OoO shiny...

Wow...what a weekend so far. Friday was work, and then setting up for the dance, and then the dance. Then chinese school summer homework that was due this morning. Yeah so I woke up early to finish it too. I'm a bad procrastinator. Eh...Oh wells. First day of chinese school was...interesting. I got back home, and went to Smud's b-day party, but not after stopping at Borders to buy her a card along with her awesome shirt that says:: Skilled....in every position. wanna play? Perfect shirt for smud. *wink*wink* So they pulled me into the uh...quintet to make it a...sextet i think. Poor melissa and sean...if you were there, and understood what was happenning you'd know why I said that. So then I went to the party..and tried to play football and basketball. Tried is the key word. But then I went to go see the medallion. before the movie there was an incident with the shopping cart, and a chinese restaurant...don't ask. I was really tired, so I didn't pay that much attention. All i remember is shiny stuff and that funny guy. It gets a C rating by kim...since it didn't totally put me to sleep. But for now...I'm gonna talk to my good friend Alan.

Is it a bad thing that I already feel like I need a bit of a break? It might be. But I mean...doesn't everyone feel that way? I always manage to pull through. Success seems like it's the only option sometimes, so I guess I'm getting there. Whatever "success" means. People always tell me, do what you like to do...when referring to a job. Nothing else matters. An for now atleast, I'm loving my job. The kids are a whole ton of fun. When they talk to you, they just sit on your lap without asking. Then all of a sudden you've got kids hanging off of you everywhere. We went into the MP room to play some games like Freeze Dance and Shark Attack, and all that fun stuff. The person I'm an aide for is Ryan something...that starts with a C. He used to go to MC too. I'm glad I'm working here and not Oscars. There's nothing wrong wih Oscars, it's just that I enjoy this a lot more. Much needed beauty rest....ZzzZzz

Back to school

Today was filled with stuff to do. I still have stuff to do, so i'm not going to write much but yeah. Highlights of the day::
1. having awesome teachers
2. having brit lit with meg and angela
3. having 4 classes with meg
4. first day at ESS (way fun)
5. seeing people I haven't seen forever
6. Orchestra
7. finding out that there really are rats in our ceilings [thanks to Mr. Dorr making a piece of rat turd fall onto my chair]
8. finding out that a few words of encouragement can do so much [just a few words...I'm serious]

Mahi Mahi

I went to the beach today with Meg, Ivan, Josh, and our wonderful chauffeur Adam. It was fun, but I think I have a cold, cuz I'm coughing up something...it's not green yet..ok I'll stop before I gross anyone out. I wanted Cacho "the Nacho" (as named by megan) to be there, but he couldn't come. Ivan and Adam both thought that he was related to Sean Cacho...we even "argued' about it. No one believes me. We went to Rubios afterward...man I was hungry. I ate my Mahi Mahi Burrito fast. Lemon on fish...you can't go wrong with lemon. Yum... I promised meg that I'd take her for some Dim sum... a good chance for me to practice my chinese. hehe. Instead of pointing and going..I want that.

Canadia eh?

In case you didn't know... I was in Canada for the last week. It was a crazy day before we even left, and when we got to Calgary at midnight or so, we still had almost a two hour drive over to Banff. Our resort was really nice though. The first day, we drove around and saw some pretty awesome places. The downtown area at Banff is really small and cute. I liked it, eventhough every other store was a gift shop. I really am not a big fan of shopping unless it's for dresses with my friends...so i tried to shop as quickly as possible so as to lessen the torture. They have this accent up there, and not to mention the signs that are in French and English...oh yeah that doesn't help when you are frantically trying to find a street and your mom is reading stuff that makes no sense. We got to go canoeing in a couple of lakes, and we went white water rafting. I was so excited about going...I was all dressed out in my wet suit, booties, jacket, and had my life vest and helmet in hand. Then we had the "safety talk"...basically the "scare-the-daylights-outta-you-about-drowning-in-the-river-if-you-fall-out-talk". Yeah that scared me a bit, but i still wanted to go real badly. It was fun. I recommend it to anyone who wants to go. Don't go for the class 2 rapids...those are a bore, cuz the 4 plus rafting level was tons of fun. According to our guide though anything that is 5 or higher is more like scary fun. Yeah...bad times. But now I'm back...and btw the THREE AMIGAS are REUNITED!!! Ya'll better watch out! It's gonna get crazy. hehe.

