Eighth Grade Day Away and Kevin's Wedding!!!
Start: 11:30 PM CST
Haha! Oh my gosh, this ENTIRE week so far has been fun! (And this post is ONLY about Thursday, Friday, and Saturday!!!) It may not seem like it online, but I am a VERY social person... *laughs*
As much of ya can see, I have changed my theme... It's a pretty simple thing... But now, I'm thinking of doing HTML that requires mapping! Hehe, it lets me add more special effects, but there's nothing so special about this one... XP (Except the rims of the boxes. XP)
Thursday
Well, I decided to wear something a little bit different that day... A teal-like colored shirt with black pants, black shoes, and a black open shirt... XP (Why do I describe you my clothes now? XP)
Well, when I first got to school, I wore kind of a "pissed off" face on me... Why? I FORGOT MY YEARBOOK AT HOME!!! *screams* (I still needed to get some yearbook signatures from people!!! I wondered if I could call my mom for her to bring it up to me, but I don't think the office would let me call my parents FOR A YEARBOOK.)
Oh yeah... We played a trivia game against Mr. Jacoby in Science... Hum... I didn't see Julio and Christian there... I wonder what had happened to them...
Later, in Social Studies, I found out (from Andrew, the Hispanic one) Julio and Christian were caught with beer. They won't be attending Hightower (prestigious magnet school in this area) and they're suspended for the rest of the year... (My Science teacher said that they were smart, made good grades, but one problem just made their life a lot harder... They can catch up, but it's gonna be hard work...)
Well, Lunch ended up being a tad bit late... Why? Well, they did ring the bell late during Health, and in Health, we just reviewed Chapters 1 and 2, but we stopped after that, and we just talked with each other... Andrew/Sai, Danny, and Erik were playing a game of throwing a dime into a book, slamming it down, and asking a question... Heads is "yes", tails is "no". (Shouldn't it be ask first? Then throw?) Hum... We just asked weird questions about who we're gonna get married or how we would die, and Andrew/Sai even asked if I was weird... ^^;; (It said "no".) Then he asked if I was paranoid. (It said "yes"... Isn't that the same?!)
Ummmers... In Art, the teacher told us to head to fourth period, but she said we could stay in there... Then they said to go to our fifth period class. (Which I was in, yup.) We painted our whistle pots today, which was fun. ^^ A pink pig for me! (Hehe, Josue couldn't mix the pink glaze right... Like medicine, leave it still for awhile, and all the minerals sink to the bottom... You have to shake it...or try to scrape the minerals off the bottom, and that's what I did... ^^;;)
Oh, I sat behind Alexis that day! I was running late on the bus, and I sat with her... ^^;; She said I looked hot... o_O;; Then she started to feel on my chest and shoulders, and I was like, "What are you doing...?" She said she was feeling on me. o_O;; (We did pinch each others' cheeks though. XP) Then she said "You're the hottest Asian person I've ever met..." (Really...? I'm ugly though... o_O;; I guess she hasn't seen that much Asian people... ^^;;) She asked me if I had a girlfriend (no) and if I wanted one (no). I told her that dating wasn't that important at my age, and basically, it's just like hanging out with friends, and dating complicates friendships. She said I should try it 'cause it's fun... She said she was embarrassed to ask, but in other words, she kinda asked if she could be my girlfriend... (I told her I don't date... ^^;;)
I felt bad after telling her that... (Someone has a crush on you, and when they confess, you kinda reject them...) But I really just want us to stay friends. ^^
Friday
Oh my gosh!!! EIGHTH GRADE DAY AWAY!!! OH YIPPEE! Hehe, that day was so fun!!! I'll tell ya about it...
Well, in the morning, I was late...kinda... My mom made pancakes, and she wanted me to finish my pancakes before I went to the bus, even though I was already considered late... ^^;; (Good thing the bus came a few minutes after I got to the bus stop!)
Hum, I checked the chart in the cafeteria for what bus I would ride. #6 is what it said...
