Ten months Later

Damn, I wish I had a good excuse, but I really don't. I have been using other blogs recently, specifically Tumblr, and that is just damn addictive. The website is just more user friendly, with more options for blogging all types of media, I can even call in from my cell phone to record a message on my blog. I love to see all the posts from the people I follow all at the same time, which does not happen on this website and to be honest, I just have more followers on that website, whereas it is more difficult to gain following from this site, as its numbers go down. I still love Blogger, it was my first critique blog, but I find that I'm more of a comical blogger; writing about ridiculous life stories, or things that my father says, and it's more difficult to get my jokes across on this website. In no way does this mean that I'm deleting this account, it means too much to me now - it was one of the steps I had to take to learn how to write online - however I won't be here often.

Anyway, just wanted to holla, since it has been awhile.

AP = A Pain

Now I could be sitting somewhere falling asleep - perhaps even drooling - over a study guide, but after eight months in Calculus I'm just tired of it all. Test, I may fail you, but bring it on: I got into college anyway, sucka!

I am very pleased about canceling my Macroeconomics test; I must admit that after spending an hour a day listening to "Uh," "Again," and "Simple as that," economics is not THAT SIMPLE. Especially when your teacher has tongue dyslexia. Whatever, I will be taking some random history class in its place.

Now that Government is over and Calculus is tomorrow, I must fret over Biology, which has like a 15% passing rate. I plan on being in that top 15% even though I can't even get in A in the class. FUDGE.

Speaking of chocolate flavored deserts, I realized, after 18 years, that when someone offers me chocolate, I have NEVER been able to resist. It's not like I go out and buy chocolate everyday or even eat chocolate everyday (In fact I can think of 47 days in which I did not!), but I can't seem to deny it. However, I have found a way to use it to my advantage: chocolate protein bars. WAIT WAIT WAIT, I understand that you may be skeptic, but Special K has always been pretty tasty to me. FRUIT AND YOGURT CEREAL IS AWESOME. And these bars are very low in carbs. Which is another portion of my diet, I plan to eat fewer carbohydrates. Yes, a lot of people do those Atkins or South Beach diets, but since that seemed to just be a passing fad, I've moved on. My dietician (Yes, I have one.) suggested that I lower my carb intake. It's really not that hard: eat less rice, choose whole grains over white, and always check the nutrition panel. FACT: When it says carbs and is followed by Dietary Fiber or whathaveyou, you subtract those from the amount of carbohydrates. Which is perfect when it comes to whole grains! Then I'm supposed to exercise which is not so bad when you got friends and a gym pass or exercise videos on demand, it can be fun. Now I have been on and off the diet, but I'm definitely in need to shed a few pounds and it's been working because I have lost a few which is perfect now before Prom.

Now if you read that entire paragraph on my diets then you must really be cool.

PROM: It's gonna be fun, that's for sure even though I don't have a date. Okay, it might not be as fun as if I had a date, but I refuse to beg for a date. It's not like a pride thing, it's just if no one thinks to choose me for prom then I guess I myself really have no one to have fun with. Some people don't like to dance, but wth, I'm going to dance in my pretty dress, with my pretty hair and I'm going to have fun. I will admit that I am jealous. Even my friend, whose boyfriend can't make it down for prom, still asked her to the dance. I would LOVE for someone to ask me, I branched out just to be turned down and I refuse to let that ruin my night. It's the last high school dance and I want some happy freaking memories. That sounded a bit harsh. I guess I just want someone to care. Is that hard to ask for? I'm beyond lucky to have girlfriends who are always there for me, but I thought I'd AT LEAST have one guy. Maybe it's because I've never really had that confidence to show the opposite sex that I am more than wits and giggles (PUNS), although I thought my low-cut shirts would do the trick. It doesn't matter now, at the end of high school. Prom is not going to be the night I evaluate my self-worth - though right on the eve of a math AP test it might be tonight.

P.P./ Prom Plans

I've been putting this schedule together far before any of my friends even got asked to prom, crazy from the Date-less girl, I know. But damn, we've got ourselves a party bus, a picture studio, probably dinner at the Cheesecake Factory or Orange Hill, the dance and the afterparty. It's going to be a crazy night!

Anyway I'm off to Yelp some restaurants and THEN study for Calc... if I actually do get around to it.

-_-#

So I feel like a total freaking failure because I didn't get into the school I actually wanted to go to. I feel like I have the right grades, the right qualifications, the right MONEY, and still I don't get to go to school with my sister. The fk. Whatever, I'm just going to make the best of it, which is all I can really do at this point anyway.

