Two New Printers?! WAHHH!!!
Start: 3:29 PM CST
Hey guys! I'm sorry I haven't posted!!! It's been really busy lately, and I don't know what I've been up to... Life's confusing, neh? I'm gonna make this short as possible! *smiles* I know you guys like that.
Tuesday
Ugh, I can't even remember when I woke up... But yeah... My mom went to Sam's Club around 1-2 PM? She called me on the phone to call and ask if she could buy a fax machine. I kept screaming, "WE ALREADY HAVE A FAX!!!" But yeah...around...5-6 PM, when she came home, she came home with a fax machine! (It was also a printer/copy machine too.) WAHHH!!!
You know guys KNOW I'm a technophobe. YES! Even though I know how to use a computer, I am STILL a technophobe. (A technophobe is a person afraid of technology.) Yes, laugh at me! I don't care!
Other than that, on my time, I played Gunbound mostly all my time. Oh yeah! I also forgot my sister owed me time. GRR.
Oh, my mom bought pizza, so we just put one in the oven and ate it... Yeah.
My brother tried to make sushi... (He always watches me make it and thinks he can make it, but it always turns out HORRIBLY WRONG.) So yeah... He used up all my sushi ingredients!!! OY! (I just took the sushi syrup he made, added more sushi, and put it into rice. Okay.) My mom also fried fish... Okay.
Wednesday/Yesterday
Hmm...can't remember when I woke up. It was...11 AM-noon, I think. Again, I forgot Diana owed me time on the computer! Well, anyways, when I went on, I just spent most of my time on Gaia Online, I think...and a bit of Gunbound. OH! My brother ate a whole pizza by himself!!! (NOO!) So my sister and I made our own pizza. Oh...and I chopped up garlic, onions, and carrots...for I dunno. My sister and my mom went shopping at Wal-Mart. (I found soda and candy! *squeals*) When they came home, my mom bought ANOTHER FAX MACHINE!!! (*cries* I'm still a technophobe!) Then she made me look up online which fax was better... Both of them were a 2 out of 10, mostly. (That's what you get for buying a cheap fax, ya know.)
So I had to get off the computer at 6 PM (my mom made me spent all my time comparing prices of faxes!!!), and I went downstairs...fried ham. (Dunno why, but I was screaming, "YES I'VE GONE CRAZY!!!" while I was frying it.) It turned into bacon.
We got bored of that, eh. I watched "So You Think You Can Dance". Yup. Uhh...I went to my room to listen to the radio and my sister came in and used my bathroom to brush her teeth and stuff. (She HAS her own bathroom!) Well, I started trying on clothes for fun. She said my amber-gradient sunglasses make me look "retro". Really? (She said it made me look like my dad. *screams loudly*) And...red shirt, with black jeans. Yup. Nice, eh? XP
Umm...then I went to go play in my sister's room. SHE KEEPS ALL THE CANDY SHE GETS IN HER DRAWER!!! (She said she would give me ONE SMALL BAG of candy if I didn't owe her two hours of computer time. Horrible trade, but yes, I did it.)
Uhh...can't remember the rest... I watched T.V. with my sister. Hehe, "Good Eats" is a funny cooking show. (We were watching the secrets behind the show, and the "Kamikaze Flower" just made us burst out laughing!!! XP)
Umm...we all went downstairs to eat, then pray, then I washed the dishes, then I bathed, and I went to sleep...around 1 AM. (Then I woke up at 5:37 AM in the morning to go downstairs, get a glass of juice, and I headed back to bed, and didn't wake up until...10 AM the next day.)
Today/Thursday
Yup, I woke up around...10 PM, I think. I BEGGED my sister to give me my time back!!! (I traded my computer time with her for a piece of candy... How lame is that?) So yeah...I didn't get to go on...until noon.
Well, I've been here...on Gaia...and stuff. And yeah...
Um...Vicky's going to Otakon tomorrow! Yay! I wish I could come though...
I need to finish my character drawings, my dojinshi, and the manga I'm submitting to Tokyopop. Doesn't sound like hard work, right? Well, I procrasinate.
And I need to make a new theme for MyOtaku and my "official" site. (It's where I keep all my mangas.)
So much work. Confused...
Bye!

Sunday! I Saw Anne Again!
Start: 5:42 PM CST
Hi hi! I'll try to make it short.
Sunday
Well, my dad tried waking me up around 9 AM? I actually got up around 10 AM because I was way too sleepy... I went downstairs to eat cereal, but guess what? I only had five more minutes to eat! (In Catholic religion, you can't eat an hour before church starts.) And I kinda managed to finish it... ^^;; Actually, I was 2 minutes overboard. -_-;;
So I changed for church and we all went. I think I started breaking out a bit (just a bit) in church... And I felt hot...and sniffly. (Bit of a runny nose...)
Well, after church, I walked out and just looked around, and I saw Anne! She came to me and we said "hi"!!! I hadn't seen her in a month...month and a half? She says her family goes to church at 7-8 AM now... So that's why I don't see them anymore... ^^;; (We go at 11 AM, ya see.) So we just talked... She's taking SAT classes to help with her SATs... Except Ricky was right there, staring at Anne... He kept peering over by bending left or right... UGH. (She had dry skin around her eyes and he kept staring at her. Sometimes that happens to my eyes too. And that's RUDE to stare!!!) We walked to the food area where we looked at the workers sell food. Then my parents spotted me and I had to leave.
So we stopped by my parent's friend's house. We stayed a bit, but their house smelled so much like medicine! My parents kept talking about us and how we didn't know Vietnamese (I can understand you!!!) and all that stuff. Basically, Diana and I (Ricky kept following us) were walking around the neighborhood. After a bit, we left. And they gave us Vietnamese crackers. Eh.
Um, I went on the computer around 2:30 PM? A bit later, around 6-7 PM, my parents went over to our neighbor's house for a nhau, I think... So Diana and I had some Chinese-styled roasted pork. Yum. (Except the skin was a bit leathery/crunchy. OW.) We just watched T.V. UGH. We were watching "Frankenstein Reborn" and it was rated PG-14. Except there was blood and gore in EVERY PART OF THE MOVIE. (If there's blood and gore, shouldn't it be in R????)
Well, my parents came home around 9-10 PM (they walked of course!), and I went upstairs to the video game area!!! GUESS WHAT?! My video games were covered with a sticky stuff!
...My parent's friends came over yesterday and had a nhau!!! They probably brought up food and they accidentally dropped some che on the video games! I started screaming at my mom, and she stood up for them, saying it was my fault for leaving them there! (But my mom NEVER comes up to that room!!! Besides, it's the VIDEO GAME ROOM! OF COURSE MY VIDEO GAMES ARE GONNA BE THERE!)
I got angry... My "Harvest Moon: Magical Melody" game is ruined... Actually, the sugar water seeped through the paper... I was able to clean off the others, but I'm sad that some of the game covers are ruined. (I'm a perfectionist, I have to have everything PERFECT!!!)
So I spent the rest of the night (stayed up to midnight!) cleaning up all that sticky stuff (it was sugar water--you know when you boil sugar in water, it becomes a sap/syrup? Yup.) from the carpets and the game. GAH, it was covered EVERYWHERE!!!
My mom did this, and she didn't even bother to clean it. EVIL!!!
So I took a bath for an hour (dunno why), and went to sleep after. (It was 1 AM--something.)
Today/Monday
I woke up at 1-something PM! YES! AFTERNOON! My parents weren't home... I told my sister to get off (because she owed me time!), but she didn't get off until 2 PM.
