The year is coming to the end and it's about the time to reflect on the good and the bad of the year. The year seem to have started off pretty fast back in january and febuary but then it started to slow down kinda. There hasn't been much that happened to me this year... it seems like the only thing i'll probably remember from this year is hosa conference and summer school. Hosa conference seem like the best time i've had. It seem like a glance into a possible life in college. Living right next and across from each other. Going into other's room to mess around. Eating nothing but ramen. Occasionally studying. Yup those were some good times and hopefully i'll see more of it later on. Summer school... i wouldn't really say summer school was fun but it wasn't all bad. I kinda enjoyed doing those skits in that class. I also liked playing baloncesto haha. hmmm sitting here thinking about this year, it seem like it's been a big blur.. can't really think of stuff that stands out. I guess another thing could be me starting to drive. I remember those times when i'm driving where i thought death could be around any corner waiting, either my death or someone else's death that was walking on the sidewalk haha. yup i guess that this year was kinda a boring year or just a mysterious year to me right now. It's new year's eve, hope everyone enjoy shedding the old year and the old you and have a fun and nice start to the new year once the clock hit's 12:00.
Today is the second day of winter break, and i have yet another day of nothing to do. I'm pretty sure everyone has had those moments where they just feel like doing something, right? Like you're going through you're normal day, and you all of a sudden feel like doing something that you normally dont do. Like go for a walk. Or just feel like eating something. Right? well, i had the sudden urge to clean ._. i dont know why but i did. I started to clean my room around like 1:30 and i was finished around 4... that's how messy it was.. In my room i have these two boxes FILLED with paper. I call it my recycling boxes, but i dont actually recycle them i just leave them in the box and watch it fill up. Those boxes were like my #1 priority of clearing out today. So i started to dig through them, looking through each one to see if i should throw it away or not. So much assignments and stuff from school. In there i found alot of thibedou's math notes, graded work from all classes, and buried deeeeeeep down are couple of failed chemistry and physic tests..... T-T nothing says fml likes digging back up old chemistry tests and reliving the discovery of a bad test grade. After i was finally done going through the boxes and many brief moments of depression after seeing some chemistry grades, i had 2 paper bag full of papers to recycle. After that i had to clean our my desk drawers which also contains much unless paper stuffed inside, but more neatly (inside folders). So i went through each folder and looked inside at each paper. haha in my drawer i found alot of memories from middle school and even elementary. I found my middle school year books, i found some kind of journal or something from elementary where it had a picture of me carrying a log (for some reason..) and being chubby. I have no relocation of this happening. I also found a folder containing my elementary school work. haha it's funny how i wrote back then and the way i think back then.
I found these two work of mine particularly interesting;
So yea, i would probably say that my cleaning was a sucess. I have a bit more room now and i got rid of all those papers :] Now my room shall be uncleaned for probably the next 3-4 months, or until my mom starts nagging and saying that i might as well live with the bums... -.- well aleast the bums dont nag hehe >:]
I think i'm gonna stop using tumblr cause it seems that people dont really use tumblr to blog. They mostly use it to post random pictures and stuff. haha and i'm totally basing this on elizabeth's tumblr. so i'm gonna tranfer my tumblr blogs over to blogger.
I GOT THE TOWELS AND SOCKS!! UHHHHHHHHHHH! hahaha totally sweet.
But seriously black friday is kinda over rated and theres not much of a big deal. Every year people get excited for it eventhough items aren't that much cheaper. but regardless of that, people still go very early to buy any random stuff they somewhat think they need. so like 2 hours ago i woke up and i went to walmart with my mom and dad to walmart to look around and maybe buy a new microwave haha. when i entered the door i saw this big mob of people, as expected, with carts full of stuff. It was shocking to me how the lines to the register was longer than the lunch line at school. i actually saw a line going towards the back to like the jewelery section AND then make a U-turn towards the register. I was standing there holding a 4gb usb that i wanted to buy but i saw the line and i was like hecks no. when i was near the back i saw a mini line. i was wondering what it was. and it turned out there was even a line for the bathroom.. -.- so we left after seeing that the microwaves were gone or something. Then we decided to go to fred meyers for some good o' socks haha, well we mainly wanted to buy some towels. So we walked into fred meyers. the first thing i was thinking about was the free donuts and juice haha. cause that's the only thing i see worth coming for besides maybe the socks (but who really needs new socks every year..) anyway i walked past all those crazy sock's box diggers and went for the towels and got some nice soft towels :D paid and left. haha after i was leaving and walked past the line for donuts and juice/coffee my dad goes "go line up for some donuts" i was like i don't really want any. he then goes "get some and bring it home" and i said that you only get like 3 mini donuts. hahaha and then he said "what? i thought you get the whole box" hahahahaha asian to the extreme haha. me and my mom just laughed at him. well now i'm gonna go and sleep for a little.
Hope everyone had a nice day. Ate and spend some time with your family. I myself had a pretty boring day. I stayed home kinda all day watching tv and playing a little amount of game. Dinner we had alot of food, kinda. Being that i'm asian, i don't get the traditional white thanksgiving meal of turkey, pie, and stuff. I had lobster, oyster, roasted duck, roasted pork, and another seafood thingy i don't know how to say in english. Yea. I barely ate, those aren't really my kind of food but i did eat some lobster and roast duck. Because i ate those, i now have a swollen (kinda) eye because of how chinese people call it "hot air" haha. i had pizza yesterday and today those food, so if you're chinese you would understand what i'm talking about. so my eye is like puffy on the bottom of my eye and i now have a bit of a sore throat/cough. But i think i'll be fine after a night of rest. but not much of it since i'm probably gonna go shopping a bit. not like those crazy, lining up outside for 75% off shopping, just a normal calm shopping at walmart or something. I don't really have anything i want to buy; material things. If you're gonna go do the crazy black friday shopping, i hope you guys are safe and warm when you're out and about. so yea, school is almost here again, i'm once again stressed. so yea, Happy Birthday(yesterday) to Eric(a) >:]
So today i decided to walk around lloyd with joanna to catch up on some late birthday presents. so we were walking around and we walked into hot topic. You know how sometimes the alarm for a store just goes off for no apparent reason? well when we walked in, it went off. i didn't think any of it and just continue to walk around the store. we looked around and decided to leave. When we walked out, it went off again. Normally i would just walk off and dont care about it, but i stood there and gave the classic look of "hmm? me?" the store employee came over and asked us to walk through the doors again. so we did and it went off again. He than began to question us whether we have something that could've possibly set it off. we said no. He than started to ask joanna to show what she had in her backpack haha. so she slowly opened each pocket and showed what's inside. tested each item that she had that could've set it off but he found nothing. But what pissed me off was when he was searching her backpack, he asked "if you stole something, it's better to come clean now and not make a big deal of it" that pissed me off hella. i've never been accused of stealing. after a while he found nothing. so he told us to walk through the door without our backpacks, nothing happened. so then he started to test each backpack individually, nothing. So finally he walked through the door with both of our backpacks in hand, nothing. He then set our backpack outside,turned to us and said "you guys are good. guess it was just your "attractive personalities" that set off the alarm." -.- fack you...
Dont you just hate it when you're eating rice and you're slurping the fast and the furious. Then all of a sudden one rice grain decides to be the rebel and goes down the other tube causing you to choke and cough. grrr very frustrating but i go back to eating the same pace anyways :D Also i hold my chop sticks crossed. i don't know if that's the right way but that's how i've done it since i was little.
Also don't you hate it when people call you and got the wrong number? I've had that happen to me twice or three times and they were all in the morning. I get awoken by the ever so hated sound of my phone vibrating at 8 on the weekends. I pick up so they don't call again. I answer in my half drooling and half awake tone.
"Hello..?" "is this where i can reach _____?" "who?" "sorry ive got the wrong number" *hangs up* me: -.- f*ck you...... not even a goodbye..
