Another generic day at school, oh well. =.= I'm tired. ::yawns::

But in other news, I got complimented today in English. Yay! I wrote the best essay all year...which isn't saying too much because it was still a "B", but I'm happy. So that's enough. =)

In other news, my piano teacher has been hospitalized for the past two weeks. T_T I'm sad.

HAPPY 18TH BIRTHDAY, ANAYUFAN!!!

Let's make this short and sweet because my dad wants me to go driving. XD

HAPPY CHINESE LUNAR NEW YEAR, EVERYONE!!

aka Gong hai fatt choy (I don't know how to spell it >.< How sad is that?)

Too bad I'm not celebrating it with my family until February 4th because I guess my relatives are busy this weekend. ::mopes:: We always celebrate it a week later. It loses its spirit. Besides, I don't get to excited because I usually only receive about $40 dollars each year anyway. My chinese family isn't very giving, plus, it's not that big. Oh well. More reasons to party with the family. Woot!! And all the free oranges one can eat. Yum.

And I'm a little sad right now because the DVD of Witch Hunter Robin that I borrowed from the library, too, isn't working. Someone scratched it so bad in one spot that I can only squeeze a good 4-5 minutes top out of the first episode on my laptop. That's it. T_T Stupid people who can't take care of DVD's.

And don't forget: I posted Michelle's Cotillion pictures here. =) Enjoy.

Borrowed The Cat Returns from the library yesterday. From the high recommendations of Serra, I was excited. Also...it's a Studio Ghibli production. ^_^

The movie was really cute. ♥ I got a few laughs as well. The voice cast (I watched it in English first >.<) is a good line up. A really good line up. Anne Hathaway was the big one that I recognized. And Andy Richter, Cary Elwes, Peter Boyle, and Elliott Gould do a wonderful job as well. I didn't recognize the others until I watched the Special Features and they interviewed the actors. One of the guys is from Everybody Love Raymond. =)

The plot itself: Lovable. I definitely want to watch it again. The main character, Haru, reminds me of me at the beginning of the movie. Waking up late, skipping breakfast, ignoring the alarm clock, trying to look nice but then just saying "whatever", admiring the the good-looking guys from far away...ahem. ^^;; Anyways...it's relate-able. Check. Next...the cats talk. ::pause for effect:: So yeah, a little weird. (Kind of adds a Fruits Basket / Disney feel right?) The cats also walk on their back legs like humans. o.O Did I mention a talking crow named Toto? Haha. Perhaps an Alice in Wonderland kind of thing going on. Yeah.

I liked it better than Spirited Away basing it on the fact that I understood it more than Spirited Away which was just plain confusing. @_@ And the Baron: very cool. And the Prince: Cool, too, but not as cool as the Baron. XD

So yeah...I really liked it. It makes me want to watch more of the Studio Ghibli collection. I own Princess Mononoke and Spirited Away. Plus, I have seen Howl's Moving Castle and now this. But there's so many~! T_T Oh well. Perhaps by the time I'm 50, I will have seen most of them. That's my goal. XD Not college, not work, not a house...just watching all of the Studio Ghibli films. XDDDD (I'm being sarcastic by the way. ^.^)

Don't mind me...I just got approximately 16cc's of blood drawn from my right arm this morning. So a little...loony in the mind. XD It's not a lot of blood I guess, but yeah. It's just been a weird morning. I had a weird dream, too. All I remember, though, is driving around this huge building with large suites and I remember being jealous and wanting to live there. Then, there was a gigantic gift box. I opened it along with someone else (I don't remember who though) and there were Sailor Moon dolls and miscellaneous stuff as well inside. I told my friend that I already had Sailor Uranus and Sailor Chibi Moon, so she could have them. But I really wanted the Sailor Neptune doll. That's about all I remember.

