FEELING: (= RESTED
I'm so tired of this layout. Time to make a new one...if I have time, that is!

So during the past few days, I've accomplished shopping with Jeeyoung and watching Phantom of the Opera. We bought awesome dawsome EDNA MODE SHIRTS YAY!!!! Anyway, Phantom was soooo good. It fully exceeded my expectations! It was definitely the best movie I've seen since The Incredibles! GO WATCH PHANTOM, guys!!!

Yesterday was fun! Caro made me wake up early to go to the Rose Parade Float Decorating with her and when her poppa dropped us off, the lady wouldn't let us in...at least, not until the next shift at 4pm. 4?!?! It was only 12:30. GEEBUS. So then we call our DEDICATED Key Club president Andrew cause he said he'd be there, working away. He calls us after we leave him 2394729358925 voicemails and tells us that he's at HOME cause it was raining and he was all comfy and stuff. Omgoodness! Thankfully, he sped (70 whooping mph, guys!) all the way to Pasadena to pick us super-dedicated Key Club people up as soon as he talked to us. So nice of him...not even peeing or brushing his teeth yet or anything HAHA. Caro and I had to spend an hour sitting in the cold and having Ron Carlos the security guard pity us HAHA. So Andrew finally picks us up and treats us to lunch at Old Towne Pasadena! What a gentleman YAY! We ate at Manny's and then walked around and got a cheesecake caramel apple. YUM. Caro got scared of a shoeless guy and a singing man HAHAHA. Anyway, it was fun and we both knocked out while Andrew drove home. MMM food coma! That night, Karissa, Jee, and I went to Karlie's to play. It was fun. Thanks for the awesome ice cream sundaes and A Chorus Line, Karlie!

Dude, break is passing by so fast. I'm so sad! I don't wanna start all that homework and apps junk. Anyway, I made an online photo album today! Click HERE to see! It has all the pics since freshman year I think. So many memories! The albums are in chronological order so the most recent pictures are at the bottom. Most recently (click the links!): Disneyland, Winter Concert, Dinner Theatre, Rancho Drama Festival, Downtown Disney, Disneyland with Choir, shopping with Jee, etc...YAY!

FEELING: (= THANKFUL
MERRY CHRISTMAS everyone! It's the most wonderful time of year and it's been awesome. There's been lotsa time spent with relatives, especially my darling little cousins. I've received some generously great gifts; thank you to everyone! So break has been good: full of relaxing and playing. I went to Downtown Disney with Shaina, Karissa, Franko, Julian, Jee, and Christian on Wednesday, which was tons of fun! I kinda have the mindset that we'll always get lost during our outings, but that's okay! I love Downtown Disney/Disneyland/Cali Adventure....I started screaming for joy when we exited the freeway! HAHA! Anyway Rainforest Cafe was pricey but just being able to spend time all together was the best part. Gosh I love them! Franko had to leave after that so the rest of us chilled at random places. All in all a fun trip! I shall post pics later. I've also seen Brit, Staci, Sharon, and Kyle but just for a while, mainly to drop off gifts. I saw Lemony Snicket's 'A Series of Unfortunate Events'. I liked it! I also got to spend a lot of time these past few days with Casey- awesome awesome. I love her!!!! Anyway, there's one week of break left and so much to do! AGH! Happy Holidays everyone!!!

FEELING: |= SICK
YAYYYYYY Winter Break is finally here!!! It's been sooo busy these past 2 weeks that I haven't had the chance to update but here goes:

Monday, 12/6- Blood drive. It was a pretty okay experience for me but i got lightheaded during 5th and by the time school ended, I felt like crap. Bad timimg, since musical auditions were right after school! Needless to say, I did not do well. The day was prolonged by the freakishly long dress rehearsal for dinner theatre until like 9 pm. AGHhh!

Tuesday, 12/7- Another late night dress rehearsal for dinner theatre.

Wednesday, 12/8- Musical callbacks, also dubbed the callbacks that never end by Christa. Really bad day. Another dinner theatre dress rehearsal till night without any breaks between after school and 9pm for food...torture!

Thursday, 12/9- It was the last night and finals for Yoga at Mt. SAC, which I missed because of...Opening Night for dinner theatre! It went AWESOMEly well and it was great great fun. Thanks so much to everyone who came: Casey, Itzel, Angie, Heather, Shaina, Arianne, Megan, Julian, etc.) Chilled at the Village with Thea, Jee, Julian, and Christian afterward. Thea looked sooo funny in Ten Rens with her makeup and beehive...COMEDY!

Friday, 12/10 Second night of dinner theatre, which also went really well. I was sad yet relieved when it was over. It was a good experience overall. Thanks to everyone who came that night: my parents!!!, the Tiffany's, Andrew, Eric, Chris, Mike, Scott, Jon, Betty & Henry, Marissa & Court, etc. I didn't play afterward cause I had to hurry home and finish the USC app by midnight. I barely made the deadline, WHEW!

Saturday, 12/11- I woke up bright and early and extremely tired for the Rancho Cucamonga One-Act Festival. It was a lot like last year and this year, we performed 'Assumptions.' I was sad by the judging cause we didn't place but judging's always really subjective and Karr thought we deserved better. Congrats to Shaina for getting honored for writing and directing the piece and to Christian for getting an Outstanding Actor Award! The best part about the festival was the In-n-Out and the bonding. Ugly pictures and talking were great fun! After the festival, Karissa, Shaina, Christian, and I went to grub at the Village and ran into other cast members. What a small world HAHA.

Monday, 12/13- Disneyland with choir! It was a lot of fun like the previous years. We had a nice audience when we performed. The rest of the day was fun too, thanks to my darlings Thea, Yumi, Jessica, Jojo, Brooke, and Austin! Man, the best part was watching the fireworks and snow. Absolutely incredible. I was really touched. ((((= I LOVE DISNEYLAND MM HMMM! However, the downside to the trip was getting sick. Not good.

Tuesday, 12/14- Felt really sick the whole day. We had to sing at Collegewood and I was not up for it at all. I did my best though! The little kids were cute. (= That night was the last day of English 1A at SAC and the last day of Mt SAC forever!!!! Shawna and I were SOOO HAPPY. AGHH SAC caused so much stress! Well, not anymore!!! YAY!

Wednesday, 12/15- The Thespians Christmas Party was really fun. As cheesy as it sounds, I really felt the warmth. Ahh the Christmas spirit ((((=. Thanks soo much to Shaina aka my Secret Pal for such an awesome gift. I really loved it!

Thursday, 12/16- Very busy day. Lots of tests that I bombed. Cabinet Christmas party was nice. Women's went to sing at Walnut El. The stage was SOOO tiny and I had the constant fear behind my smile that I was gonna kick the kids in the front row who were sitting 6 inches away from us. Goodness. That was the last time we were singing our holiday music (in a way, thank goodness!). The White Elephant Party in Drama was really fun(ny). After school, I went to the Key Club Canned Food loading. Working for a good cause really motivates you. I felt really dizzy afterwards though. That night, I went to the Key Club Cabinet Christmas Party at Carolyn's. It was a lot more fun than I expected; thanks guys! One of the best parts was going to pick up pizza from Bella Napoli (Thanks Megan!!) with Caro and Sam. Caro was a scary driver with her van. Too funny! The other best part was my gift from my Secret Pal. I loved it a lot; thanks Steven!!!

Friday, 12/17- Yesterday was Vicky's birthday (HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY, VICKY!!!) minimum day and gift-giving day! After school, Jee, Christian, Dustin, and I went to celebrate at the Village. Then Jee came over and we grubbed like no other. Then Julian came over to use my printer mm hmm. I kicked them out after a while cause I had to go to Disneyland YAY! I know, second time this week, but it's great like that! I went with Britni, Sharon, Staci, Kyle, and Erik. Fun fun. The funniest thing was when I told Sharon on Matterhorn that I wouldn't scream (since I was already sick and all) and right after I said that, I screamed cause of the freaky monster thing. HAHA you had to be there. Well, yesterday night made me sicker than ever and I lost my voice...not good. )=

Today was and will be spent sleeping and resting like a bum cause I still sound like junk. The past 3 weeks since Concert Week has been so hectic that my cold hasn't gotten better, but worse. I'm so glad break is here cause I can finally rest. I can't go to Tiff's potluck tonight with my loverlies, which I'm sad about but I shall drop off presents next week. Man, I'm so excited for Christmas!!! It's the most wonderful time of the year!!! (=

FEELING: =D HAPPY PAPPY
YAY SATs are over FOREVER! Gosh, I didn't even want to go this morning. However, I didn't want to waste my money so I took them. Whatever.

So Thursday and Friday were my last Winter Concerts ever! WOWWW!!! HAHA. It was so much fun and it turned out better than I expected! I thank Thea, Jessica, JoJo, and especially Yumi for making backstage SO FREAKING FUN for me!!! Man, Yumi and I had the bestest time HAHA. We made up hair commercials, stupidly random choreography, and gay dances. ENTERTAINMENT HAHA! OH MAN. Well, I really love show choir. Women's really rocks. Confidence Song, Confidence Bear, Pizzaz!, Jennifer's awesome homemade glitter gel, etc. I didn't tell much people about the concert but thanks to the people who came: Karissa, Christian, Jenny, Dustin, Debbie and her fam, Julian, etc. You guys ROCK! So after the concert yesterday night, Debbie, David, Julian, and I went to eat pho. It was interestingly fun. YAY I love fun people. I shall post concert pics soon!

