You is NOOOOOB! >:]

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. :]

Elizabeth is a beast.... O-BEASTED! haha