And I've been here ever since.
I finally got to talk to Trangie after a long time!
And I've talked to Danny! I haven't talked to him since the end of school! (Which was two months ago?) He's been having fun, going boy/girl scout camping, having road trips to California with his scout troop, etc. But he's turned into an emo and cut himself. (He says he has problems, but I told him that if he had problems, cutting himself wouldn't work--advice would though.)
Oy...
Well, gotta go! Today's the deadline for "Art of Otaku"!!! DAMMIT!!! ARGH! Gotta finish it!!! BYE!

A While Since I Posted...
Start: 11:11 PM CST
Hey guys! Yeah, it's late Saturday night, and I'm posting! I'm sorry I haven't posted the past few days! First of all, I've been addicted to Gunbound and MapleStory, and second of all, I really don't feel like getting on MyOtaku. It's kinda lost its touch. I just post to keep a journal of what I do.
Hmm...I haven't posted since...Wednesday! o_O!
Wednesday
Well, my mom got this coupon that gives her $10 off for every $50 she spends, and plus, she had an extra $40 in her account that expired soon. So we went to Kohl's around 1-2 PM. (It was pretty rainy, so we took umbrellas... I found my old umbrella from two years ago! ...It's still fabric-torn... -_-;;) Hmm, my mom wanted me to buy clothes, but I couldn't think of anything to buy. So my mom headed to cookware.
We went to the front (because my mom needed someone who worked there), and we came back.
My mom talked with the person who worked there to help her pick out a pots and pans set, while I was walking around, singing Sukiyaki... ^^;;
My mom bought the set, and we headed to Wal-Mart. We bought some food, but I was upset at my mom... (There are times when she annoys me... -_-;;)
Oh! When we were heading home, my mom took the wrong turn home! She FORGOT WHERE SHE WAS GOING! SHE FORGOT WHERE SHE LIVED!!! SHE FORGOT MY NAME!!! (I'm kidding about the "where she lived" and "forgot my name" part, but I yelled those EXACT things out when I was riding with her.)
Me: You're becoming crazy mommy...
Mom: Uh-huh...
Me: You're becoming crazy mommy...
Mom: How dare you call me crazy!
Me: You just agreed with me!!!
And since I gave Ricky my time to go on the computer, I went on late at night.
Thursday
As if I could remember what I did... Just playing Gunbound...
Oh yeah! I baked two chocolate cakes in the morning! Around...11 AM. (I finished it before evening though. o_O;;)
OH!!! On Thursday, we watched "So You Think You Can Dance"... We missed Wednesday's because I had to go on the computer late!!! WAH!!!
Oh, and I'm starting to enjoy canh chua, a Vietnamese soup with tomatoes, pineapples, dates, ong choy, and rice... Yum...but SO ACIDIC!
Friday/Yesterday
Well, I baked brownies!!! YAY! BROWNIES! (Around 10-11 AM, of course.) But...my brownies were all gone before nighttime!!! (I ate most of them all. XP)
My dad planned to come home yesterday, but he came home on Friday, around 9:30 PM! He called me to help him get an icebox out from his truck and carry it inside. (All I could do was get it off the truck. XP) Oh! We saw a couple taking a walk at night! (They were looking at us... XP)
Well, it was a nice night, so I changed into a T-shirt and jeans, took my jump rope, and took a walk to the playground by my house. (Which is about...2-3 blocks?) Now, you have to think. Walking around in a neighborhood, one with hardly ANY street lights... That must be dangerous, eh? Actually, NO! It was quiet, but so beautiful! There were only sections of the neighborhood covered with streetlights, like my subdivision. But when you got away from the lights, you could see the stars SOO WELL! The sky was so pretty... It wasn't as clear as I wanted it, but so nice...
The weird feeling was...when cars were passing me, they sped up... o_O;; What the...??? I'm not gonna jump out and kill you! (WEIRDOS!)
I went to the playground and started swinging. Then I swung backwards to see the stars more clearly. (When I was backwards, you could see the stars more easily.)
I just started to think about the past times in my life... Like, a few years ago, when my grandpa passed away, I went to California and we hung out in a park until 2 in the morning... Hehe... I just started to try to tell the constellations from each other. (I could only recognize the Big Dipper and Cygnus... ^^;;)
I saw that same couple that walked past my house a while ago! Apparently, they live in the neighborhood with the playground. Oh yeah...cars DID keep speeding up when they saw me, or people were thinking it was weird.
Well, what WOULD people think seeing a kid swinging in the playground at...10 PM at night? By himself? In the dark? No streetlights?
Well, I started to head back, and took my jump rope and tried to jump rope home, but I gave up after a bit.
I reached my subdivision and decided to circle around the area. I saw Charlie's (I think it was her house) parents driving into their driveway, but they drove into the garage when they saw sight of me... o_O;; (Weird thing is, they leave their car out in the driveway, not in the garage.)
-_-;; What do people think when they see people at night...?
Oh, and I saw the neighbors at the house northwest of our house! They were coming into our house...
I came in, had that canh chua soup and Vietnamese kimchi with my family for dinner and my mom started talking about my Auntie Phoenix (we'll call her that, since her name translates to that) and how she's all...etc. Actually, she was talking about how one of my dad's relatives said this when my mom called to just chat.
*Mom calls Friend's house*
(Now, this is the fourth time she had called.)
Friend: *picks up* I know you've called me three times earlier, but I didn't want to pick it up because it was you.
What kind of person says that?!
Well, I wanted to call Auntie Phoenix just to check on how she was doing. (I hadn't talked to her in FOREVER!!!) So I called her (after I got the cordless phone and my mom gave me the phone number) and I found out she was at work. I told her hello and asked how she was.
But there was something she said that hurt me...
The way she had said it.
Auntie: Why have you called me...? Did you call me just to see if I was dead?! HUH?!
(Maybe it was sarcasm, I don't know, but the WAY she said it sounded really mean.)
I just kept pretending I didn't understand her (to see if I heard wrong) and asking her to repeat it. Well, I asked how Christina was, and Auntie gave me her cell number. I called Christina, and we had the nicest chat. She's kind of hard to talk to, but it was so nice hearing from her.
After that, I told her I would talk to her on MSN, and I went on the computer. Diana e-mailed her friends and both of us chatted with one another. After that, I went to go play Gunbound.
I didn't go to sleep until 4 AM in the morning... XP
Today/Saturday
ARGH...I was SOO sleepy! I woke up at NOON! I had a breakfast (although it was noon by then) of cereal and went to talk to Diana, who was on the computer. My dad was cutting the grass.
My brother asked yesterday if he could have my time. (He wanted to watch Toonami today, since he hadn't seen it in forever.) So I agreed.
Ricky got on at 1 PM, but had to quit a bit to help our dad cut the grass. Then he came back on.
OH, I WAS SO BORED! I played Kingdom Hearts, then tried eating, but Diana and I were so bored, we fell asleep. I don't know when, but I came into Diana's room and we just played with stuffed animals, listened to the radio, and hid in the closet. (My parents had a person for company right now.)
So yeah...more and more people came, and it somehow became a nhau. Diana and I didn't go down. (My sister hates when our parents have nhau in the house, because she doesn't like to talk to people.) So yeah... I just...watched T.V., or watched Ricky play. But later, my mom and two of her friends came upstairs to watch some video tape.
Um...6 PM came, and I got on! Diana hung out with me and we played Gunbound together! I got some egg rolls (yucca root, carrots, and ground pork!) and ate it with fish sauce and Vietnamese kimchi. Then we played MapleStory. After that, all of the people left...around 7-9 PM??? Diana went down FINALLY. The egg rolls were all gone. XP (But there was che!)
