Start: Oh shoot...when did I start this post?!?!
Puahahas!!! I'm back...again! I told you I drop by, eh? I kept my promise...right...?
April Fools! (Wait, it's not April!)
Oh, it was really Vanessa that brought me back to MyOtaku. Just one comment from her on MySpace made me want to come back! Oh goodness, she's really secretly a necromancer in real life, isn't she?!
Anyways, back to getting serious.
Today, I went to a funeral service for my friend Calvin. Just last week, he had passed away from a car accident. It was really weird too, because I had just recently graduated Confirmation with him...and then, three weeks later, he passes away. It's so strange.
I feel really sad for his parents though. His parents lost all their children... His little sister had passed away from a car accident three years ago, and now Calvin's gone. I can't begin to imagine how they feel.
Chi's aunt was being auspicious though: both of them had died from a car accident, and both had died in June. Coincidence? Hmm, maybe.
I went to a prayer service for Calvin on Monday, and I have to say, on that day, my mom was so hectic, and I kept having this feeling that she was going to crash on the way there. (Our van actually pulled up on a curb and got stuck on it!) It was really crazy, but we got to funeral home safely.
It was so sad... All the church people (the adults) were there, and praying. Later, at the end, I saw Jay, and I found out something: Jay was Calvin's cousin. In his eyes, I could see a deep hurt in there; they were teary. They say when a person cries it all out, they feel better. But when you're quiet when you're sad, it's a kind of sadness that'll stick with you for quite a while...
Well, in the funeral service today, Jay was one of the people in the front, along with the rest of his family. The entire church was packed. All of them; family members, classmates, friends, all the TAs, Confirmation graduates... They were all there for him. I noticed that tons of the students were non-Catholic, but it was okay; your religion doesn't truly choose what kind of person you are.
Even Chi Dung and Anh Thai Son came down! (They had just moved to Dallas about a week ago.) Chi Dung told me not to worry though, because now Calvin is Home.
(If you don't get it, Home is Heaven.)
Chi Dung and Anh Thai Son will be at our house tomorrow (or somewhere later in the week), for our last time to see each other in Houston.
It was funny; my mom had asked if they wanted to come over tomorrow, and he said, "No, no, we'll just be there to eat a little bit." That made my mom laugh. She thought she was inviting him to go eat out again! (No, this time, my mom wants them to get to know what our house was like.)
After the mass, everyone started walking outside, but they all got really confused. In a traditional Vietnamese funeral, the people carry the casket towards the grave, and the people would follow after, walking as a band of people, towards the grave. Well, since the people couldn't walk there, they had to drive.
My mom and I couldn't attend the funeral; we were too busy. We went to go buy food at a local restaurant, but the man who owned the restaurant just had a pissed-off look when we came in.
"You know mister, frowning at your customers makes them feel really uncomfortable." Eh, I should've said something like that like while I was in there.
I don't know why, but people don't really like me and my mom at first glance. People say I tend to look like a girl or mean or scary while people think my mom looks too high-class or too frowny or too snobby. (We're really not like that once you get to know us, really.)
After that, we went grocery shopping... It was kind of weird. I was wearing all black (because of the funeral), so people kept looking away from me when walking around. Bwah.
Plus, my right eye started twitching a lot. Now, that's one of my psychic powers, I guess. It means I can either sense the dead or tell that people are talking about me. Well, my right eye twitched like CRAZY today. Earlier, my mom kept saying, "Your shirt looks like Diana's!" (No mom, I bought this shirt last August! Don't you remember?!) Bah, I'm guessing people kept talking about my shirt...hehe. (The neck part was a bit too wide for a guy's, ya know?)
After grocery shopping, we came home, ate, and now, I'm here.
I've been practicing playing guitar, and now, I feel blisters in my left hand. Hehe.
Oh...that reminds me! Becky Su is in China right now! She's my friend that's sewing me this custom-made scarf, and I pay her money. Really neat trade. But I'm beginning to miss the intellect-stimulating conversations we'd always have. Wah.
Justin's back from China! Uhhh...what else.
Oh yeah! I'm questioning my sexuality right now! It's really crazy, and TONS of stuff happened, but I've decided I'm not choosing what gender I like... Either that, or I become a priest! (There's two stories in that!)
Oh my. This is getting interesting, huh?
I'll tell you guys more about my summer and such, okay?
Oh yeah! I have to tell you about what happened from Spring Break to now! (OH GOSH, THE HORROR!!!)
Bye bye guys!

 Still Not Back...
|
Start: 4:08 PM CST
Hiya guys! It's the last week of school for me! And I know, I'm sorry I've been away! Truth be told, I technically am still away. Yeah... It's sad, right?
But some happy news for ya! I actually got a new theme up! You guys remember my old theme, right? The theme that says, "How do you explain color to a person that can't see?" I checked my dates, and turns out, I had that theme up for over half a year! Wow. I truly am the definition of laziness, right?
This new theme is called "Caribbean Blue", which is based off one of my favorite new age singers, Enya. The song is a bit slow, so if you don't want to fall asleep, then don't play it! Hehe. But on the other hand, it's a very peaceful song.
I actually HATED this theme when I first put it up. Why? The words were off-screen! (The "caribbean blue" in cursive...) Plus, the coding was confusing to mess around with, and when I made this theme, I had a lot of homework. (Can you say "procrastination"?) But after coming back to it, I see that it looks nice. It didn't come out as well as I wanted it to...but it's still nice.
Anyways, you MIGHT be hearing from me later in the summer! I love you guys! Bye!
End: 4:11 PM CST
P.S. I have some secrets I want to share with you. Hehe.

 I'm ALIVE!!!
|
Start: 7:02 PM CST
Hiya guys! Yes, this isn't gonna be a super-long post. Heck, it's BARELY gonna be a post...
...but I want you guys to know that I'm not dead.
My mom just broke my glasses, so I'm basically relying on my fingers and head to type all of this. So...I won't be able to type anything interesting right now.
...But I'm not dead. Hehe.
I'm also trying to make a theme (err, more like THEMES) for my website, but it's been unsuccessful. I'm just really unhappy with everything I make.
Oh, I have TAKS testing tomorrow! (That's a state test...) And my glasses are broken, so...ugh. BUT...I do have prescription sunglasses! (I just hope I can wear those during the test...eh.)
Well, talk to you guys later.
I'll be BACK!
...Somewhen.

I'm Alive, Peoples!
|
Start: 6:05 PM CST
Hi peoples! It's been...9 or 10 weeks since I've been here! Oh my gosh! THAT LONG?! Yes, that long! I've missed you guys! It's Spring Break for me, and I can finally post, away from all the franticness of my life...
I really do miss you guys... And I'm about to burst out crying.
You guys are probably wondering... "If you missed us so much, why didn't you come back?!" I guess it was because I wanted to leave MyOtaku for so long, and I thought I could forget about it... But you guys will always be part of me.
Okay! Enough tears! Let's move on! (Upbeat, aren't I?)
So...what has my life been ever since I've left? Let's see...
1. We've had two fires at our school, both on the same day. (That equals up to an equal of seven this whole year!) It was on the Friday the week I left, I think.
2. A bi boy had taken liking to me. Yes, it's weird, but he would always touch me and always pull me closer to him. (It was awkward.) Anyways, a little before February, he got his old boyfriend back (who happens to be a decade older than him?!) and forgot all about me... Eh, it's for the best. But he forgot ALL about me! I mean, okay, you have a boyfriend now, but I'm your friend! You can't just drop me off like that! (Or...unless you only liked me because you wanted me to be your boyfriend?!)
He even said, the week I left, "I wish Travis were gay..." (Weird wish. *laughs*)
What else...
3. Karen and me finished our Science Fair project! I gave a good presentation, and we did pretty well! But my friends, Christina and Kevin, made city, then state! I WAS SO EXCITED, until Christina was disqualified because her giant pastel picture got smudged. WHAT A HORRIBLE WAY TO GET DISQUALIFIED. And she won first place! (Her project was making an alternative fuel source from biomass--er, it was a biodiesel.)
Kevin's project was taking hydrochloric acid (yes dearies, the same acid that can melt through your flesh!) and harvesting hydrogen from it to create an alternative fuel source.
Shoot...our (Karen and I!) project was grafting plants. Christina said we could've done something like...grafting plants to make plants grow in very dry areas to grow food. (Shoot, we should've done something like that!!!!)
Rehman's project was about defying the laws of physics and time. It was VERY interesting.
4. Culture Week was so fun! All of us wore our cultural clothes! It took me about a week, but I found Chinese clothing. (I was intentionally looking for Viet clothing.) WE PRACTICALLY searched all of Chinatown! No place sold ao dais. We went into an old lady's house, and I liked ONE of them, but it was $100... We found a Chinese one at Hong Kong Mall though...where I found a group of Asian kids break-dancing to "Dragostea Din Tei", or also known as "Numa Numa"... Hehe.
Risham wore a depta and traditional Indian clothing! (Or is he Paki?!) And so did Kaushal...
Karen wore a hanbok, Korean clothing that used to belong to her grandmother, and Tiffany wore a kimono, even though she's not Japanese. And oh! Na Nhi had a REALLY nice one... It was a white ao dai, with a transparent white cloth over it, with patterns of roses on it. (White, red, green, and transparency. Great colors! Hehe!)
Right! Forgot to tell you!
5. Robotics meeting at CiCi's Pizza and LazerZone!
I came there, waiting for everyone, especially Akhil (calling him repeatedly!), who came after me (I was the first person!), and soon after, everyone came afterwards. Janice, Chi, and even Sue and Kathy came! (Sue wanted to kill people in laser tag!) Chi and Kathy had their Medical interviewing for internship next year...so they came late.
We ate pizza, and Travis and Austin High School came after, filling the restaurant with TONS of high school students. (It was their ROTC group!) I talked with Haley, and got to know more about our ROTC group. We're Army!
Angel was there too!
