector. 11:21 pm.

La Di La Di Daaaaa
Well there isn't too much to say about today. Well, I mean this is a daily update thing. Maybe tomorrow there will be something more interesting. Hopefully, otherwise I'ma just end up talking about my sweet Hector again! Which I don't entirely mind because I could go on for hours about this boy. He's so special to my heart! 6:37 pm.

Volleyball, Volleyball, CLUB! First year with the Georgia Juniors
Yes, yes, yes, YES!! The most amazing call came from the BEST stranger in the world!! This coach for the Ga Juniors 17's club team called asking for me (not even on the alternate list) if I was still interested in being on the team! She said that while she was impressed with my tryout, she agonized that I wasn't placed on the team, however she said that once there was an open spot, I was the first person she thought about! And guess what position needed to be filled? MY position, a setter! Man, just yesterday I was telling myself that I wasn't going to play volleyball for my senior year, not because I didn't want to but just personal reasons with the coach. But maybe by playing with a club I can be a better player! Thank you for a Ms. Laura Keefer. Not sure if that's how you spell her name, but oh well! I'm actually pretty excited. Our practices are on Thursdays and Sundays from 7-9 pm. Not too shabby, but maybe a little late, but I guess it's okay. I LOVE VOLLEYBALL and I can't wait to take my shoes, knee pads and all that good stuff back out onto the court. This time, I'm really gonna listen to what my best buddy says to me, that I'm good and that I should believe in myself. I've got it written here so now I just have to apply it. He's always so supportive of me and that's one reason why I love him SO much. I'm gonna be great and do great just for him and mi pamilya. (See Nov 11). 6:48 pm.

Procrastination and Having the BEST Boyfriend Ever!
Well as you can see, I haven't updated in like three days because this week has been totally blah and nothing interesting has really happened. However, today was fun I guess. It was the last UGA home game of the season and we won again Kentucky! The ODYSSEY also made $18,260!! Not too bad. It's our third best game. The two top best games were in the 18,000-21,000 range. But anyways. I have the BEST boyfriend/BESTfriend in the whole entire world! He loves me and he cares about me and he's so sweet with me. ::} He NEVER treats me wrong. I feel as if this relationship will go until forever! That's how much we love each other and that's how much I love him. He truly is my best friend. Other than him buying me things and helping my class out with working at the UGA games, I can see and feel his love when he says sweet things to me, when he's being silly with me, when we can just sit together and rest on each others shoulders holding hands, not saying a word and still feeling our heart's connections. Those moments are moments a girl like me would never want to let go. I truly feel like he loves me to the fullest of his heart. And I believe him when he says that if we were to ever part ways, he would cry. Because I know that if we were to ever part ways, I would cry, Our heart would cry. Because our heart is one. And two hearts that have formed to become one are never meant to split again. He's my soulmate. Our heart is one. 9:03 pm.

So, Real Talk...
I realized that I honestly may not post every single day. Possibly because of laziness, drowsiness, sickness, school issues. Yeah they all fit into one category. Haha, but nah, forreal, I may not post everyday because sometimes I just don't get the time to post something. Not because of most of the things I typed above. Ha, I'm NOT pregnant. But anyways. Yeah, so yesterday was the first 17-2's team practice for Georgia Juniors! Yep, remember I said they gave me a call and said they wanted me to still be a part of the team? Yeahhh, that happened yesterday. It was actually really fun! The coach, Laura Keefer, is sooo much nicer to me and to everyone than my HS coach. I like it, I actually really do. It made me remember why I like volleyball. Haha, but I still may not want to play for my HS team. But maybe that will change later on. Ahhhhh, but I'm SO excited for my first club season! I've never played club but I can already tell that it's gonna be good. The girls on the team are all nice and all have great potential! I'm sure this season is gonna turn out to be a good one. This season Ima make sure I work on everything! I'm gonna work on having a bigger voice on the court, because I know I can, it's just this time there's new people to work with other than just little freshman and sophomores. We're all juniors so it's all gonna be equal. I can't be more excited! I hope I do good, because I wanna show that I am a good setter and that I can play good volleyball. Not just to others, but mostly for myself because I can easily make myself feel down about myself thanks to a certain coach of mine... Ahem. But she's not the coach here so I think that I'll definitely be able to step my game up this club season! 5:10 pm.

Thanksgiving Day
Today is thanksgiving and there are PLENTY to be thankful for. I'm thankful for a loving family who loves me no matter how much of a trouble I am, or no matter how annoying I may be, no matter how much money they complain about spending on me, they say they love me and I'm thankful for that. I even have such a LOVING boyfriend who I know truly loves me and cares for me. He means a lot to me too, and I'll love him and my family until my time comes. They're the best in the world and I wouldn't ever want to have a different life even if one was offered to me. I'm thankful for a Christian-based family because they help me stay in the right place and help me to stay on the better path. I'm thankful for good health, good and edible food, a good home, a working cellphone (even though I complain internally about that one hehe), and just the chance to be able to live in America, the place where opportunity is available and accessible to everyone. When all complaints are done and when you realize all your wants aren't the things you need, you realize you're thankful for everything you have. And that's exactly how I feel. I'm thankful for Edwin Hilario, my dad. I'm thankful for Raquel Hilario, my mommy. I'm thankful for Rawin Hilario, my brother. I'm thankful for Niway Hilario-Montano, my sister (pipper!!!). I'm thankful for Bernardina Hilario, my grandma. I'm also thankful for my close aunts, uncles and cousins. And last pero not least I'm thankful for Hector Martinez, mi novio y amor de mi vida. Happy Thanksgiving to all and God bless! 12:31 pm.

Quick Talk About the Thanksgiving Blues
So, last night, preferably around 11 pm, I wanted to go out with my boyfriend Hector for my first Black Friday. I didn't get to go, so I felt more sad than angry, threw an internal fit and cried because my dad said, of all the times I let you go out with him, now you cry because I didn't let you now? And I mean I understand it was late at night, but Black Friday is a thing lots of teenagers do after Thanksgiving and I just really wanted to have fun that night. Then my dad said, okay if you ask to go anywhere with him this next week you can't. And that's the main reason why I stayed in bed until 4:10 pm because, I don't know, maybe my 17-year-old hormones kicked in...bad. So I was like, well might as well just make the rest of this day terrible. But anyways, I ended up not going because I didn't wanna go without seeing him. So my sister, dad and brother-in-law went instead. I cried in my room til I fell asleep. But yeah, I'm so dumb. Because tomorrow's my birthday and now I feel like I don't deserve anything. Like I got upset at something that I probably didn't have to get upset at or get in trouble for. I just wanted things my way and that was wrong. And I cried A LOT more than I needed to. Which sucks now cuz my eyes are puffy and slightly still swollen. Smh. Now I wasted my whole Friday because I didn't get what I want. So I'm typing this to let my future self know to control herself and that it's not worth it if you try to get your way all the time. But also, maybe it's just cuz your future period is coming, which I believe is partly the reason. But anyways that all. I came downstairs when I knew no one is down here because I don't really want anyone seeing me look terrible. But yeah, there's the last minutes of Thanksgiving for ya. Otherwise, it was a nice night. Ate lots! 4:32 pm.

MY BIRTHDAY!!! I'M 17 (:
Yayyy, today's my birthday! I can't wait to spend later today with my loving family and boyfriend!! Today will be a better day than yesterday I just know it! I'm gonna make it such a special day!! Well this is it for now because I'm gonna go to sleep because they said if I wanted to have Hector over I have to clean part of the house. Sooo, I needa start on my room tonight then sleep! Well happy birthday to me!! More Real Talk for Nov. 26th to come later...12:48 am. (Saturday morning). So okay, I know it's not my birthday anymore, but this is the only time I had to fill this back out, so we'll pretend that 12 am is still November 26th. But anyways, TODAY COULD NOT HAVE BEEN ANYMORE PERFECT!!!! It was so great! I hung out with the people I love most, my family, and my BESTfriend in the whole entire world, HECTOR!!! They all made my 17th birthday so special and the best birthday I've ever had so far!! Nothing could be better than just a relaxed and fun day with the family and your boyfriend. I have to admit, I'm so lucky to have a family who loves me and cares for me as much as they do. They're the best! Today Hector came at around 12:30 pm, we ate at the house. We had some leftover languinisa, fried rice, they had fish, michado and then gulaman. Sarap!! Then we went to downtown where my mom wanted to buy me two nice Vera Bradley bags, one side purse and a make-up/lunch bag. Then me and Hector went to Ben and Jerry's and what's funny is, the lady put like a junk load of ice cream on this itty-bitty cone, thennn while I was paying I gave the lady the rest of the money as a tip and his ice cream fell off. Haha then the even funnier part, with the soccer player he is, his reflex was to try to kick it back up with his shoe. Hahaha! So adorable!! So she let him keep the cone but she put the ice cream in a small cup. Then we headed to Academy Sports afterwards and for some reason everyone was looking for shoes. So, I, just joking around, was like, ooh I want some too! And my dad was like okay! So I ended up getting these neon pink with yellow lace shoes called free-run 2 for some reason. They're SO comfortable! I love them! Then we went to the mall and my mom decided she wanted to buy me a dress and it was a cute dress too! It was only $13!! From $65!! It was nice too, nice and cute, but yet sophisticated and fancy in its own way. Thennn, we ate at Rafferty's where I FINALLY got my Homemade Potato Soup! It was sooo good!! I also got the American Cheeseburger, but this time I got medium well and it was so juicy and tender! I was so amazed for the rest of the night! Then afterwards we had the usual sing happy birthday and we ate my German Chocolate cake from Cecilia's and it was mighty good! Especially with the pistachio ice cream. Then I "opened" all my gifts my parents got me and I (re)-opened Hector's gift to me, which was so sweet because he got me some cute rainbow sandals, a Spider-man class cup from Spencer's (haha) and a cute Hollister cardigan! My first article of clothing from there! Hee. AND OH MY GOSH!!!! My sister and Raul got me a Nikon Coolpix camera!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I was soo happy!! Finally, my own camera! So yes it was the best birthday ever! I received more than I expected and I'm just thankful for everything that was provided for me today. I love my whole family, and also my grandma who got me a sweet card like she does every year with $50 on the inside. Sometimes I just don't realize how blessed I am. 1:07 am. (Sunday morning.)