Yeah...strange and random. The Sailor Moon thing I understand because before I logged off the internet last night to watch The Cat Returns I was watching an episode of Live Action Sailor Moon on Google video. XD Extremely cheesy, but cute. Sailor Venus or Aiko Minako was really pretty. That's all I remember. XD And apparently in this version, Sailor Venus is really the Moon Princess (she had a crown and moon crescent on her forehead and everything). ::Shrugs:: It was only one episode and I couldn't find anymore. ::mopes:: The cats, Artemis and Luna, are represented literally by not real cats but animated stuffed animals. XDDD It's hilarious. ^^

After getting my blood drawn this morning, my mom and I went searching for this Filipino bakery for fresh pan de sal. Yum. Took us half an hour, but we finally found it. It was connected to this wonderful Filipino supermarket called Island Pacific Supermarket. It's just like Lyon's except...well...Filipino. XD I want to go back there. It smelled so good (they were barbecuing outside) and everything was so Filipino. It was really cool. =) I want to go back there, too. More food. We also bought pan de ube still warm from the oven. So good.

Man...I really want Sushi Lovers again. But they're closed until April...perhaps even May since construction is never on time. T_T Green tea...miso soup...garden salad...sushi~! Wah.

**Update**
I have finally posted the pictures on my camera from Michelle's cotillion. You can find them here: my photobucket account. There's 45 pictures, but I originally took 72 plus one video (no sound). Most of them were of people's backs so yeah...oh well. And the candles and roses, I had to lighten them in photoshop. Not the best...so sue me. XD [Actually don't, I'm broke...]. The best pictures are at the end. ^_^ The post-dancing group photos.

[edit] Jaymee's pics here and Michelle/Myrelle's pics here [/edit]

Wrote this entry last night. ^_^

It's 11:19pm right now...and I just got home. XD I still have a buzz from all of the excitement and nervousness. It's over, and I'm sad. I may not be able to hang out with all of those people in one room again. Wah! Have another cotillion Michelle! Without the $10,000 expenses. Haha.

So, let's start from the beginning. Which would be like Friday, actually.

FRIDAY:
After cotillion practice at Michelle's house, we went to Fresh Choice (most of us) for dinner. The guys went to pick up their tuxes while the girls reserved tables. There were about fifteen of us. XD Myrelle and I were slowly picking apart our salads because we didn't want to finish eating by the time the guys arrived. But...so hungry. T_T The food's way better that way anyway. We stayed there until they closed at 9. I didn't know how to use the ice cream machine. >.< I was pumping it up and down, until Vinny told me to just hold it. His mad ice cream shop skills. Oh yeah. ^_^ Others hung out for a while after dinner, but I had to go home. ::mumble:: But everyone was nice. They waited for my dad to slowly come pick me up. Henry volunteered to hold my calculus "brick". The end. =)

SATURDAY:
Woke up late. I was supposed to be up at 6:30 to shower and leave the house around 6:50 to meet Annie at the hair place at 7:15. BUT, I didn't get into the shower until 6:50. T_T I was twenty minutes late. Luckily, the lady was still working on Annie's hair, so they didn't have to wait for me. Yay! Annie and my head contain SO MUCH hairspray that you could probably light a bonfire. O.O She probably used a whole can of hairspray, just on our heads alone. =.= She was fast though. We were out of that place by 8. And then Annie's mom bought us food at a Vietnamese pastry shop. I thought I was going to faint because there was nothing in my stomach. X_X

We were supposed to be at Michelle's at 9:00. We got to her house at 8:45. Haha. Early birds...so we ate...made a mess of her kitchen by laying our bags everywhere, before getting ready and putting on the dresses. I couldn't zip up the back. >.< It wasn't only me though. Anna Marie couldn't either. HAH! ^_^

The guys looked all spiffy in their tuxes. =) This stuff makes me even more giddy for prom...::sniff:: so far away. T_T

The photographer and the videographer finally arrived and we piled in people's cars to go to Stanford for pictures. It was freezing!! Henry's car is so cool. We leave early and arrive at our destination before everyone else. ^_^ Booyah! "You've been Punk'd!!" (court inside joke XD) Anyways, the photographer is so funny and not on purpose either. He's kind of fobby so instead of asking for our attention or for us to say cheese he says, "'ellow!! 'ellow!!" Haha. In this insane Vietnamese accent. It took all of us off balance, so for the rest of the day, it's been a running joke. ::sniggers:: But it was scary. Some random guy (Annie and I called them Japanese tourists XDD and their first time in California and seeing a "wedding party" at Stanford) was not only taking pictures of us, but following us and taking MANY pictures of us as we walked around Stanford wearing nothing but evening gowns with spaghetti straps and shawls (for the girls) and tuxes (for the guys, duh). ::Shivers:: A lot of people did really cute poses though. I hope the photographer develops them quickly before we all go to college or I'll personally track him down. Grr...

