HAPPY NEW YEAR'S EVE, EVERYONE!
Start making your resolutions. =) And review your old ones to see if you accomplished any. Haha. I don't even remember what mine were, if I made any. Oh well...
Delivered a couple of gifts today. Hope they like. ^.~
One of my only goals this year is to do as much as I can because high school's over in 5 months. T_T I'm a little sad...but a little anxious as well. New frontiers...and we'll be at the bottom of the totem pole once again in college. ::sighs:: I must be spontaneous in the next few months!! ::determined face::
Damn. These past few months just went flying by. I don't even remember summer. >.< Junior seems just like yesterday. Now we're going to be second semester seniors. It hasn't even really sunk in yet...being a senior. It feels a lot like Frosh year...2002-2003...yeah...that one flew by real quick too. Hmm...
We don't really do anything special on New Year's Eve. We just sit around at home, playing with our new toys. XD Sometimes, I think, we watch Independence Day, you know that movie with Will Smith? I don't know why, but I guess since we don't have time during the actually Independence Day, we watch it on another holiday that involves fireworks and whatnot. Does New Year's involve fireworks? I don't even remember. >.< That's another goal. Start organizing myself better so I have a better memory. I'm too forgetful as of late.
Don't party too hard you guys. Haha. And see you all in the new year.

Friday, December 30, 2005HAPPY BIRTHDAY, STEPHY!!
Oh, and KP gave me Star Wars Episode 3: Revenge of the Sith. I really want to watch it now. T_T
My mom went to Target today. She bought me One Tree Hill Season 1 on sale for $25. Yay! Now I want to watch that too...::sniff::
Well, off to go finish my stupid Calculus homework and bake somebody double chocolate chip cookies. =)

Thursday, December 29, 2005Saw Memoirs of a Geisha with ollau and KP yesterday. ^_^ Quite an interesting movie. KP and I missed part of a Jennifer Garner movie preview though because I needed to get my normal sustenance from the concession stand. But this lady was ordering enough food to feed the entire theater!! O.O All I wanted was a Cherry icee and a medium popcorn. OMG! Jeez lady!
The movie: Pretty good. I had to battle with my parents in order to see it. Grr. "It's about prostitution" they say. Blah blah! "Adult themes" they say. Yak yak! ::heavy sigh and rolls eyes:: The movie's freaking PG-13, people!! If there are "adult themes" I highly doubt that it's much anyway being that the movie has been approved for (13) THIRTEEN year olds. O.O Besides...geishas aren't prostitutes. The author and director try to draw a line between a prostitute and a geisha throughout the work. My gosh!
There are slight references such as selling the girl for the highest bidder in that sort, but Zhang Ziyi's (I know she Americanized her name, but that's how I'm saying it!!!) character doesn't do that sort of thing. She's reserving herself for that special person. ^^ Aww...
The story is heartfelt, bittersweet, and like all the Chinese movie drama's that Zhang Ziyi has starred in, slow. As always. But as usual, wonderful visuals and imagery....and I guess they couldn't hold back on a few Artist of the Floating World references either. Haha.
But I still haven't considered whether or not I like this movie or not. So you should probably go see it yourself if you're curious. And if you want spoilers...see my livejournal. It'll be under a separate entry.
KP and I finished almost finished a medium bag of popcorn. But I think I ate too much. T_T My stomach hurt the rest of the day, and then I almost passed out in Media Play. I started fanning myself with DVD's. XD Media play is closing and the ENTIRE STORE IS ON SALE!! Haha. Movies are 40% off, manga 20% off, books 20% off, videogames 40% off, and cd's too....even the candy they sell is 40% off if you have a sweet tooth. Haha.
So I bought Shakespeare in Love even though I also wanted West Side Story and Titan A.E., but I lack enough money and my parents would've killed me for buying so many movies. >.< I just finished watching Shakespeare in Love. Good movie. Not good if you want to watch it in front of your critical father. ¬.¬ Many uncomfortable scenes....Ahem. I also watched my Mr. & Mrs. Smith which I love. ::glomps:: Brad Pitt is so hot in that movie. ::stares:: As my little cousin recites (keep in mind she's like 7) "Mr. & Mrs. Smith, Smart and sexy!". Haha. When she said that our whole family turned to her in surprise. O.O;;
Afterwards, I bought a tiara and KP switched her AE sweatshirt. We bought cold drinks, KP coughed some more, I choked on some of the smoothie, and acted somewhat drunk because I still didn't feel somewhat well. T_T
I really want to open KP's gift to me. ::pouts:: Haha. I'll see if I can last 'till Easter.
Now...to do my Calculus homework.
Welcome back Stephy!!