Another time an chinese lady called me... "Hello?" "who are you" me: wth... you don't call me and question who i am..... "Who are you looking for?" "is this grandma ___" (chinese way of elders calling each other) "no i've think you got the wrong number" "who are you? whats your name" me: my goodness.. why would you ask me questions when you've got the wrong number... how do i hang up on a old lady... i'm gonna do it anyways... *hang up*
haha so today at adventist while i was doing my clinical/volunteer work, there was this black male nurse that keeps on insisting that i look like bruce lee. haha he said that i just got that look, that look saying "dont mess with me o.O" and that i have his hair or something and i was just like O.O haha while i was doing an iv run, i ran into him again and this time he pointed me out infront of other nurse at the nursing station. he said to them what he said to me and then he had me go and do a like kung fu with him. kinda like this but like the wrist are like touching. haha it was weird doing it infront of nurses, but i can tell that the guy was trying to make his and my work fun. and i feel like he makes being in the health field not so bad. haha so anyways, next time you see me just remember, I DONT PLAY!
sigh... just today i realize that i forgot my usb when i plugged it into a school's computer to print out my blood lab for mrs lloyd's class... sigh.. i knew someday this will happen. my usb is just so small and it's easy to forget it... it was a 8gb too.. so now all i can do i hope that when i go back to school on monday that i would go to the librarian and ask if she seen my usb and someone would be kind enough to of turned it in.. sigh.. everyone gets a bite from reality, i guess it's my turn. something like this just throws your whole day off...
haha so today jim told me to go to the volleyball game at franklin. Seeing that i don't have homework tonight, i decided to go. we went, paid a dollar and got in. Sat in the "benson" side of the gym which was pretty empty. me, jim, khanh, jing, and shawn was pretty much the cheerleaders for benson. haha during the whole game, we pretty much made fun of volleyball plays and a certain volleyball player from franklin which we called mammoth because she was so big. haha everytime "mammoth" does something we'll be like "f*ck you mammoth! go back to the iceage" haha funny. i definitely had fun cheering and making fun of plays that franklin did. :D
Right now, as I type, i'm getting a bit of pain from where i stabbed myself from the blood type lab. Today in Medical Profession Survey class we were doing the blood type lab. It requires you to stab yourself on your finger tip, getting the blood to drop on this antigen sheet of paper. People we're quite scared from that tiny needle poking into their finger tip. I've done this before at home, where my mom had me do this home blood sugar test, so i wasn't scared. People were too scared to poke themselves, so mrs lloyd had to do it for them most of the time. After i poked myself, i got the blood on the paper, the blood started to kinda slide down my finger, making a mess on my hand. but yea, i did the lab no problem. Found out i'm a O blood type which i believe that means i can give blood to both A and B type people. I feel like with O blood type i was meant to give blood, so i'll do that next year when i'm 17 cause my parents won't let me. haha after Joanna poked her, she went pale. haha it looked like she just gave blood or something. hilarious. took her like 10 min after the lab for her to return to normal looking ish. haha i can't imagine how wilson will be like.
A lot of people are getting sick these days. I have been. Been kinda sick the last 4-5 days. Feeling a lot better these last 2 days. Well none the less, like 2 weeks ago i signed up for a free flu shot today at adventist. I got a prearranged absence and left after 5th period. It felt weird being the only student walking away from school. But i didn't want to stay there for another 2 hours anyways, so i'll take the shot instead of school anyday. So as i was walking towards the max, i was near that one park lot place, and in the bush kinda, i see a man facing the wall. He was peeing... -.- seriously... that was gross.. in public.. hmm should i have called the police? i wasn't really sure tho, but it's kinda obvious what he was doing. Oh well. I continued to walk and got on the green line. I got to main street around 2 and my appointment was at 2:30. I went into the volunteer office and said i was there for the flu shot. I filled out a form and Donna said that there was a big gap difference between the sign up sheet. There was a 2 hour gap between the person that went before me and me so the nurse decided to take a break. so i had to sit and wait for like 20 min. after 20 min, i went to the office for the shot and when i got there the nurse said i need parent consent for the shot and told me to go back to the volunteer office and have Donna call my parents cause the nurse herself was too busy to do it for me. she was just sitting at her desk waiting for people to come in.. there was no one waiting.. anyways, i went back. but donna wasn't there.. i stood there waiting for another 20 min before someone told me she was at this meeting. so i went there to look for her. apparently someone was retiring and they had a thing for her. so after that, i found Donna and we went to make the call. so finally, after 40 min of total waiting i finally could get my shot. As the nurse gave me the shot, it felt different then the one i've gotten in the past. Then the nurse said "sorry that didn't go in right" i was thinking what?! does this mean i have to retake it?! but then she said "it didn't go in as smoothly, i'm sorry." she didn't have to regive me the shot, so i left. When i was on the max going home, some kid from Madison or something got caught without bus fare for the max by the police haha. That pretty much ends my boring tale of my day. i'm sorry if you had to read all this and felt it was pointless :D
Hahaha so today i was in the universal lab with my health occ class. i was doing my work, i was looking up information on asthma. next to me was mary. she was semi working(?) i guess but then she went on urbandictionary.com. i don't know why but yea. she decided to type in my name. when on urban dictionary you would expect stupid and immature definitions from people cause urban dictionary lets you put in your own definition of words. so mary was looking through some and then we found one that was very interesting but to me it was kinda scary. here is the second definition after we searched up my name
"John
a very extreamly confusing guy. shows that he has feelings for you sometimes, but then might just randomly stop talking to you at any time. veryy flirtatious. manwhore. willll lead you on. halarious. full of charisma. you have to love him. boys are jealous of him. girls are jealous of the girl he is flirting with at the time.. not persistant. changes moods easily; moody. greatest, most annoying person on the face of this earth..yet i still want to be with him.."
o.o holy crap. it actually does sound like me. the annoying, moody?, and i'm not sure about the charisma part. but yea! seriously, seems like a stalker or something. idk pretty weird and unexpected. haha mary also looked up shawn on urban dictionary. pretty funny, read for yourself
"Shawn
Shawn is a common name given to extreme homosexuals. This person is so far into the closet and afraid to tell anybody how gay they are that they pledge their love for girls named Kelly. Shawn is obsessed with masturbating and does it while he is in the waiting lobby for games of halo 3. Shawn's true love is toward Matt, who is the reason Shawn will play halo 3 even though he sucks hard blistering meat sticks. Shawn loves to yank his crank to the sound of Matts voice. Shawn often looks to Billy for his lifes purpose, which there is cleary nothing for Shawn in life but pure failure."
Haven't blogged in like 2 weeks. Mainly cause my life has been boring and nothing exciting ever happens to me. Or maybe i'm just too depressed too blog. Well school has been boring and kinda pointless. I go to school everyday and i feel like theres really nothing to look forward to. Every day is just school then come home, nap or something, then do homework. I've been sickly for the past like 3 days. I don't know who i got it from, but i kinda have a feeling it might of been lily. I'm not trying to say it in a mean way, but it's just that i remember couples days ago lily looked sick and i do sit next to her. so yea. Right now my throat kinda hurts and i have a stuffy nose. When i got home today i went to sleep, putting a lot of blankets on cause i think a way to recover from the flu or a cold is to sweat it all out. I wished i had a 24 hour membership so i wouldnt have to sweat it all out on my bed -.- let see what else.. well lately i've been kinda looking for a job. I've applied to Target and Fred Meyers only so far. The online applications take 45 min each, crazy long. So far no one has accepted me. But i have hope, i know i'll be working soon. Anyways, that pretty much it for this post.
OH YEA. Remember to say Happy birthday to Viet today guys. Happy birthday buddy.
Schools has been lame, total weak sauce even though it's been two days. I like how each class is shorter but i hate having to carry all these book for each class. Also i kinda hate my classes. I'm in like classes with barely anyone i know or talk to. Each class assigns there like own little homework, which in the end like combines into one busy homework night (and i'm just basing this on two days...) Medical Profession Survey seem like a really big drag. Mrs lloyd seems like a nice person but seems like the type who likes to assign alot of homework and do troublesome stuff. on the syllabus it said we're doing a urine testing or w/e o.o wth!! seriously, you want us to pee in the cup for you?! i'm sure this is breaking the law of some sort. U.S history class, there is like no one kinda. So many midangs and they're like the ones that like to cause trouble. spanish seems easy, but mrs fig said we have weekly skits, totally lame... Today i think i bombed the english test... -.- english seems kinda lame too. I liked last years english class where i was with all the asians. Everyone seems to be together in gromko while like couple of unlucky asians got placed into mylet. omgggg seriously, this year seems really lame. I like my first schedule they gave me, which is kinda the same but they rearranged my spanish, pre cal, and us history. I think i would've been better in the first schedule. This is gonna be a long, stupid junior year.
"I want you to love me, but I don't think you will." I wander around as I repeat this to myself. It's the only answer I have, even if I'm scared of getting hurt. I'll say "I love you" to the one I love. Do you love me or not? I don't care what the answer is, I just need to know. No matter how badly I desire to be with you. There are many unchangeable things in this world, And my love for you Can't be stopped by anyone.
As 1000 nights pass, I long to tell you... I have to let you know. "I want you to love me, but I don't think you will." I wander around as I repeat this to myself. It's the only answer I have, even if I'm scared of getting hurt. I'll say "I love you" to the one I love. Putting these feelings into words is so scary, but I'll say "I love you" to the one I love.
The happiness we chance upon in our lives can't be expressed in words. That's why we can only smile. Why we sing "Do Re Mi" among the vivid autumn colors. With winters at our backs, and the spring sunbeams peeking through the leaves As I looked at the road I'd traveled and the path ahead, my eyes were filled with cowardice. I wanted to look into your eyes, but was afraid I wouldn't be honest. I didn't want to know that you didn't love me And live the rest of my days all alone That day, I kept on loving you without getting hurt.