We piled back into our respective cars and headed to the hotel (which has the smallest ballroom in the world, might I add =.=;). Henry wins again! Yay! Everyone else took the slow way. Muwahaha! Blah blah blah...we practice some more, help carry stuff to the hotel room for changing, and took more pictures at the hotel. The hotel has the nicest pool because there's like a lake/river right next to it and a fountain thing. ^^ I was afraid that I was going to fall into the pool though. So I just held onto Dean's arm...a lot. XD "Hello!" Haha. Some more cute pictures by the pool. Then we did more individual ones (except not because they're in pairs), but he wanted us to stand in the grass. I stepped in a hole and sank right in with my heels. ::cries:: My shoes and dress got muddy...::sniff:: Then the videographer made Michelle carefully walk in the mud to stand and sit on rocks near the edge of the lake. In her nice white dress, might I add. Our photographer's crazy!! @_@

I try to get the mud off my shoes (Myrelle got mud on her shoes too) in the bathroom, we take more pictures, and the party starts. ::excited::

Pictures, the waltz (I was afraid that I was going to slip and fall), Justine sings "For Good" from Wicked and makes Michelle cry (aww), Michael (Michelle's cousin) sings a song with a guitar that he wrote for her. We eat. Yum. Ryan apparently had the best of both worlds (he had chicken and beef, but said that he got stuff from "land and sea" haha). Henry, Justine, Annie, and Ryan dance Tinikling. It was so cool. (despite the many times I saw it...the outfits add a cool effect heehee). The candles and roses present. There's a slideshow. Michael made a better video/slideshow than the professionals did although both were cute. Loved the pictures, Michelle. Cake was presented. The girls changed into their cha cha dresses. Danced the cha cha, which was fun and I miss too. Final thank you's from Michelle, and then dance, dance, dance. ^_^ "Since u Been Gone"!!! Alvin's the best DJ in the world~~!! The dancing was so much. And so many people are such good dancers. =) Lukas did backhandsprings and Vinny did his spins.

We ditched the rest of the dance around 7 and ran around the hotel taking/posing in pictures. ^_^ I want them from people...Myrelle...(Jaymee too). I'll find you Myrelle. =.= Haha. They're really cute. I'll post them. Don't fret. I just need to enhance them, edit them, and resize them. But I'll post them, and track the other people down. Especially those pictures we took in the bathroom...and the elevator. ^.^

More awesome pics in the hotel room...then we went back to Michelle's house for the after party. We ate cake. Henry taught Vinny how to Tinikling. We danced. Michelle opened gifts. $1280. OMG!! We said our goodbyes. ::sniff:: (It was fun seeing Ashley and Ashleigh again) and then we piled into Henry's awesome car. Well, we didn't pile until Michelle's dad finally gave Myrelle, Annie, and me our stuff in the trunk. And...until Myrelle and I found the button to open Henry's trunk. And then another 5 minutes to open the trunk because I couldn't lift it. XD

Altogether, Michelle was definitely the life of the party. ^_^ She looked so pretty too. Aw. I hope she had an awesome time, because the cotillion went very smoothly. Even though it was raining this morning, it cleared up. Love you Michelle!! ::hugs::

---------------

Wah! I'm sad. It's over. It's like we were all princes and princesses for one night, partying and being camera whores. And now I have to write my English essay and finish my Calculus homework (which I don't understand), and do all the other "insignificant homework". ::mopes:: Everything will be back to normal, and I'll miss everyone terribly. That's life I guess.

The worst part of all this: I completely messed up my ankle now. Well, it was already abrazoned (word choice) [all red and irritated because of my old flats], and then while dancing after the cotillion, it brushed up so much against the new flats that it started bleeding. T_T And I forgot to bring a bandaid amidst the chaos of this morning. >.< I like my new flats though. They don't hurt like the last ones even though my heels slip out now. Oh well.

