Awkward Greetings and Parenting (#10)
I know what it is like to meet new people; quiet greetings and awkward staring...but who knew four of the best people in my life can do it WORSE!?! My mom and dad have been wanting to meet the friends that I have been hanging out with often after school lately. They suggest laser tag games at Laser Quest. I got Alex, my cousin, Reagan, Andrew, and Arben to come along. Nothing what I expected happened. Just silence, no interaction whatsoever! They are all social, but they were just so awkward, I feel like I should be arrested.
During the actual game, I found out that going to Laser Quest was Andrew, Reagan, and Arben's first visit, nor have they ever heard of that place! However, Reagan and Arben understood the game, but Andrew...if this was a real battle, he would die at the start. Anytime Andrew died, he would just stand there while recharging. He barely shot his gun or ran away, and he thought this would be like paintball. We had to drag him around to move. He ended up getting 31st place with -31 points. In the end, I got FIRST PLACE, and despite the awkwardness, they all had fun.
I now know the troubles of what it is like to be a parent, except this happens at school. Who is the cause of that? REAGAN! He begs me too much to do a favor for him that I can't even try to eat during brunch or lunch! I can't help it, I just have a strong soft side that always makes me say yes! Andrew, if you are reading this, your advice is not a quarter way helping.
Also, try a DEEP FRIED SNICKERS OR DEEP FRIED TWINKIES if any of you ever get the chance!

Food Fight, Sunday Night, Wigs, Gone Missing, and Police (#9)
Thanksgiving: a time when family gets to fight over who gets to have the bigger piece of the turkey...well my family wasn't fighting over the turkey. My sister and her husband had made a casserole and pie from scratch, which is like their own recipe, and they brought it to my uncle's house for the potluck. Since it was from scratch and its a personal recipe, a lot of people wanted to try it. When the night ended, there were leftovers, and people were debating who gets the leftovers. Apparently, my uncle got the leftovers, but the next morning somebody had already ate it. They kept asking who took the leftovers and asking my sister and her husband the recipe.
Sunday Night: THE WALKING DEAD NIGHT!!! As usual, at 9 PM, I tune into my favorite show, The Walking Dead. I am always hoping for the episode to be epic and intense. However, there was worse. After that one scene, I broke down on the couch...UGH! I was crying a river. I have not cried so hard from an episode of The Walking Dead in a while.
Then comes my dear friend, Andrew. In case you forgot who Andrew is...he was the one that nearly got ran over by a car while he fell asleep on the road (totally smart). I made Andrew wear an afro wig and fake eyeglasses for a day and a half, and made him into a person named, Joseph Finnes. I wore the wig earlier in the day, and people thought I was a different person. Really? I am wearing a cape and a poncho, but the wig says I look like a different person? The wig brought up some pretty positive comments, even though some of them might be sarcastic. Now, why did I make Andrew wear a wig? Well, he owes me for nearly calling the police on me; Andrew, Reagan, Ben, Arben, Thomas, and I were playing hide-and-seek, and I was stuck with Ben during one round. My dad suddenly comes to pick me up, and I had to leave because I was in a rush for a swim class. I tried looking for everyone else, but I couldn't find them, so I asked Ben to notify the others. An hour passed and everyone is still looking for me. Obviously, Ben didn't tell anybody! Everybody is spamming me with calls and text messages asking me where I am. I couldn't reply back because I was in swim class. ANDREW NEARLY CALLED THE POLICE UNTIL ANY OF THEM REALIZED MY BACKPACK WAS NOT AT REAGAN'S DOOR! COME ON! I USUALLY LEAVE MY BACKPACK AT THE DOOR AND IT TOOK YOU AN HOUR TO NOTICE! Andrew asks Liam where I would be at the time, and thank goodness Liam knows my schedule, which is kind of creepy and regretful...I didn't call any of them back until the next day because NOBODY WOULD ANSWER THEIR PHONES!!!