After that, we all went to LazerZone, right beside CiCi's, and we waited a LONG time for our game. I saw Michael, who was with his friends! We eventually got to play laser tag (after air hockey and other games--it didn't have a lot of arcade games) and guess what? I couldn't breathe! (I was wearing "tight" pants and wearing a turtleneck shirt, with a gold chain choking my neck!!!) Ahh...I got lost when everyone left. (Apparently, everyone had left.) I tore the left knee area of my jeans! (NOOO! I was crawling too much while playing!!!) Even now to this day, my left knee hurts from that game.
Did I mention I made last place? Yup, 33rd place!
We played a second game, and this time, we had teams! I played with James, and we covered each other's backs! This game, I managed to make better shots, but didn't shoot enough people! Therefore, this time I made second to last place! (Out of 44 people, I think...)
Anyways, lots of people left already, and I decided to go home... My sister had cut her hair! (OMGWTF?!?! EMO WANNABE!!!) Her hair was short, in a bowl-like shape. EW. My dad loved it so much (EW!!!) to the point where my mom got her hair cut like that!!! UWAGH!!! (This was the Saturday before Culture Week, so ya know. Or two weeks, I forgot.)
6. Holi and the Saturday of volunteering at Barnes & Noble!
This was fun! Some of the Robotics Team volunteered to work at Barnes & Noble on Saturday...at First Colony Mall! (That was the first time I've been there!!!) Anyways, I was there first (even before the teachers!!!), and eventually, everyone else came. At first, we passed out bookmarks for the book "Lost and Found", which was written by an author who was signing books that day. (TURNS OUT, THAT AUTHOR IS ONE OF THE SCIENCE TEACHERS AT OUR SCHOOL!!!) I didn't know that! I was so busy talking to her about the book that I didn't realize it!!! (Chi told me...)
At first, Angel, Andreah', Ryan, and his mom were busy passing out vouchers for Barnes & Noble (we weren't allowed to pass them out in the store), but we were all so timid about where/who to pass them out to... WAH.
Umm...I met this nice Asian guy who offered me a T-Mobile plan. First nice person I've met so far! (Or was he being nice to make me talk to him?!?!)
Anyways, we went back to the store! Akhil came! But he had to leave for Holi, the Hindu festival of colors/spring!
And incidentally, when I was in Health on Thursday or Friday, one or two days before Holi, I asked, "Hey Akhil, do you know that Hindu festival where people throw colors at each other?" He replied, "Yeah, it's tomorrow." I just stared at him wide-eyed... I WANTED TO GO SO BAD THEN. (But he went to a private one.)
It's a festival that celebrates the spring. And it's like a joke day. Like April Fool's. To the extreme. Hindus are supposed to be strict with their religion, but this is one day where they can just play around and have fun. They throw colors on each other (dyes and powder) and such! It sounded so fun, that I thought Akhil might take me with him--so I wore all white that day. (To make the colors show!) But like I said, it was a private one.
Anyways, some of us got hungry, so Janice, Chi, Andreah', and I went to the food court! Andreah' got ice cream, I got a smoothie ($4?!), and Janice and Chi got Chinese food. Problem was, the restaurant there mixed up EVERYONE'S orders, so people got angry. They should be happy that Chi and Janice are lenient. (GRR.)
We met up with a lot of the HOSA people! They just got back from competition, and were taking a break in the mall! Vanessa, Paul, Shanna, Mac, Stephanie, Reba, Teena, and lots more!
Ahh...it was nice meeting everyone.
But we had to go back to work. OH!!! That...famous engineering guy came to sign books! He also had a press conference, which aired on the radio. He had sensitivity to flashing cameras though, and after some people took pictures, he told them to politely stop. One of his eyes were still twitching after that.
I was walking with Angel, and we met up with Anita, Arianne, Humza, and Kevin! We lost them though...and then I found Raul (with his pinstripe fedora hat!) with his little brother, Ricky! Then we met up with Laticia, her sister Amanda (who I was talking to on the phone earlier, thinking it was Laticia--she called Angel a flying monkey! Hah!) and her boyfriend, Chris...and George! (No, not the gay one... The um...half-white one with glasses!) We all walked around. First, Victoria's Secret (I didn't enter! Angel, me, Raul, and Ricky stayed out... Ricky's too young!) Then we went to Build-A-Bear Workshop, where I told George and Laticia that Hello Kitty's a boy. (George thinks Hello Kitty's a faggot now!)
Whatt....else...?
Ah! We went into the food court where they ordered McDonalds and I finished Laticia's fruit salad! (I'm WEIRD!) We met up with Ariel later on, and went dress-shopping with her!
Ariel and me were walking FAST in the mall, and Laticia, George, and...someone else were walking so slow! So we were doing the slow-walk (me and Ariel), walking in seemingly slow motion, while passerbys walked passed us, staring. And one guy said, "Nice dance moves!" *laughs* (By the way, we made it to the store slow walking... They never did catch up with us, even with us walking SUPER FAST.)
I eventually had to leave to go back to "work". Angel and me ran around the mall (GAH! IT'S SO BIG!!!) passing out more vouchers...
Ahh...my parents eventually came, and I told them to go shopping while I "worked". Ah...one of the store workers (she's not the manager...co-manager???) came to talk with us, saying that we did a good job, but we needed to stop passing the vouchers out because her superior was there, and she didn't want him to see us being caught with them.
We eventually took a break...and Marcus came! Somewhen!
Did I tell you that I saw Ashley, Samantha, and their brother/boyfriend there too? They were shopping!
(OH GOD! SO MANY PEOPLE GO TO FIRST COLONY MALL!!! Even people who live, like, an hour away from there!!!)
I eventually went home...and Diana went to go buy NX Cash... $25. My parents ended up yelling at us, and etc.
Oh, I picked up "Great Expectations" for school!
7. Week before Spring Break!
What happened...? I DON'T REMEMBER.
But on Spring Break, me and Benson got stuck in the school because Mariah told us (Akhil told Benson) there was a Halo tournament on Friday! IT WAS CANCELLED! GAH. Anyways, before I met up with Benson, I walked around with Laticia and Angel. I met new people from Band! BUT OH MY GOSH! A girl named Samantha was walking across Fort Bend Tollway (a highway)!!! People were being frantic, asking if anyone could borrow their car (to pick her up). Later, they came back and I found out: Samantha...the sister of my friend Ashley! (The girl I saw at First Colony Mall?) YES! She and her friend were DRUNK!!! (You could tell!) Samantha got drunk, and got all her sense! GWAH!
Laticia left before that, but Amanda didn't. (I found out they're not really sisters!) Angel left soon too, and I met his parents.
So...me...wandering around the school. I messaged Domonique (Dominique's girlfriend that moved in the summer!), because I hadn't talked to her in three months. (I was looking around my cell phone, and I spotted her name. So for old time's sake, I texted her.)
I eventually met up with Benson! GAH!!! He was still there! We were waiting for our ride, and we yelled at Akhil on our phone. Oh yeah! I told him I knew Malayalam! (I found out he was Malayali!) I looked through my backpack for the folder I keep with all my drawings and language learning papers--it wasn't there! I ran back to my Speech class...
The fire alarm went off FOUR times when I was in there!!!
Thank goodness my teacher was there! I picked it up, and ran back out! (I met five girls in the hallway, and when they saw me, they start singing a capello to me--it was a love song. *sweats*)
Benson wasn't there when I came back. I thought he had left. But nope, he was just walking around the school.
My dad came to pick me up...
La la la!
8. Braces...BYE!!!
YES! I went to the orthodontist at 8 AM Saturday, and they took off my braces! Now I have to wear a retainer! Oh...and I have a cavity, so I need to get that fixed later.
Hmm...my gums started bleeding during the chipping-off of the glue!!! (My bottom front teeth are SENSITIVE...) GAH. It was painful, but I took the pain. One of the assistants said if he (the orthodontist) should stop because it was bleeding, but he said...something. I think he said. "He deserves it for not brushing well." Or maybe that was my imagination.
After that, I went to Nickkie's house, where later, Sobia, Vy and Huy, Alex, Melinda, and Sue came. We ate pizza, and discussed religion, mainly me and Sobia. Ahh...it was fun. (But we originally came for tennis!)
Now I have an idea! The week I come back from Spring Break, I'm gonna wear an original outfit I made during the break! (All thanks to Sobia's idea!)
We played tennis together, with me crazily swinging, hitting the ball too far... Hehe. Whitney (Sue's sister) came later, and played! But it got dark, so me and Alex (who came a lot later--was she stalking me?!) walked to Nickkie's house (I needed to get my bike!), and parted ways. While we were walking through the bayou, we saw the strangest bird. A...dark crane with a backwards S/Z flying... It looked so lonely in the sunset.
Uhhh...Sunday. I went to Vu's church, but he wasn't there! I saw NA NHI there!!! And two more kids from Ngoi Loi Nhap The! Surprisingly, so many people from our church go to this church when there's no Youth Mass... Hehe.
My dad got angry at us because we took so long in Wal-Mart. I bought stuff for fabric!! I bought fabric markers ($9!) and a white cap! (I want a neon green cap!!!) And oh yeah! Spray paint for shirts. (This'll be cool...)
Anyways...the coloring of the hat FAILED. When the cap touched water, the coloring came off...DRASTICALLY. It went from a deep neon green to a...pale light green. (Redundant... Pale light... But that's exactly how it was.)
Anyways...returning those expensive markers later!!!
Monday... HUH. I made lunch! Chicken breast seasoned with so many things! It tasted GOOD, but...I should've let it marinade more longer! GWAH.
Now...must do laundry! I'm getting interested in learning Chinese now! (TRAVIS! You need to finish Spanish! Malayalam!!!)
Interesting fact: Ebonics counts as a foreign language credit in high school here. (There's a class in the district that you can go to to learn Ebonics!!! But not at our school.)
I want to finish my theme for MyOtaku, but I'm lazy.
Also, Daylight Savings Time has thrown me off whack. Like that time Annie came to play (Saturday?). She left around midnight. OOH.
I want to go swimming! BAI!!!
Guys...you MIGHT be seeing more of me. BEWARE SUPER-LONG POSTS!!! (This is an execption because I've been gone for two months!!!)

 I REALLY Need To Post Sooner!
|
Start: 8:04 PM CST
Yeah yeah, I need to post sooner!
Thursday
First time being in B day classes for the new year!
