so far, i haven't finished anything on my list of things to do :( except D2 for yearbook ahaha D:

albert says Christmas is the time for honesty?
but if i were to be honest it'd be full of _______ bcus too many people read this blog. so maybe new years :)

HERE'S TO THE BIRTHDAY BOY WHO SAVED OUR LIVES.

Listen to my song :)

steffo is almost done with college applications! then she can play play play all day. FALSE, seniors got an inordinate amount of homework -___-

HAPPY BIRTHDAY SIMRAN.

atm, i am rewriting all the reasons why i would attend an all female college.

i will be back.

To unknown land!

today is my mother's birthday. we went out to lunch at fontana's, the same restaurant we eat at every year around Christmas and we sat at the same table we always sit at.
afterwards, we went to beard papa's to buy CREAM PUFFS, one of God's many blessings :)
we also went to the japanese import store next door called daiso and bought way too many cute asian things. all 1.50 O_O hahah hmm i got so excited :P
this one tall japanese man walked up to me and said loudly "BECAUSE OF YOU" and walked off. then the white man crouching in the aisle beside me said "STOP DOING THAT, NO ONE CAN TELL YOU'RE TALKING TO ME" and i lolled.

hmmm tomorrow, my mother is forcing me to get my hair thinned T_T
blargg, i hope the lady doesn't chop off like 50 gajillion inches bcus if she does, i'll be very very angry.

atm, i am writing my cornell supp. ALMOST THERE. JIA YOU.

GUTENTAG :P

BTW
it's raining :)

secret #10
i wanted my first kiss in the rain.

MUCH LOVE

i'm happy.

sigh, i've been kinda D:< at certain people recently but that's just the way it is :/ and i'm sorry but asdkfl i can't help it T_T
my dad comes home tonight
my cousin leaves for NY tonight

i didn't feel like writing today so i submitted two of my common app colleges and i FREAKED OUT bcus it told me i couldn't change my personal statement (when applying to different colleges) and mr walsh AND brianchao told me i could T_T
all i can say is THANK GOD for collegeconfidential.com
i learned how to replicate my original common app bahaha :P

and now i'm being paranoid about how i submitted and it SAYS i submitted but some of the yellow squares aren't turning into green trianglesssss

sigh i can't wait till this whole horrible ordeal is over.

I SMELL RICE.

i want to go buy nail polish with simran and go on a movie date with deniz and her sister and her sister's bff and i want toooo go to the tech museum and go to christmas in the park
and not do my homework
and i want to go to the movies right noww and watch a chickflick and watch a meteor shower :)
<3

i believe that the meaning of life is love.
david kastelman believes it is helping others out of the goodness of your heart.
deniz says it is mayhaps to serve God. i agree.

when it comes to loving you, all the things i would dooo~
been waiting for this day for far too long
i never could imagine you so strong

and apps
and several academic commitments

i'm really really happy :)

I just want youu

i'm getting lazy with this updating thing.

ramble.
this week was slow. really slow... and i didn't get to see martin like i was supposed to so....i'm kinda screwed in terms of apps :/ everyone's been getting in everywhere and i'm honestly really proud and happy for them. srsly. but i feel sooo jealous too....hahaha so selfish :/
i did ALRIGHT on thiele's test and i think i did pretty well on the apes test :)

hrmm i need to work on my apps.
then i can truly be freeeeeeee

i'll bbl :)

Do it all again

"I believe that the review is lengthy
enough that you should have PLENTY of things to do during that time. If I
find that this is not the case, that will not be good for future assessments
of your knowledge. Given that you are the self-proclaimed greatest AP Stats
class, I envision that this will not be an issue."
-troy thiele

PAHAHAH thaaas right :)

RANDOM THOUGHTS-DECEMBER 08
i'm super impressed that we raised over 14,000 dollars for feed the children O_O
i need to buy henna a cake and card tomorrow
i really don't want to write my personal statement :(( but i really NEED TO!
my secret santa is SOOO cute <3 and i love them.
we were talking about eugene's "juniors ftw" message at the end of that one mass email (which was TOTALLY inappropriate btw) and sean told us that he couldn't figure out what FTW meant, "i thought it was like wtf backwards, JUNIORS F--- THE WHAT?"
lolzz :)
the stuco sweatshirts make me want to order yb sweatshirts now.
i need a life outside of harker T_T
i want to be in college now. i'm jealous of early kids :/ steffo=stupid
BUY CANDY GRAMS :)

bbl. gotta write some stuff about myself (college apps :()

So sick

literally :(

this is the worst time for a senior to get sick and usually i don't get sick until after the stress but i guess my body isn't up for that. WHY immune system, WHY??

today was stressful yet strangely satisfying. yearbook is ALMOST done and the math test today was OKAY :) but knowing thiele's test, i can never be sure. he says we need our "game faces" for class tomorrow and i'm kind of worried about that.
anway. i need to see mr. walsh soon D: siigh.

this break was real good though :)

BBL.
daddy leaves tonight :(

EDIT:
i just watched KUNGFU DUNK
and it was SOO GOOD in the cheesy, really fake, corny, chinese movie kinda way :B pahaha JAY WAS SMOKIN' :))
NOELLY, WE MUST WATCH TOGETHER BCUS
....
O_O hahaha
soo ballin' AND he kicks ass
siigh, whurr are these people in real life? hahaha
he's not even that good looking but he's soo attractive
and then i spent forever looking for the OST just for that tofu-gongfu song bahahha
and i found it.
CONTENT WITH LIFE. sort of

in the process of looking for my AP psych test prep book, i piled all my SAT books in one big stack and it comes to about half thigh O_O
yet, looking at it gives me such a sense of accomplishment.
...
which, for some reason, reminds me of how i IMed noel in a panic the other night bcus i was freaking out about INDENTS on my UC app.

what the eff. i DLed itunes (no i didn't have it before) a few months ago just so i could listen to kkimchee's song and for some reason, everytime it askes for an update or whatevs, it's in KOREAN. GREAT, i can't READ THAT T_T
and sometimes, when i import chinese songs, it's in half korean half chinese characters. fantastic.

i'd like to point out that hit-5, although does not produce the best songs ever, has very good looking people in it. namely ze mei dao :B

lolz this tofu song is awesome.

Reality

friday was relatively enjoyable, mai and i went on yet another adventure that involved a lot of food, dance was pretty fun too. then we had dinner, me and a bunch of dudes.
story of my life :/
i need some girl friends.
and i've spent all day today "working" and lazing around, i really have to stop being so lazyyy :(

i was reading this girls blog and she was pretty negative in it and she doesn't seem like that when i'm around her so i was thinking that it's kinda sad that people are so good at hiding away how they feel. i suppose it's a good thing too, sometimes, but i think that wearing you heart on your sleeve is an important part of building human relationships...

[16:35] steffo: you know deniz, it's a good thing w're not depressed.
[16:36] deniz: yeah
[16:36] deniz: either that or theres something wrong with us
[16:36] steffo: AHAHAHAAHAHAHHAAHA
[16:36] deniz: because were seniors and we should be depressed
[16:36] deniz: haha

siiigh

things to do:
[ ] 2 apsa pieces (at least)
[x] 6.1-6.2 homework for stats
[x] 5 sources for a research paper in english
[ ] work in app/write two essays
[ ] math test corrections

i wan't wait for second semester....

