Start: 6:40 PM CST Hey guys!!! Hehe, yeah yeah, I know I should've posted yesterday, but eh... WHY DIDN'T I?! I HAVE NO IDEA!!! *screams* Saturday Well, I woke up probably somewhere around...9-10 AM? What did I spend that whole morning? Well, in the early mornings, I heard a LOT of wind and rain and stuff being pushed around outside, and yet, when I looked outside, there had been no evidence of rain... WEIRD. o_O;; Well, I called the Hyatt hotel in Houston to check on the Shiokaze-con, and what time it would start. The person who picked up had that EERIE happy-fake voice, and after being on hold for who-knows-how-many minutes, she told me to visit the site: www.shiokazecon.com... That didn't help! @_@!!! So around 9 AM, I went downstairs, and my mom wanted me to make pancakes!!! So yeah, I did... It was fun, I guess... And yet, it was time consuming... ^^;; (Who knows how long passed? Oh yeah. We also ran out of milk...) Well, the making the pancakes was a bit...hard. I used an electronic-powered stove to fry them, and they turned out to be circular-shaped...kinda. Some of them were smaller and some were larger, but it was okay. XP (My dad said it tasted soo good, but he kept picking them off the plate and saying it was for my brother Ricky... -_-;;) Gosh, if he wants to eat them, why not say he wants to eat them? I got angry when people tried to eat my pancakes, since I wanted to finish the whole batch... But my mom called me "greedy". I'm not greedy! I just wanna finish all the batter in the mixing pan and then let them eat it! (She says by the time I finish, everyone would have collapsed of hunger. o_O;;) Well, there was a lot of batter... But I tried to use it in a metaphor for her. To me, eating the pancakes while I'm not finished is like them trying to eat raw meat while I'm trying to stir-fry food... But she said the pancakes were cooked already, and that I was just making up stuff so I could eat all the pancakes for myself!!! GRR... -_-;; Well, my brother was watching that "Pokemon: The Mastermind of Mirage Pokemon", and we both noticed that ALL THE CHARACTER'S VOICES WERE DIFFERENT!!! I remember a few months or weeks ago, that they said 4Kids changed all the actor's voices because it would be cheaper for them... GAH, it's all about money for them??? (Yeah, the woman that played Ash's voice played his voice for...8+ years, and now, she's being replaced... GRR.) Brock sounds like an old man now... Misty sounds almost the same (except the subtlety... When she yells, she sounds even more preppier...), and Ash's voice is a bit deeper... May sounds more...older, and Max, you can't really tell, except there's a slight subtlety... So after I was done with all that, I took out an apple, chopped it up, and I made apple syrup and poured it into a batch of pancakes. I asked my mom if it was "pretty", and she said "Oh my gosh... When you grow older, you're gonna be big." ("Big" as in "fat" I guess... She doesn't like me making anything with pure sugar, like caramel, or syrup.) Still, it was pretty... EXCEPT THE SYRUP WAS TOO THICK!!! (Add too much sugar into the syrup, and it will harden and become rock candy.) So guess what?! I couldn't go to the anime convention! My dad said it was an hour drive's away... (True that, it was by the Minute Maid Park in Houston... It was being held in downtown Houston...) Also that, he said I would be there for too long, and he would have to wait for me the whole day... -_-;; And he said it cost too much... ($25 to get into a convention? That's not so bad...) And then he went on about gas prices, and all that stuff... So yeah, I couldn't go. I spent my time on the computer, and I watched some anime with my sister on YouTube. Oh my gosh, I finally finished the whole series of "Air", and it made me cry, especially the last episode!!! I don't wanna spoil it for you, so I won't say anything... But you can watch it if you want. Trangie says she won't cry unless it's based on a true story... She says that gives her a REASON to cry... (o_O?) In the meanwhile, Chi was watching a Korean drama translated into Vietnamese... My dad came home with phõÒ later, and Diana and I ate it... After that, I went back up to watch an episode of "Cardcaptor Sakura", but my brother wanted to go on, so I had to leave... (I was talking to Chi and