Honestly, When There's Nothing To Say But Yet You Haven't Wrote Anything For a While...
Hot dang. Honestly, nothing really interesting, or interesting in my life happens too often. That's why for 8 straight blank days are empty. Or also because I got in trouble the day before my birthday and wasn't allowed to hang out with Hector until after Friday. Which still, we couldn't hang out this weekend because I had ODYSSEY stuff and he had a soccer tournament. I don't know, this weekend was just a handful of things.... Yeah, so those dots mean that, "Paola spent at least 4 minutes to stop typing and pluck her eyebrows." Yeah, it actually happened. Buuuut anyways!! I'm boring. I know. Maybe when I'm older I'll read and weep at these, or I'll unbuckle and chuckle at them. Hahaha, I don't know I just needed something that would either rhyme with laugh or chuckle. But anyways. Okay, let me just stop now. Yayy, Christmas is on its way! 10:50 pm.
Click here! This goes to the ODYSSEY Newsmagazine! HA! Super learned how to use html codes! Sweet. 10:55 pm.

Bummed
Ugh. How in the world can I possibly live through the next year starting in May 2012? I don't know if I can do it. Hector's the only real boy or person for that matter, that I've really hung out with and been close with. And now he'll be gone to go to college after this upcoming May. Right now, I'm already lonely because I'm bummed I didn't really get to spend time with him this past week and weekend. And now I can't even truly hangout with him until this week is over. It's Monday evening. May God let it go by fast for me. I'm beginning not to care about my school work now, because it's like I just wanna have a fun for once in like two weeks. I think I'm getting Senioritis. Ugh, well whatever.
Upside to all of this is, I sold my first ad today! Yay, journalism grade will be going up now! Today before 3rd block, it was a 73, then after 3rd it was an 83. Wonder how much it will go up tomorrow? 8:09 pm.
December 22, 2011
Yeah, So Ten Days Later... And It's Almost Christmas!
As you can see it's been ten days later. And it's also three days prior to Christmas! Yay. I'm excited, I really am. However, my parents are gonna be in New York visiting my brother and his girlfriend. I'm glad they get to go and spend time with him. But I don't know, hopefully it won't feel too weird or too sad that they're gonna be gone. They're coming back on the 26th which is cool since maybe they'll bring me back a present! Hehe, well speaking of presents, I don't really mind for them nowadays. If I get them, I get them, if I don't then it's all good, at least there's food. I guess I say that because for the past few years, presents have usually been food, which I don't mind, I mean presents aren't even the true meaning of Christmas. It's about spending time with loved ones and being grateful for what you already have. But of course, it's nice to get a little something every now and then. Which is exactly what happens, so I'm thankful. Christmas is the most beautiful time of the year and I absolutely love it! 25 Days Til Christmas is the best thing to watch on ABC Family. I love all the old Christmas movies and I actually do like watching the new ones trying to live up to the classic 1990s and early 2000s hits. And I definitely love all the decorations in the Downtown area, the different houses with lights and now even people are dressing up their cars for the season. Oh, and don't even FORGET the amazing holiday sales going on! Ahhhh, it's the best time of the year for REAL. 2:18 pm.
December 25, 2011
CHRISTMAS DAY!!!
Yayyy, it's Christmas day! And I think I'm mostly excited for the time that's gonna be spent with family, and time that I may be spending meeting some of Hector's relatives that are in town. I know, I do kind of want to know what kind of presents I'm gonna get. I know it won't be much but it's still gonna be surprising! Hector and me exchanged our gifts yesterday afternoon and he got me five things: a blouse from American Eagle, a sweater from Hollister, a zip-up sweater from Hollister, pink fuzzy socks, and this REALLY CUTE bra from Charlotte Russe! Hehe, naughty, I know, but it's so cute and fits so well. I love it. Right now my parents are in New York. They're visiting my brother and his girlfriend and I guess I'm kind of jealous that they get a New York Christmas this year, but it's okay, I'm glad my brother is able to get a visit from them. I hope they bring me back a little something, hehe. But oh, man. We went to Raul's moms house for Christmas Eve and dang, I ate A LOT. It's not even funny. We had pozole, tostadas, and ORCHATA! I love all of those. It was so good and I was extra full forreal. I think I even peed pozole and orchata. Hahaha! I also had dessert and these treats that Gretchen had made for us. It was all so good and it was one of the best Christmas Eves I've had in a while. But I'm glad I'm home now. I actually love being home because I can dress all comfortable with no make-up on in some sweat pants and a shirt in a nice warm room with a heater on. I feel so blessed so have the privilege to be warm. But yeah, it's just been a great day. I can't wait to see what goes on tomorrow! 3:35 am. (To continue later possibly...)
December 28, 2011
Bubbly
Sooo, I didn't continue later possibly, but it's okay. Christmas happened to be a fun Christmas! I got scarves, a hat that matched a scarf, lots of chocolate, the AfterGlow Xbox 360 game controller from my brother, shampoo, make-up, Garnier face wash, and from Hector, of course, a present from him would consist of two Hollister sweaters, an American Eagle blouse, fuzzy socks and a bra from Charlotte Russe. I feel like I've already said that in my previous post but oh well. Since my parents weren't here, we spent a lot of time at Raul's moms house. We had Christmas Eve there and Christmas evening there. I'm SO happy they made orchata and arroz con leche! It was so good! The pozole with lettuce was the best also. Man, I think I'm gonna love Mexican food more and more each time I eat it. Haha, although I already mentioned a lot of these things, it's nice to go back and highlight the good times. Like today, Hector visited me for about an hour and I'm sooo glad we got to see each other and just hang out together because yesterday consisted of staying at the house on a rainy, boring day. But today's much better because later when my dad gets home, we're gonna go running then after that I'm either gonna go to a birthday party for like four people or go watch Hector in this little tournament game he has with his friend Fredo. I love watching him play soccer. He's the best! I wish I could play soccer like him because then I'm sure we'd be the best power couple there is! Hehe, I'm silly, but forreal, he is the best and I can't wait until we're older and he plays for this BIG team and slide tackles everybody! 4:00 pm.

First Day of School
Yep, today was the first day of school and it went all right. My schedule isn't too bad, I actually think I'm gonna like it. I have Math III with Mrs. Britt, Physics I with Mr. Autry, Journalism with Ragsdale and Video Broadcasting with
Mr. Gibbs. Not to mention that I also have 4th block with Hector, again! And it's nice because it's a fun and relaxing class to be in with him for his last semester here. Mr. Autry is pretty cool. He likes to talk and tell various stories about things that have happened in his life and he also somehow fits in a little bit of Physics every now and then. Haha, just kidding, I'm sure it'll be a good class. It's mostly a bunch of seniors in there. The ones I know most is Jonathan who plays soccer with Hector, Ruba who's the girlfriend of Hector's soccer teammate Joe, Caleb who is the Editor-In-Chief of the ODYSSEY, Jasmine who is friends with Hector I think, Kayli who used to be the features section editor in the ODYSSEY and Kristolyn who went to elementary school with me at Whitehead. Yeah, there are very few juniors and I feel SUPER shy. Especially since Jonathan and this dude named Israel is in there, not because I like them or have a crush on them or anything, it's just that they're good friends with Hector and I forreal don't want to embarrass myself. But I guess it doesn't matter, sorta. Just be myself right? Ha, anyways. I really hope Math III turns out easy just like Hector said it would be because I want to have a high GPA just like the fall semester. I don't want a C or a B, but I want an A and that will be my goal. Yes, the first day consisted of barely any work and just "greeted and meeted" slash learning the rules and all that jazz. Pretty easy. (PS, yesterday was the last day of the break and me and Hector had a GREAT time. Outside was so cold but inside the car was SO warm ;)) 7:38 pm.