Sunday, December 25, 2005Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays everyone!!
It's around 4:30 right now and I have yet to open all of my presents. T_T In fact I haven't been home all day. Oh well. Better go do that. XD
So...as my Christmas present to you guys...I made anyone who reads this a digital card, as of last night. Feel free to take it. It's for you. Heehee...
It's a little wet today therefore I've been yawning and groggy all day. =.= I'm like a cat...nyou! Ew...I almost passed out in church today. But...almost...key word there. Feeling better though. YAY!
Now to go complete my holiday with PRESENTS!! O_O ::races parents to the tree::
---------------
[edit] We finally opened the presents! XD Here's a picture of most of the gifts my family received. =)
Once again, my wish list was neglected, but oh well. All's well if presents are involved. Haha. So I'm happy.
Parents:
Me:
I think that's all....::scratches head:: I'm happy that there were gifts at all. >.< Our tree was so empty. ¬.¬;; So yeah...the holiday ended quite quickly. I'm a little sad. Oh well...I'll feel happier after a day or two of crazy after Christmas shopping. Muwahaha! [/edit]

Saturday, December 24, 2005I'll have to make this quick because my mom will literally rip my head off if I spend anymore time on the internet, even though I just got on. T_T
I also woke up around 12:55...wow...
So yeah, my dream. I had a dream that me and all of my high school classmates were getting attacked by Voldemort at my old school, SCS. O_O How weird is that? We're in the auditorium, doing whatever because I can't remember, and out of nowhere he plans to blow up our school. I have no idea what that has to do with Voldemort, because it seems more like foreign bombing, but it's a dream dudes. XD
Everyone's fleeing out of the gym into the parking lot. And I'm surrounded by deatheaters around a circular table. I think they were deatheaters...::scratches head:: Hagrid comes and takes people's backpacks and then this guy takes my backpack and flees. I somehow escape with everyone else into the parking lot, where three large beyond large yellow school buses and a jet plane, which apparently was Air Force 1 were waiting for us to help us escape. Kathy and I and I think another small person are trying to get into the bus but we have to climb it and we're too scared to climb properly and keep falling. For some reason the bus is very tall. So I cheat and take the entrance and (now I remember...it was Stephy) I don't know how, but Stephy gets left behind. And the entire time I'm worried about my white UCLA sweatshirt and my TI-89 Titanium calculator that I left behind at the school. The end.
This dream reminds me a lot of another dream I had where we're fleeing from a T-Rex attacking San Francisco or something...and my old middle school, once again O_O. We try to escape in school buses and it's more like the dinosaurs are actually after me and my friends. We somehow try to escape in a random forest, but in the end the T-rex corners us...and that's when I woke up. I don't remember all the details because that's a really really old dream...
Where in the world do I get these dreams? Because they're definitely not wishes that my heart makes. XD The last thing I remember doing last night was ParaPara-ing because anayufan made me reminisce about stuff. I was talking to him for like three hours yesterday on the phone. Oh my gosh. I was laughing so much that I developed a slight cough. T_T
Well got to help prepare for our Christmas party. I'll dedicate a more Christmassy post later, okay? ::winks::

Thursday, December 22, 2005So today was pretty busy once more. >.< Man...I haven't had time to tackle my college apps. Eek! Well, arcade day was so much fun yesterday. And I forgot to mention that anayufan showed me all his mad dance moves from the BoA Girls on Top PV. ^^ So cool.
Today, I had to get up crazy early, AGAIN! T_T But then I subconsciously turned off my alarm when it went off around 9:30 apparently, and I woke up at 10. O_O I had to be at Michelle's house at 10:30!! It takes me half an hour to get ready!! ::rushes::
I was somewhat on time. Luckily she was looking for the mailman. Phew!
Cotillion practice at Michelle's is waltzing in the rain, stuffing our faces with pizza before Ryan arrives, leap frog, five second poses, singing Kelly Clarkson in the rain, spirit fingers, dancing in the garage, spinning Michelle FUN. =) I think that sums up everything. XDD
Then right after, my mom drove me to Serra's house. She was freaking though because she hates driving up there, but she drives up there way faster than dad. And I love all my parents suck at directions, and yet I have the best memory of them all. Muwahaha!
So more videogame fun, specifically Super Smash Brothers Melee and me being annoying because I just use moves that I like repeatedly. T_T Will and GundaManiac showed up in the limo! Such class. XD The cleaning ladies were in such wonder and awe. Haha.
anayufan went too. YAY! But then when I left, I forgot to grab the sheetmusic from him. ::Tear:: He and I were setting marshmallows on fire in the bonfire and then eating them. XD I like burning corndogs and sausages. Heehee! Serra's dog is so cute. KAWAII! ♥ ♥
I just learned how to make those heart thingies, and now I'm obsessed.
I hate the voicemail on my cell. Grr...if people leave messages I don't get notification of the voicemail until about a day or two later. So last minute messages are a definite NO SHOW!! ::crosses arms to make an x::
House cleaning tomorrow. T_T Our house is so not guest worthy even if it is just my cousins.
Kingdom Hearts 2 came out in Japan today. T_T I'm jealous. Technically yesterday, but today's the exact date.
MidoriChi delivered present(s) @ 11:25 p.m.!
Wednesday, December 21, 2005I woke up even earlier today....>.< ::mumble mumble:: Because anayufan wanted to hang out at Golfland today. ^_^ And since he wanted to be there when it opened, he wanted to be at Golfland at 10. O_O
Of course, there was a slight mix-up. He thought the unlimited gaming was for the entire day, but apparently it starts at 6 in the evening and goes until closing. Oh well, his mom was still awesome about it and bought $60 worth of tokens for the day. O.O OMG!! That's so much money. But it worked out, since there were like 11 of us playing games and stuff. We actually almost used all of it. I think we have a little over $10 worth of tokens left...::whistles:: It's DDR, man, it eats up your tokens.
But yeah. So much fun today. OMG. I haven't been to Golfland in months. The last time was probably in December when anayufan and I went often, almost like every two weeks or something. Then Calvin asked to tag along, and that would have been even more fun, but we never went back that year. T_T Until today.
I met all of his Hiyas friends. Or most of them. They're so nice....and loud. XD Antonette told me that she was surprised that Henri and I were friends of anayufan's because we were so quiet. Haha. I told her I'm just shy around new people and stuff. ollau knows I can be very loud...and very talkative. ^^;;;
So, I had took a whack, literally, at Drummaniac, and this weird Korean DDR with diagonal arrows. o.O;; It's hard. I beat anayufan several times at Tekken 5. Heehee....but that's because he didn't play Julia. He's so nice~!
Let's see...what else did we do....hmm....>.<;;; We went to lunch at the Pizza Box because the pizza at GL is soooo expensive. T_T X-tina took charge of our disorderliness and made everyone pay Kenneth a dollar to buy the pizza. =) We're such pigs. We finished the drinks and food in like 10 minutes. ¬_¬
anayufan even pulled an all-nighter to make me cd's. ::glomps:: I'm listening to them right now. Heehee....He made remixes and non-stop mixes for me. =) The guy better sleep...his contacts were bothering him during dinner....::pats back::
I actually passed a stage on the ParaPara machine. ^_^ I've never done that before. Stupid sensors.....
Well...I'll post more later...I only have an hour before I get logged off...::glances at clock::
Serra's party tomorrow...and more cotillion practice! WOOT! ^_^ I'm so excited. Heehee....
P.S. Kingdom Hearts 2 comes in Japan tomorrow...or right now technically since they're ahead of us....I'm soooo jealous. T_T