As 1000 nights pass, I long to tell you... I have to let you know. "I want you to love me, but I don't think you will." I wander around as I repeat this to myself. It's the only answer I have, even if I'm scared of getting hurt. I'll say "I love you" to the one I love. Even if my feelings aren't returned, I can say "I love you" to the one I love... And that's the most beautiful thing in the world.
Today was the last day of summer schoooooooool :] I think summer school was ok. There were a lot of pointless assignments in spanish class and a lot of skits.. But i was fine with it. My teacher (senior fisher) said that when our class makes our own skits, i would have the most creative and funny one. He said that i had "talent" for writing plays or something haha. definitely the first time someone has told me that. I think i might miss some of the spanish kids at fisrt but who knows. So took the final today and left school at like 11. Was planning to see G.I Joe with matt and stuff but everyone was busy so we canceled. So i went to lloyd with tabina, wilson, elizabeth, jing, sandra and joanna to get the buy-one-get-one-free smoothies from jamba juice. i got the blackberry bliss from jing when he bought one. It was quite good but there were alot of seed from the blackberry. I was spitting out the seeds as i walk haha. So yea, summer school is over. No more waking up at 6:55. Pretty happy. But just when i thought i could enjoy the rest of summer.... i get the packet in the mail from school saying school starts on the 8th of september.. so i have 31 days left of summer to enjoy but i haven't finished the english book or packet.. fml.. so with the short amount of time left of summer, i wanna go do something fun and memorable. So if anyone is doing something fun, care to invite me to come again :D?
Today was so freaking hot, butt sweating hot. Today i was at walmart and i saw that they had chocolate on "sale" for 50 cents per one or w/e. I kinda felt i haven't had some in a while-ish so i got 2. I got 2 herseys cookies and creame chocolate bars. As soon as i bought it, i realize that it was extremely hot outside and was thinking about how to get home before the chocolate melts. Unfortunately i had to make a stop at the library before going back home. So i thought my chocolate would be safe if i put it under the seat. I came back like 5-8 minutes later, they melted... -.- so i had to get home fast and put it into the freezer to try it freeze it to try and save it. but couple hours later and i opened it, it was already too late... the chocolate was already disfigured and was just messed up looking... sigh... it's still good to eat, but it's not in it's form where you can break it into pieces.
This stupid sun has done no good. It has down so far is kept people at home cause it's so freaking hot outside, it made fat people sweat alot and that's never a good thing, and it melts chocolates! ahhhhhh dam you 100 degree sun!!
P.S i don't really understand it... we've had days where the sun is clear but it was like only 70 degrees outside. So what i'm trying to say is, how come today's 100 degree clear sun is different from the 70 degree clear sun? is the sun closer or something? is there something going on in the air? o.o please, do tell.
haha people don't really know much about my family. I'm a very secretive person. My mom and dad are pretty funny people, mostly my dad he's the only i kinda get my funny side from. So today was pretty dam hot. We don't have a/c cause the windows at my house has bars, so days like theses are a killer for us. Luckily we have a basement that is like cold all year long. It stays like 60 degrees down here, so whenever it's hot like this i come down here and hang out. But my parents, they stay upstairs cause the chinese tv is up there so it sucks for them. haha so what my dad does to cool down is he takes off his shirt to cool down (yup, thats how we roll in the "Yu House") haha then my mom goes and starts talking about his big o' belly and starts comparing him to the buddha statue thingy we have. My dad isn't a fat guy he goes to 24 once in a while, but i guess when you start to get old, your belly naturally starts to get bigger and fatter. haha the two of them go back and forth making comments and jokes. haha the three of us had a good old chuckle. I sure hope it's not genetic.... o.o
Today was another day of spanish 2 in summer school. Today was quite boring. All we did was do like 2 lessons and play pictionary before break time. After break things got better, my class got to go to the gimnasio (gym, just incase you're slow) and play spanish basketball. It pretty regular basketball but our teams gets in line and the person in the front says a word and gets to shoot, that way we get to practice saying our oral spanish. The points were kinda different. The 3 point line was now worth 5 points, the free throw line and back is worth 3 points, and anything infront of the free throw line is worth 1 point. I'm not good at basketball, i seldom play. But today, i was like kobe. I made one 3 pointer (worth 5 points) then went back to the back of the line. When i got up there again, i shot and made another 3 haha. This happens 2 more time which means i made four 3 pointers in a row and in spanish basketball, that's worth 20 points. I scored 20 points by myself. haha but in the end, but team lost by 6 points :[ haha after the game my teacher, senior Fischer, said to me "that was amazing, 4 in a row. do you regularly play?" haha i was like "no.." He goes "that's pretty darn good" But i was like we didn't win thoooooo. haha then he said something that i'm probably over exaggerating but he said, "now you know how kobe feels" haha i then felt like he was comparing me to kobe hahahahah :D
Have you ever had a sudden itch to like dance? like you hear a song you like and you just so happen to "bust-a-move" unconsciously? I know i have... that is why my parents think there's something wrong with me. But this blog isn't about the disappointments my parents have of me, but about elizabeth's courageous video of her "busting-a-move" as a tribute to the late great michael jackson. Eventhough i got a good long chuckle out of it, i think it's very brave of her to do it not only dance to one of mj's song and post it on youtube, but dance to THREE songs and apparently doing the moon walk... so you guys should go checkout her video and comment her about her dancing skills and ask her on whether or not to do a live performance hahaha. ALSO should check out wilson's videos of him singing. muy buena :D
http://www.youtube.com/user/Weelshun - Wilson http://www.youtube.com/user/lilbananagirl - Elizabeth
So wilson mentioned that i didn't blog anymore, and i realize that with summer school... my days a hella boring and my summer days are getting wasted awayyyyyyyy T-T I regret not taking spanish back in 8th grade.. I thought it was a stupid class and was not necessary sigh... So now i'm stuck in summer school for another 4 week, having to wake up early and coming home and taking a nap which pretty much wastes my whole day. I miss those summer nights where i stay up to 4 am doing nothing, waking up at 2 pm.. :\ when summer school ends there would be only a month left of summer and i have yet to start on the stupid english summer assignment. fml fml fml fml fml fml
So today was christina's birthday, so happy birthday to her. I guess i was the one who "organized" the sushi land thing for her birthday, i thought someone suggested it before me but guess not. So about 20 something people were at sushi land, we took up 3 booths. At 1:30, we all just started to sing happy birthday to christina, which was kind awkward because everyone stopped eating and looked at us.. haha but yea.. never doing that again.. I gave her my shitty gift of a chicken/duck(?) hello kitty bobble head haha. It was quite small. Everyone had interesting gifts, all which were better than mine. so yea.. that's pretty much all the highlights ._.
So summer school started this week, last monday. So i'm taking spanish 1&2. My teacher is mr.fisher or senor fisher. So far in class, i feel kinda stressed cause theres so much spanish to know and memorize and to use properly. But senor fisher seems like a nice guy, he didn't intend that we get stressed but all the activities he assigns is quite stressful. Like the spanish script we had to know, or memorize if we wanted extra points, and perform infront of the class. Just yesterday he assigned us a writing assignment where we describe ourselves and told us to turn it into a poster >.< ok, the class. The class is like full of white people, theres like only 6 asians and one black out of the 30 we have in the class. The class is pretty quite cause we're still kinda in the shy stage of being in a new environment and around new people. I, on the other hand, am being myself. Having a happy and positive attitude when i go up to someone i don't know. One thing about summer school that sucks is that there is no lunch provided >.< i'm always so hungry when i get to school and during break time. OOO so today, during break time, i was at the spanish 3&4 class cause that's where all the asians are, and the bell rung. so as i was walking back to my class, i saw martell webster! :D (For those who don't know who he is, here: http://www.nba.com/playerfile/martell_webster/) he was like 5 feet away from me. When i walked past him, i kinda went slowly while gazing at him haha. it's like the first time i saw like a celebrity (kinda) up close.
TRANSFORMERS 2!!!!! IT WAS AWESOME!!! It was full of action. I felt the movie was great, it had a pretty good storyline and a lot of comedy scenes. It was a 2 hour 30min packed full of entertainment. I felt that it's probably gonna be the best movie of the summer and the year. I recommend seeing it :]
I don't know how old she is now, but i hope she'll be around forever. I hope that she'll have the same amount of energy to do out and have morning and even walks like she does now for many years to come. I wish her the best of health. I really hope that she'll see me graduate and see me go through my beginning years into "life". Everyday after school or after tennis, she would always asks me if i'm hungry and ask if i wanted something to eat. I usually say no and that kinda makes me feel bad cause i always think that she thinks i'm just ignoring her or just wanting her to leave me alone, when it's just that i'm not hungry. When she goes to my aunts every Friday, she would tell me to lock the doors and don't open the door to strangers (eventhough i'm 16, old enough to handle that kind of stuff).