Hum, we had to stay in first period (Science for me) and we were all anxious to go! Hehe, Ell C. was playing frisbee with Malcolm and Jayson... The teacher said "Don't play frisbees! I have glassware there. Go play over there." (He was pointing to a corner of the room... ^^;;) Hehe, Ashley wrote "Have fun bad kids!" And under it I wrote "MUAHAHAHAHA!" with a little devil smiley by it. XP
Well, when the announcements came, we all walked to the commons... I saw Janee, walking with her friends, and I overheard her say "medication", and I asked. She said "I'm allergic to any kind of grass and pollen. I'M DRUGGING MYSELF TODAY TO STAY ALIVE!!!" *laughs* (THAT SOUNDS SO WEIRD!!!!)
Well, I sat by Danny, and next by the table to us was Melinda and Vyonne! We talked for a while, but later, I went over to play with Sara and her friends in BS. One girl (I recognize her from my testing site) said "We're not playing BC, ya know." I replied "I know." (Should I take that as an insult? Okay, so I'm Asian. That doesn't mean the only game I know how to play with is BC... -_-;;) Later, John wanted to play...
*laughs* Melinda kept kicking John, and I helped... (He SEEMS nice, but is MEAN!) Melinda asked "Ms. Robarts, can I kill John?" She replied "I don't know." Melinda said "I'll take that as a 'yes'..."
Oh yeah! We also had to take a survey!!! It was one of those surveys like "Best Dressed", "Most Handsome", "Most Glamorous", "Most Likely to Succeed"... We also had to move to a different table... So I sat by Trinh (it's Trinh, not Tien!) and Danny and we "discussed" on who to vote... In the meanwhile, Tien and John ran off to see the buses... -_-;;
When the buses did get there, John sat with me and we talked a little bit, but that's it. (Ms. Robarts made Danny get out of a chair to make room for herself. XP) Oh yeah. John was sitting somewhere, and he wanted to sit by me, and Ms. Robarts said "Sit down!" XP
Ah, rode the bus (driven by Coach Elitzsky) to the Texas Safari Ranch... Ms. Rogers explained a bit of the rules, and off we went!
We stopped by to check in our bags, changed clothes (there was so little room to change with a ton of guys in one small area... o_O;;), and I went outside... Hehe, I switched to my gradient amber glasses... They're pretty nice. ^^ (They're prescription sunglasses, so I can see and they make nice...eyewear. XP) I saw Vyonne with Melinda eating snow cones, so I got one and joined them... We ate...and that was it for then... ^^;; Melinda dumped hers because she said it "tasted like medicine"... ^^;; We also got close to Coach Kanner and started teasing her... "Why are you surrounding Coach Kanner?!" (She talked in third person. XP) I was eating my snow cone, and she SQUIRTED ME WITH A WATER GUN. -_-;; (We all ran off... I said "She sprayed me when I was trying to eat my food... Melinda: "It's not food!" Me: "She sprayed me when I was trying to eat my medicine..."
Well, eventually, Vyonne went into the swimming pool, and Melinda left...with Paige, I think. Mr. Jacoby was just sitting on the lawn area, watching kids play... ^^;; I just hung out with Vyonne by then, and we went towards the deck, where a DJ was playing a bunch of songs... We got snow cones and popcorn (Mr. Ebunilo was there! GASP! And he dripped the syrup for my snow cone all over the cup... UGH.) and Vyonne went to feed the koi fish in the lake... (They like popcorn!)
UGH, it smelled so bad around the koi fish lake area... Why??? IT WAS RIGHT NEXT TO THE BATHROOMS!!! *screams* (I tried not to breathe around there... -_-;;) We thought there would be something at the end (there was a trail there) but it lead to nowhere... But Vyonne and I went in line to go paddleboating! Vyonne went earlier with another girl, and later, she went back in line... ARGH. WE KEPT MAKING ME CRASH INTO THE TREES! But we got to see gazelles, deers, and a moose! ^^ (Or was it a reindeer...? Caribou???) Ah, we really DID wish we had a camera! Haha, it took us a while to get back to land, and other people were stranded too! XP (People from a gazebo standing on top of water were telling us to go back... ^^;;) Oh yeah... While I was in line for the paddleboating, I was really annoyed because my hands were sticky... -_-;;
Ah, the rest is a vague blur... NO WAIT! Not a BLUR! But I did SO MANY things I can't remember which one I did first!!! XP I'll try to remember...
