Eighteenth Post. Vampires Suck?

Today I went to see Vampires Suck with my besties. I must say, it's one of the worst movies in the world. It was funny, but stupid funny. Not clever funny. I'll probably never see it again. Like Twilight. I still haven't seen Eclipse yet.. I used to be in love with the books. Now I can't even stand it :P Harry Potter ftw! :) Now I'm at Kylie's. Yesterday (August 20th) was her first birthday! The same as Demi Lovato's. Lucky girl. I'm talking about both of them.. Can't wait till she grows up, just fingers crossed she won't be as spoiled as my other two cousins who were the first born into the family. When she's my age, I'll be 28. or 29. Damn. I'm gonna be old.. Hopefully she'll be like the little sister I never had :P Bottom line. Vampires.. Suck.

Seventeenth Post. Meeting with the peeps.

Well, peeps.. as in.. people i'm gonna be working with for my new club! I've always wanted to do something to change the world. So how do we change the world? One act of random kindness at a time! I just quoted Morgan Freeman in Evan Almighty the movie. That's why I named my club 1ARK. I've had this idea for a couple months already and worked on a powerpoint for it for a couple weeks. I have to admit my selfish reason for this is because I really want to get into a good college. I know I can't do that basing on my GPA so I really want to do something big that can stand out in my college application. But mostly, I really want to do something that'll change the world. I want to contribute to this community as much as possible. So in this club, we're going to be having bake sales, fundraisers, can drives, food drives, and car washes, and etc. So obviously we haven't thought of something big, we wanted something big enough to be on the OC Register or something. So for right now, we really need to think of something big. Something that can change the world forever. But, as Morgan Freeman (God) said... How do we change the world? One act of random kindess at a time :)

Sixteenth Post. Four day weekend with Britt.

So much has happened! Tuesday, I went to Britt's house and took photos! So many photos.. 200 on tuesday, 200 on wednesday, 200 on thursday. Daaayum. We also walked to blockbuster and rented Date Night & John Tucker Must Die. And we watched J.T.M.D when we got home while we drank our caramel light frappucino :) That movie was hilarious.. Brittany Snow from Hairspray is pretty :) I wanna watch it again. Wednesday, we swam in her pool. Awesome pool I tell u. We played kiddie games :) Noodles are awesome. Hahaha then we spent 2 hours doing each others hair and makeup.. I looked so freaking.. i dk.. mature? I hated it. I dk, I think natural is so much better, the photos were better when I was natural too. Watched Date Night that night, for my fourth time :P Still funny! I need to buy that movie. Steve Carrel & Tina Fey are the most hilarious couple in the universe. Thursday, beach! woke up, ate pancakes, and prepared for the beach! It was about 75 degrees in New Port that noon. Cold at first, saw some cute guys, went in the water for a little, took pictures. Ate sandwiches, clean up, and walked to Albertsons across the street. Bought food for later on and took more pictures. Passed by Woodbridge Band Camp on the way home, texted Patty, telling him I saw him. Got home, took showers, talked to Patty. Watched Whip It, by the way.. Ellen Page, adorable tough girl. Except for that british bastard in the movie.. The excuse is so cliche.. Thank God she didn't believe him, although I would've slapped him harder. Then we walked to Stonecreek Plaza where we got apple green tea with boba :) On the way back a red truck full of guys shouted at us. Britt shouted back of course.. Then they took a u-turn which kinda freaked us out a little. We were like, should we run??!! Then they turned the other way.. Whew. We got home, decided to make cookies :) Yum nom nom. Then we played a little piano.. ate cookies.. and watched Planet 51 :D The robot dog (rover) in the movie was sooo adorable :) I want a dog. Then we edited photos while watching South Park. Friday, morning, I made frozen waffles :D We were too tired to go swimming :P So we watched Proposal. Damn. Lots of movies this week... Then we took her home, bought an iRobot for aunt, and went to see Kylie :D Who was kissing my face through the glass door for like 5 minutes. Made my day :)

Fifteenth Post. Dinner with the Shmucks.