Tuesday, December 20, 2005So...I had to wake up before 10 this morning, because we decided to set up an appointment with my hygienist around 11. T_T It takes about 1/2 an hour to get there so yeah. And I needed to allow another 1/2 hour to wash up and get dressed because I was going to Michelle's cotillion practice right after.
This has been one of the few times when my hygienist looks at my teeth and doesn't have anything to complain about. YAY! Go me! =) There's nothing wrong with my teeth yet. XD
I really want In 'n Out. T_T But it's always packed...and my dad wants food fast...
We finally finished the Waltz for 'Shell's cotillion. YAY! And it's exhausting...especially when you practice it over and over again. My calves are killing me. >.< It was funny though, because everyone came to practice all bundled up in sweatshirts and jackets, and after a couple of rounds, we were down to tank tops and t-shirts and still very hot....Ew...Haha.
So...nothing too eventful today. But practice at Michelle's house is always fun. ^_^ I love hanging out with...well...most of them. I'm going to go sleep. I have a headache now...and I feel very tired...::yawns::
Oh! Wait! I'm catching up on my Alias, finally. I've got like four more episodes to go before I'm all caught up. =) I can't believe Amy Acker's a bad guy. She was such a goody girl in Angel. Perhaps they got her because she did an action show before, and she works well with foreign languages...::shrugs:: I don't like Rachel. She's too much like a mini-Sydney. T_T Now, I really want to watch season 1. It's been so long....

Monday, December 19, 20051.) The tagged victim has to come up with 8 different points of their perfect lover
2.) Need to mention the sex of the target.
3.) Tag 8 victims to join this game && leave a comment on their Comments saying they've been tagged.
4.) If tagged the 2nd time, theres no need to post again.
-------------- Here's mine. =)
Target: Male
1. Absolutely sweet and adorable, but knows the value of timing and space.
2. Needs to be talkative. Sure I'm talkative, but you need to get me gearing if you want to yank any information out of me. XD
3. Jealous is good...but don't threaten everyone I come into contact with. >.< I'm pretty monogomous anyway.
4. Interesting in a way to introduce me to new hobbies or interests...I'm open-minded about many things, and love adventure. Seriously. But also open for me to express my strange interests as well. (It goes both ways guys.)
5. Dances. Or willing to try. And perhaps, if you want to, I can teach you to waltz or something. XD
6. Reliable and speaks his mind. Too many times have I been avoided for weeks on end, without any word exchanged. At least let me know if you need the space. Reliable...if he says he'll call or show up, be there or at least tell me ahead of time. Being supportive might also fit in this category as well...not too sure...@_@
7. Not stoic. It'd be helpful if I could figure out if something was bothering you or if something was up...
8. Hmm...the last one...what should I say. ::scratches head:: Can be serious when need be, so that he can help me if I have problems or just a good listener.
That's it. =) Now...I tag GundaManiac, Dolt, usame, Tomoe, Aencille, Hiyono, Jaymee, and I'm out...because people are going on vacation so...Misai. XD Now go...follow the evil bidding of tagage. Muwahahaha!