Well, after the paddleboating, Vyonne went...somewhere... I saw Nicole sitting by herself eating popcorn (or was it nothing at all?)!!! Well, I sat by her, and just talked... She was pretty quiet during that time... XP Vyonne came back later, and we asked the DJ for a request. He asked what we wanted, and we just said "anything techno"... HE PLAYED "Sandstorm" BY DARUDE!!! (THAT IS SO OLD!!!) Oh well, at least it's techno, huh? ^^;;) Well, I went to go get a (flat) yellow volleyball and spiked it everywhere... Um, it landed by two Hispanic girls, and one girl said "You have a nice sexy butt. Did you know that?" (My expression: eyebrow up.) Were they flirting or just being perverted...?
Now that I think about it... My shorts were pretty tight that day, I think. I just chose it out of random really. Picked a pair of red swimming shorts out of my clothes and didn't bother to see what size it was. (It wasn't until the END of the day did I realize it was too short... ^^;;) And a black shirt too! Which a few people said it was weird for me to wear black on a hot day... ^^;;
Ah, swimming... I went swimming with Vyonne (and one time Melinda) and we all spun around and we even did a conga line in the water! XP (Kinjal was screaming because the water was so cold? ^^;;) Ah, I wanted to take off my shirt because it weighed me down so much! (Wear too many clothes in the pool, and you'll be HEAVY. But everyone knows that. XP) GRR, but the water made the shirt stick to my skin... -_-;; (Hehe, they made us take turns with the swimming, and Vyonne even wanted to hide behind the palm trees so we could stay in the pool more, but lunch started...)
We all got into the dining hall, and it looked SO DARK! (Actually, it wasn't!!! My amber-gradient sunglasses MADE everything look dark!) I was getting a hamburger, and Mr. Jacoby was serving, and he was speaking to me in a British accent, saying to enjoy my meal and stuff... o_O;; (What's with the British accent...?) Vyonne was with me, and we got Nicole to sit with us too! (Well, we all moved to Zaki's table, but he moved away later... It was a...quiet lunch... No one talked...) Dominique came over, and they were rowdy... Burping and talking about weird things... ^^;; Oh yeah! Dexter had to work on the day off... Poor him. Vyonne was telling me how at her old school, people thought he was annoying, and he always talked gossip about people... He liked her friend, and he was always bugging her... ^^;; (Huh, but people here don't see him as that! Although they see him as "annoying", yes.)
By the table, I was helping Dexter, Kaether, and Pamela count the ballets... John was getting the people their lunches... After everyone left, I had to leave because I need to use the facilities... (Why do I even add that? Must I have so much detail? GRR...)
Laura was around that area, and the DJ was playing "Everytime We Touch" and all the girls I saw were mouthing their words to the lyrics, and I did the same... ^^;; Ah yeah... Vyonne and I sat there...and we watched people having a dance-off. Nykitha was there! Oh yeah! There was a white girl (blonde hair, glasses) and she was dancing, but she wasn't IN THE GROUP. She was dancing to the song, BUT she was by herself... Poor girl... OH! WHAT'S DISTURBING. MY ALGEBRA TEACHER DANCING!!! (Not dancing, kinda doing Tumbling and just "moving to the beat"... ^^;;) But still...weird. o_O (Forty year-old black man who usually acts strict...trying to dance.) AND!!! HE WAS GIGGLING WHEN PLAYING PING-PONG WITH ANOTHER TEACHER!!! (A teacher that usually acts strict...GIGGLING. o_O!)
...I'm...traumatized...
Also!!! He made people pay him for the snow cones he was serving!!! He can't do that... XP (Not money! But picking up trash... ^^;; Get 5 plastic cups, and you get one... XP) Help cleaning up, yeah, but the first time I heard that, I THOUGHT HE WAS RE-USING THE CUPS. o_O!
