bye 08

you're finally ending. you were filled with the ups and downs of life.

thanks for giving me some of the closest friends i have.
thanks for taking away some of those friends.

thanks for all the good times with my family.
thanks for all the bumps in the road that seemed unbearable.

thanks for giving me one heck of a struggle of school, both junior and senior year.
thanks for my acceptance into 2 colleges i've been dreaming about going to.

most of all, thanks for all the memories that'll never be forgotten. meeting the CLOSEST bunch of friends a person can ask for (binhi, team malubay, team ailyn, team alva. i got you guys ;]), snowboarding on the highest peak of soda springs in february, performing in FANTASTICS and having my knee locked during a dry run in march, losing one of my closest friends, but keeping the friendship strong in june, performing for the anniversary program with all of CA in july...it'll never be forgotten.


so, as the year ends at midnight tonight, i just wanted to say that i hope 2009 will be better, and will create the memories that lasts a lifetime.

have a great new years eve everybody.

blah

this one subject ruins my whole vacation -.- i'm suppose to go to aneheim this week, but nooo...rawr stupid project >.<

(sorry, this is just an excuse to make a post with a picture to test out if my template works or not haha) but it is true...supposed to be going to aneheim for the socal district GEM. could have met up with dana and all the other socal kids too, but no...so sad.

bye.

1st week of break

went by hella fast. dang...all next week is devoted to the precal project >.< i wanna drop that class sooo bad. either that or chemistry, which i don't need at all.

yesterday:
went to mitsuwa with the fam to eat. omg they have HELLA good udon =) then we went to stanford mall, because we knew there was gonna be a lot of people at valley fair. it was okish i guess. didnt buy anything because yeah, no money yet lol i wanted to get a scarf from burberry, but even with the sale price, still expensive. i convinced my dad to buy me one of the hundreds x disney shirts. (for grad night to wear you know? lol) then we went home, watched the warriors game, accidently fell asleep, but according to my sources, warriors hella won.

today:
went to mistuwa again to buy 10 dollar plates x] then went to valley fair. i swear, there is NOTHING there to buy. probably the next time i'll go there is to buy my bred phats or my north face backpack x]

good practice yesterday

and performance for c-dub. shows how much i miss those kids <3 i can't wait to perform tomorrow =) it's my favorite part of winter vacation, besides new years and all that other stuff

i took some pictures, not really a lot. i was using a HUGE lens (18-200 mm) it's hard to get used to when you can barely hold it up straight.

these are the only decent ones i took with it. enjoy? :P
ps, if for some reason i'm not aloud to post the pictures, i'll take it down right away.

oh, and for some reason, i'm getting my car REALLY soon o_0 kinda weird, because i dont even have my permit yet xP oh well, i'm pretty happy hahaha

ok, pictures =)

silver creek high school's PCN

even though it's 2 months away, i want EVERYONE to go watch our PCN. FOR SURE it'll be worth going to. trust me. there's gonna be a  couple of surprised guests =)

uv filter

took a bunch of pictures throughout the past few days with the filter i miraculously found on the d40 i shoot with. thanks dad :) never knew we had one till saturday xD it's freakin' awesome. still getting used to it though, some pictures i took are kinda blurry, but they looked perfectly fine on my screen. anyways, pictures:

starting with:

new start

ok, for sure i'll be using blogspot more. no lies. so, what's been happening so far? well, nothing really. same old stuff. school is the biggest...burden? at the moment, but that's no surprise really.

on the bright side, i'm OFFICIALLY going to SJSU next year. i already got my 'admittance' email. i just need to turn in my transcript in july and i'm finished. i also got into east bay, but i can't drive there, so i'm not going there =( i feel bad too, they sent me a sticker and everything. x]

hmmm...i've been REALLY getting into photography nowadays. i mean, i was already loving it before, but now, i can't put down my camera. i'm actually trying to find some events happening so i can take pictures. anyone need a photographer? 100 pictures = $20 ^_^ such a steal.

oh, i've been popping and practicing better isos throughout the weeks. thank kaba modern (kaba 6), soreal cru, and supreme soul for inspiring me. so, if you see me at school doing some random moves, yeah...you'll know why.

twilight is my new obsession xD zomg, edward cullen =) haha jk it's all about alice and jasper ^_^ they can bite me and turn me into a vampire any day ;D haha i can go on and on about them, but i won't. i still need to read breaking dawn =/ i have no time whatsoever to even read it. rawr

yeah, that's basically what's up right now. be back with other updates soon =) oh yeah, tell your friends to add me. i finally figured out how to work this thing.

wdywt: half cabs

november 21

long time, no post huh?

well, school year is pretty much dragging slowly. i feel like i've been at school for the longest time. i wanna get it over with already. graduate and go on to bigger and better things. step out of the cocoon of love into the lovely world of college.

i'm still stressing out with school work though. i'm really feeling the pressure of taking all the "academic" courses this year. it's driving me crazy =/ every night, i have homework for almost every class. i struggle every night to finish everything and actually learn from it. words cannot describe how much stress i'm going through every day. i see everyone letting the school year pass by like it's nothing. it seems like i'm the only one freakin' stressing over grades, worrying about tests, and all that wonderful stuff. it makes me so mad because i want to be care free too, but nooo, i can't.

i wish the school year can just end already. i dont really mind about the social part anymore, i can do that later

blahhhhhh

senior year

senior year...so many things i can say with the past weeks i've been a senior. so much work, so much things to think about. lower class men that say, "oh, seniors have it so easy. they get to have 5 classes and then go home." pssh, they have no idea. even though some seniors take 5 classes, we still got more stuff to worry about. let's see...um, COLLEGE is a big one. applications, cal grants, scholarships, SAT scores, ACT scores, and on top of that, everyone wants us to get a 4.00 GPA. wow, no wonder all my friends that were seniors slacked off A LOT.

what else...other than academic stuff, homecoming is coming up! i wish i can dance with everyone. this is the FIRST year EVERYONE i hang out with will be dancing. makes me sad, because i can't dance. why? SATs...studying for them. can you imagine if i did dance? i would mix up dance moves with SAT vocabulary. that would for sure suck.

well, overall...senior year has been an emotional roller coaster for me...grades went up...they went down..they went even lower...got up again...yup friends drifting apart...yeah...being emo status x]

just wanted to add...

every fourth of july has always been the worst day for me. every fourth of july, i always end up crying. it's been something i've been really used to for the past 4 years...this year isnt any different..

seems like everyone here doesnt remember this day as a sad one, on the other hand...i havent forgotten.

i've written about this before...so many times before, but i think it's time that i re-write what i think. because things change over time

you were such an inspiration to me when you were here. you still are. throughout the past years, it hasnt been easy for me, no doubt. i've gone up with the toughest problems i've ever faced. i dont know how i got through them without the help of god. what else have gotten me through these problems? the answer is thinking of you...it really helped me, because i know you wouldnt have given up.

i know you're not gonna read this, the person i've been truly missing for the past 4 years...i just wanted to get this out because it's been burning me up inside.

like i said before, i truly miss you and i love you. i wish i can say it to you face to face, but unfortunately i can't.

july 4, 2008 10 PM

i cant believe that i've held up for this long.

i really miss you and i hope you're doing ok for this amount of time that i havent seen you...4 years...wow