Well it's been like 3 days into summer vacation and so far i've been feeling really really bored... So like everyone else, we like to talk about our school year. Everyone always feel that the school year went by really slowly... i personally feel that this year was the slowest. I thought the constant feeling of not understanding would never end. The consecutive days of tests and quizs. The endless sleepless nights where i spent studying or finishing up homework or an assignment(then again... i did copy alot during the year too). Those days where the night before chem, i would pray that mrs ames would not call on me during class. ahhhh what a long and difficult year... I personally felt that this year has been a below average year for me. Not understanding things and yet not ask for help. Found myself postponing things to the last minute, getting distracted and constantly giving up easily. I don't know how to fix those things... but that's just how i am..
Chem/Physics: were considered my most confusing classes. i always felt so stupid in there. don't even know why i'm still in there(mainly cause mrs ames will question me everytime i see her...) and next year, i go back and probably continue where i left off.. sitting there, scratching my head and having my "wtf" face on.
Global: I am the most quiet in this class. I'm like the only asian in there. Tracy is in there too but no one considers her asian cause she constantly say to everyone that's she black... Everyone in there are like lazy and stupid. They ask the stupidest questions and talk about stupid things during class time.. I once sat behind this black girl(i know, the black part wasn't necessary but i thought i mention it anyways. just so you get a picture in your head :])and we were learned about the bombing on Hiroshuma and Nagasaki. And the girl goes, why couldn't they stop the bomb? i was like "wtf? they're not jesus... they can't stop a bomb from falling..." I'm also the only student that has an A in the class.
Comm/Personal Growth: THE MOST POINTLESS AND STUPID CLASS EVER! omg, i'm always so bored in that class... all we talk about is about feelings and w/e. i hate it, i'm glad it's over.
Band: My favorite class. It's always so chill in there. Mr foster is a really nice guy. I enjoyed playing those music from the book. Also getting to learn how to play trombone. even tho i'm not really good, but i like it. Now that i have to take spanish, i don't know if i'll be able to join band next year or the year after that :[
Algebra: ahhhh another boring class. In the beginning of the year, i was like really slow to adapt to the class and was in the 4 row which consists of C students... and i was one of them... as the year went by i made my way up to the A row. Mr Thibedou some times get on my nerves; with his stupid requirements of little details on homework and times where he marks me down for talking when i said one thing and he accuses me of always causing trouble -.-
Anatomy and Physiology: This class, i never understood anything. Health is a really confusing subject to me and yet i'm majoring in it.... also i get B's on my tests purely base on my lucky guesses. Pretty boring class with all those note taking but there were some interesting labs and dissection. Pretty fun people in there to so it made up for the boring stuff.
English: omg, whitmore is like borderline crazy. she's like right on the line for being normal and being senile. She always assigns these crazy and long assignments and then she goes and not checks it... or extends the time for like an week or two. i hated all those classes where we sat and read for an hour and 30 minutes. But now that schools over, i think i'm gonna miss having her class. she was a very nice and reasonable person.
Sophmore year is over. Two more years... Three months of nothing to do during summer vacation.. Sigh..
Haha so today in ap we were continuing the our fetal pig dissection. So i was cutting and examining it while matt was doing book work for the packet. So i was messing with the tail, and i was like waving it up and down. Little did i know that the next thing to happen would be poop to come out.... wth!!! yup, like wave i did, more and more little line of poop came out.. disgusting... so anyways, i'm pretty sure everyone should know what 13 is. 13 the card game. if not, then go google it or something. So after school matt wanted to go eat somewhere so i called shawn and told him to come along. We decided to go to applebees. We order the chilli cheese nachos and the quesadilla grande, only 2 appetizer because it's happy hour and the appetizer are half off but only if you buy a regular price drink and only 2 appetizer can like go with one drink for the half off deal. So i bought a raspberry lemonade. So while we were waiting, i took out my deck of cards, cause i was kinda bored. We started to play 13. While we were playing, i came up with the idea of placing bet on whoever loses, would have to eat a jalapeno from the nachos. They both agreed, and the games began... There were about 8 or 10 jalapenos in the nachos. they came in all kinds of sizes. The first game matt lost and had to eat the first jalapeno haha the second game i lost... -.- so i ate one. it was freaking like burning my tongue. I had never eaten one before so this was my first time and didn't know what to expect for it. As soon as i placed it in my tongue and took 2 crunchs, it began to burn. ahhhhhhh i quickly began slurping down my lemonade. drank about a good half of it before i was semi ok. so the games continued... shawn lost the next one and ate one. haha he tried to play it cool and act like it didn't effect him, but 3 seconds later he began sucking his water. haha. i think people around us were like looking at us because we were kinda loud with our laughing cause it was just hilarious when someone gets last place and like their expression they get. so, so far everyone has eaten one already and i'll tell you guys this already, shawn continued to win and never ate another one again. So basically the next couple of games, it was basically a head to head game between me and matt. Matt lost the next one i think and i lost after that. so then the next 4 games, it kinda came down between me and matt and hahaha i would always have 1 card left and it would be a 2. hahaha so matt lost 4 in a row!! haha sucks ass for him. each time he loses, me and shawn would just laugh hysterically. as matt ate more and more, there was only 1 left and since whenever we lose we try to pick the smallest one to eat so in the very end there was this like big round one with like the middle or w/e was filled. haha we called it the "big juicy one" XD after those 4 rounds that matt had lost, he was confident that god was not gonna make him eat the last one. so the final showdown began.... we played and shawn won as usual.... so he's basically a spectator. it was just me and matt. card after card... tension built... neither of us wanted to eat the "big juicy one" matt did not want to lose 5 in a row... so in the very end..... (drumroll) i lost... T-T wahhhhhhhhh matt gave out a sigh of relief, shawn started to laugh, and i, i was just fml fml fml. so i ate it took 3 crunches cause we agreed on a minimum of 3 crunches before swallowing. It was pretty dam hot. I gulp down my entire cup of raspberry lemonade. it was epic.. and the game was done... so in the end i ate 3 jalapenos, shawn ate only 1 (-.-) and matt hahaha matt ate 6. Matt got g-checked >:] pretty fun time. when we left applebees, the waiter guy went, "how was the jalapenos?" we started to laugh cause i guess people were noticing what we were doing XD
haha today, the tennis team had a ice-cream/awards get together or w/e. it originally was suppose to be a barbecue, but i guess we were too cheap to afford meat, so mr wong got soda and ice cream instead and made root bear floats... -.- so i got only one cup and i was kinda looking forward to the barbecue but that's what happens when the guys don't win much... congrats on the girl's season tho, they were awesome. So after we had our lousy, one scoop and like half a can of soda, root bear floats, we started to hand out awards. I didn't get much, but i'm cool with that, didn't expect anything more than i certificate. But the interesting thing was.... the pile of certificates were not alphabetical AND YET i was the last one... was it or was it not cause of my last name... no one knows... the awards went pretty much as i had planned or voted. Mike got most improved for jv, which he deserves and cause i voted for him. He has come a long way from all those swings that caught nothing but air and maybe some flies. The girls' award, i didn't have anything to disagree with. The only award that i didnt really agree with was probably the varsity guys' most inspirational. Jing is considered an inspiration, but maybe Chu or Larry was alittle bit more w/e. But o well. So inbetween our award ceremony, the clouds came in and brought this crazy gut, it was just blowing everything. freaking beast as hell. It blew so much sand and dust, that everyone was like getting a allergic reaction, cause i certainly did. my eyes just started to itch and i started sneezing. So we moved the tennis thing inside and as i was walking inside, my freaking certificate, which i had in my hand, blew away. fml. i started to case after it, like one of those scene in movies where some guy loses his hat and has to case after it, and when he think he caught up to it, it blows away again. yea, that happened to me... so we went inside and finished up the awards. After that i started to head home, outside was still gusting and everything. When i got to the bus stop, someone said that max was closed cause something about tornado warning or something. So everyone had to take the 70 home. on our way home, it started to pour down like crazy. it was like flooding or something. When i got off the bus like 20 min later due to the traffic, i saw lightning o.o ahhhh it looked like the world was about to end or like god was throwing a hissy fit or something. it looked really bad. I kept seeing lightning and i would count to see how far away it was, and i would always count 2 or 3 seconds and like panic. haha cause 2-3 miles isn't that far away ToT hahaha the funny thing was, as i was standing at the bus stop and everything was going on, across the street i see this guy with glass, playing his guitar in the rain, with no umbrella and no care in the world. haha he was just grooving away on his guitar. haha hippy... anyways i came home and bought a ice coffee from 7'11 for a dollar (great deal! limited time only ._.) and watched the laker game where magics got blown out. so yea, pretty scary da.