In IPC, we did homework at the end of class, but we were allowed to listen to our music (ex. MP3 players, CD players, etc.), and Mrs. L and the class just had a chat.
Uhh...NO MORE TRANSITION WITH KAREN!!! WAH!!!
I have Transition class in Mr. Hong's class, a Chinese man who can't pronounce English that well...and his students make fun of him for that. I have class with Lindsay! (She's from my original Transition class!) And Solomon!
Ah, I found Rohan too! I made friends with a girl named Mary Claire too! I made friends with Lindsay. I mean, I knew her, but I didn't talk to her. In Transition, I just talked to Karen, ya know?
In Speech, I found out Kai had the same class! (New class!) I sounded angry because he did, but I wasn't! (Wrong tone, ya know?) Well, we got shuffled around in our seats, and we took some tests about our teacher. Those tests that are really just guessing about her life. Yah.
Friday
Digital Graphics: Well, we started working on Illustrator, like I said on Wednesday. The teacher wasn't here, so we got to do...whatever! I made an entire person...out of polygons! (Yay me!)
In English, after we came back from lunch, the fire alarm rang! We all ran outside, and waited outside. We THOUGHT it was a fire drill, but turns out, it really was a fire! (That's the fifth one since December!!!) But I hung with my friends: Na Nhi, Kathy, Nam, Chi, Zach, and later, Aaron! Nam and I switched clothes! (Sounds weird.) I mean, we traded hats, glasses, and jackets. Kathy said we switched personalities. (No, we switched clothes!)
Umm...we got each other's jackets back, and I gave him back his beanie. But he was having fun with my glasses. I thought we wouldn't come back until...whenever. But it did ring soon! And I had just walked across the parking lot to see Aaron! And Nam was nowhere in sight...
So...I went around with no glasses. (I still could read though!)
In Geometry...we made shapes on some program. I sat with Thi, who was being my glasses. (Hehe.)
Don't worry, I got the glasses back on the bus.
Saturday
Boring... Computer all day! (MapleStory! Leveling!)
But no sleepy until...2 AM?
Sunday
GAH, I woke up late! But enough time to get to church school!
I hung with Chi for the beginning. GAH! I found out she's starting to hack now! And then I went on rambling about how hacking was bad...
Ehh...Khang came along later! And I bought him soda...and candy for me!
In Viet Ngu class, it was really the teacher and V...I can't remember his name! (Vung, Vuon, V...???) Anyways, they were reading basically...and teaching the different rhymes of Vietnamese. (Like haiku! 5, 7, 5, 7, 5!!! Only different, of course. Different styles.)
After that, we had Confirmation class, where we studied...and oh! One of the TAs has an electronic Bible. (That sounds funny!)
Umm...mass was nice. I sat with Tinh, John, Anh Nhi, and Diana.
Oh, I found out from Diana: Anh Nhi's moving!!!! Spring Break or summer!!! NOO!!!!!!!!!!!!
Oh, played on MapleStory until 1 AM. Or 2.
Monday
Well, I wasn't at the Robotics meeting on Saturday and Sunday, so Ashley informed me about the new competiton! It's like octagon platform...er, I'll explain later. We can build with whatever we want, but we can't use hydrogen fuel cells...
We went into the Robotics lab, and we tried to watch the video for the next FIRST competition, but something was wrong with codecs... UGH.
After that, I went to go talk to Vu! We were talking about a VP (a videophone!), and how he would help me get one.
Umm...yesterday, in IPC, we had a test! That's all I can remember. Oh, and a bubble gum lab.
In Transition, I talked with Mary Claire, and...what's his name?! I know his name has a "Z"...and he hangs out with Rohan. (It takes me a while to get used to names now. I gotta say it over and over.)
Anyways, there were a group of Mexican guys in the back of the room on the computers (on MySpace), and I was talking to them in Spanish, asking things like, "What are you doing?" and "Are you on MySpace?" Some people are surprised I know Spanish... *sweats*
I taught "Z" some Vietnamese sentences! Like he wanted to know how to say, "Your head is big, but you have small ears." and "Your nose is big." Weird, eh?
I also found out that Mary Claire's family is French! Her mom and grandmother are really fluent. But Mary Claire doesn't like it when immigrants come to a new country and don't speak that language.
Also, "Z" speaks Urdu and Farsi. (Whee!)
I made friends with a bunch of black people (umm...can't remember their names, sorry!), and they nicknamed me "Tra". (Sounds like "tray" or "Tre".) I haven't heard someone call me that since...6th-7th grade! (Wow!)
Oh, and lots of borrowing my calculator.
Yesterday, I was sitting with Chi, Akhil, and Alvin, and...what were we talking about? (Mostly eating, I think.)
I remember after eating, I started coughing a lot.
In World Geography, Tien brought her Build-A-Bear-Workshop Bear to school! Angelie got it for her! It had a Superman shirt (with the symbol in the middle), and Superman boxers. Mohammad "molested" her bear by putting a paper ball into the bear's pants...in the "you-know-where" area.
In Speech, we got a thing where we lined up all by birthday, with only one minute, and then we interviewed the person on the left of us. I met Nason, an Indian (I thought he was Hispanic! He hung out with Esteban, so yah...) and I found out he's a Medical sophomore! I got interviewed by Bobbi, and that was interesting.
I liked...Hector's (what's his name?! "Hector" isn't right!!!) speech the most. I tried to make mines longer and informative, and I got a few laughs from it. *smiles*
Ah...the bell said 3:05 PM, and the bell still didn't ring. And I told the teacher, and she let us out. But the teachers wouldn't let us go out. I met up with Miriam and Freddy and told them that we couldn't go.
Later I found out: Some students were playing with chemicals. So there was a chemical spill...and we weren't allowed to leave.
I was talking to Freddy, about the mercury spill last year, and we even talked more about Science! He talked about dissection with a frog he did last year (and so detailed, he explained the organs! GAH!!!) and I talked about cleaning my 4th grade (it was actually 6th and 7th grade) Science teacher and finding a baby pig embryo inside a jar of "water". (Really, it was formalehyde!)
After that, I went to Robotics Club!
New competition is called "Rack 'n Roll" and it's basically like tic-tac-toe. Our robots must use colored life-preservers and put them through a loop, and these loops are coming out like a spider. 8 sticks, three layers. The robot has to automatically take the hoops and put them through. And we have to do 3-in-a-row, and 2-in-a-row to get more points. (Plus more in-a-rows like 4, 5, etc.)
I said, "Hey, it's like 'Robotic Tic-Tac-Toe To the Extreme'!!!" Janice just laughed, but Andreah' agreed!
In this competition, the robots are allowed to fight! Like ramming, etc. So Andreah' was thinking of installing a hammer! I thought of an axe! (Note: Tuesday we found out we couldn't use hammers... Just ramming and boxing-in. WAH.)
What was I doing for the rest of the day? Uhh...I was making a cursor for my test website (which I started...Saturday and never finished?), so that was fun...until I learned my coding wouldn't work!!! NOO!!!!
OH YEAH. Aaron was there. He wasn't supposed to be. Why? Well, he was waiting in line to get on the bus, and when it was his turn, she slammed the bus door in front of him and drove off! (HOW MEAN!!!)
On the bus, Aaron, me, Akhil, Michelle (Hispanic!), and Nohemi were just sitting. I wanted to eat Parul's nuts... He had a bag of nuts (cashews, almonds, peanuts) and he gave me a lot, but I still wanted more!!!
I went to sleep...around 1 AM?
Tuesday
Today! Ahm. Uhh...I was asleep. A lot. I WANTED to be asleep. A lot. I was asleep in the cafeteria in the morning, and Sean and Vu passed by me, but we greeted each other. (Why do they come from the opposite side of the school now?)
Michelle's friend thinks it's SO COOL to see sign language! Hehe, it is cool, neh? I started talking to Ivan from far away and Michelle's friend whispered loudly, "He knows it too!" So they started using what little ASL they know. Like "You die." (Eh?)
To class! Err...we were standing outside until Lauren opened the door for us via the opposite side of the portable! Yah!
We did a collage! I did mines with a neighborhood made of XBox carrying CD cases, a forest, and sugary treats! I also made a new phrase!
The old on in the magazine: Distance tears friends apart. XBox Live brings them together.
New phrase: Together, friends tear the XBox live apart.
Cute, right?
Digital Graphics! I worked more on my polygon anime person, and he's turning out nice! Finished his socks, jeans, rest of his shirt, and gave him a scarf and wings! Really nice!
In English, we read more of Romeo and Juliet, and our teacher even helped translated into nowaday meanings!
Like the Queen Mab speech...talks about a fairy that molests men at night. (What the heck?!)
So you know, I was doing Mercutio.
And there was there part where Romeo meets Juliet by crashing the party. The teacher heard Grant read kinda boring-like, and she said, "Put your soul into it!" And he tried to do this soft, sexy voice. It was so funny, we all bursted into laughter. Even Grant did! (We were all red by the end of reading it!)
Lunch...I sat with Vu...little talking with me and them. For the first time, I've seen the sign that most people use: "Fuck you." in sign language! (I mean, I know they use it, I just never see it.)
Shoaib's back! I saw him by the utensils, and I started signing very quickly, "Where have you been?!" He signed back, "Oh, I've been sick." And I signed back, "But for TWO WEEKS?!"
Later, I found out it was just really three days. (I keep adding the holiday too. Hehe. *sweats*) He caught cold, and yah.
Geometry. Eep! I was with Michelle and Kevin! Babetta was being mean to Kevin...err...Tina and Thi were saying "mean" things about Danny in Spanish.
Urr...Kevin got his entire desk covered with blue ink. UGH, how messy!
And we did work on a quadrilateral. Each group got one. Ours was "trapezoids"!
After class, I went outside and talked with the Deaf students. Alma was crying because her boyfriend didn't want to go on a date with her. Or broke up with her. (I'm not sure...)
Oh...Rahim wants me to hook him up with a girl tomorrow. Uh...what the heck? I didn't know what to say, so I signed, "Tomorrow."
And I think Shoaib was talking about boxing. But really, I think he was talking about training in a gym. (Ah, signing. You just gotta assume sometimes.)
