Hey everyone! Nice to see you all again! I'm glad you enjoyed the pictures!
However... Vanessa, how did you guess I was Tonks?! Was it the pink hair, or have I told you before??? Not sure...
Anyways... Yesterday, I finally went to sleep early! School starts next Monday, so my mom was trying to train me not to sleep so late at night and to sleep early! However, my sleeping schedule's been screwed to the point where I can't fall asleep until...3 PM? (I mean, I'll get into bed around 11 PM, but I can't relax, and I tend to twist around too much...)
So, what's happening with me?
Well...... My cousin from Mexico is coming to visit us soon! I know, I know! You're probably thinking, "Travis!!! I thought you were Asian!" Yes, well... I just found out about it today too...
I kid, I kid! It's actually my mom's long-lost friend back from 30 years ago! They somehow got back into contact, and he's coming to visit with his wife and daughter!
They're actually a Chinese family that lives in Mexico... It seems a bit weird to me, but hey, what do I know?
And...this would be an AWESOME time to practice my Spanish! I can't practice my Chinese, because they're Teochew, and...I don't know Teochew. *laughs*
Risa's heading back to Austin tomorrow! Everyone's school is beginning to start again, and O-Risa-Mommy-san has to head back to university again... I'm not gonna see her until Christmas... *sniffs*
Awi is starting college, but we won't see a lot of each other anymore. (Dammit, and we promised that we'd bake each other brownies!!!)
In other news...
I tried to cook curry with apples today. A very WEIRD try, but I sort of liked it! It was spicy, yet sweet at the same time. I've always wanted to try new experimentations of putting different foods together! So today, I tried doing apples and curry. Apples have the same texture as potatoes, but a slightly sweeeter taste. *nods*
Also, I went to go play tennis with Mohit today! It was kind of...out-of-the-blue, shall we say? We had planned on going swimming, but yesterday, Mohit said that the pool closed two weeks ago! Well...guess our surprise when we saw little kids swimming in the pool. (Darnit Mohit, darnnnn you!!!!!)
He made me bike around his entire neighborhood, trying to find him. I ALMOST managed to sneak up on him...but he saw me before I tried to take out my tennis racket and beat him up relentlessly with him. (I kid!)
As we were walking to Bush, Mohit was talking about his new phone! (Yeah, he got a new one!) He said he liked the feel of the phone sliding up and down his pocket as he was walking... I just replied, "You're weird..." (How was I supposed to take that again?)
And so... We finally got to the tennis courts. Band was having its practice, so we got to hear band music while we played.
I got tired fast during playing, and then he started making fun of me of me calling him "unhealthy"... Grr...
A Nigerian man, who was coming to pick up his daughter (I think) asked to borrow my phone, and in return, he showed us how to play correctly. He was a pretty nice man: You don't see people like him walking around anymore. *is sad*
And guess who I found on the other court? Andrew and his dad! It was weird seeing him again... And very awkward... (If you knew me two years back, you would remember the scary psychic guy I was telling you about...)
So, around 5 PM, me and Mohit went home...
When we were walking home, I made a note that I was starting to tan. Mohit said, "Good!" Then he said something like, "Hey, I'll trade skin pigments with you... I can't believe those people who want to be tan! I want to be white!"
In this short little rant, it kind of shocked me that he was ashamed of the color of skin he was... (He's Indian...) I mean, he's not ashamed, but it's weird how so many people grew up thinking that being white was beautiful. I mean, yeah, sure some white people are good-looking, but the fact of wanting to be a different skin color and not yourself kind of bothers me...
Hmm... I'm sure it's nothing too big. But it bothers me... I was watching this thing about interracial dating online yesterday, and it brought up gay people as well. There was this Asian gay guy that was talking about he loved dating white guys... It wasn't until one of his professors asked him why he hated his own race did he start to question it...
I mean, you grow up in a place full of white people, you're going to grow up thinking white people are beautiful. You grow up in ANY place where something is beautiful (for example, a place where pink hair is beautiful), and that'll basically follow you for a long, long time...
I don't know, maybe I'm thinking too much of this, but I'll put it aside for now.
Mohit and I basically started talking about drug-based stories (The "Mario" series is based off drugs!) and disease-based poems (do you know what "Ring Around the Rosie" REALLY means?!?!), and we had fun talking about "House" too! Then, we split up and went our different ways.
When I got home... I washed my dad's shoes (oh, odd!), and showered. Prayed, then I started cleaning the bathroom. (I'm not done yet...)
So... Yeah, that's pretty much it.
Tomorrow, me and Alex are going on our annual ride to Burger King! We do this EVERY year, and it's basically a tradition, so we'll be doing it again. I just can't believe school's starting again so soon...
Oh yeah! I forgot to talk about yesterday! Mohit showed me a feed of the Projekt Revolution live from MySpace, and we both realized how much we loved Linkin Park!
Oh, and today, Risa got me hooked on Arashi!
We're a big family that LOVES rock, pop, techno, and technopop!!! YEAHHHH!!!!
Enough of that. Hmm... I introduced Mohit to some French music, and he thought it was cool, but got suddenly quiet after that. Strange...
I guess he was too busy playing with his new phone. Bwahaha. (Yeah, he got it YESTERDAY, not today.)
I forgot everything I did that day... Sorry!
Bye now!
