Rough Around the Edges Makes it Sharp.

Saturday, oh where do I start?
Well, first off. Elite sucked. Even though I couldn't sleep at night, I still managed to wake up at 7:22AM beautifully. I later found out how crummy my teachers are, and just how terrible Saturdays at Elite are. They attempt to cram quizzes, homework, exercises, and test review all into one little class session. So fail.

After that little inferno of my day passed, I was pumped to go to Music Speaks with Quyen! Let me tell you, I had an amazing time. Even though I had an allergy attack while getting ready, and super drained and tired, I still was able to enjoy myself in the atmosphere of talent. AJ Rafael, Cathy Nguyen, Mike, the Adrian William Project- Andrew Garcia, Frank Hagen, Jane Lui, Jennifer Chung, Passion, JR Aquino, Melissa Polinar, just to name a few. I am in utter disbelief that I would ever find myself in the same twenty feet radius from them, which I was! Although I do regret not popping an advil or tylenol before leaving the house, I still was starstruck and enjoyed every moment of listening to their talent spilling on us. The fact that the entire event was put forth for Autism, is touching and moving. Just.. stunning.

I Got My Summer "Un Lock."

You needa be a G in order to get the title's pun.

Elite's Afternoon Boot Camp (ABC) is finally over. Eight weeks... went by so quickly! LOL @ all the drama that happened. I'm so over drama--- don't give me any! I'm fine with just watching. My score did increase, but it's still not satisfactory. Maybe the extension will help me? Indeed, Ivymax can always save my ass too. Ugh, how depressing. As for right now, I'm free during the weekdays and sunday now.

Plans of the rest of '09 summer:
- make memories with my friends
- clean my room (I actually had to do it today, but I was eating shaved ice with Alyssa)
- sleep
- work-out (seriously)
- tan
- shop
- dye my hair light-brown/blonde, or just brown.
- lip piercing (pending)
- tragus piercing
- start and finish summer reading
- get the hair fixed


I hate it when people diss my music taste. Hello?! My taste in music is the one thing that I hold pride for.

D-Pryde: Love Don't Stop

Here's the past coupla days in a summary.

Thursday: Last day of Alyssa being at Elite with me. It was kind of sad since I'm not super close with anyone at Elite except Josh, Sharon, Hye Hyun, etc... But still. Thursday Elite was whack, I felt like I was going to bomb all both the reading and vocab quizes. BUT, I didn't, heh. After class, Alyssa and I hitched a ride from Hye Hyun, and went to eat Pho. Actually, we shared vermicilli, both yum. After, we shared Yogurtland and Lollicup: double yum! I have such a sweet tooth. We just talked, chilled, caught up. I saw people I "dig." Holy fuck, I know exactly how I want my future guy to look like. I love my type, I love it. Gimme gimme! Thanks Alyssa, I had fun with you that night. <3>
Friday: Signed up for SAT Subject test Chinese w/ Listening. Feel motivated for junior year!

Saturday: I, being nocturnal, slept at five in the morning, whilst texting Richard and doing homework. So then I crashed inevitably, and woke up at 11 ish. Had class (so boring, and lonely). Then went home, signed up for SAT's (yikes!), and waited patiently like a good little girl for Quyen to get her ass over my crib. We chilled, went to the pool (the sunset/sky was so pretty, even though the sunset's been ruined for me), and made noodles. Cater to you? Oh pulease. LCQT=JBCT! Thanks Quyen, today was fun. <3

Pre-plans for Sunday: Elite homework, and...?

I finally realized what I want in a guy. The list of characteristics is too long, but I'll be sure to tell "the one" when I meet him. For now, it's just fun and games.

For some strange reason, I'm pumped for junior year. Even though it's going to be a bitch, and my desk will be my best friend for the entire year, I'm excited.

I need to meet more people. People with passion, intelligence, wit, charisma, personality. Enlighten me!

Reflection of Summer.

MIMS- Did you Wrong

Another lame-o day. Summer's been kinda lame overall, if you ask me. Let me break it down for ya.

In the beginning, it was like.. "oh shit, I got classes all summer, FML." Well, I did get an A in health and an A- in Alg2B. (= But really, I've met some coolkats this summer, which surprises me. These niggas know who I'm talking about! Meeting these people made me realize how vast of a social environment there is in Irvine that I haven't even explored. I didn't even know these people existed, hah. No hate involved!

Feelings were exposed to the bitterness of infatuation; feelings have been hurt this summer; people met new potentials; friendships evolved into a tangle of jealousy and betrayal; people thought they found their special somebodies; people were lied to. Not only do I know people that went through all this, I went through this shit too. Don't get me wrong, my summer did get kind of interesting at times, but me... I'm an independent bitch who doesn't like drama whatsoever. Why the hell did all that have to happen? Seriously... Elite. People, wake up. This place isn't for finding true love, or finding chicks or guys to hook up with. So why make it like one?

Give me SUMMER: beach, friends, kick-backs, parties, shopping, dinner, dates, happiness. Is that too much to ask for?

Rainy Days Blew Me Away...

.. so I drank the 4 everyday.

It surprises me how quickly this summer has gone by. And saddens me to realize how uneventful and plain-jane this summer has been. And quite frankly, I'm bored shitless.

