Author's Not-So-Personal Diary

The Newcast

I'm not really sure if I can share this with you guys but here goes nothing!

Just a disclaimer it's a bit triggering at some point.

So like two months ago my Civics teacher gave a group project (Online class ok?) he said, "In your group, you have to do a newscast. You have to report the news like any reporters in the news channel do.". I was like, "Not again I don't wanna do this. But I guess I don't have a choice but this also gives me a score, a big one to be exact.". So I worked hard to look for important news. I told my mom about it and she was supportive like any mom. She gave me suggestions of the news I should bring up. So, like I used those ideas but I also have to give it to a member which has the same news like me. Let's call her Julie. I gave two ideas from my mom and she was happy and grateful to me. I on the other hand is looking for more news. I found two but they expired because it was only talking about that month's festivals. So mom had to pick, she picked two, one was from Philippines (Which is my home.) the other one was from USA. I used those and started making the report I have to give to my group leader ( I was the assistant leader by the way). After giving the report to my leader and constantly waiting for his reply, mom suggested we record my cast at her work. I agreed then the leader replied that the report is nice and I should start recording. So I prepared my outfit for my cast, I brought 2 black blazers and 2 tops as well. Mom asked me if I should start my recording now. I strongly disagree because I had class to attend and some quizzes to finish. So ok the day went smoothly but roughly at the same time.

The next day, mom said we have to go to her work cuz she had some problems to fix and we could the opportunity to record. So I packed up, and went. The first recordimg was ok though there were sometime that we had to cut and repeat but only a few times. Then here goes *breathes* it was lunch and in a few minutes it was going to be my second to the last class. Mom said I had to stay here and have lunch and class. So I said ok and started setting up my laptop. Mom came in to the room and gave me a plate that had rice and a chicken drumstick she said she's going to leave and reminds me to report what's going on. I said goodbye and attended class. During class, which was boring, I ate my lunch. Then started thinking on which emotions or facial expression i should do while recording. I realize class is almost over and started saying good bye. I texted my mom that I finished class. She said they already arrived. I was like " Did you go somewhere or were you just testing me?" I finished my chicken. Went to the cafeteria and started keeping my laptop.

Mom came in and said let's continue the recording. I was pissed at that point cuz I thought we were done. But I kept my cool. Mom was so excited to go home. So she commanded to pick up the pace. I took a seat and fixed my hair before recording starts. Mom started recording and I started speaking. In the middle of the recording I noticed mom sweating. I realized that the fan was off to prevent unneccesary sounds. I tried talking a bit faster. Miracally I only had 3 cuts. And we finished before sunset. I started editing on the way home. (ʀᴇᴍɪɴᴅᴇʀ: I used my mom's phone just in case you're confused.) We arrived home. Then my phone blasted! It was full of Facebook notifs. I opened it to see a post from my mom and had a pic and vid of me. I pressed the video then it said "Bᴀᴄᴋ ᴛᴏ sᴛᴜᴅɪᴏ" now this was a clip from my newscast. Mom said it was her favorite ppart of the video. I guess that made sense. I texted my leader that I have finished recording and I might be abke to pass it to him in a day or so. He replied and encourage me to finish it as soon as possible. I resumed on editing and imagining how my classmates and teacher will react. Hopimg as well to be one of the excellent students again. Yes, I was excelled in my class.

Now fast forward, I passed my video. The backstory of this video is so ᴀᴍᴀᴢɪɴɢ. 3 Days of editing & mom constantly rechecking and suggesting. I have finally passed and patiently waited for leader's reply. He replied that I am finished and the video is nice. I asked how many members have passed. He said none. I fell on my seats as I see the reply.

"NO ONE PASSED ASIDE FROM ME?!", I exclaimed. Mom busted my room. I told her and she just said, "At least you're finished." I just stood there dumbfounded and irritated. How am I the only one to finish?! I checked again 2 days later. Still nothing. Next day? nothing. I waited and waited to the point it was already February. I asked again. Leader told me Julie already passed. I was still not satisfied. I scolded the team.

Few weeks later, my teacher said to use the time to discuss the newscast with the team. I texted in the group chat and asked again. Before you get all mad at me for being so impatient. I am a "Must-finish-things girl" so I have to finish things immediately. The leader or Bryan replied only Julie and Jasen was passed. I was a bit relieved. I scolded them again. My best friend Vince calmed me down.

"Hannie stop being all hasty l. You are like just because your finished right *\=~\=*" He texted me. I was a bit pissed and explained to him why I am like this.

!Fast Forward! To the viewing of newscasting.

It was March already and I was anxious. Mom was calming me down and saying she is excited for my newscast. Three groups were criticized and corrected by my mom. One was complimented nicely. I was pissed at that though. Then it has come down to my group. Bryan shared his screen to the class and played the video. Few minutes has started and mom said it is getting boring, I agreed with her. There were nine members but one hasn't passed so Bryan was subbed. 4 members were criticized and corrected by my mom but 3 passed a bit of her expectations and then it was my turn to shine. Mom said that my part was her favorite. She said that the way my teacher reacted to my video was astonishingly wide smile. She then notices something wasn't right. I had two videos for newscast and one of my video's clips was cut. I then replied to Bryan angrily but calmly why he cut my video. He said he didn't feel like adding it in. I was ғᴜʀɪᴏᴜs. I let it slide hoping that it might still good. The video ended and I was sobbing quietly in my room. You might feel disgusted or not. But I had put a lot of effort on that thing. And one small thing that will take away all my hard work, believe it or not. I did it for my grades. I came out of my room just in time the teacher said my name.

