thank god for winter break. 2 weeks of sleeping in, chilling out and [almost] no homework. yay! exams were this week, got them all done, hopefully i did ok. anyway the christmas dance was last saturday, and i didnt have time to write anything about it. well till now that is. :) i spent that whole saturday getting ready, got my hair done, nails, and kelly came over and i did her hair for her. and then kt came over too, and we all got ready together. the boys came to pick us up and we went to Ed Debevics for dinner. its a 50s style diner, it was fun. we got to the dance and met up with ashley and yeah. well most of the dance was spent in the picture lines, waiting to take our portrait style pics, ya know? and the music wasnt that great, because the teachers were enforcing the "no provocative dancing" rule, calling time out on some couples. lol sounds stupid i know. thats prolly why the music was so cheesy. well honestly, i did have a good time, but it was overall pretty weird. my only consolation is that i had a pretty dress. THAT is all.
watched the two towers yesterday! i didnt think it was gonna be that great of a movie, because its like the middle part of the trilogy so nothing much could have happened ya know? but i was wrong, it was really complicating with a couple storylines going on at the same time and the war scenes were so action packed! AND orlando bloom(legolas) and elijah wood(frodo) are still pretty damn hot. elijah's got these BEAUTIFUL blue eyes. ooh:) so lord of the rings part 2 gets thumbs up from me! :)
student council sleepover tomorrow at lexi's! it should be a blast, i have so much fun w lexi. crazy dancing and singing and being goofballs. ;)
oh well.

ah. its all good with the dress issue now. :) ash got herself a gorgeous black dress. and im glad.
grr. im getting caught up in this whole dance preparation thing. still gotta organize the dinner aspect. *sigh* no ones agreeing on one place to go. bleh. my date wants to go to some restaurant, ashley's date wants to go elsewhere, kt wants to go to the place we went to last year. i really dont give a damn, just so long its not like friggin expensive style dinner. lol id be happy with macdonalds or something. haha. i got my hair appointment down, 1pm saturday afternoon. hopefully i wont forget. oh damn, i also have to get a boutinneire (sp?), aka the lil flower to go on my date's coat. i know hes getting me a corsage. so yeah. lol last year my date and i didnt bother. hahaha. OH WELL. my dad says this whole dance is gonna end up costing alot of money. i agree. and i have to do this again for prom. holy shit. lol.
im having major issues this week. :( exams are next week. i think my school needs to rethink how they put the xmas dance the weekend before exams. such idiotic planning.
student council officer evaluations tomorrow. ugh, creepy. today in school we had this little xmas concert put up by the honor and concert choirs plus the orchestra. have to comment on this because the soloists in the choir, namely kelly, lexi and ashleigh were bloody brilliant! dammit, i wish i could sing like they can, its so not fair. and the drummer in the orchestra was [not] suprisingly what kept me awake the whole time. :) i have a theory : give any guy a guitar or seat him behind some drums and have him spin the drumsticks or something and they automatically become hotter. OR you can just put them in a nice suit. rawr.
i should keep my emotions in check.

so ive had one of the most shittiest weeks in a long time. and it wasnt even as bad as it could have gotten. i guess since i havent had such a crappy time, that when its just a litte bad, i start complaining.
nothing really bad happened, just alot of stress, school work, guidance counselor junk. any old highschool drama. times 10. lol. okok ill stop with the whining.
good news and bad news. i cant pick which one to tell first, because of the way the story unfolds. well im very happy because i managed to get my dress for the xmas dance. which is VERY good news, because the dance is next saturday. its a red, one shoulder long dress. i went against my one policy for dresses which is that I HATE GLITTER ON DRESSES. all that stuck on glitter which has the most annoying tendency to come off every single second, and it makes you like a little stardust dropping fairy, not that theres anything wrong with that, except you just land up with glitter everywhere, face, arms, legs, hair. DOH. but the dress was too pretty to pass up, and i really needed to get a dress no matter what, beause i wouldnt have any other time to get one. dont get me wrong. i love the dress i really do. and i guess the glitter will be a tiny setback. no big. i got my shoes too, 4 inch black strappy heels. yep, i shall be tottering around like a model on saturday night. not a problem, im pretty stable on high-heels. just hopefully i wont take a wrong step and twist my ankle. ANYWAY enough of the rambling. the bad news. is just that both ashley and i really liked the dress. yeah, of all things to happen. and i was standing there with the dress in my arms contemplating buying it or not. buy it=beautiful dress for me to wear to the dance. not buying it=no dress to wear. but i just felt like the biggest bitch ever buying it, because i know ashley really wanted it too. but the thing is that she has a backup dress to wear, which is one of her sister's. and its a really pretty dress no doubt, but still i know she would rather have one of her own to wear. but because i didnt have a backup dress, and i had to get one right then and there, i got it. and argh. it was just bad. so now the dress is hanging in my room, and when i look at it i just think about how i hate how friendship politics goes. if only there had been another way to solve it. shit. now i feel so damn guilty its untrue.
i love my friend. but i also love the dress.
she seemed fine with it, but i knew she wasnt.
grr. shoot me now, won't you?