Urm. Robotics Club! They STILL haven't made my account yet! And it's been WEEKS!!! We watched the FIRST competition movie again, and this time, Peggy explained the competition more better than the monotonous man talking in the movie.
Now...me, Janice, Jonathan (new guy! Black, has glasses!), and Benson have to create a robot together! So we went through rules and stuff...but we couldn't get a design done. I made one, but weight was a factor there. My designs were more designed to be lightweight. But it left it closed to defense and attack. GRR!!!
Janice got bored... We all got bored. So Zach was pretending to be blind (with a red bandana around his eyes), and I was running away from him, with my rolling chair. I gave up on the rolling chair and just started running, and pushed Nam into Zach, saying that it was me. (It would've worked...if Nam wasn't so tall.)
Umm, I pretended to be dead because a rolling chair fell on me and I died. And then for greed, Akhil stole my wallet. (The sophomores needed pictures for a project! Emotions, friendships, etc.) And there was one where I was falling, and Zach picked me up.
Urr...Zach claims Benson loves me. (HUH...?) And that we're in a love rectangle. Me, Jonathan, Zach, and Benson. Then we made it into a pentagon and added Janice. (This is crazy...)
Me and Janice helped Nikhil paint a board white. For what? Don't know...
On the bus, I sat with Dominique and Tien! Tien taught me a "dance move" called "The Angelie"! It's basically a pump (don't remember the term, but it's like moving your chest up), while putting your hand on your chest. And when it thrusts, your hand goes up. And in that cycle. Tien was doing it to "My Love" by Justin Timberlake. (This is a dance move invented by Angelie! Heh!)
Then we started talking about movies. PotC 3 will have Chinese pirates. OOH.
Now I'm home. My hands hurt! And I need to start on my Speech homework! Due tomorrow!

 School's Started Again!
|
Start: 10:43 PM CST
I'm angry. I just closed the screen for my MyOtaku update, and it erased my entire post. But no matter... I'll start again.
So you know, this is a Monday post.
I woke up late... My alarm clock was set to ring at 7 AM, but I was supposed to wake up at 5 AM! No worries though.
Dominique got a Chocolate phone for Christmas!
And guess what? I found out Domonique (girl) isn't moving! YAY! Her mom...something about her job...quitting something...and they didn't to move! Yay! She also got her hair layered...and she wears thick-framed glasses now. (Did she always have those?)
So the morning! We had to go look at our new classes... I'm in the O hallway. Wait...where was that...?
I talked with my Deaf friends and wished them a Happy New Year! Also, the translators were at the table in the morning, talking with the students.
I talked with Victoria and Kathy...in Spanish! And I tried it with Cheeto, but he had no idea what the heck I was trying to say. *laughs*
So...O hallway turned out to be portables outside! But! I have that class with Akhil, Sherman, Mariah, and Jordan! Yay! We talked with each other... Everyone else was SO quiet... (Well, we knew each other, so yah.)
Akhil had two syringes! EEP! Turns out, they were pens...that look like syringes. (That's weird! Can't you get in trouble for that?)
And we talked about how you could die if you get the wrong blood transfusion...
And I drew birds... A duck! A peacock! Another duck!
And there was a Hispanic guy that was having a really friendly chat with the Health coach/teacher. But it turns out, he's in the wrong class.
In Digital Graphics, all the ASL translators got shuffled around, so Geraldine has a new one! Hmm...we're now working on Illustrator...not Photoshop anymore. (I was talking about with Emma in Geometry, and we already hate it! You can't make colorful designs!!!)
Also, Richelle's and Simoya's computers were being weird at the beginning of class... Nonresponsive. (Turns out, plugs were partially unplugged!)
My English class got changed to Ms. Johnson!!! I'm now in English with at least 3/4 of my old English class (we were shuffled around), plus new people I know, like Grant (haven't seen him since the Robotics trip!), Na Nhi (yay!), and Anita!
But...we have work the first day back. Romeo and Juliet is what we're working on now...
Lunch. Err...I sat with the Deaf guys, even though I didn't talk a lot with them. Except talk with Vu and told him that I couldn't believe he didn't come to my party! Then I told him that it was boring and that my neighbor thought it was funeral. But I don't think I translated that correctly...
I talked with Nohemi and Babetta! Turns out, Babetta's in Nohemi's English class (my old one!) now... And she says it's so empty! Everyone's new and stuff...
Also, I saw Domonique! (The boy one...) He's never around our tables...
I was eating fruit, and I saw red stuff on my spoon. I thought, "Eh, it's probably just a cherry or something." But I realized that wasn't it! ...It was...blood! (WHAT THE?!) Turns out, the spoon was CUTTING my lip! (HOW DOES A SPOON CUT YOUR LIP?!)
Geometry. OH MY GOSH. So many people were shuffled around! We're EMPTY AND QUIET NOW!!! Ashley, J.J., Reggie, Emily (Flowers), and a bunch of other people are gone! WAH...
But Fola, Elizabeth, Kevin, Thi, Michelle, and Danny are still here!
Now we're learning about quadrilaterals!
Michelle's bombarded with homework the first day, and she's starting Medical Terminology class! I told her and Danny that I LOVE Medical Terminology. Reaction? They thought I was crazy.
Umm...I was writing Spanish back and forth to Kevin via dry eraser board thingy. Elizabeth told me to stop doing that... *sweats*
Umm...we had to do Frayer method...and for "what is not a quadrilateral", I drew a DUCK. (What was with my weird obsession with ducks at school...?)
So...after that, I headed to the library. Turns out, library's not open after school. SHOOT.
Off to the school bus, where I sat with Tien and Angelie.
Ahh, Tien saw a white van hanging a teddy bear from a pole. (There was a white van, and a ladder on top of it, plus four poles that were supporting the thing the ladder was on.) And Tien said that it might be used to lure children! I exclaimed "Pedobear!" (Yes...I've been hanging around Gaia for TOO long... *runs off*)
Ah! Tien plays MapleStory! Turns out, she's a hacker. She hacks because other people hack, and she's tired of getting hacked, so she's hacking other people. Or something like that. (Confusing, right?)
Aaron got a sex change when he was 7 to a girl. Turns out, his mom wanted a girl and got sad when Aaron turned out to be a boy. Jeffrey repeated my joke! (It's weird... I don't even remember how we got on that subject.)
Well...I walked home with Anita, and we just talked...
Umm...when I got home...I....ate...a LOT.
And my parents went off somewhere for a while and came back...somewhen. (Gee, that's specific.)
I'm lazy! GOOD NIGHT!

Happy New Year! But The Holiday's Ending!
|
Start: 11:22 PM CST
Don't let the date fool ya. It's still Tuesday according to where I live... I just haven't been posting a lot now, eh? Gotta stop this habit!
Well, today's the last day before I go to school. Wednesday's the day I go back to school. DAMMIT! There's so many things I need to buy before I return! (Like a junk drive, for example.)
Ah...so here I am to explain the day.
Saturday/New Year's Eve
Well...you do since my relatives came on Thursday, I had to sleep with my sister on her floor, right? Well, yeah. I wanted to get ready, but most of the time, my uncle and aunt were still changing in my room...
So I finally did get ready, with my scarf on (it's not cold here!!! Why do I keep wearing it?) and my uncle sitting kinda on my aunt's lap right next to me (eight people, seven seats), all of us in the back being crammed...
Church was nice. Umm...I went to go say "Happy New Year!" to Andy, and then he started asking me for li xi. (The Chinese envelopes you get money in for Chinese New Year!) I told him I had no money, and he pulled off my scarf and said that it was made of 100% silk. (I think it's cotton and polyester...) Diana YANKED the scarf off while it was around Andy's neck, and we went home.
We all came home to eat the leftovers from the party... After lunch, my uncle and aunt had to go home. (They took a charter bus here, and my dad had to drive them to their stop.)
So it was quiet for the rest of the day...until...
I wanted to go on the computer since my brother was doing nothing. I kept yelling at him to get off, but he was so unresponsive! So guess what I did? I went to the kitchen and got a knife and sharpened it... (Yes, I was that angry.) So my mom saw it, told me to put it down...
My mom yelled at my brother to get off the computer so I could do my homework. (Yes, never did it!)
But he only went out and locked the computer room.
Now...my brother had stolen my mom's keys for a while, right? Well...I went to his room to ask for them. My brother pretended to be asleep, so I told him that I would start looking around his room if he wouldn't give it to me. I started opening his closet, and what did he do?
He grabbed me, PUSHED ME out of the room, started strangling me, and punched me on my cheek, and I started screaming for help.
My mom came down to break up the fight, and she yelled at him, but she YELLED AT ME TOO! (For picking on him! WHAT THE HECK?! When did that happen?!)
I don't know, I started breaking down, screaming and crying at the same time. This wasn't the first time that's happened. First time it happened, he beat up my sister until she had black bruises everywhere. My mom sent her to a doctor, but my mom said that if the doctor asked what happened, just tell him that she slammed into a door. (Uhh...doors can't slam you on the side, I'm afraid.)
There was a time he tried to attack me with some cooking scissors... And another time where he tried to choke me by grabbing my neck.
And then there was another time where my mom was in the shower, so he PUNCHED through the door (mind you, my front door is part glass) JUST so he could get in!!! I mean, WHAT THE HECK?!
He is SO VIOLENT PRONE! Whenever he doesn't get what he wants, he'll violate a person by choking, taking something sharp, breaking, etc.
He tried to beat up my mom once. (Thank goodness he didn't.)
He needs anger management. But every time he does this, my mom says, "Next time you do this, we're sending you to boot camp!" (Boot camp isn't the correct word, but that's the closest translation I can think of.)
Ugh. Things cooled down later...
And by night, it was okay, ya know? I started hearing people shooting fireworks outside (around 9 PM?), and I thought, "It must be coming from Josué's house." So I put on my shoes and go outside, and yup, it's Josué shooting fireworks with his cousin.
I started watching him, and we did some together. We first did the...M-5000s??? I don't know, but you light them, throw them in the air, and make a loud noise. No pretty sparks or whatever. Then we used sparklers to light up something like a rocket. (Shoot, I need to know more fireworks names!)
