Hello Senior Year!

So Summer Vacation has finally drawn to a close. My last day of summer vacation was spent on hanging out with the Original 4 (5 if you include the one in heaven) at the LA River. =] It was touching, yet dirty if you know what I mean ;)

& Now school is here. Luckily for me, there was no summer reading assignments for AP English today. THANK GOD!! XD Anyways, for the 1st time in literally 5 years, I have a class with Dreidel :D F'shoo AP Stats for the one. I didn't even know she was gonna take an AP Class o_O So for now, this is my class schedule for those of you who care.

0 - Symphonic Winds

I have no idea what to expect in Symphonic Winds this year, other than waking up HELLA early to drive all the way to school. Although I do know that Yvonne has joined the Bass Clarinet section, so that is a win in itself. =] I need to hop on my Bass though hardcore, so I don't get hounded by Mr. Osman. And hurray for evening rehearsals -____-

1 - AP Stats

DREIDEL is gonna be the greatest distraction in the class I swear! xD Must not use cell phone in class AT ALL! Or face death in the name of Thiele!!!! Hopefully, this'll be the best math class ever, but we'll see.

2 - Marching Band

From the looks of Band Camp earlier, I can tell that this is gonna be one of, if not the best year of Marching Band that has happened at Poly! But tons of work needs to be done individually and collectively. The alto saxes needed to step up their game! Football this Friday till 12am at midnight so that'll be crazy! ROAD TRIP TO VENTURA BITCHES!

3 - Piano 3-4

Now this one I'm hella excited for! Most people say that this class is boring, but I view it as a way to increase my musicianship ten-fold. And for my buddies to finally accept the musician in me :]

4 - AP English Lit & Comp

Pigott has a strong British accent. Although he is pretty epic and chill. MY LIFE WAS SAVED TODAY IN THIS CLASS! So to make up for it, I'm gonna actually finish up Animal Dreams (without Sparknoting) and review the Kite Runner. Apparently it is unanimous among my class that the Kite Runner was epic. :D

5 - International Relations/AP US Gov't

"Education is Feminine" - Koury

In a strange way, that is true. Although I have a bad feeling that this is the class that I'm gonna be falling asleep in. Hell I almost fell asleep in this class today. o_O Crap I gotta get my act together here. To balance it out there, there are a number of diverse characters in this class.

6 - Film Analysis

Apparently Mrs. Wenger considers me the 'prodigy' or the 'guy that everyone wants to partner up with' in this class due to the fact that she thinks I'm a legit filmmaker. Although I sorta am ish, I kinda lost my touch with film at the moment. However, this is the only class where I have homework on the first day o_O My homework assignment is to describe a 'funnel shot' in a sitcom or movie or whatever. Although my fellow classmates doesn't seem to be the type that I'll get close to anytime soon (except for Kelvin, but thats only because he's in the drumline).

7 - Jazz B

Well. Damn My life. I've had this class for 3 years now. Apparently I was the only one that got left behind among my fellow seniors. However, this is an opportunity for me to shine thanks to the small number of people in this particular class. And Damon is in the class with me so EPIC SAUCE! I personally think that this is gonna be the class that makes or breaks my senior year and my high school years in general.

In addition to my 8 classes, I intend on doing International Ambassador, Jackrabbit Pageant, Senior Counselor, and all the other stuff that comes with being a senior. I also intend on continuing Buhay Media Productions (and actually getting crap done for once), meeting new people, possibly find love, composing new music, and finding myself in this huge world.

This year is gonna be amazing =]

"Once I'm done with this year, it's not gonna know what the fuck just happened to it." - Aristotle Afsheen Jalalianfard

College

So senior year is coming around the corner, and one of the hot topics of the year will be college plans and the future of our lives.

