Oh Haruhi!!! ^^
She's sooooo cute. Haruhi is soooo cute on this page. I also learned a new word, again. Palpitations. Why is it that they use such high English-level words in these manga's???? Weird. Is this really the only word the Japanese word translates to??? Oh well, my Eng. teacher told us to read for fun and I am plus I'm learning new words. Bonus :D
GARISH
I just learned that word and I feel it describes my way of dress perfectly. just had to throw it out there. Have a feeling I'll be using this word a lot just because I can. ^^
Lovey Dovey
Ahhhhhhhhhhh!! Why oh why is this happening. I've been waiting WEEKS for the new T-ara MV to be released. Now that the day is finally here, I've found out that the date's been pushed back to Jan. 2. This is killing me. It's like torture!!!!
On a lighter note, I found out that the MV is gonna be 22 minutes long so I guess it sorta makes up for it. That's about 10 more minutes than I was expecting. Oh well, guess I'll just have to be patient. -_-'

Presentations
You know that feeling when you're soo stressed out about something that you just don't care anymore. That's how I'm feeling right now.
We had to read The Children's Hour by Lillian Hellman. We had like a month to read it. It's only 75 pages so that wasn't bad. I had it read in like three days. Then I put it off for a month and went back and took notes.
Now that the reading's all done, a couple weeks ago, we got instructions for the power point we have to do. The presentation has to be completely planned as in no note cards. Now my group isn't exactly....finished yet. I love my group members to death but we can be really.....not productive at all.
We gathered at Sarah's house before. That resulted in us determining the appearance of the power point, watching a preview of The Children's Hour (the one with Audrey Hepburn),.... watching flashmobs, flashmobs at graduations, discussing how epic it would be to be in a flashmob, discussing that we should do a flashmob at our graduation this year, Sound of Music dubstep(Do Re Mi), how to dance at a rave, how to Dougie, and how to polka. The vast majority of our time being spent on the list after the ellipses. AS you can see, we are an extremely productive group. For the dances we (and by we I mean me and Sarah) attempted to dance to them while Aaron watched. I think we were amazing. At the very least it was really fun(ny).
All kidding aside, we're not that bad with the whole distraction thing.
The big problem is: WE NEED TIME TO PRACTICE!
We are just barely sending the last slide over to Sarah. WE wish we could just have a couple more days because Sarah is ALWAYS BUSY!!! Everyday this week when we wanted to get together, Sarah is suuuuper busy. It's not her fault because she's busy getting credits but still. Ahhhhh! Now we have to go to school suuuuper early tomorrow so that we can practice our presentation. All I want is for it to be 12 minutes. I'll be happy with that.
I just really hope we don't get picked to go tomorrow. We're randomly gonna go up so I hope our name isn't pulled. At the very least not first and not last and not after some group that was amazing.
Oh English class, why must you be so difficult. You give us a month to read the book and 2 weeks to do a powerpoint. Why couldn't the times have been switched?
I really don't care anymore, but as soon as lunch comes and it's the final seconds before sixth period English, I'm gonna die. DX

T-ara
Whoooo! T-ara is finally coming to Nor-Cal!!!! They're gonna be in San Fran in January 13. I really want to go but I don't think I can :( T-ara is like one of my fav. groups. I just finished watching Cry Cry and it was purely amazing. Kind of dark for them but it was still amazing. They left it on a cliffhanger though. I am just counting down the days until the next part comes out on Dec. 24. Don't know if I can wait that long. Sooooo excited. :D I wish I could go to the concert.