Long Time No Talk; Valentine's Day
So obviously, I have not had time to just sit down and work on my creative writing blog. Which means no real talk, which means, let me get you caught up. Since January 3, I have started school, hated it, loved it. I decided that I was going to try out for the soccer team, did the conditioning and ended up making varsity. While playing soccer, I have also had three volleyball tournaments so far with my Georgia Juniors club team. We've lost two as in made fifth place and have placed third. Hector and I are still doing amazing and I am still very in love with him. He's truly my better half and I wouldn't dare want to lose him. We have had our ups and downs, and one week really was down, but we made it through and are still strong in our love for eachother. Oh, also, the girls varsity soccer team has played their second game, which was tonight on valentine's day. And one scrimmage last Thursday. We lost both. (We're not that great at playing well together just yet, but we're gonna get there.) In the meanwhile, varsity boys has play exceptional and it's gonna be such a great season for them this year! And I'm totally excited for their season! (As well as mine, however, I love watching the boys play, especially mi amor.) But yes, today is also valentine's day, the day of LOVE. Hector got me a bear, chocolate, a HUGE (literally gigantic) valentine's day card, roses, and a very cute glass bear that says I love you on it. He's SO very sweet. ::} And as for him, I got him two bears that are stuck together because they're "hugging" eachother, one store-bought card and one homemade card, the sweetheart candies and a naughty little teaser gift of Love Dice. Hehe... Ohhhhh, and how could I forget? He also made me this necklace, in which he has one identical to it. It's nice and simple but yet has such a sweet thought into it. It's a necklace with a piece of lego on it. And when you snap the two legos together, they make a heart and it made my heart feel SO warm inside. It was the sweetest gift ever! So yeah, I believe that's everything for now. It doesn't seem like much, but literally my weeks look like this: Monday, school, soccer practice, get home, homework, eat, abs. Tuesday, school, (as of now) soccer games either away or home so I'll be getting home late, eat, homework, abs. Wednesday, school, practice, straight to youth, home, homework, eat, abs. Thursday, school, soccer practice, straight to volleyball practice until 9, home, homework, eat, abs. Friday, school, (as of now) some soccer games/Filipino fellowship nights/resting at home, eat, abs. Saturday, sometimes it's different, either volleyball tournaments or just relaxing. (Only real day to kind of just have to myself or to have fun.) Sunday, wake up early, go to church, come home, volleyball practice at 7, home, eat, abs. This is my week, then I repeat it ALL. OVER. AGAIN. 11:43 pm.

Agitated
I got in trouble tonight because I came home late from watching the boys soccer game. And I would have came home earlier at 9:30 instead of 10:25 however, I thought I had lost Hector's keys. So I looked for them and I finally found them, in my own bag. The I got home and my mom was mad at me. It all of the sudden got to be like, Paola, something's wrong with you, you don't even know where you put it. You thought you put it in Hector's bag but you put it in your own. Something's wrong with you! First of all, that happens to a lot of people. I was taking pictures and focusing on the game, I knew I had put it in a bag and for some reason I thought it was his because that's where I had put it first earlier. It doesn't mean something is wrong with me, it means my focus was just somewhere else. Then, it came to be like, you can't go and watch the boys game anymore, you're supposed to study! That's when I began to cry because of course I get emotional when it's something about Hector. I said, but it's his last year. And plus, I do my homework, I make sure that I do my homework. And I do! Because first of all, I can't slack because I wanna have good grades, second, I'm juggling two sports, third, my parents expect me to go to youth every Wednesday night and fourth, of course I have soccer practice basically every day of the week. I can't slack. She just frustrates me and is so mean sometimes. I am NOT just gonna miss out on ALL of Hector's games this year because it's his last year. And if that was the case, then I'd rather stop playing soccer and watch him rather than miss any of his games. He's the reason why I did soccer in the first place. I did it to support him all the way. I mean I should at least be able to attend the home games. I mean we don't have games every day so what's the big deal? 11:44 pm.
March 15, 2012
On Spring Break... Yay...
So real talk, I kind of wish I had school and my hectic week that I usually have because Spring Break sucks butt if you don't have anything to do or anyplace to go. I mean it's so great being able to sleep in and eat all you want (if there was anything to eat that is), but I mean, I want adventure, I want to explore, I want to shop, I want to have fun. And that's exactly NOT what I'm getting. The only excitement I've been having all day is watching Burn Notice back-to-back-to-back and so on EVER since I woke up at 10. I mean I have volleyball practice tonight at 7, but I wish I had soccer practice. Because honestly, I don't know, but soccer has really caught my attention. I'm really understanding why it is now the world's most beloved sport. It's an amazing game to play. I've really learned a lot and have gained skills I never thought I could have. But back to reality, I don't have soccer practice, but the boys do and it sucks just being home. This is when I wish I had a car, wish I had just a little bit extra cash to do some fun things or buy some clothes. But hey, that's life. And then what also sucks is that Hector got his phone disconnected along with his brother Alonso because they've been fighting a lot. Yep, so this is for 3 months. And the only way we can text is if he finds a place with Wi-Fi so that he can text through a free texting app. I miss him so much throughout the day. I also get worried sometimes, but I trust that God will always protect him when I'm not around to protect him myself. ::} But yeah, this Friday and Saturday should be a lot better because Hector may be coming with us to Chattanooga! This time, not for a tournament but just for fun and shopping and hanging out. We'll be going to Ruby Falls and Downtown Chattanooga and all that! It's gonna be great! Hector would have to sleep over again and I love when he does because every time he always gets to have bonding time with my family. And that's the best thing in the world to know that the love of your life is loved by your family. Well, that's all I have for now. These Real Talks are getting really spaced out huh? Well, I talk when I can or when there's something interesting to say, or if I have something to vent about or things like that. Bbut anyways, back to Burn Notice ( I wish I was a spy). 3:38 pm.