This morning I had my blood drawn :P Yucky. It wasn't that bad, I was like freaking out at first but I got over it :) Then I was starving. Famished. I had to fast for 10 hours and I'm pretty sure I went over that. So I had Denny's! The drink was good. Blueberry Pomegranate... drink thing. It had like Minute-maid and Sprite. Yum. The Belgian waffle was disappointing though.. Eggs? Way too much. Sausage was pretty good, bacon was alright. Then I went shopping with Christine & Em. I bought this casual dress from forever21, it's like white top with a green-black bottom. Then we went to the theater to watch Dinner with the Schmucks which turned out hilarious of course. Steve Carrel is seriously a comedy genius. And guess what, being the usual forgetful myself, I left my dress in the theater. So half way back we had to walk back to get my dress :P I had to say what's in it to verify with the customer service girl. I got it right :) I finally got a casual dress :) Then at Tilly's I bought a white bandeau along with two tank tops with stripes; one red, one purple. The guy at the dressing room was really cute. Seriously, I'm a sucker for smiles. Especially dorky smiles :) Then at home I watched the 2010 Teen Choice Awards, which was hosted by Katy Perry. I like her, not all the time, but most of the time. There are some people who just really needs to go though. Overrated: Justin Bieber, Kesha, Miley Cyrus, Taylor Lautner (even thought you're hot.), and the cast of Twilight. Underrated: Demi Lovato. (All I can think of right now :P) Selena and Taylor Swift is as always, adorable. Although I'm getting a little bit sick of Selena... and Taylor. But They're still cute :)

Fourteenth Post. Teen Crisis.

It is times like these that I wish I was a grown up. Out of the house. Freedom. Control of my own life. Away from my neurotic mother. By the way, the definition of neurotic is: abnormally sensitive, obsessive, or tense and anxious. Or, just OCD. Neat Freak. So it's 10 at night, and she just made me clean out all my clothes in my closet and refold all of them. And then she'd lecturing me all that time while i'm folding clothes angrily while she criticize me on my "attitude" while folding my clothes. She expected me to fold my clothes while smiling to my self singing to birds. She called me up while I was on the phone with my best friend that I rarely get to see and told me to fold my clothes. I am so "flipping" done with her. Other parents would have cared about their kids grades, but she tells me to clean my room, vacuum every single day. My room isn't even that messy, my best friend cleans her room twice a year. I probably sound like a brat right now, or just a typical teenager. But I really hate dealing with my mom. Who believe herself to be a saint who has never done anything wrong in her life. It's always other peoples fault. She was the perfect child when she grew up. It's her mother, sisters, brothers, husband, and daughters that always did wrong. Everything wrong, never treated her right. She never appreciates anybody.

I feel like my usual signature would contradict what i said.

Thirteenth Post. Summer School Over!

Yesterday was last day of summer school! We played dodgeball and swam.. It wasn't as fun since most people just watched. Second period I was sitting by the pool, and Ray pulled my ankles so I fell in the pool. I was.. pissed. But then again, i pushed him in twice :P Then I went biking to Island's with Christine and got chicken wrap! Then we watched Iron Man... Which was pretty good! Then she biked home at like 10 at night, so we were on the phone.. just in case something happens :P Today she's gonna come over and watch Love Actually and maybe we'll bike to watch Iron Man 2 at the dollar theater :D Next week will be so fun! Monday: Blood test... eww.. Tuesday: Britt's house! Wednesday: Disneyland! Thursday: Back from Britt's, ARK meeting! Friday: Not sure yet :)

Twelve Post. Swimming & Physician.

So we began swimming in PE this week! I thought it'd be torture, but it's actually really fun! I even pushed a couple people into the water :) I remember when Leah pushed me in.. I screamed really loud. Kinda like those movie screams. Pretty dramatic. The guys then tried the dominos effect of jumping in in a row. Ray was the first, and while he was talking I pushed him in. People applauded :P Then today I went to my new physician, who turned out to be Mendelson's mom. Mendelson's what Yeon-Jun calls this guy who's the concert master in Phil. I was flabbergasted.