Yeah, then I went back on...and I went on Gaia for a while... (ShadowHimaru13 was on, but I didn't talk to her. XP I was chatting with Alaina, and her moving wolf AIM background and wolf head made my computer lag a bit...)
Well...I think I'm gonna sleep...or play more Gunbound! Bye!
Only 3 more weeks until school starts. NOO!!!
Also...I need to finish that "Art of Otaku" fan art!!! ARGH! OH! And yukina123's birthday drawing!!! (Man, I haven't gotten ANYTHING done lately!)
Bye!

Sleepy... Cooky... Potatoes!
Start: 5:45 PM CST
Oy... So pained. Tired.
Yesterday/Monday
Well, my sister and I woke me up around 6-9 AM, telling me that my mom would be at the hospital and that I would have to cook, but I didn't get out of bed until 10 AM. So I started cooking potatoes. (I even experimented on them!) I also made spaghetti. Ahh...I ate ALMOST all the potatoes by myself...and I gave the rest to my brother and sister. XP
I got on the computer around 1 PM, and my mom came home... I was on Gunbound for the rest of that time...
Hehe, in one game, this guy said this to another guy about me: "She's hot."
Me: Umm...I'm a guy...
Person: Shhhiiiiiiiittttttttt........
Weird. XP
Today/Tuesday
Umm...I think I woke up around...10 AM today? I went to go take a shower, and after that, I went to cooking. Potatoes...what will I do with them? (Yes, I spent the morning chopping up potatoes.) I got on the computer around after 1 PM. Ian talked to me! He thinks Diana has been liking another guy more... Sigh. Poor him. I explained to him that it wasn't true. XP I told him about his eggplant children, and as a joke, I told him I loved him. XP (He told me he loved me as a brother. XP) Well, it's still hot over there for him. He's experiencing our 90 degrees (in his country, they use Celsius) and he finds that HOT! o_O!!!
I talked with the MyOtaku group (FINALLY!) for a bit, and I've been on Gunbound since!
But before I could play one game, my mom called for me, and asked me to try to explain this thing for her. (I dunno, some discount for a store, which I tried to explain over and over.) She called me "stupid" OVER AND OVER, even though I told her the correct things! OY.
I came back into a Gunbound room saying, "I'm sad." (Of course I would be sad. I was yelled at over and over...) The guy in the room called me "emo". (I am not emo!) Then I started to get sick... (Runny nose?) So I typed "sniffs". He thought I was crying. Then he kicked me out of the room, after calling me "stupid emo". (Um, I'm not an emo... o_O;;)
I also met a lot of white supremists/Neo-Nazis... Gah, Gunbound is ridden with mean, racist people.
This bothers me too: LoLz LyK dIz IsH sOO kOoLz LolZ
...WEIRD.
ARGH! Summer's over in 4-5 more weeks! I haven't gotten to do all the things I wanted to do!!!
Courtney's been in camp. She came back last week, and she met a TON of famous people and people from all over the world! (Not exactly a camp, but more of a "extended conference"...)
Well, I'll see you guys later! Bye!

Pizza... Sleepiness... Ian Penguin Love...
Start: 4:35 PM CST
SLEEPY!
Friday (After Posting)
Well... I watched "Read It and Weep". I only watched half of it. I never get to watch these movies wholely... It's like I flip on the channel, and the movie's halfway done... ^^;;
Well...at night, Diana came to my room, and we listened to the radio for a while, and then she went into her room and listened to the radio. I think we played more stuffed animal roleplay!
Yesterday/Saturday
I woke up around...past 11 AM and Diana was on the computer. I went on the computer at 2 PM, and I played Gunbound ALL DAY long... Gosh, I lost track of time! But it started raining PRETTY bad around 5 PM, so I got off, ate some chicken soup, and then I begged my sister for cereal. (Her cereal--she won't share it with me.)
So when the rain stopped (it came back again though), my sister went on the computer to check her mail...
So after that, Diana went into her room to listen to the radio... I went into her room and we listened to the radio, and played stuffed animal roleplay! (It's getting more intense and more fun!) Haha, Alaina and Karen (stuffed animal version) are best friends now. Ian's gay (how'd that happen?!) now, and Diana's still hating Ian (real one and stuffed one)...
Today/Sunday
Welll, I woke up at 10 AM. My mom said we were late for church, so everyone had to get ready early. (I had to iron my clothes, so that took longer... -_-;;) Ricky carried all the water bottles into the car, and we drove off.
Again, Diana and I sat with each other, but apart from Ricky and mom. I heard some people talking about me and Diana behind me. o_O;; It was distracting from praying at first.
After church was over, Diana said she saw a reporter from Yellow magazine! (Yellow Magazine is a pretty famous Asian magazine around here.) We were surprised he was there. I hadn't seen him there before... Maybe he's always here??? Or maybe he's researching something. Eh. (He had his kids with him, so I bet he just goes to this church regularly. Eh. You'd think you'd spot a famous person like this. *snaps* But you don't. o_O;; Not in "regular" places you usually go to.)
Well, my mom wanted me to bring an icebox to our van. My mom gave this girl's (about her early 20s?) parents (probably) some fish and seafood, and they were returning the icebox. So I walked to the van, opened it, and put it in the back seats. (Ricky followed me...)
Umm...I walked back, and saw Diana. She trudged me to the principal's office and we saw our mom filling out papers. She said she'll turn them in next week. (She didn't finish filling them up.)
So we walked back, and we spotted Andy! (I was suprised my mom knew his name! But then again, they worked together at the Chinese New Year festival.) Well, we talked for a bit. I asked if he knew what happened to Diana, Anne, and Dalena. Well, guess what? He doesn't know who they are... o_O;; (But I'm always with him, and I'm always with Dalena and Diana! Well...not true. XP But ya know.)
So we headed off and refilled our water. It got pretty messy for a while. My mom just sat there and ordered us around while we filled 50-something gallons of water... It was hard, and we had to carry them by ourselves. (The guy who worked there helped me a bit.) And then there was that time where a van was parked on a handicap ramp, so I couldn't go through there. (Isn't that illegal?)
Well, after that, we headed to Cici's Pizza. My mom wanted to order her own pizza, but the person who worked there couldn't understand a word she said. (Later, my mom said that girl was deaf... -_-;; Maybe my mom's English doesn't sound CORRECT?!) Diana and I moved to a different table from our mom and brother. We wanted just to talk to ourselves. My mom and brother moved with us though. My mom didn't like where she was sitting because she said there were loud "Mexican" people next to her. Yeah, they were loud. (But you shouldn't say "Mexican". You don't even know if they're "Mexican", so just say "Hispanic" or "Latino".)
So Diana, Ricky, and I talked... My mom kept telling us to be quiet. (So we can't talk?!) Ugh...it's hard to have fun with my mom around. She's so negative, talking about death. I DON'T LIKE NEGATIVITY, especially when SHE does it!
Ugh. So we left. I was telling my sister about how this race car driver always drives 120 miles an hour, but with his kids, he only drives 20 miles an hour, so slow that even old people pass him... ^^;; (I saw it on a commercial before we left.)
So at home, we packed in all our water bottles, and we rested. I slept in Diana's room for a few seconds... XP Then I asked my mom for the keys to the computer room, and she gave them to me. She said I had to cut my nails to get them though. o_O;; (We made a deal, and I could go on the computer, cut them, and go downstairs and show her that I cut them.)