I would tell you who they all are but I don't know any of there names ^^' I know, I'm a terrible fan. There music rocks though!!!!
Last Night with the Family :)
Do you guys remember that one picture I posted when we took a family photo, well last night, we had sort of a family reunion. But it was the whole family that came. That picture you guys saw was only about half of the family. Yesterday, all of us were there in addition to my Nana's brothers family. We have a really small family so it's not that much but it was still a fun time. \(^^)/
Now, I'm the oldest of the kids. There are 10 of us. 2 girls and 8 boys. WE kind of split up into three groups. The 'older boys' (6 members ages 14-17), the 'younger boys' (2 members I think they're about 9 and 10), and the girls (ages 14 and 17)
Even though I'm the oldest, recently, I have become one of the shortest. Besides the younger boys and the other girl, I'm the shortest. No actually, the second oldest boy is shorter than me also but just barely. ;)
Dinner was amazing. 15 lbs. of potatoes, a 20lb turkey, plus other good stuff. Then we had apple pie, pumpkin pie, chocolate cake, and all the other candies you get around the holidays like fudge and peanut brittle. There were like 8 different chocolate things like that ALL homemade. All the adults plus the two girls ate together in the living room, the younger boys ate in a bedroom, and the older boys were banished to eat outside. Well, they weren't banished, it was more like, there's no more room in the house eat where you want, and they CHOSE to eat outside in the 30F weather. Brrrr.
I also found out that one of my aunts posted a few YouTube videos, really funny well at least for my family. Aunt Jen What's so great about this is that they were doing this and all the interviews they had for the "movie trailer" were just random people they saw coming out of a movie theatre. They basically just asked them to say stuff about the "movie" These people didn't watch it or anything but they were saying how much they loved it. Too funny. XD There was another video but I don't remember what it was called :( Now I want to do something like this with my friends. ^^
Anyway, yesterday was fun. I wish I had a picture of it, or at least of all us cousins together. I found out where I get my incredibly loud laugh at everything laugh from. There are three members of my family who have the same loud obnoxious laugh. XD
I knew I should have taken a piture!

Demashitaa! Powerpuff Girls Z
So, I found a new manga that I really like, and just like the title sounds it has to do with the powerpuff girls. It's some weird Japanese spinoff of the show. Really interesting actually.
There are 3 girls Momoko Akadzutsumi(Blossom), Miyako Goutokuji(Bubbles) and Kaoru Matsubara(Buttercup). Unlike the American show, these girls are in junior high and were not made in a lab. They are actually different girls who for some reason were chosen to become the Powerpuff Girls Z. I don't know why but I'm sure the next couple chapters will explain...hopefully. They also get calls from some guy named Ken (think he's professor Utonium's assistant) and he tells them when there are monsters. Then they use rings and they transform into the powerpuff girls Z. Kind of reminds me of a mix between Totally Spies and Captain Planet. Anyway, their personalities are kind of the same except Blossom is really irresponsible in this manga. They are supposed to have secret identites but she is constantly almost blurting it out. In the first two chapters the girls have already had to stop her from telling like 3 times. She's just an easygoing person who pretty much gets happy anytime there's food. Doesn't really think things through. Soooo different from the Blossom I'm used to, not that this new one is a bad thing ;)
Unfortunately it seems that there are only 12 chapters but that's OK.
I'd like to thank my Nunkie-kun for helping me discover this.
We were talking about shows from the 90s and I looked up to see what year Powerpuff Girls was made in to make sure it was from the 90s. It was but I saw that it had an anime so I looked and decided I'd check it out. So thank you Nunkie-kun for indirectly helping me find the Powerpuff Gifls Z ^^

VHS Still Rules!
So yesterday, I was filling out requests for fee waivers for college applications. I have to send these through the actual mail (can't e-mail it) so I was using envelopes. I used the last of them so I told my mum and she told me to look through the Walgreens ads for a coupon. While I was flipping through it, I came across a coupon for VHS tapes! 3 for $5.00 Can you believe that! The price isn't that hard to believe but the fact that they were still selling them, I find absolutely amazing!
The TV in my room is one I got when I was 6 so the only thing it has is a VHS player. I use this all the time to tape my shows since there is no DVR in my room. I just simply autotune the Direct TV and then set my TV to tape on the VHS at the same time. AS long as I don't change the channel, I'll tape my show. If I do change the channel, it will still tape, just not the show I originally wanted taped. Even though I can only tape one thing at a time, it's still great because unlike taping on a DVD, I can tape over and over. All I gotta do is hit rewind and then I can tape over it. Though I can tape over and over, the quality gets worse and worse each time you do it. Some spots on my tapes, there is no sound and there is always this loud buzzing when it plays. I don't notice the buzzing but everytime someone walks into my room they're like "What's that noise?"
Even though my TV is super old, I still love it. If it were to break, I don't know what I would do. I mean sure it would be nice to have a screen bigger than a piece of binder paper. (Ok you caught me, the screen is actually a little bigger than a piece of binder paper. Holding college ruled binder paper horizontally the width of the screen is about 1.5 inches bigger. The height is the same as the paper though)
Despite the smallish screen, if the TV were to break, I wouldn't be able to tape my shows. Sure I could watch them online, but we only have one computer with internet and unfortunately, others want to go on it too. Now you're probably thinking why can't I just DVR them on the outside TV. Oh I would if I could but my shows take up too much space. I tape about 10 hours a week of different shows I watch and I don't have enough time to watch them due to excessive ammount of homework I get. (I have like 30 VHS tapes that I use to tape.) Plus, if I were to DVR them, I would have to watch it on that TV which is 95%dominated by my dad.
Well, now you know that there are still some (or at least one) people who use VHS. Though it's not the best quality, it's still really convenient for me. Thanks for buying me the tapes mom!!!!
The picture is a tribute to everyone who still remembers the VHS player. ;P Those who do will find this hilarious. Those who don't won't understand the humor. They'll probably either be thinking "Dumb" or will just be really confused.

