Wallpaper: yes/no?

Lethologica = story of my life.

So, now that finals are over.
What to do, guys? (;

Had a good one, Butthead?

Sure hope ya did!
Even though we FAIL. epic fail. But I blame Jessica. Or her mother. So, s'all good.

Uh, I'm not sure if I mentioned this to you in your... birthday message yet, but here goes:
I WILL ALWAYS HAVE YOUR BACK BUTT! Got it?! So whenever you feel alone, uh, hello? KNOCKKNOCK. I'm here for you.
& there was something else. Geezus, I remembered it on the toilet. But I forgot. OH WELL, until I remember, MERRY SWEET 16, BUTTHEAD. Finally initiated like the rest of us. xD

P.S. Now I really want a Tron: Legacy suit. But it costs $$$ (that's three-digits right there) just for the light tape. ): SADNESS. It's okay, I'll figure out some other way to duplicate it!

SUMMONING BUTTHEAD PROWRESS! <3

TTW forever and always?

My partner-in-crime and friends in general.

Thank you Jessica Hartono for putting up with me today.
Even though I couldn't talk.
And whined.
And moaned.
And died the entire time.
(& used Butthead's Google Translator Monotone Woman voice to communicate with you.)
YOU DIDN'T GIVE UP ON ME!

(Well, I think you kinda did, but that's okay, because HSM3 made up for it!)
And personally, I believe that a one-man conversation is really boring; so to be able to put up with me like today was A PRETTY AMAZING FEAT.
You should be proud of yourself. And we actually studied! Kinda. Sorta. Ehh... I remember some things. xD BUT GOOD ENOUGH! Yay!

Which actually just goes to show that I'm pretty lucky to have such amazing friends. To be able to put up with me when I'm feeling ASDJFKL; wow, now that's another topic. And compared to a lot of people, I am a big spoiled brat. I get a lot of things, almost everything, that I truly want. But you can't blame me! Blame yourselves! You guys are the ones spoiling me. Teehee?

So next time you're feeling down, think things this way:
Emily needs me. If I'm down, then she's down. And of course I wouldn't want to get her down! So I must be happy! (And that's not just slapping on a smile.) TRULY happy.

Hehehe, don't you just love the way I think things through?
Go ahead; call me conceited. At least I know I am. What's your excuse? (:

Sara Bareilles - King of Anything

You've got opinions, man.
We're all entitled to 'em.
But I never asked...

So let me thank you for time...
And try to not waste any more of mine.
Get out of here fast.

I hate to break it to you babe,
But I'm not drowning...
There's no one here to save.

Who cares if you disagree?
You are not me.
Who made you king of anything?
So you dare tell me who to be?!
Who died and made you king of anything?

Current song obsession.

I HATE HATE HATE not being able to talk correctly.

Speech is the one thing that I control,
the one thing that I take pride in,
the one thing that I try my best to perfect.

And then a few days ago, no thanks to a stupid muscle twitch (I'm Physio-ed out right now), I BIT MY TONGUE.

Who knew I'd be so miserable without my tongue?!
Who knew my tongue would be so important to me?!
Certainly not me.

And now I pay the price.

Right now, I feel so... UGH. Frustrated. Defeated.
Me vs. my tongue. My tongue won.

I'm so angry I'd bite my tongue...
OH WAIT, I DID. THAT'S WHY I'M MOPING AND WHINING AND BEING A LITTLE BABY RIGHT NOW.

I feel so handicapped, and, why, oh yes, DURING FINALS TOO!
Lovely.

I can't talk. I can't sing. I can't eat.
And those are the things that GIVE ME JOY IN LIFE.
I am such a killjoy(?).

That's what I look like right now.
Just kidding. I look a lot happier in the picture.

Hmm, I guess I shouldn't study then! (;

High-Speed Captures

http://www.flickr.com/photos/yahooeditorspicks/galleries/72157625550600212/

WHY IS THIS SO AMAZING?!
I thought I was excited about our action shots
BUT I WAS SO WRONG.
These high-speed captures PWN(?) our action shots!!!

*Note to self: Add "Capture a really super ultra cool high-speed picture" to the bucket list. ;)

Dealing with tears in my family...

