Catching Lightning

Finals Week One

2011-06-11T11:54:00.000-07:00

Quickly's with Tim, Michelle, Ankush, and Brenden during fifth period.

I had to get Brenden in one of the pictures.

Before Kelly looked like a kitty.

Watching the boys play basketball during sixth period.

During fifth on Tuesday, we weren't during anything in class; so Tim, Michelle, Ankush, Brenden, and I ditched and went to Quickly's. We got Boba then sat around and just talked. Brenden and Ankush told us stories of each other in Junior High. Tim told us about his Junior High and druggies. Then the boys started talking about druggies and who is one at Troy. We went back to school. During sixth, I went to Panera with Sophia, Sarah, and Jimmy. Sarah and I got lost trying to find the car. We got there and studied and talked. Sarah and Jimmy left. We kept studying. (We also went Monday.)

Ankush. Michelle, and I ditched again during fifth on Wednesday and went to Starbucks and Yogurtland. We were almost late, because Ankush has a real class for sixth period. I helped Grace try to find her packet, but failed. I went to meet Michelle, but found Kelly, Sean, and Jeff. I got to put makeup on Jeff! We had to make him look like a panda! Michelle called and Jeff answered saying he was Thomas. She came and then we left after awhile. We watched the boys play basketball. After school, we studied together!

Thursday, I had the first half of my chem final and my Spanish final. The chem final wasn't that bad. Spanish sucked. It was partner, but it was still confusing. I worked with Michelle. Then collaborated with Jake and Brenden.

Friday, I had the first half of my math final and the last half of my chem final. Math was horrible. I failed, I know it. Chem was a little harder, but it was better than math. We ditched fifth again and went to Starbucks. While walking out Chris walked with us. He gave me a piggyback ride with one arm!

We came back and sat around. Our favorite sub talked to us! I went with Michelle so she could check in at Track. Nobody was there; so we just left. We walked around some. Chris proposed to us with flowers! We went back to Track and signed yearbooks.

I decided to go to Last Chance; so I dragged Daniel to take me to buy the ticket. Then I watched them dance some and went home.

I got somewhat ready then left for Crystal's house. I got dressed at her house with her, Sneha, and Sarah. We did makeup and hair. It took us over an hour. We had to sneak around her house so her parents wouldn't see us dressed like that. We camwhored in the bathroom. We walked part way then got picked up by Sneha's sisters.

When we first got there, we checked in then we thought we were gonna get dress coded so we snuck around the administration. We camwhored in the bathroom. Then we found the boys and talked some. Eventually, we went into the crowd and found people to dance with. I had a game / bet with Sebastian and I won ;D

Prom Takes Hollywood

2011-05-29T23:43:00.000-07:00

My lovely date <3

Group picture

The girls

Aaron, Tiffany, Patric

Miss Ana <3

My corsage that got glitter everywhere! <3

Tiffany and I met up at like 11:20 am and went to get our hair done. We got there early so we could get in early, because the original time would make us have to rush after. We did get in early! The lady I had was really nice! But, I think she hated my hair because it refused to stay curled. She kept trying then just gave me a can of hairspray and told me to spray before I leave, LOL. The whole time I wondered if she was related to Fidel Castro because her last name was Castro..

We went back to my house and started to get ready. We did our makeup and got dressed. I got to do Tiffany’s makeup and I didn’t totally fail! I was able to blend it even though it wasn’t for her skin tone ^__^ We took way too long so we were behind schedule. She ate a taco and I drank lemonade cause I already ate chili cheese fries.

Her mommy picked us up and we had to pickup Tiffany’s flower thingies. We were such haters and hated on the other girls there because they looked like whores. We liked how we said that when they had long dresses on and we had short dresses on..

We got to Cerritos Mall. I found Aaron and he put on his vest. Then we tried to check in but it was hard because it was just a huge mob. But, we did make it through! Then we went to put on the flower thingies! Tiffany took pictures. I couldn’t get his on, so Tiffany did it and I just faked it for the picture (: My corsage is really pretty! It’s freaking huge and glittery! All night I got glitter on people ^___^

Aaron and I walked around some. We talked to people. Erin saw me and first thing she said was, “YOU’RE GOING TO GET RAPED TONIGHT!” I was like thanks.. Her friend was like, “Did you just say she’s going to get raped?!” Then I went with Aaron to look at puppies! We picked out our puppy (: We looked at the shoe store and I played with heels! Then the buzzy thing buzzed.

We took our pictures! I actually really like them (: We started to wait in line to pick them but we had to leave to the park to get there on time. I saw Mommy and said hi and hugged her (: She made me feel a lot less stressed about the whole situation of the park and time etc. Kayla and I became dates because Jeff and Aaron wanted each other.

The way to the park was ridiculous and our prom disaster moment. In short, everyone got lost. Then we finally got the right directions and got there. We took group pictures then got on the bus.

The bus ride was crazy. It was loud and everyone was singing. People were on the pole ;D We had to play the radio because we didn’t have the connector. So when commercials came on we had to change it. Sometimes we thought the commercial was a song..