Weird...cutting nails to get on a computer. ^^;;
Well, I'm gonna head to Gunbound. See ya laters!

I'm Depressed... Not SUICIDAL Depressed, But More of a Calm, Yet Sad, Depressed...
Start: 5:22 PM CST
Hey guys... I don't know why, but I'm kinda depressed today. I'm not the kind of "I hate life, I want to suicide" depressed, but more of a calm, yet sad, depressed... (I know it might not make sense, but that's how I feel.)
Wednesday (After Posting)
Well, we were getting ready to see "So You Think You Can Dance". (My sister got me ADDICTED to the show!) I was on the T.V., UNTIL my mom said to go put the mail into the mailbox. (You have to understand my mailbox is about a block away from me.) So quickly as I could run, I ran down the block as I could and headed back. (I found out we have new neighbors! The two I saw were of African descent, and they were both guys. I'd say mid-20s. They seemed to be living with each other... Brothers, I guess?)
So I headed back and screamed for my sister to come down. She did come down, and when we started to watch the show, my mom came walking through the living room holding a weed whacker to go finish cutting the grass. (She gave Diana and me chores to go sweeping... @_@)
So over and over while watching the show (it was a 2-hour special), we were given chores of sweeping the whole house, or watering the grass (while she was CUTTING the grass?!), boiling water to kill ants, and so forth...
ARGH, we hardly got a chance to watch the show!!! WAH... Well, not HARDLY, but we did miss some parts.
Well, at night, I went to my sister's room, and we just...talked. About life, about what affects us. (Like racism, life problems, love, why gay people are hated so much, etc.) It was a nice chat, but I went to sleep a while after that.
Yesterday/Thursday
I woke up...around...10-11 AM and my mom wanted me to print my school ID tags to go to the school and register. (Wait...since these were our last year tags, would we need them?) Oh well... Around 2 PM, my mom and I headed out to Mission Bend Middle School. (Um, we're not attending it, but my mom needed register for something there...) I saw Kather, and Lan (Lynn's friend!), and later, when we came in, I saw Kathy's mom and sister! (I didn't say hi though. I had to sit with my mom and fill papers... Ugh.) So we got in line to fill to turn in our papers. My mom had a nice chat with the Vietnamese lady in front of us. (Although she did say the lady's children--which all were 3rd grade and below--were more smarter than her children--we're all high school and middle school.) Ya know, she even says to people she doesn't know that her own children are stupid... (It's kinda sad, don'tcha think?) Well, the lady's kids were running around the cafeteria (where we were right now) and chasing each other and playing games. (What's that stick game called? Don't remember... But you hit each other... ^^;;)
So after that, I saw Amy (from Science last year!) sitting by the table and I sat down with her. Basically, she's been staying at home. I replied, "Yeah, like the regular kids. Staying home, sleeping, eating, watching T.V." She laughed and said it was true. So I just sat there while she was putting some keys back in a key chain thing. (She messed it up? And the boy whose keys belonged to told his mom. She says he's a tattletale. ^^;;)
So after that, I went home. (Oh, before I left, I saw Maggie!)
Umm...what did I do afterwards? I got on the computer...and did...something. I got TOO obsessed with playing Gunbound that I forgot to post, and my time was over like this. *snaps*
Well, my mom had a friend over! My sister got scared and pushed on her door so it would be "locked". (Besides my parents' room and the bathrooms, no room in the house has a lock. Sucks, eh?) Well, I got in, and she told me to bolt the door shut by holding back the door with our bodies... XP
Well, my mom did try to come in once, and so they wouldn't hear me breathing, I put one of my sister's bath towels to my mouth and breathed... o_O;; ^^;; (She's not using it anymore. ^^;;)
Well, we played with our stuffed animals! Haha, it was so fun. We were pretending it was my sister's friends and me. Umm...Kevin (koala), Karen (Hello Kitty), Ian (Batzmaru/penguin), Diana(pig, then kangaroo), me (white bear), and Alaina (striped mini-tabby cat)! Umm...lots of cannibalism, gay marriage, and murdering in this game... (Funny, but weird. XP)
There were times my sister took her flowers (that boys gave to her on Valentine's) and BEAT me with them. Luckily, I ran out... ^^;; (She tried this two times... XP)
We went downstairs to watch the results of "So You Think You Can Dance", but we were an hour early. So I started to make sushi. My mom and her friends were upstairs watching some tape her friend brought.
So, FINALLY, the show started (and her friend left a little bit before), and we watched the results. I was also making and eating sushi while watching... XP (Ham sushi? So-so.)
But what threw Diana and me off was that Dmitry was voted OFF the show!!! Oh my gosh! Diana was so unhappy! (She's a Dmitry fan, if you don't know.) And she says the announcer, Cat, gulped and stared at the paper when she read the results. (Even people screamed for it!) We also realized Martha was left alone (while Dmitry was dancing) by herself while everyone went to hug Dmitry. How sad...
Well, I went to go take a bath, and went into my sister's room and talked for a bit. I forgot what happened next... o_O;; I think my sister kicked me out of her room. XP I played with the same stuffed animals before that though. XP
Today
Umm...I woke up...at 11 AM, and my mom wanted me to check something about her cable bill. I thought she wanted me to make an account so she could pay her bill online! But no, she didn't ask that. (She needs to say things more clearly. -_-;;)
Umm...Diana got on the computer for half an hour to e-mail her friends and then I went on for the rest of the time to play Gunbound. Then Diana got on around 4 PM (?) and I came back around 5 PM. And so...I was posting, and oh! Before, I had to send an e-mail to my cousin for my mom, and when she replied, she sounded a bit mean. (The way she worded it... *sniffles*)
Well, gotta go soon! Bye!

A Day Full of High Sugar Rush and Gunbound!
Start: 5:52 PM CST
Well, I'm tired right now... *yawns*
Yesterday (After Posting)
Well, my sister came home and I was playing Gunbound. I kept playing on for a while until I let my sister play. I help put up the groceries, and my mom left to go...somewhere. (Somehow, they bought double of everything... XP)
Well, I played Gunbound and stopped at 6 PM to let my brother on the computer.
Late around night, around 8-9 PM, my sister came in. ARGH, my room was a mess! I was categorizing my drawings, and I sorted them in stacks all over my room. So basically, she looked around all of them, and I finished sorting.
Then I pulled out my schoolwork from one of my drawers. OH MY GOSH! A WHOLE STACK of it weighed AT LEAST 5 pounds! (And this wasn't the whole year!) I swear, schools need to switch to something more eco-friendly...like computers! (That run on solar energy! XP)
Ya know, I bet I can heat ten baths with the stack of paper I was holding... (I was thinking of Memoirs of a Geisha, in one part of the book, where they got so poor, they had to heat their baths with newspapers instead of wood.)
Yeah, can't remember when I headed to bed. It was around...11 PM? I was watching Inuyasha, and my brother came in, so I just left.
Today
I woke up around...10-11 AM and saw my sister playing on the computer. Gunbound, I think it was.
So yeah... I just went around the house basically around this time, eating, watching Diana play, doing some paperwork for my mom... Just tired and bored. I ate a bunch of breakfast junk food and some of my sister's candy and Hot Cheetos, so I was pretty hyper during that morning. Jumping around, running pretty fast, and so forths...
OH YEAH! When I came upstairs, eating, I saw two guys (black, pretty young--high school?, in suits) in front of my door, looking at the opening of my garage, and walking on the grass. ^^;; But hmm, what were they here for? (Probably salesman? I hate that. XP But around here, they don't do salesman thingys. They just hang a little card on your door and when you check your front door--which is almost never--you find their card.)