Eleventh Post. Day at the Dentist.

So I visited a new dentist today. It was not a fun experience.. First we get lost on our way there, then we waited a full half an hour till she called me in for x-rays which took another half hour. Then finally the dentist came and just checked my teeth, which had six freaking cavities in there. So i thought, no biggie, just get six freaking fillings. Then he left to let the assistant talk to us about the payment, which turned out to be fourteen-hundred dollars AFTER the insurance covers it. My jaws literally dropped and my eyes were huge. Six freaking fillings for $1400? No way I'm paying that. So now I'm just gonna brush and floss like there's no tomorrow. Till December when I go back to Taiwan and visit my dentist there for a MUCH cheaper price.. Plus I'll probably have to pull my wisdom teeth out anyways. :( Owwie.

Tenth Post! Maggie's Party.

Just came back from Maggie's party! It was fun. I had way too much chocolate and soda. We played Quelf and Guitar Hero. The chocolate mousse cake was amazing. Delicious. Then I kinda crashed. Just couldn't stop laughing at Brian and Martin. Martin was on the phone and Brian was just mocking him in a really deep voice. I just couldn't stop laughing. Maybe it was the sugar talking but I was so hyper. Aww. I'm gonna miss those guys :)

Ninth Post. Locked out of the house.

Ran the mile for PE today and I ran 40 seconds faster than my first time :) Not really fast, but I'm proud of myself. I ran with my iPod on, playing OneRepublic on a loop. Woo dramatic! Then I played tennis with some friends and kind of injured myself. My back's sore, my shoulder hurts from practice serves, my left knee hurts when i walk, and I'm pretty sure I reactivated my shin splint. Then I really needed to buy presents for Maggie, whose birthday party I'm going to tomorrow (or actually "today) so I went to Target with Naomay! She walked freaking damn fast. Well, with those super skinny long legs, you can't really blame her! So I bought maggie a Hello Kitty stuffed animal, this thing with Hello Kitty on it that I have no clue what it is, and a party tiara. Then my worst nightmare happened. I got locked outside my house... My mom was at Bible study so I went into the garage till she came back. I swore I heard noises outside the garage door. I was freaking out. I'm eating extra dark chocolates from Lindor. It reminds me of someone that I don't want to remember and yet I still wanted to eat them. And I ate leftover fried rice. Woo!

Eighth Post. Bike Ride.

Nothing much happened recently, we ran around the Uni campus yesterday and it was interesting. Nadine (the security guard) was talking pictures with her binocular in the parking lot... It was interesting. I ran with my iPods, I found out that it helps me a lot. I've been obsessing with OneRepublic lately.. I don't know, their music right now just seems so soulful. I love "Dreamin", "Mercy", "All We Are", and "Come Home". I saw How to Train a Dragon again today :P Getting new music for it! It's just amazing. I'm interested in John Powell now :D Then we biked around the lake and Lakeside talking about memories.. Then we went to Arrowhead Park, where we ate and talked about all the things that happened in 8th grade.. Time flies.

Seventh Post. Inception.. Dun Dun Duuuuun.

Hahaha, so today is Trissy's birthday and yesterday Catherine threw her a surprise party at Ruby's at the spectrum. So we all gathered at Ruby's like 15 minutes before she arrived, and we put up menus to cover our faces since we sat outside untl she came and we shouted "surprise!" Her face was so hilarious. She was in completely shock for like 5 minutes. It was hilarious. Then we ordered food, and we went around talking about things we loved about her. Then after we ate, we decided to watch Inception! The "number 1" movie in America right now. That movie was just amazing. So complicated in so many ways! I'm still confused as to what really happened. I don't think it's a dream, but I just wonder how they got back on the plane at the end since they ended up at the beach when they were supposed to go back on the plane at once. I was so confused. Still is.

Sixth Post. Abstinence.. Awkward?