I love crying in my mommy's lap.
Because she gently strokes my hair while I confess to her everything that's been bothering me. Then she asks me if it feels better to cry, and I reply affirmatively, all the while my father tells me:

Well, at least you know that you have a good heart... that you are a good person.

Most misunderstood teenagers don't get that kind of love from parents.
I'm thankful that I do.

Currently...

doing homework while

banging my head,

snapping my fingers,

tapping my toes,

to my old playlists:

Jesse McCartney
Cascada
Aly & AJ
Demi Lovato

Taylor Swift

"LET'S DANCE TO THIS SONG!"

Lookbook

Melanie's got me in love with lookbook.nu.
Great. Another distraction.

In love with photography.

Thank god for fast shutter speeds.

Action shots tmrw. What to do, what to do. (;

Mood: internal tizzy.

Tizzy

is officially my new Scrabble word.
If I ever luckily randomly select these letters.
Which is near impossible because there's only one Z, so I'd have to get a blank too.
What a Scrabble nerd I am.

I am constantly in tizzy.

Leap Year

was the most expectable, cheesiest movie ever

and I loved every single moment of it.
Esp. this part:

A bride is toasting her husband at their Irish wedding:

"I want to say thank you to my husband. I want to say may you never steal, lie or cheat. But if you must steal, then steal away my sorrows. And if you must lie, lie with me all the nights of my life. And if you must cheat then please cheat death because I couldn't live a day without you."

^If I attend any significant weddings in the future, that will officially be my toastspeechthingy.
Nearly died on the inside.

P.S. I LOVE THE WAY THE IRISH SAY "IDIOT".
I seroiusly will act like an idiot around an Irish just to hear him call me an idiot. ♥

Eggs Benedict

Upon my return from Reno (a year ago?),
I embarked on a quest to find my beloved EGGS BENEDICT.

After days of searching for such, I found them
@ Cheesecake Factory
and after months of waiting,
going and missing,
B/C of the fact that you can only eat their Sunday Brunch on SUNDAYS BEFORE 2:00 PM
I went today.
I woke up especially early
to go eat.

And, it was not good.
To my utterly extreme disappointment,
Cheesecake Factory < Reno's Saltwater Cafe.

Mood: super disappointed

Thanks, Kirby Boy!

I love it how whenever I'm busy doing homework, you always seem to AIM me and it makes me smile knowing that I can still talk to you and that I haven't drifted from you.

& whenever I'm horribly/fatally sad/depressed, you're like, there. POPPED OUTTA NOWHERE, I SWEAR. And you are, I think, one of the only people right then and there that could bring a CHEESEY smile out of me voluntarily.

& how you can comfort me with your kind(?) narcisstic/skeptic/pessimistic words. xD

& how YOU are in love with Kirby and bunnies and lil kids. Kinda creepy, now that you think about it, but still. (COUGHcreeperCOUGH)

& how you still put up with me after all this time, and don't get annoyed by my random rants.

And even though you sometimes remind me of Confucius, or another really old Chinese philosopher man, I'm thankful for having you in my life.

Long story short, thanks for being my Kirby Boy (:

AHAHAH. ROFL. I love our convos.

"American Talk" w/ HP Cast!

Movie Trailers - Movies Blog

In the spirit of HP, I just had to have something about it.
This cracked me up like CRAZY.

Omg, Real Malfoy Dude is really cute when he does his impressions.
HOWEVER, Butthead, he is not cute in general. ;)

"AW MAN, JUSTIN BIEBER IS THE MAN.
BOOYAH!"
<3 so cuteeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

The Assumption Song

Honestly, did you think dirty?! xD

P.S. YAY! Thanks for teaching me how to embed a video, Oxnard!

WERE YOU ABORTED?! HUH?!

Look to the left. Under username Mastr0something. Read what that says.

^ I guess Jessica wasn't completely nuts when she said that last year while debating in Woods'.
ROFL. EPIC.

Thank you, FLED ♥

For awesome FLED days.
For another sense of belonging.
For sprucing up my days with loving randomness.
For the fact that we don't need to dress up, nor plan anything, but purely chillax around each other.
For people who I don't mind getting on the same bed with. xD
For memories captured in pictures, a.k.a. camera-horsing.