Such an AMAZING Day!
I can't rant on and on too long tonight! I gotta get rest soon! But today was so great and I just had to Real Talk about it!!!! Well first, my average for this semester so far is an 85. I got an 88 on my PHYSICS test (which means my grade goes up and so does my semester average). I had so much fun in video broadcasting filming Hector's music video! It was such a beautiful day. CLARKE CENTRAL VARSITY GIRLS SOCCER TEAM BEAT MADISON COUNTY 4-2 AND I HAVE TO SAY IT WAS A PRETTY SWEET GAME!! I also defended pretty well. Ahh, I just loved this game in general! Boys also won 7-3! And my baby Hectorrrr played amazing like ALWAYS! Oh and my buddy got hurt ::( but it's all good now, he's okay and not in a serious injury thank goodness! Oh and their keeper Shden blocked THREE penalties. Then I came home, ate steak and now I'm feeling pretty awesome about tomorrow, like I can feel that it's gonna be a great day! 12:03 am. (Technically the 21st but oh well, the 20th was great!)
March 25, 2012
So... We got stopped by a COP...
Yeah, it's true. Today, me and Hector were down in one of the neighborhoods on Kathwood and well, we parked somewhere so that we could hangout and kiss and well I guess we looked suspicious like we were doing something we weren't supposed to do and so this car sneaked up on us and were eyeing us and called 911. We waited a little bit to see if they would go away but they didn't. So we decided to leave and right when we turned out of the road we were on, we saw a cop. Then we turned someplace else so that maybe we wouldn't see like we did anything wrong, which we weren't. But the cop cut us off and stopped us. So the copped questioned us and asked for ID and stuff. And when I didn't have one, he asked me to get out. Then I had to tell him my name and my age (which he didn't believe I was 17 years old) and asked me what we were doing. (Which he didn't let Hector get out the car.) He kept asking and I just said we were hanging out over and over like maybe 5 times. Finally, I was like, okay look, we came here so that we could talk and hangout and we kissed a little but that's it. We weren't having sex, (because he asked me if we were and told me if I knew that if I lied to him I would go to jail) we don't even have condoms, plus besides, I wouldn't let him do that to me anyways. Then he said all right and went to go talk with Hector and surprisingly, we both said similar things. But then, I had to call my dad and the officer talked with him because he had to confirm my age.Long story short with the conversation between my dad and the officer, the officer thought I looked too young and Hector looked older than me and had to make sure I wasn't a juvenile. Then he was surprised when my dad said I was turning 18 this year. And I laughed. But yeah, so the officer let us go and we had to go home. Then, my parents talked with me and Hector and the dangers that could have happened to us. But yeah, that was our day. But OH, before that we ate at Outback Steakhouse and it was really good. 11:06 pm.
April 24, 2012
I know... It's been almost a MONTH! I fail.
I'm sorry, future me. I just haven't had the time to just sit down and talk about life. It's been crazy! Well, I don't know why I'm saying sorry, I mean, you'll just be reading these continuously. Haha, but anyways. Our last team practice was today! :'( I'm pretty sad because soccer truly was the better sport and I couldn't have asked for a better FIRST season then the 2012 season! Also, our last game is tomorrow at Hephzibah Comprehensive High School, I believe it is. Our team only won three games, had a tie and lost 13 games so far, but I have to say, it really wasn't a bad season. It was a great learning experience and I can't wait to get out there and kick some BUTT!! But anyways, I guess I should catch myself up. After getting stopped by a cop, two days after I had to take the Ga HS Grad Test for math and it was actually pretty easy then I remember. Then, on the 31st, we beat Cedar Shoals! However, the boys lost for the first time in four years. My grades have been pretty good, my math one is a decent 89 but I want it higher, my physics is now an 87 which I will get higher, my Odyssey grade is a 90 (probably lower now) and my video broadcasting is an 83, bleh. But anyways, we have exactly three weeks and two days left and I am DETERMINED to raise those grades higher! Let's see what else... I took the ACT on April 14 and it wasn't too bad except for the science and math. Grr, there just wasn't enough time on the clock.OHHHHHH! I got my PROM dress (it's a strapless red, nice and simple) and I got my SHOES (ivory colored with flowered coming down the middle and it is oh so elegant) and I'm gonna have my hair halfway pulled back and halfway CURLED, and oh my accessories, girl remember I had them PEARLS and I know I had a beautiful white flowered corsage from my loving Hector. <3 Ahhh, it hasn't happened yet but I know it's going to be an amazing night! It's gonna be this Friday, April 27! And OMG OMG OMG! My parents bought me a CAMERA! It's called a Canon EOS Rebel T2i and it takes GREAT pictures! I got it yesterday, April 23, and I'm gonna use it to finally take pictures of my darling Hector at his game tomorrow! I'm so excited! Well, it's getting late and I am tired. I guess I only found the time to do this because I'm waiting for my first 122 photos to upload to Facebook. It's currently at 92 and rising. So yes, I'm just gonna explore the news feed now. 12:41 am.
April 27, 2012
....Why am I still up?
Okay, so prom is today, or rather, tonight at 8 pm. It's 4 am. And I'm not asleep. I don't know, I just can't sleep for some reason. I think I'm too lazy to go to sleep. Haha, seems impossible or weird but I think that's the case. Well, I'm gonna be back up again at around 10 or 11, ugh. Wish I had slept more because I'm gonna be coming home late tonight from prom, which I don't mind. But what I might mind is that I'm gonna have to wake up an hour before 8:30 Saturday morning to go run a 5K for the Twiatholon. The Twilight bike ride version of running in Downtown. But yeah, I guess I'll be fine. But man, I wish I was sleeping right now. 4:03 am. "...It's four o'three and I can't sleep. Without you next to me I toss and turn like the sea..."
May 13, 2012
Three more days of school... Why am I dreading it and loving it so much at the same time??
Well, it's is coming to that time of the year where seniors get to just not come to school anymore and get nervous for their most respected catwalk down the aisle to receive their high school diploma. Yay. For me, this means Hector's for college soon like in August. And although we have (hopefully) all summer, I'm pretty sure he might be busy a lot trying to set up for college and stuff. Although I'm happy for him, I am being kind of selfish right now and am thinking, why can't he just blow off his freshman year and become a freshman along side of me when I graduate? Haha, nice little fantasy huh? I wish it could be that way and I wish this was some kind of movie where the guy does something THAT big for his one grade younger girl. But I know it's not and I know that it is for the better. But I'm so proud of him! He got into Georgia Gwinnett College, the college he wanted to go to. Their soccer program is in its building age and I think he would have a real shot to become big there, even though he should ALREADY be big. ::D But yeah, he passed all his classes, and I believe he also has all A's, which is outstanding! So yeah, although I'm really excited for this year to be over with and for summer to start, I wish I had my last year with him and that he could be here with me. I don't know what I would have done without my Bestfriend by my side. But here's to a new summer, to a new school year ahead, and to all the new challenges and goals I have set for myself this year. Here's to class of 2013. 1:19 am.
June 5, 2012
Summer has begun! ...Since like two in a half weeks ago...
So now in my life, summer before my final year of high school is underway. It's fun/ boring at the same time. Highlights will possibly just include soccer and spending time with family and Hector, but maybe I could make it more productive than I anticipate. I guess I have to do that AP Lit Summer Reading work packet and maybe find a short-lived job somehow, but it's like, I just wanna enjoy it without missing a moment I could have with Hector. I wanna savor every moment I get with him because he'll be doing college things fairly soon and soon enough he'll be gone. So I want this summer before my senior year and his freshman year of college to be the best. Between facebooking and TV and sleeping, I am doing soccer workouts every Monday, Tuesday and Friday! It's possibly one of the best outlets ever. Like I've said in previous RT's, I've come to know that soccer is unarguably the best sport in the world! I think I'm done with volleyball on that note, however it was a hard decision not to play my senior year. But maybe during the fall I could play as much soccer as I can, maybe even get that job I am longing to hate (haha) and more likely to focus on my schooling more since I will have 3 APs during whichever semester they decide to put them in. But anyways, getting my mind off summer is kind of hard since I realized that time goes by like lightning if you don't savor it well. So yeah, this is what I'm up to so far in life, Future Paola. Soccer, Hector (husband, yes? Haha), and laziness. 3:12 pm.
Time to Make a Change
I'll be updating this page daily. Thing's about my life and how it's changing, and aside from my creative writing, I am a real teenager and I will be having responsibilities that I don't usually have. Like today, I realized, I only have 3 full semesters left of high school. I am passed halfway through my fall semester as a junior and I'm already looking into college and looking to apply for a job so that I can make my own money. I probably should've gotten a job earlier, but of course I'm just a kid and I look forward to everything being paid for me by my parents. But today's different. I want to be able to show that I can be successful in my classes and in my life ahead. I actually do want to find a job, I actually do want to continue looking for possible colleges that I'd like to go to, and I actually do want to make myself work harder. I don't have volleyball right now or any activities in particular. I figured that I could use this time to really start doing different things because I don't just wanna stay at home and do nothing. I want to make a difference, be the change somewhere and start big and early. Although I didn't take ANY AP classes since I've gone to high school, maybe I'll take some next year as a senior since I won't have my Hector to be here with me. Sigh, he's a senior and he will be gone next year. But wow, he's gonna be SO amazing in college! I think he can be the BEST soccer player ever, because I believe he can be and I know he believes he can be. I wish I was amazing as he was. Well, I'll probably save him for another update day, seeing to it that I could write pages and pages about him and that this update is supposed to only be about today's realizations on reality. But yes, as of today, I will work harder, study harder and be the best I can be (not just in some sport) but really be the best mentally. I want to learn more about myself and the things that I can do. I believe my interest in business all began when Mr. Ragsdale, the adviser of the ODYSSEY Newsmagazine, promoted me to Stand Manager for UGA games. It's all about good customer service and handling the money. And surprisingly I loved it. And so from there, my heart for business grew. (Not just because that's what Hector wants also ;)) Then now I've been looking into colleges that have really good business schools. I remember I told myself that my first job WILL NOT be at a restaurant, but seeing to it that I really LOVE working at the concession stands, it's actually not too bad. So one day, I'd really love to own my own business alongside or independently from Hector. Whichever, but if we both had our own and were both co-owners of eachothers, wow that would be so COOL. But anyways. Now, I have been moved on staff from photographer to a fact checker and web goon. Which means I check the facts in all of the staffs article and over look the WHOLE magazine for errors and mistakes and such. Then, I also get to update our website daily with interesting and cool things I find around the school. I guess I just talk with people. take pictures then write about it. I just know I'm gonna love it. Because when Emma and Ragsdale told me about my staff move today, inside I was beaming but of course I kept my cool on the outside and stayed professional, I hope. Haha. But yes, I think I'm gonna really love website journalism. It just seems like there's so much life to it. Even though it may get stressful, I think I can manage it. I know I can. Business is all on my mind for the future right now so I better learn and get used to it. Well, I think I'm gonna love this Daily Update idea thing also. I've called it "Real Talk" because this page is the reality me. Not much of flowery language here, but just basic real talk. I like it. I got the idea of it on the way home in the car tonight from eating with my mom and dad for her 52nd birthday at Dominick's in Oconee. I thought of it all because she said I wouldn't be able to manage a job, pay for apartment rent and go to college at the same time. Yeah, it offended me all right. So now, I'm taking stand. This Daily Update will remind me of things I said I will do and accomplish. Hopefully, I can keep my word. 9:18 pm.

Oldies
Today is my friend Tucker's birthday and he turned 17. That made me think, crap. Ima be 17 in 17 days! We're getting old. I have known him since 6th grade and I remember in seventh grade turning 13 was a big deal because it meant we were teenagers and we were two years away from being able to drive AND be in high school. Although alot of our middle school group of friends have went in separate directions sort of, we're all still friends when we do get to see eachother and I still remember all of their birthdays. I miss middle school sometimes, and even though high school is nice, I think it's time to be a college person. But while time is still standing still, I'll still try the best to make my last 3 full semesters of HS be worthwhile.11:23 am.
November 10, 2011
Oh, the things I do. Crazy things really, even though I know the truth to them, I'm still persuaded, thoroughly. I'm sure no one will understand this, no one but God. So, yes, I have come to say that somewhere in my heart, I want to be settled. Settled in goodness and settled with God. I'm a christian, though not a well one, I am one. I believe in Jesus Christ and that He is real and that He created this place we called Earth and everything in it. He made man and made a woman out of a man. Adam and Eve. He commanded Noah to build an ark for his family and for two animals of each species, one female and one male. And even though people thought he was crazy, he did it anyways. The people that stayed on the grounds suffered the floods. It rained for 40 days and 40 nights. Then, Noah sent out a dove to find land and when the dove finally did come back with some green proof, Noah's ark had finally landed on solid rock. God had saved them from the evils of the world and sent a rainbow over the land to promise that he would never destroy the Earth in such a way again. God is the rock. He saves people from despair no matter what they have been through and no matter what they have done. And I believe even if a person had lust in their heart and mind, even if a person committed adultery, even if a person were to steal or even at one point believe in other gods, God will always be merciful and forgive them of their sins. And once they repent and give themselves to the Lord, there sins will be forgotten and their name will forever be in God's book in Heaven. Yes, I believe in God. I don't have to see to believe because I have experienced it before. I don't believe because my parents are Christian. They were once Catholic but that doesn't make me want to be Catholic. I believe because I want to believe, I have faith. I've seen many great things come through my church. I have no doubts in the things that God can do. Christianity is simply and purely the belief in one God, and that God is Jesus Christ, the Son of Man, the Holy Spirit. God is everywhere, he sees everything and everything done. Oh, the crazy things I do, and yet He still loves me so much and He loves you too. 10:37 pm.