Please Have Mercy On My Soul!!

Hello all!!!
Despite the fact that I started out with exclamaion marks, I am actually in a very bad mood. I'm sooooooo tired but I still have so much work to do. I have successfully completed my AP Chem homework so that only leaves me with AP Calc, AP USGov, and reading two chapters from A Light in August.
My APgov teacher, well, this is his first year teaching the AP class. He basically walked onto campuss the first day of school and they were kind of like, "Hey! Welcome back. Guess what. You're teaching the AP government class. Good luck :)"
He's trying really hard but, ay. At first we were doing things that no one thought mattered. I found it a little helpful, kind of like a little refresher but pretty much things I already knew. Now though, it's as if he's trying to overcompensate. He's decided to give us two AP essays each Friday for homework. It's not too bad since the answers are online but still, I have a lot of other homework. Chem and calc requires my full attention so by the time I finally get around to gov, I'm brain dead.
I've also been trying to find good college scholarships. Really happy because one of the schools I applied to just sent me a letter of acceptance along with a $10,000 scholarship. Really happy but tuition alone is like $30,000 so I've been trying to find more. It's really hard though because a lot of the ones that I'm finding have deadlines that have already passed -_______- The ones I have found have deadlines in like the next couple weeks. A lot also require letters of rec. so I should probably get started on that. Oh, whoever said senior year was easy...LIAR!!!!
Now, you see that pic up there? I wish my weekend were like that. Instead I am the Sunday night box all weekend. That $10,000 scholarship makes it seem like it's worth it, but right now I just want one weekend free. Just a little break. It doesn't even have to be a break. Can you make it just so that all my homework can be completed CORRECTLY in one night. I'll even settle for 10 hours. Come on, 10 hours of homework seems reasonable, right? Just please!!!!! Enough of each class giving me 3-4 hours worth of homework. I know you think we don't have lives, which for the most part is pretty much true for me, but still, can't I just relax and let my brain go on the weekend with some mind-rotting goodness.!?
*sigh*
Future Job???

What the heck ever happened to parents telling you what to be when your grown up!?
I'm sooo confused. Today, a lot of parents just want their kids to be happy so they tell them to find something. Do you know how difficult that is. I know I'm not alone because many of my friends have this problem also. How should we know what we want to be when we grow up. We would appreciate a little guidance. Sure having the freedom to choose is nice but it makes our lives so difficult. This picture helps me remain calm though.
Oh why is this decision so hard :(

Picture day!!!

