  • Lol, ok.

    Hi!

    So yesterday was the first day of school, and today was obviously the second.  >_>.

    I have Physiology first period with Mr. Morgan, who Phuc had last year.  And I just happened to once know a Mr. Morgan who was a tall, slender black man with a mustache and beard, so for ALL of last year until maybe the last week of school, I imagined Physiology Mr. Morgan to look like the Mr. Morgan from my past. 
    In reality, he reminds me of Agent Paul Kellerman from Prison Break:

    So, when Mr. Morgan mentioned that we would be dissecting cats in the second term of Physiology (god i sure as hell hope i don't get the pregnant one), I imagined it being done with Prison Break background music, with a lot of close-ups on his face and dramatic dialogue.

    I started the first class of my first day of school with that daydream.

    On that note, last year, Mr. Williams, my AP English 11 teacher, had a personality that reminded me of Dr. Gregory House.  Is my school connected with the FOX network?  I smell a conspiracy.

    I have one class with Phuc at the end of the day, which I should be okay with because we never had any classes together in freshman and sophomore year, but we were TERRIBLY spoiled last year when we frequently had three-out-of-four or all classes together, where we frequently sat next to each other, and we never had lunchtime apart during junior year.  This time around, we have one class together this term where we sit on opposite sides of the room and unfortunately don't share lunch.  I lost the motivation to stand in the lunch line because I don't have a
    friend to tickle and hug while I'm waiting, but I keep my promise to
    Phuc to eat lunch everyday by packing my own lunch in the mornings.  Two days of kickass sandwiches and counting! 

    But we still manage to see each other between periods and before/after school, so that's nice.  It's going to be weird in college if we're still dating by then.  I hope we still get to see each other frequently.

    On the note of my brief daily encounters with Phuc, I HATE when couples break up for the reason: "We don't have class together anymore."  HATE IT, WHAT A NOOBY REASON.

    GOD I'VE TURNED INTO YUGI.  But that's a different story.  lmao

    Today's conversation:
    My mom: "What are you going to cook when you get married?"
    Me: "Noodles and pie!"
    >_______________________>
    gess i should learn to cook adobo or somethin

    be careful what you wish for, because you just might get it all

    Bye for now!

  • Smelly Cat, Smelly Cat...

    Yar!

    Ducky, my kitty, gave birth to three babies a month or so ago, which
    was a few months after all three kittens of her first litter all passed
    away before they could reach two weeks of age.  After the first one
    died from her first litter, I stopped visiting the kittens twice a day
    and heard tragic updates about them solely from my dad.  After the
    third one died, my dad got mad at Ducky and accused her of being a
    really bad mom, so I got sad because I really like her. :[

    She's the only kitty I've ever had that doesn't try to rip my head off when I try to touch her children, and she lets me pet her while she's nursing them and she moves her head to the side when I want to look at the babies. I think she just has bad luck and has fragile babies.  :[  She's always with her babies except when she has to eat or poop. 
    We lost one baby from the new litter a few days after she gave birth, so like last time, I stopped visiting the kittens in sorrow.  I finally visited today after several weeks of no "another kitten died" from my dad, and the other two are looking pleasantly healthy and furry, and they're old enough to cause me to believe they're not gonna kick the bucket anytime soon.  *crosses fingers and knocks on wood*  She gave birth in the garage in the middle of the day, so it was the first time I ever saw slimy jelly bean baby kitties. o________o  eww

    I finally mention the babies now so that I wouldn't be striken with grief over dead kittens.  >_>

    i hope taco's the daddy, i like him D:

    *mom just denied me cold banana because i didn't eat yet, and says that eating cold banana without eating will cause me to be hospitalized, and i am now confused*

    So I bloggin' on my dad's computer while he cleans his car because my computer is having the same tragic breakdown that it had last Friday.  Phuc is not making a cameo online (parents: "so when is pook coming over"), so I'm killing time on xangaa.  >_>.

    In the midst of my broken computer blues, I luckily already transferred Photoshop to my dad's computer, abused the device that is his mouse (turns out my tablet isn't plug and play, that bastard), and spazzed on it.

    After drawing those two, I realized I could've used that time working on my summer homework.
    In fact, I could've done that instead of blogging...

    OWELL

  • I get most of my recent epiphanies from watching Scrubs.

    YARR.

