Taylor & Me

Love her in these moments. Such a cute kid, just over-influenced.

Rapping Dude

So since we had a whack schedule, due to STAR testing, I thought I'd wait for Jessica (Lee) to walk with to class after Woods. And so we're walking.... hastily... because the bell was about to ring any second (& it did) and it just happened to be one of those moments where you're not really walking WITH somebody, but more like next to the person in the same pace... and the dude starting rapping. And I'm just looking at Jessica and she's just looking at me and we're both thinking "Wtpig?! Do you know him?!" and we finally actually listen to what he's rapping and it turns out he's making everything up on the spot! Like, literally. Um... I don't know how it went, but it was really good... following his own beat and everything! The only line I remember was:

And you, over there, sipping --what-- green tea?

 because that's when I finally realized he was talking to me. xD & more of all these cool rhyming words and whatsnot. Jessica finally asked him if he was rapping everything on the spot and he replied with a rap all the way, of course, but the bell rang, so we ran away.

I knew we had singers and dancers and instrumentalists and athletes, but I didn't know our school had that much real talent.

Nothing much.

I hate that you unintentionally make me smile when my mind just starts thinking about you.

& then you wonder, "Who da heo is she talking about?" and I reply, "No one," because in fact, I'm not supposed to love you.

After all, he's just a figment of my imagination.

Whatever, I'm already content with my fambam and homie gees. <3
I don't need you. So why should I waste time trying to play games with you?
I see all these girls, getting their hearts broken, even before anything happens, and I'm just thinking, I have better things to do with my heart.
Am I in a state of delirium? Or am I simply being realistic? I prefer the latter.

But yes, I do like you.
So what then?
Nothing. Just 'cause I like you doesn't mean I'm gonna make you be mine. Why should I? Don't you like your freedom? I know I love mines.

So, tell me when you're ready. You'll know when the time comes.

Omg! She actually smiled! FORREALS! (I think.)

Teehee. If you're wondering how she grew that tall... she didn't. I sat down.

TRACY!

Yes, we made those shirts.

Jealous, much?

Spring Break Highlights!

Wednesday: Danica's birthday party!
Amazing, nonetheless. I mean, it took place @ Chuck E. Cheese's. 'Nough said. ROFL. Who knew Oxnard was so freakin pro at DDR? & got served by a lil boy at racing, but I LOVE [Fast and Furious] RACING! <3 Hopefully, when I'm able to drive, I won't drive that ferociously. Anywho, lots of Danica's peeps there. Everybody won at least one jackpot/bonus thing. Sigh, EXCEPT FOR ME. Oh well, I had a coolio time there. Deal or no deal?! NO DEALLL FTW!!! & alligator smacking to the MAX! & holy fudge. I really hope Danica had a good time. For what it's worth, I know everybody there did.

Thursday: Hannah's birthday party!
BOWLING! Fail, nonetheless. (Wow, I'm liking that word today. xD) Um, what to say what to say. It was fun. Awkward moment when Jessica's gift to me got scrambled in with Hannah's bunch of presents. Cough. But besides that, it was fun hanging with diff. ppl...! Weird how the birthday girl didn't like bowling. Yet, her party was at a bowling alley. So-called because her parents didn't allow lotsa guests at her house and because they're cheap. Yet, the freakin' party costed lotsa MOOLAH. I should know. Me&Jessica&Danica were standing right next to her parents when they paid. Hope Hannah had a BLAST! <3

Friday: My Superly Orange Sweet 16!
I know, I'm weird. So, I made everybody wear orange. (Hey, I gave them the option of taping Cuties to themselves!) Weird mixup with the invite list. Made me kinda emo there for a while, but whatevs. Ppl came and some didn't, but that's alright. I'd a great time w/ or w/o them, so I guess s'all good, right? Family came... 'twas an itsy bit awkward (turtle/whale/worm/flag/balloon) there for a while, but we segregated. KUNG FU PANDA JUMPER FTW! Mucho gracias a mon pere for the BBQ and all the planning! Chalked up my whole front parking lot area! Failed at setting up a net. xD Pigging out, MAFIA, zoo, opening presents, [Spiderman doesn't exist, guys. Sorry to get y'all disappointed. ;)], buncha pictures, PINATA, attempt at Wii-ing, oh dear. <3 One of the best days ever. Thanks, JMTZ, Julina, Janki, Danica, Christine, Hannah, Melmo, Linda, & Fiona! Geez, I'd thank all of you for your gifts, but you already know what y'all got me, so why bother? [Sorry Hannah missed the cake!] Teehee, I almost cried cuz they embarrassed me so much / sang to me (EVEN IN CHINESE!). Goddangit. I can say that right now, anytime I'd ever feel emo, I just think back to that day, and hopefully, remember that I'm truly blessed to have these freakin' girls as friends. [& Oxnard and Kirby Boy!]