A Natural Love for Sports
Okay, so first off, I missed the most EPIC wish of the day, month, year, CENTURY!! Never will it happen again. 11-11-11 at 11:11 pm. Wow, some kid's birthday was probably too epic today, haha. But anyways, today we had the usual Friday night Filipino Fellowship and of course I'm supposed to help with the kids but I mostly just play basketball. So, in all honesty, if I was any taller I probably would have tried out and made the team. Well if I was taller in general it would help A LOT more in all the sports I like to play. But yes, I love playing basketball. I like playing for fun, I love shooting and trying different kind of shots. I also love using a basketball for several other different balls. Like a soccer ball, a volleyball, and of course a basketball. Yep, I super beat this guy one on one, 5 to 3, named Zach today. Again. Mhmm, I even whipped out my CLARKE CENTRAL hoodie to rub it in a little bit more. He's a Cedar guy. SMH. Well, a former Cedar guy because he graduated five years ago. But anyways. If only I was just a bit taller, I'd be out on that court in a heartbeat. Heck, if I knew how to play the piano or even the guitar, I'd want to perform somewhere in a heartbeat. Heckkk, if I had just a little bit more confidence in myself in volleyball, I would made the Georgia Juniors team in a heartbeat. But, this is real talk isn't it? So yeah, just being truthful here so that when my older-self reads this in like 10 years, I can be like, yeah that's true. But anyways, So I missed the most epic wish of the century, I'm NOT tall and I basically suck at volleyball. Greattt. Oh and did I mention I still have some regret about quitting gymnastics. Yeah, stupid fears. They suck. But, life is life, and God has a plan for me, so I'm just gonna go with the flow and accept what has happened to me in my life. So yes, from this point, it's all about His plan. If His plan for me doesn't involve sports, well that's okay, maybe I can one day teach my children to have a love for a sport. And if it doesn't involve playing an instrument and singing to get tips to donate to a cause, then hopefully He has something bigger for me, and I just gotta follow what he says. 11:41 pm.
November 12, 2011
Boom, Boom, POW!!
And again, oh, the crazy things I do. But oh well. Right now I am home alone, eating popcorn, playing a simulation game on my iTouch in my bed with a stuffy nose. Great. But it's not so bad. I worked the UGA vs. Auburn game today and it was a busy stadium. The ODYSSEY Newsmagazine made $20,635!!!! I have NO idea how I managed all that pera. And that reminds me, being Stand Manager is VERY cool. That's mostly the reason why I decided to take up business. I like managing things and giving good customer service. It would be so nice to have my own business when I'm older. But yeah, I don't really have too much to say tonight except that I love my Mr. BOOMBOOMPOW!!!!!! Hahaha ::) <3 11:31 pm.

My Sweet Hector
Today I realized that by this time next year, I won't have my BESTfriend here with me during my senior year. I'm gonna miss my sweet Hector, he's the whole world to me! I wish I could go ahead and be done with high school and be in college too with him. But oh my gosh he's gonna be SO amazing at college soccer, I just know he will. I believe in him so much! He's gonna be a starting freshman, I just know it. Although I'm gonna miss his handsome face everyday I know that he'll be okay and that he's gonna do just fine, and I'm sure that I'll be okay too. I hope he doesn't forget about me, because I know I'm never going to forget him. He's my other half of my heart and I hope that I'll always be his. When he's gone, I'm not gonna mess up, I'm gonna be sure that when he leaves he can trust me with his whole heart because he deserves that and so much more. He's done so much for me that I could never hurt him him like that. And I never in my life would want to her that boy because he's the greatest boy and greatest BESTFRIEND in the whole world!! I care so much for him and love him to the fullness of my corason. Sigh, I'm gonna feel so lonely without him. But I know that he's gonna make it big because I know him and he always gives it his best. He's always gonna be my sweet Hector. 11:21 pm.

La Di La Di Daaaaa
Well there isn't too much to say about today. Well, I mean this is a daily update thing. Maybe tomorrow there will be something more interesting. Hopefully, otherwise I'ma just end up talking about my sweet Hector again! Which I don't entirely mind because I could go on for hours about this boy. He's so special to my heart! 6:37 pm.

Volleyball, Volleyball, CLUB! First year with the Georgia Juniors
Yes, yes, yes, YES!! The most amazing call came from the BEST stranger in the world!! This coach for the Ga Juniors 17's club team called asking for me (not even on the alternate list) if I was still interested in being on the team! She said that while she was impressed with my tryout, she agonized that I wasn't placed on the team, however she said that once there was an open spot, I was the first person she thought about! And guess what position needed to be filled? MY position, a setter! Man, just yesterday I was telling myself that I wasn't going to play volleyball for my senior year, not because I didn't want to but just personal reasons with the coach. But maybe by playing with a club I can be a better player! Thank you for a Ms. Laura Keefer. Not sure if that's how you spell her name, but oh well! I'm actually pretty excited. Our practices are on Thursdays and Sundays from 7-9 pm. Not too shabby, but maybe a little late, but I guess it's okay. I LOVE VOLLEYBALL and I can't wait to take my shoes, knee pads and all that good stuff back out onto the court. This time, I'm really gonna listen to what my best buddy says to me, that I'm good and that I should believe in myself. I've got it written here so now I just have to apply it. He's always so supportive of me and that's one reason why I love him SO much. I'm gonna be great and do great just for him and mi pamilya. (See Nov 11). 6:48 pm.

Procrastination and Having the BEST Boyfriend Ever!
Well as you can see, I haven't updated in like three days because this week has been totally blah and nothing interesting has really happened. However, today was fun I guess. It was the last UGA home game of the season and we won again Kentucky! The ODYSSEY also made $18,260!! Not too bad. It's our third best game. The two top best games were in the 18,000-21,000 range. But anyways. I have the BEST boyfriend/BESTfriend in the whole entire world! He loves me and he cares about me and he's so sweet with me. ::} He NEVER treats me wrong. I feel as if this relationship will go until forever! That's how much we love each other and that's how much I love him. He truly is my best friend. Other than him buying me things and helping my class out with working at the UGA games, I can see and feel his love when he says sweet things to me, when he's being silly with me, when we can just sit together and rest on each others shoulders holding hands, not saying a word and still feeling our heart's connections. Those moments are moments a girl like me would never want to let go. I truly feel like he loves me to the fullest of his heart. And I believe him when he says that if we were to ever part ways, he would cry. Because I know that if we were to ever part ways, I would cry, Our heart would cry. Because our heart is one. And two hearts that have formed to become one are never meant to split again. He's my soulmate. Our heart is one. 9:03 pm.

So, Real Talk...
I realized that I honestly may not post every single day. Possibly because of laziness, drowsiness, sickness, school issues. Yeah they all fit into one category. Haha, but nah, forreal, I may not post everyday because sometimes I just don't get the time to post something. Not because of most of the things I typed above. Ha, I'm NOT pregnant. But anyways. Yeah, so yesterday was the first 17-2's team practice for Georgia Juniors! Yep, remember I said they gave me a call and said they wanted me to still be a part of the team? Yeahhh, that happened yesterday. It was actually really fun! The coach, Laura Keefer, is sooo much nicer to me and to everyone than my HS coach. I like it, I actually really do. It made me remember why I like volleyball. Haha, but I still may not want to play for my HS team. But maybe that will change later on. Ahhhhh, but I'm SO excited for my first club season! I've never played club but I can already tell that it's gonna be good. The girls on the team are all nice and all have great potential! I'm sure this season is gonna turn out to be a good one. This season Ima make sure I work on everything! I'm gonna work on having a bigger voice on the court, because I know I can, it's just this time there's new people to work with other than just little freshman and sophomores. We're all juniors so it's all gonna be equal. I can't be more excited! I hope I do good, because I wanna show that I am a good setter and that I can play good volleyball. Not just to others, but mostly for myself because I can easily make myself feel down about myself thanks to a certain coach of mine... Ahem. But she's not the coach here so I think that I'll definitely be able to step my game up this club season! 5:10 pm.

