Start: 10:45 PM CST (I'm posting this for Friday, okay?) Argh, I'm sorry I haven't been around here... It's just that...since Sunday, my computer has messed up to the point where I couldn't even get onto the Internet! (Talk on AIM and MSN, but couldn't go on Internet Explorer...) It messed up so bad I had to save all my files to CDs, reboot my whole computer and install everything... This week has been so hectic and crazy... (I still need to finish uploading everything...) So how was my week? Last Friday/May 26, 2006 It was my first day of summer vacation! What did I do? Well, in the afternoon, Diana and I went to Wal-Greens... Confusing thing it was really... (I had rode a bicycle, and we went halfway, but then Diana wanted a bicycle, so we all walked home, then went all the way to Wal-Greens... Grr, she could've gotten it in the first place when our mom asked her...) Really, it's the first time I've actually bicycled to Wal-Greens... *laughs* Oh, my mom wanted me to buy sandals... (Why? I wanted to go swimming, but my old sandals broke when I went to Eighth Grade Day Away...) I bought some soda and candy and the sandals! (Later, I found out they were too small and I had to go back and return them on Saturday...) But it was a bumpy ride back home... (The "groceries" kept hitting back and forth... -_-;;) Saturday Well, some stuff on the computer had been messing up...so I tried to fix it... La la la... Well, my mom called me and told me to change so we could go back to the store and return the sandals for a larger size... After that, I went swimming... (My brother and sister didn't want to go!!!) So I was swimming by myself... My mom watched for a while, then went to go wait in the van... A guy was playing football in the water with some kids, and I tried to float...with no avail... ^^;; When the pool was about to close (got there at 6 PM, the pool closes at 7 PM), I saw J.J. by the fence, and we talked... (He was gonna go to Wal-Greens...) After that, I went home, took a shower to get rid of the chlorine, and watched anime on Toonami and Adult Swim... *laughs* (I hadn't done that in a long time! XP) Sunday Well, I got ready to go to church... La la la... After church ended, I talked a bit with Dianna and Dalena... After church, we headed by Food Mart to buy some groceries... After I got home, I started to cook! (I wanted to make stew... XP) It was also getting rainy-like outside too... So I chopped up everything, and did a ton of stuff... (My mom called me crazy for putting peppers in soup... -_-;; Why? I don't think Chinese cooking uses peppers in soup, I think...) Well, I thought the food had turned out bad, and I kinda started complaining about it online, but it turned out really good! (Just REALLY spicy because of ONE jalapeno pepper...) After that, I got on the computer and I tried to fix the computer problems... (Dunno why, but I had a lot of those at that time...) Well, at late night, I tried to look online to look up instructions on how to fix that problem... I followed the instructions instruction by instruction and it MESSES UP. I spent all that night trying to fix the computer!!! (System Restore wasn't there because it messed up!!! That's what I usually used to fix my problems if they were large...) Oh... It just caused me tension, grief, pain, suffering, and headaches for the rest of the night... (I had to go to sleep later because my mom said it was too late at night...) Monday I cried, worried, screamed, etc. all that day because the computer was messed up... I tried a ton of things to fix it, but it made it worse... (I couldn't even post! Internet Explorer was messed up, I couldn't play music, tons of programs were missing... And NO, it wasn't a virus. I caused it! How? I hacked my own computer... NOT REALLY. I just tried to fix my problems through the Registry Key... GAH, that messed up... -_-;;) In the meanwhiles, Diana and Ricky played MapleStory and GunBound... (They're online games... I said Internet Explorer was messed up, not the Internet...) Tuesday Ahh... I really need An Suc to come over... I called him around noon and he said okay, but it wasn't until my mom called him around...2 PM that he came. (He was eating lunch.) When he came here, his girlfriend and Suc Pa came with us... An Suc came with me to the computer room, and the others went into the kitchen and chatted with my mom... Well, guess what? WE COULD'VE fixed the computer without deleting everything! BUT NO! I didn't remember the Administrator's password!!! (You see, my neighbor set up this computer for me, like, in 2002? He gave me the password, but we lost that piece of paper he wrote it in... ARGH...) So yeah... He said go to Best Buy, buy some CDs, and burn all the stuff onto the CD. So after that, they left...and my mom told me to change my clothes so we could go to Wal-Mart to buy the CDs and other stuff... Oh, in the store, I found out a horrible truth... Well, we stopped by the electronics area to buy CDs (we bought a 100-pack!), which was in the area by the cameras. There's this little advertisement thingy which shows a little Hispanic girl with a white doggy, and I showed my mom that picture (pointed at it) and I told her that that picture reminded Diana of James, our old pet doggy. It was then that my mom had told me the truth... She said that my dad had told her that two months ago, when my dad was at our old town, we went to stop by the house of a friend of his... (She explained to me it was the Vietnamese family that lived on the street