Trangie then...) Well, after that, my sister and I were home alone with my brother on the computer... I tried practicing making soft caramel, but it came out hard again... (Hehe, my sister and I like making shapes out of it... It almost looks like gold ribbon... ^^) And if you stretch it out long enough, it looks like hair. XP Well, my parents came back, and I just dissolved all the caramel outside in a bucket of water... But I looked at the bonsai pot by the group of trees. (I had left my bonsai tree outside to get some sunlight and a bit of water and stuff...) My tree wasn't there!!!! I thought I knew what happened to it... I looked in the garbage can, and there it was... GRR. (I KNEW it was my dad.) I came in the house, asking who broke my tree, and my mom pointed to my dad... GRR. I was so angry. I tried going upstairs to my room and repotting the tree, but the roots were gone already... I just went downstairs again... My dad "claims" that it was the strong winds from last night that broke the tree... But if it WERE broken by the wind, it wouldn't have been snapped off so cleanly... And the rocks would've still been there!!! (It looks like someone dug a hole around the plant...) So yeah, I was unhappy... And in the late night, my sister and I watched Inuyasha and Fullmetal Alchemist. Hehe, we haven't seen it in a long time... Ooh, it's Sara the flute player. I've seen part of that episode in Japanese... Very interesting. But it kinda ruined the ending for me... *sniffs* Quote: Hughes' Wife: It's here!!! Officer Hughes: The tea? Hughes' Wife: THE BABY!!! Hehe, my sister and I found that so funny... XP (Mrs. Hughes was pregnant with the baby, and they were celebrating Ed's birthday...) Sunday Well, I woke up in the morning, possibly around...8 PM... Hehe, I opened my window blinds, and the sun was shining through it! (Sounds weird, but the sun never shines through my bedroom window. I guess it moved since summer's coming.) Well, I took my laundry upstairs, started to listen to Dark Cloud and Suikoden video game music, and fold my clothes!!! ARGH, I hate it when the clothes get lint on them from the dryer machine... So I had to borrow my mom's lint cleaner and clean it all off... (Hey, my black shirts got restored! XP) After doing that, my family said to get ready for church!!! NOO!!! My parents said they would go to church in the afternoon! So I had very little time to bathe and get ready... -_-;; (Um, 12 minutes, I think it was...) Well, they rushed me out of the house without getting some stuff ready... -_-;; GRR. Oh well. (My sister kept banging on the bathroom door while I was shower, and my brother kept banging on my bedroom door when I was changing... -_-;;) Well, my sister and I sat at the far end of church again, but my parents spotted us. (We were sitting in the middle of an empty area... So yeah, they were bound to spot us.) But when they sat by us, my sister moved, and minutes later, I moved along with her. We sat by this man and his little kid... (I kept saying "hello" to the little boy...) But the little kid kept speaking really loudly in church, and I think he wanted to use the restroom, but couldn't find his way through the church... o_O;; There was a guy standing in front of me wearing a pink shirt with white and green stripes... Hehe. XP Anyways, after the mass, I went towards the food market place in the front part of the church, but I got shoved around by people wanting to buy food... When most of the traffic finished, I bought fried rice and a Coke... Yum. ^^ Well, I was eating a meatballs-on-a-stick and kinda talking to Diana, who was a bit pissed off, and my parents were talking to one of their friends about their boat or something like that... Well, I sat by a desk in the corner of the front of the church, eating my fried rice, when Khang came to me, and Lac-Hong came too!!! My sister came a bit later too, carrying my schoolbooks and hers. (Khang was wondering where mines were when he first came up to me.) Khang started calling my sister "ugly", and she took my black India ink marker and stabbed into Khang's forehead. (The cap was off!!!) Well, Lac-Hong said that she wasn't THAT mean to Khang... (My sister was in a pissed-off mood right then.) Well, Andy and my idiot brother Ricky came up to us then, but Ricky left later... Khang