Man, looking at the class rankings of my SLC was a cruel reality check. Judging from that on a merit basis, I dont think I'm gonna even make it to a University anytime soon. Luckily, there is a window of opportunity in the form of a transfer program. Sure, these students on the top of the class who hardcore care about the college stuff and gpa, but thinking about it in the long run, these people are gonna face some hardcore financial hardships paying off the tuition. And those that are against the transfer program plan just have some hardcore pride and are really stubborn. Shoot. Life after college? Well I honestly have no idea what I'm doing.

Lets face it: I'm not exactly a prodigous musician, or have any extraoridinary artistic talent to go anywhere with it, I'm not in good merit-standing, and I honestly don't have the drive to try out for a University from the get-go. And even if I did, I messed up too much in my previous years to do anything about it. I swear to God, college is cruel to those with ideals without merit.

But then again, that's the cruel fact of life.

The student can have a 4.0 gpa, and work extra-hard in extra-curriculars, but that person can be the evilest son-of-a-bitch in the world, and still gets admitted to their 'dream college'. & once that happens, well say hello to anarchy. Like Bill Gates or something. Or even Armageddon.

Well, I guess I say that because I'm kinda bitter in the fact that I didn't get the AP Psych class in my schedule. Among all classes, I really wanted to take that class with a passion, and yet, my counselor sells out the class to those with "high GPAs". AND HELL, HALF OF THOSE GODDAMN PEOPLE DON'T EVEN CARE WHETHER THEY GET THE CLASS OR NOT. As a fictional charcter puts it,

"Even though I have a high score to get into the class, I'd just be taking the place of somebody that would really want to be there, versus me that just applied just to apply."

Damn, I just got myself infuriated. FAIL x[

Live

Live Music makes me realize why I love music to begin with =]

Another Band Camp Story

Mr Evill Jr (9:43:23 PM): so this one time at band camp

Mr Evill Jr (9:43:47 PM): my teacher was talking about moments in life when you want something to happen

Mr Evill Jr (9:44:10 PM): or rather, things in life that you must do

Mr Evill Jr (9:44:29 PM): don't wait till you feel like doing it

Mr Evill Jr (9:44:38 PM): that leads to something that we all know as procrastination

Mr Evill Jr (9:45:01 PM): if anything, take the lead and gain CLOSURE for your soul !

joanhaaalili (9:45:22 PM): (:

joanhaaalili (9:45:23 PM): aw

joanhaaalili (9:45:29 PM): that was cute

Even though there is no profession to be gained from Marching Band (aside from musicianship and becoming a teacher), being involved with band has taught me so many life lessons to be utilized in life. It has been 4 years since I entered the walls of Hughes Middle School. At first, I didn't know what I have gotten myself into. After all, I was only in Marching Band to avoid taking regular PE (in which, in a way, that has succeeded. I have never taken regular PE in high school.) But everything that I have gained through 'band camp', and my musical life in general has made me a better person than I was before, although to my closest friends, that is hard to believe. So many philosophies learned; so many disciplines gained; so much music played; so much sweat poured, but in the end, it is all worth it on the path of becoming a better human being.

Thank you band camp =] And being section leader now doesn't hurt either.

Greatest Sin

"Now, no matter what the mullah teaches, there is only one sin, only one. And that is theft. Every other sin is a variation of theft... When you kill a man, you steal a life, you steal his wife's right to a husband, rob his children of a father. When you tell a lie, you steal someone's right to the truth. When you cheat, you steal the right to fairness. Do you see? There is no act more wretched than stealing, Amir. Aman who takes what's not his to take, be it a life or a loaf of naan...I spit on such a man. And if I ever cross paths with him, God help him. Do you understand?"
-Baba from The Kite Runner pgs 17-18

Well, so far I'm loving the Kite Runner. It is actually a pretty damn good book =] So today I went out to work out with my band friends (more like my sax section) and got them to do some marching basics. And surprisingly, Mr. Stevens came by to visit. o__O After that, I went to Monico's place to scare the crap outta him and then go get Joan at Chini's place after, then go get Arie back at Monico's house. maan. Then we ended up eating at a Crepes place, which by the way was bomb, yet pricey. I had Franchi- i mean Fetuccini Alfredo, Strawberry raped crepe, and a little bit of Spaghetti. And our waiter was hella chill. Later we went to PAC Camp and just did random things form there.