Thank you to everyone that wished me a happy birthday, i'm am really grateful and happy for that. I appreciate the gifts i got, or/and the gifts i'm "gonna" get. I'm glad to have you guys as friends and to have you actually put thoughts into my birthday. I loves the t-shirts i got from jenny, christina, tabina, hoan, and joanna and the simpson's uno cards i got from mary, so thank you guys. Since there is 5 days left of school, i'm gonna wear a different tshirt i got for each day to show my appreciation. uh i'm sorry that i didn't do anything special like a party or anything for my birthday since i got these gifts with nothing to give to you guys in return. My grandma suggested a party, but i didn't think there was anything to do at my house, so everyone would've been bored anyways. She also suggested that i take you guys to mcdonalds... which i thought would be a really bad idea... so i'll be planning something to give back to you guys maybe in the summer if not then i'll try to do something for next year. So my birthday is just like a regular days for me. didn't do anything special, stayed home and took a birthday nap :D hahaha yes, my life is pretty boring.. haha so yea, so tomorrrow be on a look out for me if you're one of those who bought me a tshirt and see if i'm wearing YOUR tshirt tomorrow ;]
So today was freaking like 90 degrees outside, shitting hot. I decided not to go to the atkinson carnival because it's just too hot outside and plus there wasn't much things to do there anyways. Also we didn't have fake tickets so yea... I came home and did w/e. OK so the thing is, i came home and got on the computer. I was waiting till the laker and nuggets game but i fell asleep (like i always do for most of the playoff games) i woke up like a hour and a half or so later cause i was sweating due to the heat outside. So i was getting back on my computer to watch the game. But for some reason it didn't work. feeling a little strange i tried to fix it. this was like a new problem i'm facing so i didn't know how to fix it. so i tired to fix it for like 3 hours, and i finally decided to give up. Then my sister goes to the main pc where the modem is connected to, did something and got it working again... -.- she doesn't know anything about computers too... so.... fml. I watched a movie, pretty funny but too much sex related stuff :x OH YEA! so it's like 1:38 right now( i don't know why i'm not sleeping yet...) but today i was trying to call miguel based on the phone number i had in my phone book from a long time ago. When i called this women answered, so i was oop wrong number. No big deal right? but the thing is... she knows that i had the wrong number... but she called me back like 2 times today... wtf right? the last call was like 5-8 minutes ago. hecka messed up. i don't know if she's prank calling me or something... but yea... weird... :D
Big day. So today was the St John's parade and the Benson band was going to be in it. So i had to wake up early today as if it was a school day... at 7... sigh... got ready and got on the max to school. We got ready and stuff, got dressed, put on my hat and plume, got my gloves, and shined my trombone. We got a practice run and by then i was pretty confident that we're gonna do fine cause we had rehearsals where we sounds like crap, where we were all disorganized and where sometime no one would play. By then i knew it was going to be a great parade and a good day. So we got on the bus and drove down there. Once we got there, the first thing i noticed was this massive bunch of people this one school has for a band. They had like 100-150 people where we only have like 50 so they're like twice/triple our size. But they were only in middle school. Also i noticed that none of them were wearing school uniforms, they were just wearing a school tshirt and jeans... We had our blue and orange school band uniforms... people were looking at us... So we got into our spot and stood there for a while. For some reason we didn't start until like 12:30 and we got there like at 9.... so we waited for 2-3 hours in the hot sun. I walked around, looked at the other people's bands, floats, and got some food. So when we finally started, i didn't feel nervous. I felt kinda confident and felt calm. Maybe it's because i did this last year. So during the march, i played the most that i can and that i know which is about 2/3 of the first song and the whole pretty much the whole piece of the second music. During the march i sometime got off step but got back in. It was pretty hot, so i was dripping sweat from my noise and sweating on my forehead. It felt like just 10 min, but 30 min/ 2 mile of marching was over. Overall i felt that the band did a pretty good job. The crowd enjoyed the music we played, they cheered us, and yea. Pretty good march :]
So today i went to my 7th period anatomy like any other day. Expecting it to be a boring class and just wanna get it over with so i can go home. So i was out in the hall walking when Mary standing with ling. Mary then called my name out loud and told me to come over. So i waked up to her expecting that she wanted to just say hi or tell me something. So i stood there and then she said i have something to tell you. So i like bended down to her height and like moved in closer to her as if it was a secret. AND THEN, BAM! she goes and kisses me on the cheek.. -.- i was like ewwwwwwwwww. I then saw that she was laughing. So i went into the classroom like saying eww the whole way to my seat and as i went by others seem to be laughing and were saying "she did it?!" i was like what? everyone is in on this? o man... the betrayal... the violation.. haha T-T So later i asked others and turns out this was started at adventist between the 12:00 - 4:00 volunteers and they did this thing where it was kinda like a "dare" where they had to kiss a certain someone. yea.. totally lame.. So later on in class, apparently it was ling's turn to do it. haha it was kinda funny cause people were all gathered around matt when ling we over and asked him if she could kiss him. haha we made like this huge deal about it. haha when ling finally did it, we all like yelled "ooOoOo" haha and mrs callies and all the other people in class looked over. Then i went and like started this "marriage, marriage, marriage" chant haha funny. Fun day in ap :]
Well hosa conference is over, i consider it to be one of the best 3 days i ever had :] haha Didn't win any medals but i placed 5th in creative problem solving so i guess i was close? haha no, it's epic fail. Completely failed the knowledge tests, i thought you would get aleast one night or something to study for the test but they had them the day we got there so i didn't get to study T-T Medical terminology was freaking long and hard. There were 100 questions and i only like answered 10-20 of them. But Joanna got first, and she deserves it can i've seen her reading through medical term worksheets from mrs koch last year. Proud of you noob :] so it sucked for me but night time was pretty fun.
Day 1 We got into our room and went around to others' room around us and started to mess around. People would constant come into our room, "i was like why are you guys always in here?!" Fun time :] At night we went out to try to get some dinner but red robins were closed so we started to wonder around in our like 12 people group trying to find a restaurant to get some food. We walked around like the whole mall(outside) trying to find a restaurant thats open. We went to every possible restaurant but no luck. So we went back to the hotel and ordered pizza at like 11:30 at night haha. When we went to sleep was pretty funny. I was constantly like heating up when in the bed but shawn and wilson didn't feel it was hot. Shawn and matt were sleeping in tanks so i was saying that their nipples were touching ahahahahahaha XD AND WILSON SNORES HELLA LOUD haha no joke. we (shawn, matt, and I) all heard it. it was beastly. So that was the first day there.
Day 2 So our morning started with Ling coming into our room to wake wilson up cause wilson claims that a alarm clock can't wake him up. But he woke up on time anyways so ling was not needed. So when ling came into our room at 7:45 with matt's key others followed and came in; Viet, Jim, Sandra D. Janine, Jing, Sandra V., and May. yup, no privacy. So they were all in our room, and the thing was, matt was not dressed. The girls were like constantly in our room so matt was stuck in his sheets trying to cover up. We were constantly making fun of matt, making it harder for him to get out. It took like an hour before matt would get dressed haha. We went out to red robins for breakfast where i was punching Piaoling with every yellow or volkswagen beetle car i saw. haha it became kind of a contest between us trying to punch each other. After we were done we went back to the hotel and got in our swimming gear and went to the pool. The pool was FREEZING COLD! felt like ice water. holy crap. and it was dirty. After i got in, i quickly got out and went to the hot tube. it felt nice in there. nice and warm. Then i went into the sauna. I thought it was pretty hot in there already but shawn and viet thought that it needed to be like boiling hot. So we sat in there for like 15-20 min sweating like crazy. Jim was hella homo. He would sit there like slouching and every five minutes he would say that his belly button was full of sweat and he would yell out empty and he would freaking empty out the sweat. i was like, what the sh*t. So after that we went back to our rooms, showered and got ready for the meeting/ banquet dinner. The banquet dinner was pretty good and i got my ONLY "award" which was the Barbra James award for my volunteer hours which was a certificate. Congrats to everyone that got an award. So after that we went back to our rooms where we got back into our casual clothes. There was a dance, so I went along with others. It was a pretty fun time. I didn't do any real dancing i was just jumping up and down haha people we like you dance ok, i was like i was just jumping up and down. Wilson, Tri, and Christina was like statues just standing there. haha so what like a bunch of guys and girls did were we go in a group and like just drag wilson out and like just started to dance around him hahahahahaha he was like sooooooo uncomfortable XD funny. so after that was done we back to our rooms and took a shower. When i was trying to sleep, wilson, shawn, and matt were like singing their own individual chinese songs so i couldn't really sleep. but eventually they stopped.
Day 3 So i was kinda woken up by wilson's crazy snoring. But it was cool cause i need to get up for my event anyways. Creative problem solving. It was basically they give us a topic, which was something about promoting good health and appearance. My group (phoebe, lily, shirley and I) didn't really know what to say. We just wrote some stuff down on the poster and presented it. When we presented we had like alot of time left so I had to make stuff up to waste time and maybe get some more points. The others didn't say anything so i had to say everything and make stuff up. but i think it went ok, got 5th. So when we were done we had to go back to our rooms and started to pack up cause it was the last day and we had to be out of our room by 11 T-T So i had 4 hours before we had a meeting so i went to the valley river mall or w.e and just walked around. The mall wasn't that great, no real good stores. When it was 3 were had a closing ceremony and handed out more awards. When it was 4 we started to load the bus. It was kinda sad that the experience was over already. So we were headed back in a 2 hour long drive. Most people fell asleep on the ride and so did i. So when i was sleeping viet resting his head like on my shoulder. After like 20 mins, my arm was like going numb so i had to shake viet off. When i did that i found that viet had drooled on me.... -.- freaking gross so after that i didn't let him sleep on me anymore haha.
