Something New
Last Thursday, someone stole my Bible. 
Actually, it’s hunbun’s Bible. I placed it on the table beside mine while I was taking my math long exam, which was extremely hard. Afterwards, it just disappeared. *poof* I looked and looked to no avail. My theory is that one of my classmates must have mistook my Bible as his. *sigh*
Friday the Thirteenth was an okay day for me. 
My math teacher gave us our first free cut, yay! Getting extra hours of sleep always makes me happy. Oh, my sister told me this disturbing news. Apparently, everyone in the Filipino-Chinese community already knows about it. A 12-year old girl from a Catholic all girls’ school got pregnant by her 22-year old boyfriend and neighbor. She came from a divorced family and my mom said that her parents weren’t present enough in her life. Her dad sued the guy and actually landed him in jail. But the girl threatened to commit suicide if the so-called love of her life is kept in prison. *frustration* She is obviously still a little girl and does not understand what she got herself into, what more the huge consequences of her actions. When I was 12, I was blissfully unaware of life’s complications. That just one mistake and your whole life is shattered… She’s now only 3 months away from being a mom. And she’s not even a teen yet! Her pedophile boyfriend did not even had the wits to use protection. How stupid was that? I just hope that the guy has the guts to be responsible for what he did.
Anyway, I had my hair cut today. *hehe* My mom, my boyfriend, and I all went to Bench Fix Salon in Ortigas. Hunbun just got his usual trim. Mom and I had the same treatment. I think it’s called the Deep Restoration Treatment to make your hair smoother, silkier, stronger, and shinier. 
I told the hair stylist to cut just 3 inches from my long long hair, but he chopped off more than 5 inches. Oh well! I think it suits me and made me look younger. The last time I had my hair this short was my freshman year in high school, about 6 years ago. Here’s my new hair style. 
Then my mom treated us to Teriyaki Boy and dropped us off at hunbun’s house. The two of us went to Powerplant, our favorite mall. We watched The Village. Too bad there weren’t any love seats left so we settled for the normal seats. Oh yeah, don’t watch that movie. It’s unbelievably bad, the worst movie of all time. It’s supposed to be some kind of horror thriller flick right? It didn’t even got my heart racing. The plot itself is outright ridiculous. What a total waste of money!

This is the first time I’ve heard of a person having his/her bible stolen.
I hope that person who mistook it will give it back to you.
10-year age difference, and the girl is pregnant? Grabe… It’s totally unbelievable. Where did you get this news? I feel for the girl… I hope she had the presence of mind of telling the guy that no matter how much she loved her, he should’ve waited for her to get ready for it. Or at least they used a contraceptive! I can only imagine how frustrated the girl’s parents are… Grabe.. *shock pa rin*

o_o well i suppose she needed love or something, that’s a disturbing story kind of o_o i think the youngest was probably some girl at 9 years old. And today people know more earlier
I found out at 12 or 13 about everything i didn’t know before.
Hey your hair cut is cute ;D i like it ;3 except i wouldn’t look good with it xD
I didn’t see the village but my brother said it was bad -not sure though.

Pero that’s so sad.. 
The new hair style looks so nice on you :) Oh and the new skin look so adorable! Cute! ^^

I love the new haircut.
Oh my gosh! 12 year old by a 22 year old? That’s really disturbing. I thought that a 10 year old getting impregnated by a 17 year old here was bad enough, but this one seems a whole lot worse. Pregnant pre-teens. It’s disturbing. I hope that her body is developed enough to be able to give birth without any type of complications. I didn’t like the Village either. LOL. I expected so much more. I hope you get your Bible back soon and that it was just a misunderstanding. It would be pretty sad for someone to steal a Bible, of all things. Well, take care!

Whaaaaaat?! 12 year old girl?! Nabuntis ng 22 year old guy?!?! (Kunwari hindi alam) Hehe! Well, that’s a very disturbing news to hear but funny thing is how FAST news in the chinese community travel! Hehe! Anyway, my Bunchie’s new layout is cute, gentle and sweet right?
Hehe! She’s the bestest in making these kse hehe! Anyways again, I warn everyone NOT to watch The Village. It’s a complete waste of money (well, for a few scares let’s say it should be around… P20 per ticket only!) Grr! The hype was so high because of The Sixth Sense that everyone thought that this movie was excellent but in reality, it’s a total RIP OFF! 
I was expecting more from M. Night but I was disappointed twice already (Signs sucked too). So bottom line is that you should just go and watch another movie rather than this one. You have been warned!

No, The Village was NEVER supposed to be a scary movie at all. ;P So if you watched it thinking it was supposed to scare you, of course you’re going to be disappointed. I thought it was quite good, actually. ;P