Silence

it was pretty hard today, not talking. i broke it a couple times, once at dinner and once during first period when i sneezed.
"bless you"
"thank you!"
....

but alas, i cannot actually blog bcus i have to write 2 UC essays and study for a massive APes test
and my head hurts :(
siiigh if i don't write my essays martin says i will suffer the wrath of tarik T_T
____'s 38 year old turkish boyfriend who is bald.
which means my hair will fall out!!

mr. walsh sure is a weird one.

D:<

"petition to reinstate the right of senior quotes...."
...right?

[20:40] k: I DONT CARE
[20:40] k: at all
[20:41] S: THEN WHY'D YOU SIGN THE PETITION
i wonder how much of the petition means anything...?

the only thing it accomplishes/will accomplish is to make us, the yearbook editors, look bad.
i say this not only to inform you that nothing is going to change, but also to demonstrate how stupid this whole thing is.
and why the whole school?

siigh.
well, as everyone is entitled to their own opinion, i suppose i should let them have their fun.
although this is rather bothersome.

btw:
"Furthermore, the fact that the design aspect of the yearbook is placed above the students' creative minds is somewhat troublesome."

contradiction :)

it was well written though, quite humorous. we read it aloud in class.

on a different note, i'm pretty bummed that our draw for CCS was so bad, i mean, if we had met up with mitty, say, in the finals, i bet we'd have gotten a CCS shirt. if we have to lose to them eventually, might as well get a free shirt out of it.
cap and gown was boring today

I WILL BE SILENT TOMORROW.
good thing too bcus i don't want to deal with the bitching and moaning about senior quotes.
ENOUGH, I SAY.

11

happy 11/11 :)
(happy birthday choi minhwan! :])

1. i wish there were more hours in a day
2. i hope that one of the following teachers would kiss a pig: dr. schatz, dr. harley, mr. williamson, and mr. triefenbach. even if i were a junior, i'd love to see dr. schatz kiss a pig :) mmm delicious :9
3. it's pepero day and no one gave me any :( i must be super unloved!
4. here is what mr. sutton wrote to me in an email:
Well, we are busy taking the test now and miss your presence very much. We know that you are fighting (and we hope, winning) the good battle on the court! May your racket swing true, your serve be unstoppable and may you return to us soon ready to take the test.
this makes me want to study super hard :)
5. mr walsh told me that he doesn't get along with australians.
-_______-
6. i really despise those library sessions that teachers insist on giving us every year. for the past 6 years. i had one today :/
7. this cold weather makes me believe that i'd never survive on the east coast.
8. i'm frightened by the fact that we're playing mitty tomorow. we got such an unlucky CCS draw...
9. i love how our school loves to save the world.
10. miss this summer.
11. the light in my bathroom keeps flickering and i'm scared it'll go out whilst i am in the shower.

Banjjak, Banjjak

5 Things

1. i HATE when people leave boxes of food open. the food gets gross and stuff :/
2. sometimes i wonder what would have happened if i was one grade behind. would my grades be better? would i have a better shot at college?
but i'm VERY thankful i'm not in the class of 2010
3. i think some people on eaglepostsecret are over-dramatic and silly
4. highschool itself seemed better whilst we were freshmen
5. i'm hungry for some ramen, i always get hungry for ramen at this time at night.
mayhaps i should eat some. every night. lateee at night.
and then i will become fat.

不能说的秘密

hello, brand new four years.

i had mixed feelings towards this election and if i were old enough to vote, i'm (completely uninformed and) not even sure how i would have voted. let's just see how america goes now :)

after taking APes, i've decided that the world is a cruel, cruel place.
and that everyone has their priorities mixed up.
perhaps we should focus on environmental and population crises instead of threatening to nuke each other :/ and making enemies of each other. SAVE THE EARTH ! ahaha :B
but that's just me and i'm pretty naive.

today, liz and i beat ND, the same team that beat cecil+me on senior night. AHA avenged myself :)
it felt good. and cold. so i hope i don't get sick
11 weeks until january 15, the promise land awaits....
but i plan on finishing in 6-7 weeks.
JIA YOU :)

secret #9
this is going to come off really weird
but sometimes, i think about the apocalypse and i wish that Jesus would just come back now. i had that thought whilst i was in mandarin last week because i was not looking forward to the SATs on saturday.

To the ends of the earth.

it's going to be a loong night :(
this is not going to be a good week, i can feel it in my heart
ahahaha

RE: college apps
[18:29] steffothehottie: i mean i look pretty okay on paper
[18:29] simbutt: lol
[18:29] simbutt: you look pretty in person too
[18:29] simbutt: haha

RE: curling hair
megan: LOL dont be ridic. youre still a hottie if your hair looks like curled potatoes.

i have the best friends in the world ! :)

at the moment, i REALLY dislike college counseling and statistics.

ALSO, today i FINALLY go to go to tofuhouse and i've never finished those hotpot things but i did TODAY AND i felt SOO FAT but it felt SOOO GOOD. i even took a photo of this momentous occasion and it's now my phone background. ask to see it :)

WATCH ME
my hero for sure.

Arirang

sg wannabe :)
won showed me their live perf and i lovee that song. their voices are pretty and it makes me sleepy :)

RAMBLE.

Rain

100%

God heard me :)

this morning, i got up super early to get to my SAT almost late. it went way better than last time....i hope colleges don't pay particular attention to my GPA and my SAT IIs ahahaha.

i'm looking forward to giving away all my SAT books. i bet my room will be 2749839% cleaner after i get rid of them :)

two months to go, seniors! we're almost there...JANUARY, the PROMISED LAND.

THIS WEEKEND, I HAVE TO:
start-work on-finish my concentration piece #1.
catch up on stats hw, test on thursday :((
begin my "notes from a _______," connie's doing such an amazing one and i'm jealous :/
study for a mando char quiz
reread mods for psych and begin to study for an APES test
GET TEACHER RECS READY

and buy some cute winterclothes/GALOSHES <3

i feel so much more relieved now that SATs are over. a little more room to breathe....

this weather is amazing.

i'm pretty happy with my SAT though :)
i lost on senior night. almost undefeated for two years and i lose the most important match? T_T
on my mom drove over the curb which was kinda embarrassing -____-
but a phonecall and a text made me feel better :) a lot better.
my friends are osm.

^ made today soo much better
afterschool, mai and i did our ritual. and dance was fun too :) learned part of ugogirl AHA :D
afterwards...went with bar ger and pao to this..sports bar place
and ate 45 chicken wings between the four of us. MM SO GOOOD :D

FRIDAY RALLY:
i spent the first three periods of the day pissing my pants in anticipation of the rally
i was so scared !
BUT IT WAS AWESOME :) especially since we owned the other classes DESPITE our disadvantage :) i was soo happy.
i heard mr daren talking to mr draper. it's a close one!
either way, the rally was really fun and i loveee our class :)
the sophomores were amazing this time. no offense, juniors, below par compared to last year. you guys were just too good last year :/

we spent two hours folding homecoming programs. i got tired of my own face :(

FRIDAY NIGHT:
ahah we missed the whole game T_T but we got to ride amazingly fun golfcarts.
i feel vain talking about it but when we rolled around to where the seniors were and the place exploded, i never felt so thankful and happy for a class like that.
BTW, we won tug of war :)
there was a tie for queen and i felt happy because i guess we truly represent our class in different ways.
it was also one of the few times i was glad our color's white. we were blinding :)
I CAN'T ASK FOR A BETTER CLASS THAN '09 :)!!!