We got to the restaurant, Kate Mantilini. It was nice (: The place mats amused me. Tiffany and I bonded in the bathroom then came back. (Every dance we must go to the bathroom together at one point.) Luke stole a paper towel from the bathroom and used Ana’s fork and butter to draw a picture on it. He’s like you guys can’t laugh, this is serious. She came back and he presented it to her. It was freaking funny. She’s just like okay.. Aaron decided to use my plate and use butter to make a smiley face. He kinda failed. We ordered the Scottish Salmon! Aaron said I should feel guilty because killed a fishie that was about to vote :( We decided it had a life and etc before this (: We paid and the check worked out in the end.

We got back in the bus and this time we had to iPod connector because Leyton and Zak ran around during dinner to try to find one. So it was loud and etc. We got to The Kress!

We got to take a picture of the “Red Carpet.” We went it and it was fun (: We went to the roof for awhile. Aaron saw people he wanted to talk to so we did. I found Jun and Alex! Then we went back down and danced.

After the dance, we all stood around outside waiting for everybody. It was cold :( Then we went to wait in the bus because Ana and Luke’s stuff got mmixed up. They came and we left. We were trying to decided if we wanted to eat or not. We just went to Troy and would decide there. We blasted music. I used Aaron’s tie to blindfold him and cover his mouth, so he couldn’t hear or talk and to kidnap him (: I was tired and he broke free :( They said we should just get dropped off somewhere random and try to find our way home. We got back and had issues deciding what to do next. My daddy showed up, so Aaron came to my house to get picked up at.

We got to my house and I was going to cook for him but then didn’t. I thought his daddy might show up to soon.. I let my mommy and daddy meet him! They talked and stuff. Then my parents left. So we just sat around and talked. His daddy came. I failed at kidnapping him, because I let him go home.

I talked to my mommy and daddy. They liked Aaron ^___^

Pho and Prom Prep

2011-05-21T21:28:00.000-07:00

Driving around with Jimmy.

He's creepy and does Screamo for me.

Quickly's with Michelle (:

Michelle "asked" me to Prom, LOL.

On Friday, during Business Ana and I online shopped for Prom dresses. The guys helped us! Chris was really helpful and opinionated and he isn't even going, haha. Downum was like what are you guys doing?! (Before she thought Alex was looking at porn, so she didn't trust us.) Then she saw what we were doing and talked about dresses with us! She let us keep looking instead of working, HAHA. We had to vote for employee of the week for our businesses. I rigged Ana's business group's votes, and changed Alex and Aaron's to Ana, so Ana would win. She won.

During sixth, Rajvir drove Spencer, Michelle, Chaz, and I to get food. He dropped Spencer, Michelle, and I off a t Starbucks while they went to 7/11. Michelle got Yogurtland and then we went back. Michelle and I bonded some.

After school, I went to get Pho with Jimmy and Pho Olivia, near Quickly's. We ate and talked. Sophia texted him and asked if we wanted to go to the movies. Before that we went to meet his mom and the tux shop to get him fitted. There were so many people there. I saw a guy from my SAT class and he waved and smiled at me! I didn't think he'd recognize me cause I sat behind him, haha. We got him fitted and went to pick up Sophia.

We got to her house and just walked in on her changing. She's like learn how to knock! We sat around some and got ready to go to Birch. We convinced her that he got a white tux, white shoes, and hot pink vest and tie. She was scared and like I hope you guys are kidding.. We got to the movies and got our tickets then she wanted to eat. We just sat there and said we're going to The Hat after. She's like you have to go to my dad's restaurant! But we're like NAHH.

We went to see Priest. It was weird.. I was freaking tired too.. After we left and were going to go to The Hat but thought it might be closed, so we went to Panda Express. We ate then went to Jimmy's. We shunned her and then loved her.

Saturday, I woke up really early and wondered if my mom was home to go shop but I fell asleep instead. Then I woke up really late. I ate and got ready to go. My mom took me to South Coast Plaza to go Prom dress shopping. We looked around but there was nothing I liked. I didn't try on much because I didn't even like them enough to try on. Then we went to Fashion Island. I tried on more there and found a dress I kinda liked. I tried it then wanted to go see the store at South Coast Plaza that is that brand's store. We bought it just in case and then went back to South Coast. We found the store and tried on a bunch of dresses. I bought one! It was like what I had in mind before I went shopping!

We returned the other dress at the same store but at South Coast. On the way home, my mom was really tired and I was sucking up to her for spending six hours shopping with me. She bought a pizza and we came home.

Good Day

2011-05-07T15:37:00.000-07:00

The flowers I bought for my mommy.

Waiting at the bus stop.

She's weird.

Tiffany saw how our clothes were and said we should take a picture.

Yesterday, I had a really good day. During first, I checked my SAT practice test score and I got a twelve on the essay ^__^ I was really happy. Connie decided I need to be complimented more, so we complimented each other during second. I actually figured out what's going on in math and chem! Fifth period I just sat around with Brenden, Jake, and Michelle. We talked and played games. I talked to David during sixth. I tried to make things awkward but it didn't work. He just went with whatever I did or said. Michelle and Anthony came and watched the swimmers warm-up.