Shadows, Peppermint Mochas, and Tagalog (#8)
On Tuesday, I had a shadow at Bellarmine, a Catholic all-boys high school. To be honest, it was kind of fun. Not only did my guide make it interesting, but the irony was a huge facepalm which I could not get over. I visited science, history, religion, and a speech and debate elective, which was very ongoing...However, the curly fries are good. The awkward situation about the shadow tour is that other students thought I was my guide's little BROTHER...I don't blame the "sense of fashion" part, but how we look though...OH C'MON!
Today, I missed a majority of my classes just to count delegates for the Hall of Fame spread in my yearbook elective. I told my teachers that I will be gone for 20 minutes...which ended up being 1 HOUR! I missed a huge load of studying for assessments. I also checked the ballots, with me being a very common delegate...IN 5 CATEGORIES (Funniest, Unique, Internet Sensation, Fashion Sense, and Fanboy)! Is that how people think of me; no offense.
At Starbucks, a very kind woman ordered 4 different coffees, but was accidentally given 4 of the same coffee, Peppermint Mochas. What did she do? Coincidentally, she only took 1, and gave the other 3 to Andrew, Reagan, and I. 5 DRINKS FOR THE PRICE OF $9.10! The Peppermint Mocha could use some sugar since it is kind of bitter at first, but the smell! Ugh, I love that smell (dark chocolate and peppermint...)
I am also learning how to speak Tagalog, which is a Filipino language. Trust me, it's not easy. I have to keep figuring out what Reagan and my parents are saying to me. I thank them for helping me, but they could at least tell me what they are saying after they are speaking Tagalog. I stayed up for one night just to write about 12 pages worth of Tagalog and English translations. Wow, that is pretty die-hard just to learn a new language.
The rest of the day, Reagan, Andrew, Ben, Thomas, Arben, and I just play old-school hide and seek...with Hunger Games style running. It's like your P.E. teacher is watching and forcing you to run like heck. I swear, Andrew is like the freaking Flash or Quicksilver. I feel like nicknaming him "PE Shorts" now...I nearly fainted a couple of times because of him. Andrew, if you are reading this, please save up your money to pay for my medical bills...

Eleven People and Prank Calls (#7)
It has been a LONG weekend! It has been full of hangouts and encounters with ELEVEN people: Andrew, Reagan, Arben, Thomas, Ben, Liam, Ciara, Doug, Lexi, Brandon, and Amanda.
Let's start off with Reagan, Andrew, Arben, Thomas, and Ben. I have financial problems with Reagan already. I let him have money so he can buy food or snacks, and he claims he is going to pay me back. Guess what? He only paid me a simple dollar so far, and that was only on that day! As far as I have heard, Andrew bought Reagan three bagels and Reagan has given him one bagel. WHAT THE HECK!?! Afterwards, I end up sitting on a chair at Kumon, and guess who comes in...Arben, Reagan's devilish little brother...I barely met the guy and he is already taunting and teasing me. That is kind of hypocritical since I creep people out first before I give a hello. I don't even know what Arben talks to me about, except his weird insults towards Reagan and I. The problem with both of them is that they ask me for stuff, and they fight over MY iPad. It's like my parents having a television while living in the Philippines. Neighbors would come to their house to watch their television.
What happens next is that I am doing homework with Reagan, which I actually enjoy. I then discover that Ben, an eighth grade classmate, and Thomas, a sixth grader with a "creative" mind who already teases me during a WEB orientation, are neighbors right across. Are there any more secrets or surprises I should know? The next day after school, Reagan and I are munching at McDonalds and we end up back at his apartment. As we are doing homework, even though it was Friday, Reagan drops his eraser down the balcony. After Reagan goes down and throws his eraser back up, I threw it down again, and I am forced to pick it up. I go down and nearly throw it against Reagan's face. I ask Reagan to tell me Andrew's number because I got bored so why not prank call? It was a pain to get his number but luckily Arben stepped in, even though we framed him.
I call Andrew three times without saying a word. He comes to Reagan's apartment and says that this weird stranger keeps calling him, and all he hears is "a bag of chips." A bag of chips? Are you starving, Andrew or Reagan? I call him a fourth time inside the apartment, and Andrew answers with a hello. I grab my phone out and say "Hello?" His reaction was blank, yet priceless. Then, we just ended the night with The Avengers on my iPad.
On Saturday, I hang out with my good friends, Liam and Ciara. Ciara is a freshman who we call "Mom." She names me "Oops." Before Ciara arrived, I am back at McDonalds with Liam and once again we are bored. So I give Andrew's number to Liam to prank call, but he ends up telling his real name and stands out in front of Andrew's door. I would've done that with a creepy mask, but now? We run into Doug and Lexi, who are waiting for Amanda's arrival. Lexi and I trick Doug into thinking that Liam and Ciara are dating, which causes him to freak out publicly in a CVS. Drama queen much? If they were dating I would be like, "Okay, that's cool. No harm done." We run into Brandon and honestly I think this is a really weird coincidence. I ask him on KIK if he wants to meet up with us and he is just standing there. What sorcery is this? Amanda comes along and, shortly after, she almost gets ran over! She's alive, so okay. Apparently, Amanda and Lexi love kicking groins, especially after Lexi tricked me into giving me $5 if she can kick me without flinching. She doesn't, so she tried to kick me again and I kick her too and we both fell to the ground in pain.
The awkward part is that we all arrive at Andrew's apartment again. We ding-dong ditched at first, then we creeped him out by standing there. It is like we are planning a murder on him. We get to Reagan's apartment, again, and he tags along and we try to go to Doug's apartment. Before that, Andrew nearly could've killed himself. Jokingly, Andrew yells out "I don't wanna live," and lies on the road. Wait until he finds out that an ACTUAL CAR is coming down on our side of the street...
So Saturday was filled with groin-kicking, near-death by cars, creepy standing outside front doors, and Liam's mom swearing at the drivers. What a joy ride...