I'm obsessed with Henry's car now. I want his car. GPS system, heated seats, spacious trunk, Toyota, cd changer...everything. Mom...dad... Haha.

Time to sleep. Night everyone.

Big day tomorrow. I'm excited and scared. ^^;

My only comment for today was that Henry gives the best balloons. Haha. It was HUGE. O.O

I stuffed myself on sugar today. =P I'm going to get fat...::cries:: Haha. But hanging out with everyone on such an important day, was fun. For once, everyone was there. I'm really going to miss everyone. ::sniff::

HAPPY 18TH BIRTHDAY, MICHELLE!!!

MidoriChi found feather(s) @ 10:33 p.m.!

Haha. Spanish wasn't too bad. I was a little afraid because of the Spanish oral that I refused to do and then changed my mind and ended up doing it during lunch. >.< The burrito didn't let me buy a burrito, even a minute after they blow the horn. T_T It wasn't too bad. Senora didn't yell at me or anything, so hopefully I didn't fail. Thanks everyone for the help. ::hugs:: ♥ Oh! And since presentations took all period, the quiz got moved to Friday. Oh well. Haha.

I don't want to talk about the Physics quiz/test. =.= But Econ went, um, swell. Haha. We took a pretty decent chapter test followed up by an entrepreneur video, which allowed me more time to prepare for my Spanish oral. =P We should watch videos more often. XD

After school felt like a Friday. No one was around, and I didn't have any homework to crazy worry about since everything got postponed until Monday or Tuesday. And I was going to Michelle's house around 3:30, so, very much like a laid back Friday. I got my "lunch" aka a bagel and cream cheese with Lawrence, Fern, and Chris. [Hallelujah to Michelle's parents for feeding me!!] Then Malav came around as I was finishing up said bagel, and he volunteered to teach Lawrence how to drive. XDD

So everyone except for Chris piled into Malav's car. I figured it would be safer to be in the car with Lawrence rather than out of it. I don't fancy on being squished. >.< When Lawrence drives, he reminds me...of well... me. Haha Except I think he's better. He has had more practice. =.= But if was fun. Maybe Malav should teach lil' people to drive. XD But most of it was him yelling at Lawrence: "More gas! Stop being careful! Pause! Break! Slowly! More gas! Honk at them! No!" XDD So much fun. Lawrence didn't hit a single car either. YAY!

My ankles are all messed up. T_T I'm asking my mom to see if we can exchange my new size 7 flats to size 7 1/2 because they're constantly poking at my heels. ::whimpers::

I'm buying Michelle balloon's tomorrow. Shh! =)

MidoriChi found feather(s) @ 07:27 p.m.!

Things are lifting up a little this week. My English essay and my Calculus quiz got postponed until next week, which just makes next week crappy. >.< Ick. But it works a little better, since I'll have a bit more time to studying and write a better essay.

But I'm so pissed. OKcounter revamped their site, and I've been using their site counters for three years. Since everything's all new, they don't recognize my account and now all my archived pages are all messed up and I can't edit them. T_T I lost my account information on that site, so basically, I'm pissed. And they're trying to tell me something, but everything's in friggin' Korean. I can't read Korean. =.= Anyone know how to fix my little problem?

Ick. On top of all of this stupid stuff, yo tengo un dolor de la cabeza. >.< (translation: I have a headache...and it's massive). My shoulder's ache too. Ew.

No more ranting...must go do my homework, and study. -.-;;

MidoriChi found feather(s) @ 05:56 p.m.!

This will be a terrible week. >.< I've got three tests/quizzes on Thursday. A Spanish oral due Thursday. An English essay due Friday. And I pray that the Calculus quiz isn't until Tuesday, or else...I'm dead. X.X Too busy. And amidst all this, I've got practices. Oh well. Hopefully the chaos will die down. >.< Oh please...

My neighborhood doesn't feel so safe anymore. T_T Someone's been trying to steal my dad's car, and apparently a couple weeks ago, someone attempted to break into a Mercedes down the street and broke the lock, so now the owner can't get into the car. My dad installed an alarm yesterday. So I hope they leave us alone. A few years back, someone stole my mom's beloved hawaiian plant that took forever to grow. She was so pissed. O.O

I'm having birthday cake withdrawals. Haha.