After my last SATs ever today, I played with Casey and Itzel. SO FUN! We went to lunch at Pheonix, then Chinatown, then Camarillo Outlet. Man, I love the holidays, especially when I find nice gifts! I had a great time cause of these top 3 reasons: 1.Casey & Itzel, 2.Pheonix for lunch, and 3.my discovery of an AWESOME DAWSOME store =DDDDDD.

The rest of my weekend is gonna be spent doing schoolwork and crap. BLAH. However, now that concert week is over, it is dinner theater week! COME TO DINNER THEATER! It's gonna be great. You'll get dinner and a show!

FEELING: |= BUSY
So I just got back from class at SAC. AGH that class is so tiring and takes up too much time. I'm annoyed cause I found out that I don't have to take it cause I'm exempt from it due to my SAT II Writing score. Too bad I found out too late. There's 2 weeks left. AGHHHH I can't wait!

Oh another note, I thought Lopez was nice today, which is REALLY RARE. I mean, choir has gotten really boring and monotonous for me. Don't get me wrong, I love the show choir competitions but classical season is A TOTAL BORE. AGH. I'll get hyped up once show season is here. But anyway, Lopez was nice. Jennifer's xanga: "i got promoted in choir today... i was in the 3rd row for all the dances and i got moved up to the 2nd row... and helen got promoted too! yay! and amy and kimberly! yay old people" YAYYYYY "promoted" HAHAHA! Oh yeah, this week is concert week for WHS Choir! Come support us!

FEELING: =D AWESOME DAWSOME
HAPPY BIRTHDAY JEEYOUNG!!!

I always lag on updating so everytime I write an entry, it's long and usually about the past couple of days. This one is no different HAHA.

Thanksgiving break was AWESOME:
Wednesday after minimum day was lots of fun. The 'Assumptions' cast went to Shaina's for rehearsal. Thanks for the Bella Napoli, Thea mi amor! Well, we got a lot done and afterward, some of us ended up talking for hours. Oh man, it was especially fun messing with Shaina's little brother and seeing Shaina trip on her long toe and fall flat on her face HAHAHA! The bonding time was AWESOME DAWSOME!

Thursday, or Thanksgiving Day, was eventful. It was really nice to spend the day with family especially since I hadn't seen everyone for a long time. I had Thanksgiving lunch with my mom's side of the family. My cousins and I watched an awesome dawsome Cantonese movie called 'Infernal Affairs.' Omgosh it was SO GREAT. Of course, I needed English subtitles cause I only understood 50% of the Cantonese, if even that much. But dude, it was really great. The plot was ingenius. It's with all of Hong Kong's biggest stars (supposedly, cause I dunno who they are but everyone else did HAHA). Go watch it guys! After lunch, Rick took Harrison, Holden, Calvin, and me to watch 'The Incredibles.' AGHHHHHhhhh I LOVE LOVE LOVE that movie!!!!! I love Edna Mode. She is too cool man!!! Yes, yes...that's right dahling!!! After that, I went to Thanksgiving dinner with my dad's side of the family. So much good food the whole day MMMM. Love my little cousins. I had a realy great time. When I went home, I watched 'Samantha: An American Girl Holiday.' OMG I LOVE AMERICAN GIRL. Geebus, I always wanted a Felicity doll. Oh man, childhood...what a freaking great thing HAHA.

Friday was spent finishing and submitting my UC apps! YAYYY!!!!!!!!! I'm scared but kinda relieved. Man, that reminds me...I have to take 2 SAT IIs in a week. SIGH. Anyway, played with Vicky at night. We were mall rats for a while and met up with Chris and Eric and other people there. We watched 'Finding Neverland,' which was okay. It wasn't very attention-catching or anything. EH.

On Saturday, Karissa and Shaina came over early to work on a gift. Man, scary stuff I think HAHAHA. Then we took Jee out for an early birthday lunch at Mimi's Cafe. Then we went to Cue HAR. Here are some of the pics:

After that, I went to Chris' to do the "Be Thankful for Calculus" packet. AGHHHH Chris is relentless. No breaks or anything. But then, I like how productivity goes on. HAHA.

Today, I had dim sum with my family. I rarely spend time with my family so it was really nice. I also got the Mrs. Incredible (aka HELEN!) figuirine form the restaurant's vending machine thing HAHA. MAN I really wanted Edna Mode though. After that, I got my hairpiece for choir and then went shopping with my momma and my bro. Quite a nice time. Then I picked up Mich and Yumi and we went to Irene's to chill. OH MAN it was really great. We seriously talked about so much. We never run out of things to talk about. TOO GREAT AGHH! Then we got kicked out of the house cause Irene had to go back to Stockton at 7. ((((= AWESOME time!

AWESOME DAWSOME things to look forward to: Winter Concert! Dinner Theater! The end of the semester at SAC! Winter Break! Christmas!

FEELING: =D STUPID
OMGOODNESS today was too funny! First of all, I wore pants that were ripped in the freaking butt today and Eric had to tell me not-so-discrettly about it after 2nd today. I was nonchalant...-_-
atypical eric: i was watching americas funniest home videos today
twinkelNsparkle: COOl
twinkelNsparkle: what happened
atypical eric: and theres one when a dude does gymnastics and stuff
twinkelNsparkle: COOl
atypical eric: and he ripped his pants
atypical eric: and it reminded me of you
atypical eric: :-)
DUDE HAHA. Anyway, after rehearsal and McDee's, Karissa, Christian, Jee, and I went to surprise Jenny at her house since we were dropping Karissa off over there anyway. It was dark and stuff and when we pulled up to the house, Christian was gonna pull a prank and "ask Jenny to prom." So after debating it for an eternity (Karissa had to say, "CHRISTIAN, YOU HAVE NO BALLS!"), he rang the doorbell and a lady answered it and was like, "Uh...I think you have the wrong house." HAHAHAH AHAHAHAHAHA omg I think I peed in my pants...we felt SOOO stupid. Man, all that effort for nothing. So we sped out of there and it turns out that Jenny's house is the one NEXT DOOR. Man, the prank didn't even work. But anyway, here are pictures, thanks to Jenny!!!

FEELING: (= RESTED
[EDIT at 11:59 p.m.] I had a wonderfully "deep" convo with Sharon...one of the best I've had in a long time. HAHA! "AWH!" Thanks Pea! [/EDIT]

Disneyland- 11/11/04


Hollywood- 11/12/04


Wow, that was a lot of pictures! Anyway, my Veteran's Day weekend was great! Spent Wednesday night chilling with Mich. How I've missed that chick! Thursday was great 'cause I got to go to Disneyland and DCA with Brit, Kyle, and Erik! It was tons of fun like it usually is. I got soaking wet on Grizzly Run and it was not a sunny day. Lovely HAHA. Tower of Terror was scarier than usual- My throat was so sore afterwards HAHA. Then I went to Yoga and then to Jee's with Shawna to watch The Stepford Wives and some of The White Chicks. I loved themmmm!!! Friday was the day of the Hollywood TV taping. We were gonna be late so Franko's car and Danny's car left first. With them gone, Julian and I were trying to get there by ourselves- NOT a good idea. So the directions were the 60 W to the 101 N and we ended up on the 57 S near Disneyland when we realized we were going the wrong way. Boy, did I freak out, considering we were already late to begin with. So we turned around and by the time we got back to Walnut with the RETARDED traffic, it was already 4. We're supposed to be in the studio by 4:30. Wow, we didn't make it after all. WHAT A BUST. So we drove around for a couple of hours, trying to find stuff but it didn't work out. HAHA we're lost people. We had fun all the same even if we didn't make it to the TV Taping. What an adventure! We conquered the streets of Downtown LA/Hollywood HAH! I got to see the actual Hollywood Tower Hotel! Omg I was so excited!!! Oh yeah, we also got into 1 accident and 2 near-accidents. MAN HAHA. Anyway, we ate an overpriced dinner at Amagi on Sunset and then got ice cream YUM. Took tons of pics to waste film HAHA. Afterwards, we met up with Franko, Jee, and Shaina and headed back home to eat Korean food. Well, we watched them eat. Bumped into Sujin! What a productive day! HAHA. On Saturday, I got to see Once Upon a Mattress done byt he Santa Monica Theatre Guild with Karissa and Jee. Wow I loved it. They did really well!!! (((=

On another note, a lot of stuff has been stressing me out lately. I really need to scream sometimes. Things'll be fine. Anyway, I'm sad the weekend is now over but we have late starts this week! AWESOME DAWSOME!!!

FEELING: =D AWESOME DAWSOME
First of all, HAPPY BIRTHDAY KARISSA!!!

AGHHH I've been so busy lately that I haven't really had the chance to update...it's been two weeks! I still need to upload my HC pics but those will be posted soon!

Well, my week was great. I worked front-of-house for Medea on Opening Night and watched it with Karissa. Good job, everyone!!!! Saw a bunch of people. Afterward, I let Julian drive my car. I know, I know, how nice I am. After a scary reversal of the car, he did a-okay YAY! HAH. Good job!