SATURDAY:
i woke up at like 12 -____- way to go steffo....
i missed my senior portrait appt.
so i showered and ran to harker to do that. then i came home and did NOTHING for like two hours and then i had to go back to harker for dinner :/ NO HOMEWORK DONE WHATSOEVER and next week is a BEAST.

we had dinner at tanglewood which was mega fun, we broke the record with an 800 dollar dinner O_O and thenn we took 934983 photos. i got tired of smiling :(
we helped endorse GUCCI ahahaha and we finally got to do our mannequin poses at H&M after begging them to let us borrow their windows. a huge crowd of people gathered and i had never felt so self-conscious or awkward in my life but it was SO MUCH FUN.

then! back to harkerr
we spent forever in the bathroom and then got too freaked out to walk down the dark hallway by ourselves. we waited for deejay to save us even though it was like 20 ft. colby thoroughly freaked me out and i refused to move.
our entrance was spectacularly fun and i felt like a celebrity.
HC court was never my thing but i am so glad i did it.
the dance was soo fun, a whole lot better than the first mixer (there, i said it) we really do have to stop hiring the same lame dj though...
LETHAL INNOVATION FTW!

basically,
it was an awesome hc week
and the best last hc week i could ask for
but now, it's back to the humdrum of school :/

PHOTOS :)

WHO ROCKS THE HOUSE?

HC RALLY TOMORROW AND I AM SO SO SO NERVOUS :(
the relay is a little more chill this year, esp for the princesses but i got the one hard part :( bcus it's "in my blood." RIDICULOUS, i SAY. just because mulan is my great great aunt -_____-
...just kidding?

the junior dressup was...better than i expected but ridiculously bad compared to ours <3 :)
it was SO WORTH IT, all our hard work. bcus we looked GOOD. even mr. daren said so :))

MR DRAPER IS AN AWESOME CLASS DEAN.

the other day, deniz and i went through the hc court photos and it was RIDICULOUS, they RADIATE BEAUTY. well, except my photos. but WOW. deniz had to close them, it was too intense.
esp those upperclassmen ;)

i know that the juniors really really want to win. and we do too! but even if they do, i'm satisfied with this year, this is the most spirit i've seen with our class and i love us for it. it doesn't matter if we lose, as long we do our best, right?
i'm having so much fun :)

our advisors are srsly the best! they do so much for us :) ms. aguero says it's bcus she loves us and she wants try our hardest, she says that it doesn't matter if we don't get first or second (or third...) for the eagle, we tried our best :P

ahhaha deniz: "O MY GOD. SOME IDIOT FRESHMAN IS MOLESTING OUR PEGASUS O_O"

this week makes me not want to do hw.

SENIORS '09, CAN'T FIGHT THE WHITE :)

ALL ABOUT DENIZ

deniz and i were in the same homeroom in 7th grade except we don't remember each other. much.

for some reason, i have a ton of photos of deniz in seductive poses from freshman year. were we even friends then?
here is a sample.


































sexy, no?

now, we are the gut friends.
we bought butt jeans today and ate greasy foods.

the end!

pee.s.
SENIORS FTW <3

[23:20] x swirly whirl x: you're gongjoo now so it doesnt matter. [23:20] x swirly whirl x: you just revel in your own attractiveness

AHAHAA.

the parking lot looked SO AWESOME today :)
i did see scott underwood driving down the street with seniors painted on the back of his window though. senior accident or junior traitor?

i'm so not motivated to do anything bcus we don't have school tomorrow.
BUT I'M SO EXCITED FOR SPIRIT :) i'm amazed at...this year! haha and i was SO happy when mr draper interrupted our announcement to tell us how amazing we were :) ahosfijhoijdflk!!!
i love us i love us.
and i'm also amazed at how much money we saved O_O esp with the dress up, i wish it were worth more though...shelby and i worked so hard on it!!!
I DON'T KNOW WHY EVERYONE HATES US.
our skit and our eagle promote school and inter-class unity!

i was not extremely impressed with the sophomore dress up today.
but the freshmen were cute!
i'm looking forward to what the juniors will be wearing, if i see anything racist i'm laying the smack down D:<

we're going to look good.

LIZ AND I WON TODAY. the other team scored a total of...7points? in 12 games/two sets. TEEHEE <3

tonight, we ate dinner in honor of masha's birthday and it was super fun, it's been a while since we hung out like that.

COLLEGE ESSAY WRITING TIME.

today was an amazing day until i signed online tonight.
/EDIT.

1. buy a dress!
2. go to the picnic -_-
3. do some bio SAT D:
4. finish hw and do duhh studying.
5. sleeeeeeeep

EDIT:

for your viewing pleasure
(it's a series.)

FAREWELL CHILDREN.

oh, and it seems as though the newspaper has published my URL so,
HELLO HARKER :)

HAHAHAH clearly no one else besides the seniors is used to these chain emails.

EDIT:
i feel weird now that my blog may possibly have an audience but all the better for what i'm about to rant about.
1. for like, the first month of school, countless people came up to me to bitch and moan about how they didn't get yearbook forms or a spring supp. this summer. not only did a pitiful number of students come pick them up when we distributed them, a RIDICULOUS number of them were found on the ground. thanks a lot, student body, you guys really know how to make us feel like dirt T_T
YOU DON'T DESERVE OUR SWEAT AND TEARS D:<
2. i never realized that senior quotes were such a big deal.
take it up with student council? get our bathroom sinks fixed first, please.
it's pretty much getting ridiculous, i thought this bashing was reserved for the end of the year when the books came out but i guess it came early this year.

the point is,
people who have no idea what goes on inside that room for countless hours the entire year have no right to criticize.
lastly,
stay out of my business, and deniz's business. bcus it's not yours :)

/EDIT

OH OH AND
"You should see the inter-class shitstorms we superior seniors have."
-daniel hawking
HAAHAHHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH
btw, this email chain is ridiculously EPIK, harker kids officially have no lives. and yet i sit here and read it. T_T

Closer

WOO i feel so relieved. about everything (HC!!). except the mega huge stats test tomorrow :(( boo

:) thanks.

MR. DRAPER IS THE BEST!! i love our class! so much. :) our dressup day is going to be BOMB. our eagle is beautiful, our skit is cute, our flag is cuuuute :))
what i love best about our class is the involvement, the everybody part, of everything.