My new flats hurt so much. But I must break them in. T.T

I finally got my Jack Johnson and Wicked soundtrack cd's today. ^_^ Wicked sounds so good. I really want to fly to New York just to go see it. Oh well. And the Jack Johnson cd is so messed up, that none of my cd players can play it. I finally got it to work on this really old one by skipping the first two tracks.

I had to be at school at seven o'clock this morning. Wah! My dad had a seminar so yeah. I just sat around, listening to my mp3 player, attempting to do my Calculus homework. Grr...so sleepy~!

The mouse trap car race today was a bad turn out. Who would have went anyway, right after a three day weekend. No one's going to remember. =P Our car died. It moved one inch and then BLam accidentally broke the string. I didn't care too much anyway. It's the milk carton boat race that's more fun. Besides, I "know" how to make one for Physics class later. KP sent me on a secret mission. Haha.

Everyone's sick. =.= I have to fight it. I will not get sick before Saturday. ::sits in a corner, chanting::

I was thinking. If I don't get my license in time, maybe I'll just get a government issued ID so I can at least get a check book or a credit card...or SOMETHING!! O.O haha. I'm so lazy.

Gilmore Girls tonight. Yay!

At the end of cotillion practice today, we were sitting out in her backyard and heard this car horn and literally one second later, BOOM! o.O;; So everyone rushed out of her house to see what happened. XDD We're so mean. Haha.

Anyways, Ryan, the choreographer, wasn't here today, and they wanted to practice Tinikling, but no one else knows how to clap the sticks right? So I idiotically volunteered just because I wanted to help and stuff (also because I was bored). I crushed my thumb like 6 times. It hurts sooo much, now. T_T ::cradles her thumb::....I want retribution though, because I couldn't hold the sticks (my hands are too small) so they kept falling out and then Henry would accidentally get hit...and then my thumb would get smashed...etc...etc... T_T

I finally finished all of One Tree Hill season 1 last night. XD It was so cute at the end. Now I want season 2. Ankit...::glares::

My thumb hurts...

Got to go do my massive amount of homework now. (English essay, lots of Calculus hw, Spanish questions) ::whimpers::

MidoriChi found feather(s) @ 02:09 p.m.!

[edit] I have officially submitted all of my college applications as of 10 minutes ago!! ^_^ ::fireworks:: Yay, procrastinator me!! Now...the midyear reports and scholarships...damn. T_T [/edit]

So yeah. Had cotillion practice again yesterday from 2:30 to 5:00. ^_^ It was cool. We got free egg rolls. Muwahahaha!! Lukas saw them practicing tinikling for the first time ever and he was so awed that he couldn't stop saying "wow". Haha. Yeah...it's awesome. =)

But it's so scary when the dance gets faster and Justine and Henry start stepping on the sticks and stuff starts falling everywhere and they get clamped by the sticks and....aaah! I wince.

Afterward, I rushed over to Serra's party. Heehee...::evil grin:: My second birthday party this weekend. =) As we drove by I could see the HUGE A$$ bonfire they made. Haha.

Then Kertus and Ed's present was opened. It was a huge cardboard box filled with lots and lots of paper. Haha. They had to tip it over, and Serra had to crawl in there looking for two small little wrapped green monkey plushies. It was funny. ^_^

Then Serra's mom gave the boys permission to put the whole box in the fire. I heard the fire shot up right when they added the cardboard box. O.O

Afterwards, presents (where GundaManaic so sweetly asked Serra to prom. Awww....) and really rich chocolate cake with vanilla ice cream. Luffy and I shared a piece and anayufan played some more piano. I had fun learning how to play Rummy(sp?) with Serra and Luffy...of course winning was fun too. Haha. #^.^#

Then we invaded the boy's room and started playing Soul Caliber. The best part was when Luffy kicked butt with button mashing. Haha. Oh and when Alex and I got a double K.O.. O.O It was so cool! Both of us went flying at the last second because he shot me with his little fiery arrow and I poked him with my big stick thing. Haha. So cool.