I loved Friday night's bible study like no other ((((=!

Saturday was spent working for Medea again. It was fun cause Mrs. Aalund is awesome. Saw lovely people like Pea, Equally Strong, Superstar, etc. Then, in between shows, we got fed awesomely and then we watched Wicked on bootleg DVD. I mainly watched it with Karissa and Cassie. Ir rocked, from what I could hear. I can't wait to watch it onstage! After the evening performance (Closing Night!), we (Karissa, Chrsitian, Shaina, Jeeyoung, Caroline, and I) went to grub at McDee's. Funny funny stuff. So you guys, remember to come to the next drama performance in December- the dinner theatre! More details to come. It's gonna be great!!! (=

Today was great. I went to the "Discover USC" thing at USC and bumped into a bunch of people including Shawna and Sharon! Since Shawna and I were in the same group (cause we're doing the same major), we and our parents stuck together. It was all very intersting. USC is awesome but it's not my number one choice...but then, I'd be really lucky to get in! Afterward, Shawna and I, along with our parents, had lunch at Phoenix Inn in Alhambra- home of the bestest Chinese food! After that, my momma and poppa bought me a sewing machine (cause I told them it takes to long to make stuff by hand as I've been doing.)!!! I was SO HAPPY geebus. My lovely serger HAHA YAY!

Late update on my Halloween weekend last week, which was great!

Friday- went to bible study, which was just what I needed. (=

Saturday- stopped by Scott's casa and then went to a Key Club DCM in La Verne with the Carolyn. She was the designated driver and I know you guys have heard about the scary Carolyn driver stories and let me tell you how off those were. She's not a scary driver. She's a terrifying driver! Omgosh I think I screamed for my life during half the ride. So here's MY scary Carolyn driver story (althoguh I do have to thank her for the THRILL RIDE): First of all, she knows I'm kinda nervous about riding in the car with her so I keep reminding her to keep her eyes on the road and hands on the wheel and shes like, "Oh GOSH, don't worry! I can drive straight without my hands on the wheel!" So she takes her hands off the wheel to "prove it to me," and her car SWERVES RIGHT INTO THE NEXT LANE. I was like, "OMGOSH what are you doing?! What if a car was there?!" and she laughs 'cause she likes to see me in fear and junk. Then while we were driving in Pomona past the Pomona Fairplex, she gets stopped by a police officer to just check her license. Luckily, they didn't catch on that she's not supposed to have passengers yet. Then, she thinks we're lost and tries to turn left from a big fat intersection into one of the parking lots into the Pomona Fairplex and while she's doing that, the gate starts closing shut really fast. I start screaming cause I think her car is gonna get squished between the closing door so she goes "OH SH*T!" and starts reversing into the big fat intersection while ONCOMING TRAFFIC IS GOING 50. AGHHHH. Then while we're lost in Pomona in a residential area, she's speeding in a 25 zone and FLIES over the biggest dip in the world. AGHHH. So the worst thing was that she wasn't wearing her glasses (She sits 3rd in a row in Englisha nd can't see the board.). She was wearing her sunglasses like a granny though and when I asked her why she was wearing them like that, she said it was so she could see better and I was like "OMG why are you wearing your glasses?!" She says she doesn't like wearing them and the bridge bugs her nose. And yet..she wears SUNGLASSES. That freak. After not checking traffic for turns and other junk and being lost for like an hour, we finally make it to Roynon Elementary even though the guy we asked for help diredcted us to Roosevelt Elementary. We only stayed at the DCM for like 15 minutes too. DANGIT Andrew, give us more notice next time there's a DCM! Okay afterward, we went to eat at L&L and then went to visit James for a while. Then I went home and later went to play with Frunkster Joyce and Eric. Joyce desired to go to Cue so we did, which was great fun cause Joyce is master at decorating those Cue pics, HAHA!

Sunday- HAPPY HALLOWEEN! I spent time with the fam and that night, worked on college apps. Those got me so frustrated that I didn't even feel like trick-or-treating anymore so I stayed home and worked on the junk that's gonna determine my future (What a bleak one it seems like too.). I passed out candy to the trick-or-treaters, and Arianne scared me half to death when I opened the door 'cause I thought she was a trick-or-treater and she just popped out of nowhere. HAHA I LOVE HER. She played with me and we watched movies while passing out candy. (=

FEELING: =D AWESOME DAWSOME
AGHH this weekend was AWESOME!

Friday was the night of Homecoming game. Rode with Equally Strong and Mrs. Hung, which was fun. "Walk safely!" We won, of course YAY HAHA. The halftime crowning was awesome. There was a live camel there that Mr. Faren rode on to announce stuff. It's name was Norton and he was the camel that The Rock rode in The Scorpion King. Sometimes I wonder how ASB gets money for this kind of stuff. But yeah, CONGRATS to Tiff Chuang for getting HC Queen! All my babies were so LOVELY up there! I was so proud. I was very proud of my babies in the field show as well. Cheered my head off for them a lot, which I'm sure the people in front of me weren't too happy about, but oh well! HAHA. Then went to Christian's with Sandy, Jane, Sharon, Kyle, Jiun, Chris, Court, Andrew, Staci, and etc. Stayed for a bit chitter chattering and then Staci took me home.

Yesterday was the day of Homecoming Dance! It was AWESOME DAWSOME to the max! So I woke up and got ready and went to Karlie's where she and Brooke did my hair. They did an awesome job and I really loved it HAHA. Thanks so much girls! Then I went to Millie's for lunch with Jee and that was good YUP. Then went to Britni's where Britni, Vicky, and I got ready. Then the guys came and we did the corsage/boutinniere thing while Brit's parents took ten thousand pics. Then we all headed to Chris' house for big group pics. We waited forever for people to show up and then we all took a million pictures in Chris' awesome backyard. My cheeks hurt like no other. Then we all went to Souplantation for dinner. Andrew and I rode with Betty and Henry and it was SO FUN! We sang to Andrew Lloyd Weber and then the Mulan soundtrack. Gosh that was great. ---

--- Oh yeah, I could barely walk the whole night cause of my heels. Omgoodness. Andrew kept saying I was handicapped HAHA. Than goodness I brough flip flops. So after dinner, we went to the dance. Took couple pics and then waited for everyone to take them so we could take a big fat group pic. Then we danced, danced, danced all night! (That's from a song HAHA.) Well not really, cause I would get tired so then we'd visit people or play. Andrew was fun cause we had thumb wars and I won. HAHA. We also waltzed. We're waltzing masters. Oh yeah, took lotsa Kodak pics. CONGRATS to Sumo for getting HC King!! Dude, everyone was so spiffy and hot. I loved seeing everyone, especially people who've graduated like Franko, Julian, Charlene, Cecille, etc and people from DB like Vivi!! AGH great stuff! I also liked the favors. After the dance, we, along with practically everyone at the dance, went to Lois'. I only stayed for a while though. But yeah, HC rocked my heels and flip flops, thanks so much to my wonderfully awesome date, Andrew! Anclrew Chung: i was having fun and i was having FUN YAYUH! Big fat picture update coming soon when I get pics developed!

Today I attempted to do my term paper and only got half a page done. Then I went to eat dinner with Franko, Jeeyoung, Shaina, and Christian ebfore Franko went back to SD. We went to this Korean place. Yum. It was fun, like it always is when we go out to play. Karissa and Julian, you were missed! Now I'm home and I haven't started on homework. ARGH. But dude, what an awesome weekend! =DDDD

What a packed weekend and it's not even over yet! So today was the day of the Fontana Festival, or our first drama competition of the year. Walnut entered in all three categories: dramatic, comedic, and musical theatre. Karissa, Christian, Thea, and I entered "The Sonnets" in the Comedic category. Walnut did very well: 1st place Dramatic category, 1st place Musical Theatre cateogory, and 2nd place Comedic category. GREAT JOB guys! So we were running late getting to Fontana but everything worked out. When we got there, we performed and stayed for awards. Afterward, Thea, her bf, Christian, Julian, Karissa, Jeeyoung and I got food (funnel cakes YUMMMM). Then we went back home. An hour or so later, I got ready for WHS Choir Cabaret Night. I had the mindset that October is way too early to start performing but it went pretty well. Thanks to everyone who came! I got to see alumni, especially my darling Deb and Mrs. Pena! How I love them. After Cabaret Night, Jeeyoung, Christian, and I went to Bella Napoli. Thanks Megan!!!

Yesterday was great. Thanks to everyone who came and made it rock. Lots of love to Britni who was awesome dawsome about everything! (((=

What a weekend. Tomorrow shall be devoted to my trying to get homework stuff done and Homecoming shopping with Andrew YAY!

FEELING: )= SICK
HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY KANIKA (yesterday) AND CASEY (10th)!!!

So I didn't get a chance to update over the weekend. Along with the rest of the world on Saturday, I took the SATs- 3 SAT IIs. I signed up for IIC but I, being the retard I am, didn't know how to use a graphing calculator so it was IC for me! Lit was hard. Spanish was harder. HAR. SATs suck.

I got to spend some quality time with my dear Yvonne on Saturday. We, along with James, went shopping at WestCo for Homecoming 'cause the Ashlee-obsessed were taking over Brea. Yvonne was successful. That chick always finds good deals. I, on the other hand, didn't find a dress.