Today in Health we had a guest speaker on abstinence. It wasn't that awkward at first, just the usual sex talk. There was that point when she asked us whether we thought oral sex was sex. There was an uncomfortable awkward silence. Then a couple yeses came around the room. Everything was just normal... Talking about STI's.. The usual. Then at the very end she started talking about her own experience, like how she got pregnant during her second relationship and got an abortion. That made me thought about my cousin, who is just messed up. But that'll probably be another post later on when I have more time to rant about my family's life. Abstinence. Church talks about it all the time, and seriously, there's no other way to help more girls (and guys) to practice it. I would want a purity ring, but honestly it's just a symbol. Just because you wear it doesn't mean you can't go back on it. I think what matters the most is your heart. If your heart believe in it, and you believe in yourself, then you can do it. You just need to find that someone that waited for you too. How beautiful is that? Finding your true love that you waited for at last and find out that he waited for you all his life too. Now that's love.

Fifth Post. How to Train a Dragon?

As you've probably noticed that my fourth post was skipped, it's just unfinished.. I have stuff to write more so I'm just gonna go on to the fifth. So I just watched How to Train a Dragon at the dollar theater with Stephany! It was such an adorable movie! Toothless was just so adorable. I cried during the part when his father wouldn't listen to him, and somewhere else I can't remember. Anyways, I also bought a waffle maker!!!! So excited to use it ;)

Second Post. Cast.. Away?

So today in Health we watch Cast Away. The one with Tom Hanks, FedEx, and the most famous Wilson volleyball. It's just a depressing story and yet the freshmen boys in my class are just not mature enough to comprehend the sad part. When Tom Hanks was yelling for Wilson as it was floating away, the boys behind me were just laughing their head off. Like seriously? I really wanted to turn around and yell at them. I mean, how would they feel if they were trapped on a deserted island for 4 years with no one to talk to but a volleyball?

First Post. Babysitting.

Hello people. So this is my first blog post.. I honestly have no idea what else I will be posting on here, I made this for fun, and to just write all the random crap in my life. So first off, I got my first summer job! Babysitting my old neighbor's grandson. I've known him since he was about 2 years old. His name's Colin. He was just a sweet kid, upon meeting everyone he'd let them hold him. His dad graduated from Harvard... Law I think. Mom graduated from UC Berkeley, Business Major. So you can imagine how spoiled he is. His grandma is just like my godmother. She has been so nice and kind to me, caring for me like i'm her own daughter. But sadly, her own daughter (aka Colin's mom) doesn't seem to appreciate that. When Colin's grandmother tripped at the airport, my mom took her to the emergency room and called Colin's mom, she thought Colin's grandmother was just pretending. My mom told me what happened and I was just so angry that I just wanted to call her and tell her off. For the two months Colin's staying here, his mom's not paying 1 single penny for anything. Colin's grandmother sent him to tutor, karate, and swimming. All using money from her retirement account. Not only that, Colin's grandmother takes care of him for 2 years in New York already and Colin's parents treat her like nothing at their house. I just realized this post has just became a rant. But isn't this what it's suppose to be? Letting me write whatever I want, giving no crap for whoever's going to read this? I should get back on track. So today, my 5th day tutoring Colin at my house... He's still a brat, but just like any other 7 year old, he just couldn't keep his butt on the chair. Everyday, I would have to drag him to the chair, only to find him running off when i turn around for just one second. He would hide behind the couch, and I'd go and drag him across the floor to the chair. Literally. He's getting better at staying in his chair each day though.. But he won't stop talking, and he's just saying things he learned from his mom. He'd say things like "you're a pain in the butt". Which I presume his mom said that.. He would say words like dignity and has no idea whatsoever what the meaning of the word is. I honestly don't know what I can do to make him a better kid if his parents won't do anything. I'm getting paid $100 tomorrow for tutoring him this week but somehow i feel like I haven't done enough to help him besides making sure he did all his homework right. Sigh. This is a depressing post.