After school, I went to the mall with Tiffany. We went to go find Mothers' Day gifts and her sister's birthday gift. We looked some then went to Nordstroms and started to try things on. We went from not wanting to shop to buying everything. I got three shirts but I'm going to return one. We went to another store and I got lip gloss and key lanyard. The lip gloss smells really good. We tried to look for a vase for Mommy Ju, but couldn't find one. Then we just went to TGI Fridays. Tiffany was extremely happy about the two for twenty deal. We ate shrimp cocktail and a magician did tricks for us! At my house, we just sat around and talked. We looked at clothes online.

Today, I took the actual SAT. I saw David, Edison, Eric, Sean, and Eric. I attacked David and tried to trip Edison. It was eh. My parents picked up The Hat but I didn't feel like eating that. After my dad finished we went to Niko Niko and got Mommy Ju a gift card then picked up Tiffany. I drove us to David's house. Daniel comes out asking who it is in a really weird way. Mommy came out and we handed her the flowers and gift card. She was happy! Lauren gave us hugs and we went to say hi to David. He ignored us :( We had to go and so did they. David gave me a makeup hug for ignoring us.

On the way home, we stopped at a florist and bought flowers for our mommies. We bought these ones with roses, carnations, and fillers. They are pretty. We dropped Tiffany off at her house and came home. I surprised my mommy. She was confused at first but then she was happy!

Filming Day One

2011-05-04T22:12:00.000-07:00

I was preparing for the movie by eating food, so we can have the wrappers as trash.

More food that we ate and money to buy more food.

During fourth, we were suppose to start working on the video project. But instead, Grace and I went to see what we brought and ate. We had to eat because we needed the wrappers as trash for our video, so we did work. She gave me a piggyback ride down the breezeway and to Alex. He didn't want us there, but Michelle loves us. Then we went to visit the dancers. We went back and ate more, then left again. We got more food. I left Grace and sat with Mindy and Jennifer. I scared Mindy because I was sneaky. Then I went back and Grace didn't love me.

After school we started to film. Brenden, Daniel, and Rick just fail at listening. Brenden and Daniel were trying to get the lines, but kept messing around. Rick was just sitting there being a distraction. Then Faiz, Kevin, and Jason came and left. It took forever to get started. We filmed the friend scene then tried the breakup scene but PSST started practicing. We went to find somewhere quieter, but the band was playing. The school just hates us. We filmed by the pool. Brenden and I did the break up scene after like a million tried. Brenden and Daniel kept laughing and singing. They wanted to make it a Korean Drama -__- Brenden walk funny apparently. I saw Mommy Ju and said hi. Brenden and Grace were confused if it was my real mom. Daniel was like it's David's mom. I came back, we tried again. We finally got it! Then we moved to go film the makeup scene. This one guy was going to help us, but then we found a way to do it without him. Then Brenden and Daniel did the first part of the scene. Brenden is suppose to call my name, but he decided I'm Shaniqua.. We messed around a lot. Daniel had to leave. Then another girl, Grace, came out of review and filmed for us because Grace needed to be in the scene. Brenden had to sit between us and push her out of the way. It took awhile because of weird reasons. We had to pause after, but he would start talking. Then we decided to finish filming another day cause it was already five.

Food Day

2011-05-02T19:04:00.000-07:00

Super cup Boba, Popcorn Chicken, and Brenden's watch.

I freaking love Brenden Eum. During fifth we decided we're hungry and are going to go eat after school. I got shotgun (: We stopped at Quickly's cause other people wanted a ride there. So we got Boba and Popcorn Chicken. After sitting with them for awhile, he asks me if I want Spam Musabi. So of course I say yes. Then he drives us to L&L. We got Spam Musabi while finishing what we got from Quickly's. We just talked and bonded. We had freaking weird conversations. I had to leave. On the way home, I realized I had his watch still. Then I realized he has my binder and jacket. We aren't very smart...

Sliders and Flowers

2011-04-30T23:15:00.000-07:00

My favorite one is the bottom left-hand corner.

This morning I woke up and went to go take my last practice SAT. I'm really scared because I thought the math sections were really easy. During the test, I noticed how badly I need to trim my bangs. This one passage I was like I give up. After that section, the guy behind me said to the other guy, "That passage was brutal. I just gave up after the first column." It was about some Greek thing or whatever. Everyone around me just gave up.

After the test my cousin and her boyfriend picked me up, because my parents ditched me. Henry took us to Sliders. You can customize your burger and stuff. Jessie was highly amused with the lemonade mixers. Henry showed me a video of a car like snowboarding, I guess you can say. The burgers were huge and hard to eat. They tasted okay. I liked the fried macaroni and cheese!

They dropped me off at home and I sat around some. Later, I went to the nursery with my mom so she could look at flowers. She had me drive, and she's the most annoying person to drive. She criticized me looking at the next lane, when I had to move over.

The nursery wasn't that bad, but then I learned there was a whole other section. In that section I just sat around because I felt dead. I sat inside after.