Anyways, one was colorful, the other one was small.
Ah, he threw a still-burning incense (or was it a sparkler?) stick and it was still burning, and it got caught on my glasses, and it left a small burn mark there... Aghh...
We played basketball after that, the three of us. Ah, so many times I hit the ball on his dad's truck! (Gah!!!)
Oh yeah. I also spoke Spanish with him and his cousin. He's really one of few people here I'm comfortable speaking Spanish with. And now I don't even see him anymore because of different schools. And Melissa, I don't even see her anymore. Melissa was a Mexican girl in my 8th grade Art class. We were good friends, but now I don't see her...
Soon after, Josué's dad came outside, and saw us hitting the basketball on his truck. So we went to go sit on the back of his truck while he parked it out of the driveway.
Then he played basketball with us! Ahh, that was fun. But I got tired so easily. (I'm out of shape! WAHH!!!)
Oh yeah. Earlier I asked them what was the Spanish word for "fireworks". They didn't know. So I asked his dad this:
"Cual es la parabara en español por 'fireworks'?"
But he didn't understand me (maybe I was speaking too softly...), so I repeated it in English.
"Cuerdas", he said. (I asked him to spell it out though, because I heard "cuertas"...)
I have this problem with Ds and Ts...
And eñes hurt my tongue because of my braces.
Anyways, his dad went in, and I went home (just two houses down!) because I thought I had to go home. (My mom called my cell phone and told me to wake her up at 11:30 PM.) So I found out I could still play!
I went outside and played basketball with his two sisters and his cousin, again. But one of his sisters was wearing high heels, so yeah... *sweats*
Oh yeah! Josué's next door neighbor came to shoot fireworks with us! His family just watched: he was the only one shooting.
It was fun though! Agh, I had been burned twice and deafened at least three times... And after doing all those fireworks, I found burns and scratches I didn't even know I had... *laughs*
I learned his cousin's name... Alfredo! Or Christian. His Spanish's way more fluent than his English, so that's what I spoke most to him. (Even though I didn't know what to say most of the time.) His cousin's elementary, so yah.
We were joking around, and he said that Josué was jota, and he liked me and that we were boyfriends. Josué joked around, and he said, "I love you, baby." I bursted out laughing, and replied to Josué:
Me: ¿Erés tú mi novio?
Josué: Tu madre.
Translation:
Me: Are you my boyfriend?
Josué: Your mom.
Ah...it was midnight, the grand finale! I went into Josué's house, and we watched the countdown from Times Square, New York, on TV! After that, we rushed outside, and started doing more fireworks!
New Year's Day! (This is out of place...)
But before we rushed downstairs, everyone in Josué's family came up to each other and hugged and said, "¡Feliz Año Nuevo!" (I had to say "Año" slowly because my braces were interfering!)
My mom came out to film the fireworks, and I told her to watch Josué's house because we would be shooting them off.
There were a group of black guys and girls walking around the neighborhood throwing fireworks! (Ah, I think I saw Precious! But it was dark...and they were wearing hoods.)
Ah... Later, two Hispanic guys from our neighborhood wanted to race on our bikes, so I ran over to my house...
...said "Chuc Mung Nam Moi!" to my mom, dad, and uncle, and went to get my bike. Then I went to get my garage controller...and then again to get a backpack. (My new jeans were tight, for some reason. Well, little pocket space actually.)
We went racing, but I was SO TIRED halfway there! The second lap, the other two Hispanic guys left us...
Before the second lap though, Josué joked and said that they were all wetbacks, except me. But I was kidding, and I said I was from Ecuador. (Ugh, I mispronounced "Ecuador!") One of the guys there looked white, so I asked if he was Spanish. He said he was Mexican. (Really? You don't look all mestizo...)
We played basketball for a while, then gave up, and went home...around...12:30 AM?
Oh yeah! Josué's family took their pug (breed of dog) to see the fireworks, but it got scared, and started to shake.
I asked, "¿Su perra estoy miedo?" (That didn't sound correct...)
His sisters had asked how much Spanish I knew. (Because Alfie was scaring them, and I asked, "¿Qué estás haciendo?" But they don't understand the word fluido... Well, they don't use it, so yah.
Anyways...back home! At 12:30 AM, we prayed the whole rosary, and after that, my mom, dad, uncle, and I had more leftovers from the party... We stayed up until 2 AM...
I didn't sleep until...2:30 AM? But Diana had locked the door. (Remember? I'm sleeping with her! Even though uncle and auntie left, my mom hadn't cleaned the room yet...)
So sleepy sleepy.
GAH!!! I woke up 30 minutes before church was starting! (I didn't sleep 'til 3 AM?!) So I rushed to get ready, and put on my shoes and rushed, where they were about to leave the street, out of the neighborhood.
So we went to Ngoi Loi Nhap The...
And after that, we went eating at Hong Kong Mall. Kieu Giang. (Uncle and dad saved me and Diana a seat!)
Now, where were Diana and I? We were at Little Surprises! I told the storeowner "Happy New Year!" and she seemed so surprised I said that... (And the TV was playing Disney Channel... When did that happen?!)
So we were eating, but Diana was angry. She didn't want to eat, she wanted to go around and buy stuff! I ordered the wrong thing I wanted to eat that day, but eh.
Diana was pissed... And to make things worse, I was speaking in Spanish with her. I was also trying to teach Ricky Mandarin Chinese at the same time. (He supposedly wanted to learn, but all he learned were four words!!!)
HE COULDN'T EVEN PRONOUNCE "WATER"... *was sad*
Then when I tried talking to Diana, she started signing "Shut up!" over and over, so I started signing angrily at her. (I didn't realize I was making such a scene until I looked around at the group of people waiting in line--the restaurant was crowded.)
Oh yeah! My uncle's lady friend was there! She almost forgot her purse... And my dad and uncle played a trick on her and asked, "Where's your purse?" She panicked and almost ran to the store until I gave it to her... (She left it under the table.)
So my uncle and his lady friend took a taxi (there are taxis here? Vietnamese taxis, I later found out...) to...somewhere... And me and my family went home.
For the rest of the day...we played...computer.
Oh yeah. I was also locked out of Diana's room and didn't sleep until...2:30 AM?
Today/Tuesday
I didn't wake up...until...1:30 in the afternoon.
My sister was playing MapleStory and I wanted to play! But she didn't let me on until 3 PM.
My parents were at Hong Kong Mall, sending money to a relative in Vietnam.
I wanted to go to Wal-Mart.
But when they did get home, we didn't go. I was too addicted to MapleStory. Plus, my mom was angry that my dad couldn't say our names right. He referred to us as Map, Om, and Gai. (Or in English translation: Fatty, Skinny, and Girl.)
How lame is that?
So they got into a fight... And I'm not allowed to say "Da." ("Yes.") to him if he calls me that.
Uhh...so...MapleStory basically.
Around 9-10 PM, I went downstairs to eat.
And...I should get off now, right?
Good night!
School's tomorrow. NOOO!!!!

Trip To Port Arthur, Kathy's Birthday, and So Much More!
|
Start 10:43 PM CST
Ahh! I'm so sorry I haven't posted lately, but I've been having so much fun!!! The new year's starting to end, but it's been real fun...
Tuesday
Umm...stayed home the entire day until my uncle and his lady friend came over in the afternoon and ate with us. Vietnamese sweet-and-sour hot pot. Yum.
Wednesday
Ahh...I was woken up around 9 PM by my dad, saying, "We're going to P.A.!" I was SO sleepy, but I went to my cell phone and called Alaina to tell I was coming over. (She was in Beaumont at the hospital, but she would be home later.)
So my dad picked up my uncle and his lady friend...at a hotel. (My dad wanted them to see his boat.) So...long ride.
I woke up around 2 hours later, and had phoÒ. After that, my dad drove me to Alaina's house.
Ahh...it was nice seeing Alaina again. We caught up, and she introduced me to her new house! We played DDR, got high off the psychedelic backgrounds from DDR, and after that, we went to Wal-Mart. They picked up some blue stuff for next year's Christmas tree (all blue!!! And some gold...) and we headed back. We had pizza, drinks, and then my dad picked me up.
I got orange sticks! (Well, they're orange jelly sticks coated in chocolate.)
Umm...my dad dropped my uncle's lady friend at her house (not HER house, I think...) and we headed home.
I used the computer in my sister's room, and I started feeling all wheezy, like I couldn't breathe. (AHH! Cat hair!!!) So my asthma started acting bad real quick. Ahh...I was like that all night. (And yet, I managed to finish all the chocolates. Weird.)
Thursday
Umm...my mom, dad, and uncle went to Hong Kong Mall and around the Asian shopping areas, but I decided to stay home and do laundry. Of course, I got bored/addicted and started playing Gunbound/MapleStory with Anh Nhi, and Diana came in and distracted me more... (My parents and uncle came home the time my sister entered my room.)
So...I was doing laundry, and then, two "strangers" came into my room! (I don't like doing laundry/chores in front of guest/company!) So I hid my laundry in my closet RIGHT before they came in.
Later...I realized! It was my aunt and uncle from Arlington! (An hour away from Dallas, TX.) I haven't seen them...in more than a year?
Well, I got kicked out of my room. They would be sleeping in my room. So I got to sleep on Diana's floor. (It wasn't that bad!) But I didn't get to sleep around 2 AM... My dad had some chores to do before the party...
I also had to print songsheet... 10x of each song sheet.
Friday
Eep! I was woken up by my dad to tell me to get up (didn't work, actually) in the morning, and then I asked my sister to yell at me to get up. (THEN it worked?!)
I had to print more song sheet. THIS time, my printer was being EVIL to me! It messed up the prints! It either said there was a paper jam (when there wasn't), the words were choppy, and etc.
I swear...one day, I will KILL that printer.
So guests started coming in! Ahh...needed to change, fast. But this time, when I went into my room, it was cluttered with stuff that belonged to my uncle and aunt. My clothes were moved around, and I couldn't find the ones I wanted to wear! (Eventually, I did.)
Anh Nhi came into the room somewhen... 10 AM?