Vyonne DID dance, but only when Hispanic music was on, and she was doing those old dances like "The Robot"... *laughs*
Well, I got into the pool once or twice after lunch, and when I was swimming with J.J. (he tried to drown me/he thought I was in 7th grade!) he said I had "Asian hair" when it wet... ^^;; (Like, when my hair gets wet, it gets spiky. XP) He kept telling all of his friends and they all said "Asian hair!" (What the heck...? o_O?!)
Well, we couldn't get into the pool again! So many wanted to get in, but there was a capacity! Ms. Spies just spent the entire time reading books... -_-;; (It's her homework, yeah.) I went by the basketball court, and there were some people playing, but it didn't interest me. Oh yeah! I went to go play mini-golf with Nicole (Vyonne had snuck into the pool!) and my left sandal strap broke!!! GRR! (So I was annoyed, walking around the area, with my left foot looking...crooked because the sandal strap broke. -_-;; I managed to have fun though! I joined the group with Melinda, Sara, Vanessa, Anita, and Paige playing, and it was just funny... XP I've never seen Kristen laugh so much... (She's just serious-looking in class. ^^;;) Argh, Nicole and I kept making the balls fly everywhere!!! @_@ (Actually, each of us just once. Mines fell into a ditch with sprinklers--I got wet!--and hers fell into a bamboo forest we couldn't reach... ^^;;)
After that, we all ganged up by the pool entrance, got our stuff (they didn't give us a chance to change!) and I got a cup of ice... XP (No more snow cones!) I went to the area where Mr. Ebunilo and Ms. Neuls were and got the syrup... So I went to go put on my shoes...and I left my snow cone on the table by me... I turned around, and saw Darneshia, but my snow cone was gone... o_O;; I asked her if she saw it, and she said a guy just walked up here and took it... o_O;; (WEIRDO. You don't just take random food you see on a table that MIGHT'VE been eaten/drunk and eat it yourself... -_-;;) So I ran back to the pool area to get another ice cup... (GRR, I got tired!) But when I reached the deck area again, Ms. Neuls shooed me away and said it was my "third" time being there. (THIRD? That was my second time!!! -_-;;) I had to ask Goldie for Gatorade...and oh! I took a picture with Vanessa and her group! XP
GRR, when she just shooed me off, Danny and Tien said that I was clueless! o_O! And that I always was!!! GRR, I am not! Tien said "You're a nice guy and all, but you're clueless to the things around you..." (Okay, so I didn't hear that I couldn't be on the deck! I WAS BY THE CHANGING ROOMS, which was like, FAR AWAY from the deck!!!)
Oh yeah! While I WAS by the changing rooms, they announced the winners of the popularity contests... Dexter won most of them!!! Everyone went "BOO!" (Unfortunately, the DJ claimed that a lot of them were written in the same handwriting... ^^;;)
Oh, I rode the bus back with Nicole (Danny, Tien, and John couldn't ride--no more room--and John got angry when I wouldn't go back with him... ^^;;) So when we did get back, Nicole, Zaki, and I stood together, and we all headed to the commons... I sat with Nicole, and Vyonne came back to us! ^^;; I gave Nicole a dollar and we both got drinks... (People kept asking me for money... ^^;;) I was skipping to the soda machines, and I heard a guy say "Is that a guy?" I saw a bunch of girls looking at my SHORTS. Five of them, plus a boy. o_O;; (They were too short?) I was explaining to Vyonne how a lot of people were hitting on me today... o_O;; I explained to her about the times, like the one about the pants, and she said "Maybe they want your pants." ^^;; (I'm sure that's not it... ^^;;) WEIRD again... Two Hispanic girls (were they the same girls?) came up to me and one girl said "Hey sexy." (o_O;;) I told Vyonne "That's WHAT I mean!" ^^;;
So we all headed towards our seventh period class, and Angelie had ice cream! We just sat in class and talked... Hehe, it was so fun...just talking... ^^ (Oh MY GOSH! Goldie has a picture of Ms. Spies eating a hamburger!!! XP We just all cracked up when we saw it, but we didn't show her--who was also in the room--to her. ^^;;) I think I got a bit tan... ^^;; And Amber said I looked fly. ^^;; (The clothes I was wearing? ^^;;)
I signed Lily's yearbook today! (She lost the cap to her Sharpie, and she just put it on the bus floor. o_O;; Someone might've gotten ink on their shoes! So I had to throw it away...um, I gave it to J.J. to throw away... ^^;;) Oh yeah! Andrew left his yearbook on the bus! I bicycled to his neighborhood to try to return it, but I didn't know where he lived. (WASN'T THAT STUPID THEN? ^^;;) I'll just keep it until Monday. ^^
Saturday
Ummers... I woke up around 9-10 AM...because I had an orthodontist's appointment that day...