We went to Target. We bought random things. I finally got this nail polish color that I have been wanting. It's taupe. My mom said it's ugly. She got some purple/reddish color. I got berry flavored cough drops!

We stopped for Boba then finally went home. It was only then my mom realized that I'm sick, even though I told her before we left. I painted my nails. She said it looks prettier on and isn't that bad.

When I'm sick, I can't have things messy because it stresses me out and makes me impatient. So I cleaned my room really, really well. It's usually clean, but this time I cleaned my closet. It's so sad to look in there and see so much but yet find nothing to wear.

I remembered and trimmed my bangs. Then got a box of Kleenex and took pills. I think I'll watch What Happens in Vegas for the millionth time.

Karaoke Night

2011-04-23T13:47:00.000-07:00

Jun refuses to take pictures. Zak let's me take a million!

Camwhoring at Crystal's house.

Friday night, I went karaoking at Ziller with Crystal, Jake, Jun, Leyton, and Zak. First I met Crystal at her house and helped her put up her mirror. We would compliment each other then cancel it out with an insult. We left to go meet up with the boys.

They were waiting for us outside, so we had to walk by like we don't know them because Crystal's mom was there. When she left we went outside to see them. We stood around for awhile and the guys checked out cars that drove by. This creepy lady was staring at us, but mainly Jun.

We went inside and got our room. We looked through the books and Zak came. Everything was expensive, so we only bought Redbulls. Leyton decided that he's coming back high one day because of the lights. Then we finally picked a song to start with. Jun would do some in Korean for us. Crystal and I did Party in the USA and got a 98 on it! We only got one 100 and forgot who it was that got it. Later, Jake and I tried to rap and we failed, badly. All of us did Don't Stop Believing and recorded it.

Crystal's mom picked me and Crystal up. We picked up McDonalds and went back to her house. The cashier forgot all of Crystal's food. Crystal was sad and stole her brother's food. We ate and took pictures. Then she wanted to put up the butterflies in her room. We're both not artistic so after three butterflies we stopped and decided Gina can do it when she comes over someday. We looked through this bag of stuff and pictures. Then we bonded over clothes and shopping.

Good Eating

2011-04-19T19:05:00.000-07:00

My Grandma on her birthday.

The Kalua for dinner.

Lately, I've been eating really yummy food. So yummy, that yes, I had to make a post about it. On Sunday, I got Udon. Monday, I got Chicken Katsu and Spam Musabi for my lunch and dinner. Tuesday, I got Boba, spicy popcorn chicken, and Kalua.

We went to Niko Niko on Sunday for dinner to pick up food. The people sitting at the bar were so drunk. They were yelling and singing Shots. One girl got some sushi thing she really liked so she kissed the chef. They were just weird. My dad and I realized why everyone else was sitting outside.

During sixth on Monday, Michelle ditched practice and went to go get food with me. She wanted Chipotle, so we stopped there. Then we walked to L&L Hawaiian BBQ, because I wanted that. While we were waiting at Chipotle, we decided we wanted doughnuts too. After we got my Katsu, we went to the doughnut shop next door. The man was really nice! We walked in and he was like, do you want one of everything? So we laughed and ordered. While ordering one, he's like do you want them all? He was so nice! We ate out doughnuts on the way back and were going back to school to eat the rest.

Santa Barbara Recap

2011-04-15T23:44:00.000-07:00

Top left: Capybaras. Top right: Elephants.
Bottom left: Penguins. Bottom right: Giraffes.

Wednesday through Friday I was in Santa Barbara with my mom and dad. We really didn't do that much but I am really tired. Wednesday, we went to the Santa Barbara Zoo. My mom really likes animals, so she wanted to go. My dad and I just kinda went with it. I decided to get involved and take the pictures! After that we drove to the beach. On the way, my grandma called me. It was really weird because I didn't know she even had my number and she never called me before. Anyways, we got to the beach. I just laid around. My dad just kinda sat there and waited for me and my mom to stop being lazy. I stole a rock to give to Grace. We left and went to the hotel. After awhile, we decided where to eat and walked there. They had yummy bread and big portions. The half sized portions were huge. It made us wonder what the full sized portions were like. I drew on the paper and wrote compliments for whoever ends up cleaning the table. After that we went to shop some. We didn't find anything. We got Starbucks and went back to the hotel.

Thursday, my parents woke me up early. We went shopping for the whole day. The street was a mile long with branches and it was all stores and food! My dad had a lot of fun. I barely bought anything for how long the street was. I only bought three things. It's weird cause they had a lot of stores I like. The Forever 21 was three stories and I didn't buy anything. I redid my second piercing and bought earrings and a shirt. We bought something to send my sister since she couldn't come. After walking probably four miles we went back to the hotel then went out to eat. We went to Yogurtland after dinner. While walking back to the hotel a homeless man with another guy and dog asked for donations and leftovers from people. My mom gave him her leftovers. Later, she said she hope they give some to the dog. (Santa Barbara is filled with homeless people.)

Friday morning we woke up and left. On the way home we stopped at an outlet mall. It was really big. We all bought something! My dad got shoes. My mom got mini bowls. I got two shirts! It was the most successful shopping day of our vacations. We ate there. I got Boba but it wasn't that good. Then we headed back home. I went to my room and knocked out.