Oh yeah! I realized where my mom and brother had gone! I broke his retainer on...Saturday, I think, and they went back to the orthodontist to get it replaced.
Umm...I got on around 1 PM, after my sister tried helping her friend, Karen, get her MapleStory account back. (One of Karen's friends, who she had trusted, had yelled aloud her ID, password, and pin number out loud in the game! o_O!)
So when I got on, I got on the computer and started playing Gunbound the whole day... The whole day was nice, talking to people. Some rooms were fun to be in, some being just a drag...
I went to go eat fried rice later, and let my sister play on my account for a bit.
Also, I had to copy some paperwork for my mom... -_-;;
By this time, I got pretty sleepy. Eating sugar, then sitting down on the computer all day? You tend to get all sleepy... Yups.
Oh! In one room, there was a girl who had trouble with the way I was typing. (I was typing properly, like this.) And she said, "Gosh, no one's monitoring your English!" (She didn't type it like that, but that's what she meant.) And I replied, "No offense, but I don't like chatspeak. I mean, who talks like this? lolz diz ish soo koolz lolz" She replied, "every1". (Um, I don't care, I think chatspeak is lame...)
Then she said stuff like, "You're a nerd, aren't you?" I replied, "Yeah... I'm a nerd. I don't have a social life and I'm afraid to talk to girls." (Of course I was being sarcastic!) She said, "But you're talking to me..."
Then after that, she said, "Speak American." What...? I replied, "There's no such language as 'American'." (It's called ENGLISH, or in her case, CHATSPEAK.) She replied, "I mean, ENGLISH SLANG."
Ugh...ignorant people nowadays.
Well, I'm sad. Today, Alex left to go to Virginia and Pennsylvania. She left probably around 5 PM in the morning and left around noon. (Why wake up that early to ride an airplane?! It's not THAT FAR!!!)
She won't be back until the last...two weeks until school begins...
I'll see you later. Bye!
Oh yeah... Enin asks if I'm coming to Toronto soon... Aww, I wish I could, but I can't. Sigh... (Vicky and Shadow are coming soon though!)

Burger King With Alex...and Diana!
Start: 3:05 PM CST
Hey guys! Yup yup, I know I haven't posted, and I should've, ya know? But lately, as I've told you earlier, I only get one hour of computer time. (If I'm lucky, two hours.)
Sunday Night
Argh...in the night, we had to do the whole rosary, but it was SO SLOW because my brother and sister didn't know how to pray it right... Oy.
Yesterday/Monday
Hmm...if only I could remember the finer details of the morning... Right. Forgot what I did in the morning, of course! (ARGH!)
Let's think...oh right! I woke up around 10-11 AM, and my mom had just finished making lunch. Beef with peppers along with rice, of course! So Diana was with me and we ate together with Ricky and mom. I wanted to have a nice conversation with my family today (but my mom always ruins it somehow), and Diana talked about her funny online chats, while I talked about wanting to go see Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest. I don't remember HOW or WHY, but my mom started talking about Saddam Hussein, and how he was this rich, powerful man, but used his power for not good things, and yeah... And something about the army, that they drink their own urine to survive if they have no water. (She's always bringing stuff like this up. First of all, I'm EATING. I don't wanna hear of drinking urine! Second of all, why can't we have a nice chat? Whenever we talk with my mother, she always brings negative things up. I wonder if this is why hardly anyone likes her...) So LONG after I finished my lunch, I cleaned up, but my mom forced Diana and me down into the seats again and continued on with her lecture. (She tells the same lecture a couple times a day, and it usually lasts a 15-45 minutes? I'm not exaggerating here.)
I remembered that we all wanted to get on the computer, but in order for us to get on the computer, we had to pray the "Hail Mary" prayer correctly in Vietnamese three times. Last time, my sister and brother struggled to pray the whole rosary, so yeah... (I said it the most correct, Diana being second, and Ricky, getting a bunch of words mixed up, putting him last.) I thought since I said it the most correctly, I would get to go on the computer first, but no! She made us draw numbers written on sheets of paper and balled up. (What was the point of saying the prayer correctly then? I mean, I'm okay with praying, but what did it have to do with the computer...?) We all grabbed one paper, and I got number 1! Diana got 2, and Ricky got 3. I'd say that was a pretty fair pick. (Since it corresponded with how well we did with our prayers. XP)
So I got on the computer, and talked with Alex! (On Sunday, I had planned that we would go to Burger King together!) I had a confusing chat with Melinda, Nickkie, and Sue. We were gonna go to McDonalds because Nickkie's brother usually passed the street where Burger King was. We wanted her to go, and we even said we'd go to McDonalds instead. But she wouldn't go. Melinda wanted to come, but she needed to go pick up her brother's girlfriend from the airport.
So that left me with Alex...and Diana! (I forgot to mention Diana a TON of times. XP)
So my mom was...at my neighbor's house and I called her to tell her we were going. (It took me a few tries, but she was always busy. She called me back a bit later.) I also tried to call Alex's, but it was also busy... Ugh.
Diana and I set off biking to Alex's house! When we reached the street leading towards the highway, I then realized that one of the hand breaks of the bike was messed up! So I tried to fix it, but it broken even more. (So I had to rely on the left hand brake, even though from force of habit I used the right.) My sister was biking so SLOW. She was leading...for a while. (I had to stop abruptly because she was so slow! It's like a car going...20 miles an hour, and the car in front of it is going...5 miles and hour. When that slow car stops, the car behind it has to stop ABRUPTLY. It makes this screeching sound, and it hurts. -_-;;)
Also, in one corner, we passed by a group of four black kids, and they saw Diana and me biking, and they started saying things like, "Ching chong..." and "Wahh.... Waahh..." ("Wahh..." is a "karate" sound.) Basically, they were making "Chinese" sounds and laughing at us. (Gah, racist people here.)
So we waited by the school, and Alex came soon! YAY! We biked off into the Eaglewood area, going straight, and switching the person who was leader, OVER AND OVER. (Confusing! We had to do that because Diana was so especially slow. XP) Alex kept going on the grass, and I had to stop my bike abruptly because at one point of time, my sister was leading, and she stopped. -_-;;
But we can't blame my sister for being so slow. This is the second time she's biked so far. Alex and I have been doing this every 2 days for the past month now. (Except this was the first time I went biking with Alex for TWO WEEKS! That was the week of July 4th.)
So we took a turn...somewhere and kept heading until we reached Beechnut. The sidewalks on that street were blocked by numerous garbage cans, multi-parking cars in one driving, and sometimes no sidewalk at all!
About this time Alex realized she didn't bring a chain or lock!!! WAH! We were doomed... -_-;;
We took the safe way, turning right after reaching the gas station, and going in swiggles. We stopped by Dollar General, to buy a chain and lock. Unfortunately, they only sold locks. (And what good is a lock if you can't lock something with it?) Diana came in with me, although I told her to stay with Alex. I went and talked with Alex. We talked about our plans to keep safe our bikes, like tying them all together with rope, or asking the people who worked at Burger King REALLY NICELY if we could leave them inside. (Diana was inside buying a fruit drink.) After having a drink, we biked on. We reached a really cool-looking lighted place, like light beaming down and making the light look as if it went through a window blind... (There was also a lot of graffiti, with gangs marking their territories. But what did I know? I saw them, but had no idea what they meant. XP) Alex took pictures of them! (She's an aspiring photographer! She was interested in them, but said she had weird tastes in pictures. XP Also, when we met up at the school, she took pictures of clouds. She took TONS of pictures of the clouds. I have to say, though, summer clouds are so beautiful... Like...a deep blue fading down to a sky blue, and hidden above large white clouds, its pure white color piercing against a deep blue sky... Eh, I'm such a poet. XP)
So we headed over to Burger King. Now this was the HARD part. Where to put our bikes! Some guy left his biked chained to a tree, but what to do with ours? We were gonna ask if we put them in, but everyone was too shy. Alex and Diana did go in, but they didn't ask. We were gonna leave them there too. Then Alex thought of tying the bikes together with the rope from her camera holder. We tied it in TONS of knots, so yeah. XP
We were still afraid that someone could undo them. Oh yeah! A group of three boys (I think one Asian, one Hispanic, and one black) brought their bike with them, but left it by the front door.