I feel like that she is robbed of opportunities, or rather, experiences.

Remains from the Heart

So I was looking at Paul's myspace earlier, looking back on his words, and for some reason, I feel like that one of the very things that he behind was words for someone that believes that she isn't loved, but is oblivious to those close to her.

What I Like About You by Paul Michael A. Alindog

I love you for the person you are
and for who I have become since
we've me.

I love you for overlooking my flaws

the good things in me.

I love you for believing in me in a
way that makes me believe too.

I love you because of the way we can
talk together and with the openness
comes closeness.

I love you because you have brought
more happiness into my life than I ever

I lve you because you are honest with
me and with that honesty comes trust.

I love you for the good and giving

Misery Business

Youtube crushes for the fail anyone?? xD



Musicality points raised to the MAX!!

So I haven't blogged in awhile. I don't know why, I just lost the feeling for a bit. In a strange way, I made up for my lack of blogging through talking to myself in the shower 0_O yeaahh.. I don't think thats healthy for the soul xD

As Joan puts it, "Oh my soul!" ;]

Speaking of which, so this week has been filled with non-stop missions left & right, picking up people, raiding other people's houses and what not. Downtown adventures for the win =] However, beach trips for the fail. So we have officially came across our first bitter ending with some buddies that we met from Oklahoma. The day started crazy, and ended with the girls LEAVING US TO PAY THE BILL *insert angry face* well that was an epic fail. Although during that same day, we (the boys) got meet up with Lolo, Rica and surprisingly Franchini over at Frogurts =] I consumed one of the hardest 'ice' creams ever and basically downed Lolo's tea. Woohoo.


Maann, I can't get my blogging thoughts straight. I guess that this is why I kinda strayed away from blogging for the past week. I need to get things straight with my life and the people in my life that I care about.

Speaking of which, I have a very strong feeling that I need to talk to somebody and finally bring peace not only to myself, but hopefully the other.


However, the problem is whether I have the balls to talk to this person again or not. For some reason, I feel fear for the first time in awhile.

The Paradox of Our Age

Taken from Ramon's myspace. Holy shit.

all I can say that this is EPIC!

We have taller buildings, but shorter tempers; 
   wider freeways, but narrower viewpoints; 
   we spend more, but have less; 
   we buy more, but enjoy it less.  
We have bigger houses and smaller families; 
   more conveniences, but less time; 
   we have more degrees, but less common sense; 
   more knowledge, but less judgment; 
   more experts, but more problems; 
   more more medicine, but less wellness.  
We spend too recklessly, 
   laugh too little, 
   drive too fast, 
   get too angry too quickly, 
   stay up too late, 
   get up too tired, 
   read too seldom, 
   watch TV too much, 
   and pray too seldom.
We have multiplied our possessions, but reduced our values.
We talk too much, love too seldom and lie too often.
We've learned how to make a living, but not a life; 
   we've added years to life, not life to years.  
We've been all the way to the moon and back, 
   but have trouble crossing the street to meet the new neighbor.
We've conquered outer space, but not inner space; 
   we've done larger things, but not better things; 
   we've cleaned up the air, but polluted the soul; 
   we've split the atom, but not our prejudice; 
   we write more, but learn less; 
   plan more, but accomplish less.
We've learned to rush, but not to wait; 
   we have higher incomes, but lower morals; 
   more food but less appeasement; 
   more acquaintances, but fewer friends; 
   more effort but less success.  
We build more computers to hold more information, 
   to produce more copies than ever, but have less communication; 
   we've become long on quantity, but short on quality.
These are the times of fast foods and slow digestion; 
   tall men and short character; 
   steep profits and shallow relationships.  
These are the times of world peace, but domestic warfare; 
   more leisure and less fun; 
   more kinds of food, but less nutrition.  
These are days of two incomes, but more divorce;
   of fancier houses, but broken homes.  
These are days of quick trips, disposable diapers, throwaway morality, one-night
   stands, and pills that do everything from cheer, to quiet, to kill.
It is a time when there is much in the show window, 
   and nothing in the stockroom.