Reunions and Parties

2011-04-15T22:45:00.000-07:00

Met up with Jr High friends.

It's no secret that she loves me <3

It's like a spiderweb and it hurt.

On Tuesday, I met up with some of my old Jr High friends and Tiffany. I missed Jamba Juice cause I showed up late. So I met them at Target. I kept playing with the Wack-a-Mole. Every time I did they took it away from me :( They think I have too much anger and frustration to play with it without breaking it. Which was probably true. But I kept sneaking over there to hit it and every time Stephanie came and took it away from me. Then I found Bop-it and played with that. Tiffany, Rachel, and I kept playing with them. Rachel got the highest score. Tiffany got the lowest. Then we left and went to get Boba. Rachel tasted my Boba and didn't like it. We just sat around and talked. We camwhored.

Tiffany's aunt picked up me and Tiffany to go to Neeraj's party. We got there and I hated Tiffany. Eventually we all went to the party and pool. I swung on the swings! The higher I got the more it hurt.. The seat was too small. Tiffany, Katie, and I just sat near the water and talked. Then we went out to the park again. We took pictures and then went back to the swings. I made a sandcastle. It was getting dark so we all headed back to Neeraj's house. Julian Xu gave me a piggyback ride back! He wanted to race with Ben. We won! Ben said it's cause Tiffany is too fat.

I was tired and just sat and laid on his bed. Then Ben came and tried to claim the bed. We fought over it. He's fat and wouldn't move. He kept poking me and said it wasn't his finger. I'm like you're stupid. We kept bugging each other. Tiffany and Katie came. We all just sat on top of him. Then the bed broke, so we all got off and pretended we were never on there.

We ate dinner and sat around and talked. It was time to leave. So we all gave Ben hugs. I made him get up and give me a hug! It's an accomplishment worth mentioning cause he's so damn fat.

We dropped off Katie. Then I sat around Tiffany's for awhile. We talked and somewhat bonded.

Tiffany's Birthday

2011-04-11T12:46:00.000-07:00

My birthday present to Tiffany on the left and her present to me on the right.

(Oh and Edison helped pay for both.)

Dim sum for Tiffany's birthday lunch.

I bonded with her cousins.

Patric drinking hot tea in a plastic cup with a straw because we didn't let him drink the tea with a straw in the teacup.

I made paper worms with Sophie.

I woke up around 8:30am because my phone went off. I decided to stay up to get things done. So I took a shower and ate. Later, I went to the mall to go buy her jumbo Mickey Mouse.

I was walking through this one store to get to the Disney Store and I saw shorts. I was like those are the kind I've been looking for. So I ended up trying them on and buying them.

While I was waiting I was looking at the mini stuffed animals. If you spent thirty you could get one for five. They were originally like fifteen. I really wanted one cause they were so cheap. Then I was like no and walked away. I thought to myself if they offer it to me at the counter I'm screwed. So they decided to offer it to me at the counter. He's like want me to ring it up to see how much it is? I said okay and he did. He picked out the one I wanted too. It wasn't fair.. They got me when I was vulnerable. So yes, I ended up buying a bunny from Bambi. She has a pink bow! The mall was just too tempting..

I got back home and got ready. I left for Tiffany's. When I got to her house we left to Dim Sum. Patric tried to do a magic trick. I was a very involved audience member and messed up his trick. He tried to cover it up by picking out cards and saying these aren't your card. He put the one we picked in that pile. Then we laughed and he's like it is in the pile huh? It was the one on top so I turned it to him and was like was this our card? He decided we're mean. He tried to do it again with just me but I don't listen very well.

We decided to look at the Asian Market next door while we waited. We found a bunch of yummy food. Patric was amused with all the food and was like I should buy this.

We went back to the restaurant and ate. Patric wanted to use a straw to drink the tea out of. We were like no don't be stupid. Later, he just dumped it in the plastic cup and drank it that way. I shut up and eat. Patric questions everything. I made paper worms with Sophie.

After we had Patric drive us to Starbucks and Target. He only did it because it was Tiffany's birthday. At Target, we bought all the cheap mixes to make cupcakes. Everything was on sale! We also bought Tangled to watch. Patric is a horrible parker.

At her house we made cupcakes. I mixed it. Sophie and Tiffany scooped it into the paper cups.

I played outside with Sophie and Amber. (Tiffany's little cousins) They liked playing with water. I helped Amber fill the water shooter. Then shot it out for her. Sophie kept making it rain.

We went back inside and we all watched Tangled. Tiffany and I frosted the cupcakes. Then dinner was ready. Amber came and wanted up. So I picked her up and fed her the broth of the soup. Tiffany is like you're really good with little kids. I said people don't expect that. She said it's because I have no patience for other people. Which is very true.. Amber decided to feed herself using the oyster shell and using that as a spoon. She's very messy. I fed her again and then she got down.

We hung out in Tiffany's room. Patric left. Tiffany and I went on Tumblr. We looked at stuff and bonded. Then I went home.