I had to direct traffic to the parking lot from the park across our street. Moonie was standing by the front door... I told her that her sister was upstairs, but she didn't care.
So the "party" started with an hour mass and the priest purifying our house with holy oil. Uhh...during the Eucharist (yes, we did it in my house!), he gave us two each. (He brought too much?)
...Is that a sin? To eat the Body of Christ twice at the same time?
After that, we ate. Oh! And Gwen and her brother Michael came! Gwen showed me Chinese money (but it was that fake kind) and claimed that it cost a thousand dollars? Ahh...me, Anh Nhi, and Gwen were just watching Diana play MapleStory, but Michael came to tell Gwen to eat.
Later, the two others came to eat. It was hard to eat too! So many people crowding, etc. My mom was yelling, angry, frustrated.
Oh, and one of her friends came. Michael and Moonie were talking about high school/college and classes and stuff, and I kinda joined their conversation.
After that, Anh Nhi's parents and Moonie left to go to a car dealership. (Moonie was getting a car!)
But Anh Nhi stayed, and we played Super Smash Bros. Melee with Gwen and Mike. (Short for "Michael"!)
Ahh...eventually, Mike went somewhere, and Gwen was playing video games by herself. I went to go play with her, and then I went back, and Gwen and Mike left a bit after...
By then, a lot of people had left. Even Bac Hoa and Charlie.
Me? I was eating congee (I think that's what it's called...) with Anh Nhi upstairs, watching Diana play MapleStory. She was...temperative. (Is that a word?)
Umm...I went downstairs to eat, but then my mom started talking about me to her friends. (You know Asian parents. OY.) So I got angry and went back upstairs. Anh Nhi and I made a funny saying! It's this:
PhõÒ you to heo!
Which in Vietnamese, means "Vietnamese-noodle-soup you to pig!"
But it sounded like "Fuck you to hell!"
Also, xe dap, which means "bicycle" in Vietnamese, sounds like "shut up" in English.
I checked the clock. It was almost 4 PM. I wanted my dad to drive me to Kathy's house. (It was her 16th birthday!)
So I biked and biked... I was SO TIRED when I got there... But it was fun. I was talking to Melinda about Pokemon 4th Generation (there are new Pokemon!) and secrets on computers. (Hehe, we're SUCH nerds!)
So we went down and ate... Err...who was there? Alex, Sue, Whitney, Janice, Aaron (I saw him out of nowhere!), Chi, Maureen, Annette, Nida, and a new person, Victoria! (Now I know...five Victorias!)
Annette and I were talking about Spanish, Portuguese (me!), and French (Annette!), and their similarities. (Latin languages!)
We were watching "Kodocha", a show which...I CAN'T UNDERSTAND!!! Nida said it was about NOTHING and it was like crack, and I said that the show was "beaming crack into your eyes"... *laughs*
Nickkie and Melinda left...
We had pizza. We were watching videos on YouTube, and it was a Naruto/Dane Cook, describing that there's always a person in a friend group that we didn't like. A.K.A. Karen and Brian. Aaron was Karen. I was Brian. Ahh...it was weird.
Nida said, "Do you guys talk about me?" I said, "Yeah, we talk about you...and how to kill you...with a giant mushroom that appears out of the sky..." (Now, what does a giant mushroom in the sky mean?)
Then, we went to go shoot fireworks! (Yeah, about around 6-7 PM? I can't remember!!!)
Ahh, that was nice! Whitney and Alex were playing with a Mew toy, and I stole it from them, and Kathy took it away from them. Later, they got it back...and went after me for revenge! ("Quiero vivir!!!")
Ahh...a Black Catz blew up by me...and I went momentarily deaf in my left ear. (OW.) I also pretended I was blind. *sweats*
Roman Candles...and sparklers. That's what we did. We also tried to make a bunch of Black Catz blow up at once...with newspaper. That worked...after a few tries. (Cars kept passing by!!!)
After that, we all went in, sang Happy Birthday in English, then another Spanish birthday song, and then the Spanish version of the English birthday song, which goes like "Un cumpleaños (name)..." After that, I added, "Now in Mandarin (Chinese)!" (No one knew. *sweats*)
We had cake and ice cream. Then we turned on the radio.
Err...we were making of Aaron (A.K.A. Karen) and he went into the restroom, and Janice and me followed. Janice said, "It's okay, Karen." But Aaron just needed to come to the restroom. (I knocked on the door, saying, "We need to talk, Karen.") Here's our skit. (We acted it out after Kathy, Alex, Chi, and a bunch of the others came in!)
Remember, I'm Brian, and Aaron's Karen.
Me: We need to talk Karen. I'm sorry, but I can't live like this anymore. You're never around, and you go around, t-touching other girls like that. (Kathy was playing dead, with her feet up, and Aaron was touching her shoulder.) I'm sorry, but we're through.
Aaron: Wait, don't leave Travis!!!
Me: Who's this Travis, huh?
(All the girls around us start bursting out laughing.)
Aaron: Uhh...it's just a friend. *picks up cell phone, pretending "Travis" is calling him* Yeah, Travis, I...wait just a second.
Me: I'm sorry, but we're through.
Aaron: NOOOOO!!!!!!
Well...it was something like that. I'm too sleepy to remember it. But it was funny. (We should be in acting!)
"Karen" was gone after that... I think Nida left around that time too.
Oh, we went downstairs, and found Chi, Janice, Kathy, and some other girls chasing Aaron around the house. Kathy's dad teased him and told him to tell them the first girl that touches him gets a kiss. *bursts out laughing*
Then we opened up presents. They were all nice, but I feel guilty that I didn't get her anything. Aaron got her "air"...
After that, Chi had to leave. (I saw Dai!)
Err...everyone went upstairs, except for me, Alex, and Victoria, who were listening to the radio.
We were just talking, about school and stuff.
Ah, Victoria went up to one of her teachers and showed him a picture of a J-Rock group and said, "Are they pretty?" (You know how a lot of J-Rock groups with boys look like girls?) The teacher said, "Yeah, they're attractive..." and she screamed out, "HAH! THEY'RE GUYS!"
She tried the same trick again the day after, and he said, "So are they another gay boy band?" *bursts out laughing*
Oh, Victoria told me that Dir En Grey is coming to Houston February...12? (Or 14? Or 18?) Anyways, it's in the "teens" date. Oh yeah, it was the 18th. Ahh...we're gonna try something, like wear neon clothes to get to try to notice him! And we're all gonna have to cut Sunday school... (Since the concert's on a Sunday.)
Ahh...we imagined Kyo hissing, "Come closer... I want to touch you..." if we wore neon clothes! (I want a neon green visor and a neon green vest/jacket thing!)
Ahh...my dad called me, and asked me for the directions to Kathy's house. (It was 10 minutes before 10 PM.)
We all went upstairs to watch Dir En Grey "lyric" mishaps. You know when lyrics sound like they're saying something else than the true meaning? Yeah. There are some songs where they're trying to speak English, but it sounds...WEIRD.
Oh, my dad came after we started watching the second one. I hugged Alex bye, said bye to Kathy and her parents, wishing them a "¡Feliz Año Nuevo!" and took my bike, putting it into the back of my dad's truck.
Oh yeah. I talked some Spanish with her parents. (I need to use my Spanish more!)
¿Cómo estás haciendo?
I learned that from Victoria. It means "What are you doing?"
Ahh...now I'm home, and I just finished typing up my post. I'm about to go to sleep.
Somewhen while we were watching those Naruto/Dane Cook online movies, my mom called me, asking me where I was, so Moonie could pick me up. (Why would Moonie need to pick me up?) I found out my mom and Moonie couldn't find Anh Nhi and Diana! I told them to check the rooms...
Guess what? They were in Diana's bedroom. (Yes, you go all panicky because you can't find my sister and friend, and you never bother to check my sister's bedroom.) Oy.
Going to sleep now!
Feliz Ano Novo!
Happy New Year!
¡Feliz Año Nuevo!
(Eh, I'm a day or two early.)
Bye!
P.S. Also, I'm not sure whether it was Thursday or Friday, but Melanie/Trangie received my gift in the mail! She said she loves it so much and that she wore it for two days! What is it? It's a sterling silver (or so the store says) Hello Kitty necklace, around a heart. It's really nice! Also, she said I wrote a lot on her card... *laughs*

Confusing Christmas...
|
Start: 9:37 PM CST
I had the most CONFUSING Christmas ever. Let me tell you why.
Saturday
I was woken up by my dad, and my mom said we had to go around cleaning the whole house, trying to get ready for Christmas.
In the computer room, I was cleaning the food crumbs and dust off the computer, and I tried cleaning the mousepad. I saw this string coming off, and I pulled it. What happened? A chunk of mousepad came off! (I just destroyed an antique mousepad... *cries*)
Sunday/Christmas Eve
I went to church around 11:30 PM, at Vu's church! I tried looking for Vu, but he wasn't there...
We went to go eat at CiCi's Pizza, but I told everyone to rush, so I could go Christmas shopping. I wanted to stop by Bogard Village so I could go to that Sanrio-like store to buy stuffed animals for my friend's Christmas presents! We never did, so this is what happened...
Well, first, we stopped by Mercado, which is a flea market close by. And it means "store" in Spanish! Ahh...I thought it would suck, but it was so cool inside! All this stuff I couldn't find in regular stores! And there was even a store that sold katanas! (Only 18+ people could buy them.)
There was a sign by the store. It said:
"We are not responsible for you being stupid!"
That was funny.
And I found this controller that has 1,000+ old NES video games on it. Ahhh... And another store that sold wind chimes, and...ARGH! I can't go on! But we couldn't find our parents for a while...and they called my phone, and we went outside.
I wanted to buy something, but my sister wouldn't let me. GRR.
We stopped by Viet Hoa, where my dad said for us to stop.
But I got curious. I saw a jewelry store, and me and my sister started looking around.
I picked out two things for Alaina, and one for Melanie. Diana, on the other hand, picked out three jade bracelets/necklaces for herself.
When I went to the cashier, it rang up: $99. I was so surprised, but I still paid the price, too embarrassed to say "no".