Friday, December 16, 2005Well...it wasn't that bad. ¬.¬ Mainly, probably, because I had internet and KP to keep me sane for this very stressful week. ::sighs:: Let's start from the beginning.
Monday: Last first period of the first semester. I basically chilled. And KP helped me mix and match my college essays so I don't have to write as much from scratch. Heehee. Christian Vocations was fine. It went by slower than normal, but he made up for that by playing a couple of clips of Kevin James doing stand-up comedy. Very hilarious. I was laughing so much that I started coughing. >.< Ew. Kind of a deja vu thing though because I just saw him on Hitch on Saturday at my mom's work Christmas party. Hmm... English was boring. I really didn't want to work, but oh well. We went over "The Second Coming" by Yeats and "The Hollow Men" by T.S. Eliot. I like Eliot. ^_^ I'm not really partial to poetry, but Eliot's one of the few guys I like. XD Mr. See is really mean to Crowleee though. I mean, REALLY MEAN. O_O But if Richy over there in the corner talks about Bush and how he's the AntiChrist according to Yeats, Mr. See just chuckles. Poor Crowleee. T_T Lunch, I can't remember what happened during lunch. >_< Anyways, Calculus class just made me more depressed about how much I suck at math. I don't know what happened. I was an "Allstar" (unquote) in Johnson's class Sophomore year...::shrugs:: Oh well. After school, I went to Neetacia's house for (4) FOUR hours of studying for our English final. Ew. Needless to say, I didn't do any homework after that. I was too academic-ed out. ::sleeps::
Tuesday: Last collaboration of the first semester. It was bitter sweet. No one was around this morning. T_T Our Asian corner at the end of the 100 building was practically empty. But then ollau comes and walks with me. Yay! Haha. KP gets mad at me later because I gave my English study session notes to ollau instead of her. Hey! She wasn't there....>.< Spanish was boring. All we did was talk about Garcia Lorca some more. I don't like that guy. Die EL ROMANCERO GITANO die! ::stabs Spanish book with pen:: We didn't do anything Physics-like in Physics so that was cool. I ran over to the library to make copies of my notes for KP, as promised. XD Lawrence gave me change. YAY! And then KP and I just studied for English for half the class, and then for Physics for the second half. I'm dead tired of poetry. We're doing poetry in Spanish and in English. NO MORE!! ::dramatic yell:: We also received our grades going into the final. That's depressing...::sniff:: Lunch. I already talked about that. XD Dan visits from Irvine, Stephy and Ponce's strange gift of unmentionables from Kertus and Ed....see previous entries. ¬.¬ Government was boring, too. We reviewed a little bit, and then I stole GundaManiac's digital camera and looked at all of his Christmas Dance pictures. Muwahaha! After school, KP, Michelle, Lawrence, and I studied. I was multitasking. 'Shell was asking about English and KP was asking about Physics. @_@ Crazy. That night, I had a huge temper tantrum though. Grr...I'm usually pretty recluse when it comes to anger or sadness or annoyance, but yeah. I guess everything just kind of blew up.
Wednesday: First day of finals~ First, was English. I was almost late too. And I didn't know where the room was. >.< The final was alright. The study thing on Monday didn't really help much though because we didn't cover the terms on the test. T_T KP's random study questions helped more. Thanks KP! ^_^ I gave my present to Mr. See, and then I went off to study for Physics during our ten minute break. Physics was crazy hard. T_T I heard people had the test and answers too...they screwed us over. >.< Cheaters SUCK! Beh! ::sticks out tongue and pulls down one eyelid:: Mr. See stopped by near the end because we were in his classroom. He asked me, "So what class is this?" "AP Physics" "Aaah!" ::scoots away:: ^.^ Haha. I spent about half an hour staring at the stupid elevator problem because I didn't know how the hell to do it! Wah! At the end, I almost forgot to write "dance" next to my name for Extra Credit. XD Luckily I saw Mravkuh's paper as I was turning it in. Heehee...
Thursday: Second day... First up, Government. I walked into the room where we were supposed to take our final thinking that it was our religion final. I look around and was like, "Wait a minute. They're not in my religion class." ::exits room and checks planner:: Oops! That was the right room. XD I'm not the only one though. Luffy did the same thing. >.<;; The Government final was alright, except for the questions that I didn't know. We DID NOT cover anything about voting. Stupid test... Mr. Reedaboo was our prefect though, and he's always really funny. Yelling at us to finish up early so he can go home. XD Second, Spanish. Ew. It was a lot easier than her Spanish 4 finals (if I remember correctly), but I think I died. ¬.¬;; People were writing way more than I did. T_T And I didn't understand the passage or what the poetry questions were asking! Wah! I left the final 45 minutes before it ended so I had chill time. ^_^ heehee... Justin took off the wrapper of the screen on my cellphone. Really gross. But I guess it's alright. I was afraid to take it off because there was like gooey stuff underneath. But he just wiped it on his shorts. XDD I gave my presents to my teachers too. It was funny when I was still taking my final, and other people were done with their foreign language already and going to their lockers. Senora went out and yelled at them, a lot. Haha. It's funny when it's your teacher doing the yelling. ^^;;; My mom picked me up today. We were going to eat at Pasta Pomodoro but there were sooooooo many people at Ranch 99. T_T There was no parking literally. And there was this one group who decided to hug each other and talk in the middle of the road. I really wanted my mom to honk at them. XD They were really annoying, which reminded me of stupid freshman who stand in the middle of the hallway in circular groups...Grr... I tried to study for Religion and Calculus that night, but I kept falling asleep. So my mom sat next to me while I was studying and would poke me whenever I dozed off. XD Then she started to give me back massages. O_O That woke me up. ^^ Heehee...felt really good too....oh...I want my spa day...T_T
Friday: Four down...two to go... 1. Christian Vocations. Crazy long final. @_@ It took forever to do, and a few of the essays, I think I bombed because I didn't know what the heck he was talking about. Found out today that three (3) [that's 5 total because 2 others got in for sports] more people from our class got into Stanford. CONGRATS Neekaan, Aleez, and Steve Flo! They make it look so easy. T_T Haha. They got accepted yesterday, and yesterday I just applied to Stanford. XD The irony. Haha. I was scared spitless for my Calculus BC final. T_T I think I owned the multiple choice, but died a terrible and painful death in the free response. ¬_¬ So...let's not talk about that. Farewell beautiful A-, and hello again you depressing and cruel cruel B+. ::sobs:: IKZ finally posted the AP Physics grades though. Apparently he found out about the cheating, we thought he was pissed at all of us and was going to kill us all. Eeek! ::runs away:: My grade didn't change at all. And I got a 68% on the final! WOOT!! =)
I really wanted to see Memoirs of a Geisha with KP today after school, but my parents are mean and cruel and told me a flat out "NO!". ::mumble mumble:: I'm sad. I didn't get to steal GundaManiac's cloak today either. But Kertus gave me a Christmas present today. ^_^ I really want to open it. =3
Ack! When are we doing measurements?! ::tugs on GundaManiac's cloak::
FREEDOM!! =) YAY!
I'm bored already. >.< Can't you tell? I just wrote this long @$$ entry!! ::points:: And I proof read it!! O.O;; Haha.
I can't wait until tomorrow though. I'm going to take over the world eat sushi! Yum. ::rubs tummy::
Peace out! Haha... ^^