wow, i havent had the time to write anything about my trip to disneyland. but im managing to squeeze this in while i do my super difficult chemistry homework. well. we drove up on wednesday, and i spent most of the ride either listening to music or sleeping. it was quite nice. we checked into the hotel pretty late and went for some vietnamese late-night dinner. delicious i must say. :) our family calls one dish "Opium Noodles" because i swear, they have to put some kind of drug in there cuz it makes you want more and more and you seriously get cravings. lol. anyway. we hit disneyland on thursday and spent the whole day there, it was so fun! space mountain, indiana jones, its a small world and the haunted house were just a few of the rides we went on, and i must say, i love the thrill of roller coasters. and the funny thing was ashley and i called each other and tried to meet up but for some strange reason we could not find each other, and so that kinda sucked, but it was alright, its not like i wouldnt see her again or something like that. ok. for dinner that night we went back to the vietnamese restaurant! it was that good! lol. on friday we went to the California Adventure theme park which is right next to disneyland, and i dont know why some people dont like that place, but i thought it was great! they had some awesome rides, and it was quite a pleasant experience. cant remember what we had to eat that night. hmm. well saturday came around and we dropped my cousin, grandmother and my moms friend off at Universal Studios, cuz the rest of us didnt want to go and spend the money getting in anyways. so mom, dad, my bro and i went to hang out with my uncle doug and our cousins Lisa and Laura. lol (yes, Lisa is the one who co-hosts the show The View, ooh fame. lol) and haha lisa and laura are the coolest ever. theyre like 20something years old but they act like my age. hahaha theyre awesome. well they took us out for lunch, and then i went dress shopping (which was unfruitful dammit) and then out to dinner again. and then of course, like typical asians, they "forgot" to mention that it was Laura's birthday! lol so her bf went and got a cake for her, and we sang a nice big happy birthday to her. we ended the night with a whole load of hugs and pictures. :) it was nice. WELL. sunday we had to leave, so we packed up and got back into the car for the drive home, except we stopped off at a huge mall and went shopping. damn, i went nuts and got so much clothes. heres the count: 4 rip curl tees/tanks, 1 roxy shirt and 1 jacket and a beanie from roxy too. and then i think i got a sweater from rockport or something like that. and just the other weekend i got a jacket from american eagle, a pair of jeans and 4 pairs of cutesy boy cut underwear. WOW. no more shopping for me for a looooong time. i feel so guilty :(
yah well that was my trip in a nutshell. a big nutshell. haha. well it was a really good weekend. and well compared to the week ive been having, lol. its only wednesday, but im already stressing out so badly, and argh. grades, exams are coming, im taking the SATs this saturday, the xmas dance is coming up, i have to tutor this freshman girl, i have 10 pages of sketchbook due next thursday, and theres alot more but i dont wanna think about it anymore.
i just hope i dont have a nervous breakdown.
btw, to my PL girls, :) i hope you had a fun time at prom, and i really wish i could have been there. aww. hehe