RAIN PLEASE :)

i really want the rainy season!! it's finally feeling like fall :D

today was a pretty good day, as good as mondays get anyways, they're so long :(

1. i have massive spider bites on my leg and it's NASTAY.
2. i'm super psyched for hc! even if we lose :) i'ma have some FUN.
3. we had a psych pop quiz and a ridiculous APes test. teachers love to see us suffer.
4. college essays are supposed to reflect us so what does it mean when i can't think of anything...?
5. lol albert chen's new fb picture is a ridiculous photo of me T_T
6. for once in never, mai is being nice and i am not.
7. no one's on my team :((

I feel guilty

that i just got out of bed :( and i didn't go to church!
boooooo

SATs were exhausting :( but the last SATI i have to take EVER. it wasn't a particularly painful experience and i think i did alright, i hope the curve will be good this month T_T bcus it SUCKED in march. anyways, i was pretty tired after and really didn't start homework until 10PM -___- but i did go to johnny rockets with deniz after a long month of ramadan :)) SO GOOD.
but we didn't buy anything after that bcus we felt fat :/

friday was a relatively decent day :) well, it started off CRAP.
and first period did NOT help, mr. gaston tore us apart. second week in a row!! when does this stop T_T bahhh. well, it's supposed to help us, right -__-
classes were okay after that, i ate lunch with danielle and she's right, it was the hardest i've laughed in a while.
the psych test (i think) was pretty easy, my grade depends on it though so i don't wanna jinx it....we got let out like half an hour early so brian and i went to yb/np to hang out and talk about
...SATs :(

AFTERSCHOOL, mai and i went to mitsuwa (reliving old traditions) and spent more than an hour in kinokuniya hahha! they moved our favorite books T_T and mitsuwa got rid of PURIKURA so now i'm super sad :(( but we ate lots of good food.
dance was fun :))

THE END,
this entry was kind of pointless.

homecoming is soon and for some reason, that's even more stress :/ college sucks. school sucks.

i wish i went to krn bbq with the guys friday night :((

EDIT:
so we watched this video in APES about the population crisis and i never realized how bad it was! and i've now decided that the world SUCKS bcus we're fighting over retarded thing when we have many more important things to deal with.
it also makes me so thankful for the things i DO have, but i wish i didn't have them. if the world didn't have such a huge difference in living standards, half our problems would be solved.
DOUBLE STANDARD ALERT.
1. i think that china's one child policy is not getting it's due credit. no matter how you look at it, it's the most effective method of population control yet. america calls this a violation of human rights. PAH, okay, send money and food to every third-world country that needs to keep all of its people warm and fed, after you do this, i'll listen to your definitions of "human rights."
and it's not like the highupthere people don't know this, they just like to manipulate the public in terms of international relations. or i'm giving world leaders too much credit?
2. japan's whole "pure blood" thing is a big ridiculous, 99% of japan is japanese! i understand the whole asian culture thing (even now it's kinda rare to mixblood...?) but not taking immigrants is slightly hitler-esque (as it always has been, we saw this back in the rape of nanjing times...) and NOT helping japan's future economy. HAVE MORE BEBES D:
3. india's booming population problem makes me soo sad :(( especially what the wives go through D:
4. i wonder what would happen if america suddenly had a huge babyboom. and i mean huge. huger than the early '90s (which is why we're screwed for college!! LAMESAUCE!)
5. i lol at people who say "boycott chinese toys!! augh lead paint!" china is too self-sustaining to give a shizz.
6. simi thinks that being here for the end of the world would be pretty sick. HAA! me too. yaddida mean, when Jesus comes and stuff. (HAR HAR MR DAREN :P).
7. the only thing the world really lacks is compassion and understanding. THE WORLD IS INCAPABLE OF PEACE AND LOVE.

I HAVE THE BEST FRIENDS IN THE WORLD, I really do.

RONK RONK! and there is no way you can be sad. essspeshully if you look in the mirror while doing this or if you make your arms into wings and crouch at the same time.

he's got to be the weirdest kid in the world, but the method works....

it makes me laugh so hard. and it would have been more funny, cept it's me :(

JIA YOU, jinyi :((

i wanna sleep away the next two weeks/until december?

只要笑一笑，没什么事是过不了的。过不了的。

A few observations for the day.

1. today's weather was so nice! i mean during tennis practice, overcast and warm :) i liked it. i can't wait for the rainy season!
2. our class is really good looking. it's ridiculous.
3. SENIOR YEAR, it's crunch time :(
4. i hear so much backstabbing and badmouthing people O_O makes me wonder what people say about me behind my back. i know i gossip a lot :X but i'm a nice person! i think...?
5. EVERYONE NEEDS TO RELAX.
6. this thiele homework is RIDIKULOUS.
7. the juniors have fallen into the "oh" trend. "oh ten." cool, guys :)
8. the class of "oh ten" is really getting owned by collegeboard. i almost feel bad for them, but not really. i hate collegeboard!!! and i should have tried the ACT before taking the SAT again T_T STUPIDDD
9. i miss asia.
10. it's going to be a long night.

:D

HAPPY OCTOBER!
THAT much closer.
go go '09, you can do it! :)

Chut Kiseu

i'm so overwhelmed with school these days, what with yearbook, tennis, dance?? (??), SATs this saturday, and college apps??
i cannot wait until december.
and it's not even october :((

at one point, i might have liked the class of 2010 as a whole. i thought they were cute with their annual christmas parties and what not. but then i heard them talk sht about seniors way too many times for unjustified reasons
and i've simply lost respect for them.
i like them individually! but not together -__-
i am no fan of this whole smack talk business because to be fair, they are good competition on wednesday.
but i hope karma bites them in the ass >:D

i have nothing to write atm. but i will later!

EDIT:
I. AM. FRUSTRATED.
1. i suck at art.
2. i suck at math.
3. english was okay
4. yearbook <3
5. mandarin was boring. and i was getting really annoyed at people during lunch -___- grow up please :)
6. i don't like psych.
7. apes was alright :)

Always be my baby.

i don't know if it's just me but this year, fridays never felt so good.
these weeks have been too long and too stressful and tiring....
weekends are well deserved.

or they're just extra time.

we won on friday! there's something about friday night lights that make me so happy.
it's the amazing atmosphere at school football games that make me feel so good.
and i'm so happy we won, bcus our boys deserve it!

we also made 40dollers and steff-o is happy.

BUT. the SATs are on saturday! saaad face :(

i was thinking about graduation the other day. and it made me sad so i stopped.

have you ever loved someone/something so much you felt giddy/nervous/pain/joy/kindagross inside all at the same time? i do, all the time.

secret #8
i'm afraid of being forgotten.

EDIT:
mr. draper sent our last last spirit email like this:

Go Seniors!!!

Jeff Draper
Proud Dean of the Senior Class

aw :)

at least four of my photos have been pfed on fb. i'm proud.
shelby, anteneh, connie, sean morgan, check itt

Inspire me.

today was a terrible day but it ended up really well. or maybe i'm just so apathetic towards everything that i'm just always...happy?

first period....ms. aguero totally ripped us apart T_T i'll admit that this project really sucked for me and i didn't really put much heart into it....
and she said she was disappointed in us :( i hate when adults say that. and then she singled out shelby and it pretty much sucked from there on. and she totally got on lauren about coming late and told her she wasn't committed -___- poor lauren.
i don't think we'd still be here after a semester of pre req if we weren't committed. anyways. that wasn't fun to hear first thing in the morning.
advisory was fun though :)
second period was lame since we discussed our tests and i ended up with a B T_T BAH and i felt like i did so well on it!
psych was SUCK. omfg i think i'm getting an interim. and i have like a borderline B?? schatz is the only senior teacher i know who cares about the whole 85 and below business. and now i have two weeks to bring it up. soo sophomore year repeat. that was the last time any teacher really got on me for that -____-
LAME. the class isn't fun at all :(
APES was fun, though :) haah our class is so chill.
TENNIS MATCH! we wonn :) against castilleja :D i think that moni and i played pretty okay today :) so that makes it so much better. WE'RE UNDEFEATED. perhaps that's why i'm in a good mood. and i'm done with hw and it's only 1040! well. "done"
i still have to do some sketches for apsa and catch up on math hw.

this is a really lame and wordy post but i felt like recapping my bad/okay day.

geez i read so many emo and depressed posts/hear about these things from people. LIFE WILL GET BETTER, DON'T WORRY.
STEFF-O SAYS RELAX! or maybe i should stop this business and get on things that need urgent seeing-to such as my college applications....
not that i'm behind but....
SATs IN 9 DAYS?? D:

to all the juniors....
senior year is harder so suck it up! there's a long way to go :(
i'm so ready for school to be over. it's not even october. HAHAH last whine of the day, i promise. junior year, i thought, taught me to get over myself. sort of.
NO MORE COMPLAINING, STEFF-O.

but the year seems like it's going by so slowly. every friday feels good and well-deserved, though. which is good. and every weekend feels so short. which is very bad.
i'm looking forward to tomorrow though,
we're going to present at the assembly on our trip to europe :) bah my fug face is going to be on display for the whole high school T_T
and tomorrow is the football game! :)
super exciting.