So all went well with the pictures. Everyone showed up and looked really nice.
Everyone was kind of laughing in this pic because the camera guy said to say "More kids" and we all burst out laughing. Then he said "I don't know why but that gets them every time. ^^ We had to take like 20 pics.
For all of those thinking, Yes, we did plan to dress this way. My immediate family is wearing blue and my cousins are wearing green. Nana and Papa just wore blue and green to match our family's.
After the picture we all came to our house to eat Chinese food. It was amazing but we ordered sooooo much.
Here's our menu:
4 boxes of Singapore (kind of like pansit),
3 boxes of fried green beans,
3 orders of chicken in foil,
2 orders of sweet and sour chicken (at least I think that's what it's called. I didn't eat any so I don't know. It was red if that narrows it down,
1-2 orders of Kung pao chicken (not really sure how many orders),
1 order of beef and broccoli
1 order of fried rice
then we heated up some regular white/brown rice mix
I don't remember anything else on my plate so I think this is it. It was two boxes big so it was a lot.
After dinner we ate brownies. It was sooo funny though because my brother put them in the oven. After a little while we were wondering what was taking so long. My mum went to check on them. Turns out, instead of 30 minutes, he put them in for 30 HOURS! Soooo funny. Luckily they didn't overcook. Actually they still needed to be baked a little longer. 10 minutes later when they're done, I'm cutting the brownies and the boys keep yelling from the computer room if the brownies are done. I naturally keep yelling "NO!" I sneak out to where the adults are and tell them to come get brownies before the boys find out. We actually succeeded in this. Surprising really because you can see the kitchen from the computer room. Guess they were too involved with their...whatever they were playing.
Good day. Glad it's over though. I really want to take this eye make-up off. May look nice, but waaaaay annoying.
Also, I'm proud to say that most of my homework is completed. Just a few finishing touches and both of my essays will be complete. At least the government ones. The college app one on the other hand................. -_____-'
No water pressure: Challenge Accepted
The water is still not working properly. A few hours ago the pressure came on pretty good. I got into the shower and managed to get one rinsing. Shampooed my hair. Once I washed it all out the water pressure went down. Water was still coming out but very low. Kind of like a soft rain. Just enough to get the job done. I still had to wash my hair a couple more times so I tried. Now that I'm all dry I found out that I didn't exactly get all of it. The left side of my head is a little sticky. Not too much. You can't even tell unless you touch my head and even then you probably wouldn't notice. Just a slight stick. Oh, well. At least I'm finally clean.
Now that I'm all clean, we're all getting ready for pictures. Have about 1.5 hours. My mum just did my hair. She straightened my already pretty straight hair. Then she put make-up on me. Not really used to wearing make-up (far too lazy usually) so I'll have to make sure that I remember and don't touch my eyes too often.
1.5 hours. I can do it! \(^^)/

why oh why!?
So today is picture day.
NO, not for school. My grandma wanted a family picture so we're having a professional one done with my family, my grandparents and my cousins.
Grand total:
2 grandparents
2 kids (my dad and aunt)
2 kids spouses (my mum and their dad)
4 grandchildren (me, Chrisotpher, Lucas and Jacob)
So anyway, we've been planning this pic for like 2 weeks and now the day is finally here. In exactly 3.5 hours, we will be taking the first family photo since I was 4 (I'm 17 now).
Today I woke up and planned to take a shower. SURPRISE!!! The water is turned off for some unexplained reason. WE've tried calling and calling but no luck. The water will not be turned on til 3:00p.m. I knew I should have taken my shower last night!

Also
Yea, I almost forgot. When I left for my cousins house, i was on chapter 18 of the Ouran Koukou Host Club and I was waiting to start Baka and Test. NOw I'm on chapter 40 of Ouran KOukou Host CLub and I've watched the whole anime of Baka and Test.
Very proud of this. I also found out that Baka no test to Shoukanjuu is an ongoing manga.
Guess what I'll be doing today ;)