Fake Blood and "Watch This!" (#6)
So, thanks to Vy, I never got the fake blood back that I let her borrowed for Halloween until yesterday. I opened the bottle and it clogged up with cotton, and I wanted to check if it was stuck inside the bottle. In a dumb move, I flipped the bottle upside-down, and squeezed it. A load of blood splattered on the floor, and splatted on our legs! There is a huge red stain on the ground, and it is so freaking disturbing. The other students keep looking at it like something suspicious happened. At least a staff member hasn't seen it...but the red stain is still on the ground!
I have been watching this foreign movie that has made me cry every single time, called The Love of Siam. I told my friends to watch it, and least the first 95 minutes and the ending, and I warned them to use "tissues." I got 3 of my friends to watch it, who cried or said it was "SOO CUTE!!!" Capri and Krystal are in awe, and Erin is using tissues. It's really hard to believe that you can barely understand what the movie is saying, but makes you cry a lot! Unless you read with the English subtitles, you're going to cry a river!

Halloween and Foreign Movies (#5)
Apparently, Halloween got weirder this year. Around school, I had a huge bucket of candy to pass out around school. Why? It's Halloween, duh! The students were craving for candy like the creatures from Gremlins. They were EVERYWHERE! "GIMME SOME SPACE!" The other problem was the hoggers, who kept taking handfuls from the bucket. One person took 3 or 4 handfuls, and he gave me $5 (which I accepted). In the end, I was left with about 6 Tootsie Rolls. Then, people kept asking me to join them on something for Halloween:
On Saturday, I came across this movie from Thailand, so I had no idea what they were saying! I had to use English subtitles. It's a 3-hour long movie, titled The Love of Siam, about two childhood best friends who grow up and discover that they love each other. It's a gay (not offensive) coming-of-age movie. I watched it 3 times and cried every single time! 9 HOURS WITH OF CRYING! I dragged my friends into watching because it was flawless! And I am still crying as I am writing this blog post!
- Trick-or-Treat with Sanjay and Prasanna
- Trick-or-Treat with Raegan and Andrew
- Trick-or-Treat with Erin, Meg, Kaylie, Max, Regina, and Adrian
- Play Five Nights at Freddy's at Max's house
- Trick-or-Treat with the family