Dad finally moved to Seattle; I feel bad for my mom.

Eric and I made a goal: to work our asses off this year so we can achieve happiness and success!

Morning!

I think I like waking up early. It's like a rush of energy when you automatically wake up early!
The only bad part of it, is you don't know if it's warm enough to wear shorts later on in the day. )=

Horoscope: New relationships do not replace old ones-- schedule some time with long lost pals.

Phone's back! That means.. I can Facebook, Twitter, IM, and text! My daily necessities.

Cousin's coming today, yay!
Mom's birthday.. awkward.

Renewal of Independence.

You know when opportunities come to you, you're supposed to go for it? Well, when you lag, and miss that opportunity, then it's over. Nobody's going to wait for you, so why should I?

Summer school's coming to an end. Health is over, math final tomorrow. )=
Friday: Math final, UCI with Quyen and Josh? Then Eric's coming over! Mother's birthday. Birthday dinner.

Saturday: Ivymax, get SAT score checked at Elite. Precious bonding time with the cousin!

Sunday: Homework, study.

I've noticed this summer was pretty lame. Fun times my ass. Give me some excitement, something to wish upon, someone to drool over!

Positive Thinking

After reading B's cutesy letter, I feel like I'm being challenged... The barrier that I've built around "me" is being broken through. The usual independent me is slowly crumbling apart. I'm the type of person who needs personal space, I could never imagine myself being dependent on someone else. I'd rather talk to you in person, so LET'S!

Summer's been weird this year. Being that it's my first summer ever that I actually didn't go back to China (except for that one year with Bird Flu). Summer school is almost over, got just a week left! I might end up with a B for health, which is rather depressing. I realized that I didn't turn in chapter questions that I did during classwork time, so now it counts as half-credit. Tear*. I also am ending off Algebra2B with a 87%, which is even more depressing. I need a flippen A so I can move onto Pre-Calc, which is the primary reason why I'm taking the goddamn summer school class. Progressing further into my daily schedule, comes Elite. The bad part: my scores aren't getting any better, and Mr. Kim even scolded me for not going to him and talking about my scores. He says I need to consult him with all the questions I've been getting wrong. FML?! Another con to Elite: the homework overload. I obviously choose Elite HW > Summer school HW, since I really do not want to get a demerit, having to waste a flippen hour of my life doing nothing. Aside from all the complaints I have about Elite, I do have something good to say. I am glad to say, that I've met some pretty nice people: they know who they are!

Family: "Meh." Although my cousin is coming soon, and I'm flippen excited! :D

Friends: Great. Quyen!<3 I really can't live without her, strangely. Hahhaa.

Love: Who, me?

Money: I'mma broke-ass bitch.

Health: Cough cough*.

Mind & Soul: Unstable.

Foolish Heart of Mine.

Some say I do stupid things.
Enlighten me, what exactly do I do?
No, hold that thought.
Who are you to tell me I do stupid things?

In my opinion, some guys can be so ridiculous.
All they do is cause stress and make me feel bad about myself.
I do not need a guy to make me happy.

Moving on...
Week's almost over, I anticipate the future!
Friday with Quyen, Saturday English class, Sunday FREE!
Getting the lip pierced with Minh, perhaps? (=

Counting down the days until the favorite cousin comes!

Hello Life, how are you?

Oh, the "weak" is about to start all over again.

I don't know why there's so much hate and anger inside of me. I felt as if no one around me was aware of how I felt. It was rather annoying, to be honest. I just want everyone to wake the fuck up, and listen. Since no one cared to know earlier, no one ought to know what the fuck I'm feeling now, it's none of your bitchness!

On a brighter note, Sundays are always my fun-days. (=
My "Angel," Quyen Tien came over again. Of course, we ate, chilled, gossiped, discussed, and watched. You know, the usual. We're inseperable... we're like the pimp and the hoe! You can only imagine who's who. [;

Our Pursuit of Happiness.

I've been surprised.

I made a new friend. [=

At Elite, I noticed that we had a couple of new students. One student, in particular, always talked and got bullied by Ms. Jackie. Brandon, you little talkative one. So, we started talking in between classes during break, and I realized he was pretty chill. We talked after the week at Elite ended, and we got to know each other.

On Friday, Brandon came over to "study." How fail was that plan?! We decided to be spontaneous, and we drove to Laguna, but ended up going to Crystal Cove instead. As we walked on the beach, the sun started to set. So we found a nice place to just sit there and watch the sun set. We just sat on a rock and talked, as the sun slowly set. Being that I've never actually watched the sun actually set while at the beach, it was a moment to remember. After the sun went to sleep (and it got super cold), we started to walk back. He gave me a piggy-back, while I almost crushed him! Now you learned, Brandon, to never give me a piggy-back ride. So as we walked back, I was stressing pretty hard, due to the lame 'rents. After intense threatening from them, Brandon and I freaked out, determined to get back home without getting into any trouble whatsoever, since that was the last thing we wanted to happen.

We made it home, safe and sound, with no trouble at all. So insane! This was by far one of the best days I've experienced, and I owe it all to Brandon. Thanks a bunch. [=
















I haven't felt like this since I could remember: happy.