Stress and Countdowns

2011-04-06T22:03:00.000-07:00

Michelle and I camwhoring in Spanish.

We're attractive.

This week just, well, sucks. It's the week before Spring Break and time is barely passing. All day it felt later than Wednesday, maybe Thursday. I actually don't have many test. I only have one test. But my grade is dying ever since I met Grace. I don't even sit by her! We sit across the room but we have a direct view of each other. We'd be better off sitting next to each other and talking than us just staring at each other. I really want to pass the test with an A but I don't know what will happen..

Julian is out sick so during sixth I've going to see David. Which isn't bad, it's just abnormal. Today, David tried to help me study but he was doubtful about what he was saying. He had to go get ready to swim, so I went to see if my teacher was still there. He wasn't. I decided to go to my locker but I found Spencer instead and talked to him. Grace came and stole my stuff. I went to Avendanos to study with her.

Jason was going to come visit after school but my dad was being dumb and told me I had to come home. Cindy, Alex, and I harassed Daniel instead. Daniel hates us but I think he actually loves us. He walked me out even though he was like I hate you the whole time. He's been walking me everywhere this week. I guess because Julian usually walks me everywhere and since Julian is out sick Daniel is walking me everywhere.
Two more days until Spring Break..

Worst Week Ever

2011-03-30T22:19:00.000-07:00

My car handle broke.

I hate this week with a passionate, fiery hate. Today and yesterday were horrible. Yesterday, I saw how bad my grades are. I did horrible on my history test. To top it off, my car handle broke when I opened the door. This moron kid decided to pick at his scab during tutoring. Today, the worst math test ever. Nobody finished. Not even the girl who asked a hundred questions per day. Then my shoe broke during third. For the first time in his life, Avendano decided to care if we cheat. So he made it impossible. I had SAT class. I want to go bake something for someone's birthday but I don't know if I have time. Chem test tomorrow and it's theory. I can't do theory. I'm deprived of sleep. I hate this week so much.

Jessie's Birthday

2011-03-28T21:25:00.000-07:00

My cousin's twenty-third birthday.

The cake was really pretty.

Top row: Henry (her boyfriend), Me, and Kyle (my other cousin)

Bottom row: Annie (her cousin), Jessie the birthday girl, and Tiffany (her other cousin)

My mom woke me up on Sunday to tell me to get ready to go to the mall again. But this time just me and my dad were going to buy a new iPod because mine was broken. We got there and filled out this form to trade mine in for a discount. The guy kept trying to unfreeze mine but I told him the button was broken. He's figured out that was the problem.

My daddy bought me pizza because I hadn't eaten. So I ate on the way home. It tasted really good because I'm used to school pizza. We got home and I set-up the iPod.

We went to my cousin's house for her birthday. I studied some like a nerd. Then we ate. It was really good. I ate a lot of good food this weekend.

Afterward we played Scattergories. I'm so good at that game. They were telling Tiffany and Annie about my previous answers. Annie asked me "How do you come up with so funny answers?" We played some and then Annie wanted to be my partner. So we played and kicked ass. We won that game, sixty points in five rounds. My last answer was my glory moment. It asked for a crime that started with R. I said Redneck hunting. Somehow I always come up with questionable answers that people can't say is wrong.

We left after dessert, so I could do homework. I got home and baked brownies for Jimmy's birthday. Then I sat around and procrastinated. I finally took a shower and came back and kind of worked. Instead Spencer and Jimmy kept distracting me. But I finally finished and tried to study for history. Instead I fell asleep.

Errands and Such

2011-03-28T21:13:00.000-07:00

This is the birthday card my sister made me. She painted it and designed all of it.

Saturday morning I was completely dead. I couldn't decide if I was still tired from eating too much or because I stayed up late texting Julian. Anyways, I went to go take a practice SAT. I forgot my calculator like an idiot, so I didn't do as well as I could have. We got out earlier so I waited around to get picked up.

They picked me up and we drove to the airport to drop off my sister. It was her last day of Spring Break, so she was heading back up North. They didn't make us stay there for a long time like before. I was hungry so it worked out.

My mom decided she wanted to go to the mall to find my cousin a gift. We got there and my parents got a cinnamon roll to share and I got Boba. After I went to Victoria's Secret to look at bathing suits and such. I took a really long time because I couldn't decide if I liked it. I didn't get it because it was missing something and I didn't want to pay for something that didn't have all the parts to it. But it's a really pretty bikini and I do want it. I'm trying to decide if I need it.

Then I went to Forever 21. There was a lot of new things. While I was trying things on this annoying lady kept yelling he daughter's name. I just wanted to tell her to shut up and maybe her kid isn't there. Then she finally found her. Out of the million items I tried on I only found two and bought one.

I went searching for an iPod case. I looked at three places and that's when my parents came back so they got impatient. But I finally found one. So we left. We picked up In n Out on the way home.

International Show and Double Downs

2011-03-28T20:44:00.000-07:00

The before and after of mine and Daniel's Double Downs.

We both had to finish a Double Down.

It's Brenden.. I just love this boy.