I asked the manager of the Burger King if we could put our bikes somewhere, like in the playground area. He said he wished he didn't. (I think he added we could arrested for that?!) But he did say we could leave it by the window and watch it.
So yeah...going back to the bikes. We saw the owner of the bike who had locked it to a tree! It was an employee (Asian, higher high school?), and I was about to ask to borrow his lock, but I changed my mind.
So we went in, happy that we got that over, ordered, and ate.
Ah, that made me SOO happy to get that whole thing over! While I was eating with Diana and Alex, we had such funny little talks. I also learned that Alex and me HATE pickles, but somehow, our brothers like to eat them so much. (Her brother drinks the pickle juice... EWW.)
We just talked about random things. Like this! Alex said that she loved pink SO MUCH when she was little, but hates it now. I said Diana liked pink A TON too! For example, one time when Diana was little, she was sick, and my mom was trying to give her medicine (a green or purple color, can't remember), but Diana said, "No, I want to drink the PINK medicine!" (She was pointing to a bottle of Pepto-Bismol.)
OH MY GOSH. After I told Alex this, we kept laughing on for minutes! She even had to climb to the next booth seat and laugh herself out... XP (At this time, Diana was playing with Alex's camouflage M*A*S*H cap... ^^;;)
We made some kind of circle (Diana said it was a triangle!) and we prayed "Ohmm..." in mock. XP Alex said, "If we had four people, it would be a square!" I added, "If we had SEVENTEEN people, it would be a septdecigon!" (They were confused the minute I said "septdecigon".)
A septdecagon (I actually said it wrong when I was in BK. It's "deca", not "deci".) is a 17-sided polygon. Well, I'm pretty it is. Either that, or a 70-sided polygon. XP
Diana started using big words by then, and I got pretty confused... @_@
When I was watching the bikes, I said, "AGH! That bird is trying to steal our bikes!" (Alex and Diana ACTUALLY turned around. XP)
Oh yeah...one time while I was talking, Diana and Alex weren't listening to me, they were watching a fly on its back trying to get up! XP @_@!
Umm...and then Alex told us a story about a day when she was eighth grade when she hooked her friend's fox tail keychain to her back and walked around school with that. People laughed at her, and one guy, in the lunch line, asked her what it is. She replied, "It's my tail!" (Everyone started laughing... XP)
Also, she was telling us how people think she's so quiet. (Not true!) It's like me and Diana too! We talk A LOT, but not when we don't have to. Especially school! School, I hardly talk, since I don't have most of my friends in my classes, so yeah... No one to talk to sometimes.
Gah! Burger King probably makes so much money in the summer! Tons of kids come here during the summer! Let's see...
There was us, of three people.
There was that earlier group with three people. (One Asian, one Hispanic, one black.)
There was that group with three blacks.
There was that group with three Hispanics.
Hehe, everyone travels in pairs of threes. (I don't mean to sound racist when I state their race. I just try to be detailed... ^^;;)
But then when we left, four black kids came in. The "three group" chain had been broken. XP
Oh yeah! When I first came in, I thought I recognized one of the people in the group, and I waved "hello!" But when I looked closely, it wasn't him! (GAH! I hate when that happens! When you think you see someone you know, say "hello", until you realize it's not them. -_-;;)
So yeah. We got pretty full after a while and headed out to leave. Alex kicked the door to open it. o_O;; (It was a glass door, and four black kids, all wearing yellow shirts, blue jeans--some were shorts were by the door when she kicked it, and I think they took it offensely. ^^;;)
Ahhh...I sounded old when I said this, but I added, "Now, does anyone have to go before we leave?" (Then we started discussing how our parents and brothers always use weird words. Like: "I have to go tinkle." or "I have to go make a poopy." JUST SAY "RESTROOM"!!!)
So we started biking off. We stopped by that graffiti-sprayed area again, and she took pictures of me posing with Diana. We played around in there for a bit. Diana said it looked like an underground subway! (Yeah, it did!) She said it looked like the train station where Harry Potter went to get to Hogwarts Express. (9 and 3/4s, was it? To show it, at the end, she took her bike and tried to bike across a SOLID brick wall! OH MY GOSH! XP Of course, she crashed. XP)
There was an archway by there, and I said it looked like the portal from Spirited Away, when they were going through the tunnel to reach that amusement park. Alex ran through it! ^^;;
Ah, to Alex, this has been a "magical adventure"! Haha, in a way, it has been. XP
We biked all the way home to Alex's house, then we stopped by Nickkie's home, chewed some gum, and talked. (We didn't bother to get Nickkie out, we just sat in the front of her house.) Her mom came home holding a little kid and waving to us. XP
Well, the sun was setting pretty low, and we headed our separate ways. (Alex said she would stop by the playground before going home.)
Until...Diana told me Alex forgot her hat! So we started biking towards her house pretty fast! Of course, I didn't see a glimpse of Alex at the house. Diana was biking so slow, but I had to get Alex...
I reached her house and knocked on the door, but they already saw me before I even knocked on the door. (Also, I heard yelling...well, not yelling, but an argument before they opened the door.) It was Alex's mom, and Alex hadn't come home yet. (She still believed Alex was with Sue and Nickkie! XP)
I saw Alex biking through the street of her house, and told her that she left her hat there. She said it was okay, and she would go look for it tomorrow.
So Diana and I biked home. I wanted to go back to look for Alex's hat (the camo M*A*S*H one that Diana was playing with), but I had to go home before nightfall, and I didn't trust Diana biking by herself. Also, my mom might've been angry.
OH! On the way Diana and I were biking home, we passed the park close by Alex's house. A little black kid screamed out (probably to his mom?), "THAT BOY HAD SEVEN GIRLS WITH HIM!!!" (My expression: o_O??? If you know by now, most of my friends are girls, and I have only passed by that park with the most people of 4???)
So we biked home. I prayed (yes, I prayed!) that Alex's hat would stay there until she got back to Burger King and got it. Then I took a shower.
Oh, you're probably wondering why we went to BK by bike. Well, we were bored, Alex promised she'd bike to BK before she left to go to her vacation. Oh yeah! Her vacation. She's going to Pennsylvania and Virginia Wednesday, so it might be the last time we get to hang out...
After showering, my mom told me to go water the grass. After watering the grass, I found my mom snooping around in my room! o_O! (What the...?!) She was looking through my manga books, trying to see if there was "bad" stuff in there. -_-;; (I had Ark Angels, Alice 19th, and Fushigi Yugi: Genbu Kaiden out. GAH. FY:GK was...inappropriate, I think. -_-;;) She was also snooping around my anime/manga drawings, and reading stuff I wrote down in my notebook to remind myself what to do each day! (ARGH!!! INVASION OF PRIVACY!!!)
