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!

Well...

Heh heh heh,

Well, when I was supposed to be doing homework, I managed to finish one essay. I have started the second. Then I went to Dear blank Please Blank. I was only gonna read a couple.

Then I got to the bottom of the page and saw they made other sites. I waste so much time looked interesting. 60pages and 4 hours later.... yea.
Essay is due Monday -___-'

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 ;)

HOMEWORK! DX

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 ;___;

Yea...

I just discovered dearblankpleaseblank.com, mysteryseeker.com and mlia.com all in the same weekend.

Best time ever!!!! Now that I've wasted time on these new sites plus the other sites like youtube and manga.anime, let's see if I can finally start on my government essays that my parents have been thinking I've been working on this whole time.

Gonna be a long week.

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!?

It is PROVEN that studying does not help

Given: Study = No Fail
And: No Study = Fail

1. Study + No Study = Fail + No Fail

2. Study ( 1 + No ) = Fail ( 1 + No )

3. Study ( 1 + No ) = Fail ( 1 + No )
-------- ----------
( 1 + No ) ( 1 + No )

Q.E.D. Study = Fail

goodbye yahoo hello blogger

Yea, well Yahoo Updates has unfortuantely left so now I guess I'll start using my blog. Never really used it before. Just that one time when I didn't know how to use it and posted here instead of on the actual page. Well, I guess I'll give this a whirl so for now, hello world :)