The wheels are turning

For some reason I have all these thoughts again. Maybe it's just that when I'm tired, I start thinking more about stuff. Like for example. I know we always say..what would you do if you knew that you were going to die tomorrow? [or two weeks or a month or whatever] and people always say that they'd do all these things they were always afraid of trying because of fear of death. Or they say that they'd go see all their loved ones and let everyone know that they loved them. Or there's always some brat who says that they'd have sex drink party and do a whole bunch of drugs. If you look at it, out of the three, only one deals with consequences. Would it really make a difference, though, if you did go and see all your loved ones? I think it'd make it harder. I don't think I'd tell anyone if I knew that I was going to die, but I'd make sure that all the people around me knew that i loved them. I sometimes wish that there were only like 5 people in the world besides my immediate family. It'd be so much easier to deal with stuff like making sure you don't hurt anyone's feelings. But then it'd be like going to a small school...there'd be no privacy or choice of who you'd rather spend time with. I have a tendency to end up neglecting people when there are a whole ton of people around me. It's like I spread myself too thin, and only a few people have had the balls to ever tell me that to my face. I admire people who can be straight up and honest about stuff. I'm not saying I don't usually go on the defensive, but if you give me a little time, I do take it in. I'm not a stubborn brat I hope. Anyway...I'm missing Megan a ton, and now I'm gonna miss Angela. She's gonna go to Hawaii and surf a whole ton. I'm not jealous. I'm not jealous. I'm not jealous.

Finished...sort of

I just finished my last day in my US history class and I feel kinda relieved. But then I get home and realize that I have to do so much stuff. No more link crew for now, but now I have my AP gov summer assignment to finish, my AP Environmental Science summer assignment to do, write a letter to my chinese school teacher, finish my chinese school homework, finish reading Hardball, prepare for my auditions [school and SDYS], and LAX summer League this saturday. Whew! Just a tad overwhelmed...I want to be underwhelmed...if there is such a word. I might be kind of mean to people when I'm stressed, I like myself so much more when I'm not. Today was a fun day though. Hot...but fun. We did Link Crew stuff today, and that was a blast. After that i had to do some ASB stuff for registration. OMG registering freshmen is the worst because the parents come with them, and all they do is complain. Asking questions is fine, I can handle that, but all they can do is sit there and complain about everything. Stuff happens sometimes that we can't really prevent from happenning. It's not from poor administration, or organization or anything like that, it's caused by something that we can't control. Like those darn demon posessed computers and printers. ID cards are from the devil. It's ok, my brother was there to make me laugh for the most part. I should apologize for embarassing him a little bit, but eh...what else are sister for??

I'm tired...and school hasn't even started yet. someone needs to save me...I can't wait until friday...then again I wish I could stop time.

Late nights and early mornings...

I'm wearing myself out again. I need to take care of myself better. I spent the last few days staying up late and getting up early. Yesterday was probably the worst, because i stayed up until 2 in the morning talking on the phone. Shame on me. tsk tsk tsk Tomorrow is the last day of US History 102!! score! After that I'm home free...sort of. I have more summer assignments now, and more work ahead of me with the school year starting. I have no "easy AP's I don't think. well I heard AP Gov isn't too bad, but when it's me...you never know. Link Crew training has been really fun these past two days. It's not really the event or the training itself, it's more the people. I love having good clean fun. And yes...I am a mango. I learned lotsa stuff about people, like that Sammy and Fernanda can't breathe outta their noses. haha. I like seeing the energy all these people have, and then feeding off of that. I just hope that tomorrow I'll be able to get my group to be really close and have a good time. I think that the turn out for frosh orientation will be really good this year! woot! my bro is gonna be there too. And so the torture begins...mwahaha. Jk. I love my brother to death, and anyone who messes with him will have to deal with me. I finally got him to cut his hair...it was gross...I think he wanted it to be a mullet or something. The trombones would love that. Well it's time for familee dinnar. My mommy's home tonight!! Good old fashioned home cookin'...it doesn't get any better than that. no siree.