For Fiona, Linda, & Danica.
For being able to say that 100 years from now, I'll still remember y'all.
I hope. xD

ESSAYS KILL ME.

So I finally finalized on what my thesis is going to be.
And I'm writing smoothly and no signs of writer's block yet.
Then, I realized...
MOTHERFUDGEEEEEEEE!
My intro,
my beautifully-written, carefully thought-out intro,
has absolutely nothing to do with my entire essay.

Lovely.
So what do I have to do now
That I don't don't don't want to do?
I'm going to CtrlA my entire wondrous chunk of words
and press delete.

Which means I'm gonna have to come up with a new hook.
Time to go fishing.

LiNK - Life in North Korea

One thing I really hate about Blogspot? I can't embed a video onto this page, so you'll just have to click for yourself and see.

You really should watch that because it might change your world... or it might not.
But aside from my usual "Thank you" blogs, I guess by watching this video, I figured that I'd have to thank my country for the liberty that I am so accustomed to that I forget to be thankful for.
Sure, even when I say that, there's controversy, because my freedom is limited.
But it's not as limited as of those in that video.

Sure, I might not know the whole story.
And sure, maybe this isn't as big of a deal as it seems.
But it's worth watching.

My opinion?
I've watched footage of Invisible Children.
Jacob, the survivor, visited our school.
And it hurt me to know such things were going on in the world
(as cheesy as that sounds).
And it's real.
But when I think about it, I see no point into taking action.
I know it's wrong and purely evil.
And sure, people will know be informed.
But then what?
For me, I see our war in Iraq all over again.
US taking action.
US butting into somebody's else's matters.
US ending up getting hurt in the long run.
I mean, isn't that what happened in Iraq?
I'm sorry if my ignorance led me wrong, but from what I know, as of now, I just see that whole war happening again if we ever do persuade our government to take action. More blood. More tears. That's it.

I could be wrong. Chances are, I am wrong. But that's just my opinion, if you took the time to read through that mass of words.

Watch the video and decide for yourself.
& help spread the word.

Thanks, Daniel Mai!

Wow, it feels weird saying your name. xD So used to calling you "Oxnard"!

Well, I'm not sure if I'm still your best friend, because I'm a pretty horrible one at that.
But it doesn't matter, because I am so thankful for ever having you as a friend.
Like, really.

Not just because you ceaselessly help me with my homework x_O"
But because you're there for me like always.
Which is a bit crazy now that I think about it.
(Note to Oxnard: Get off AIM more often.)

& I don't mind being me around you. Not one bit.
Even when you creeperily take pictures of me WHILE I AM WATCHING CAMP ROCK 2!!! >:|

For sure, the best guy friend I've ever had.
The one shoulder I wouldn't mind leaning on.

Thanks for simply being my friend. <3
Merci beaucoup, mon ami!

Thank you, Tua Cu!

Haha, I didn't have time to blog on the previous days, so I'll make up for it later.

This one's to my uncle in Virginia.
For caring for me like his own child.

And even though I don't agree with his teaching styles,
I'm still super thankful for him.
Because he basically keeps me on track of life.
And wants only the best for me.

Kind of like a second father.

My mother told me that if anything ever happened to my parents, he would be the one I would get sent to. So, I suppose anybody who is worth my mother's trust is worth mine.

& I was never that close to him or anything,
but I appreciate everything that he's ever done for me.

Just this weekend, he called and gave me a "SAT" lecture.
I patiently listened while watching Avatar with my father. Teehee.
He ended up ordering 11 books for me.
& he is officially the incentive for me to sign up for the SATs.

Oh, and I asked him:

But if I get good scores in March, and I skip the one in June, doesn't that mean that I will have wasted $47?!

His reply:

Emily,
You are right!
I will send you a check $500 if you get a score above 2300 on your SAT that you will take in March 2011. That means you are making $453, and I am happy to waste $47.
Have fun studying!
Tua Cu~

Touché. ;)

Thank you, family whose house I take shelter in.

Obviously, for the shelter.