Diamond in the Rough

So I spent the weekend of August 7-9th at Diamond Bar with CJ, Gary, Chini, Lorlene, Rica, Joan, and Ramon =] And boy things went DOOWWN xD Well as of right now, I'm hella restless and can't seem to get myself asleep while Ramon stays awake as well (probably due to my 'high' nature as of now). I know I'm gonna hella regret not falling asleep. x[

This post will be editted later as soon as I get my thoughts straight.

-Edit-

My thoughts are basically similar this guy's.

It all begins with over 140 miles of straight up driving...

Venting Punching Bag

Well I gotta admit; Wednesday August 5th, 2009 marks the first day where I actually wasted gas going back & forth to Long Beach. All I pretty much did was watch Teen Titans and knock out. Epic fail of planning much? Although having dinner with the family after church was nice =]

So hopefully today won't be a fail again like yesterday. Got some filming plans and gotta get my mom's money.

So for the past MONTH, I have become what I dub as everybody's Venting Punching Bag (or VPB for short). On one side of the coin, its nice to know that people trust me with their feelings, but on the other hand, I wouldn't know what to say or do to comfort the person. I'll be honest, I don't have the counseling skills like Daniel to make a person go from insecure to happy. As a matter of fact, I would consider myself the last person to go to for consoling. But then thats just feeling pessimistic. Well I guess I'm not doing any better considering the fact that my personal VPB is my closest friends and blogging. xD Epic Fail right? Anyways, recently I've been getting closer to people who I would of NEVER thought I'd get closer to in this lifetime. Its pretty cool =] And I've just used up my minutes on what I would normally use up in a YEAR in just the span of a week (you know who you are!!). Well, all I gotta say is "HELLO HIGH CELL PHONE BILLS" XD

Well, in other news, I'm gonna be heading out to Diamond Bar soon (if its even really a city), for a late b-day party ;] This is going to be one hella of a weekend. Heart 2 Hearts much?

A House is NOT a Home

Its the family that is there for you that makes a house truly a home :D

Sunday:

Anyways, so from Sunday till Tuesday, I freaking did not go home. On Sunday, it was Franchini's birthday, so my day started with her calling me to wake up. G'dammit I wanted more sleep, but meh. After FINALLY refilling up my gas of tank, I went off to do some chores and eventually go to church. After, I went to Buena Park to get CJ from Lyle's place, then went to CJ's place for him to take a shower, and then we finally met up with Chini, Joan, and Ramon. After some quick chat, we spontaneously decided to go driving around, with me being the taxi driver T____T

So after a fail trip at Signal Hill, we then went to In-n-Out on PCH, where we met up with the guys that me & CJ spontaneously met at Town Center a while back. So while everyone else was doing their own thing, I bought them fries. After that, I took everybody back to their respective homes (even Ramon's, which was a surprise in itself), and met Chini's mom & dad. =] I swear freaking CJ is a hardcore MILF-er. xD

So after all that, we met up with Arie & Gary at CJ's house, only to find out that Gary was leaving right on the spot, so Arie decided to sleepover with us for the night. We wasted our lives on Brawl and youtube videos into the late night...

Monday:

Come next day, I wake up to the fact that I GOT A FREAKING PARKING TICKET FOR STREET SWEEPING :( Sucks so bad. Anyways, Joshua (CJ's lil bro) comes in, so we had to babysit him along with CJ until 5pm. We wasted our lives on brawl and Portal just to pass the time. By the time CJ's mom got back, me & CJ went out to go grocery shopping :) While we were shopping, freaking people kept on texting me like crazy, so I couldn't look for the proper cabbage to pick up. Anyways, after some trouble with the cash register, we went home to a pissed off mother and eventually son (CJ), so what ended up happening is while CJ & I drove off to get CJ's haircut, we accidentally left Arie behind with the angry mother and spoiled baby. A Fail Haircut and a Pinky Promise later, we finally went back to the apartment, where I talked to this one person on the phone while CJ was off doing his own thing. Somehow, we spontaneously decided to sleepover at Gary's place. We packed our stuff, and snuck out into the night to Carson.

