No Parents?
After touring prospective students around school for two hours, my Mom picked me up at noon. We went home and my parents had to get ready for their flight to Vegas. My parents plan to iChat with me while they’re on their trip because I taught them how to use it. Haha, I find it pretty cute. Then they left at around 2 and I felt a little empty. I never knew how dependent I was on my parents....
January Babies
Tonight we had a surprise party at my cousin’s house for my mom, aunties, and nephew. They had no clue about it because we kept it on a DL. It was, of course, a big filipino party with lots of delicious food to grind on. Apparently, I didn’t really get to grab ‘seconds’ because Kathleen came to pick me up around 8:30 for Misha’s party. The party was fun with no...
Fatigue
I’ve been feeling this horrible stress in my brain for the past two days. I haven’t been getting enough sleep due to school-related things. But thanks to Catholic Schools Week, we don’t have school tomorrow, which gives me time to catch up on sleep. I feel like my eyes just want to fall off or something. Anyway, today went pretty well. I went to Casey’s house after school...
And the weather's so breezy
Man, why can’t life always be this easy? So my subject pretty much relates to what I’m going to write about: Weather and life. Haha. I loved the weather today. I was in warm classrooms the entire day and when I stepped outside, it felt like being in an air conditioned room. I shouldn’t be complaining though because I’d rather have cold weather than hot. Too bad I keep...
Happy Birthday, Mom!
After a long day of school, I met up with my Mom at Chinatown for our family dinner at Golden Palace Restaurant. I love love love love love Chinese food, especially their dim sum and walnut shrimp! It was too late for dim sum though, but it was a fulfilling meal. Too bad extremely delicious food can be expensive. Haha. Then after, we went to Best Buy because my brother and I were supposed to get...
Wasting time
I realized how much I take advantage of time and how I let situations “slide” instead of doing something about it. I need to live in the moment and stop worrying so much about the future. Before I know it, all the good times in life will pass me by and I’ll regret not living it.
I love surprise visits
The original plans for tonight were to eat Auntie Pasto’s on Beretania Street with the girls. Due to indecisive situations, the plans resulted with California Pizza Kitchen and my house. Since I was home alone and had no transportation to Pearlridge, I wasn’t able to eat dinner with them. I felt really bored and sad? Hah, I don’t know. But I felt a whole lot better when they...
Selling school books
After cleaning out my drawers full of school-related things, I realized how many quality used school books I have. I hate how our school has to buy most of our school books (other than textbooks) at Ike Pono. It’s only a good thing when someone who didn’t buy the books that they need for a certain class, you can sell it to them. So far I’m pending on selling a Church History book...
Malama Obama
I got him like two weeks ago? Yoshi was given to me by Mark “just because”. It’s funny how I mentioned getting one and he bought it instead.
But other than that, I spent the whole day cleaning the house. I’m proud of myself though because I was very productive. Cleaned the living room, bathrooms, and my room. I think my Mom and I are going to buy bed sheets when she gets...
Long, relaxed weekend
I believe that I’ve had the longest, relaxed weekend so far. Apparently, it’s going to be extended until tomorrow. Evonne and I decided not to go since they’re going to have exams that were cancelled on Friday, on Tuesday. So if we went, there would be no point in getting exempted. It said that we’re ‘expected’ to be in homeroom at 12 to watch Obama’s...
Winnie the Pooh
My cousin’s first birthday party was yesterday. He looked really adorable with his little tuxedo and converse shoes. Ugh, I seriously love little kids. They make me so happy. Haha. Anyways, I had to stay in the front and welcome guests for the beginning half of the party. Then I got to eat the delcious Chinese food that the restaurant had. The only food missing was the walnut shrimp, which...
School cancelled
I know it shouldn’t really matter to me since I’m already exempted from the exams that were suppose to be tomorrow. But it’s really funny how all those people who are supposed to take their exams tomorrow, are taking them on Tuesday instead, which gives them a four-day weekend. Lucky. I guess this storm must be really big because it seems like schools are going to be cancelled. I...
Exemptions
The past two weeks of returning back to school have been really stressful. College, last minute tests, and exams have been seriously clogging my brain. Sometimes I feel like laughing when I’m stressed out because I feel crazy working so hard. But working hard is rewarding so I can’t argue with that. Can’t wait for the weekend, which starts early for me because I don’t have...
Last day of Winter Break
I can’t believe how much this sucks. Today officially ends my last winter break of my senior year. I’m not even prepared for midterms and college even. Fuck my life - well, not really. But seriously, AP Spanish is going to kick my skinny ass. I never studied anything for that and I already feel the failure screaming at me. Oh well. At least I know I won’t be taking an exam for...
Happy New Year!
2009: There’s so many things that I hope to do/accomplish this year. I’m totally anxious, nervous, and excited for every bit of it though :] Here’s to the first blog of the new year!