Sunday was great. I got to play with Casey. How I love her! Dim Sum'ed and then went to South Coast. I found a dress YAY! =DDD

So that was my weekend and now I'm sick. AGH it sucks. I always take for granted how awesome it is to be healthy when I get sick. Anyway, everything is really draining me out. I don't want to go to class later. Remember FRIDAY, guys!!!

FEELING: =D AWESOME DAWSOME
First of all, HAPPY BIRTHDAY YUMI!!! Also, HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAYS PATRICK AND ANGEL (yesterday)!!!

AGHH what a great day, especially 'cause I got to see 'Little Shop of Horrors' for ! So I woke up early for rehearsal at Julian's house with the college boy, Thea, Karissa, and Christian. We were somewhat productive and then Karissa, Christian, Brooke, and I went to watch 'Little Shop of Horrors' at the Ahmanson Theatre. It was freaking AWESOME. I loved it! What was even better was that we got there an hour or two earlier than the start time and so we got tickets for !!! AGHH! I mean, tickets for ! I love the first couple of Saturday matinees. We were so happy, dude! We even got our own balcony box during the second act HAHA. But yeah, the performance ROCKED. I was a happy gal YAY YAY YAY =DDD! When we got home, I picked up Jee and we attempted to go to Brea Mall through the side streets. Omgoodness we never got there. I made all these lefts, rights, and u-turns. I got so frustrated cause I hate being in extra long car rides, especially when I'm driving. So after spending like 2 hours driving aimlessly, we ended up leaving without ever making it to the Brea Mall. Isn't that a sad. Well, we went to Jun for dinner, thanks to Jeeimgenerous (=.

Yesterday's rehearsal was so awesome. We were all literally screaming with laughter. Oh man, TOO FUN. Dinner theatre is GREAT so far. I can't wait! (= After that, Jee, Karissa, and I went to visit Andrew at Togo's. He was so awesome and paid for our food! What a good sandwich-maker YUP. Coke got spilled all over the floor though HAHA we're retarded. Then we went to Big Lots where the FUNNIEST thing happened. HAHAHAHA, ask Jee about it. Okay then Karissa went home and Andrew, Jee, and I went to the Chino Spectrum. We tried getting ideas of what to dress up as Halloween. Quite fun. Then we ate in the back of Andrew's truck YUP.

I am tired like no other. I need to start studying for the 3 IIs I'm taking next week. Why am I such a slacker. I need to go to college. I'm STUPID because I totally forgot that the registration deadline for November SATs was yesterday. Now I have to pay late fees, CRAP DANGIT. AGH!

Well, tomorrow: rehearsal at Julian's again and birthday shopping with Brit YAY.

FEELING: (= A-OKAY
Man, I seriously need to stop procrastinating on stuff. Okay well, I've started personal statements, but only 'cause I have to do them for English. Unfortunately, I have NO IDEA what to write about. AGH college apps...how I dread them! ))))= HAHA I wonder if I would dread them less or more if I knew what I wanted to major in. Another thing is SATs. Geebus it's in 2 weeks and I haven't started studying at all for any of the 3 IIs that I'm taking. CRAP. At least all of this will be over by December. Well, my weekend was pretty good. (=

Friday was a minimum day (YAY!) and we were supposed to go to Disneyland but that is now postponed cause plans got changed 'cause not everyone could go and some people had to be back early for the game. So after school, Britni, EJ, Kyle, Patrick, Dallas, and I ate at Chili's and then we (minus Dallas) chilled at Brit's. Then Brit left for the game and the rest of us went to visit my awesome Pea's house where Sandy and Sharon have spent 5 hours staring at the TV HAHA. Then Chris came. Sharon's house was a melting pot. Literally. It was great though. Then I went to bible study, which was also great. (=

So I spent the rest of the weekend shopping (YAY!), kinda but not really doing homework, and planning stuff. I hate it when I call places and they never answer and when I leave a message, they never call back. It is quite frustrating. My momma is gonna help me call tomorrow though; I'm so happy. Hopefully everything works out! (=

Oh yeah, so senior quotes were due on Firday and I had no clue what mine was gonna be but I finally decided on: "Laughter is timeless; imagination has no age; and dreams are forever!" -Walt Disney. Yup yup.

DUDE thank goodness it's the weekend! This week has just dragged on and ON. I don't really remember anthing significant happening this week except for the fact that I didn't get a senior parking spot. I was sad. BOO. Well anyway, yesterday was the last day before Franko and Julian left for college )))))= so we (Frank, Julian, Karissa, Shaina, Christian, Jeeyoung, and I) played at Applebee's and then at Cue. HAHA. Hover over the thumbnails for a description and click them to enlarge:

Have fun, Franko and Julian!!! I hope they DO come back almost every weekend! That would be awesome dawsome! After that, I attempted to contact Joyce but it didn't work. Forgetting the cell phone at home is not fun. BAH I love you Frunkster and I hope you had lots of fun 'cause you deserve all the lovin'! Okay so then I went to bible study with Julian. I was so tired and out of it; I couldn't pay attention while driving. Poor Julian who had to be in the car with me.

Alrighty girls, when you try on stuff at Forever, don't let them put it on hold 'cause they'll "accidentally" put it back on the racks or lose it or something retarded like that. AGH that happened to me TWICE (not in the same day) and I couldn't find the stuff again. I try to buy stuff so they would make profit but NO. HAHA well I guess it's really okay because I'm saving money. =/ HAR!

FEELING: (= GREAT
WOW this week was very busy, especially since it was the week of auditions and callbacks for the fall show, Medea, and the dinner theatre, Chez Fat.

Tuesday was the dinner theatre auditions for me and boy, was I feeling really nervous and not prepared! Andrew the usually awesome SuperWaiter was not being his super self that day by making me go FIRST, just 'cause I tricked him into believing that I was a man the night before. Aghhh I HATE going first but I did it (SO not as well as I wanted to) and got it over with. Franko, Julian, and Laura were there to watch auditions that day and after auditions, we (Christian, Karissa, Franko, Julian, Laura, and I) went to McDee's. Fun fun fun! Then I had boring class.

On Wednesday, I had the fall show auditions. Auditions are one of the most nerve-wracking things ever, next to callbacks.

Thursday, yesterday, was the callbacks for both shows. I was very happy to be reading for the parts I got called back for, but I also knew that I couldn't be in both shows, since Karr made a rule this year that whoever has a role in the fall show cannot also be in dinner theatre. That rule SUCKS. Well, I tried out with no certain character as a goal in my mind so I would take what I could get. After callbacks, Jeeyoung, Christian, Julian, Laura, and I went to eat at McDee's. Man, on the way to The Village on La Puente, a tennis ball WHACKED the back right window of my car while I was driving and it rolled down and broke 'cause it won't roll up again! AGHH that is so sad since it's so hot these days and turning on the AC now doesn't help. Went to class that night, which did not de-stress me like I hoped it would.

Today came and I found out I'm in Chez Fat! I'm very very happy about that since I have never done dinner theatre before and this is my last chance to do it. My character is great (I shall be playing Carrie Quarter!) and I get to work with awesome dawsome people YAY! However, that meant that I'm not in Medea, but I already knew I couldn't be in both so it's a-okay. (= Thanks Andrew for telling me what you told me though!!! Dinner theatre shall ROCK this year. We are gonna get more publicity, I think! OH YEAH, so I had a scary and sad experience today after school. I was driving out of the parking lot at school and my car suddenly stalled and DIED. Omgosh I got SO freaked out and if Christian weren't there being his calm and together self, I think I would have cried. It was so embarrassing cause there I was, blocking traffic with my stupid car! These two GLC's had to come and help me manually push my car back into a parking space. How sad is that HAHAHA oh MAN. So then Christian had to call his friend to give us rides home. AGH when my dad came home, I told him about my dead car with the broken window and he said the shop can't tow it until tomorrow morning. So my sad car is still in the parking lot. BLAH hahah. Good thing it happened in the parking lot and not in the streets of who knows where or whatever! But yeah, no car tonight meant no bible study )=. However, being able to be home and do nothing is awesome dawsome too! Dude, I'm in such a good mood right now, mostly 'cause the Chez Fat script made me crack up about 2035721468835792835792 times!

curlytopmop4: yes you and your manlyness
curlytopmop4: helens a big ol' man!
curlytopmop4: that will forever stay in my "good times" memory

HAPPY BIRTHDAY SANDY!!! Also, HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAYS TO JOSEPH AND MATT (Yesterday)!!!

Today, I went to Living Hope's Sunday service with Irene (who's back from UOP for Labor Day weekend, YAY!), Irene's sister, and her sister's friend. It was really hot in the room. Long but good message. Afterward, I went home until Sandy, Sharon, and Kyle came over to chill. They (even Kyle HAHA) tried on their tutus and we just sat doing nonsense in my room until we went to Island's for Sandy's birthday dinner. It was Eric, Staci, Patrick, Sharon, Alan, Sandy, Tiff, Kyle, and me. Good times, good times! Happy 17th, Equally Strong! Afterward, I went to Mich's to play with her and Irene. Fab 3/5! Good times, good times talking and catching up YAY. Mildrey and Yumi, we missed you! We gotta have a reunion during Thanksgiving break!