Conclusion I really enjoyed hosa conference. I enjoyed how all my friends were like next or 2 rooms away. I'm gonna miss that. I'm gonna miss making cup of noodles with the coffee maker. I'm gonna miss watching playoff games with others and cheering our team on. I'm gonna miss going into others rooms trying to find someone. I'm gonna miss being with my friends 24 hours a day. I'm gonna miss going out to eat with my friends. I'm gonna miss late nights tv and food eating. I'm gonna miss tying a tie cause i have to. I'm gonna miss it all..... Hope that my parents will let me go again next year cause i'm gonna be looking forward to all these things and also having another chance to get a medal cause i now know what to expect. Wanna start making room-mate arrangements? :]
YEAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH BOYYYYY!!! >:] so yea, blazers win :D so it was later in the 4th quarter and we're up like 4 or 6 points. Oden fouled out, both przybilla and aldridge had 5 fouls so i was kinda pissed/worried. But i kept cool cause roy was beasting on his defenders and was like having a kobe moment. With like a minute left we were up by 6, then all of a sudden Aaron brooks starts shooting these miracle threes, and they all went in!! he made like 3 threes but they had to foul so we kept our lead. with like 5 seconds left, he makes another one with like 3 feet behind the three point line, so we only up by 2. So we inbounded to rudy, and they fouled him with 1.9 seconds left. So if rudy makes both free throws we would win. So he made the first one which means the worst that could happen is they make a full court shot and send it to overtime. Then he makes the second one, which is then GG for rockets. muahahahahaha good game. Roy had 42 points, freaken beast, aldridge had 27 also beast. Yup, it's going down again on Friday.
So right now i'm kinda pissed at what's going on in the Rockets and Blazers game. Blazer is getting blown out and i can't figure out why. It's just so lame how rockets are making everything and getting all the calls while blazers are getting the opposite of that. Lamarcus isn't shooting well, we like haven't made any threes, Yao Ming is like making everything,total bs.. and yea... it's just a terrible first playoff game for the blazers...
Well today there was no tennis practice so i came home earlier than usual(usual being 7-8pm) due to the rain that's pouring outside. So yea. I came home and my dad was home since it's his day off. My dad comes to my room and asks, you wanna drive today? i gave him a classic wilson look, the "huh?!" look. hahahaha. despite it being wet outside, i decided to drive anyways since i probably won't have a chance for a while. So my dad drove me to the empty parking lot again and i did my usual driving practice. I practiced parking, reversing, and turning. So after like an hour of practicing, and the sun just so happened to come out and be as sunny as ever,my dad told me to drive out in the street. I gave him another wilson look, "HUH?!" haha but i chose to do it anyways. So there i was, out on the street, driving at like, idk, 5-10mph? i don't really know, but yea it seems pretty fast. So i drove around the blocks couple of times. There were times where i was too close to parked cars on the street and my dad would yell at me and i would jerk the car away from it. Also there are times where i do really close turns so i think people behind me is probably thinking i'm pathetic :\ haha i drove around blocks around my house for like 20 min which is pretty scary/exciting. So yea, that's my second experience of driving. i'll post more of my driving adventures when they come :]
Today has been one of the best day i've had in a while. Today the weather was excellent, got to hang out with friends pretty much the whole day, and got to play tennis. Math fest was a pain, but it was all good. Pretty hard test, i just did the easy stat-edit questions haha. Waited like 30 min for the 44 bus to come so we can go home. Me, shawn, jim, matt, and mary joined wilson, hoan, and lily at sara's house. We ordered pizza and hang out there for a while. Jim went into the basement of sara's house and found a box of a year expired box of coca-cola where most of the guys didn't mind drinking. We played uno and surprisingly had quite a lot of fun, haha. At like 3, we went to Franklin and played tennis. The weather was perfect with a bit of breeze here and there. When we got there and these grown ups left, they gave us two tubes or w/e of balls they didn't want anymore which the balls are still pretty much new so that was cool. I finished up the friendly challenge me and jim had, where i lost 7-8 which is cool. I don't mind losing, it shows me what and where i need to practice more on. We played for quite a long time. While i was rallying with matt and stuff and his cousin, i made a hit and mess up like i always do, i went and let out like a aiyooo. His cousin goes, "is he where you get all your noises from?" i was like "noises....?" She goes "yea, cause matt seems to talk like you" hahaha i didn't know my little outbursts are contagious XD do i make noises? haha do tell me. Anyways hope everyone enjoyed their sunny saturday :]
Tomorrow... i am waking up at freaking 7 am on a Saturday to go and do math.... sigh... that's like a total FML moment. I found out like this whole weekend is gonna be like sunny and warm, and i'm gonna be spending it by doing math, volunteering, and homework... sigh... freaking global, comm, and ap homework. sigh... LAME!
So today the guys didn't have tennis practice, so i went out to eat at apple bees with shawn, jim, and matt. When we got our seats and made our orders, the waitress said she'll be back with our waters and everyone at the table said like ok or thank you, BUT I gave her like a mmmkay, like a retarded ok. i didn't do it on purpose, it just slipped out cause i say that alot at school. So like 5 min after i said that and the waitress left, i was like "did i just give her a retarded ok? why did i do that..." haha she probably thinks i'm retarded or an ass for doing that.. XD sigh... so yea, we ate, and since it was like april, i was thinking about doing a aprils fool joke on the waitress by saying that we forgot our wallets haha. but being that i was probably an ass already, i didn't want to do it. Cause i think she might of tooken the statement seriously and called the cops or something haha. So we left and went home. I came home took a nap. When i woke up, i thought it was time for school again. Every morning when i wake up, i usually turn on the tv to watch the news for the weather report. So i turned it on and i was on the CW channel, and i was like huh... i didn't know America's Next Top Model plays in the morning... then i slowly remembered that i took a nap ._. haha yup, day full of stupid things.
Today, i got to drive for the first time since i've gotten my permit 3 months ago :D haha man. So i woke up this morning and i asked my dad, you want to teach me to drive today? cause today is his day off and i'm actually home, so it's like a rare occasion and a time i can actually learn cause my mom won't teach me. So my dad drove to a empty parking lot near my house. He started by saying like the basics, i guess, about turning and how to turn the steering wheel. I was kinda zoning in and out like how i do in school :x haha so soon after that, my dad told me to drive o.o!!! ahhhh i was sooo scared about how to drive, being it's my very first time and everything haha. So i got in the car, put on the seat belt and put the gear into drive. Right after it was in drive.. the car started to move forward on it's own. i kinda paniced and was like wth!?!! My dad quickly told me that the car automatically moves on it's own and to press the brakes. Still kinda panicking i slammed on the brakes and me and my dad jerked forward a little... my very first attempt on driving... epic fail... >.< haha so i can it another try and this time it didn't really know the amount of pressure needed to be applied for the car to move slowly. So thinking logically, maybe like an inch in would put it into like a nice and slow speed... WRONG!! so i did that, and the car was just jolted forward, panicking again i slammed on the brakes... sigh... another failure.. so after a couple more tries and stuff i finally got the hang of it. So i started to drive around the parking lot in circles cause turning was pretty easy. Later on i learned to park and reverse. Parking was a little tricky cause my dad said i would always turn into the parking spot too early. The hard park was reversing out. Man reversing is pretty confusing. After i would reverse out of a parking spot, i would stop and my mind would be on like driving forward now, but i was still in reverse gear, so i when i stepped on the gas pedal i would like jolt backward. I would then quickly slam on the brakes again and correct everything :\ haha i then spent like half an hour just parking and reversing. So i got the hang of the things i learned and i didn't really feel scared or anything, just a little bit nervous in the beginning but it went away :] And that's pretty much my first driving experience :x