I WISH SEAN WOULD NOT MOVE T_T

i had a dream about homecoming last night -___-

NEXT LONG TERM DESIRE: PSAT DAY/APP DAY/SENIORS DON'T GO TO SCHOOL DAY/HC SHOPPING DAY :))

HOMECOMINGGG <3 teehee :)

this is a boring post. i bid you good night !

EDIT:
i lied, i'm back. to whine.

AUGHASJDSOFJOAIA!!!!
psych is killing me T_T i totally slaved over a stupid book that isn't even worth much and due on the same day as a massive test that i didn't even do as well i as should have i guess and THEN the next day we had a pop quiz on which i probably scored 30%. max. AND we probably have another one tomorrow on WHAT? I DON'T KNOW. GAAAHAIDLF

brian was bothering me about why i was so happy
and i said "WHY, AM I NOT ALLOWED TO BE HAPPY FOR NO REASON?"
and dr. schatz said "not in my class."
that REALLY freaked me out T_T

the end. of meeee :(

EDIT2:
I HATE. WHEN I HATE. MY WORK.

rararara

:)

HULLO ANGELI :D

Love like Oxygen

i went to harker this morning to take retakes, that was fun :P

i ate too much at lunch.

i hate writing poems about neurons.

my mom told me about this seminar she listened to recently that had multi-ethnic speakers from local companies speak. they were all female bigshots.
Q and A
Q: how did you get the place you're at in such a male-dominated field?
A: i've never though about it. i grew up in china and the communists teach that men and women are equal. women own half the sky, we are capable of doing anything men are.
owned.

BBL!

Matriculation was less than four weeks ago.

O_O senior year is slooow
that's good and bad :( :)

this week was pretty okay!
i felt good about my stats and mando tests and i'm totally :D over my english paper :))
apes kinda sucked though :(
i got to play one tennis match and i won!
wasn't very productive with APSA
the fall sports program is selling sooo well, if only the printer would cooperate!

week in a nutshell^

this afternoon was fun, i got to wear anthony's jersey even though he's crippled (in the brain)
i was so excited!! i've never worn a jersey before O_O hahaha
i want to wear one to hc :B hahaha
today, i hung out with juniors D: grosss
just kidding. sort of.
i like individual juniors so yeah i hung out with the ones i liked.
the game was super fun
although kinda heartbreaking at the end :/
our boys were amazing, though!
they take it so seriously and i love that.

JAMES LICK, next week :))

senior portrait retakes tomorroww blerrhgghhg D:

Love story.

A woman's heart should be so lost in God that a man needs to seek Him in order to find her.

I was the scarlet letter

GERRY
the essence of gerry is :) :( D: :D :/ :P
TADA!
the mehnee faces of gerry !

today we played our first match against fremont high. we won! by three points in the tiebreak but it was a really frustrating match bcus the girls definitely thought we were cheating/making bad calls so they called line judges and talked in cantonese the whole time so we were like -___-

i need some music :)

taylor swift is so mega gorgeous T_T in her video :(( so jealous!

i want a romeo!

edit:
I NEED GIRL TALK WITH MIMI! i'm looking forward to EH tomorrow with her :)
BTW HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MY BESTEST FRIEND!!! 17 :D

I'M EXCITED FOR HOMECOMING!
daniel hawking is such an epik speaker/person in general.
bah i'm excited i'm excited
i'm going to be annoyed though, if the juniors show up in kimonos and rice picker hats and get points. IGNORANT FOOLS D:<
although kimonos, i suppose, were based off the hanfu.
HANFU > QIPAO i wish we wore those instead T_T
tahahha
our last homecoming :(

secret #7
i'm scared of being alone.

Riding phone lines

THINGS TO ACCOMPLISH BEFORE GRADUATION (so far).
1. get to know everyone in the senior class
2. wear someone's jersey at homecoming :)
3. watch the sunrise on the beach with my friends (minus laguna)
4. look decent at formal events :) hahaahahahah

RECAP OF PAST FEW DAYS!
football game was SUPER fun :) i got to hang out with a lot of friends and we printed like 14 FSPs hahaha because the printer was stupid and nirjhar managed to sell all of them in like ten minutes!! i spy income :)
so i spent 2 hours watching a printer print. and talking with friends while they stayed on the border of the forbidden room (44). and then seany and i went to the mall to buy stuff for the dance! :D
the game was AMAZING, our team was AMAZING!!!
dance was slightly stressful until it started, mr daren was upset that we came half an hour later than we said we would (we called!!) and the decorations were meh bcus the glow in the dark paint didn't have enough time to set AND the dj came 15 minutes before 8. SO nervewracking. besides that, the atrium is NOT the ideal place for a dance, i came out sweating like no other and mostly deaf :/
but i had fun!!
sunday,
i went to church, than to crepe daniel with my sisters, mother, cousin, and viriginia! afterwards, i got my hair cut. lol second time EVER at a real place, and this is why i don't pay for haircuts. it looks exactly the same as when my mom cuts it -__- sort of. then i did hw and cried and whined about college until the wee hours of the morning/worked on my personal statement.

this week, i have three tests
and i feel like school is REALLY starting now. i didn't do an SAT practice test this weekend :( and my personal statement is crap.
BUT
i'm playing tomorrow! and the fall sports program came out despite all the chaos and problems.

i REALLY don't want to do this psych "book"...

What goes around comes around

this post is long overdue.

To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven:
A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted;
A time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up;
A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance;
A time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together; a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing;
A time to get, and a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time to cast away;
A time to rend, and a time to sew; a time to keep silence, and a time to speak;
A time to love, and a time to hate; a time of war, and a time of peace.

Ecclesiastes 3:1-8

things to learn:
there are seasons of life, they have beginnings and endings, time does not stand still.
there are ups and downs, and sometimes, little satisfaction in hope for the next season.
so recognize the season you're in, don't forget that it will be over. realize that time doesn't stand still nor can it be reversed.

encouragement:
live in the here and now, don't be naive or overly concerned with what is out there, be on your knees and know where God is taking you.

(lesson courtesy of eric maxwell :))

like learning to fly or falling in love

one step at a time.

i've been writing one paper all night, thank goodness it's my only homework.
today was a good day :)

i love my class. so very much :))
we might suck at spirit but we have character! hahaa!

Our focus should be on unity, not pushing a personal agenda or participating in other partisan actions. As a member of the Class of 2009, the greatest class to be present on this campus - no, the greatest class to be gracing this campus with our very presence - I will personally state that I, [insert name here!], will put forth my best foot in regards to supporting whichever decision you lot come up with.