Thanksgiving Day
Today is thanksgiving and there are PLENTY to be thankful for. I'm thankful for a loving family who loves me no matter how much of a trouble I am, or no matter how annoying I may be, no matter how much money they complain about spending on me, they say they love me and I'm thankful for that. I even have such a LOVING boyfriend who I know truly loves me and cares for me. He means a lot to me too, and I'll love him and my family until my time comes. They're the best in the world and I wouldn't ever want to have a different life even if one was offered to me. I'm thankful for a Christian-based family because they help me stay in the right place and help me to stay on the better path. I'm thankful for good health, good and edible food, a good home, a working cellphone (even though I complain internally about that one hehe), and just the chance to be able to live in America, the place where opportunity is available and accessible to everyone. When all complaints are done and when you realize all your wants aren't the things you need, you realize you're thankful for everything you have. And that's exactly how I feel. I'm thankful for Edwin Hilario, my dad. I'm thankful for Raquel Hilario, my mommy. I'm thankful for Rawin Hilario, my brother. I'm thankful for Niway Hilario-Montano, my sister (pipper!!!). I'm thankful for Bernardina Hilario, my grandma. I'm also thankful for my close aunts, uncles and cousins. And last pero not least I'm thankful for Hector Martinez, mi novio y amor de mi vida. Happy Thanksgiving to all and God bless! 12:31 pm.

Quick Talk About the Thanksgiving Blues
So, last night, preferably around 11 pm, I wanted to go out with my boyfriend Hector for my first Black Friday. I didn't get to go, so I felt more sad than angry, threw an internal fit and cried because my dad said, of all the times I let you go out with him, now you cry because I didn't let you now? And I mean I understand it was late at night, but Black Friday is a thing lots of teenagers do after Thanksgiving and I just really wanted to have fun that night. Then my dad said, okay if you ask to go anywhere with him this next week you can't. And that's the main reason why I stayed in bed until 4:10 pm because, I don't know, maybe my 17-year-old hormones kicked in...bad. So I was like, well might as well just make the rest of this day terrible. But anyways, I ended up not going because I didn't wanna go without seeing him. So my sister, dad and brother-in-law went instead. I cried in my room til I fell asleep. But yeah, I'm so dumb. Because tomorrow's my birthday and now I feel like I don't deserve anything. Like I got upset at something that I probably didn't have to get upset at or get in trouble for. I just wanted things my way and that was wrong. And I cried A LOT more than I needed to. Which sucks now cuz my eyes are puffy and slightly still swollen. Smh. Now I wasted my whole Friday because I didn't get what I want. So I'm typing this to let my future self know to control herself and that it's not worth it if you try to get your way all the time. But also, maybe it's just cuz your future period is coming, which I believe is partly the reason. But anyways that all. I came downstairs when I knew no one is down here because I don't really want anyone seeing me look terrible. But yeah, there's the last minutes of Thanksgiving for ya. Otherwise, it was a nice night. Ate lots! 4:32 pm.

MY BIRTHDAY!!! I'M 17 (:
Yayyy, today's my birthday! I can't wait to spend later today with my loving family and boyfriend!! Today will be a better day than yesterday I just know it! I'm gonna make it such a special day!! Well this is it for now because I'm gonna go to sleep because they said if I wanted to have Hector over I have to clean part of the house. Sooo, I needa start on my room tonight then sleep! Well happy birthday to me!! More Real Talk for Nov. 26th to come later...12:48 am. (Saturday morning). So okay, I know it's not my birthday anymore, but this is the only time I had to fill this back out, so we'll pretend that 12 am is still November 26th. But anyways, TODAY COULD NOT HAVE BEEN ANYMORE PERFECT!!!! It was so great! I hung out with the people I love most, my family, and my BESTfriend in the whole entire world, HECTOR!!! They all made my 17th birthday so special and the best birthday I've ever had so far!! Nothing could be better than just a relaxed and fun day with the family and your boyfriend. I have to admit, I'm so lucky to have a family who loves me and cares for me as much as they do. They're the best! Today Hector came at around 12:30 pm, we ate at the house. We had some leftover languinisa, fried rice, they had fish, michado and then gulaman. Sarap!! Then we went to downtown where my mom wanted to buy me two nice Vera Bradley bags, one side purse and a make-up/lunch bag. Then me and Hector went to Ben and Jerry's and what's funny is, the lady put like a junk load of ice cream on this itty-bitty cone, thennn while I was paying I gave the lady the rest of the money as a tip and his ice cream fell off. Haha then the even funnier part, with the soccer player he is, his reflex was to try to kick it back up with his shoe. Hahaha! So adorable!! So she let him keep the cone but she put the ice cream in a small cup. Then we headed to Academy Sports afterwards and for some reason everyone was looking for shoes. So, I, just joking around, was like, ooh I want some too! And my dad was like okay! So I ended up getting these neon pink with yellow lace shoes called free-run 2 for some reason. They're SO comfortable! I love them! Then we went to the mall and my mom decided she wanted to buy me a dress and it was a cute dress too! It was only $13!! From $65!! It was nice too, nice and cute, but yet sophisticated and fancy in its own way. Thennn, we ate at Rafferty's where I FINALLY got my Homemade Potato Soup! It was sooo good!! I also got the American Cheeseburger, but this time I got medium well and it was so juicy and tender! I was so amazed for the rest of the night! Then afterwards we had the usual sing happy birthday and we ate my German Chocolate cake from Cecilia's and it was mighty good! Especially with the pistachio ice cream. Then I "opened" all my gifts my parents got me and I (re)-opened Hector's gift to me, which was so sweet because he got me some cute rainbow sandals, a Spider-man class cup from Spencer's (haha) and a cute Hollister cardigan! My first article of clothing from there! Hee. AND OH MY GOSH!!!! My sister and Raul got me a Nikon Coolpix camera!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I was soo happy!! Finally, my own camera! So yes it was the best birthday ever! I received more than I expected and I'm just thankful for everything that was provided for me today. I love my whole family, and also my grandma who got me a sweet card like she does every year with $50 on the inside. Sometimes I just don't realize how blessed I am. 1:07 am. (Sunday morning.)

Honestly, When There's Nothing To Say But Yet You Haven't Wrote Anything For a While...
Hot dang. Honestly, nothing really interesting, or interesting in my life happens too often. That's why for 8 straight blank days are empty. Or also because I got in trouble the day before my birthday and wasn't allowed to hang out with Hector until after Friday. Which still, we couldn't hang out this weekend because I had ODYSSEY stuff and he had a soccer tournament. I don't know, this weekend was just a handful of things.... Yeah, so those dots mean that, "Paola spent at least 4 minutes to stop typing and pluck her eyebrows." Yeah, it actually happened. Buuuut anyways!! I'm boring. I know. Maybe when I'm older I'll read and weep at these, or I'll unbuckle and chuckle at them. Hahaha, I don't know I just needed something that would either rhyme with laugh or chuckle. But anyways. Okay, let me just stop now. Yayy, Christmas is on its way! 10:50 pm.
Click here! This goes to the ODYSSEY Newsmagazine! HA! Super learned how to use html codes! Sweet. 10:55 pm.