During sixth, I went to Starbucks with Sophia. We talked about how we wonder how Jimmy gets girls and other random things. I got back and hung out with Mindy. This guy thought I was Ryan's sister, so we both went up and treated him like our brother. Except, Ryan really is Mindy's brother. We sat around and talked.

After school, I hung out with Julian. I talked to him and Ryne. They were talking about clubs and then we got on topic about how my sister's boyfriend is a hippie. I walked Julian to his bus. Then I went to go watch FUZE practice. Jason Chen came to visit! He drove me, Tiffany, and Mindy to the mall. He never turned when I told him to. I got road rage at the drive.. Shit. We offered him food but he didn't want to stay so he left. We shopped around. We looked to see if they had anything to wear to Sadies. I finally bought new sunglasses. Then I tried on new bathing suits. We had to leave because Jason was super nice and picked us up.

We drove to In n Out. Mindy and Tiffany went in to order. We were going to go to the drive through but there was none. That was the worst parking lot ever. It was freaking small, crowded, and ridiculous. I got road rage for Jason! The lady was just stupid. We ordered our food. Tiffany dropped the drinks for the boys' as she got in the car.

We got to International Show and it was full. They performed and we ate our food. I liked the modern dance for Korean Club and PSST. FUZE was better than I thought they would be. Mindy and I got bored during some of the show, but we lived. Tiffany threw something at us and spilled another drink. It wasn't her day.

After the show, we decided to go eat again. Jason drove me and Cindy. We waited for the others and got Yogurtland. Then they decided to go across the street to Pieology. Daniel and I went next door to get Double Downs from KFC. He bought it as my late birthday present. We both had to finish it. He cheated and had people help him. But I ate it all by myself. We felt the heartburn and tiredness. We sat on the couch dying. There was something spicy that made it harder to eat. I finished then continued to die on the couch. When I couldn't die on the couch, Brenden's shoulder became my pillow.

Asking Julian to Sadies

2011-03-24T23:09:00.000-07:00

Left: The cover of the pizza box designed like Toy Story 3 movie poster.
Center: The inside flap. It reads, "I may not be a leader like Woody. I may not be brave like Buzz. I may not be tough like Jessie. But, I will be your Barbie.. if you'll be my Ken."
Right: The cookie that he was able to break within a hour.
Not pictured: Bucket of Toy Story's toy soldiers and a stuffed flower.

Chris and I left first early to go deliver the cookie and stuff to Julian. Chris walked in and Avendano was like REALLY JULIAN?! He gave him the cookie and bucket of the toy soldiers. Then Julian came out to see me. I held out a stuffed flower and said, Will you go to Sadies with me? He said yes and the people that were watching went AWWWW.

I wasn't inside but this is what I was told that happened.. Avendano made fun of Chris and said it's cute he's asking Julian to Sadies. Julian was sleeping, so he got woken up. He was really confused and then Chris gave him the stuff and was like go outside.

CVS & SAT

2011-03-24T22:53:00.000-07:00

Yesterday, I went to CVS with Mindy during sixth. We were going to find stuff for me to use to ask Julian to Sadies. We looked and everything Toy Story was too much money, so we gave up. Instead we found these Hello Kitty dolls and bought them instead. I also bought Tic Tacs to give to Julian.

We got back to Troy and went to Tennis to show off our Hello Kitty. Julian was sitting on the bench. He didn't feel well. He left to feel better and we sat there and talked. We decided it was smart for me to buy the Tic Tacs in case he got really sick. I went to go buy him more water and we found him again. He went to get his stuff and we all left. Mindy left us and we sat at this bench. I gave him the water and Tic Tacs. We bonded until we had to leave.

My dad and I went to Giovanni for a pizza box. Then we went Target to go find things for me to use to ask. I took a long time and he got impatient. Then I finally decided

I had the first class of SAT. It's all Sonora kids and then me and three Sunny Hills kids. I met this girl named Liz. We're the only girls in the class. We went to watch basketball during the breaks. The teacher had us do some name game. Then we finished.

I got home and my sister wanted to celebrate my birthday cause she wasn't here when we ate and stuff. So they bought me a cake and we ate.

Later, I decided to finally get ready to ask Julian to Sadies. I baked the cookie and got the other stuff. It was late so I went to bed when my sister finished helping me.

Sister Comes Home

2011-03-22T22:03:00.000-07:00

I was highly amused with the random tomato just plopped in the middle of the salad. It was just one tomato sitting there awkwardly.

This restaurant just provided amusement for me. The flag amused me also. I don't know why but it did.

Yesterday, my sister came home for Spring Break. I fell asleep early so we didn't do anything. But today, she wanted Mexican food because, according to her, they don't have Mexican food in Northern California. I got fish and it tasted nasty. It tasted like the ocean.

I watched Tangled during first and second. Everyone kept going, is that Tangled?! I tried watching during third but Mason hates me and made me pass out papers.

It was the first day of International Week. So I dragged Grace with me to find food and boba. Then she left me and I found Jun. He bought me food as a late birthday present. It made me happy!