was offering us those Dum-Dum mini lollipops, and Andy kept fussing about how coconut was gonna kill him... Khang: *hands him coconut lollipop* Andy: Are you trying to kill me?! I'm allergic to coconut!!! Khang: *hands him mysterious-flavored lollipop* Andy: Are you crazy?! IT MIGHT BE COCONUT!!! Me: *unwraps lollipop and starts to suck on it* It's apple. Well, after that, Khang ran off to chase someone... I forgot who... o_O;; Well, Lac-Hong threw Khang's book into the trash bin right next to us, and we made a run for it... (Lac-Hong and I ran off to the far right corner of the church, and Khang started to run after us, but Anthony and Khang caught me, and then they ran after Lac-Hong, who was sitting with Andy by the piano.) So we sat by Andy, and Khang, Lac-Hong, Ricky, a Thieu Nhi (blue handkerchief), and I were sitting by him, listening to him. (He was practicing for his piano recital...) Okay, so Lac-Hong didn't want to go to her Giao Ly class, so Andy GRABBED HER BY HER LEGS AND STARTED DRAGGING HER OFF TO CLASS!!! I stopped him from dragging her, telling him "Can she just walk to class?" and then told him "Isn't that considered harrassment?" He told me "Yes, but I'm doing it for a good reason." o_O;; (He even chased her off to class just to make sure she would stay!!! WEIRD. o_O;;) Anyways, Andy, Khang, and I went to the food place to help sell food, and Ricky and Anthony came by later to...bother us. I spent the time sweeping again, and Andy said "You work too hard!" *hands the broom to Ricky* "You work too less! Get sweeping!!!" (Hehe. XP) Hehe, Andy tried stabbing people with a shish-kabob stick and covering their faces with a plastic bag... (Gah, he's harrassing his customers... ^^;;) Well, Kieu Thu came by a little bit after, and she just wanted to check on something... Well, I told Andy that they lost my community service time papers... (I had 36 hours, but they said I only had 8!!! GRR!!!) He offered to sign me a paper... ^^ (Hooray. ^^ But was he allowed to? He was an advisor or whatever, so maybe.) He signed me 6 hours, even though I was only there for an hour or two... ^^;; Well, Kieu Thu and that girl (I think her name's Laura) came with cookies. Chocolate chip, and two chocolate chip cookies stuck together with a rainbow-colored marshmallow stuff and peanut butter. The marshmallow was 50 cents, and the regular was 25... Hehe, Laura made them herself... She said, "Don't they look nice?" and pointed to the rainbow marshmallows. XP Then that little boy came (the boy that tried to throw rocks at the cars a few weeks earlier) and asked if he could get some food for free... I told him "Sorry, but you have to pay money..." He even tried to bargain with us by giving us a half-full bottle of water, and Khang even said "Gimme your whole Yu-Gi-Oh! deck, and you can have this whole plate of cookies!" Ooh, that little girl... I think her name was Angie... Well, anyways, I asked her if she wanted to buy some cookies... She didn't say anything... Well, I bought a cookie, two cookies on top of each other with marshmallows in the middle, and I ate it... But I got some of marshmallows on my shirt... I went into the restroom to get it off, and when I came back, that little girl said "Do you know it's her birthday?" (At first, I thought she meant Kieu Thu and said "It's not her birthday..." But it was Jennifer's. ^^) Well, that little girl's friend came over and bought the cookie for her. Heh, I remember when I was like that. I was afraid to buy stuff for myself, so I gave my friends the money and asked them to buy it for me. XP (But that was like, first grade. XP) It's so weird though... Maybe it's just me, but everytime when that girl's around me, she gets kinda shy... o_O;; (Or is she like that to everyone??? Because she seems really nice and comfortable with other people... Or is that just her friends???) The group played BC or Thirteen or whatever, and it was fun...I guess... (Anthony said the cards looked like credit cards.) Also, Anthony and Khang had a little "yo mama" fight and it was kinda...weird. Anthony had no good comebacks, and Khang's made no sense... But I stood up for him. XP Well, later on that time, Anthony tried to make some comebacks, but they made no sense at all. I told him, "Sometimes, I think you don't even realize that you're