She also saw Memoirs of a Geisha on my bed. I had been reading it earlier, but didn't bother putting it up. -_-;; She said An Suc's older sister came by (along with 10 other people!) to look around the house. (My mom is always giving tours of the house to people, and that includes my EVERYONE'S ROOM, including my sister--who doesn't clean, and my room.) My mom said that An Suc's older sister (she was in her late 20s, early 30s) said I was smart to read that book, but that book gives people "wrong" thoughts. (Okay, so it's a perverted book. I don't care about that! It's a really sad book!) So I tried to explain to my mom the STORY of Memoirs of a Geisha as to why I read it.
This is the way I explained it to my mom. This is not a very good sypnosis, so go find a better one! XP
Chiyo and Satsu were two children of a poor fisherman in Japan. Their mother was always sick. One day, their mother died, and their father had sold them off because he couldn't take care of them anymore. Chiyo and Satsu were sold to an okiya (where geishas worked--I didn't know how to say this in Vietnamese, so I said "a place where girls go to learn dancing, arts, etc.")
After that, we came down and prayed. After praying, I wanted to show Ricky a glitch I knew about in Pokemon, but he deleted ALL HIS DATA on his Red (originally mines), Blue, and Yellow! WAH! *screams*
We went upstairs and all three of us played Harvest Moon: Magical Melody, and Super Smash Bros. Melee. After that, I headed to sleep. I didn't really sleep though. I stayed up all night in bed reading Memoirs of a Geisha. It was something about that book that pulled me in. I was about 3/4s done with the book. (Spoiler: I was in the part when Japan was in WWII, the Depression.) I found it sad, but I still wanted to read on.
It's a pretty great book. So sad too. I heard that the movie is different from the book, so I need to see what the movie's all about...
I finished the book around...2 AM in the morning, and went to sleep.
Today
I woke up around...10-11 AM? My sister wanted to use the computer, so she took the key that she had kept from yesterday, unlocked the room, and used the computer.
I went to go take a bath, and after that, I went to go use the computer. But it started storming really bad, and my mom told me to turn off the computer. I came downstairs and saw my brother was cooking pasta and my mom making winter gourd soup. Umm...my brother wanted me to make the sauce, so I did. But when he ate it, he said it had a chalky taste. (Yeah, it kind did... ^^;;)
Um, after we had finished eating, my brother started to yell "I'm BORED!!!" My mom HATES hearing that phrase. She told Ricky to go outside, make some friends, or do something. He could do anything, but he just wanted to stay home.
My sister was on the computer... I asked her to get off, and she angrily did. She went to bed after that.
I chatted with Lac-Hong, who I hadn't seen in forever! She's still in Dallas. (Today was the longest chat I had with her.)
Trangie came back to P.A. from Houston yesterday!
And Alex!!! Oh! Remember that camo cap she lost? Well, she biked REALLY QUICKLY that same day to Burger King and found her cap under the table, wedged between a seat! (She almost got in trouble, and hoped that no one realized she came back with the hat.) She went to go look when they did their recycling thing...
I'm sad. Alex is going to Pennsylvania and Virginia tomorrow! She won't be back until a few weeks later! WAH!!!!!!!!! She wanted me to come, and that I could stowaway in her luggage. MUAHAHAHA! (Too bad I can't!)
My sister and mom went grocery shopping. I'll talk to you guys later! Bye!
So long a post. XP

Swimming, Church, and Kimchi-Making!
Start: 9:18 PM CST
ARGH, I'm lucky that I got a second hour today, even though it's so late... URGH. I need more time to post. -_-;;
Yesterday (After Posting)
Well, I got off the computer, but I was bored. My sister was depressed... I felt like going swimming, but my mom wouldn't let me because she said it looked like it was about to rain. Well, she gave me some chores, and after I finished those chores, it was about...7-something PM. (The pool closed at 8 PM.) So I quickly changed into swimming trunks, a white shirt, sandals, and brought along a towel and other stuff. At first, I was gonna walk, but I felt weird. (Why? My pants felt short. ^^;;) So yeah... I kept pacing myself back and forth until I decided to get my bike and head off there.
At the pool, I saw Julio playing ball with one of his friends. (I haven't seen Julio in a LONG TIME! Last time I saw him was the day before he got suspended for bringing beer to the school...) I didn't bring a chain (I NEED ONE!) or a lock, so I just left it there. (His friend said he always sees bikes with no chains there.)
So basically in the pool, I only floated around. It was so nice, floating on water, watching the sky in its twilight moment. It makes you feel like you're floating up in the sky... *laughs*
Julio left with his friend (and I think his younger sister too) as it was getting dark... I stayed in the water and floated, but went to side of the pool for a bit. (I thought they were getting out because of adult swim... Hmm.) So I was watching these two Hispanic (they actually looked more Spaniard) girls playing with each other in the water. (At first, I thought one of the girls looked like Kathy's little sister! XP) Then I realized it wasn't. The older girl was drowning the littler girl in the water (I think it was for fun), and I just smiled. (Not drowning, but kinda playfully dragging her by her floating device??? Dunno. @_@)
As I was swimming, I heard a man talk with his younger son. (He was the oldest brother of the two girls I saw earlier, I think.) I couldn't help but overhear! XP So...that boy had a girlfriend, and one of his sisters liked the girlfriend. (The father in a way, explained it in a weird way. He said it was all right if his sister liked his girlfriend, but if another girl liked his girlfriend, he should shun that other girl. Gasp! o_O!) Homophobic, maybe...? (I dunno, maybe I heard wrongly.)
So everyone started to leave, and it was about time for the pool to close, so I got out, tried to dry as fast as I could, and bike all the way home.
I don't remember what I did after that... Uhh... I showered, then watched a bit of Naruto while doing something in the kitchen. (GAH, my memory's getting blurry!!! @_@!) I ate the rest of the noodles (with beef and bean root) while watching Chinese dramas with my mom...
I remember getting on the computer later that night (because my mom wanted me to check her e-mail), but she made my brother get off, and he was so angry about that. He went downstairs and forgot to bring his retainer. (He had his teeth straightened with braces, but if he doesn't wear his retainer, they get messed up again quickly.) And my mom was angry, and as usual, she was going on about how she spent hundreds of dollars on his teeth, and if he didn't take of them, she would pull them out, tooth by tooth. (So I tried throwing the retainer container to Ricky, but he didn't catch it, and it fell down, and a part of it snapped off.) My mom asked what happened, and when she had heard, she yelled at me so badly... (And she went on about how she spent a lot of money on the retainer and how she had to waste her time going back to the orthodontist getting a new one... Sigh...)
At night, I stayed up and read Memoirs of a Geisha. I don't understand why my sister thinks this is a boring book. (I think that's what she said.) I find it parts, sad, but parts enjoyable. There's just something about a book that draws you in, ya know?
And then a question popped into my head:
What's the difference between a memoir and an autobiography?
And my neck started hurting, so I went to sleep...
OH! Suc Poh wanted us to come to Galveston to see her daughter (who lives there). But my mom didn't want to go. We had to go to church tomorrow, and she didn't want to miss it.) I said we could go to church early and go later, but my mom had already said "no".