Hehe, it was a regular day at the orthodontist. HOORAY! Just two-three more months 'til my braces are done with! (But my two front teeth are now crooked! ARGH. Oh well. Retainer might fix that. ^^) Ah, the regular joke by the nurse about the hot-pink rubber bands. XP (She also wouldn't recommend clear ones because they'll turn yellow after a few weeks... o_O;;)
Well, after that, I wanted to eat phở, and we were about to, but my mom claimed the closest one to us didn't serve good food... ^^;; Well, we stopped by H-E-B to buy groceries... Rice, fruit, yeah... We wanted to buy crabs, but they had to be served right away, and we had to go to a wedding later today... My mom was talking to one of her friends who just had braces done in Houston, and while she was talking, I was getting CLAWED by my sister! (The whole time we were in the grocery store, I GOT CLAWED!) Argh, there's a scar on my right wrist... It bled too... -_-;;
Hum... After that, we did clothes shopping in Wal-Mart. (I just needed a shirt, a tie, and new pants... My old ones are too short.) Well, I got really frustrated picking out so many times... @_@ (Are we allowed to pull the tags out??? There were some in the way to the point where I couldn't even put them on! @_@) Oh yeah... I was in the dressing room, and I just got finished changing, and a MAN COMES IN, THINKING I WAS CHANGING. But I was done... ^^;; (GRR! Cheap dressing room locks!!!)
...You guys may not know this, or maybe it's just the shopping places I've been to, but all stores, even in the mall, have HORRIBLE locks... Even bathroom stall locks!!! @_@!!!
Well, we stopped by Wal-Mart, and we ordered "to go", but we ate in there... And I bet with my sister that even by the time we finished our food, our mom wouldn't be finished shopping. (And I was right!) Hehe, the girl who worked there called out our wrong ordered, and I corrected her, and she said "Oops! My bad!" XP People who work here are friendly...sometimes. XP Well, my mom asked if I ordered anything for her, and I told her "no", and she got angry... (She said she asked me to order something for her, but I didn't hear anything she said...or anything she wanted to order...) Also, the meat in the back of the van was getting...rotten... ^^;; (My mom does not like to buy meat or milk in the summer... Leave it in a hot car for a while...ruined before it gets home. XP)
Well, my brother wanted to stay on the computer, so I let him! Diana and I played "DDR: Mario Mix" and "Super Smash Bros. Melee"! I beat her three times with Jigglypuff! (Jigglypuff's great! XP) After a while, I went on the computer and started to work on some graphics...