saying." Chi came by, and at that time, I was sweeping around a Coke can that someone had dropped... (Andy was mopping.) Khang took the mop and tried to mop the rest of the front of the church, but the woman who was helping us sell the food was yelling at him, since he was mopping the area around the door entrances. (But you have to admit, some parts are sticky...) Well, after doing that stuff, the bell rang, and we had to get to class... Hum, hehe, Khang, Andy, and I stayed in class, but we learned that the teacher was there exactly the right time today!!! NOO! Well, we had our final exam!!! I had to ask Khang for the meaning of some words because I wasn't so fluent, but yeah. I think I made a good grade. We also had to read a poem, and I think I did good with that too... It's just that... By the time the bell rang, I don't think I finished at least 3-5 questions... Oh well. I walked out of class, and my sister got free white chocolate... That Hershey's Milk and Chocolate thing... Well, after that, I met up with Chi, and together, we looked for her cell phone (Chi had lost her cell phone), asking Tay Bich where the office was, and then Quang, who told us to look for Anthony. So we ran around the whole church, looking for this "Anthony", so we went back to Quang, and Chi and Dai were with their father... Quang called Anthony, and so far, no one has turned in anything to the cell phone/lost and found place... Aw... But Confirmation class had already started... Jennifer yelled "Get in here!" XP So at first, we reviewed for our Confirmation final exam... Hehe, and after that, we were moved into the pews in the church so that we wouldn't share answers with each other... But Diana was right next to me, and yet, she wasn't in my classroom... What else... (Oh yeah. I was gonna restring my shoelaces, but I didn't get the chance.) Um um... There was a part I didn't get about saints, and I asked Kieu Thu, and she said she went over it, but I didn't remember it... She gasped at me... ^^;; "Travis, shame on you..." ^^;; I finally did get the answer... Diana kept talking to me kinda during the test... Well, I came back into the classroom, and Chi was reading a book called "Sphere-Land", and it's a book about where everyone is a shape, except for women, who are lines. (Hehe, in a story, Little Red Riding Hood killed a wolf with her body. o_O;;) You see, in the story, if you touch a line (woman), you die. (Think of the woman as a knife, and yeah.) And the males are shapes... The more sides you have, the more smarter you are. (Triangle being stupid, a circle being a genius.) But how does a line have a child with a shape??? I know, I know, it's confusing, and it just confused me even more... But I guess it was kinda interesting. XP Oh well, just read it. After that, the whole TA group came in, singing "Happy Birthday" to TA Jennifer and Quang playing the song on guitar, and we all clapped... Hehe, for a second there, I forgot it was her birthday!!! XP After eating cake (two helpings!) and drinking soda (only 1/3 of the cup was full!!! But I got 2 cups!) Chi and I drew pictures, of us in animal form... o_O;; (I drew a creepy-looking old guy, and Chi drew me as a creepy-looking rabbit. Hum, and I drew a picture of me cooking Kai, the penguin. XP) Oh yeah... They called me up to see my grade, and for a second there, they scared me because they said I didn't have all my community service hours in, but I did! Jennifer said "Oh, didn't I do this last week?" She said, and she fixed it all right. XP Well, TA Jennifer said for us to be quiet, and then she pointed to the candles and said "I'm too old for this!" (She had that funny, sarcastic sound in her voice. XP) Well, guess what? After moving the chairs and the tables back to their places (Kevin made me hit the folded table on a guy's butt... -_-;;), we had to stay back and go outside to the church and clean up all the stuff we saw... I just folded up the pews... XP (Andy said "That's not cleaning!!!") And ew, I found a band-aid. (Didn't touch it.) Well, Diana and Nickkie and Ricky asked how come I couldn't leave, and I said "The class was talking a lot, and we have to stay back for half an hour and clean up the church!" They said: Oh. Well, they didn't make us stay for half an hour, and we all ran outside... Oh, and I