THANK YOU, DANIEL HAWKING, thank you! :)

nothing says bonding like a chain email between 173 kids.
ohana, '09.

Nuh Reul Saranghae

for some reason, when i watch big bang's parody of S.E.S, it makes them like 5x more attractive. same with watching the boyband collab "WONDERBOYS" hahaah that stuff is SO good and taemin is SO cute! and seungri :)
however, jokwon has the best expressions and shindong is the manliest....
sungmin is just plain girl :(

lol TODAY someone said
"i never knew yearbook had so many hot girls!"
....
HAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAAHAHAHAHA
:DD
and also
"if you were coming it'd be ten times more fun"
:(( I WISH I WERE, I WISH I WERE.

anyways, the FSP is nearly there! i'm kinda proud of it :)

I AM SO EXCITED FOR HOMECOMING
i LOVEEEE our class
our email chains are SOO STUPID and every year, we manage to have a couple, but they're so hilarious and i like reading them :B hahaaha
i hope the juniors get the theme they voted on ;)

TEEHEEEE
anyhooo

EVERYONE NEEDS TO BUY THEIR YEARBOOK AND GO TO THE MIXER ON SATURDAY! i'm sooo psyched :))

i feel happy for some reason :/
should i? hrm

bahaha i hear beijing huang ying ni downstairs
they still play that??

WHAT about my mom?

i'm so torn D:
the whole santa catalina tournament + FSP release is killing me.
i feel like most of responsibility lies here while part of me wants to be there.
and i think that if this wasn't an issue, cecil and i would definitely be on the ladder as 3 doubles :(
I DON'T WANT TO REGRET THIS DECISION.

i'm kinda jealous of the team~

otherwise, this week has been alright. i'm getting used to the lack of sleep pattern i have going on here, and getting to school at an unGodly hour for various reasons...
WAFFLE WEDNESDAY TOMORROW! :)
free food makes getting up early allll better.

on another note, i'm COMPLETELY psyched for the dance on saturday! i'm kinda sad that we're potentially losing 400 dollars just if those many people show up in neon clothes, 400 dollars we could have had!!! bcus honestly, i don't care if you guys dress up or not. 400 dollars! i suppose 200 bcus we split. but whatevs, it's going to be SO FUN.
i'm excited to DANCE THE NIGHT AWAAAY~
it's been too long :)

i'm yaaarninggg to move.
last night mai and i talked about all these dances we would learn/perform/dance production!! and i'm excited to do things. lol

I HOPE THE FSP FINISHES TOMORROW! i'm getting slightly frustrated with yb, i'm not blaming this entirely on ANYONE but i mean, we're all busy...
people just need to learn that these deadlines are VERY important D:<

i think i'm one of those people who need to be honest with themselves and everyone else.

Closer

dear steffo's blog,
HAPPY 100th POST! :)

i just drank this herbal tea that's made out of...甘草 and 经银花
and it has this strange sweet aftertaste, it's magical.
my mom told me to "watch my pimples" in case they disappear bcus of this stuff.
LOL thanks mom....

I HAVE TOO MUCH WORK THIS WEEKEND.

yesterday,
i woke up early to go to the dentist
then i went to blackford for 5 hours of dance
i did an SAT practice test
and worked on the FSP for 2 or so hours
then we got to see some people after the lawn-in which was fun :)
the weather was so perfect

too bad deniz and i were inside :(

now, i will share some sentences i found of interest in my SAT book:

"The effects of being in love are not only apparent in a person's behavior and appearance, but (answer c) also have an intangible influence on the person's outlook."

"By 2076, the United States will have been a nation for three hundred years, while, by the same year, China has been a nation for almost four thousand years." (mistake still present)

THE END. will blog when stress ends. which is never.

EDIT:
module two in the psych book is a BEAST
"Variations in language-spoken and gestured-may impeed communication across cultures, yet all languages share deep principles of grammar, and people from opposite hemispheres can communicated with a smile or a frown."
"We are each in certain respects like all others, like some others, and like no other. Studying people of all races and cultures helps us discern our similarities and our differences, our human kinship and our diversity."

i read too much today. and i'm not done yet :/

SOME THINGS NEVER CHANGE.
i don't care HALF as much as i thought i would
but as a friend?...seriously?
manwhore D:<

"sleep is for the weak." amen, julianne.

the psych book also says that we laugh 30 times more when we're with other people. bcus we don't laugh when we're by ourselves. but i've laughed SOO many times today and it felt good. i suppose i was talking to other people, but still alone.

i didn't go to church today but i prayed real hard. for everything to fall into place....

falling in love without you

:D :) :/ :| :\ :( D:

Gossip Boy

younha's new album is pretty :) i love her piano parts.
which reminds me that i still haven't seen the opening of gossip girl!!! SAD FACE (as gerry and won say loll)

[22:10] biettang: aww
[22:10] biettang: i miss you too

bahhh
:(

photo day is tomorrow! yeaaahh no. not excited :( i hate being unphotogenic.
I'M SO EXCITED FOR HOMECOMING :))
i hope tomorrow is fun.
it's too hot to do anything physical/statistics.
MEGAN MIGHT VISIT TOMOROW AGAIN <3
this post is rather sporadic.

on another note, if you have any classes in the S&T building (or even if you don't), try going upstairs and running by the soundproof walls really fast and close to the wall. you go deaf in one ear O_O it's pretty cool. i did it several times today.

Tragedy of the Commons

is what we had to read for APes yesterday, the title is so epic but the only thing epic about it is how ridiculously long and boring it is. well actually, it's not TOO bad but at 1am, it's pretty bad.
i'm considering rereading it for the quiz tomorrow, though.

we had people over at our house everyday this weekend and on sunday, albert and anthony paid me a visit. bcus the only way they would leave winny's house is if they could come to mine -_-
so we stood in my dark driveway and chatted. sooo shady.
anyways, that was exciting, kind of.
the yearbook party was also at my house on sunday and i'd say it was a smashing success :) i miss the old kids. BTW HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY JIEJIE :)
the food was excellent, as always.
i stayed up late working on APsa and the homework i procrastinated on the whole weekend :(

today would probably be a BAD day but it's not thursday and for some reason, i don't feel BAD.
i feel kind of happy all the time. i don't think i feel the extreme pressure yet. i realize it, though.
my locker hates me and wouldn't open the whole day until like, after college counseling :(
and i flunked my psych pop quiz bcus i don't have a book and blehhh i'm so annoyed, even though everyone failed it and she's dropping the lowest score...
i felt like i failed the FIRST QUIZ (beside summer reading) OF THE YEAR and yeah i felt pretty crappy. but not anymore :/
have i become apathetic? not really...
i don't know :/
i got to see won hee today during lunch. and i'm really happy that i'm seeing ana so much more than the past three years and simi is in my yearbook class :))
i don't see the guys THAT often i GUESS
at least brian thinks so :P haha i see you guys enough :)

mr. walsh is really cool, i think. he's gone all over the world and speaks so many different languages and has a great sense of humor :P plus, we got upgraded to the S&T building!! so exciting.
anyways, afterwards, i had to go to tennis :( tennis should be illegal on hot days like today. i sweat a lot and probably burned my cheeks (although not as bad as before).
TOMORROW IS WEDNESDAY AND I LOVE THOSE cept they're not as laidback as thursdays. i think bad days may fall less often on thursdays this year! my schedule is slightly in my favor. kind of.