"Congratulation Hannah Orozco you have an excel grade," he said. Wait that isn't my name! I told him my name and he apologize and thought my name was Hannah. I thanked him for giving me an excel grade. Funny thing is, whenever the teacher decides who has an excel grade he asks for the link of the video and to watch it again. But in our presentation, he immediately said my name. A member of a group asked who excelled in their grade. Mom started laughing saying that William was asking who excelled in their group. I didn't really expect highly their group had the Boasters- and-nosy -classmates after all. But that doesn't mean I thought really highly of my group. We did a good job and no one could really say a bad thing about it.

The day after the presentation, I felt kinda bad. Mom kept on asking how felt about acing the cast. I kinda felt like I was a desperate achiever. I couldn't think straight that day. Until now I felt awful for letting myself know as a desperate achiever.

!The end!

I hope you enjoyed reading this. Thank you for reading and stay safe!

The Origin of Me becoming a Newborn Weeb

Ok, let’s get things STRAIGHT!

We all have someone we like right? Yeah, we do. Like our parents, friends, or maybe crush. But this MAN:

Right here! Is the person that I like! He does not know and doesn't need to because he isn’t real which is disappointing :’). But that doesn’t matter because I will simp for him. I may have a simp for Hayato Kamitani from Gakuen Babysitters and he will always be my first. But Izuku always makes my heart go *BOOM BOOM*. Like every time I see him on the screen fighting with villains and being All Might's successor I’m just like\, “Deku Supremacy”.

BUT THEN! This dude showed up. He just shows all his salty actions then I go all “Shalala Shalala in the morning”. He’s smart, cold, salty, and a damn extinct species which is called a dinosaur. If you ever see me stone cold and look at you and say, “Ara ara na Gomen~” I want you to know… That I am a “Tsukki supremacy” person. Then slap me in the end.

But guess who came into my life… This idiot came into my life uninvited. This 12-year-old just came in and unintentionally said to me on the screen, “Hey I am a kid who’s smart and a trump’s card.” I am just shooketh. I have never seen a 12-year-old character in all of the anime that I have watched. I am just confused about what is going on with my list. I never planned to fall in love with many characters.

My parents who are really against my anime watching are starting to go at its limit. Welp! Guessed who’s forbidden to watch anime until school ends. That’s right, me. I mean they ain’t wrong tho. I have been laughing at the memes and fake convos that are posted on Facebook. Guess who just got their phone and was confiscated again just because of some chats that she has been with her BFF. That’s right, me again. But this one was a bit unreasonable. They took away my phone because I wasn’t cooperating in doing my video in MAPEH. But at the same time, it was reasonable? I don’t know the reason but ok. I got used to it though, just counting the months on when I can get my phone back. So that I can post and make my stories. But sadly, I won’t be able to get my phone anymore. But that’s ok I can make it on my laptop. No biggie.

But it does disappoint me that none of my happiness will be able to go back. Why? (Wait- why am i making this personal- oh well). Because ever since quarantine started my positivity drained. Like it drained. Well To be honest with you all I am the friend and member of the family that spreads happiness and comforts people. But sadly, no one does it to me. If I open with my family, instead of being caring, they’d judge me. If I open up to my friends, I feel like they are thinking that I am a brat or an attention seeker. There are two choices but it always has the darkest side.  That’s like the mindset of everyone, right? I’m not the only one here right? If there is someone who has the same brain cell as me, I’m glad I ain’t alone.

I know what you’ve read in the 5th paragraph was kinda cringe. But let’s get started on the real deal. This is the story of my life as a newborn weeb. Ok I guess, you knew about my current husbandos. But here were my past ones. My first ever anime to watch was “Kiki’s delivery service. My mom suggested that I watch this and that it showed moral and mother nature. So yeah my 9-year-old *** was kinda pissed about it because I didn’t like when mom mentioned “morals”. So I just watched with my heart’s content. At first, it was ok, but then the first 10 mins. I started to like it. Before I watched that I was into the common kids cartoon-like, My little pony, Barbie life in the dreamhouse, etc. But then after I watched the movie I started replaying it over and over again. My mom saw me watching it all over again. I started to ask if there were more movies that I could watch in this genre. Mom offered me the movie called, “Howl’s moving castle” sounded weird right? Yeah, wait until I tell you about the male lead. I was kinda weirded out by the fact the main character suddenly became old. But then I tell you the male lead. Mind. Blown. How did this man come into the main character's life and also own the moving castle?

This is what he looks like:

Now when I tell you that the movies of Studio Ghibli are more based on mother nature. I am serious! If you watch all the movies you will notice it. The view, the place that the characters are living in, the characters themselves, and more importantly the title. Studio Ghibli has the best movies to watch if you are into action or mother nature. If you are more likely into food, Studio Ghibli is one of my best choices.

(HAIKYUU STARTERS)

Now enough about Studio Ghibli.  I started to forget about the fact I actually watched an anime movie when I was 9 but stopped at 10 years old. Then when I turned twelve I started to watch Haikyuu. Ok, I actually discovered Haikyuu when I was scanning for some crime-solving documentary. (Reason? I wanted to know how to hide a body :’) Don't get the wrong idea!) I started watching by myself at first then my nanny joined me to watch it. When we reached the match with Shiratorizawa vs Karasuno. I and my nanny were excited. We watched it non-stop. We screamed so much when they actually won. The bond between me and my nanny was endless. Until she was secretly pregnant and went with her bf.

Well until now I am still watching anime. Lesser actually, cuz to school. But at least I get entertained from time to time.

Hello Everyone. I hope you had fun reading this chapter of mine. Keep in mind I am still a reborn weeb. So I haven't really opened up the greatest ones, yet :)

Anyway thank you for reading and love ya'll :)