So my momma's been gone for a week and I talked to her for the first time since she left yesterday. She's having fun so YAY. It's weird getting more freedom but my poppa's keeping me in check by not giving me total freedom.

THANK GOODNESS IT'S FRIDAY! The first week of school is now over and we have a long weekend to celebrate YAY! I need to catch up on sleep 'cause I've already started to fall asleep in most of my classes. So after school, I took my brother home and then met up with Franko, Shaina, Julian, and Christian at where else but McDee's! Man, it was great. They never fail to make me laugh. I love them! (= AGHH Frank and Julian can't leave for collegeeee! )= Then Julian and I went to his house. I, being the nice and trusting person I am, let him drive my lovely car today cause I don't like driving and Julian's a decent driver (so I thought until today). But NOPE, not today. OMGOSH, he continued making mistakes after another. It was repeatedly terrifying like no other. AGHH. He kept saying that it was my car's fault but Shawna handled my car just dandy yesterday. WHATEVER HAHA. But anyway, we washed my car at his casa (THANK YOU SO MUCH! =D) and then went to Stater Bros. and then to this one plaza to kill time. Laughed at Morning Glory's poor grammar, mostly. Then ate Subway YUM. After that, we went back to his house for a bit and then went to meet up with Austin for bible study. Bible study was good. Hard message. Now I am home and tired to the max.

I love yoga and how it makes me sore, really! I especially love how Shawna feeds me free food afterward! Thanks Buttmunchkin! =D

ALrighty, I'm here to update about the first day of school, which was yesterday. I am not a morning person to the least bit so GEEBUS, I hate waking up so early to get to school to TRY to beat crazy traffic to be able to get a dang parking spot. I'm gonna have road rage on Vejar for at least 15 minutes each morning. AGH. Okay, so my classes are pretty good so far. The people are awesome in every class:

Advanced Drama- So weird without the seniors. How we miss them! Well, the fall show sounds not very fun this year. My last chance for every show/festival/performance AGH! I dunno what I plan on doing this year for this class though. So much stuff to plan out. I'm so lost. BLAH!

Sigh, school is retarded though. I still can't believe the school year started already. I hate homework and lectures and tests. I'm so sick of it allllllllllll!
twinkelNsparkle: I HATE SCHOOL
LivinLIfeFranKly: yea .....i'll take you out when u cant handle it
LivinLIfeFranKly: and buy u dinner
^HAHA Franko knows me so well!

But yeah, guys, it's our senior year! I don't feel like it right now, but dang it, we are gonna have an awesome dawsome year, even WITH the S portables and overcrowded school (The freshmen this year number at a whooping 750. The senior class is at 600. Is that not A LOT OF ADDITIONAL PEOPLE?)!!!

Agh these are the last few hours of summer! )= I can't believe school starts tomorrow. Thankfully, I finished my journals last night. NO MORE JOURNALS EVER EVER AGAIN HAHA. (((= But yeah, I felt like there was hardly a summer break...how about you?! Geebus so my last weekend of summer:

Today, I woke up at 6:45 a.m. to drive my momma to my grandma's in San Gabriel. She's currently on the plane to Taiwan right now. She's gonna be on vacation to practically every Asian country for a month. A MONTH. Geebus, that is a really long time!!! Wow, I won't mind getting used to more freedom but I shall miss her. So after that, got breakfast for the fam and then went home. Then Casey picked me up and we went to her apartment. Finally got to catch up with her and Itzel. So awesome! How I've missed them!!! Then Casey and I went to The Circle of Orange to eat Cuban/Spanish food for lunch and to shop at the awesome dawsome antique stores! I got some stuff to decorate my room with YAY. Then we went to South Coast and did a bit of school shopping. After that, I got a haircut. Then got ice cream. What is it about ice cream that always satisfies us and makes us super duper HAPPY?! Mmmmm =D

Yesterday, I woke up to eat lunch with my poppa, my bro, and Rick at Maxim. Then Andrew and Jerry picked me up to go to the Key Club event at Schabarum Park. We spent 2 hours with other Key Club people from the area making cards for cancer patients. It was fun (=. After that, we went to Life to get strawberry boba cause Jerry swears it's the best in the universe. He drank 2 and half cups of that stuff. Crazy dude. HAHA. Then I went home and Rick took Calvin and me to run errands. I got a Car-Ready CD player thing for my car. Joy!

On another note, I'm so happy that my uncle is doing well, even though he's going through chemotherapy and everything. His family is going through hard times. )= Casey told me he's also been considering Christianity. What a happy and neat surprise! (((=

So Vicky woke me up today and we went to school to get parking stickers and then went to Brea to visit Chester at work. Mmm, thanks for the awesome dawsomely FREE ICE CREAM, dude! It brightened up my day =D. Then I hung out with the ULTIMATE NERD and Mister Superwaiter! WOW I haven't seen Andrew in the longest time. SO FUN. We attempted to watch Hidalgo but we failed at understanding what was going on so we ended up singing and recording stuff (with Andrew guitar'ing, of course) and being stupid. He gave us shockingly disappointing news, which I keep hoping isn't true. Then he left and Jeeyoung and I went to CFBC's bible study. Since I have no sense of direction, I didn't remember how to get there but we made it there by improv'ing HAHA and then by following Laura and Julian there. Bible study was good. The message was just what I needed YAY (=. Afterward, there was awesome dawsome food YUM. Man, conversation was too funny HAHA. Okay, now I'm home and I keep thinking about journals. I've had 15 left to do since last week and all motivation has been lost. Okay, I shall get them done soon...before school starts on Monday! )=

First of all, HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAYS CHRISTINA(25TH) AND CALVIN(24TH)!!!

It's almost the end of summer. MAN. Well, today was productive. I had lunch at L&L with Karissa, Shaina, Jeeyoung, and Frank! Quite fun and we were the loudest ones there like we always are HAHA. Then Shaina had to leave )= and the 4 of us went for ice cream at Baskin Robbins. Then Jee and I went to her house and wasted time. I ate awesome dawsome Korean pickled cucumbers. I love that stuff YUM YUM! Omgosh all we do is eat. Then I went home and Shawna picked me up for Yoga. We were so late cause we could NOT find parking. Finding parking is the hardest thing there, geebus. Well, class was tiring but fun. (= Then we hungry yogaites went to eat a late dinner at Upper House.

Yesterday, I woke up SO early (even earlier tahn I wake up for school) to get to Jeeyoung's house. Pulled up right after Frank got there. Jeeyoung told us to be there at 7:30 a.m. and she wasn't even awake yet. OMG. But wow was it great to see Franko again after he had been on tour/vacation for 2 months! Thanks for the earrings...you know me so well HAHA! So after Jeeyoung takes forever to get ready, we went to school so she can pick up her books and since I was there, I picked my brother's and mine's up as well. Then we 3 went to eat breakfast at a Taiwanese deli in Hong Kong Plaza. OMGOSH so good YUM. Then we went to watch Marci X at Franko's house. HAHAHAH that movie was SOOO stupidly funny. I loved it...especially the "Let's Wait" song HAHAHA. Man, Jeeyoung and I tried dl'ing that song but we couldn't find it. What a sad. Then we watched part of the WHS Winter Choral Concert from 2000-2001 and MAN, Women's was SO good that year! Okay so after that, Franko dropped Jee and me back at Jee's house and Jeeyoung the NERD cleaned her house until we went to pick up Karissa from Westco mall. YAY so great seeing Karissa again! She got her hair did and we walked around until we went to visit Julian and Laura at Julian's house. We watched awesome dawsome Lea Solonga on DVD and then played pool. Julian and I won both of the games YAY. Then dropped Karissa off and Jeeyoung and I went to get boba at Lollicup YUM. Then went to Jee's house to waste more time, specifically making an awesome dawsome VOICEMAIL MESSAGE for my phone so call my cell, guys! Then we went to my house and she slept over.

On Tuesday, I went shopping at Brea with Shawna. Omgosh so I got the shoes I've been obsessed with forever. They had the last pair in my size and they were on sale and everything so I was SO happy. Then I went to A&F to try stuff on and I accidentally left the shoes int here. I didn't even realize it till 2 hours later. So we went back and they didn't find them. Someone took them. I was heartbroken. That was so depressing. Thanks to Shawna for putting up with my brattiness =D. After shopping, we went to CPK for dinner and then went to class. I drowned out the rat-look-a-like teacher's voice by writing snail mail. AGH that class is WAY too long dude.

I'm consistently broke. BLAH )=

Then I dropped her off and went to Mich's house! I finally got to play with FAB 5...well, more like FAB 4/5 cause Irene's at UOP. We missed you a bunch Irene! So we got lost finding Maxim. Is that sad or what. We finally found it and had a great gossip-filled lunch and caught up on EVERYTHING HAHA. Then we had our Target date! Target rocks (=. Then Yumi had to go home so Mildrey, Mich, and I chilled at Mich's for a while. I love my FAB 5!!! Can't wait for a full reunion, hopefully on Labor Day! Then Jee and I went to my house and chilled like always but today was especially awesome dawsome because although we couldn't make CFBC's bible study tonight, we had our own little bible study and Jee...thanks SO much for the best talk ever!!!