Saturday: My FAMILY party!
Well, this was just supposed to be any other Sunday with all the regular ppl, and I guess it was... in a way. We didn't traditionally celebrate it (movies&sleepover-in-tent) cuz we had Viet school the next day BUT I have to say, I didn't think I'd be any happier when Friday was through, but my family has made me thus. So I come over in my most cozy sweater and comfortable jeans; I wasn't even dressed up for nothing. I was just expecting to hang out with thems. And everybody turned out to give me presents, cards, money, whatsnot. I was seriously content after my Sweet 16 with my friends already, but this... this was the mochi (I don't like artificial cherries!) on top of my sundae, you could say. Well, got there, and first thing I see: Na's jumper! EEEEEEP! <3 Mucho gracias! (See, Trace? I got it right.) & what else? Tiffers+Na went to get balloons for me! Hello Kitty + 1 + 6 + random = MY SWEET 16! Rofl. Do I seriously look like the kind of girl that would love Hello Kitty that much? xD Normal gaming on the Nintendo 64. Best video game system EVER! & more food (Thanks Mi & Pa for planning everything... the best birthday ever, much? On top of everything y'all have to deal with, too!). & jumper = NIGHT TIME MAFIA! Teehee! I won, like, my first game ever! In a large group of ppl too! & omg, Mikey's so freakin cute / a handfull. & after, it was just a social gathering, I think. Me & Trace freakin' worked on the shirts like CRAZY. But I think it was worth it. Oh, and guess what? TRACY MADE ME A VIDEO! Freakin' "school" video, my butt. Aw, as if I didn't have enough reason to tear up!? Teehee!

Click on the video! <3 So freakin' cute. Even though she didn't have that much time to edit it!

Sunday: Taylor Swift Concerto!
Woke up from a restless night, cuz two days of jumper in a row + GYM the last few weeks = SORE LEGS FROM HELL. Omg, so freakin' unfit and obese. So, went Viet TA-ing. Monica wasn't there... ): . After, spent the whole freakin day finishing up the shirts and the HORSE SIGN. Then letting it dry / blowdrying it. It was a busy day and I'm super sorry that I neglected my kumquats (the kids). Um, when concert time came around, DANG, WE WERE TIRED. But excited. I freakin' jumped around like crazy when I finally put the shirt on! & poses for the camera and we're off! Sorry, Cau Duy for freaking you out in the car. We glowsticked and made sure everything was ready. Okay, seriously, it was our first time @ a concert, so we were... you could say, clueless. xD But, it was amazing for a first time. At first, it was yawnyawn, cuz I didn't know Gloriana. And Kellie Pickler = WHOOOOT! Then TAYLOR SWIFT = hyperventilating. She was AMAZING LIVE despite whatever youknowwho said! My doubts are no longer with me! Um, that's all I'm gonna say. We failed at getting into the T-Party room, cuz our seats = HORRID. I'm not even gonna go there, cuz I'd be like DOWNDOWNDOWNDOWNDOWN. But, I think it's cuz I had an amazing Spring Break, and it'd be unbelievable if I got to meet TSwift so destiny didn't let me. But oh well. NEXT CONCERT, HERE I COME! <3 Hard-core rocking, mang.

 FEARLESS.

Monday: Back in this dump
Thought I lost my voice but not yet. Hearing... definitely impaired. Sleepy? OH YEAH.

from my family and friends,

or rather, to my family and friends,

thanks

for everything.

I love wasting time.

I just love it when I have nothing to do (nothing that I want to do, anywho!) and I just sit around or listen to random music or surf online or stalk ppl's blogs or watch movies that I've always wanted to but never did or watch new Disney channel episodes or call an ol' buddy or attempt to stalk somebody or simply just walk around the house or...

Y'know that feeling? Just pure freedom to do whatever the heo you wanna do. & right now, I really want to blog about my amazing spring break, but I have stuff to do.

So, I'm going to resist that feeling. And do what I have to do. Because I gotta just do it. Nike, baby.

That Empty Feeling

Ugh, why do I always feel as if I need to do something but I HAVE ABSOLUTELY NO IDEA WHAT IT IS?!

I know it's not just me, but don't y'all hate that feeling aussi? asdfjkl;.

A Day with Daddy

• Tried on bike helmets. Haha, I asked my dad, "Hey, what about this one?" and put on a motorcycle helmet. He responded, "Sure! As long as it protects your head!" I thought he was kidding, too, but he was dead-serious. xD
• He seemed more excited about my Sweet 16 than I personally was! "What about chips?" "What about cups?" "What about water guns?" "What about ...?" I rest my case, Father.
• Grocery shopping. Saw some kid breaking down to "Break Your Heart" by Taio Cruz? I think he was trying to get his mom to dance with him in the meat aisle, but needless to say, his plan failed. He was cute though... about 6 years old?
• Eh, here and there. :) Thanks, Pa!

TO MY HIGHNESS, LINDA LUONG

Well, she wanted this, so here goes.

She's vicious. She can bite your head off. She's the only person who freakin' kissed me on the cheek. & yet, we all know that we love her, 'cuz she's HER ROYAL MAJESTY, Miss Meater!

I guess we aren't the CLOSEST of all friends, 'cuz duh, she's @ Inde with all her besties and I'm @ Piedmont with all my homies, but somehow, I can always count on her to be there for me... she got my back, y'know?

What else? Don't mess with her, 'cuz if she isn't hardcore enough to kick your butt, I will be. & I don't know why, but she always can cheer me up when I'm down. Maybe 'cuz she's so FIERCE!

Oh, and beware, this girl is a hardcore Lady Gaga fan, so don't diss the Lady or you're going down.

She's the Meater to my Beaner. I think she's the only person that can change my mind about eating meat. & I'm pretty sure she's the one who drove me so crazy I became Mexican. Yes, remember, everybody? I'm half-Mexican.

& she can eat like a BEAST, I'm warning you. But at the same time, she's freakin' "shy" and "polite" and "ladylike".... COUGH, MYBUTT. <3 But we love her as is.

& what else did you want, Linda? Well, I'm sure I missed a whole bunch of details about this chick, but one thing for sure is:

I LOVE YOU!

Kait says the darndest things!

While in the car...


K: Look over there! My daddy took me there before! *points @ the PMS track*
Me: Cool.

*pause*

K: One time, I dragged my dad to the dark side...

Me: x_O"