But also, for displaying deception, sin, untrustworthiness, wrongdoing, etc.
Because of that, I've become a stronger person.
Maybe that's a bad thing, that I've gone through that right of passage,
but still, I think I would've been more susceptible to breakdown if I had experienced such evils elsewhere. Coming from family, I have learned to cope with it more and more as each day goes by.
Because you can't hate family.
Or, at least, I can't. I am obligated to accept them and I do.

So thanks.
For slimily sweet-talking in front of faces and stabbing backs from behind.
Because of you, I've found who I won't be. I won't be a liar.

Thank you, EJMTZ.

For a sense of security.

As a teenager, one struggles especially with "finding yourself" and "belonging" and allathat emotional fudgesap.

Y'all gave me a place to reside forever&always. I found a part of me within each of you.

Nomatter what happens, I know I'll always have you guys. Nomatter how far apart we are, how we're drifting more and more each and every day, there's absolutely no way we could go wrong. Never completely. I could hate the way you do something, act someway, but I could never hate you. I can't. I've tried before, but never with success.

I don't know why. Maybe I do. Hm, it's an odd little thing inside my head. But the term EJMTZ is somewhat eternal to me.

So thanks, y'all. For putting up with me. For the smiles. For the pain. For helping me grow up. For keeping me true to myself. For loving me, as far as I know. ;) For giving me a place to stay.

 I love y'all. ♥

5 parts of a butthead/partnerincrime/olbuddyolpal/zeelong whole.

Thank you, ma famille.

It's November! Which includes Thanksgiving; therefore, I will post one thank-you per day every single day of this month.
And since I skipped yesterday (purposefully), I get to thank two people today.
The 2 most important people in my life. No doubt.

I love my parents more than I love anything else in this world. And no, I'm not your typical rant-about-your-parents-on-Tumblr-when-you're-angry-then-thank-them-when-you're-trying-to-be-a-good-child-and-you're-in-a-good-mood.

These two are my best. The only people I wouldn't mind living forever with on a deserted island.

I can only thank you forever. Because the list really does go on and on and on.

But both of you must know that I love you. Yesterday, today, tomorrow, forever&always.

And absolutely nothing can change that.
That's the one thing I can swear on.

To: Mì & Pá
Thanks for everything.

LA LA LAND!

STEM & today

Haha, that turned out puny. CLICK TO ENLARGE IT!

So, I received this in my email yesterday and this was probably the first time in a long while that I've ever been so excited... no, ECSTATIC. I literally was screaming at the computer screen and spazzing out. Kinda like what Tracy does when her soccer team makes a goal. xD

Hey, I had to apply to that program. Essay and all. I deserve to be happy.

To Dennis & Jessica & all you realists out there:
Yes, supposedly, a whole bunch of other people got admitted into the program, but seeing this made me SO HAPPY. You have no idea. Well, it's like when you first started receiving college brochures in the mail and you feel all special, but then you find out that practically EVERYBODY receives the same things you do. xD Oh well.

Now onto my

Boulevard of Broken Dreams.

*Oh, and by the way, today I shook hands with the devil
... AND JESSICA LOST THE BET! IN YO FACE.
Feeling so smug.

Halloween Wedding

Stole this from Jodie's Tumblr.
Ahh! Freaking awesome picture, wedding, and house!

Uh, what happened to the third guy from the left though? xD

UNLEASH THE BEAST WITHIN.

What's so unusual about me ranting?

I'm only human.

I'm not perfect.

We're all ...

imperfection at its best.

Prejudice

"because stamping out prejudice really means forcing everyone to share the same prejudice"

-Jonathan Rauch

^That. is bloody brilliant.

SHE IS SOOO MOTHERFUDGIN' _______ !

Okay, so I'm gonna try as hard as I can not to be mean.
Because, in truth, this girl is really sweet. And cute. And y'know... she's practically pinchable.

HOWEVER, (yes, here goes my rant):

I absolutely cannot work with you.

Everytime I ask you a question, you clearly have no idea whattheheo I'm talking about.
Everytime you ask me a question, I answer your question with MY OPINION.
Because, girl, we're in the same freaking class and I only know as much as you should. SO DON'T ASK ME, "ARE YOU SURE...?" BECAUSE, GIRL, I AIN'T SURE. I'm just telling you what I think. And most of the time, because I actually PAY ATTENTION IN CLASS, I usually am right. So don't doubt me when you have absolutely no clue as to what the answer is and I tell you a somewhat correct answer. Just accept it and move on. I already explained it to you MORE THAN ONCE, while you keep going, "What...?" SO  please, let's just MOVE ON.