Yesterday was the first day of Yoga. Even though Shawna and I were on the wait list and there were about 50 people waiting for the class, we got it! YAY

We had a nice, longgg talk. Thanks for everything Irene! I love it when we talk HAHA. Best of luck in college and I hope it's a great and different experience for you! Can't wait till you come back (=. After my Irene left me )= and 9 hours later, I woke up to go buy insurance with my momma. My parents are so great about the car stuff. Boy, am I lucky. After that, Elaine picked me up for a Disney day! Well, we stopped by Brea first and then headed to the happiest place on earth. Such a great day! I finally found someone who doesn't mind shopping there with me! HAHA. So we shopped a lot ((((=. We also saw Snow White: The Musical. I liked the musical a lot. They did everything really well. I think I would have liked it a lot more if I liked Snow White the story...but I liked it a lot anyway! So then I broke Elaine's eardrums during Tower of Terror. Sorry =D. It's bittersweet 'cause this was the last time I would be seeing that chick before she leaves for college. Best of luck, dear! I know you'll be GREAT =D. You better visit asap, soul sista!

AGHHHHH why can't he be nice and end it way earlier than that. I think I'm gonna be really lethargic during the year. HAHA but it's okay...cause Shawna and I shall suffer together!

I went to the computer fair in the Pomona Fairplex a few days ago. It was my first time at a computer show. My cousin said there were good deals but since I didn't understand anything that was being sold or anything, I bought DVDs HAHAH.

Okay so I woke up earlier than usual (so difficult) and got dropped off at Julian's in the morning. Watched him make a gross, nasty mixture of supposedly "edible stuff" for the obstacle course (SHUDDER) and then Laura came and we stopped by Albertson's then went to the church office. We then waited for everyone (like 40-50 people all together) to arrive and then off we drove to Bolsa Chica...YAY! Played and built an awesome dawsome sand castle. Then there were songs and a message- twas good (=. Then we played Steal the Bacon, Typhoon, and did the Obstacle Course (which consisted of the Blind Man's Run, the Iron Gut, the 4-legged race, Bat Revolution, Human Tangle, and the Human Pyramid). I can't believe some of the stuff we had to do...especially building human pyramids in the ocean/shoreline! A lot of us had just gotten dried off too. Freaking Julian, you Gamemaster! HAHA okay then we got dinner at Jack in the Box. Laura and I learned how to roll our tongues on the way there. We were so excited HAHA. So we three shared a Sourdough Jack, a Southwest Chicken Pita, and a Bacon Bacon Cheeseburger. Mmm fast food...'cept the pita thing was kinda weird. There were beans in it...and corn?! Okay don't get that guys! Then s'mores in the bonfire 'cept I wasn't hungry anymore BOO. Then I tried to sleep on the drive home but everything was too funny HAHA. YAY fun day 'cause of the beach, the sun, the songs, the message, the cool people who I got to meet or know better since VBS, the food, and the games...despite when I got home. Thanks Julian for inviting me (to VBS too)! I LOVE THE BEACH! Very cool man! (=

Oh yeah! Because Andrew is inspiring with the summer reading journals, I spent most of Wednesday doing Their Eyes Were Watching God journals. 30 journals to go! Progress! =D Next book: Emma!

FEELING: (= GREAT
DUDE today was FUN! I got to play with my Pea Sharon and my Equally Strong Sandy! We went swimming at Sharon's and talked forever and ever about everything. I got a major tan (DARN IT) and then Sharon went to dinner with her fam. Sandy and I dressed her up and she was Ashlee Simpson HAHA! Then Sandy and I dinner'ed at her casa YUM. Then Sharon came over again and we went to Jo-ann's to buy tulle and stuff 'cause we're gonna make tutu's! YAY Project TUTUs! HAHA. Then we went to my casa and chilled some more while I measured them and stuff. Sandy was camera crazy HAHA. It was so great playing with them again. YAY!

Yesterday, my fam and I went to visit my uncle and cousins. I love my cousins; they are so adorable. Yolandie taught me how to play chess. I know how to play chess now YAY! Then we went to visit my grandparents. That night, Shawna Buttmunchkin came over for some Grease and for some chitter chattering. We watched that awesome dawsome musical and talked on and on and on into the morning! So great (=.

Aghhh I need to start summer reading. I'm worried about the fact that I'm not worried about it yet. HAHA. Oh yeah, for those of you guys who got the UCR thing, are you obligated to go there if you fill it out?

So today was the last day of VBS. Class in the day as usual then helped cut a lot of cantaloupe then got beaten at pool )= (barely!) and fell asleep for a bit at Julian's and then Graduation at night. YAY I graduated and I got to be in a skit HAHA SO FUN!!!

This past week at CFBC's VBS was such a great experience. I learned so much; I got to know some awesome dawsome people; and I had lots of fun. =DDDDD Thanks Laura and Shaina Pancake!

There's one thing holding me back.

FEELING: (= SORE
I woke up so early today...it was difficult. Laura picked me up in the wee hours of this morning to go to Julian's church's (CFBC I think) Vacation Bible School. It was my very first time at a VBS and it was quite an experience. I learned a lot (The teachers answered a lot of my questions about Christianity.) and the people were so nice and welcoming and the songs, games, and puppet shows were so entertaining HAHA. I think I'm going for the rest of the week (=. So afterward, Julian, Laura, and I grabbed lunch at McDee's and headed to Julian's for a while (they needed rice to eat with their chicken McNuggets -_-) before Laura and I went to my house so I could study for my test really quickly. Then she took me to SAC and after the test, I went shopping with the fam and bought some stuff for my room YAY. Then I ate an Atkins-approved dinner at TGIF's. I liked it HAHA...but I don't think I could live without carbs though...TOO GOOD!

HAPPY BRITHDAY BROOKE! Okay so today was Brooke's sweet sixteenth party and I went there with Thea. Omgosh we had a heck of a time finding Brooke's house cause both Thea and I didn't have our cell phones so we thought the other knew how to get there but we didn't. We had to go to Thea's friend's house to use his AIM so I could ask Andrew for Betty's number so I could get Brooke's number. HAHA. Dude that was memorable. The party was fun; the Barbie theme was cute!

FEELING: |= MONOTONOUS
GOODNESS I am SO SICK of school. I'm quite content that Walnut summer school ended today YAY. SAC summer school ends next week but SAC fall semester starts August 16th. Why the heck is it so early. However, Shawna Buttmunchkin is going to be in my English 1A class. HAPPY HAPPY JOY JOY. I haven't had a class with that chick since freshman year..and that was PE. HAHA. Yep, and I also get to finally work out cause I'm taking Yoga for Fall Semester too. I'm a lazy piece of lard HAR HAR. Okay so I've been really tired and frustrated lately. I know, it's bad, but that's how I feel. I feel so busy and when I'm not, I want to play but I'm not allowed to play as much as I want to (and I don't even want to play that much). When I'm home it's depressing cause there's so many family probs. I have so much work/studying to do. I haven't seen a lot of friends this summer...I kinda feel like I'm disconnected. Okay I should just SUCK IT UP, as Franko would say.

So I was very fortunate and happy to have some people visit me this past week. Elaine, Jess, and I took care of some business on Tuesday. That day was also Kyle's birthday so HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY SUPERSTAR!!! Vicky visited me yesterday and we talked for the longest time. It was great catching up on the last month or so. Liz had dinner at my house tonight and then we caught up too. Too great. YAY.

Oh yeah, I got around to making the Key Club website. For those in Key Club or for those interested in joining in the fall or for those who are bored and want to see it, click here.

So this is what I have to do the next few week(s): SAC summer school, volunteering at the daycare with Thea, IIC tutoring with Vicky by Mike, summer reading/dialectical journals, license testing at Pomona (OMGOSH I am scared out of my mind for this...I would rather take a SAT).

xxxomgitsej: when are we going to disney land again
imnotdotcom: i miss disneyland
^Dude, these kids are too cool. Time for a Disney day again, you guys!

Okay, I'm off to watch Spiderman 2. AGH! (=

OH MY! My comp is FINALLY free of the trillion viruses it once had. THANK YOU RICK! I can finally BLOG! HAHA. Okay so I actually started on summer reading today.

Friday was quite eventful. Thea picked Jessica and me up for the Women's summer rehearsal. It was the same as previous years. As the years go by, I get more and more annoyed of Lopez. HAHA but I love show choir so I tolerate her. The reherasal lasted from 10am-12pm and we got some new songs. Attempted to sing them acapella. Wow did we need a piano or what. The bonding party got cancelled (BOO!) but Deb visited us YAY.Afterward, we went to lunch at Millie's and then picked up Jeeyoung to go shopping at Westco. Then Thea dropped Jee and me off at my house and we chilled like always. Then she left and Irene and I went to go play! We went for dinner at TGIF's and then watched Catwoman! Omgosh that movie is AWESOME DAWSOME. I loved every moment of it. Dude it was GREAT. Halle Berry and the Benjamin guy were HOT together. Very cool man. Irene saved my life that night. What a superhero. HAHA.

So I got my schedule on Wednesday. Feel free to get classes with me! I would be a happy gal! Here's my schedule:

1. Human Geography AP- Knox
2. Calculus AB AP- Jeng
3. English 4 HP- Dutton
4. Civics- Rampershad
5. Advanced Women's Ensemble- Lopez
6. Advanced Drama- Karr

Hopefully I'll get the classes I want for the Fall semester at SAC.