Bummed
Ugh. How in the world can I possibly live through the next year starting in May 2012? I don't know if I can do it. Hector's the only real boy or person for that matter, that I've really hung out with and been close with. And now he'll be gone to go to college after this upcoming May. Right now, I'm already lonely because I'm bummed I didn't really get to spend time with him this past week and weekend. And now I can't even truly hangout with him until this week is over. It's Monday evening. May God let it go by fast for me. I'm beginning not to care about my school work now, because it's like I just wanna have a fun for once in like two weeks. I think I'm getting Senioritis. Ugh, well whatever.
Upside to all of this is, I sold my first ad today! Yay, journalism grade will be going up now! Today before 3rd block, it was a 73, then after 3rd it was an 83. Wonder how much it will go up tomorrow? 8:09 pm.
December 22, 2011
Yeah, So Ten Days Later... And It's Almost Christmas!
As you can see it's been ten days later. And it's also three days prior to Christmas! Yay. I'm excited, I really am. However, my parents are gonna be in New York visiting my brother and his girlfriend. I'm glad they get to go and spend time with him. But I don't know, hopefully it won't feel too weird or too sad that they're gonna be gone. They're coming back on the 26th which is cool since maybe they'll bring me back a present! Hehe, well speaking of presents, I don't really mind for them nowadays. If I get them, I get them, if I don't then it's all good, at least there's food. I guess I say that because for the past few years, presents have usually been food, which I don't mind, I mean presents aren't even the true meaning of Christmas. It's about spending time with loved ones and being grateful for what you already have. But of course, it's nice to get a little something every now and then. Which is exactly what happens, so I'm thankful. Christmas is the most beautiful time of the year and I absolutely love it! 25 Days Til Christmas is the best thing to watch on ABC Family. I love all the old Christmas movies and I actually do like watching the new ones trying to live up to the classic 1990s and early 2000s hits. And I definitely love all the decorations in the Downtown area, the different houses with lights and now even people are dressing up their cars for the season. Oh, and don't even FORGET the amazing holiday sales going on! Ahhhh, it's the best time of the year for REAL. 2:18 pm.
December 25, 2011
CHRISTMAS DAY!!!
Yayyy, it's Christmas day! And I think I'm mostly excited for the time that's gonna be spent with family, and time that I may be spending meeting some of Hector's relatives that are in town. I know, I do kind of want to know what kind of presents I'm gonna get. I know it won't be much but it's still gonna be surprising! Hector and me exchanged our gifts yesterday afternoon and he got me five things: a blouse from American Eagle, a sweater from Hollister, a zip-up sweater from Hollister, pink fuzzy socks, and this REALLY CUTE bra from Charlotte Russe! Hehe, naughty, I know, but it's so cute and fits so well. I love it. Right now my parents are in New York. They're visiting my brother and his girlfriend and I guess I'm kind of jealous that they get a New York Christmas this year, but it's okay, I'm glad my brother is able to get a visit from them. I hope they bring me back a little something, hehe. But oh, man. We went to Raul's moms house for Christmas Eve and dang, I ate A LOT. It's not even funny. We had pozole, tostadas, and ORCHATA! I love all of those. It was so good and I was extra full forreal. I think I even peed pozole and orchata. Hahaha! I also had dessert and these treats that Gretchen had made for us. It was all so good and it was one of the best Christmas Eves I've had in a while. But I'm glad I'm home now. I actually love being home because I can dress all comfortable with no make-up on in some sweat pants and a shirt in a nice warm room with a heater on. I feel so blessed so have the privilege to be warm. But yeah, it's just been a great day. I can't wait to see what goes on tomorrow! 3:35 am. (To continue later possibly...)
December 28, 2011
Bubbly
Sooo, I didn't continue later possibly, but it's okay. Christmas happened to be a fun Christmas! I got scarves, a hat that matched a scarf, lots of chocolate, the AfterGlow Xbox 360 game controller from my brother, shampoo, make-up, Garnier face wash, and from Hector, of course, a present from him would consist of two Hollister sweaters, an American Eagle blouse, fuzzy socks and a bra from Charlotte Russe. I feel like I've already said that in my previous post but oh well. Since my parents weren't here, we spent a lot of time at Raul's moms house. We had Christmas Eve there and Christmas evening there. I'm SO happy they made orchata and arroz con leche! It was so good! The pozole with lettuce was the best also. Man, I think I'm gonna love Mexican food more and more each time I eat it. Haha, although I already mentioned a lot of these things, it's nice to go back and highlight the good times. Like today, Hector visited me for about an hour and I'm sooo glad we got to see each other and just hang out together because yesterday consisted of staying at the house on a rainy, boring day. But today's much better because later when my dad gets home, we're gonna go running then after that I'm either gonna go to a birthday party for like four people or go watch Hector in this little tournament game he has with his friend Fredo. I love watching him play soccer. He's the best! I wish I could play soccer like him because then I'm sure we'd be the best power couple there is! Hehe, I'm silly, but forreal, he is the best and I can't wait until we're older and he plays for this BIG team and slide tackles everybody! 4:00 pm.

First Day of School
Yep, today was the first day of school and it went all right. My schedule isn't too bad, I actually think I'm gonna like it. I have Math III with Mrs. Britt, Physics I with Mr. Autry, Journalism with Ragsdale and Video Broadcasting with
Mr. Gibbs. Not to mention that I also have 4th block with Hector, again! And it's nice because it's a fun and relaxing class to be in with him for his last semester here. Mr. Autry is pretty cool. He likes to talk and tell various stories about things that have happened in his life and he also somehow fits in a little bit of Physics every now and then. Haha, just kidding, I'm sure it'll be a good class. It's mostly a bunch of seniors in there. The ones I know most is Jonathan who plays soccer with Hector, Ruba who's the girlfriend of Hector's soccer teammate Joe, Caleb who is the Editor-In-Chief of the ODYSSEY, Jasmine who is friends with Hector I think, Kayli who used to be the features section editor in the ODYSSEY and Kristolyn who went to elementary school with me at Whitehead. Yeah, there are very few juniors and I feel SUPER shy. Especially since Jonathan and this dude named Israel is in there, not because I like them or have a crush on them or anything, it's just that they're good friends with Hector and I forreal don't want to embarrass myself. But I guess it doesn't matter, sorta. Just be myself right? Ha, anyways. I really hope Math III turns out easy just like Hector said it would be because I want to have a high GPA just like the fall semester. I don't want a C or a B, but I want an A and that will be my goal. Yes, the first day consisted of barely any work and just "greeted and meeted" slash learning the rules and all that jazz. Pretty easy. (PS, yesterday was the last day of the break and me and Hector had a GREAT time. Outside was so cold but inside the car was SO warm ;)) 7:38 pm.

Long Time No Talk; Valentine's Day
So obviously, I have not had time to just sit down and work on my creative writing blog. Which means no real talk, which means, let me get you caught up. Since January 3, I have started school, hated it, loved it. I decided that I was going to try out for the soccer team, did the conditioning and ended up making varsity. While playing soccer, I have also had three volleyball tournaments so far with my Georgia Juniors club team. We've lost two as in made fifth place and have placed third. Hector and I are still doing amazing and I am still very in love with him. He's truly my better half and I wouldn't dare want to lose him. We have had our ups and downs, and one week really was down, but we made it through and are still strong in our love for eachother. Oh, also, the girls varsity soccer team has played their second game, which was tonight on valentine's day. And one scrimmage last Thursday. We lost both. (We're not that great at playing well together just yet, but we're gonna get there.) In the meanwhile, varsity boys has play exceptional and it's gonna be such a great season for them this year! And I'm totally excited for their season! (As well as mine, however, I love watching the boys play, especially mi amor.) But yes, today is also valentine's day, the day of LOVE. Hector got me a bear, chocolate, a HUGE (literally gigantic) valentine's day card, roses, and a very cute glass bear that says I love you on it. He's SO very sweet. ::} And as for him, I got him two bears that are stuck together because they're "hugging" eachother, one store-bought card and one homemade card, the sweetheart candies and a naughty little teaser gift of Love Dice. Hehe... Ohhhhh, and how could I forget? He also made me this necklace, in which he has one identical to it. It's nice and simple but yet has such a sweet thought into it. It's a necklace with a piece of lego on it. And when you snap the two legos together, they make a heart and it made my heart feel SO warm inside. It was the sweetest gift ever! So yeah, I believe that's everything for now. It doesn't seem like much, but literally my weeks look like this: Monday, school, soccer practice, get home, homework, eat, abs. Tuesday, school, (as of now) soccer games either away or home so I'll be getting home late, eat, homework, abs. Wednesday, school, practice, straight to youth, home, homework, eat, abs. Thursday, school, soccer practice, straight to volleyball practice until 9, home, homework, eat, abs. Friday, school, (as of now) some soccer games/Filipino fellowship nights/resting at home, eat, abs. Saturday, sometimes it's different, either volleyball tournaments or just relaxing. (Only real day to kind of just have to myself or to have fun.) Sunday, wake up early, go to church, come home, volleyball practice at 7, home, eat, abs. This is my week, then I repeat it ALL. OVER. AGAIN. 11:43 pm.
February 21, 2012
Agitated
I got in trouble tonight because I came home late from watching the boys soccer game. And I would have came home earlier at 9:30 instead of 10:25 however, I thought I had lost Hector's keys. So I looked for them and I finally found them, in my own bag. The I got home and my mom was mad at me. It all of the sudden got to be like, Paola, something's wrong with you, you don't even know where you put it. You thought you put it in Hector's bag but you put it in your own. Something's wrong with you! First of all, that happens to a lot of people. I was taking pictures and focusing on the game, I knew I had put it in a bag and for some reason I thought it was his because that's where I had put it first earlier. It doesn't mean something is wrong with me, it means my focus was just somewhere else. Then, it came to be like, you can't go and watch the boys game anymore, you're supposed to study! That's when I began to cry because of course I get emotional when it's something about Hector. I said, but it's his last year. And plus, I do my homework, I make sure that I do my homework. And I do! Because first of all, I can't slack because I wanna have good grades, second, I'm juggling two sports, third, my parents expect me to go to youth every Wednesday night and fourth, of course I have soccer practice basically every day of the week. I can't slack. She just frustrates me and is so mean sometimes. I am NOT just gonna miss out on ALL of Hector's games this year because it's his last year. And if that was the case, then I'd rather stop playing soccer and watch him rather than miss any of his games. He's the reason why I did soccer in the first place. I did it to support him all the way. I mean I should at least be able to attend the home games. I mean we don't have games every day so what's the big deal? 11:44 pm.
March 15, 2012
On Spring Break... Yay...
So real talk, I kind of wish I had school and my hectic week that I usually have because Spring Break sucks butt if you don't have anything to do or anyplace to go. I mean it's so great being able to sleep in and eat all you want (if there was anything to eat that is), but I mean, I want adventure, I want to explore, I want to shop, I want to have fun. And that's exactly NOT what I'm getting. The only excitement I've been having all day is watching Burn Notice back-to-back-to-back and so on EVER since I woke up at 10. I mean I have volleyball practice tonight at 7, but I wish I had soccer practice. Because honestly, I don't know, but soccer has really caught my attention. I'm really understanding why it is now the world's most beloved sport. It's an amazing game to play. I've really learned a lot and have gained skills I never thought I could have. But back to reality, I don't have soccer practice, but the boys do and it sucks just being home. This is when I wish I had a car, wish I had just a little bit extra cash to do some fun things or buy some clothes. But hey, that's life. And then what also sucks is that Hector got his phone disconnected along with his brother Alonso because they've been fighting a lot. Yep, so this is for 3 months. And the only way we can text is if he finds a place with Wi-Fi so that he can text through a free texting app. I miss him so much throughout the day. I also get worried sometimes, but I trust that God will always protect him when I'm not around to protect him myself. ::} But yeah, this Friday and Saturday should be a lot better because Hector may be coming with us to Chattanooga! This time, not for a tournament but just for fun and shopping and hanging out. We'll be going to Ruby Falls and Downtown Chattanooga and all that! It's gonna be great! Hector would have to sleep over again and I love when he does because every time he always gets to have bonding time with my family. And that's the best thing in the world to know that the love of your life is loved by your family. Well, that's all I have for now. These Real Talks are getting really spaced out huh? Well, I talk when I can or when there's something interesting to say, or if I have something to vent about or things like that. Bbut anyways, back to Burn Notice ( I wish I was a spy). 3:38 pm.
March 20, 2012
Such an AMAZING Day!
I can't rant on and on too long tonight! I gotta get rest soon! But today was so great and I just had to Real Talk about it!!!! Well first, my average for this semester so far is an 85. I got an 88 on my PHYSICS test (which means my grade goes up and so does my semester average). I had so much fun in video broadcasting filming Hector's music video! It was such a beautiful day. CLARKE CENTRAL VARSITY GIRLS SOCCER TEAM BEAT MADISON COUNTY 4-2 AND I HAVE TO SAY IT WAS A PRETTY SWEET GAME!! I also defended pretty well. Ahh, I just loved this game in general! Boys also won 7-3! And my baby Hectorrrr played amazing like ALWAYS! Oh and my buddy got hurt ::( but it's all good now, he's okay and not in a serious injury thank goodness! Oh and their keeper Shden blocked THREE penalties. Then I came home, ate steak and now I'm feeling pretty awesome about tomorrow, like I can feel that it's gonna be a great day! 12:03 am. (Technically the 21st but oh well, the 20th was great!)
March 25, 2012
So... We got stopped by a COP...
Yeah, it's true. Today, me and Hector were down in one of the neighborhoods on Kathwood and well, we parked somewhere so that we could hangout and kiss and well I guess we looked suspicious like we were doing something we weren't supposed to do and so this car sneaked up on us and were eyeing us and called 911. We waited a little bit to see if they would go away but they didn't. So we decided to leave and right when we turned out of the road we were on, we saw a cop. Then we turned someplace else so that maybe we wouldn't see like we did anything wrong, which we weren't. But the cop cut us off and stopped us. So the copped questioned us and asked for ID and stuff. And when I didn't have one, he asked me to get out. Then I had to tell him my name and my age (which he didn't believe I was 17 years old) and asked me what we were doing. (Which he didn't let Hector get out the car.) He kept asking and I just said we were hanging out over and over like maybe 5 times. Finally, I was like, okay look, we came here so that we could talk and hangout and we kissed a little but that's it. We weren't having sex, (because he asked me if we were and told me if I knew that if I lied to him I would go to jail) we don't even have condoms, plus besides, I wouldn't let him do that to me anyways. Then he said all right and went to go talk with Hector and surprisingly, we both said similar things. But then, I had to call my dad and the officer talked with him because he had to confirm my age.Long story short with the conversation between my dad and the officer, the officer thought I looked too young and Hector looked older than me and had to make sure I wasn't a juvenile. Then he was surprised when my dad said I was turning 18 this year. And I laughed. But yeah, so the officer let us go and we had to go home. Then, my parents talked with me and Hector and the dangers that could have happened to us. But yeah, that was our day. But OH, before that we ate at Outback Steakhouse and it was really good. 11:06 pm.