    The weekend was pretty fun because I went down to San Jose to visit mah sistterrrrr, since she's going off to UCSC soon. =O 

    My sister had work on Saturday, and Joeve, who I usually instantly call whenever the words "hang out with friends in San Jose" come up in a sentence, had to work, and I was letting people know I was in San Jose on REALLY short notice (hey can you go out right now), but I called up Jessica to chill with while my sister was at work, and she was free to go to the nearby mall together.  It was refreshingly, although unexpectedly, really fun; I haven't been alone with just Jessica in a really long time, and when I still lived in San Jose we never hung out, just the two of us, except for the Yu-Gi-Oh convention (LOL NERD) 'cos she was my YGO homedawg.  We had a nice bonding time and she told me how her life and her new boyfriend and her new hair and her new friends are, and I swooned over really cheap merchandise, really fat plush animals, and showed her PostSecret books in the Barnes and Nobles.

    I had dinner with my sister in downtown Campbell (ithink) and got coffee afterwards, where she taught me to combine really hot coffee with cold coffee to make perfectly temperature'd coffee. I usually sleep at 2 in the morning, but that night I slept at 4 because my sister taught me how to ballroom dance and we worked out a little together (i died), and I lied on a futon on the floor while watching Once.  (which i should finish sometime)  In the morning, we watched The Dark Knight and Pineapple Express.  I tried to clap at the end of Dark Knight but she stop meh.  D:  It was really as epic as everyone said it was.  woo hoo

    So for a while this summer, since I got my schedule and learned that I was not in Honors Spanish 3 and thus was probably capable of taking on another AP class, I regretted not being in AP Gov't or AP Biology, and life lessons from my sister and the strangeness of the Stats summer homework made me wish I was in AP Calculus instead of AP Statistics.  On Wednesday, I went over to MTHS to change my schedule because I was missing a class for first term, and turned out that I was already in Creative Writing and it failed to be included on the schedule that they mailed me.  o_o  Besides learning that I'm in third lunch in second term and that Phuc and I have one class together each term, I asked Miz Chavez if I could transfer into certain AP classes, and she checked if I could get into AP Bio, AP Gov't, and AP Calculus, and all three had time conflicts with my finally-laid-out-perfectly schedule.  I either had to sacrifice Spanish or Economics, and when AP Bio interfered with regular government, I couldn't get into another gov't class, and AP Gov't wasn't in the right timeslot to be taken in conjunction with AP Bio.  and i didn't really need to do ~15 chapters of summer hw in ten days D:

    At least the demons in my tummy went away a LITTLE bit because at least I tried to get into all the AP classes I wish I signed up for.  >_>.  Later that evening, I forgot that one of my goals was to get into a VAPA class for first term so I could get a VAPA cord for graduation, with the Creative Writing class distracting my face off.  AHHH.  But still, it kind of feels like I sabatoged my future college choices by not taking more AP classes for senior year.  Poo nugget.  damn you, you flaking honors spanish class

    reminds me i need to retake the SAT Subject Tests cos i only had one score i was happy with, which was for US History (damn whatever ms. poe used to teach worked, despite how much i hated her class)
    nyeh

    My baby also broke down because when my dad drove her to the grocery store, her battery died.  So we need to replace that sometime before school starts.  AHH.  MY BABY.

    I remember more eventful stuff happening.  Although I now forget.

    Today's lesson hop on the bandwagon:

    lol everyone else be posting snr portraits. 
    So feeling like I'm a senior is yet to kick in.  I thought it was going to come while I was flipping through my senior portrait proofs, but nup.  Maybe later.  I just can't have it coming on the last week of school because I need time to cope. >_>

    nothing worth having in life comes easy

    Bye for now!

  • Happy Olympics Day!

    AHH.

    I LOVE YOU KATEEEEEEeeeEEE.  I was distraught that she placed third on So You Think You Can Dance, although I was happier after hearing that she got $50,000 for being first place girl.  ILU KATEE.  I was actually surprised that Joshua won, because everyone I know liked either Katee or Twitch.  ilu katee.  Technically she won.. first place girl.. even though she was actually third...  WHATEVER SHE WON TO ME

    GO, KATEE GO

    Omg, Phuc is my absolute hero.  My computer stopped working, like it wouldn't turn on or ANYTHING, it just flickered a little and died.  I died a little inside after doing all my nooby remedies to get it working failed (one included slapping it and saying "TURN ON") and I was on the verge of losing all my data.  What distressed me the most was the thought that I'd lose all my photos and all of my drawings!  It's painful just thinking about it!    I called Phuc to help me and talk me through what I should do, but when nooby me didn't even know what the devil my harddrive was, I became desperate, asked my dad if Phuc could come over and fix the computer, and so a few minutes later, Phuc drove up to my house and SAVED MY COMPUTER! 