yep, so im here farting around on the computer when i should be doing my acrylic painting of my school's bell tower. then again, my art class is so difficult and my teacher is out to get me, so i don't really feel like painting right now. and when tomorrow comes around im gonna be thinking "oh dammit. i shouldnt have slacked off last night" . well tough luck, and i know im screwing myself over, but i honestly cant be bothered.
this week is a short week because of Thanksgiving, and so Tuesday and Wednesday are half days and we have Thursday and Friday off. thats good news, but still i could do with the whole week off, and dammit i have so much homework due.
april told me today that i look cute when im flustered. im flattered, but i think i look flustered when im flustered. now wouldnt that make sense? and the thing with me is that i know when im blushing, but it doesnt show on my face, and i guess that can be good or bad. but now i'll come to my point. since i was a child till now, ive always wanted to have naturally rosy cheeks. because i guess i look really pale with no color in my cheeks. but blah blah blah, i dont. just another one of my random musings, thats all.
they're announcing the x-mas dance theme on wednesday, but i really dont know why they even need a theme. no one really cares because its always some kind of "winter wonderland", "snowed in on christmas" or some lame thing like that. just call it the x-mas dance and be done with it. it's a little different with prom though, because the theme decides the decorations. but c'mon xmas dance? the decorations are gonna be the same all the time. snowflakes, wreaths, festive xmas-y stuff, even some HOLLY (excuse the pun, hohoho), well, no one can argue with mistletoe though. i still have yet to be kissed under some mistletoe, and i shall await that day eagerly. *raises eyebrow* i SO did not just say that. whoa. its past midnight, THAT explains it. i should be going to bed.
anyway, its 8th Grade Day tomorrow at school, and all the ickle 8th graders come and take a peek at our kkrazy school. a word of advice.. you better have time to do homework if you wanna come to Xavier. cuz it sucks. but then again, look at me, FaR from model student, thats holly. alright, this sexay biznatch is out.

so im feeling somewhat philosophical (im suprised i can even spell that) right now. partly because of ashley and her theories, it just makes me think more. not that thats a bad thing. but its not that good either, cuz then it gets me a tad depressed. i actually typed out a whole thing on what i was thinking, then i realized it didnt make ANY sense, and i just deleted it.
well heres the scoop since i last updated.
schools killing me, but hey, whats new? hmm, junior class tees are finally done, and i feel so happy when i see the girls wearing them on jeans days. i have to say sammie, they look fantastic, and im sooooo grateful and thankful for all your hard work. *hugs* hmm. my grandma and cousin are here visiting, and so we're driving up to disneyland for thanksgiving. no big turkey dinner this year, its gonna be DISNEYLAND! the happiest place on earth. and well universal studios.. hollywood paradise. ahh yeah. and the weird/funny/coincidental thing is that ashley and another friend are gonna be there at the exact same time. freaky, i say.
ooh x-mas dance update. i asked a guy if he wanted to go with me, but as it turns out he already has a date, so that was a bummer. but i can safely say i have balls, because i plucked up the courage to ask him. score one.(kinda). but, never fear, for i managed to snag myself a date regardless. or rather, for the people worried about technicalities, he snagged me? hehe ive been saying "snag a date" so many times this weekend, but i cant help it. yeah anyway, my date is this super funny hilarious guy who has the most amazing light green/gray eyes. sooo pretty. hehe. i should have a fun time this year. yay! my mom says i can look for a dress while we're in Cali this coming THANKSGIVING weekend. hehe thanksgiving(this year) = a long car trip, disneyland, universal studios, shopping!!!!! and then the weekend of the 7th, i have to take the SATs, doh. not good, im gonna have to study so much vocab for that. my goal is at least a 1300, but at the rate im going, its NOT good. THEN the Christmas Dance.. (awww), December 14th. coming soon. argh. i have to get a hair appointment and nail appointment. ive convinced myself to get my hair done up nicely and acrylic nail tips. now i just have to convince my mom. oh. and one more thing, i dyed my bro's hair again! blond and red streaks, the usual. hehe its awesome, i must say so myself.
now i have to decide to do chem homework... and btw, my chem teacher thinks im a ditz and that im stupid. OR i have to decide to sleep. hmm. chem or sleep.
i think you know the answer. SLEEP overides all other feelings of guilty homework conscience. zzZZ.

so. this is riotgirl, the new alter ego of holly, on a new quest to have a good night's rest so i won't be so lethargic and tired all the time. the undereye circles are nasty. and oh for those who saw the last message/bio up here, i've found my holy grail mascara. its Maybelline's Full and Soft. yay! and im experimenting with really dark eyeliner this week. i think it looks reasonably good, but taking it off is a bitch. so im not wearing any for this picture. and for those who STILL don't know, im a sexay beast. yes i am. rawr.