I know... It's been almost a MONTH! I fail.
I'm sorry, future me. I just haven't had the time to just sit down and talk about life. It's been crazy! Well, I don't know why I'm saying sorry, I mean, you'll just be reading these continuously. Haha, but anyways. Our last team practice was today! :'( I'm pretty sad because soccer truly was the better sport and I couldn't have asked for a better FIRST season then the 2012 season! Also, our last game is tomorrow at Hephzibah Comprehensive High School, I believe it is. Our team only won three games, had a tie and lost 13 games so far, but I have to say, it really wasn't a bad season. It was a great learning experience and I can't wait to get out there and kick some BUTT!! But anyways, I guess I should catch myself up. After getting stopped by a cop, two days after I had to take the Ga HS Grad Test for math and it was actually pretty easy then I remember. Then, on the 31st, we beat Cedar Shoals! However, the boys lost for the first time in four years. My grades have been pretty good, my math one is a decent 89 but I want it higher, my physics is now an 87 which I will get higher, my Odyssey grade is a 90 (probably lower now) and my video broadcasting is an 83, bleh. But anyways, we have exactly three weeks and two days left and I am DETERMINED to raise those grades higher! Let's see what else... I took the ACT on April 14 and it wasn't too bad except for the science and math. Grr, there just wasn't enough time on the clock.OHHHHHH! I got my PROM dress (it's a strapless red, nice and simple) and I got my SHOES (ivory colored with flowered coming down the middle and it is oh so elegant) and I'm gonna have my hair halfway pulled back and halfway CURLED, and oh my accessories, girl remember I had them PEARLS and I know I had a beautiful white flowered corsage from my loving Hector. <3 Ahhh, it hasn't happened yet but I know it's going to be an amazing night! It's gonna be this Friday, April 27! And OMG OMG OMG! My parents bought me a CAMERA! It's called a Canon EOS Rebel T2i and it takes GREAT pictures! I got it yesterday, April 23, and I'm gonna use it to finally take pictures of my darling Hector at his game tomorrow! I'm so excited! Well, it's getting late and I am tired. I guess I only found the time to do this because I'm waiting for my first 122 photos to upload to Facebook. It's currently at 92 and rising. So yes, I'm just gonna explore the news feed now. 12:41 am.

....Why am I still up?
Okay, so prom is today, or rather, tonight at 8 pm. It's 4 am. And I'm not asleep. I don't know, I just can't sleep for some reason. I think I'm too lazy to go to sleep. Haha, seems impossible or weird but I think that's the case. Well, I'm gonna be back up again at around 10 or 11, ugh. Wish I had slept more because I'm gonna be coming home late tonight from prom, which I don't mind. But what I might mind is that I'm gonna have to wake up an hour before 8:30 Saturday morning to go run a 5K for the Twiatholon. The Twilight bike ride version of running in Downtown. But yeah, I guess I'll be fine. But man, I wish I was sleeping right now. 4:03 am. "...It's four o'three and I can't sleep. Without you next to me I toss and turn like the sea..."

Three more days of school... Why am I dreading it and loving it so much at the same time??
Well, it's is coming to that time of the year where seniors get to just not come to school anymore and get nervous for their most respected catwalk down the aisle to receive their high school diploma. Yay. For me, this means Hector's for college soon like in August. And although we have (hopefully) all summer, I'm pretty sure he might be busy a lot trying to set up for college and stuff. Although I'm happy for him, I am being kind of selfish right now and am thinking, why can't he just blow off his freshman year and become a freshman along side of me when I graduate? Haha, nice little fantasy huh? I wish it could be that way and I wish this was some kind of movie where the guy does something THAT big for his one grade younger girl. But I know it's not and I know that it is for the better. But I'm so proud of him! He got into Georgia Gwinnett College, the college he wanted to go to. Their soccer program is in its building age and I think he would have a real shot to become big there, even though he should ALREADY be big. ::D But yeah, he passed all his classes, and I believe he also has all A's, which is outstanding! So yeah, although I'm really excited for this year to be over with and for summer to start, I wish I had my last year with him and that he could be here with me. I don't know what I would have done without my Bestfriend by my side. But here's to a new summer, to a new school year ahead, and to all the new challenges and goals I have set for myself this year. Here's to class of 2013. 1:19 am.

Summer has begun! ...Since like two in a half weeks ago...
So now in my life, summer before my final year of high school is underway. It's fun/ boring at the same time. Highlights will possibly just include soccer and spending time with family and Hector, but maybe I could make it more productive than I anticipate. I guess I have to do that AP Lit Summer Reading work packet and maybe find a short-lived job somehow, but it's like, I just wanna enjoy it without missing a moment I could have with Hector. I wanna savor every moment I get with him because he'll be doing college things fairly soon and soon enough he'll be gone. So I want this summer before my senior year and his freshman year of college to be the best. Between facebooking and TV and sleeping, I am doing soccer workouts every Monday, Tuesday and Friday! It's possibly one of the best outlets ever. Like I've said in previous RT's, I've come to know that soccer is unarguably the best sport in the world! I think I'm done with volleyball on that note, however it was a hard decision not to play my senior year. But maybe during the fall I could play as much soccer as I can, maybe even get that job I am longing to hate (haha) and more likely to focus on my schooling more since I will have 3 APs during whichever semester they decide to put them in. But anyways, getting my mind off summer is kind of hard since I realized that time goes by like lightning if you don't savor it well. So yeah, this is what I'm up to so far in life, Future Paola. Soccer, Hector (husband, yes? Haha), and laziness. 3:12 pm.