Vote for Me!

I'm running for governor of California. My platform is uh...well I don't have one, but I have $3500 and enough supporters to run. I just want to make the recall election look even more like a freak show. If anyone ever asked why we ended up with Bush as our president, just look at the ridiculous looking people who are running for California Governor. It's no wonder that leadership and this government are really falling apart. In fact...I have no idea what I'm talking about. I just think it's funny that there are so many people running, and that half...or more than half of them don't really qualify to run our state. It's really not as easy as it looks. The only problem with democracy is the ignorance and the short attention span of the people in the country. I despise politics. Oh and today...I got a penny for my thoughts. Courtesy of little "Birl" Cacho with the water guns. All I have to say to that is...Guava Fat.

Sin City

I went to Las Vegas over the weekend, and no, I didn't gamble. hehe. I really don't like gambling. Instead I played a little air hockey, and bust-a-move. It was a really fun trip, I had lotsa fun with my family. We didn't really do anything that special, but I had a good time. I got stuffed lotsa times....all you can eat buffets!!! I got home really late hoping that it'd be cooler in San Diego than it was in Vegas...but nooooo. It was soooo hot here. Gross! I went to go help out at registration today at 7 30 am, and didn't get home until about 3:00. I got home sat on the couch, and fell asleep. My advice to people out there...don't have a contest to see who can stick their arm in a cooler of ice and water for the longest time. The result: pain and a really red arm. It was really funny, because I saw a person that I hadn't talked to in a while...since she and I didnt really get along at the end of my sophomore year. In the hallways, she always tries to look away from me, and so I figured that I would stop saying Hi to her. Today I wanted to say Hi...I mean it's our senior year...so I smiled at her when i passed by her in the hallways and yeah...cold shoulder. I thought I'd be sad or whatever, but it was kind of funny. Why are you wasting energy staying mad? I'm not asking her to be my friend, but i don't know why people can't just let things go...breathe child...breathe. It's really not that hard. Oh wells..I'm outta here in no time!

Reunited and it feels so good

That song has been stuck in my head forever. The only problem is I only know that line, so it's like a broken record playing in my head over and over again. Curse you Joel! I can't believe you got that song stuck in my head. haha. The beach was fun today, except when we lost the boys. And except for the green/yellow algae stuff that make the waves looks really....gross. That's why we tried to kinda stay away from all that stuff out there. Ok I'm tired from a long day. Class tonight was just like any other, cept we talked about the Civil Rights movement and I found out that Martin Luther King Jr. was a womanizer. Talk about unexpected. We always romanticize everything, and then we realize in the end that these people who make such wonderful contributions were still human. Although we still try to make them out to be saints. What ever happenned to keeping things realistic.

Tea Party!

I had a tea party with Angela yesterday. It was so fun. We went to go get her pictures, and then we went to her cousin's house. Jasmine tea and shortbread cookies. It was so fun, but the baby, Chris Brian, couldn't get enough cake...it was sooo cute. But he ate while sitting on my lap, so he got cake all over my lap. haha. Then today, I went to the Senior Class Council meeting and then to the Cacho residence to go see Maya and watch a movie. Apparently I'm being taken away from Joel by Ariana....she's "stealing" me. I got my sunglasses back!!! In case you have forgotten, or i didn't tell you, I left my sunglasses in Lisa Cacho's [Joel's oldest sister] car when we were in San Fran with orchestra. They were mailed in a little while ago. hurrah! sunglasses that fit me! Perfect for the beach tomorrow! I'm a regular beach bum, even though I'm peeling like a banana. Right now, I'm watching Pop Icons or something or other on VH1. I think that they rate these people really randomly. What kind of criteria are they using? I mean Howard Stern ranked ahead of Bob Dylan? uh...what? So ugly butt cheeks are worth more than quality music...yeah....that makes sense. What is the world coming to?