I want anayufan's mom to crochet me a hat, now. XD It's so warm too...^^;; That's it. I love squeezing in some quality time with anayufan.

And this morning...I had the strangest dream. But now....I don't remember any of it. T_T All I remember was that it was really cool. XD;; If only I could remember it. =.=

So Friday, the 13th, was very eventful for me. =)

Although the morning started out kind of slow with studying during first period and World Religions (which I spent the majority of it drawing/doodling haha). You can tell when I doodle, too, because my left hand is completely smeared with ink, all over. Not just in one spot, which happens when I write a lot pen... Anyways...English was confusing because there were more August Wilson presentations and I got really confused. @_@ But now we may have another movie night for Mr. C's AP English class featuring the movie version of The Piano Lesson. So I'm excited. But first...must write my essay, and this time, I CANNOT procrastinate. T_T

Lunch was interesting. Too many meetings, so KP and I ditched rage cage and went to the International Club. Senora gave a five minute speech about how awesome KP is. XD That was funny. ^_^

Calculus...now...calculus was actually really really fun today. We had the most hilarious conversation about chairs. Haha. OMG!! Because this one gym has really comfortable fold out chairs during basketball games, Pompei actually stole one last year. So Wernick vows to steal a whole bunch for the next game (he even suggested renting Janitor costumes). So funny. Mopping the floor....the real janitors are smoking outside during the game. XD Neetacia was crying because she was laughing so hard. I really wished I recorded it because I swear...it's comedy show/stand up worthy. ::laughs in corner::

After school, due to our lack of food today, KP and I went on a food run to Safeway. ^_^ First we changed into jeans and then ran off. Ms. Seagal almost ran us over as we changed our minds and went to Subway to buy salads instead. Haha. Really really good salad. But when we got back, my salad was violated. T_T Stephy AND Jon picked apart my salad. ::sniff:: Haha. It's alright. I still love 'em. It's funny though. KP and I almost have the exact same salad, but they mooch off me. :O

Neekaan gave Javier and me a ride to BLam's house. Neekaan has the BEST CAR EVER!!! Hahahaha....^^;; Actually, it's the most ghetto car ever. Heehee... I actually thought I'd feel safe in that car, you know being Neekaan and all....::shakes head:: I think it's the car/van. There's only one side for the door. The car stalls if you hit the gas right after you stop. One of the seatbelts doesn't work because his cousin tied it into a knot. He uses a wrench to change the fan settings because the knob fell off. (That's my favorite!!) ¢¾ But it was still fun. Haha. Javier and I had fun switching back and forth between NPR, Spanish rap, the new 104.9, jazz, and classical radio stations. =)

I'm not very helpful when it comes to mouse trap cars. T_T Oh well....I tried my best to help. And then anayufan called my cell and we talked for about half an hour. XD Much fun.

Got back to school too early because no one was waiting in the parking lot yet and it was dark. It was freezing. Walked over to Becky's house...waited for a very long time....surprised her for her 18th birthday party. Took tons of pictures. Ate lots of pizza. Devoured chocolate oreo ice cream cake. Yum. Opened cards...gave her the canvas bag that ollau decorated and we all signed in sharpies....and FINALLY watched her open the gigantic package with a box....inside a target bag with foam peanuts, inside another bag, put in anoter box....and wrapped again in another box to finaly reveal an iPod nano!!! We're such good friends. ^^

Well...just got home. Took ollau home...hope she feels better. The poor sick child. And now I need to go to bed early so I can wake up early, finish my college apps, and fill the rest of my day with cotillion practices and Serra's birthday party. XD I'm busy~!

Wheee~!!!!

Please note: This entry was written Friday night and posted later due to laziness

[edit] KP has partially saved my (world religions) life. XD ::bows:: [/edit]

I'm an idiot. Yup, an idiot. Why? Because, I cleverly thought to save materials and whatnot to combine my Senior Economics binder and my World Religions binder. Problem: I have them on separate days. So basically I have to bring that binder with me where ever I go, everyday. Well, I left it in my locker. I'm at home now. School's closed. And I have a vocab quiz tomorrow morning. 2nd period of the day. >.< The library's closed tomorrow morning during 1st period, and I don't study vocab well with many distractions. Wah! I'm an idiot. My absent-mindedness as of late has punished me. Granted...I've heard no matter how much I study, it doesn't matter because Curley's quizzes are hard anyway...still....