So I went into the grocery store where my parents were shopping, and they got REAL MAD. My dad came first and started yelling about how cheap the jewelry was. But the cashier kept yelling that it was real jade, and such. My dad wanted to return it, but all he yelled about was that the jewelry was cheap... (He kept saying that she charged us a ton of money and how he could go to another store and buy the same thing for $2... OY.) The cashier (a woman) got real sad...
I went to go outside, and my dad, in a fit of rage and fury, grabbed the bag full of jewelry and stomped on it. I grabbed it as quickly as I could. (Too late: They were broken now.)
Now my mom tried. AHHH...still didn't work! Now they started yelling...in Chinese.
My mom and dad kept saying that we were little and that we didn't know how to use money. That cashier woman said that her son was 9 years old and that he had more sense than us. (They were yelling at each other in Mandarin Chinese...)
And then her husband got involved. And then my mom got the police involved. The policeman couldn't help either. He said that it was her store, and she could do whatever she want.
But the woman...she covered her "no return" sign behind a lot of things. And the policeman said that next time, she should move her signs to a more seeable area.
So we left... My parents were so angry, and they were yelling at us...
$99 wasted on jewelry, and then my dad stomped on it until it broke.
But when I got home, I found out only 2 of the 6 pieces of jewelry were broken! (Both things I got for Alaina were broken...but none of Diana's was broken. Hah, she got the expensive stuff.)
My stuff: $33
My sister's stuff: $66
She never looks at the price. (I had the money. But for my sister? I had to pay FOR HER.
Now I'm too scared to go into that store! (And I liked that store!!!)
Her husband still wants us to shop there though. I hope they can forgive my parents... *sniffs* And me. (I know I did nothing to them, but they might be angry at me.)
Ahh...we had to do chores. Scrub the top-floor bathrooms clean. (And there are two...) Toilet, sink, bathtub, floor, etc.
After that, we went to our Christmas Eve mass...
We went to Ngoi Loi Nhap The, and the church was SO CROWDED!!! I found Dianna, and she helped me and Diana dig through the crowd... We stood on the right side of the church...and then she left us.
Church was so peaceful. There was this little Nativity scene, with Mary, Jesus, and these little kids dressed as angels. There was one girl who went up to sign "What Child Is This?" It was so cute! But I could hear lots of Vietnamese people talking amongst themselves while she was doing this. (How mean!)
Well...after church, I went to go say hi/bye to everyone and wish them a Merry Christmas. I said it to Dianna, Dalena, Anne (Dianna's and Dalena's eldest sister), John, and there were so many people, I can't remember!
It was...11 PM by then. I had a root beer, then stayed up until 2 AM on the computer. Then I went to sleep.
Monday/Christmas Day
Ahh...we went to church around 10:30 AM, but we were so rushed! My mom said we were going to church around 7 PM, but my dad said there wasn't any church then.
So we rushed off to church! (I brought my scarfie: I haven't worn this since Lubbock, three/four weeks ago!)
Umm...so then my parents start driving to EVERY Vietnamese church in Houston!!! ARGHH!!! My parents believe that if you stopped at every Vietnamese church on Christmas in Houston and prayed there, then your wish will come true.
So we stopped at:
St. Justin Martyr (We went to church in the morning here.)
Ngoi Loi Nhap The (My usual church!!! SO EMPTY...)
Notre Dame
By now, we had gone for sandwiches. And then we started driving towards North Houston!
Then we went to:
Lo Duc
La Vang
But for La Vang, the doors were locked, so we couldn't come in.
Next was such a strange place. It was a very small church, built only to fit...maybe 100 people? But it was so beautiful...
The church was made of a sand-colored brick, and there was a very beautiful garden, with a square (it's actually a circle) with a statue in the middle. I think it was St. Francis of Assisi.
There weren't much people there...except the priest and a young man. (Poor priest. Alone on Christmas Day...)
After praying, Diana, Ricky, and I went outside, to find two black dogs with gold/orange eyes. They were so pretty. But so cold. And lonely. There was a girl and a guy dog. The girl one was trying to chew on a piece of bone covered in ants. It was so sad...
But we had to leave...
Now to another part of Houston! We went to the church that we went to the Crawfish/Spring Festival last April... But I don't know the name.
We prayed outside since the doors were lock. (And it was past sunset by this time.) A woman (the only car there) parked and walked to the chapel (in the far back) and asked when church started. But we didn't know. And there was probably no church then anyways.
We went to go order at Sonic... I had the fries. No salt. Then we listened to music on the radio...and circled the city...
We stopped by the airport to pick up our uncle!
At first, I was signing and talking to my sister at the same time. (I was real excited. Why? Because I wanted to hear people speak foreign languages!!!)
So I walked around with my sister, and we sat by the edge, and we looked at pictures on my phone, and then she took my scarf and pretended she was a penguin!!! *laughs* (My scarf is black on one side, and on the other side, it's a white/ivory.)
There were also two Middle Eastern kids (about our age) walking around, waiting for someone too.
I tried looking around for gift shops...but the only one opened was the one I went to when we first came into that area of the airport. They were selling Texas-themed stuff. Shirts, keychains, etc. Well, it was Christmas, so I would understand.
And then...our uncle came! Like...an hour later?!
Ahh...but there was another woman who came to pick him up! (Kinda like a escort/taxi driver.)
Ooh...my uncle's a player. (EWWW...)
While we were waiting outside, there was a young...Vietnamese (I dunno, but he was Asian) guy that asked my dad if he had a lighter. My dad didn't smoke, but a chaffeur, a tall, bald, white man in a black leather jacket was waiting by a black car. (Why does that feel so clichèd?)
But we drove ALL the way to Hobby Airport (about an hour away?) for NOTHING... GWAHHH!!!
I spent the rest of the night on the computer. OH! Diana and I left our computers on since church, and we were both on MapleStory. It said:
"You have played MapleStory for 11 hours(s). We suggest you quit playing."
Or something like that.
But we left it for 11 HOURS!!! OH MY GOSH...
Tuesday/Today
I was woken up by my cell phone. One of my dad's friends calling me. (He gave me his old cell phone number.)
Umm...my dad wanted me to go to the mailbox (a block away) and mail some letters. OH! That reminded me! I had to mail Melanie/Trangie's gift! So my dad helped me break into my parent's closet (when my mom's not home, no one's allowed inside) and helped me get a card, an envelope, and he even got a stamp!
Well...I wrote her letter, stuck the present in (not telling you what it is!!! She KNOWS my website...) and delivered it.
Hope it doesn't get lost!
And all day, I stayed home and played on my laptop...
Around...2-3 PM, my parents drove our uncle from Vietnam home and his lady friend from yesterday. They talked, watched TV, and then had dinner.
I came down for dinner, and my dad wanted me to talk to my uncle. Problem was, my uncle ONLY spoke Vietnamese, and I'm too shy to speak Vietnamese with adults.
So I ate...and heard my dad and uncle talk about stuff from Vietnam...
My sister came down to eat too.
Oh! Vu's coming to my party. And OH!!! ALAINA CAN COME!!! YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
My parents, plus my uncle and his girlfriend went to Moon Cafe. (Hey, wasn't my mom screaming a few weeks ago about how it was a stupid place because it was strip club?)
WEIRD...
Anyways, they're not home right now.
I should do laundry.
And post up my new theme. (I did, but it turned out UGLY, so I'm re-doing it!)
Merry Christmas to all!!!!

Last Week of School/Beginning of Winter Break!
|
Start: 7:29 PM CST
I know, I know, I'm SO LAZY! It's Friday, and I hadn't posted since last Sunday... So here goes:
Monday
Beginning of exams! Ahh...so many people were trading gifts with each other. Umm...Dominique (girl) walked up to me and handed me a gift. It was a rabbit Beanie Baby!!! YAY!!! I also walked around wearing my Santa hat that day!
Fitness - We sat down and watched "Little Rascals" on a projector instead of our final. Then I listened to Lauren's radio player.
P.E. - Urrr...Whitney was talking about his next birthday party. He's having his Sweet 16 on December 30th...the same day as my family's Christmas party!!! UGWAHH!!!
English - We finished watching "How To Kill a Mockingbird"... No wait. I don't think we finished the movie yet. Can't remember.
In Lunch, I wore Daniela's reindeer hat! Oh yeah!!! Someone started a food fight!!! There were signs of it starting earlier too. I was sitting, signing to Geraldine that we should run, and suddenly, food started flying everywhere! (AGH! I got water on my hand...and for some reason...IT BURNS!!!) Geraldine and Ileana got blue Gatorade on their white clothes...
Then we went to World Geography...where we took our tests. GAH!!! I kept nodding off during the test! (I think the teacher could tell...)
Gwendolyn came to our house that day! But I was too busy getting ready for my exams to play with her... (And it's sad. I only get to her every six months...) I really did want to play with her! (I think this happened not on Monday... Not sure.)
Tuesday
Second exam day! But it was a half-day!
GAHHH! I woke up late!!! What happened? Well, when the alarm rang, I turned it off and went back to sleep! When my mom screamed for me to wake up, my bus had already left!!!
My dad drove me to school, after my mom had a fit with me. (I spent 20 minutes just to get ready, when I had already woken up 20 minutes late.)
In the morning, I talked with Vu for a bit, and he's so happy that we only had two more days until school ended!
In Digital Graphics class, I had to sign for Geraldine...until Ms. Thompson came. (YAY!) We were supposed to make a holiday card, for any holiday we chose.
Extra credit: Take your tiling project and make a present out of it.
Well...I did Easter! I did lots of pastel colors, but I added my own touch: techno! Techno pastel, with lots of shimmering/falling lights... Sounds pretty, right?
But I spent SO MUCH TIME on making the Easter eggs!
Note: I did all of it from scratch, even though we didn't have to.
I added the bunny last minute. *sweats* I tried to design it in Hello Kitty form though...
Note: GET A JUNK/FLASH DRIVE!!!!!!
Geometry - I was trying really hard, but I guessed on so much of it!!! WAH.
I was walking home, and three guys (dressed in a "ghetto" way?) were walking their dogs. One of them, Hispanic (the other two were black), asked me if all of our district got off school early. I told him "yeah" and that it would be like this for the rest of the week.