Thursday, December 15, 2005Minor update....
Guess what everyone!
I turned in my Stanford Application today! Yay!
P.S. I don't [heart] Lawrence. I wrote it on Malav's arm so that everyone would think that Malav [hearts] Lawrence. I don't want any unnecessary rumors spreading now. ::frowns:: >.< Way too many of those...
Two more finals to go...and then FREEDOM!! ^_^

Tuesday, December 13, 2005This will be a short entry because I'm technically supposed to be avoiding the internet. But I just couldn't resist posting this. =)
The highlight of my day: Me writing "I [heart] Lawrence" on Malav's arm in pen. And then watching Malav read it, yell out in protest, steal my black pen away from me, and scratch out Lawrence's name. And then see KP happily write her name in Lawrence's stead. XD That was funny. Heehee...
2nd highlight: Sprinting from the library to the 300 building to hopefully meet up with Lawrence's van waving his physics paper around. I forgot to give it back to him before his left. >.< Haha.
3rd.: Watching Stephy open her gigantic box from Ed and Kurtis to find several unmentionables wrapped in binder paper inside. ¬.¬
The biggest surprise of the day: Dan came to visit today....all the way from Irvine! YAY! ::glomp::
Okay, back to our regularly scheduled program...
MidoriChi delivered present(s) @ 06:30 p.m.!
Sunday, December 11, 2005So yeah...the second entry of the day. ^_^ Let's see...
For the majority of the recital, we just chilled in my teacher's studio gossiping and stuff. XD Some of the little ones were freaking out about mistakes they made. Oh well, they'll grow and realize that mistakes aren't that bad. I make them all the time. XDDD I don't think that's a good thing. Haha. Luckily I'm not majoring in music.
Moving on...that was long @ss recital. O_O 24 people/duets/accompaniment. That's soooo long. My friend had to play last and the whole time he wanted people to play faster and get it over with. XD Ha...ha...^_^
GundaManiac would be happy to hear this. The second person to play, this little kid, played the Imperial March. XD We were sitting there and one of my friends said, "Star Wars?" And I was like...yeah...it is...haha. Immediately thought of you and Kertus. =)
Then this little kid, his brother, and my other friend did a trio with three classical guitars. And the last song they played was a Jack Johnson song, and the little kid was singing to it while my friend played. It was so cute. The kid's like 10 years old and he was tapping his guitar and everything. ::adoring sigh::
Let's not talk about how I played....>.< ::mumbles something about stupid adrenaline::
The second to last person played this song that was about 6-7 minutes long and my friend was dying of impatience. Haha. Play faster! XD It was funny.
So all in all a very boring and long experience. It'll be my last winter recital. T_T Unless I get into Stanford. XD I'm not going to Santa Clara...nuh uh...
Better go finish my Stanford app and start studying for FREAKING finals. T_T

Sunday, December 11, 2005I was ineffably happy yesterday for about three hours. Then it died.
My piano recital is today. I'm scared. But then again, I'm always scared. Wish me luck. ^^;
By the way finals start Wednesday, so I'm going to try and avoid the computer this week.