behind Jacoby's house...) Well, their son had found our dog... You see, when my dad first came into his house, he saw James, and James didn't bark at him... My dad's friend had wondered why... My dad explained to him that the dog used to belong to his daughter, my sister, and that before we moved up to Houston, she had lost her dog. But my dad didn't ask for the dog back... Why? You see, my dad said it would be awkward to blame his friend's son for stealing the dog... So my dad let his son keep James... But at that time, tears were just coming out from my eyes... I mean... I remember how sad Diana was...how much she cried for losing James... How depressed she became... And yet, when my dad found James, he didn't want to get him back... My mom said I should be happy for James... He's fat now and he's well taken care of... (The "fat" part just made me laugh...) And that if Diana were to keep him, he would just make a mess in the house and she wouldn't know how to take care of him... But all throughout shopping in the store, I was just trying to hold back the tears... My mom was like, "Forget about him..." How could I forget about him? I thought he was dead for over a year now, and when you tell me he's alive, you expect me to FORGET about it?! Man... (By the time I had explained that to her, I just wanted to burst out crying in the store...) I just asked my mom if I could use her tissue paper... I don't know why, but my crying stopped soon after that... My mom promised me not to tell Diana the truth about James... But I couldn't... She has a right to know... (But my mom said not to tell her so she wouldn't become sad...) But still! If someone you loved very much died, and one of your family members didn't want to tell you because they were afraid of you getting hurt, would that be right? It's nice, but wouldn't you have a right to know? And still, she's gonna find out sooner or later... I really wanted to tell her... I went home buying a ton of candy... And while Diana, my mom, and I were watching Chinese dramas, I wanted to tell her, but my mom stopped me... Sigh... Wednesday LOTS of burning files onto CDs... Tra la la la... (And lots of my sister playing MapleStory: Ludi Party Quest...) Thursday Well, all that morning mainly composed of burning CDs... My mom went...somewhere in the morning, and my mom called me to check if all the burning was done, and I told her "yes", and she called An Suc to come over... When An Suc came over, he deleted the entire computer, and restarted it, and fixed a bunch of stuff for me too! But it was...awkward sitting by him for half an hour...not talking... He started to look around the stuff on my computer desk, and he tried to play with the AstroJax Symone gave me last Christmas, but that was only for a short time... After that, he left, and I said "thanks" and started reinstalling all the programs back onto the computer... My mom came back, then left again, and came back after buying ice cream... I was still reinstalling all the computer stuff... Well, I kinda gave up after doing that all and went down to eat some ice cream... (Confused which one was mine... It was those...ice cream boxes that were a pint or two sized...) Well, Diana played a lot of MapleStory, even though I tried to finish uploading and downloading all the programs and file we recently had on the computer... Later, I cut my hair... It was so quiet... I was kinda depressed while my mom was cutting my hair... We just talked a bit and that's it. After cutting my hair, my mom wanted us to all go to church. (Church started at...7:30 PM? We got there 7:45 PM...) It wasn't church, but it was like praise and worship with singing...in Vietnamese. One woman couldn't follow the tempo of the song and kept singing even though the song had ended. (My mom says that you can tell when a song ends because it starts to get softer and trails off...) Oh...when we were supposed to do something to the cross (we were in a line), I didn't know what to do! XP I just...did the sign of the cross and went back to my seat. XP Apparently, you were supposed to kiss the statue of Jesus's feet and pushes ashes into the incense cup? Friday/June 2, 2006 Hmm, I woke up this morning and...watched T.V. and ate... *laughs* I got around...12 noon so I could fix my sister's computer account. (Something was messed up, so I had to delete her whole account and restart it... -_-;;) GRR, the horrible thing about rebooting a computer is redownloading everything you once had... It hurts me... -_-;; Well, I went on the computer to upload all my stuff plus talk to my friends! Sue, Alex, and I planned to meet at the school (HBMS) around...3 PM... (They actually kept switching it around 3 PM to 3:30 PM, so it was confusing...) Well, around 2:50 PM, after eating, I changed and got ready to leave... (I saw Raven walking with her mom and dad, and she said "Hi Travis!" to me! I don't know, but I feel happy just meeting a friend I haven't seen in a while... It's been one week since school ended... ^^;;) Annoyances during my trip = End of jeans got stuck in the water bottle holder of my bike... GRR. (Also, I took the wrong way!) I called Alex's cell phone, but Alex's mom picked up, so that didn't work... I took the right turn, but this time, it was on the freeway, and I called Alex again (mom picked up again), but I made it across... I got lost a bit on the way... And on the road to the school, I was scared I was gonna get hit... ^^;; *laughs* But I made it, yup! I saw Kathy (at first I