CarnEVIL Dance? Where are the Clowns? (#2)
So my school just had an evil carnival themed dance, and it wasn't very carnival-like; just pumpkins and "help us" road signs. But hey, you know, it was still decent. The food was good, the songs were "jammy," the face paint was awkward.
A lot of weird things happened. I brought a blood capsule, which is like a pill, but you don't swallow it. You put it in your mouth, and bite on it, and fake blood spews out of your mouth. I was so freaking scared to do it because I was going to be afraid of the taste. I asked people in the line waiting for the dance to start to count me down. I put it in my mouth, and it took me about 10 bites for it to pop. The blood tasted HORRIBLE! The texture and taste is like being chocked on MiraLAX! Some people in the line were grossed the hell out, especially the ones that didn't know it was a blood capsule.
When I got into the dance, I put on some extra accessories like an eye patch, and an American flag bandana. I was a Purger from The Purge film franchise. Some people thought it was badass, some people thought it was actually scary, some people thought I was a pirate or Daryl Dixon (I was wearing his vest and walker ear necklace).
I didn't dance much until the end because I had to do some yearbook stuff, like pictures and interviews, but I had nice last 30 minutes...I just danced with "the morning announcements" crew in the end. People got intense with Turn Down for What, Problem, Harlem Shake, and All About that Bass. It was like watching a sexual Halloween pornography because people were doing random limb pops in our faces.
Also, I don't understand 6th graders that much. In the end, a 6th grade friend, who creeps the hell out of me because he looks, acts, and sounds a lot like my cousin, jokingly walked up to me, and said, "I'll give you 50 cents for a lap dance." I asked him, "50 cents won't get you anything," then it went back to him, "50 cents will get you bubble gum."
My dad pointed out that younger kids at the time would dress as "princesses or Power Rangers." Now, it's all "black and morbid." Uh, okay, thanks for that?

Not Dracula or Batman (#1)
Today in school, I was roaming around in circles wearing this big black cape. A lot of people stared at me like I am in a cult, and some people yelled at me "Batman" or "Dracula!" (Yes, I can see you people staring at me.) Other than that, "nice cape!" I am wearing this cape because HALLOWEEN is coming up. Halloween is like my favorite holiday, so don't judge for being overexcited. In the car, my mom parents thought I was showing too much of my identity. I am surprised some people miss the poncho. Don't worry, I still have it! :D
In first period, I do the morning announcements on Thursday. What sucked was that we had to do it two times because of technical problems during the first try. Trust me, it is NOT EASY doing the announcements. I tricked my crew saying we had to do it a third time, and they kind of got pissed.
In third period, my group thought that I was hinting a murder. It was only because I asked one group member, "who would you save first?" I made a scenario for myself, and they think I am going to murder someone? Whatever floats your boat. Then, I got bored so I asked classmates if they had any nail polish. Surprised some of them didn't have any.
Then, I had yearbook, and it is TOUGH work. I entertain myself by telling these 3 girls that they are my moms/daughters/sisters. They just go with it, somehow. It is not as weird as yelling out "I'M PREGNANT" during 6th grade. (I'm a boy, it's not possible)
At lunch/brunch, my friend charged me $20 for a USB, plus a free drawing and a tip. But hey, 32 GB! (Thanks, Brandon) We had an argue...over A DOLLAR. He was like giving me $1 back because he said he was joking about "accepting tips." I was like, "What am I supposed to do with $1?" I don't even know what he is going to do with the money.
In seventh period, the girl who sits in front of me has no clue that I am able to sneak things from her backpack. SHE MUST NEVER KNOW MY TRICKS! Anyways, I managed to sneak 2 beanies and a pencil box. She would notice, but not until half an hour later. "THE RED COATS ARE COMING! THE RED COATS ARE COMING!" These sevies are staring at me like...WHAT!?!
We also had lectures about drugs and bullying, since it was Red Ribbon Week and Anti-Bully Month. To be honest, we always say the same things in these lectures, but they do have a good meaning to it.
There is not much to say because not a lot happened today, but farther into the year...it's just going to be like 7th grade...
Now you better enjoy this post because I just burnt my mouth eating an oven-baked pizza!
In first period, I do the morning announcements on Thursday. What sucked was that we had to do it two times because of technical problems during the first try. Trust me, it is NOT EASY doing the announcements. I tricked my crew saying we had to do it a third time, and they kind of got pissed.
In third period, my group thought that I was hinting a murder. It was only because I asked one group member, "who would you save first?" I made a scenario for myself, and they think I am going to murder someone? Whatever floats your boat. Then, I got bored so I asked classmates if they had any nail polish. Surprised some of them didn't have any.

Welcoming
By the time you are reading this blog post, the blog design may look VERY ugly. I am still in the works of designing it. Anyways, my name is Alfonso Pitco. As you noticed, AJ is posted everywhere as my name. It's just a nickname I stuck with. I am a 14-year-old 8th grader, and I am a huge nerd, or fan, of multiple entertainment industries. From Harry Potter to The Walking Dead, my life is filled with my love for these things. Now why would myself create a blog about my life? Well, I have interesting stories to share from my "strange" days, and I have opinions and you have yours. There isn't much to say in this post, but there are more things coming your way.