Expect the Unexpected

I did another interview...i figure I don't know how to prepare for these kind of things, so i just wing it most of the time. Funny thing, ASB has taught me a lot of useful stuff. Unexpected i know...but then again that's like. "Pray for the best. Prepare for the worst. Expect the unexpected" haha From the " i'm with Busey" show. Weird. The dude asked me to describe myself....how do you do that? I should have come up with something flowery....i'm like a ...uh...a watermelon. Hard on the outside, but soft sweet and mushy on the inside. but according to Nam I'm a skunk....cute and nice looking, but if you rub me the wrong way...watch out! haha.

Surfin USA

Wow these past few days have been really fantabulous! After my interview with Oscars...they called me back!!...for another interview. Then i went to see American Wedding. It was funny. Always that inappropriately funny stuff, but still funny. I had a good time....yepperz. I've never seen the first two movies, so i wasn't sure what to expect. Saturday was long. I woke up to play lacrosse at 10:30 am, and then we went to the beach! Zee beach eez lots ob fun! Later I went to go running. I did a few laps and then I stopped. In case you didn't know, sometimes i can be stubborn. After I stopped, my brother was like..."that's it? that's all you can do?" Keep in mind that I had a whole day of lacrosse and the beach. So i got kinda mad, and went for another few laps, during which the whole time, my brother was like "kim...are you mad at me?" Oh yeah. He got the silent treatment...hardcore. Then this morning...I got invited to go to the beach with Angela. So after mopping the kitchen floor, I took off to the beach with the Hua's and that stinky kid named Alan. [aka...mr. Deguzman aka...LOSER!] I learned how to surf, after falling a million times, and cutting myself on the forehead. It's a dangerous sport!. haha not really, just for me...the uncoordinated one. I got it eventually. If at first you don't succeed...try try again. That means that Kim wiped out tons of times. Yay! Atleast I can boogie board. Although there were these tiny kids who were whooping my butt. I got home and was told that I was a beach bum, then my mom asked me again if I was turning filipino. I'm just a lil darker than before. That's all. Sheesh. I'm gonna get DISOWNED!! hehe. I heart Angela and her family. I especially like the fact that she has so many cousins that I have trouble keeping track of their names, but that doesn't mean that I don't love them. K I'm tired. I'm gonna go to bed early, and have sweet dreams about the ocean and the beach, and the nice house that i'm gonna have one day on the beach. It's gonna happen...just you wait and see.

Long time no see

I've had a hectic few days. That's why I haven't posted in what feels like years. More like 3 days of late night writing. So here's what happenned. I stayed up writing my paper on wednesday night and thursday afternoon. Once i got to class I realized that there was a geography test, so i crammed in a matter of seconds and took the test. I think I aced it. After coming home from another class of "riveting lectures", I start doing my articles around 9pm and stay up until 1 30 am. I know it's not that late, but for me...that's really late. I'm the early sleeper early riser kinda kid. So i wake up at 7 30 to get it all done, and I do. I know i shouldn't have procrastinated, it's all my own fault. But it's done now!! Woop dee doo! All i have now is my interview with Oscars. This whole job process is taking me forever and a day. I just want money! Don't you people understand!? *sigh* Now that summer assignements are basically done, I can have more time and fun! Ah..life is good again...although i have to admit that it always has been good. It's just sometimes the good stuff was hidden under the mess of stress and bad chaotic things.