couldn't tell who it was from behing), but she was bicycling and I was bicycling behing her and I kept calling her name, but I guess she didn't hear me, so when I got close enough, I yelled her name, and she cried out in...shock, I guess... (I was right behind her that entire time and she never realized... ^^;;) I met up with Sue, who wanted to KILL ME for being 30 minutes late!!! (Must be there by 3 PM, got there by 3:30 PM... -_-;;) Sue saw my new haircut, and she said I looked "gay"... (My expression: o_O;; I replied "Does that mean it's ugly?") She replied "No, it means it's good." (No, it wasn't in a sarcastic voice... But now "gay" is a complimental word? Hooray. XP) Well, we met up with Alex later and chatted a bit. Oh yeah! When Sue said I looked "gay", Kathy said that there was someone who said they were stalking me... She said he went to HBMS...and he was bi. I asked who he was, but she couldn't remember his name... (I couldn't think of anything, so I tried describing him: Hispanic, curly hair, tan skin?) She said that was right, and I said "Is his name Kaether?" (She said YES, and it just freaked me out there!!! What the...?! He stalks me...??? But she said he might've been kidding when he said that... ^^;;) Oh yeah! Alex's mom kept picking up Alex's phone remember? Well, Alex's mom came to the conclusion that I was her boyfriend! (What?!) But to cover that up, Alex made up a cover story and said that I was gay... (WHAT?) Alex said that if she convinced her mom if I was gay, she couldn't possibly think I was her boyfriend... (You could've said something like I was Chi's cousin or something... -_-;;) So we bicycled out towards Nam's house! Oh yeah... Kathy noted on my "tight pants"... Oh and remember that gay comment? I think it's because Sue says that gay people have fashion, so yeah... Alaina says that's sometimes true, and Alaina just laughed and said, "Wait 'til I tell Amanda that you have fashion." Through the bayou, and etc. (Haha, for a while there, we thought Nam wasn't at home... ^^;; Alex JUST called him on the phone then and said that they were coming over... o_O!) Turns out, he was home... (Oh yeah! We saw two chickens around the area then! Kathy and Alex were chasing them, while I was circling around and Sue talking on the phone... @_@???) (At first, when I saw him, I thought he looked like Richard! But it was his hat.) It was...quiet at Nam's house... I met his dad (or granfather) and greeted him in Vietnamese, although I didn't think he heard me... o_O;; (Wow... I don't know why, but Asian elders seems to stare at me when they see me... o_O!) Well, this was the first time I met Nam, so neh... It was quiet... I listened to Nam's iPod (Kathy said "You have Jesse McCartney's 'Beautiful Soul' on your iPod?!"), they tried to kill Nam and Kathy by choking her with a pillow, and so forth... Well, remember I told you that Alex's mom thought I was her boyfriend? Well, her mom called later, and she had to leave the house. She came back in, and she said her dad had said, "Li'l missy, we're gonna have a talk when you come home..." o_O;; So Alex wanted me to come home to talk to her parents and convince them... (Later, she decided that was a bad idea...) But Kathy and Alex wanted to try to show that I was gay... -_-;; (You could just explain that I'm your friend!!!) Kathy asked, "Do you like Nam?" (or something like that... She was kinda asking if Nam and I would make a cute couple... o_O;;?!?!?!) They also wanted to bring me and Nam and make us hug to show that we were gay... (Like I said, why can't you just explain to your parents that we're just friends???) But it got so weird in our conversations... Like: Kathy asked if Nam was gay or not, and he said he was "undecided". (What does that mean? Is like he doesn't know if he's gay or straight??? o_O???) And Kathy explained that his hormones haven't came yet, and he went that he had a lot of hormones... (What the heck is going on with these chats?! XP) They said I looked like a Korean baseball player... (My hair cut in a new way, plus a cap. XP) Kathy wanted a picture of me holding Nam's bat, but she took a picture of me hitting myself with his bat... ^^;; After that, we went outside and talked... Alex left us... Nam ran barefoot across the street to see the chickens we were talking about earlier... Oh! I saw Danny (Hispanic/spiky-haired), Thomas (I think that's his last name), and someone else walking towards the pool... I waved "hi" to them, but I didn't see them wave back... ^^;; Oh yeah! Nam said they used to sell smoke bombs in the ice cream trucks... o_O! Alex was like, "What kind of stuff did they sell to little kids?" (Something did this as an example: "Hey kid. You want some marajuana?") We just all bursted out laughing... XP Well, we headed towards Sue's house, but Kathy's mom was there, and she picked her up... Sue didn't want me bicycling back home because she was afraid I was gonna get run over or killed... So she invited me inside, I called my mom, and we just talked to each other about our life after moving and stuff while enjoying a can of soda... My mom came later, and I left (although it was hard getting the bike in the back of the van) and I headed home... I folded laundry and cooked (two dishes = one came out good, the other...ugh...) and now I'm here...posting. Ow, that hurt my back...and hands...posting! I still have to upload some more stuff... I'll see you later. Bye! End: 11:59 PM CST © 2004-2007 MiasmaMoon. All rights reserved. Comments (3) « Home