Saturday, December 10, 2005School yesterday was quite boring. The entire day I wanted it to just end!!! ::heavy sigh:: Collaboration was boring because KP was helping organize food for International club. T_T Jon, Larry, and I just chilled. Jon was reading parts of 'Arry Potta' and the Goblet of Fire in the hallway by flipping to random pages and making up his own story. It was quite amusing for a bit.
Government was boring. 'nuff said.
I missed homeroom to help set up for International Club, which was alright. But I could have sworn that any more quality time spent together between German and Chilean would have resulted in WWIII. ::hides:: They're scary...
Then I had to run over to Busbin's class to deliver jackets, which weren't due until Tuesday. HE LIES!! ::points:: Dolt was in there. XD
Physics was boring too. T_T We did a bunch of AP Problems which will probably be on the final, which means that all of us are completely screwed for Physics. ::cries::
Lunch was alright. I helped give out cookies. My cookies were the best!! Muwahahaha! ¬_¬ Probably because my mom made most of them...ahem. ::coughing::
Spanish was alright. We're never going to finish all the poems before the final. Great....more digressing. Ollau and I started doing calligraphy and I realized that calligraphy pens are evil because I can't use them since I'm LEFT HANDED!! =.=;; Grr... Too many connections between Spanish and English class...it's crazy. @_@
After school was boring too. No was around! O_O Except Ponce and Stephy but they were just sitting in the extremely stuffy library. Hmph. KP left early. Larry and I hung out for a while. We listened to Fern sing. She's really good. ^_^ If I had money and there's was a guitar case, I would have dropped some money. Haha.
I went home. Took two hours to get ready. Half of which, my mom was being finicky over Becky's dress because she didn't like how the safety pins were showing. We're not allowed to wear halter tops, so Becky and KP had the beyond awesome idea to crisscross the straps and safety pin them in the back. It looks really cute too. I attempted to put on eye-liner (I need more practice). >.< And my contacts were being fussy since I wore them on the wrong eyes a couple of weeks ago, I was worried I ruined my eyes.
But everything went awesome. KP and I bet up at school. She was freezing. Haha. I was cold too but I brought my fleece jacket. Muwahaha! We met up with BLam and friends. XD and Kertus and Ed. There weren't a lot of people, but that's what the Christmas dance is. Not too crowded. Edmund showed up with a date, Anna(sp?). She looked very nice. ^_^ I hope they had fun.
I don't know about everyone else, but I had lots and lots of fun. Much to do with KP and I and the guys who are scary at times. Embarrassingly scary. Haha. Still fun to watch. At one point, GundaManiac stole Ed's hat and I could see them from the balcony running around at the back of the gym, arms flailing. XD
It's too bad most of the girls we were dancing with left early because the last half hour squished in some particularly good songs. Oh well.
Oh! KP and I requested "Love Shack" and Alvin played it. That made me happy. He played it almost immediately too. YAY!
Raines and Wahl had a dance out or whatever you call it. You know, where the masses crowd around you in a large open circle to watch them dance back and forth trying to best the other. Except this was between teachers. O_O Break dancing Wahl versus Spirit Commission Raines. XD I couldn't see most of it though because people were being stupid and half the time I was worried that I was going to fall over. Oh well.
IKZ looked like he had an alright time since he had to chaperon. He brought his iPOD and listened to that for most of it. A lot of people, I bet you, wouldn't have gone if he hadn't offered 20pts of extra credit if he saw us at the dance. XD He started dancing with Sam very um...disturbing-ly...I'm still trying to erase the image in my mind. >.< Ew.
Well, I'm pretty busy today. I hope I can fit in cotillion practice.