haha yesterday was a pretty fun day. The sophomore health occ class went to osmi which was just so happen to be the pep assembly which i kinda wanted to be there but w/e. So as we were walking for the bus to omsi, shawn started one of the highlights of that day. haha so i was just standing there and just listening to my music. Then shawn out of nowhere said "hey john, i think you dropped your pocket" (one of those lame jokes) as lame as that was.... i actually looked down... as soon as i looked down i realized what had just happened.. sigh... haha so i had this feeling inside, the feeling of embarrassment, so i had to get rid of it by passing it on to someone else >:] haha so when we got to omsi, i looked for my prey. and i saw sara... haha the perfect victim. muahaha so i saw her, and i just cassually said "hey sara, you dropped your pocket" and she looked down. i burst into laughter, she was my first victim... but it didn't stop there. while at omsi, looking at da vinci's inventions and looking at exhibits, i saw piaoling. she was my next victim. as usual i casually walked up to her and was like "hey, you dropped your pocket" haha she looked down like a fool!! haha it doesn't end there tho.. muahahaa so the day went on at omsi. we had lunch at the cafe, which was highway robbery. holy crap. soda bottle for $2.50, fries for $2.00, grilled cheese $3.50, and kids meal for 4.50 which only includes like a sandwich or something and string cheese... total bs. haha i ordered a grilled cheese which was for some reason called fromage. haha there was like 4 people ordering a grilled cheese and erica was the ONLY one that said fromage, and she said it wrong too hahaha she was like "can i get a.... "fra-mig" hahahahaha at that point i was laughing so hard that i had to cover my face with the packet we had to do there. hahaha "fra-mig" second highlight of my day haha XD even the cooker was like "grill-cheese?" haha fra-mig.... ok, so after i ate i had to spend some time around omsi on my own cause i chose not to watch the movie. so i wondered around for like a hour and a half. I went into the turbine and played with all these neat little kid activities. then i went back to the main floor or w/e and did some brain teaser which was actually pretty interesting and frustrating.. don't you hate it when you think so hard on a teaser and it turns out it's very simple? thats how i felt >:| haha soon it was time to go back to school. I had to take the physic test so i was freaking out a little bit but it was pretty easy. Played a little tennis on the wet courts. That was that day.. Today, the first day of spring break. i checked the weather report and it said sprinkles all day... but it was pretty sunny.. so i went to franklin and played some tennis with sara, wilson, matt, and his cousin. Had some pretty fun rallies. Came home to watch the blazers beat the bucks. played some starcraft with viet and mike, kinda got owned but it's ok i didn't really care. so yea, pretty good last couple of days. Let's see what happens these next couple of days of spring break.. leave a comment about your day? :]
Yesterday i woke up to shooting pains in my triceps. if you don't know what triceps are, you just flex your arm and it's that fat hanging underneath hahaha. but yea. i had like this crazy pain in my triceps on both arm. i was like paralyzed, i was barely able to get out of bed. I did manage to get out but at like the cost on excruciating pain. I had to walk with my arms like hanging as if i'm like a zombie or something T.T I asked my mom to help me put on this like water ointment or w/e that reduces muscle soreness. After like 15 min the pain started to go down i was able to move my arm a little bit. But then like 10 minutes later i had chest pain, like the muscle in my chest. I was like wth! so i put some more ointment. i think this was all caused by tennis. which led me to feel like i'm a weakling... ToT so yea, the pain was there the whole day. But i somehow was able to get dress and go out to buy some shoes. I bought some running shoes for tennis, cause i felt like i need some light and comfortable shoes to run in. So yea. Today i still have pain in my chest, the tricep pains are pretty much gone except a little bit. I dont know if the pains will be completely recovered by tomorrow cause tomorrow we're (tennis team) is playing Wilson High School tomorrow. Ahhhhh i want to be able to play tomorrow. I hope it rains (which it most likely will) so it'll get rescheduled so i get couple more days to recover and maybe work on my backhand.
Today looked like it was one of those beautiful spring days, where it's warm like around 65-70 and with the one-in-a-while breeze to give you a breath of fresh air :] thats what i love about spring. BUT looks are deceiving. Today after school i was eager to go outside cause it looked really nice outside. But as soon as i walked outside, this big gush of wind blew past me, giving me chills. It looked really warm but it was ruined by the big wind. It was blowing like every couple of seconds, freezing everyone on the court at tennis practice -.- So like everyone's hit got blown off course a little bit, giving me a bad practice day. My hands were cold. My hair was blowing everywhere. Just not as good as a day i thought it would be :\
Well today is a half and half. Half good, half bad. I woke up to see that it was kinda sunny outside so i was really happy. Came to school, went through my first 4 classes fine. But then at lunch or right after lunch i went to Mr Pelico's room to get my test. I was totally shocked and speechless when i saw how BAD i did on the test.... sigh fml... so after seeing my score on my test, i was kinda sad and like quiet for kinda the remainder of the day. But when school was over, my mood flipped (mood swings... seems like i'm on my period o.o) and was really excited for tennis cause it was sunny and not too cold. Perfect tennis weather. I got to the courts and did some drills. I felt like i did pretty well today, i actually got the ball over the net with my backhands. Then after that, drills were done and Mr. Wong said that we're gonna do a doubles tournament. I prayed that i wasn't going to be partnered with jim, cause we've always have trouble playing to together in the past (also mentioned in the previous blog post) So i was PRAYING i wasn't going to be with jim. He went through the list of players and they all said who their partners were, and at the end.... me and jim were left... so we were partnered up again... So we were partnered up and played in the tournament. Our first match was against Shane and Zach, probably the worst pair to play.. We played and the score at the end was 3-1 which we pretty much predicted. Then our next match was against Alexis and Huy, another bad pair to play cause Alexis went to state last year. BUT luckly Alexis wasn't playing like her regular self or has an injury or something cause that's the only way to explain why we won. The match went into a tie, 2-2, but we got luck and won the game point. So after that we were 1-1, which is pretty good comparing to our previously record from last time we were paired up (0-3 -.-) So then we played our last match, which was against Matt and Calvin, two tennis academy players. By comparing playing experiences, it would seem that they would win for sure cause they learned in tennis academy while we just learned and played for fun. But (yup another but) we won that one too. That match also went into a tie and once again we won the tie breaker point. So we ended the tournament with a 2-1 record, which we'll take even if it was all luck. Haha we even told Mr. Wong that it was all luck cause he was kinda surprised with our record. But he said that our opponents underestimated us. We then said it was just luck. haha then he argued that eventhough our shots were ugly (or something like that) our shots somehow finds it's way to stay in court, which to me made me feel like i gained the approval of Mr. Wong :]
Well... today has been a weird day. Today during 4th period i thought me and matt were supposed to volunteer for the Red Cross Blood Drive. So we skipped 4th period and went down to the gym to try and help out. But when we got there, like the co-supervisor told us that they don't need us... so me and matt decided to go to the band room and sit around instead of going back to Mrs. Beard's class. When we were in there, we were just playing with a psp and itouch. THEN all of a sudden, Mrs. Ames came in and saw us playing games. She started to yell from the door, saying that you keep on complaining about not having time to do homework, and here you are playing games instead of doing work. I thought she was talking to me but she was actually talking to matt about the PSI or w/e class. So i thought i was lucky that she didn't yell at me. Then she started to look at me and said you shouldn't be playing games either, get a book out! i got hecka scared and started to look for a book i don't have in my backpack.. haha so after she left, i took out my ap study guide and did a little of it. Then she came back looking for Mr. Foster but he wasn't there so she lefted again. Then she came back the third time still looking for Mr. Foster but he wasn't there so she left and gave up. Today after a bunch of convincing from others.. i decided to join the tennis team again... :\ i was kinda nervous cause it has been a week after tennis started so that would mean i would have to talk to Mr. Wong and ask if i could join. So after school i went to the tennis courts. i walked around, trying to get the guts to ask Mr.Wong.. so after like 5 minutes i asked him. I asked him if it was too late to join in like a kind of a shy way. He asks me what my name was, and then he remembered i was in the pass program or w/e which was just JV2. Then he asked if i wanted to play or just sit in kind of a irritated way. I told him that i wanted to play, then he said well if you're gonna play you gotta come every day and play. After that he looked away and talked with someone else. I just stood there trying to figure out if he's gonna let me play or not.. o.o Then i just left and borrowed Hoan's racket and rally with people. Then he told us to get in a line and told us that we're gonna do a doubles tournament. After everything was said and done, i was partnered up with jim, which in the past we haven't done so well. haha when Mr. Wong wrote people's name down on the chart, he asked for our names and i said jim and john, after like 1 second pause, he said and wrote down J^2(J squared). He started to laugh, and jim started to laugh, but i didn't really get whats so funny. Mr. Wong saw that i wasn't laughing so he did one of those laughing-to-serious faces to me. i just stood there with a ._. face. So we did the tournament, we played Zach and Luehna (if i spelled it wrong, tell me :]) which we lost 3-2, then we played Calvin and some guy we lost that 4-1 :\, then the saddest part happened... we then lost to 2 freshmens... who didn't even know how to serve or hit the ball 2.5-2 (.5 cause we're suppose to play a total of 4 games, and if it tied we played one more match and winner of the match wins, and we lost..) After that i started to second guess my second guessing of whether or not to join the team.. after losing 3 games i feel like maybe i shouldn't of joined..