I'm an idiot. Grr...I'm mad. I'm a mad idiot. XD

Gives me time to work on other homework. Oh wait. Left those at school too....=.= ::slams head on desk::

You watched the original Care Bears, My Little Pony, and Ninja Turtles

All your school supplies were "Lisa Frank" brand.(pencils.notebooks.binders.etc.)

You used to wear those stick on earings, not only on your ears, but at the corners of your eyes.

You remember a time before the WB.

You've gotten creeped out by "Are You Afraid of the Dark?"

You thought it would be so cool to be Alex Mack.

You know the Macarena by heart..

" Talk to the hand" ... enough said

You thought Brain woud finally take over the world

You knew all the real names of the spice girls and watched Spice World too many times to count

First weekend of the second semester and I'm not looking forward to it. T_T Too much stuff to do. And before I realized, the weekend after this one's already packed. Wah!!

The helicopters returned yesterday. This time during the day when there was still light, so I could see them from my family room while lying on the sofa trying to read Jitney. They actually started to get annoying. Circling our area over and over again, making that loud buzzing sound!! ::covers ears:: GO AWAY!! =.=

The best thing that happened this week was when Katherine came by to visit from UCSD. ::tears of happiness:: She's so awesome. I hope she had a wonderful vacation. Makes me really really want to go to UCSD now. It's my first choice. Weeeee!!

Almost late to school this morning. I even woke up ten minutes earlier. Damn. So I just ran to Econ. from the parking lot. ::sighs:: My seat in Econ's not that bad. I have Will, Jaymee, ollau, and not too far away, Jackie. So I'm good. I don't like our seating arrangements too much in World Religions though. The only person I really know next to me is Kris. Which isn't necessarily bad, but she sits somewhat behind me. Can't talk to her during class. Stupid alphabetical seating assignments. ::pouts::

The rally today sucked pretty much a lot. Kind of sad. I really like the Laguna/O.C. spoof video they did. Cynthia did a really good job. Haha. And the drumline is always really good. I wasn't really excited in the first place anyway. Just tired. >.< At least we got free dress. And this was the only rally I actually brought a working camera to, too. T_T I learned that my camera has different types of flashes though. ^_^ It has an even more powerful flash for dark settings. Muwahaha!! I still don't understand the flower thing though....it's on anayufan's camera too...hm...

The DDR thing was really bad. Sorry. They could have at least got people who actually did DDR. ::shakes head:: It was just too corny for my taste. Poor Pompei...ad libbing the entire time. Haha.

Well, still got tons of stuff to do. ::cries in a corner:: Both of my Christmas Dance pics turned out really well. ^_^ I'm happy. They're really cute. ♥

Props to Russell Peters. The guy's hella funny!! =)

HAPPY 18TH BIRTHDAY, CALVIN!!!

Right now there are two helicopters flying over our house!! O.O They've been there for like half an hour, buzzing away. They're news helicopters too.

Anyways, first day back at school today. And I swore that I would throw somebody at someone if I got homework today. I did. Get homework, that is. I can't throw people. Haha. So much homework for the first day back that I know it's a sure fire sign that I'm completely screwed this semester. What a positive outlook on my high school career. T_T

And to top it off, I still have three (3) college applications left to do. And my weekend's already packed with cotillion practice, Science and Engineering projects, and English projects!! It's the frickin' first day of school!!! ::screams frustratingly::

And don't forget, for the whole entire day I was stressing about my grades from 1st semester and how I did on the final. I probably gained a couple more white hairs....=.=

::mopes away from the computer:: T_T

First off, I want to make a somewhat large and massive apology to Stephy for not telling her that I was going to busy today. I didn't make plans until late last night and should have called you none the less. T_T I'm sorry.