in psych, we talked about how we can't really trust our own intuition and our feelings and our minds and whatever. that makes me VERY INSECURE.
God, why are we so complex?

i told my mom today about jose's adventure in mandarin in telling us that
他买了八只鸡。
and i asked her, WHY WOULD HE BUY THEM?
and she said
well we bought some in australia and you played with them when you were little and i was like
wtf
...i played with bebe chickens. LOL
apparently at the victora market in melbourne held every weekend, they sell strange things like bebe birdies :P

those were good times! the '90s, LOL
in australia,
i remember driving to sydney once WITHOUT MY SEAT BELT, i was born a rebel.
and being afraid to walk to the park because of wolves and dingoes. and when i would make my cousin buy me balloons even though all he wanted to do was watch basketball.
and when i visited my grandparents in shanghai, it was pouring rain. my grandma could still walk then :)
and when i went to fuzhou, my grandma made chicken soup and i planted a pipa tree. my grandpa killed it, i think. i used to make him send me monthly updates on how his i'm-going-to-quit-smoking plan was going. it didn't work :(
i also remember chasing down the ice cream man when we lived in the ghettos (jk) of berkeley with my daddy. and watching asian boys steal turtles from golden gate park every weekend, and flying kites on the beach!
my childhood was good.
i pity my sisters, somehow. they're growing up in a much sadder world.
is this tragedy of the commons? not really. i'm not exploiting all the good, natural, simple pleasures in life in self-interest. they just seem to disappear by themselves...
and i'm sorry for it.

i'd like to meet this ABC guy at my mom's work. but i'm afraid i might slap him.
he's a real asshole :)

LADIES AND GENDLEMEN

"LOVE IS"

i had posted this as my facebook status because i needed a new one and i was listening to the song by f.t. island at the moment. but i was also half hoping someone would fill in the blank, and james jiang did! his answer is:

"all around us."

this makes perfect sense :)

"SCANDAL"

2003->forever

this week was super good :) i didn't have tennis today so i met with mr. walsh with my parents and that didn't go as bad as i thought it would. THEN i got to hang out with megan and simi and ana and i was SO HAPPY, it makes me feel complete :) as ana said.
we showed her the new building and stuff
and it was the first time i went to the student loft. it largely resembles a child's playroom...
"it seems like america hates china"
HAHAAH yessir, it does seem like that...
we went to get PMT and updated each other on life
silence was comfortable :)

LOTS OF LOVE

evan's mom thinks that's what lol stands for!! how cute :)

i had a REALLY good day today despite the fact that i almost went the whole day without seeing my best friends. WHOLE DAY!
i love senior year :) despite the apps and shnitzle. and i feel good bcus i played okay todayy :))

yesterday, my daddy came home and gave me a gift (another olympic souvenir...) from ambition (yes that's his name). i went to his wedding a couple weeks ago and i barely know the guy but the note he wrote was SO cute. he wrote
to stephanie,
HAPPY EVERYDAY.
like, happy birthday happy anniversary...but happy everyday?? that DEFINITELY made me happy.

1. we looked at portfolios
adv. MR COLLETTI GOT US A CAKE, SOO cute it said "GO SENIORS!" it was adorable :))
2. statistics is really fun but thiele's syllabus is so hardcore it scares me.
5. boring kinda :((
6. PSYCH i lovee it
7. APES was fun lol our class is so chill and even though the S&T building is really boring, i kind of like it in there

it's almost the end of the first week and i have yet to visit the student loft or the SLEDGE! (now that i'm allowed to be in there)

my favorite class is AP ebadeezerin'
taught by max.

real first day of school!

it didn't even feel like school and my alarm didn't ring :( but all in all, it was a pretty good day :)
i'm really excited about my classes and one of the best things about harker is that the teachers are truly passionate about what they teach. so far, I LIKE SCHOOL :)

in a few weeks i'll probably hate it, but for now, i love it :)
AND tomorrow is wednesday which is the best ever.

1. APSA-small class of course, explored the areaa and talked about our portfolios
3. madness-ms. manning seems like a tough teacher :/ but i've heard good things about her teaching soo....we have a test tomorrow :((
4. yb-...nothing new? DANIELLE'S IN MY CLASS, I MISSED MY SLOTHING BUDDYYY and simi is in my class too :) too bad deniz isn't :(
5. mando-two new kids have ruined our class. just kidding, they're cute i guess. anyways, she's srsly cracking down this year, at least with all these new rules, we're going to learn something. hopefully.
6. psych-HOT, it's so hot in shah :( i have cool people in my class :)
7. APES-COLD hahaha in the S&T building. discussion was funny today, also have cool people :)

the end. i hate the handmaid's tale.

gj steffo you offficially suck at life

i can't find my schedule -____-
mebe i left it in mr daren's room. or deniz's car. ajdilfjgfgltjrkjedsfd
and one of my greatest fears is going to the wrong classroom/class!!!
anyways.

today was our last matriculation, but a good one i think.
online it says that matriculation starts at 8 but it really started at 9, it's not like we all run on AST. (asian standard time.)
but yeah so then it was pointless for link crew to come early.
i took photos for most of it and passed the camera on to deniz
the skits were pretty good, or well, as good as they get -_-
freshmen year was still the best :)
then we ribbon cutted the s&t building and explored
lunch
CLASS MEETING

ohh how i love 2009 :))

then we went to lockers and thenn
YEARBOOK WOORRKK!! which is fun. but also reminded me HOW MUCH STUFF we gotta do
blehh ~
i want to quit tennis :/

EDIT:
it's matriculation and we already have HW T_T
psych for those of you who FAILED at logging in to HHMS (like me)
check athena!!
i think it's nice that a few of my teachers emailed us before school "started"

SCHEDULE (as i remember it?)
1. AP studio art
2. AP stats
3. madness in lit (do i want to take this??)
4. YEARBOOK!
5. mando III honors
6. AP environmental
7. AP psych

i LOL at the acronym for human anatomy etc.
HAPY.
lolzz :)

TELL ME IF WE SHARE CLASSES. i'll find out tomorrow anyways but :/

today, deniz and i ate more chili fries which is kinda gross and i also got rejected by sushi boat when i asked them for an ad. LAMESAUCE, they seemed soo interested yesterday.
i did some random drawings in my sketchbook and wrote about myself for psych, which was fun i guess...
THIS YEAR IS GOING TO BE GOOD, let's make tomorrow good bcus MEBE as people like brian believe, the first day indicates how the year will be.
:)

tacotacotaco

school is tomorrow O_O
but i feel like i've already spent too much time at school this week.
on friday, i got to meet my LINK advisory! which was slightly exciting except that i forget their names already...except fred.
the sun was really hot T_T and we spent a lot of time outside playing with those unenthusiastic APEX people.
we lost.
after that, i went home and showered and came back for senior portraits, which was not so fun and very very awkward. that 2009 statue really has to go -_-
lol i had no idea handball was an olympic sport.
on saturdayy, i went to see the lovely emily chow at her showcase! which was amazing :) and my very first time seeing chinese dance! i think. mebe not, but mebe.
aftewards, deniz and i went to yearbook kinda and then got ready for gym jam which was fun as usual :) sooo long though
it started two hours earlier than most years
we took photos for the first part of the night
everything was pretty routine until movie time! we got taco bell :)) yomm
we "watched" john tucker, when a stranger calls, coach carter, and uhm dan in real life?
i didn't really watch anything, naomi and i left during the first meeting to have a little one on one girl talk (which we haven't had in forever!) in the hallway of main where other little groups of girls could be seen. unfortunately, that was ruined by boyss :(
so meny of them.
and because we had no desire to watch a scary movie, we all moved our crap outside and hung out in the lobby, which was fun haha
the night passed pretty quickly, especially since we were talking for most of it
third and last all nighter at gym jam :) :(

it was good seeing everyone again :) esp the guys
andd won hee!
i'll probably never see him again though bcus he's a junior now.
pity :(

and now i am so not ready for senior year to start T_T blehh~
i still have so many things to do
and i haven't bought all my books hahaha
hooray for getting out early tomorroww!