You don't have to spend freaking time daydreaming about the answer that'll never magically appear in your brain.
Or ask others around you (because they have work to do too; plus, asking them should be exactly like asking me BECAUSE YOU'RE ONLY ASKING FOR AN OPINION; YOU DON'T KNOW THAT THEY HAVE THE FREAKIN' PERFECTLY CORRECT ANSWER, GIRL, SO WHAT'S WRONG WITH ASKING ME? I AIN'T GOOD ENOUGH FOR YOU?!)
Or raise your hand to bash eyelashes at the teacher for the correct answer. It sickens me every single motherfudging time.

Ugh, you ditsy little inbecile.

[Hey, I said I'd try not  to be mean; I never promised anything. At least I'm not saying this to her face.]

And the worst part? I'm kinda obligated to work with you. And I know you're gonna fail at this, but whatever. I practically did the entire thing by myself, THANKYOUVERYMUCH. So, screw you.

But btw, you really are sugarcoated. I wonder if you ever get sick of others copying your motherfudging homework, or sucking up to people. Remind me to ask you this is person, one day, but with euphemism, of course. You'd never be able to handle a rant like this. See how much I care for you? ;)

Oh, and one more thing, Blogspot? I'm usually a hypocrite; so if I ever do this to any of my friends, please awaken me with a slap in the face.

Sincerely, me.

Got a case of "tongue" bipolar!

Earlier, I went to the dentist.
They numbed me up and now, my tongue still feels fatter than normal.

So, I just took my first sip of water and
BOOM! The water on numbed side of my tongue feels warm,
while the water on the normal un-numbed side of my tongue feels cold.

& yes, I just HAD to share this with my blog.

Lovin' the sensation. xD

If I Die Young - The Band Perry

If I die young, bury me in satin
Lay me down on a, bed of roses
Sink me in the river, at dawn
Send me away with the words of a love song

Uh oh, uh oh
Lord make me a rainbow, I'll shine down on my mother
She'll know I'm safe with you when she stands under my colors, oh and
Life ain't always what you think it ought to be, no
Ain't even gray, but she buries her baby

 The sharp knife of a short life, well
I've had, just enough time


If I die young, bury me in satin
Lay me down on a, bed of roses
Sink me in the river, at dawn
Send me away with the words of a love song


The sharp knife of a short life, well
I've had, just enough time


And I'll be wearing white, when I come into your kingdom
I'm as green as the ring on my little, cold finger, I've
Never known the loving of a man
But it sure felt nice when he was holding my hand, there's a
Boy here in town says he'll, love me forever
Who would have thought forever could be severed by


The sharp knife of a short life, well
I've had, just enough time


So put on your best boys and I'll wear my pearls
What I never did is done


A penny for my thoughts, oh no, I'll sell them for a dollar
They're worth so much more after I'm a goner
And maybe then you'll hear the words I been singin'
Funny when your dead how people start listenin'
If I die young, bury me in satin
Lay me down on a, bed of roses
Sink me in the river, at dawn
Send me away with the words of a love song


Uh oh (uh, oh)
The ballad of a dove (uh, oh)
Go with peace and love
Gather up your tears, keep 'em in your pocket
Save them for a time when your really gonna need them, oh


The sharp knife of a short life, well
I've had, just enough time


So put on your best boys and I'll wear my pearls

My new favorite song? I believe so.

Smitten

I absolutely hate that word.

But it describes exactly how I felt.

PANERA BREAD!

I love Panera Bread. Yes, I do!
I love Panera Bread. How 'bout you?!

If I ever go missing, you can find me @ PANERA BREAD!

Enchanted - Taylor Swift

"Please don't be in love with someone else.
Please don't have somebody waiting on you."

Oh my mother fudging geezus.

It's 1:00 AM. People are sleeping.

Na, that better not be you drifting back and forth on my street.
'Cause it. is. getting. on. my. nerves.

Status? >:O Growling.