Uhh...after lunch, I fell asleep in front of the T.V.! (On the floor!) I got home and finished lunch around 1-2 PM? And I woke up, in front of my T.V. and headed to bed, where I woke up at 3:30 PM??? (I was supposed to be gone LONG AGO!!!)
So...my dad drove me to Wal-Mart!
I picked up my wire, rubber bands, and did some small grocery shopping.
Then we headed to Home Depot, where we bought two pansies. A tall purple one with little leaves, and a short yellow one with lots of leaves.
Oh yeah! I bought candy for my friends! It's for Christmas and such. My dad kept making me buy these expensive candies when I wanted to buy them regular chocolates and stuff. (But in the end, it worked out, ya know?)
I also bought four expensive gift bags...with nothing in them. (I'll use three of them for my family's gifts!)
Wednesday
Ah! Another exam day... Err... I packed my candies and my flowers and off we went!
Umm...I handed around my candies and I think I forgot some people... (Like Akhil and Vy! OY!!!)
English... Huh. I wore my cap again...and I was SO LOST on the exam because I didn't finish reading "To Kill a Mockingbird"!!! GRRR... In the end, I didn't answer my essay question. I could come back later.
In IPC, I put my flowers by the window in the back and took my test. I FORGOT MY ELEMENTS CHART...IN MY LOCKER!!! But...I still managed to do okay with it. I guessed though. *sweats* And then I went to my English class to finish my exam!
Uhh...after everyone finished, we started playing VC! (Xing, Anthony, and...someone else?) I had first move, and I played down a 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, and J! (Since first player--holder of the 3 of spades--gets to do anything!) But the teacher yelled at me to go sit down at my seat... GRR...
Umm...I waited for Karen, and I rode to her house, carrying my bag and flowers!
On the bus, we were made fun of... Dondria, Emma, a girl in front of Karen. That girl asked if I was her boyfriend. (NOOO!!!)
I found out Jan and Nick ride that bus!
And I found out Reggie was sitting behind us! He was asking if we were boyfriend/girlfriend and why we were going to Karen's house. I explained to him that we were doing a Science Fair project, but he responded that a guy and girl don't come over just to do a science project. (EH?!) And then another guy started singing a song about...temperature rising...? (Oh yeah, while this was happening, me and Karen were looking down-ish, and the rest of the bus were looking at us. *gasps*)
So we walked to Karen's house. I was introduced...kinda...to Gypsy! Karen's dog. It reminds me SO MUCH of James! I also met her mom, who fixed us lunch and headed off back to work.
So mid-lunch, her brother, Robert, came home, with his friend. Umm...we started working on the project a bit later. The rubber bands were too big to go around the graftings!
We borrowed her brother's (I think) laptop, but he came down to hang with us because he was lonely. And then he played MapleStory on the laptop.
Uhh...we had rubber bands, so we started flicking each other with it like crazy. (I was too busy working on the project.) Two flowers died during the rubber band war. WAH.
Umm...Karen and I went for a walk (Karen's mom was coming home from work then and saw us on the street) and we wandered "yonder" (I kept saying that word!!!) over to a creek, with lots of grass, and we raced. There was also this steep hill with a bridge on it to oversee stuff. But looking down just gave you this "splat!" feel... UGH.
So it started raining, and we ran home.
Karen's mom was working on snowman cards, and Karen came to help. Karen's dad also came home, with gifts! My dad called soon, though, and told me to come home. So Karen and her mom took me home... (I fell asleep on the ride!) Also...I left my tools at Karen's house!!! (She told me she would give them to me tomorrow.)
Um...when I got home, they admired the lights and I invited them in. My mom got us glasses (cups, not the eyewear!), ice, and root beer, and we had a conversation. They left a bit later, with my mom giving them a bag of persimmon cookies she had baked last night.
Karen's mom thinks my mom is sweet, but my mom is sweeter. *laughs*
I wanted Diana to meet Karen, but she didn't want to leave her room. UGH.
Thursday
Hmm... What did I do...? OH YEAH! Dominique (boy) bought a gift for Domonique (girl) from Victoria's Secret! When people first saw the bag, they thought he bought her a bra, or panties, or something of the sort. (How mean. But it is weird to see a boy in that store, ya know?)
Umm...in the morning, there was a group of teachers reading the Bible from the podium, but most people weren't paying attention. There was also Christmas singing. I told my Deaf friends that there was music and reading, but they didn't seem to care. (Duhhh... *sweats*) Ivan just said to put your thumbs down and say "BOOO!!!" *laughs*
This is one of Karen's scenarioes:
Karen's friend: Someone's reading a book right now.
Karen: It's the Bible.
Karen's friend: That's the Bible? Isn't it supposed to be smaller?
I also got a newspaper! YAY!
Transition - We did nothing. I did anime portraits of Laura and Dondria though! They turned out good...I think. I think they could've been better.
P.E. Dressing out was our exam! Urr...I went outside to play soccer, and I was goalie, but I did nothing...really. (I was on the side where no one was.)
I also got an invitation to Whitney's Sweet 16! It's casual/non-formal, but I don't think I can make it. GARGGH.
Later, after the soccer game was through, I went inside to hang with Whitney and Jonathan.
Akhil and I left the gym early, and entered the building. I went to go check in the Art room to see Karen (and my Deaf friends) and wish them all a "Merry Christmas"!
Umm...I didn't take the bus home. I rode to Sue's party with Vy and Kai! Huy was also there, and her dad was driving. We ate candy...and I fell asleep. *sweats*
We got lost on the way to Sue's house...kinda.
Me: There! It's the house with closed garage!
Vy: The closed garage....?!
(A lot of them were closed... *laughs*)
We got there around 1 PM, but Kai and Vy couldn't stay long. Vy was going to San Jose that day, and Kai was going to another friend's party, I think.
More people came... Sobia, Nickkie, Melinda, Kathy, Chi, Zach, Nam, Nida, Mari, Annette, and oh! Sobia's cousin, Remshaw. (I think that's how it's spelled.)
So...I was helping make cakes, and then I found out Kai and Vy had left!!! NOO!!! Sobia had to rush to go get their presents, but they already left.
Uhhh...Melinda, Nida, and Nickkie went off to Janice's house. She had to stay to make our gifts. Chi and Zach went to go look for them later, but I went ahead, and they told me to go back.
What did we do? Eat...
Nickkie gave me a diabetes cake! (Laden with rainbow sugar, M&Ms, chocolate, and icing!) Aaron and Vy helped, so yay! (But it was...TOO SWEET! GAH!!!)
P.S. I offered Vy some, but she was scared of eating her own cake. STUPID. It's not poison! ...Or is it...?
Ah. We just traded gifts around and had lots of fun!
Sue got a gingerbread man...which she was scared of. I picked it up and started laughing like crazy at it. *sweats*
Nam was being silly the whole time. He made a fort in the middle of two couches, and took their cushion parts. I joined in his "army" and hid in there, but it was so squished.
He wore make-up...and Sue's red dress. (OH MY GOSH!!!)
He also refused to get down one time, and we had to bribe him to get down...
I also kissed his cow plushie (one of his presents) a lot and ran off with it. He kicked me once. Ow.
The cow is now Nam's child. I asked who the mother was. He moved his cow child's hand to a lamp.
So...
Nam + lamp = cow???
WHAT?! (So he DID IT with a lamp and the lamp gave birth to a cow.)
Casserole (came later) thought Nam was emo...
Nam wanted to sit alone a lot.
He went outside and tried to make friends with spiders. (That was, like, around 2 PM?) Here's the scenario:
Me: *holds Nam's shoulders* Did you take your medicine today?
Nam: It's at home...
Me: Don't worry, I bet there's some here. I think Sue takes the same kind of medicine that you do...
Sue: ARGHHH!!!!!!!!
She chased me and kicked me and stuff. *bursts out laughing*
If you didn't know, the medicine we were referring to was "medicine for crazy people". *sweats*
Lots of people started to leave. Zach and Nam left first, and then Annette and Mari left later.
The place was so messy by now, with food everywhere...and presents.
Sobia gave me Diana's gifts. She thought she would've been there that day...
More of Sue's friends came over! Jackie, Melissa, and Casserole. They only stayed over a bit... Melissa played lovely piano songs, and they left...an hour or so later.
Oh yeah! We took pictures...and before they took pictures, I went crazy, and attacked Melinda with pillow, and she punched me in the spine. She also did that again later...
I think I have spinal cord injury... *sweats*
OH YEAH! Kathy was addicted to the PS2 game, Okami, that ENTIRE TIME! It was so fun! Earlier, Zach sarcastically said that it was hard to draw circles. (When Kathy had to draw a circle, she drew a weird...eight. *laughs*)
Everyone started watching Supernatural at 8 PM, but at that time, my dad got REAL ANGRY because he couldn't find Sue's house. I had to go out to tell him where to go, then head back in to get my stuff. (GAH!!! I forgot the slice of cake I was gonna give to Diana!)
Oh yeah. Helen came...RIGHT BEFORE Supernatural started. It was my first time meeting her, so yeah!
Oh yeah! We also played with a parrot that recorded our voices and said it back! (That was fun!)
So I got home, showered, and my mom was about to punish me, but didn't...
Friday
I was awakened around 8-9 AM to help clean the house. I was cleaning the computer room, and I took out the window screen so the dust would all go outside.
Oh, I was cleaning the mouse, and I saw a "string" coming out from the mousepad. I pulled it...and I tore a PART of the mousepad's rubber bottom! *cries*
My dad put in the window part for me.
Ugh...the rest of my day was filled with going on the computer...and worrying about that mousepad...and how to replace it. (What's wrong with me?! We can still use it!)
Also, my computer started messing up. I found out that my sister had downloaded Limewire on Friday, and I removed it. But...it still had bad side effects, and I tried to fix those.
It seems like those symptoms have gone away.
GRR...my sister always downloads stupid stuff on my computer and then messes it up! I'm tired of cleaning computers! (They're gonna have to learn how to do it themselves!!!)
Oy. Tired... I'm gonna go laundry.

Puahahas!!! I'm Back From the Dead!