Aside from all that bull, last night was alright. Manny won, duh, but the fight was not super exciting. It was pretty boring, really, Clottey just defended himself without trying to jab Pacquiao. At least dinner was awesome, burritos from my uncle, like right off the grill. Although that was probably just due to the fact that their kitchen is being remodeled.

Today, I woke up early to walk at the Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure at the Dodgers

Stadium in LA. My mother and I weren't particularly early, and so we didn't get the best freebies, but it we still got a lot. Then I met Ryan Kwanten, from HBO's True Blood. I heard that he'd be there, I didn't expect to be standing right next to him at the Start Line! That was super lucky! :D And now it's time to do loads of homework and studying.

All I really have to look forward to during the week is Tuesday and Wednesday, when all the underclassmen have to take the CAHSEE and other practice tests, and the seniors get to come to school at 11am. WHOO! Breakfast with the friendiddles fasho. And then we have our SADIES dance this Saturday! I've got my outfit, but I do need to get some shoes. Excited for the Single Ladies to do Sadies the way we did in Freshman year, oh, good times.

March, so far.

It's nearly halfway through March and I feel like I should say a few words. Or go over how much shopping I've already done. My, God. Where is all my money going?

So march began last Monday, and we've already had a birthday, a birthday party, bowling, a rally, and freaking SHOPPING. Gwen is like my new shopping partner. We realized this last night when we noticed that in the last 4 weeks, we were always in line together for the dressing rooms. Last night was no different, although we were at Puente Hills instead of The Shoppes. We FINALLY got our outfits for Sadies. Nothing to slutty, nor too prude. It'll work out.

So much stuff happened yesterday. NO MEAT. School Rally, not the best, somehow, I felt detached. Sex talks and self-defense lessons in English class. Costco pizza after school. Make-A-Wish Cosmic Bowling! Puente Hills Mall, all side street. :P Then Forever 21 for an hour and half, but finally finding my outfit. :D Rockstar Noodle Bar; Spicy Ramen and bendy straws! Back to school to watch the ASL Show, but was too late. D: Took out my Bess Prannn for "You -did-it!" Dinner, stole crayons, and Yogurtland. And made it home in time for my parents to not be upset.

Best Friday ever? Possibly. For Gwen: It was HECTIC!

And today is going to be another crazy one. I've got tutor in 2 hours, have to go down to UCSD to visit my sister go to our cousins' house to watch the Manny Pacquiao vs. Clottey fight and make it home to rest for tomorrow's Susan G Komen: Walk for the Cure. Whew.

Why I watch the Olympics.

Because they have the ability to do things I never even knew existed. It's like when you see a YouTube video of some crazy Japanese game show and you wonder why these people are doing stupid and crazy things, like what are they really getting? Is there some sort of cash prize if you don't fall into urine? Or is that the prize itself, that you don't end up soaked in it?

At least in the Olympics you can see how people train for years and when they show the athlete's family and fellow countrymen in the stands, there's just so much excitement. Even if you're not from the Czech Republic you cheer this person on.

That's the point of the Olympics though, isn't it? To get all these people from all over the world and have fun, maybe show off a little, but it's about unity. And Lord knows, we aren't getting too much of that.

On another note. I enjoy watching good looking people. Laugh all you

want, you do it too. I prefer a tan man/guy myself. It looks like I've fallen with all those other Filipino people who are all PRIDE and everything, but I enjoy watching speed-skating (Ohno was everyone's hero in the 4th grade.) and well LOOKEE HERE, a FilAm Boy in my age range?! He's been to St. Paul, our local church!? He's tan!? He's taller than me?! Yes, things that easily excite me.

FINALLY A SHIRTLESS GUY AT THE WINTER OLYMPICS.

Haha, just playin' but not really.

I like how he's got some pride, but he's not super obnoxious about it. By putting it on his chest I feel like he wants people to know, but he's not going to shove it in your face, unless y'know, you want to shove your face in his chest, I won't judge you if you do. ;D

I want to see him at my church and take a picture, he has to visit his brother sometime, right? I will then put this next to pictures of myself other famous Filipino people, like Pacquiao.

I like the tattoo though. I was thinking something Harry Potter (Laugh all you want, hoes.) or Filipino pride. Would it be tacky for me to get this across my breast? I'm debating, neither of them are small. And I'm not talking about the tattoos.