Kirby Boy is my Confucius

At a time when I was going to give up all hope, I read these words of wisdom:

dont give up even if it takes forever because even if they're gonna be like this all the time and you have to correct it all the time there's really nothing that can be done, you know? or rather, there's nothing I can think of that can be done so really, all I can do is just tell you to keep trying, no matter how much pain it'll be because it'll only get worse unless something changes everything's up to you because perserverance will always lead to the right solution even if it takes forever and you feel like dying or something even if it takes forever and you feel like dying or something

I'll be her if you need me, by the way
just ask me whatever
seriously, you're still one of my best friends, you know even after two-three years
so yeah, just ask me whatever, complain, whatever you need, I'll always listen!

Even though it's not Thanksgiving yet, I'm saying my thanks to Mr. Brian Hsieh for being a part of my life.
Bless his sadistic(?) soul. (;

The Hunger Games

I think the reason why I love the trilogy so much is because it's different.
Yes, it is my typical read: romance/adventure/mystery
BUT, it's also... real.

As I ventured further and further into the novels, I realized that our society is just like Panem.
As much as I hate to admit it, it's true.
Our government is no more corrupt than that in the books.

And I begin to laugh.
No, not pyschotically. Or maybe so.
But because it took a book for me to realize such a reality of the world I live in.

the perfect way to spend my Fridays

Curled up

In my serene piano room, with the curtains open, on the couch

Reading Mockingjay

With fresh raspberries

The perfect way to end my "stressful" academic week.

Cramping

The 2nd day is always the worst.
I just wanna roll over and lay still.

HBO

Jimeny Crickets!
Now that Cu Thang suscribed to HBO, WE CAN'T STOP WATCHING IT.
24/7 awesome movies.
Just saw Time Traveler's Wife and cried. I'm such a girl.
& Inglorious Basterds(?) was kinda stupid. I laughed, but it was so incredibly stupid.

Phone Pictures

xD Last year, in Keuter, some kid who sat in my seat from the last period drew this and I thought it was pretty awesome, so I took a pic of it.

^L-O-V-E. The left side is mine. Right is Kait's. We were doodling.

Na's 1st(?) fish tank layout. SO COLORFUL I JUST HAD TO TAKE A PIC OF.

During PSATs (omg, it's been a year), we did this. <3

Went grocery shopping with my mother and what do I see?

I see an mutliated orange-lemon and it sees me!

Ahahaha! I was bored, so I made Oxnard bring me toys to school.

LEGOS ARE AWESOME.

One day, during summer, Kait decides to play with bubbles.

Our somewhat FLED day. Linda did a pretty awesome job with Danica's head, I mean hair. ;)

PERRRRRRTY-ER, RIGHT?!

Went biking with Jessica this one time and found this.

That's a duck with some chickens, by the way.

I just had to take a picture.

Aren't they afraid ppl gonna steal them? :(

If you don't see Wall-E, there's something wrong with you. xD

Facebook

Am I a dork for wanting Facebook just so I could save my favorite words from Dictionary.com?

The Hunger Games

OMG, I'M ADDICTED. Well, not really, 'cause I can control my addictions...

BUT it's actually a really good book as far as the imagination goes.
I don't even mind the gore.
Thanks for introducing the book to me, Mel!

While house-hunting in the car w/ my parents...

Me: OMG, ISN'T THAT GUY HOT?!
Mommy: *looks* *snickers*
Daddy: WHAT.

Me: He's wearing black from head to toe!  I'm wearing shorts and I'm sweating in here!
Daddy: Oh.

AHAHAHAHA. You're funny, Pa!

My Super Awesome Labor Day Weekend

Friday: Danica and Oxnard came over to play Scrabble with me and attempt Danica's 750 PANORAMA DISNEY PINK-INFUSED PUZZLE. Crazy stuff. & CAMP ROCK 2! WHOOOOOOO! "We can't, we can't back down!" Omg, so catchy. I think I killed Danica. She was so highperly drunk, I saw our  clubbing future at that instant. G'day! I think we scared Oxnard, or maybe he's used to us by now.

