Damsel in Distress.

I get amnesia when I'm standing next to you-ou-ou.

Vietnameses.

Waking up at 10. Going to the temple. Meeting this weird kid who keeps on saying "I'll kick your butt." Eating free food. Eastridge. Going back home. Helping mom with food. Wearing ao dai. Puking at such a sight, jk. Going to aunt's house. Taking tons of pictures. Trying to persuade Alvin&Audrey that firecrackers aren't scary nor illegal. Witnessing firecrackers going off for 3 whole minutes. So loud. Getting lixi's. Counting all the money. 375? Gambling. Lost 10 dollars. Gained back 10 dollars. Eating more food. Stomachache. Going home and look for my mom's treasure hunt. Found a grand under my bed...ECSTATIC! Putting in college fund.
Total net income: 1,375 dollars.
HAPPY HAPPY HAPPY NEW YEARS :D

To the left, to the left.

I'd like to think what I did is right, but what do I know? You'll tell me won't you? Or not...

Unproductivity.

I've been sooooooo unproductive these past few days. Really. Homework nowadays takes less than 1 hour. What do I do for the rest of the day? Absolutely nothing. ZOMG, guilts guilts guilts.
Well, at least I got some Sadies planning done and I got to practice my coloring skills by doing physio worksheet. AH, betcha forgot about that didn't ya?
I saw one of my Kumon kids at Costco today. "HI TEACHER", he said adorably. Totally made my day. How often do you get to be called teacher at Costco? I'm telling you, miracles do happen at Costco.
I want some yougurtland, oh brother get me some.
CARPE DIEM, betches.

Life Lesson #22

Letting go and climbing up to higher life levels, means building new emotional muscles. And just like with all muscle growth, you will always feel the pain before you see the growth.
We can do it. Be strong.
It just takes time, dammit.

Life Lesson #29

Working at Kumon has its perks. (Except for the minimum wage, the bright yellow uniform, obnoxious/impatient little kids and Michael.) Just kidding about the kids. Anyways, one day I overheard a grandma's outlook on life while she was waiting for her grandkids to complete their overloaded classwork. How adorable. She said (to another parent) "You worry, you die, you don't worry, you still die so why should you live your life worrying." Wow, why doesn't Kumon teach little kids this? It's better to know that than the damn quadratic formula. Ok, not if you have Mr. Rediallas and you're a calculus-bound student. Well folks, take grandma's advice. Don't worry, bee happy.

Lawlerskates.

Sometimes, all it takes is a little genuine push from the back and a gentle hand to hold onto. Thanks guys!
Iskate was super awesome. At first, I was not really excited for such event since I'm no Michelle Kwan but since all my friends are going, I just looked at it as a chance to hang out with the bests. I ended up loving it. I didn't think I could do it by myself but I did. I even helped Kathleen skate! zomg! ME? a noobie helping a... uh even noobier? NO WAY SAN JOSE! It was 9;29 I told her let's try to make one round in one minute. Of course, being a calculus wiz, she figured out the velocity and acceleration and I, thanks to Mr. Johnson's fantastic teachings, figured the probability of accomplishing such goal and together we totally made it in time :D. I didn't complete the dare that Christy gave me though :/ sorry sister! The usual crew was awesome. GIGI, YOU FAILED, EPICALLY. That five year old boy was definitely an unhappy camper when you kept on blocking his way. TSK TSK. Helen&Henry, as usual, surpassed all of us. PFT. Michelle was so worried that someone would steal her bag so she skated with it by her side. Haha. Eric&Kyle, oh so cute (: Overall, super good turn out.
We then went to Starbucks. When they asked for your name I was going to say Princess Leia but I chickened out :/ Gigi, on the otherhand told the guy that her name was Gigi Cullen but the guy spelled it as COLON HAHAHAH! Anyways, then we went back to my place, went to the pool, got locked out, went to the work out room, couldn't open the damn door, went to chill at the big room, got yelled at, took herra pictures, went back and everyone went home. HERRA FUN<333

Finalized.

Guess who's back, betches?
Done with finals, finally. Time to move onto other more worthy-of-doing things in life. Like making a blog to rant about my sortof-kindof-interesting high school/personal life.
On a different note, I am so ready for second semester even though it'll probably be exactly the same as first semester. But hey it's one step closer to leave the ridiculously-immature-and-overly-dramatic high school life behind, which by the way, I and many other people, did not sign up for when we went to the freshman orientation back in 'o5. Time to grow, folks.