Ah, it was time to get ready for the wedding, and I showered, got ready... Except for a problem: My shirt was too big! OY! (The one I bought!) Pants were all right. But I wore my other white shirt... It's transparent-like though... o_O;; (I wore a XL muscle tee under, but it just looks weirder since it's TRANSPARENT-like. ^^;; And why XL?! XP TOO BIG! XP)
Well, my mom and I just talked (Ricky quiet in the back) and we headed towards Tay Do in HK4! (Oh yeah! Suc Pah never called my mom, but she's not going to the wedding we were going to!) ARGH, I felt weird in the clothes I was wearing... Tie, white shirt, and dress shoes... ^^;; (I mean, it wasn't weird, it's just...I don't think I was used to wearing formal like that...well, not anymore. ^^;;) Well, I said "hi" to Kevin and his bride, and we went in! I sat in a reserved table just for us, and my mom was mingling with the other people at the table... I went to go sit with the children at another table... (I recognized some of them!) I WAS RIGHT!!! IT WAS VI!!! I recognized all of them, I just didn't remember their names... ^^;; Phung, Hao, Vi, Mimi, Uyen/Michelle, Allison, and Kristi! XP (Kristi looked so adorable...red dress and black boots. XP)
It was really nice... At first, I talked to the guys (Hao and Phung) about MapleStory, and I played the girl's "Nintendogs" game. It was fun...but someone forgot to recharge the batteries, so it kept going off... ^^;;
Wow... Hao kept yelling, and all the kids around me were just...messing around... ^^;; (Hehe, I tried to talk to them, like, what school they went to, but they didn't even know which district they went to. o_O;;) Only three of us were 8th-9th grade... Phung, Vi, and I... ^^;; Hao kept talking about allergies (he's allergic to seafood and grass and pollen) and he kept yelling "WHERE'S THE FOOD?!" Mimi wouldn't eat and kept playing around in the confetti... @_@ (I even tried to feed her, but Hao wanted to eat her food... -_-;;) The food was good...but the table was...messy, and Vi and Phung didn't help at all...even if we did have fun talks. XP (I found out most of us at the table plays MapleStory... Bad thing is, they were ALL BROA!!! NO!!!)
I remember that they were playing those little wedding games and one of the white guys at the next table said "ASIAN MAN!!!" and started laughing... ^^;; (They were kinda...perverted games...played in Asian weddings, as far as I know... ^^;;) I found out in India they throw rice during weddings at the bride to represent fertility?
Hehe, I know it's weird, but oh well. A girl asked me where the bathroom was... (Why did I type that up? Well, I find it weird to ask a random person where the bathroom is... o_O;;)
Hehe, it was so fun being with them, even if they troublesome... ^^;; Ah, Kristi and Allison had SMALL WINE BOTTLES! (They give wine bottles to little kids?!) They wanted me to open it, and when I ALMOST did, Kristi cried out "NO! YOU'RE GONNA KILL US ALL! DON'T OPEN IT!!!" (She wanted me to... XP) They also wanted me to get DRUNK off of the SMELL of the alcohol! So when I did open it, they all told me to close it! (They think wine smells bad. XP No, it's just beer. XP) They wanted me to get DRUNK OFF it though, and I pretended I was by rolling back my eyes... XP Kristi took off one of the ribbons from the wine bottles and tied it to my left pointing finger, and I made my right pointing finger KISS IT... XP (The tips were the faces and they were touching and rubbing each other... XP) Kristi just bursted out laughing "Your finger got a sex change!" (So it's a female now because you tied a ribbon to it? XP) Vi went "How the heck do you change the sex of a FINGER...?" I don't know! XP Also, I wanted to get their MS and e-mails because I never got them last time! (It's been five months since I've last seen them all! @_@!)
Well, I had to borrow a lot of pens, and I borrowed the waiters/waitresses' pens, but they wanted them back after a while... o_O (Weren't that many pens around, and they needed to take orders... ^^;;)
After I got everyones, I went home...
Diana was alone..watching T.V. And here I am...
Oh, I missed Nickkie's going-away party! You see, Nickkie's going to Vietnam and Korea this summer and Sobia and the gang wanted to throw her a party and it was at "Barnes and Nobles" bookstore! I couldn't make it...even IF it was 1:30 PM... ^^;;
Well, talk to you later! This has been a LONG POST! Bye!
Creepy Dai Zombie!
This is a picture of Dai that Chi took... Her camera messed up and...her little sister's face now looks like a zombie's... o_O! (IT SCARED THE HECK OUT OF ME WHEN I FIRST SAW IT!) I was like, "Okay, a picture of Dai..." *opens picture* IT JUST FREAKED ME OUT!