Wednesday, December 7, 2005[edited] This made me feel a little better. ^_^ Stole from usame.
You know you're living in 2005 when..
1) you accidentally enter your password
on a microwave
2) you haven't played solitaire with real
cards in years
3) thE reaL reason for not staying in
touch with friends is that they don't have
a screen name
4) you'd rather look all over the house for
the remote instead of just pushing to
button on the tv.
6) your boss dont even have the ability to
do your job.
7) you read this list, & keep nodding and
smiling
8) as you read this list, you think about
sending it to all your
friends
9) and.. you were to busy to notice
there was no number 5.
10) you actually scrolled back up to check
that there was no 5
11) & now you're laughing at your
stupidity
=) And I actually did what was said in the last part. XD [/edited]
Today absolutely sucked. It was a bad day since last night. XD I'll explain...
Apparently bad days come in pairs. KP and I had very similar bad day(s) as of late. T_T For me, it started last night. Strange things happen when creepy things go bump in the night. Let's just say, random things keep happening to me, and especially to poor KP. Please be here soon VACATION!!!
So I don't really want to share the adventures of last night...but it was bad. It made me moody. Then KP and I talked for approximately one hour and fifteen minutes last night while I tried to study for a stupid and fat government quiz. After that very interesting conversation, I studied a little longer, and then called anayufan. Very late I may add....he wasn't angry though. YAY! (Hint: around 12 am) So we talked for an hour and a half after that about various things. His new school, and whatnot. Oh! And about ayumi hamasaki and his floorshow. I asked him to Senior Ball. XD He said yes. YAY! The majority of my conversations with anayufan are always quite positive...
So...moving on...to the bad day. I woke up late, again. We rushed to school because we had club pictures again. I missed my CSF picture. T_T Oh well, I made 8 out of 9 clubs. I think that's pretty good...Again...moving on. I realize in the rush of going to school for a yearbook picture, I forgot my stupid government notes which I stayed up late working on for the open note quiz today. Not a smart move at all. So my hours of slaving over only half of what I needed to study went down the drain.
I called my dad's phone, but it was off. I was hoping he would be able to drop off the notes before Government during lunch. But we'll talk about that later...
So I'm pissed. KP also forgot her Spanish homework at school last night. How do we end up in similar boats, I do not know! >.< Life's evil. So I'm completely stressed now more than ever. I'm extremely tired, and I get even more stressed when I realize that I'm getting sick in Spanish class. I can't breathe out of half my nose. Great. And to top it off, I was worried during most of the class of the spider that ollau saw at the beginning of the class on her desk. O_O Me no likey spiders....evil....
So, during Physics I studied for Government while people explained stuff. Not much to say.
Lunch, I tried to ignore my many problems and eat. XD No, I don't eat my feelings. =.=
I may have died on the government quiz today. I really want an A in that class. It's a regular class....I should be getting A's in regular classes. ::pulls at hair:: I have B's most likely in all my other classes...why can't I have my A?! Stupid government class. ::mumble::
So yeah....thinking about it all over now, it wasn't too bad of a day, but emotionally, I can't take any of this anymore. I may not admit it, but I'm tired. A girl can only take so much.
As of today though, I don't have any homework technically due tomorrow or Friday. So I'm a little happy. But other than that....I really don't want to do anything right now...but I have college apps and essays to write. Damn.
Now...two years ago, I forgot my essay for Tam's class on my printer. I call my dad to see if he could drop it off because it was at the end of the day, like today. His phone's not on. Apparently, his phone's dead and he has meetings all day so he can't do any favors. Today was a similar day. His phone's not on, I don't have his work office phone number, and I know his phone was dying yesterday so I didn't know if he was ever going to get my message. Apparently, he got it, and left four messages on my phone during lunch. Technically, I'm not allowed to use phones on campus during school hours. I called my dad this morning in the bathroom. XD Of course, I'm not going to leave my phone on. I should have though. I can put it on silent without vibrate and checked it during lunch. Well, apparently also, he was waiting for half an hour during my lunch right out in front of the school, with my notes. T_T So close and yet so far...::sobs::
Stephy bought my a peppermint mocha after school today, so that was a little cool. I didn't burn my tongue this time. ^^;;
ollau's my awesome Spanish buddy. I hope I don't annoy her....¬.¬ She makes my day....
I want to get so many people Christmas gifts, but I lack time. I'm thinking about just giving them after New Year's and calling them New Year's gifts. XD
::sighs:: I have a winter recital this Sunday. I hope I don't get a nervous breakdown while playing the Chopin minute waltz.
My weekend's already crazy! I have to start studying for finals. There's a dance this Friday with a possible movie. A Christmas party at Tita Mila's on Saturday which Angela will kill me if I don't go. And a recital (as said before) on Sunday. >.< Yo quiero una siesta...

Monday, December 5, 2005So today was strange. Yup. This morning started out normal. Um...Government was boring, as usual. T_T GundaManiac and I just chattered away most of the time. XD We ended class with a discussion about whether the government should call it a Christmas tree vs. Holiday tree. Well, they wouldn't call it a Holiday Menora(sp?) someone said...I agree. Then you could have a Holiday tree during the 4th of July or Easter. Besides, not every holiday has a tree to decorate and sing about. The tree is basically the symbol for Christmas. There just isn't any other name for it.
Now that that's cleared up...someone in Government, said that in Japan they put Santas up on crosses. O_O I hope not...
Physics was suprisingly quiet today. It's never quiet....it was almost....too quiet. XD
Spanish. Now, thankfully, Angie pulled through. I knew she would. ^_^ Although, I made so many stupid mistakes, we did alright. Oh wait....besides the fact that our entire interpretation of the poem was COMPLETELY WRONG! O.O;; ::sighs:: At least she knows we didn't plagarize or anything. Good ol' ollau! XDD
After school was quite different. I actually tried to sit down and do my homework. OMG!! It's a miracle! XDD But then, Stephy kept bothering me. =.=;; First, it's "Come! Look at what Ed did to Ponce's car! Look at the Make-out Mobile!" Apparently this morning, Ed and probably Kertus too decorated Ponce's Mercedes in liquid chalk writing. XD It was actually pretty amusing. And then Malav and some other guy's car got chalked too. XDD Now that's funny. Haha...
Second, it's "Help, Ponce and I are locked in the trunk and Kertus left us alone! We can't breathe!" ::falls down:: Why the hell would you decide to lock yourselves in the trunk a SECOND time?! ::slap forehead with palm:: DOH!
Finally, I go home. But apparently, fate doesn't want us to go home. ¬.¬ It takes us an hour to get to my music studio. We didn't even go home!! The stupid train got stuck or something (I hope nothing bad happened). It was just sitting there, blocking everyone's way. There were accidents left and right and people driving like crazy....people. ^^;; I had to call my dad to bring my guitar to the studio, because the musician was on one side, and the instrument the other!! OMG! I'm so glad we got home in one piece.
I have to call KP. And finish my homework. O.D. said I look pretty overwhelmed. Maybe I am....I never really thought of that. XDDD;;;;
Anyone want to donate to the super awesome and relaxing and much needed spa day for MidoriChi and friends fund, please, feel free to. ^_^ I'd give you a gigantic hug (maybe a kiss?) and bake you tons of desserts. Heehee... (Credit to Jaymee for the style) =)