Senior year, please be awesome dawsome!

DUDE I am so tired; I fell asleep at the kitchen table today. HAHA. Man the weather has been ruthless. SO HOT. Okay so this weekend was very family-oriented and started Thursday after class when my uncle, aunt, and cousins came over from Houston. It's great when they're here, especially Colleen the COOL. HAHA. In the midst of consecutive/endless huge family meals with everyone fighting over the bill, chitter chattering, lots of people sleeping over, lots of congregaring, and tons of Kodak moments (Offical photographer the HELEN), here's what we accomplished:

Six Flags with Ken, RIck, Colleen, Holden, Harrison, and Calvin. I got sunburned for the first time. MAN. It was way too hot. I got some huge headache. Not pretty. Lots of fun though.

So they left this afternoon. What a sad. It was fun while it lasted though! But wow, I'm tired.

Dude there are so many family problems. Man, why do bad things have to happen to good people. )=

School sucks. The words summer+school never ever sound good together. It should be summer+fun+beach+chill+friends or school+tired+tests+not fun+sucks. I shouldn't complain since TAs are awesome in Physics and Psych isn't that bad. But STILL!

AP scores came. I was SO SO SO SCARED. I opened the envelope with my eyes closed. Jeeyoung wished she wasn't there. But AGHHH I passed US History YAY. I was so shocked.

Senior portrait proofs came today. Man ...

Thea, Jeeyoung, and I are gonna volunteer at a daycare! I'm so excited; I love little kids! I just have to remember TB shot this weekend.

Dude so I might just redecorate my room after all...well at least furnishings for sure! I'm one happy gal. I'm in love with WakeupFrankie again. If only I could wallpaper/paint my walls. I can't decide between 2 themes though. WHAT a dilemma HAHA.

Oh yeah, I really wish I had a sewing machine. Sewing by hand gets tiring after a while.

This weekend is too short. BAH!

Dude, just when I think it might actually be possible for me not to see Jeeyoung for one whole weekend, I was proven wrong. HAHA JUST KIDDING I LOVE THAT CHICK. THANK YOU James and Jeeyoung for visiting me today! We laughed at each other a lot. I love our loserly ways. Man, so Jee and I were explaining the tragic story of The Notebook to James and we started to get really teary cause that movie is just powerfully emotionally touching like that and he scoffed at us. What a GUY.

Yesterday, Saturday, was great. Played with Elaine in the afternoon. We watched The Notebook. CRAP I cried so much. It was soooo sad. SOOOOO GOOD. Someone love me DANGIT. It was amusing 'cause after the movie, everyone in the theater went to the bathroom to splash water on their faces. Harhar. Then we bought stuff! I'm happy (= I have a constant urge to redecorate my room. Then Elaine dropped me off cause she had to go work at Disneyland! That nerd is never there for me to visit when I go there to play. HAHA. Then my poppa and I went to buy a new battery for my car cause it died a few months ago. I didn't even know till I tried to start the engine yesterday since I hadn't driven it since last August. Then I taught myself out to back out and park. I suck. I can't park. How depressing is that. HAHA. That night, Irene came over! YAY I missed her bunches. We watched the greatest movie of all time, The Joyluck Club. Cryfest. Chocolate covered strawberries and grapes. Fun. That made me happy. FAB 5, we have to play soon! I'm having withdrawal dude!

Friday- HAPPY BIRTHDAY SHAINA PANCAKE!!! CONGRATS on getting your license! So that day was the end of first semester for summer school at WHS! JOY! After class, I went to get my permit again cause mine expired. DMV lines suck. HA, what a loser I am. But oh well, at least I don't have to retake 6 hours or wait 6 months again YAY...'cause I would cry if I did.

FEELING: )= SICK
OKAY I have a bad experience I want to share...about eggs. EGGS SUCK as of today!!! AGHHHH. So we had a lab to do in Physics today that required an egg, right? Okay, Carolyn and I forgot one so her poppa kindly goes out to buy a dozen eggs for us. Wow, that's a lot of eggs. We had about 5 eggs or so left over after everyone else took some (cause they forgot their eggs too). Now, we are hungry beasts during the class and we had no food whatsoever to eat today so Carolyn, Caroline, and I have the ingenius idea to cook the dang eggs in some way...to eat them. So we asked Braviroff for 2 beakers and we 3, along with Jeeyoung, washed out the beakers 2937592579 times, put water in it, put the eggs in it, and boiled the stuff in the microwave. At first, I put 3 minutes but Jee changes it to 6 minutes. Omg so when we finally got the shells peeled off and bit into them, it tasted like sick rubber and it was overcooked. GROSS. But wow, we were hungry...SO we ate the things anyway...without salt, or pepper, or anything! Omgosh did I regret that. I felt sick the WHOLE ENTIRE DAY. I'm already kinda sick, and that just made me feel worse. Not pleasant for my digestive system GEEBUS. So I wanted to throw up or something and when I come home, my momma had fried rice for lunch..with EGGS in it. AGHHHH I was so hungry but wow, eggs suck so I didn't eat it. Even the smell of it made me wanna be the toilet's best friend. So during SAC, I kept thinking about food, but then I would always imagine the taste of that rubbery, overcooked egg and wow, nothing sounded good to eat anymore. WHAT A SAD TALE. Moral of it all: DON'T EAT LAB EGGS, NO MATTER HOW DESPARATELY HUNGRY YOU ARE.

HEY iTZ KARiSSA: what does that teach you
HEY iTZ KARiSSA: dont eat lab food

^FREAKING EGGS MADE EVERYTHING TASTE LIKE EGGS TODAY. How depressing YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYAAAAAAHHHH )=

HAPPY JULY 4TH! I am quite depressed that I had to miss the beach with everyone but however, I had a very Carolyn-filled day. YACK! Har, just kidding! After boring driver's training, the nerd turd and I worked very productively on our lovely trebuchet report. Then Austin and his brother, Kevin, picked us up to watch Dodgeball.

Oh man I'm tired. Very eventful day! I missed out on going with my momma to visit my uncle this morning 'cause I was dead asleep or something. I was disappointed in myself. What a lazy, sleepy bum I am )= But when I finally woke up, I got ready for my senior portrait and then went to Jee's where she curled my hair. It looked awesome dawsome. I was quite happy. Props, baby, props! THANK YOU! Then Mommy took us to the studio and I took the pictures. Freaking, my cheeks hurt from smiling so much. I could feel myself looking deranged HAHA. Speaking of senior portraits... WTF its james: my mom made me wear her make up HAHAHAHA! Pretty boy James! Alritey so after the pictures, we went back to my casa and Liz picked us up and we went to play at DISNEYLAND! Yay another Disney day for me in less than 1 week. I'm a very happy camper! Anyway, it was Jeeyoung's third time there so we spent the whole day there kinda. So Liz got butt-raped by inanimate objects HAHAHA. She's also very coordinated. HAR! Freaking Jee screams so loud. It's not even happy excited screams; they were screams of terror..."OMG I'M GOING TO DIE, OMG AGHHHH AGHHHHHHHHHHHHH I HAVE HEIGHT-O-PHOBIA! AGHHHH" She was the loudest one in Tower of Terror. HAHAHAH dude I spent half the rides laughing. My sides hurt so much I could barely breathe. Man standing during the drops on Pirates rocks. So Jee is the only one I know who got truly terrified during The Haunted Mansion. COMEDY. Okay so I really love Disneyland. The Disneyland Parade made me want to cry tears of happiness HAHA. Man I need to renew my pass. It's gonna expire soon. How depressing. AGH I'M TIRED! But yeah, thanks to Liz and Jee for an awesome dawsome day! Very cool man!

HAHA so I was told recently, first by Julian...
JULianTHECOOLian: talk to you later!
JULianTHECOOLian: twinkelNsparkle: you nerd!
JULianTHECOOLian: sorry i'm just jumping your response

Oh yeah, Jee cut my hair yesterday. Wow, do I trust her or what. (HAHA YUP Liz!) She cut a lot. I felt like I was going bald. But in the end, it was great. Yup. Good job Jeeyoung! However, when I told Shaina yesterday...

My uncle went through surgery today. Please, please, PLEASE let it have been successful. This has been on my mind for forever.

"Theatre is a collaborative art, a universal means of communication that draws upon talent, skill, and intellect." -Guide to USC 2004-2005

USC mailed me their big fat book and that quote was in it about their School of Theatre. I like that quote! (= So Physics at Walnut is better than before now that I'm not late every day. Goossens talks to the "Awesome Threesome" a lot. I wish he wouldn't so much. Then I'd be able to nap more. But I got an awesome dawsomely long nap out of the movie today YAY. So we launch stuff on our trebuchets tomorrow. YAY I'm excited! Dude, Carolyn's poppa is a genius- our trebuchet rocks. We made it aesthetically pleasing after school today...another plus. Then I went to Psych at Mt. SAC. SAC started yesterday for me and it's pretty cool man. I would be more awake if I didn't have to just come from Physics. It's kinda funny how one of my most detested subjects is science, and yet I'm taking 2 courses of science this summer. So I have Fat-Cheek Syndrome in my SAC ID...it's kinda hilarious- my dang cheeks are unproportional to the rest of my face HAHAH it makes me laugh. But dude, I really need to drive soon. I hate waiting for rides!! Geebus, even my momma is tired of it.