Today
Urr... I woke up around 9 or 9:30 AM because my mom came into the room and woke me up. ^^;;
After changing and getting ready, we headed off to church. (For some reason, I was wearing all black today. My mom said it was too hot to do that, but I didn't change. ^^;;)
When I came into church, my mom prayed to the statue on the right side when entering the church. I wanted to light a candle, but there was no more gas in the lighter we had. (A little girl also wanted to light a candle.) I went to the left side and grabbed one of the candles, but that one had no more gas either. My mom tried to pick up the candle with her hand, but the wax was still hot and it burned her... ^^;;
After mass was over, I saw Khang behind me! (OH MY GOSH! I hadn't seen Khang since the last day of Viet Ngu! And he was so depressed that day!) I was so happy to see him. I asked him how his summer's been so far, but he said he's only been sleeping, watching T.V., and eating. (Haha, the story of most of our lives, neh? ^^;;) I said "bye" to him, but my sister said to Khang, "Bye crazy." (She thinks he's crazy. o_O;;) He replied, "Bye Fatty!" *laughs* (Then he walked off with his mom...or his sister... He has no sister... o_O;; His mom looks SO YOUNG! o_O!)
I also saw Andy! (I hadn't seen him since the time in church he tried to burn Ricky's hair! XP)
We headed off towards the car, but my mom needed to call someone on her cell phone. Diana went looking for Dalena, Diana, and Anne. (They don't go to this church anymore... No wonder. This church is so cheap and always asking for money... -_-;;) I tried to look for Andy because he might know where Dalena and Diana went...but he was nowhere to be found.
It wasn't until we started driving off in the van that I saw Andy walking behind the church. (I started screaming and banging the window--but my window's not a pull-down. XP) Ricky said "hi" to him though. ^^;;
After that, we headed home...
OH! But my mom wanted to go sign up something somewhere, so we drove to Mission Bend Elementary (I thought it was a middle school!) (I told her it wasn't the right school), so I told her the directions to what I thought was "Mission Bend Elementary". Turns out, it was "Mission GLEN Elementary". GAH, I'm so confused now... @_@
Uhh...I made icing! Yup, got so bored I made icing. First I tried putting blue in it (it was originally yellow--the icing--so it made it a light-green-blue color. It looked like TOOTHPASTE. Tasted good, but looked like toothpaste.) I added red, and it became the color of deep red/pink rose... I fed it to my sister (who was on a treadmill) and brother, and they got hooked on it, they started eating it all (putting it on waffles, eating it raw). I'm sick of it now... SO SWEET. But UGH.
My sister went on the computer... Umm...I went on the computer after her. I spent my time watching Pokemon! (Japanese episodes! They're more funnier and the English dubs aren't great quality...) But it took up my computer time. (We're only allowed one hour a day now...) My brother got on, and Diana and I went off to eat shrimp, noodles, and lettuce. (Umm...can't think of the name of the Vietnamese dish!!! @_@! Think spring rolls with lettuce. XP)
After we finished, I wanted to draw, so Diana and I headed to my room, drew pictures, and listened to my sister's CDs. (I had to run back and forth to do my laundry.)
I got bored of drawing, so I read Memoirs of a Geisha. Then, Diana and I realized Ricky had been on the computer for TOO long. (Two hours already. ^^;;) So I called him to get off, and he got all..."talk-backy and weird-sarcasm"-like. (Yes, he cannot use sarcasm correctly.)
Uhh... I got bored... (I just realized my mom wasn't home. o_O;;) She just came home, and I started to make a custard. So I was standing at the stove, mixing custard for...a LONG TIME. (Low heat, ya see.) My sister was depressed, so she helped.
Umm...I did some more ingredients, and now I'm gonna turn it into mango ice cream!
(I think my mom was cutting the grass outside while I was making my ice cream! Yeah, she was.) When that ice cream cools from the stove, it turns into marshmallow. (Actually, the way you make marshmallow and ice cream is ALMOST similar.)
Ah-ha... A marshmallow-y ice cream... ^^;;
Yeah, I just got on after my sister had been on for an hour.
Trangie's staying in Houston (she went up today--I wanted to go to Hong Kong Mall with her!) and she's heading home tomorrow...
ARGH. Gotta go now! Bye!

Umm...The Bleh Is Over?
Start: 5:39 PM CST
Hey guys! Oy, if I could remember everything that happened...
Last Night
Well, um, I was hanging out with my sister in her room, trying to draw, and I saw she had empty disks by her CD player. I asked her what they were, and she said they were messed up. She says something was wrong with the burning thing?
So I got WORRIED. (If you know me REALLY well, if something wrong happens with the computer, I try to fix it.) So I begged my mom (who still wouldn't let me on the computer) to let me have the keys to the computer room. After a lot of asking, she gave me them.
I started to burn the music (after a long time of choosing what to burn), and it worked! I realized that my sister used the CDs An Suc gave to me! (Diana later told me that they must've been corrupted...) EVIL!
Chi and Alaina started talking to me. (It was a fun chat! ARGH, how come I have fun chats when I'm not allowed on the computer?!)
So my sister wanted to burn some music, and I went to go take a shower.
After coming out of my shower (a few minutes later), my sister said she just started burning her music! WHAT?! BUT GUESS WHAT?! Her music burner messed up. (I don't know why, but everything on her account is messed up!) We had to restart the computer. (By restart, I mean PULL the PLUG of the computer's OUT of the WALL.) That was the only way we could make it stop... ^^;; If you tried turning it off any other way, it wouldn't work.
We tried burning again, and it messed up... @_@!
So...so far, my sister has wasted FIVE (5!) CDS!!! They have NOTHING on them... Oy. (She wants to keep them for something. Eh.)
My mom wants me to burn her some music. Some songs that have a nice beat, but no words. (She likes background music?)
I got the new burned CD I just made, turned it on (it was around 11 PM) and fell asleep. (Not asleep because I was concious, but it was like a "I need to get up but I don't wanna get up!" feeling.) So when I woke up, it was past midnight, the music was blaring, and the lights were still on in my room.
...^^;; That's what I get for listening to soft piano songs at midnight. XP (And soft techno. XP)
Today
I woke up around 11 AM, and my sister was on the computer (she wasn't supposed to be!) playing Switcheroo. My mom let on... I went on after her time was over (past noon?) and played Gunbound. But my mom wanted me to go shopping with her to replace the broken piece of my cloth poster.
So I changed quickly, and got in the car with her. Before we stopped by the store, we went to a new post office and my mom shipped her stuff. When we were there, we found it after a while, but it was hard to choose what to choose. (They were all different sizes.)
I called my brother (who was being a retard, as usual) and I told him to go into my room, find my Final Fantasy poster (that took him a LONG time--it's a wrapped up pole of cloth!!!), and measure it with his fingers (he said he didn't have a ruler--I TOLD HIM TO MEASURE IT BY HIS FINGERS!!!--and still he wouldn't measure it)...
Oy. I got so frustrated I hung up on him. @_@
Oh, in the store, a little girl was singing a song being played by the speaker. I don't remember the name, but this is how it goes. "No one can live your life for you, only you can live it for you, no one else... Open up the dirty window, illuminate..."
Can't remember title. But I listened to that girl sing, and I just bursted out smiling! XP (I was trying to hold it back in though! ^^;;)
We went home around after that... Yup.
And my brother went off to his friend's house when we were in the store, and he came home around 4 PM...
Sue's getting a job at the mall! Nickkie wanted me to drive her to Katy Mills Mall so we can go see Sue... *laughs* Too bad I can't drive. XP
Well, gotta go now. I wanna just spend the rest of my time chatting and IMing. Bye!
Oh yeah. I did fix that Final Fantasy poster, but the black plastic part was too small! (It tightened the fabric around the edges, and I was afraid it would tear.) My mom said I was making such a big deal out of it and it was fine. So we hung it in my sister's room and stuff... My sister got pissed at me and mom. (For being in her room while she was drawing?) Yeah...