Sunday, December 4, 2005aka anayufan's floorshow. XD It was really good. I absolutely loved it. I have never actually seen Filipino Folk Dance performed, so this was a first for me.
Yesterday, I was all danced out though. Heehee. I spent most of the afternoon at Michelle's house for cotillion practice. She was also holding video interviews for her slideshow, so that was a little scary. I had no idea what I was supposed to do. But her cousin, who was conducting the interviews was really nice. He'd done cotillion interviews before so the process was relaxing. I hope the sildeshows turns out to be awesome.
For some odd reason, I got pressured to do the first interview too. No pressure. Haha. It was pretty cool though. After I was done, everyone swarmed me asking questions. I didn't tell them anything though. It felt like when I got back from the Senior Retreat and everyone was asking questions about that too.
Then we practiced the Waltz. I felt a little weird because I missed so many practices. I hope Michelle's not that mad at me. >.< It was fun though. My partner, Dean, was nice about it. Maybe because I helped him out during the summer when I went to every practice. Haha.
So after all that dancing, I went to anayufan's floorshow. It was about 2 hours long. There was martial arts, and screaming, and candles being balanced on people's heads, and TINIKLING!! ::screams:: I love TINIKLING! But aside from tinikling, I really liked Burong Talo which incorporates martial arts. It's really acrobatic because at certain times the hawks jump on the back of the cats while holding fans and knives. Very cool!
Another dance that looks really elegant is the Janggay with the long metal fingernails. ::oogles::
Singkil looks really hard, but I want to learn that one, especially holding the fans and twirling them while stepping in and out of bamboo.
anayufan was really good at tinikling. And he was worried. He didn't fall once. And I was really impressed, because he got up to do the really fast part when you have to kneel in between the two bamboo sticks. I wished I had recorded more and sat in a better seat.
I took pictures, and then with my camera, I recorded anayufan doing tinikling. There's no sound, but whatever. He looks so cool. O_O
Now....must go and tackle my homework. Angie better email me soon about the Spanish poem or I'm going to be very grumpy tomorrow. Just got an email from her. ^_^ But now, I really don't want to work on the Spanish poem. It doesn't sound very fun..... T_T
[edit] After the recital, we went to eat at the ol' Chinese restaurant around the corner because it switched owners for the upteenth time. ::sighs:: Now known as the Golden Dragon. It looks really different inside. They shipped in new tables and ceramics. I really like the tables, they open up and the chairs are really elegant. The service was really fast too. I actually spent the majority of the evening using chopsticks. O_O I'm getting better Stephy!! Heehee... But just because we look Asian, doesn't mean we know what you're saying. ::frowns:: We got free dessert too. ^_^ And I'm not a usual tea drinker, but I drank a lot of green tea, too. I'm becoming more Asian. ph34r me! [/edit]

Saturday, December 3, 2005New month and a new layout! Woot! Happy Holidays everyone! ^_^ It's December and I only have one week of actual school left before finals. T_T It went by so fast. But I really want to be on vacation right now more than ever.
Guess what!! The TRAILER for Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest is officially up as of December 1st on Yahoo!Movies. ^_^ Go watch it! It looks really really really GOOD! O_O
I was talking on the phone with KP for approximately three hours yesterday. I miss talking to her on the phone. T_T It was fun. And then I got this random phonecall from Trent, a guy from my middle school, at around 11:00! O_O He's lucky I was already on the phone and he didn't wake my parents up. ::points finger:: So yeah, that was a little random. XD
I really want to go on a Spa day after finals are over. Anyone want to help pitch in for a group spa day? ::blinks::
Ponce looked all dressed up yesterday because he was working at Christmas at Our House. He looked all spiffy. Heehee...and then he and Stephy went on a date later in San Francisco. Her hair was all straightened and she looked really spiffy too. ^_^ I hope they had fun.
Got my Senior Portraits today. FINALLY! ::sighs:: They've been waiting to be picked up for about a month now. =.=;; I want more wallets now, but they're so expensive. Maybe I'll just scan them...