During sixth, I did homework with Julian again. He kept stealing my book, so I would have to think and not use the book. I was like I didn't read it yet. He didn't care. But I stole it back, after he practically fought me for it. I like it when he ditches Tennis. It means I get to hang out with him during sixth AND he walks me to my car (:

Spanish Project

2011-03-20T13:41:00.000-07:00

We spent five minutes picking out beans. It was hard to choose between: Pinto Beans, Black Beans, and some other random bean. We chose Pinto.

Jake and Brenden are just special. But they pushed the cart and carried stuff, so it's okay.

I did Koala to Brenden. He used to wall to be able to move and drag me.

The only picture of us cooking on here. Actually, we aren't even cooking. We're just pouring the meat into the container.

I love my Spanish group <3

Yesterday, we had to cook for our Spanish project. After finding the recipes, we went shopping for the ingredients. On the way back, Jake was joking around and freaking out about Brenden's driving. He's like, MICHELLE DON'T TALK. Then made it look like Michelle almost made Brenden hit someone.

We got back and Jake had to leave. So we started cooking without him. This disgusting looking taco bowl was the first thing we made. It was really confusing the instructions, so we improvised. I don't think we did the top right, because we just laid a tortilla across the top. While waiting for it, we camwhored. We made Brenden look like a pimp sitting in between two girls. The food came out and looked disgusting. We tried to make it prettier by putting cheese on top. Brenden tasted it and said it was actually really good. So Michelle and I tasted it too. It was good! Then we filled in the spots that we took from with cheese.

We sat around and decided we'll wait for Jake to get back so he can have pictures too. We squished each other. Jake came and was like I thought we were going to work on a project. But then he sat or laid across me. Michelle and I tried to nap but that failed when they kept moving.

They got up only so they could play with my dogs. Then we went back to cooking. We made the things for burritos. We played with a Hula Hoop. Jake went home. The rest of us went to go eat. Brenden kept wanting to turn right when we weren't even there yet. Every time you could turn right, he wanted to.

We ate at Corner Bakery. Awkward discussions and talked about dances. Then we left to go finish the cake.

The cake completely failed. It kept crumbling and it just ended up being uglier than our first dish. We gave up and fried ice instead. Brenden left, so me and Michelle cleaned up. We talked about Sadies. I told her my idea on how to ask and she's like oh come up with one for me! So we did. Then she went home.

Simon's Visit

2011-03-17T20:54:00.000-07:00

Simon decided this is the best burger he's ever had. It didn't look crappy and looked really big and delicious.

Simon came today at lunch to take me out to eat. I was asked why he was dressed so nice. He said for me because he has to impress me, but apparently I don't have to impress him. (I wasn't dressed up in anything decent today, haha.) He showed me a song that totally described him. Then he rapped for me. We stopped at the bank so he could get money. Then we went to In N Out and got food. We decided I'm going to be late and that we didn't care. So when we got back he wanted to visit Ngo. I was already really late, so I made him walk me to class.

During sixth, I went to Panera with Sophia and Michelle. I got a smoothie because I was craving something cold and sweet. I really wanted Yogurtland, so we stopped there on the way back too. (I probably consumed 2000 calories in two hours..) This man asked us for money so he could support his family. Sometimes, I wonder if those stories are true but I wanted to help him anyways (:

I helped this one girl in math and I couldn't figure out how this problem worked. Nathan didn't know either. We're both like I don't think that's possible? Troy has failed us. I don't know how he got into UCLA if he can't figure out a seventh grade problem.

The stickers I get with my Botan Rice Candy. I think they're cute.

I absolutely love Grace (: I creeped on her Tumblr and she wrote a post about me. It made my day! I've only known her for eight days but it seems so much longer, in the good way. I was talking to Connie before and she was shocked I only knew Grace for like a week. She said she thought Grace was a junior and we've known each other since freshman year.

Shopping List

2011-03-17T00:11:00.000-07:00

~~Dark blue denim shorts~~
~~Sunglasses~~
~~Sunglasses' case~~
~~Liquid eyeliner~~
Sandals
~~iPod touch~~
~~iPod case~~
Keyring lanyard
~~Makeup bag~~
~~Compact powder~~
~~Tangled DVD~~

I came up with this list when my sister wanted to know what I want for my birthday. So hopefully, she will help me out on this. If not then I'll just get my lazy ass up and go shopping.

Sometimes, I think I should go buy my own camera but then I think I can just use my parents. They don't use it that much and I use it on occasion, so it balances out. Then I thought when I do get a new iPod touch it will have a camera on it. The iPod I have right now is broken. The menu button doesn't work so it's stuck on just the music screen or if I plug it in it goes to the menu. But then whatever you choose to go to is what it is stuck on. That's why I need a new one. Apple does this thing where if you give them your old iPod they will recycle it and you get a discount. The discount is only like 10%, so in short they pay tax but it's better than nothing!

My sunglasses got scratched :/ I never got around to buying a case for them, so this time I will get one when I get them! Same as the iPod case. I want to keep it in better condition than I did to the one I currently have.

So a lot of these are replacements for something I already have but neglected to take care of. Such as the liquid eyeliner (not working well) and compact powder (running out.)