    I managed to back up all my important files in case it ever happens again and he taught me what to do if it should happen again (God forbid).  Phuc is mah hero!  >_<

    Schoolwise, things suuuuck.  I gotta go all the way to school next Wednesday because I'm missing a class for first term so I can change my schedule.  Nyehh.  I'm starting to regret not signing up for AP Government as well, seeing as the school evidently dropped Honors Spanish 3 in light of Ms. Garcia's ... epic mental breakdown that happened during the school year.  Or they just hate me and dropped me.  GAH.  I'm personally nervous about talking to Mr. Nguyen, my school counselor.  GAH.  I'd just run in there and throw my schedule form at them if not for the fact that I have no idea what classes can fit in my schedule.

    I'm really keen for a Visual and Performing Arts class just so I can qualify for a VAPA cord on graduation day, although the only classes that I can take are Children's Theatre (I'm already in Theatre 3), Guitar Workshop, and Music Appreciation.  In earnesty, I secretly want to take a PE class although I know that I won't dare touch such an unneccessary class.  I just need more motivation to exercise daily!  >_>

    I CAN'T BELIEVE I'M GONNA BE THE SENIOR ON CAMPUS.  I admit, I never ever actually realize the seniors of last year have gone until the day of auditions for the school play.  *distraught*

    I LOVE YOU KATEE

    nyehh bye for now

  • With a super special awesome salutation, at that!

    So, one of the side effects of becoming absolutely infatuated with Yu-Gi-Oh!: The Abridged Series, a spoof of the Duel Monsters series with knee-slappin' jokes that this ex-fangirl deeply appreciates, is that I have begun digging the anime itself again, which is SO five years ago.  I probably really should have seen that coming. 
    IF I WASN'T A GEEK BEFORE, I SURE AM NOW!

    I still find Yu-Gi-Oh: GX absolutely ridiculous, which is the spin-off show of the original series.  Pegasus clearly says in the spin-off that Yugi, Kaiba, and Joey are the top three duelists in the world, so what?  I'm watching a series based on the adventures of NUMBER FOUR?  I think not!  The moment I saw that scene, I stopped watching the show and started waking up between ten and noon on Saturdays instead.  I do not regret my choice.  At all. 

    The only full episode of GX that I've ever watched is the last episode, where Yugi whups Jidai something crazy.  It was awesome.

    I'm now like, five notches geekier on the Cool Ladder.  Yu-Gi-Oh rants are worth it.  Or at least that's what I like to tell myself.

    I actually did fully intend to do my AP Statistics homework today (lol so not so much yesterday, i was watching yu-gi-oh), and pulled out my textbook and opened it, pulled out my pencils, and everything.  TURNS OUT, I DON'T HAVE BINDER PAPER.  So I have to start tomorrow when we buy some more.  >_>. 

    I sort of started regretting going into AP Stats, because I know I can handle the AP Calculus material (and because Ms. Tran, my honors pre-cal teacher, went apeshit on me after finding out i signed up for stats instead of calculus).  I just actually never thought I'd aim for UC Davis, and nursing majors in any of the CSUs only need Statistics.  Well, if I did take AP Calculus, I'd probably retake the class in college anyway, so I suppose it's alright.  Phuc can just tutor me in college, since he's taking the AP Calculus class this year.  Although we'd probably just end up just kissing if he ever tried to tutor me.  >_>

    My tummy, however, got ever-so-slightly smaller after exercising daily for the last two weeks or so, then came back after that buffet of a birthday party at Phuc's house.  LUL.

    Good game!

    i was finally there to sit on my throne with my ridiculous hair

    Bye for now!

  • Brooklyn rage!

    Wee, today is Phuc's birthday!  Happy birthday, Phuc!  :D   weeeeeee yey

    I went to his birthday party today, which is actually the first we spent his birthday togethaa. :o   It was super fun with lotsa yummeh food, but I was so sleepy and full and .. really full by the time that I had to leave, so I lied down during one of the movies.  .__.  nyehh i'm still so full.

    By the time I got home, I really wanted to nap something epic, although I've been trying to kick the habit of having a 2-4 hour nap everyday. >_>  Admittedly, the only reason that I'm here is because as I was lying down and trying to fall asleep, I decided that it was too hot and came here instead.

    I'm still yet to finish my summer homework, BUT I SWEAR I'LL WORK ON IT .. TOMORROW.  I THINK.  I've been using up my "I should be doing homework" time with drawing time.  At least it's more productive than napping for 4 hours everyday!  D:

    And uh.. yeah.

    HAPPY BIRTHDAY PHUC YAY

    stop trying to make "brooklyn rage" a catchphrase!  just stick to saying "nyehh," that's all you're good for!

    Bye for now!
    nyehh