So I really should study for SATs this summer ( especially for IIC. I'm a lazy bum. I need to tutor. I'm such a tard at math.). So I really need to do community service this summer (Shawna, Jeeyoung, and I have an event scheduled at the Walnut Senior Center in July but we need daily/weekly stuff. Sigh. More phone calls to do!). So I really wanna do community theatre this summer (Christian called the director person for Karissa, me, and himself. Then I called for Karissa, Christian, and myself. No answers to either of us. HOW GAY!!! He has voluntary people to be in his summer workshop and he doesn't call us back. What a tard! "I'm gonna be sad to the MAX!" HAHAHA Karissa!!!). Shawna Buttmunchkin really wants me to sign up for LA Fitness again (Yeah, yeah, yeah I need to work out again. I haven't since August. HAHA SICK!!!! Well, maybe I shall- later.) Anyway, a 4-weekend is coming up; that makes me happy!

Okay, I'm impatient. That's just one of my characteristics. One of my awesome dawsome virtues. HAR. Yup, so I need to have more patience.

Well, this weekend was and is devoted to the lovely physics project of making a trebuchet. Carolyn and I are useless. We've never held a power saw in our lives. What absolute GIRLS we are HAHA! However, thanks to her poppa, Austin, and James, we're gonna have an awesome dawsome, miraculous creation. They are so so so so nice to help us with 99% of it. GRACIAS POR SIEMPRE! YAYUH! =DDD

Report cards came yesterday. My grades are horribly depressing. I'm seriously not exagerrating. At all. Senioritis OH MAN. Help me...!

I really really need to drive soon. Nt only is my permit expiring soon, but I hate depending on others for rides. I think I'm scared of driving. Actually, drivers should be scared of me. I'm starting behind-the-wheel next week. AGH WATCH OUT HAHA!

It's quite cool 'cause EJ and Kyle like Disneyland too! YAYUH! Highlights of the day: Brit, Kyle, and me singing to BSB in Kyle's car; Sharon and me matching our ugly faces in each other's sunglasses; Britni killing my arm in Tower or Terror while I killed Kyle's; EJ getting owned in Grizzly Run; EJ's constant pessimism about all the rides; Britni giving me a heart attack in Haunted Mansion; Staci and personal space. After Disneyland, we went to eat great Japanese food in Honda-ya of Tustin. Afterward, I got dropped off at Jeeyoung's and I got to see her spankin' newly decorated room! It's 'awesomely HOT'; I totally love it! Then we went to my house and watched 'Along Came Polly.' I liked it a lot! I multi-tasked during the movie and cut out stuff for my bulletin board collage.

Pictures from this past week are in the future entry of Thursday, June 24th, 2004!

Wow so I haven't blogged in a while! I've been pretty busy but it's been lots of fun! =D

Tuesday- I went on a date with BFF Angie and Frunkster Joyce! We watched Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban and it was GREAT! I really liked it. It seemed a bit funnier than the last two. And of course, playing with Angie and Joyce rocked too 'cause I haven't seen them in forever. Angie is a scary driver DUDE.

Wednesday- Mommy took Jeeyoung and me grocery shopping to buy stuff for the beach the next day and then she dropped us off at Target. There, we attempted to find Jeeyoung a beachy outfit but she was being freaking difficult during the 194791732378958923 hours we spent in the dressing room. So we bought a bunch of junk and Alice picked us up and we went to eat awesome dawsome food at Souplantation! YUM! Then we went to Best Buy and bought DVDs to watch at my house! At my house, we watched the Joy Luck Club. Oh my I LOVEDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD it. It was so good. It was very much like the book MAN IT WAS GREAT. We all cried our eyes out. Then we ate dinner and watched The Truman Show. Very awesome. Jeeyoung, it's the Jeeyoung show! HAHA!

Thursday- HAPPY BIRTHDAY ANDREW!! So it was the AWESOME DAWSOME BEACH DAY!!!!!! YAY!!!! I woke up and made chicken salad for chicken salad sandwiches. Karissa then came over and tried the still-warm chicken salad but she liked it YAY. Then we went to meet people up at Robeks. Franko picked Shaina, Karissa, and me up and then we went to pick up Christian and then Jeeyoung. Jeeyoung looked like she was one of those people selling stuff at the Swap Meet when she was sitting outside her house waiting for us HAHAHA. So it was Franko, Christian, Jeeyoung, Shaina, Karissa, and me all squished in Franko's small car. Omgosh, us girls were dying in the back but it was okay 'cause that made us bond...literally. "JUST SUCK IT UP!" So we got to the beach and walked forever. First we had a picnic: rotisserie chicken thanks to Christian, chicken salad sandwiches made by yours truly, sushi from Jeeyoung, marshmallows from Karissa, and Cheesecake Factory cheesecake from Shaina. Dude everything was sooooo good. We had a freaking FEAST. However, Franko the Forgetful didn't bring the drinks he was supposed to bring so we were dying. Christian and he goes off to buy drinks and what do you know, they come back with ONE. HARhar. So even though we are all pigs by nature, we still didn't finish the food. Then we went to play in the water while the seagulls attacked our food and pooped on Jeeyoung's mat geebus HAHAHA. Poor Jeeyoung got attacked and pushed into the water so mnay times by Franko. So I didn't want to get soaked yet but of course, everyone splashes Shaina and me while we still had clothes on THANKS. So after we took off the clothes, Franko drags me in the water. So everyone tries to go in deep and I drowned kinda but Karissa saved my life HAHAA. The waves were fun. Eevrytime there was a big wave coming, Karissa and Frank shouts "BIG ONE!!!" in a Southern accent HAHHA. So after a long time staying wet and pruny and salty, we head to tan. We dared Jeeyoung to flap her arms like a bird and run around this woman shouting "I'm beautiful!" 3 times. HAHAHAHAH it was SO HILARIOUS 'cause she did it like 15 times. HAHAHA. What a nerd. Okay then we played volleyball and this game Franko taught us but we're fat and out of shape and can't keep running all the time so we quit HAHA. Then we played in the water some more and took a bazillion pictures until we packed up. Jeeyoung touched seagull poop HAHAHAHHHA. Yes then we showered and as Chrsitian said "Yes, doing it togeeher makes it a bonding experience." Then we went to eat at Lucille's in Brea. It was everyone's first time and it was really good even though it was kinda expensive. Poor Karissa was dying from the Creole spices. Man the restaurant was cute...very southern. We had an awesome table on a little platform all to ourselves. I couldn't eat much and I felt like I was gonna be sick. But man, we talked about everything like usual. So we toasted each other and the past year and it was great. I'll always remember it. Then we went to Cue to take pictures. It didn't beat the first time experience but it was fun nonetheless! AWESOMELY GREAT DAY!!! I can't wait to see pictures dude but Thea, Julian, and Andrew: you were missed!


Friday- I woke up to find out that Mommy, Calvin, and I would be spending the night in Oxnard. We drove long hours to the boonieland for Holden's graduation. We first stopped by Uncle Prestine and Aunt Christine's donut shop and freeloaded off the bakery goods YUM. Then we headed to the house until it was time to go to Pacifica High School for the Class of 2004's Graduation. So WHS Women's Ensemble has competed against Pacifica's show choir and that's how I knew about them. They stuck out in my mind 'cause both our choirs had the same dresses HAHA! Anyway, it was Pacifica's first graduation 'cause they opened the school 3 years ago and my cousin Holden had transferred there as a sophomore. His class was the first graduating class in the school's history. It was nice and stuff. Lots of family moments. I was the official photographer and Calvin was the video recorder. The video was hilarious when we watched it that night. After graduation, Ricky, Holden, Calvin, Melanie, Harrison, Harrison's friend, and I went to eat at Applebee's thanks to the graduate. HAHA. Then we went back to the house and watched Spiderman till we fell asleep.

Saturday- Woke up and waited for the bathroom for forever and then we all went to eat pho. The Mommy, Calvin, and I headed back to Walnut. Omgosh I hate long car rides. I was so tired afterward. WHen we got home, Vicky picked me up and we headed over to Britni's and then went to Sharon's for Sharon and Tiffanie's 17th birthday party. There was SO MUCH FOOD; it was great! So it's always great seeing everyone (= Playing in the moonbounce was fun but I am just not coordinated like that. Patrick owned me in there and I died HAHA. So Vicky, Britni, and I were gonna go swimming but it was cold but Alfonso splashed us till we're soaked so we had no choice. Omgosh the water was so cold but it was fun. Poor Sharon got thrown in so many times, even after she got cleaned up. So we watched a lot of music videos, which is a must at Sharon's. Then there was cake and presents and Tiff got some hilarious erotica picture books HAHAH and those got passed around for viewing. HAPPY BIRTHDAYS TIFFANIE (19TH) AND SHARON(24TH)!!!!!!

Alright so this took me a while to write 'cause I'm talking to Jeeyoung on the phone and she's begging to visit me today 'cause she's going through Helen withdrawal 'cause she hasn't seen me in 2 days. HAHAHA just kidding. So I now have inspiration for a new layout...I'm so excited! It will be up shortly (=