showed Natalie the picture... After that, my sister wanted me to buy her shrimp bread... I went up to the food market and asked how much it was, and asked for shrimp and banana bread, but the woman didn't understand me. (GRR, my Vietnamese must be horrible to the older people!) Well, I just shook my head, meaning "never mind". Well, my dad just laughed and said I was cheap and I never used my own money. I said "Dad, you're a liar!" in Vietnamese, and he just laughed and the old lady heard me too... The old lady said I was good looking... o_O;; Well, I saw Tay Robert again! Me: Hi Tay Robert! I don't see you teaching *points to Confirmation class* class anymore. Tay Robert: Well, I have...other things to do now. So how are you? Did you do well in your test? Me: Yeah, it was easy. Tay Robert: Heh, of course it was easy. I didn't make the test. (Hehe, his tests were hard... XP) Oh, and I saw Sonja again! I miss talking to her... She was so fun to be with... ^^ We just talked a bit, and she asked if I was going to church, but I told her "No, I already went to church in the morning..." She asked "Well, come again..." But I couldn't, and then we all headed to the truck... My dad got angry when I kept talking about him talking about me to the old lady... I hate it when my parents talk stuff about that isn't true!!! They clump me in with my brother and sister, and think all of us have the same emotions, the same personalities. (For God's sake, my parents don't even say my name right!!!) ...Sad, isn't it? Actually, that's not true...kinda. ^^;; We passed the "Cajun Kitchen", the restaurant that Khang's uncle owns... Ooh, I should go visit there some day... And I just noticed the building its in got painted orange-y... ^^;; Well, my dad drove to the water place to get the water bottles refilled... My sister and I sat in the car, eating bread... She said that she lost all her allowance that day, since she handed that woman $5 and the woman gave her $5 worth of bread, even though my sister only wanted one loaf... ^^;; Well, she handed me the bag, and I started to pretend to much on the plastic bag, going "Nya... Nyaa... Nyaa..." (I sounded like Shellder from Pokemon. XP) She just laughed and said I sounded like a bug...or Cloyster. ("Shellder", I corrected her. "Whatever!" she said. ^^;;) I wanted to head to Fun-Plex to play Double DDR, but we didn't go through that street. "Oh," I said. ^^;; Well, my sister and I went into the house, carrying the bread, and when I came back outside to help, my brother called me lazy... -_-;; Well, I got on the computer, and I've been here since... Oh yeah!!! The Pleasure Island thing was today, and Trangie had a fun time with Rendy! Ah, I wished I could've been there, but my parents thought we would cry and whine and want to go back home. (I'm not five, ya know. o_O;; See? They know nothing about me... ^^;; This conversation was while we were driving to church, so ya know.) ...It's been 31 years since the Communists invaded South Vietnam... Oh yeah!!! Hongie's having her Confirmation soon, and for the summer, she's moving up to Houston with her mom so she can go work at her mom's place!!! Hehe, I want to visit her in the summer!!! But to do that, I would have to work with Hong... Hehe, but Hongie's mom owns a nail salon, and I would be in a nail salon all summer... ^^;; (Do you guys find that weird? A middle-school/almost-high school boy working in a nail salon???) But really, all Hongie is gonna do is answer the phone of the salon... ^^;; Well, I think I'll go now... Bye bye! P.S. My posts seem to get longer with each and every day, neh? Or maybe it's becuase my life's getting more and more interesting... ^^ (Hehe! XP) End: 8:24 PM CST Edit: 8:30 PM CST Well, Suc Fa is here! (My mom doesn't want me to call her Ah Fah anymore because I'm not supposed to, and it confuses people...) Well, they're having a little dinner together, and there's lots of laughing and stuff and talking and eh... XP Um, this edit is later... But An Suc's older brother's wife and Suc Fah came and looked at Diana and I on the computer, and they left pretty soon after that. Diana and I spent the rest of the night playing online games like Cartoon Network and stuff... And we had root beer... Hehe. © 2004-2007 MiasmaMoon. All rights reserved. Comments (1) « Home