Thanksgiving Break
I know, it's been a few days, but I went to my cousin's house Monday and just got back yesterday (Thanksgiving Thursday). So here's basically how it went out there. :)
Let's see...
I baked pies, I helped cook, I helped clean. Most of the stuff during the day seemed as if I were in housewife training mode. It was still fun though. Waaaaay better that staying here and doing homework.
The first night, we ate stew, the second was roast beef and the third night was chicken and rice.
After the roast beef dinner, me and my uncle had a long talk about engineering. I'm thinking about going into it so he started telling me about it. He's an electrical engineer. It was interesting. Sounds like a lot of work but it sounds pretty cool.
The third dinner was soo funny because my cousin( Christopher) asked for chicken and rice but it's the day before Thanksgiving, when they're going to have turkey. When we were making it, he also decided to have a pizza when dinner was going to be ready in like 1.5 hours. Weirdo. He ate a lot of the dinner though so I guess the pizza didn't affect him too much. I really liked it too. It was soo weird though. It was made with this thing called instant rice. Truly an astounding invention. The rice was ready in 5 minutes! It just totally blew my mind! O.O
On tuesday we went and saw Jack and Jill. It was really funny. I didn't think I'd like it that much but it was really funny. Not the funniest thing ever, but it had it's moments. The ending was the best!
During the nights, Christopher refused to let me sleep. And by this I mean he stayed up watching TV and my room is right there without a door so even though I wanted to, there was too much light and too much noise. The three nights I went to sleep at 3:30a.m., 2:00a.m., and 3:00a.m. May not seem that late but when I'm used to going to bed at 12:00a.m., trust me, it's late. :/ It's OK though, it was fun staying up with him. Me, him, my other cousin(Jacob), and my brother(Lucas) stayed up together and watched TV. I was sooo jealous because Jacob would get tired and was able to go to his room on the other side of the house and go to sleep. I wish I had that luxary, but Christopher would just not allow it.
Now, what could there possibly be to do at this time in the morning. 2 answers: Internet and Netflix. The first nights we all watched Baka and Test. Hilarious. I think my favorite characters would be the FFF. My second fav. character would be Shoko. She's amazing XD The second night, they watched Soul Eater while I was on the computer reading Ouran Koukou Host Club. Then they started watching the anime. I was reading it while they were watching the anime. The anime's nice, but not as good as the manga, they either alter it or leave so many parts out :( It was fun though because I was only one chapter ahead of them so I read while the chapter I just finished played on the TV. Then I would tell them how different the anime was from the manga. Eventually, they did catch up because the anime skipped some chapters in the manga. Luckily for me it was the last 2 episodes of the anime so they couldn't spoil that much for me. ^^ Also, Crayon Shin-chan... never again. -_____-'
Right now, It's Black Friday and my family is out at the malls. I'm supposed to be here finishing up my homework but this is more fun. Talking about my life: not interesting to others but doing this is like reliving it for me! ^_^ Still have soo much homework left ;___;

I really liked it too. It was soo weird though. It was made with this thing called instant rice. Truly an astounding invention. The rice was ready in 5 minutes! It just totally blew my mind! O.O
On tuesday we went and saw Jack and Jill. It was really funny. I didn't think I'd like it that much but it was really funny. Not the funniest thing ever, but it had it's moments. The ending was the best!
During the nights, Christopher refused to let me sleep. And by this I mean he stayed up watching TV and my room is right there without a door so even though I wanted to, there was too much light and too much noise. The three nights I went to sleep at 3:30a.m., 2:00a.m., and 3:00a.m. May not seem that late but when I'm used to going to bed at 12:00a.m., trust me, it's late. :/ It's OK though, it was fun staying up with him. Me, him, my other cousin(Jacob), and my brother(Lucas) stayed up together and watched TV. I was sooo jealous because Jacob would get tired and was able to go to his room on the other side of the house and go to sleep. I wish I had that luxary, but Christopher would just not allow it.
Now, what could there possibly be to do at this time in the morning. 2 answers: Internet and Netflix. The first nights we all watched Baka and Test. Hilarious. I think my favorite characters would be the FFF. My second fav. character would be Shoko. She's amazing XD The second night, they watched Soul Eater while I was on the computer reading Ouran Koukou Host Club. Then they started watching the anime. I was reading it while they were watching the anime. The anime's nice, but not as good as the manga, they either alter it or leave so many parts out :( It was fun though because I was only one chapter ahead of them so I read while the chapter I just finished played on the TV. Then I would tell them how different the anime was from the manga. Eventually, they did catch up because the anime skipped some chapters in the manga. Luckily for me it was the last 2 episodes of the anime so they couldn't spoil that much for me. ^^ Also, Crayon Shin-chan... never again. -_____-'
Right now, It's Black Friday and my family is out at the malls. I'm supposed to be here finishing up my homework but this is more fun. Talking about my life: not interesting to others but doing this is like reliving it for me! ^_^ Still have soo much homework left ;___;

So I hear that the best rapper is white and the president is black. What happened!?