These past couple of days has been iffy. Didn't really do much yesterday, just stayed home and watched 3 movies :3 I watched soulmen, star wars battle of the clones and sexdrive. Out of those three, i think i liked star wars the most o.o haha idk, i just liked all the action. Then today went to adventist. Pretty easy day and went by pretty darn quick. Did like 2 discharge, and some pharmacy errands. Did SOME homework but didn't really finish any of them. Came home to spend most of the day dueling wilson... sigh... i know, pretty sad. Watched the blazers crush the spurs which was pretty cool. And uh.. yea, i probably should finish studying for physics and finish one last question for global. :]
Today has been pretty fun. Well after school it was, not during. During school i was feeling a bit woozy. But it went away after school. In math it was kinda lame, dropped down to 10th in ranking of the class. But i talked to him after school to change my grade on the test and i think he'll raise it up so i might move up in rankings :] After school i went to the tennis courts to watch the tennis team practice. I remember when i uses to play in those little drills where we don't really learn anything from the coach... haha this year i decided not to join because i felt that i'm getting too much homework and that i don't really learn from the team. So maybe next year. After they were done, i went and hit a couple balls. Then i went to the band room cause the band was going to play in the basketball game tonight. It was the last basketball game of the year, so Mr. Foster bought pizza and soda for the band :] The game at first was pretty exciting and fun. In the second quarter, with 2 minutes left, we were up 14!!! AND WE GOT TO SEE A DUNK!!! holy crap! it seemed like we were going to freaking win. But then magically in like an minute, Grant caught up to within 6.... omg... wth.. then at half time we were up only by 1.. -.- classic benson basketball... We played, we cheered, we booed, and we gave up.. Third quarter, Mr. Foster told us that the band gets free popcorn :DDD so like the whole band went to the concession stand and crowded around there wanting free popcorn. The men tennis team was hosting the concession stand so it was kinda scary to get free popcorn from Mr. Wong. Instead of giving everyone individual bags of popcorn, they gave up one big one. They poured popcorn into half a paper grocery bag.. Like a group of band people like crowded around it and was kinda hogging it so i decided not to follow them and reach in to try and get some popcorn. The game continued and we lost by 9. We lost once again... maybe next year.. like how i said last year... overall my day was pretty good.
I've been having boring days lately.. it's all because of the dam weather and that everyone is in the tennis team, no more after school eating. Well today went to school, and did w/e. During lunch, there was a red cross meeting, but we didn't even do anything, we just sat around. Jim brought his new laptop to school, haha and i was messing around with his webcam, taking pictures and recording videos Got like a picture of erica and like a video of piaoling (should ask jim for them or something) In band, Mr. Foster gave everyone a cup of fruit loops :] he's a really nice man and a fun class to be in. Then in a+p we did this lab about the reflex arc and we got to experiment with a reflex mallet (the thing doctors use to tap on your knee, and you go kicking out of nowhere) haha pretty fun experimenting with that. We tried to use it on lily, and it seems that her leg is pretty much dead, not responsive at all haha. Judy and lily kept doing it to my leg, and when i like try to walk afterwarads, i would like feel weakness in my knees and i would like stumble a little haha. After school, pretty much everyone was at tennis or at Mrs. Ames except for Matt, so we went to the mall, walked around, looked at stuff and went to dollar tree to get some junk food.Came home, started to watch the blazers game but fell asleep ._. woke up to find that they're losing by 9 with 2 min left... i was pissed.. :\ Started to work on my lab, and NOW I'M FINISHED :DDD totally happy cause now i don't have as much to do tomorrow. And now im just chillaxing.
What a lame day. Major middle finger. It rained like a b-word today, totally lame. School was boring and lame. Pointless pretty much. Watched a stupid video in comm/personal growth and talked about this like one topic for an hour... even the Mrs. Beard felt there wasn't more to talk about the topic. Substitute in algebra, everyone just talked to one another, so that class was pointless. English was a snooze fest. Listening to a tape of a person reading... while we read along... WTH! that doesn't even make sense... reading while listening to someone else read.. When school day finally ended, when outside to find that it's pouring outside :\ walked in the rain. Came home and took a nap. Woke up to watch the blazers game which they lost by 2 >:[ and spent like and hour and a half manually uninstalling microsoft office 2007. omg.. then I was doing my physic homework, then i realized that there was a mistake in my calculations. No big deal right? NOT! i'm been using this same way of calculating like for the last couple of days in physics and the biggest concern was that i had the same mistake calculations in my lab that i turned in on Monday.... sigh.... FML today seem like such a bad day... so to cheer myself up, i started to read FML stories which cheered me up a little bit. Here are some;
Today, while working on a medical school application, I asked my mom what she thought my greatest challenge in life had been. She replied : "Trying to lose your virginity." FML
Today, I just studied for 13.5 hours completely outlining a book for history. Thirty minutes before the test, I realized I had been reading the wrong book. FML
Today, my parents met my boyfriends parents for the first time. When bailing us out of jail. FML
Today, I found out my angry ex girlfriend put Nair in my shampoo before moving out of my dorm. I'm now balding at 19. FML :]
hahaha pretty funny day XD well my day started early due to volunteering. Woke up around 7:30 go to Adventist around 7:55. 4 hours of boredom and sitting.... haha regular boring and slow sunday at the hosipital. we sat around the lobby doing homework and talking. funny thing that happened was that Shawn started to say "don't dew duh druk sara! (don't do the drug, but in the fob accent) haha i don't even know why he started to say that, but i decided to join in too. So shawn and I just went back and forth saying "don't dew duh druk sara!" to sara. and we said it pretty loud too haha. and i think like people in the lobby like heard us and actually thought sara does drug. haha so that was good for like half an hour. Soon it was 12 and we went to eat in the cafeteria. i got my usual cake, cause i always have a craving for cake.. :\ haha also got the vegetable lasagna which was actually pretty good. so we were all eating. then shawn said "im gonna go get a metal fork" (for his cake) and i was like "why? the fork might be like infested with diseases" haha but he got it anyways. when he dug his fork into his cake, and took a bite I was like "mmmmm taste those diseases. taste them HIV's and STD's" hahahaha the whole table laughed and he then decided to switch back to plastic fork haha soooo funny. We said don't do the druk to sara couple more time then we all left. me and joanna got a ride from shawn's mom. little did we know that we were going to share the whole back of the car with freshly cut trees o.o yup... trees... shawn's mom was apparently cutting trees before she came and pick shawn and us up. so shawn sat in the front, tree-free, while me and joanna sat in the back with the tree haha. it wasn't that bad, i was just graceful that they gave me a ride. yup, came home, took a nap, did my lab pretty quick to my amazement. pretty easy. pretty good day :] i would rate it an A.
Wow, what a beautiful day it was. The sun was out and shining, it wasn't tooo chilly at first but did get a little cold but it was alll good. Yup, and i also had a wonderful and easy day. I did my physics homework right before class started, but it turns out that the homework is extended to Monday which is fine with me i guess. I just watched a movie in global, and old classic film from like 1930 about WW1 but it was pretty interesting. Then I went to band where i just played on this really addicting game on Michael's phone and just moved stuff for Mr. Foster. A.p wasn't tooo bad, just took a little note, turned in the study which i didn't finish, so i got 15/20 but Mrs. Callies said i can finish it and turn it back in on Monday to get the other 5 which was coooooool. Got to leave after 30 min of class to go to the U of O gospel choir which was really good and they were very talented. After that I went and played tennis!!! haha haven't played in such a long time. I went and dusted my racket off (literally, it was covered it dust. havent touched it in like 4 months..) and hit some rallies with some friends. I think i still got it, still got some tennis skills. but i'm not gonna join the team. i feel like i don't have the time for that. haha but yea, felt like i got some much needed exercise in :] One of the best day i've had in a while.
I want to wish everyone who is sick right now a quick recovery; Mary Matt Sandra(so i heard) Lily Jim (kinda) And i think My-Van
Haha major FML (f my life) What a stressful day. Theses are the days where i wished i was a drop out... days like today.. The day started with me trying to memorize the last couple of lines of the Julius Caesar poem for the reciting in english, ugh. Then when it came lunch time, i had to go to the library and typed up my corraborations also for english which took like 25 min leaving me no time to study a little before the test in algebra which was right after lunch. Hence leading me to another thing that was stressful, the algebra test. I felt like i did well, maybe 100&, but i always having a feeling about certain answers i wrote that doesn't seem right.. but w/e. Then it was english, the poem.. Most of the class wasn't prepare and didn't want to do it. I sat infront of Mrs Whitmore, so i like turned back and looked at the pile of paper of the order people are going up and i would tell the person up next ahead of time. I also looked at what grade people got.I was like the 8th or 10th person going up infront of the class to recite. I went up there, and had the typical student stage fright/nervous-ness moment. I started out great, but around the middle or so my mind went completely blank.. i felt like i was floating somewhere haha i kinda trembled, my leg was kinda shakey, and i felt that my palm was kinda sweaty. yup, total gg haha. but i got through, with a little bit of help from Mrs. Whitmore and got 2 A's :] haha oo, viet like took the pile of papers and like looked through the order, and when i saw allen's name i told viet to put him on top so he would be next haha. funny. After school, came home, slacked off for like an hour, then worked on homework at like 6. worked the whole time since and still haven't finished... -.- FML!
O YEA! i'm planning to play tennis tomorrow after school. heard it's gonna be like 60 degrees and sunny tomorrow. Anyone care to join and play me?