Saturday: Woke @ 5 something AM. 2.5 hr ride to Lake Berryessa, a.k.a. ACORN BEACH. Omg, pictures will come soon, but it felt good living the rich life. The only sad thing? It was only for a day and it wasn't my life forreals. ): <3 White leather boat + jetskis. (Pictures later. xD)

Sunday: OMG, crazy. Sorry about the whole not warning y'all that I couldn't make it and all, but SOCCER GAME! Tracy and thems hecka looked like hobos on the side of the road, begging for money. xD With y'alls carboard boxes and all. Little did I know, I'd be one of those hobos.

 Boxx on the left, Tarp on the right.

BUT Tracy got to meet her favorite and that's what it was for, so yeah. Seriously, can you believe we sat on the bleachers like that the entire time?! ROFL. FUNNNY. FC Gold Pride (home team vs. Boston Breakers! We were the onlys rooting for the Boston Breakers. I told my mom that and she said that if I was in Viet Nam, I'd be shot by now. SCARY STUFFS, MAN. Anywho, AWESOME FUNNESS. 1st legit sports game ever!

Monday: What the heck did I do? Shoot. Forgot. OH WELLS.

The best thing part of doing homework

...is getting to cross it out on your daily OCD planner.

Fiona's right. (;

Tuyen's Video!

Ahahaha! For the world to see what an awesome job us kids did.
Wow, I sound weird. Do I always sound like that? x_O"

WE LOVE YOU, TUYEN!

*cough*

Arb sniffing.

My mother had just requested me to sniff her brassieres.
And so I did.

Awkward turtle...

A Ma!

My grandma is eating some totally hands-on food. Her cell phone rings.

I love the way she licks all ten fingers, then picks up her phone as if her hands are totally clean.

:) I love my grandma.

LupinE

You know you're a Harry Potter geek when you see this and "LUPIN!" pops into your head.

I'm dealing with a girl who, when her father asked her why she stopped crying, said:

"Oh, daddy... 'Cuz I'm at home now. You're so easy. You're so nice. See, mommy's different."

in the snobbiest, stuck-uppish voice ever.
And all just to get out of going to Learning Star (tutoring) and staying at home?



"Oh, Emily. They're just kids," you say. Um, no. Trust me. They're not.

Pi$$ed

• After spending several hours trying to create a new blog (TypePad), I gave up. What a waste of stupid time.
• After spending several NIGHTS on the VietNam video, I FORGOT TO BACK IT UP ONTO MY HARD DRIVE SO NOW IT'S GONE. What a stupid Emily.

Because these things will change, can you feel it now?

-Taylor Swift, "Change"

Huh, wise words, T-Swizzle. Not really, but in the moment, I'm currently scrolling through America's Best Colleges! or so it says. Uh, why are they all in the east coast? Poo. Most of them are in MA too. Poo even more.

Today, I had a long and ... mind-boggling lecture with my mom. Listen to your heart? Or listen to your head? There's a difference. A big one. And she said, to be successful, I gotta listen to my head. Well, that's not how I roll. But that's life. & it irks me to think about this but I gotta. It's just how it is.

Just do it. Nike slogan. Sigh.

Just do it.

• What up with the disco?!
• I'm sorry! I hit the wrong thing!!!
• NO! 15 YEARS AGO, YOUR MOTHER GAVE BIRTH TO THE WRONG THING!!!

Ahahahaha! ROFLROFL.

I LOVE my 2nd family.

Have you ever felt like so?

I find myself defending you from false accusations, but in reality, I really don't know a truth about you.
Is that your fault for misleading me? Or was it mine that I was so naively misled?

Jodie Lu!

L-O-V-E this girl.

Gonna miss her while she's @ NY.

One hour of Oxnard

Instead of doing homework and allathat stuff due in the last weeks of school, I did this.

Julina, dearest!

First thing I see when I sign on AIM? Julina's message.

Wow, I just noticed: Tiff and Dyl are actually smiling forreals, I think!

^Right here's my top priority: my family. I love my parents.

& I'm pretty sure if you knew me at all, you'd know that. ;)

Ain't that right?

This was what we did on Sunday after Viet school and stuff.

Officially, I guess our "Mother's Day celebration" was on Saturday, but that was sort of boring.

Hm, I wonder where all the pics from Saturday went? xD