[edit] New layout! New year! New month! New semester! ::sighs:: I think that's about it...::scratches head:: Anyways, I made this about a week ago. I was just experimenting with a few different effects and brushes and the like. Let me know if you have difficulty reading the links, I know on the right it's a little too bright, but I'm mainly concerned with the left side. ^_^;; Although, I'm already missing Sora. T_T Maybe I'll make another KH layout for February...hmm...we'll see. Haha. [/edit]

Now. How did I spend my last day of winter vacation? Well, I'll tell you.

Went to bed this morning at 2:30am. XD Woke up at 9:45am. Took a shower and the left the house with me mum around 10-10:15am. Pasta Pomodoro wasn't open yet so we went to Petsmart to buy food for my fishies. Then we spent another 15 minutes looking at all of the other fishies. Haha.

We ate lunch at Pasta Pomodoro around 11am. The only complaint I had was that the only people other than us who wanted to eat that early were sitting in the corner and the guy wanted to seat us right next to them. Grr...we had the whole restaurant to choose a seat and he sat us next to the only other customers in the restaurant. My mom gave him a dirty look. XDD The Ravioli di Zucca was DELICIOUS!! YUM! And I ate almost two plates worth of free bread. ^^

Went to the post office where there were sooooo many people. @_@ Then we sat in the parking lot waiting for 12:30 to meet up with KP who happened to park next to us. XD That was cool.

KP and I hadn't had mocha frappachinos in the longest time so we "ran" to Starbucks and then went to the movie theater.

Now, the movie. The Producers was hilarious. I don't care what the critics say, I loved it. ^_^ Matthew Broderick had a really annoying accent though, but he sang well so it's cool. The only major complaint was this annoying girl who sat behind me with this terrible high pitched laugh. But that wasn't as annoying until she left the theater for ten minutes, came back, and whacked me on the head with her bag. >.< That HURT LADY!!! GRR....

I really wanted to see the musical when it was in town, so obviously when I heard it was going to be made into a motion picture, I was definitely going to see it. =) So I'm happy. The dancing was cute and the music was funny. I loved it. ♥ ♥ ♥ I have no other ways to describe it. Just a smile. ^_^

I'm on disk 4 of One Tree Hill. I'm not going to finish season 1 before tomorrow. I'm sad. T_T Oh well.

I really want to learn Tinikling now because Henry and Justine were learning it yesterday at cotillion practice and I was watching them for about an hour. It looks like so much fun, and all last night I had the song stuck in my head. Maybe I should join Hiyaas or something....¬.¬

I don't want to go to school tomorrow!!!! WAH! T_T

All in all. The vacation went by very fast. But I'm happy. It was a good vacation. I did many things. Didn't accomplish everything that I would have liked to have done, but I still had a wonderful vacation that didn't involve me sitting at home bored to death 99% of the time. So therefore, I'm happy. =)

I'm sorry, Stephy. Besides, it's better if we do lunch/dinner on Friday or a weekend. I'm sorry. Gomene!

HAPPY NEW YEAR, EVERYONE!!

Or as I like to spell it: Hapi Nu Yir!! XD

Watched Revenge of the Sith until midnight with my dad last night. They talk to much in that movie, my dad said, repeatedly. XD Oh well, it's better than Episode 2. And for some odd reason, my favorite movie out of all three of the prequels was Episode 1. I don't know, but I like it. Beh! =P Haha.

My favorite lines in the entirety of the movie:
[Obi-Wan]: You were The Chosen One! It was said that you would destroy The Sith, not join them! It was you who would bring balance to The Force, not leave it in Darkness!
[Anakin]: *shouts* I hate you!
[Obi-Wan]: You were my brother, Anakin. I loved you.

::almost cries:: Obi-Wan says it with such such...emotion. T_T No, I'm serious, I love it when he says it to Anakin as he's lying there moan in pain and catching on fire. XD And while he's there in pain, he somewhat resembles Voldemort to me. Haha.

Although, Episode 3 gives me a few references to Final Fantasy X. XD Yes. I'm weird. I know it. When the ship's coming in from the atmosphere on fire at the beginning it reminded me of the airship that Tidus and crew gets later on. And when the Chancellor and Anakin are talking in that opera house place, the water globes reminded me of blitzball. XDD