i'll write later. about important stuff and church this morning.

have a cookie, chris chase.

he probably thinks that the chinese also greased the batons of the US relay team.

my mom made me get up "early" on my only day to sleep in T_T i'm soo tired. and now she's ranting about SATs and how my priorities are wrong and blabaldsnlbla

i don't exactly know why i'm blogging so early in the morning. nothing has happened yet!

DAMAGED

i feel really bad for the US softball team who lost to japan haahah
at the same time it's so ironic, it's what the the US has been trying to show the whole time, that they don't consistently dominate the sport (even though they did until now).
contradictory to their desire for gold...
so will the IOC rethink their decision? i just feel bad for the ones who won't play by the time 2016 rolls around.

lol US also REALLY choked in those relays
pity, since i can relate...

LOL chris chase must be the worst blogger i have EVER read.
his updated "real medal count" is hilarious, check it out on yahoo.com
anyways, no matter how you recalculate and reinvent exactly how to score the olympics, it doesn't matter. the US is on top in totals and China in golds. this is what the US and China want, so just forget about it, okay?
we'll just see in 2012, that's equal footing.

the US is on top of the sports world simply bcus sports is very much involved in their culture.
so there, the US is number one, that's all chase wants to hear.
cheng fei cried for days after scoring bronze in something she dominated for years. her family could have truly benefitted financially if she had won gold...
lol sacramone can have it, i guess to america, a medal is a medal no matter the color.

before the olympics started, i didn't think that america and china could TRULY compete together simply bcus the two countries excel in different sports.
but i guess i was wrong

i would be so happy if he just wrote an article about how much he hated chinese people and how white people are going to rule the world.
i would much rather read his immature little rant about white supremacy and forget about it than his writing they call "journalism."
sadly, yahoo is something people read all over the world
i wish he would stop, international viewers must think americans have no class or culture...
who is he to decide which sports are legitimate anyways -_- i'd be so offended.

which reminds me that ping pong is pretty beastly O_O how do you think so fast -___-

siiigh
he doesn't even know how to lose :/
i suppose i should pity him bcus he just wants to make himself feel better and stir up controversy to make his blog popular.
but i really don't.

i went to tennis for a little bit today and played like CRAP i kinda want to not play BCUS FRANKIE AND IDA AREN'T WITH ME but i dunno, i guess i'll stick it out for a month and a half...
then i went back to saratoga and had lunch with my LINK advisor hahah MS. NACE
...
which was fun. my partner is curran, we were both in kowloon last week which is COOL cept we didn't run into each other once, HK is so tiny...
and we're both the same age except i'm a senior :D cool, right? that's how won hee introduced us lol "you guys have the same birthday!"

then we worked on yearbook and hung out and stuff
and went to JR :D yesss
and checked out luggage at ross (long story)

anyways. hope that rant was good enough for you brian :P
GOOD BYE CHILDREN
i'm excited for tomorrow, freshmen fun day :D

EDIT:
OMGADFSJOIJAODFJHOIASDJOFASIOFA
i am sooo exhausted and tired
bleghhgifk APSA D:<
DAIUJUFOASDURJOI SATs D:<

on the other hand, best comment by far about the whole sour grapes deal:
"Land of the free baby we can cry all we want :-P"
add in proper punctuation and that's the whole thing right thurr.

i'm not too excited about gym jam anymore, i think i might sleep this year
the only off time i'll have all week...

LADY-BIG BANG

MY FACE IS BURNED
and it hurts :(( i shouldn't be whining bcus i don't burned nearly as bad as other fair-skinned people
but aguhaoidklg
i never get burned so i guess i abused my skin :/

brian tells me he likes lighter skin on girls. that makes me feel better

anyways, tennis was SOO exhausting, every day is -___- absolutely noo energy
CECIL! lol and i walked to BK while bchu, sarah, and lauren drove there
we ordered the foods and sat down and ate, it was fun :) cept we still had conditioning after so BK was NOT a good idea...
lol when we were almost done, this old white man comes over and says
"who thinks that the chinese gymnasts are actually 16?"
very tricky question structure
but anyways, none of us raised our hands
and then i asked him
"do i look 16?"
and he didn't answer.
HAHA OLD DUDE, HAHA. ftl.
so yes. we shared our opinions and he said
"i'm glad girls like you can differentiate when it comes to age" or something like that which basically means
"i'm glad you think they're cheating."
i could feel it. lolz. anyways, me and BCHU were like LOLZZZ when he came over
he must have overheard us talking about the olympics. haha no matter how much the other girls think liukin and johnson's medals are unjust, they can't denyy how cute he kexin is :D AND the men's team, CHEN YIBINGGG hahaha SOO cute but
they're all shorter than me T_T booo

lol the nbc commentators need to STFU! i mean in general, not just about chinabashing
they're soo annoying! they talk so much -___-
lol i told my mom about this really offensive comment some woman made on the gymnastics competition and she told me that it's okay to say things like that in america
but i decided that it was in bad taste and no self-respecting adult would have said that.
very inappropriate :/
anyways, i think that western etiquette is very respectful and nice, the please and thank yous and the way they are taught to eat (i'm embarassing when i eat in public)
but i think that easterners are more educated in the basic
respect your elders and stuff
it's the simple things like always respect and listen to your parents, pour tea for the elders and wait for them to eat first
to some point, of course, i agree with the western viewpoint of "respect others when they deserver it." but that's dignity and i think that's one of the things everyone shares in common.
mebe it's just more apparent in asian culture
i thought it was sooo cute when he chong bowed to the audience, it was so sincere.
chinese people do it less in america than say the japanese or korean
but i still think it's a very important sign of respect
anyways brian, that's as far as the ranting goes, sorry to disappoint :)

anyways, we walked back and plotted ways of getting out of conditioning which was in the POOL but we had to do it anyways :( it was no fun and then my leg started cramping LOL
it was SOO painful, esther didn't have to save my life though.
anyways, after that....
i went to yearbook and i got to see my lovely editors
haoidjfg i'm scared for next year
OH and i bumped into ANA and i also met with simi of course but
FIRST TIME IN LIKE TWO.FIVE MONTHS that i've seen my best friends!! minus megan, it's been longer for her...
but ahoifik i was soo happy today

my face still hurts though :(

TOMORROW i get to meet my freshmen advisees!!! i'm sooo excited :D
i'm not jun's and i don't think i'm gerry's....
but the freshmen, they're adorable :))

we decided in europe that the inside of your elbow is called the wagina.