Ugggghhhh
OK. So I have sooooo much stuff to do this week.
I'm on Thanksgiving break this week, but unfortunately, half of my teachers decided to give me homework. I also have to do UC application essays. Thankfully, most of my calculus is finnished, and all I have to do in English is read chapters 11+12 Of A Light in August. One of my UC essays is also finnished. So that leaves me with...
2 government essays, 1 UC application essay and 2 chapters of A Light in August to read.
What makes it worse is that I'm going to my grandparents/cousins house this week. Leaving tomorrow and won't be back til Thanksgiving. I'm excited about going, but not too excited about the three essays that await me when I get back. Hopefully I'll manage to get at least one of them done tonight ^^
siguro, kung Ouran Koukou Host Club doesn't distract me, I'll be good
very unlikely though -____-
Oh well, at least I'll have a good time in the country. Can't wait!!!!

Pacific Preview Day
Yea well, today was a really long day....
Preview day started at 9:00a.m. WE left the house at around 8:45. When we get there, I see Amy. Turns out we were both signed up for the civil engineering program so we got to spend the whole day together. ^^
The engineering program was interesting. During it I thought maybe I wanted to change from civil engineer to electrical engineer, but after the specific presentations, Electrical is totally out! Has waaaaay too much to do with computers. Not really my thing. -___- Civil still sounds pretty interesting so maybe I'll end up doing that. The co-op program also sounds like a good deal. It's a 7.5year internship. Not too shabby. :)
I don't know why but I like really want to study Japanese in college. It's just such a cool language and culture. During the presentation, they said they were starting up a branch of engineering in Japan so double score!!! My mum said if I really wanted to I could but she doesn't really see the value in it. Oh well, at least she's not against it ^_^
During lunch, I saw some kids from school. Two of them went to mine and Amy's elementary school so it was like a little reunion for her. She hasn't seen Aaron in hecka long. It was so cute when they hugged and were just seeing how much they're changed. Honestly, I don't think they've changed at all. :P
After that we went to the financial aid presentation which is where I fell asleep so I guess this concludes the exciting day of Sierra! *boring* At least I got to see Amy ^^

Internet Friends
Well, let's see.....
My friend Bunji is apparantly really sick and or busy right now. She sent me a really short e-mail saying how busy she was. I guess it's better than not getting any e-mail at all. Personally though, I make my other friends wait until I actually have some quality and quantity stuff to say. Anyway, she said she has problems right now, so I hope you feel better soon Bunji. :)
Now, my Nunkie-kun just gave me a quiz on Austrailian culture. He just told me all the answers a few days ago. Man I wish I studied. All I really know is that college is not college but 11+12 grade. Sooo weird. Also that apparantly it's summer in December. The world doesn't make sense anymore. The day before I gave him a quiz on American pop culture. My friends gave me that exact same quiz. Well, he got one more question right than I did. -____- Is it sad that an Aussie knows more about American culture than I do?
These are the questions I asked...
1.)Name the four memebers of The Beatles
2.)Which band was Mick Jagger a part of.
3.)name two movies Leonardo DiCaprio was in(besides Titanic and Romeo and Juliet)
4.)Name two movies Audrey Hepburn was in.
5.)Name three Beatles songs.
1.) I was able to get 3/4...he got3/4
2.) No idea....No idea
3.)WE were both able to get two movies. We came up with the same ones actually ^^
4.)I won here. got two while he only got one
5.)This was the tiebraker. I only got 1 while he managed to answer 3. -__-'
....so close
Well, if it's any consolation, he owes me a lobster dinner and a trip to the Phillipines ^^
My Chichu. I haven't talked to her in sooo long. I hope everythings alright. Now I know how my friends must feel when I don't respond. :( Chichu, I hope you're well. :}
Hope all of my mga kaibigan are well and hopefully I'll talk to them all soon!
Isn't having friends around the world fun!?

3. Study ( 1 + No ) = Fail ( 1 + No )
-------- ----------
( 1 + No ) ( 1 + No )
Q.E.D. Study = Fail
...(*stares at Study Guide*).... "Curse You"
And: No Study = Fail
1. Study + No Study = Fail + No Fail
2. Study ( 1 + No ) = Fail ( 1 + No )