Arriving there, Gary was hungry and wanted us to go out into the night again to go buy some food. So at 12 am, we went out to a freaking Jack in the Box and got some curly fries and what not to satiate our fatasses :D Arriving back, I watched the Prestige on Gary's PS3, then knocked out while CJ was attempting to learn how to drive Stick-shift.

Tuesday:

Waking up to Courage the Cowardly Dog on screen, I immediately got up to call up Monico to see if we were gonna follow through on the Tuesday plan. After some Supreme Court of Comedy and showering, me, CJ & Gary were off to get Daniel & Monico. Getting Daniel was easy; getting Monico was hard. Y'see, when we went to Monico's place, the first thing that he wanted to do was get a hair cut, and that immediately put a dent into everybody's agendas. Although, seeing Monico again after 2 WEEKS was a nice little reunion :) So while Monico was getting his hair cut, Daniel decides that he wants go to Cal Rec real quick, so he and I busted a mission there, and turns out that he didn't see anyone worth talking to there, so we headed back to the hair cut to get the rest of the gang, and then went back to Monico's again. Daniel decided to stay in the car while me, CJ and Gary went to Monico's house to go get him out ASAP.

Airconditioning is a God-Sent object :)

Several money issues later, we all FINALLY head out to Hooters ;] Daniel & I got some endless wings, while the rest of them got 5pcs to 10 pcs of wings. Freaking the ladies accidentally gave me some 3mile hot wings, so eating the wings suddenly became a chore to me. We then busted out to CJ's place again, where we met up with Rochelle and what not, and decided to head out to Huntington Beach...

Gary intended to ask out Rochelle at the beach, so we left those 2 alone, and Daniel, Monico, & CJ & I decided to split up to do our own things for some odd reasons. While Cj & I were looking for the people we were supposed to meet up with, we somehow come across these 2 girls that ewre laughing at us and gave CJ a compliment about his uke playing. We were weirded out at first, but then we decided to move on. Met up with Arie & Denise later, where Denise pulled off a WHOLE STACK OF PAPERS, showing them to CJ one by one. I thought that Denise was gonna ask him out, but it turns out that she used up a WHOLE bunch of papers just for a DAMN HUG! o_O So she got that, and then me, CJ & Arie ended up following Denise into the pier nearby, going into some kinky shops along the way. Denise somehow ended up PUNCHING ME IN THE DAMN FACE & CHEST, and yeaah.

After that, I officially dubbed Denise as the "demon child".

Moving on, after getting back to the pit, Monico and Daniel soon followed, while the 3 of us plus Denise went to the ocean. For some odd reason, she posed an out-of-character question and said...

"Does heaven exist?"

Arie & I gave her contradictory answers due to our different points of view, but then she ended up saying "same", so I have no idea who she was agreeing with xD So just to sum it all up, the bonfire thing was meh, except for the fact that Rochelle and Gary are official "B-fran" and "G-fran"(chini) xD Thats their own little lingo that I will comprehend in a thousand years T_T Along the way back to my car, me & Daniel somehow come across the SAME 2 GIRLS me & CJ came across EARLIER, and one thing led to another, and eventually somehow me & CJ (he soon joined us) got their numbers & contacts. Btw, these girls were from Oklahoma, so I have strong doubts that we are ever gonna see them again, but who knows? So me and Daniel had some jealously issues over the houses as we walked back to my car, which was freaking so far away from the beach. :(

We got back, picked up the rest of the slow people, and CJ & Monico bugged me about cutting my hair the ENTIRE ride! Somehow by some cruel twist of fate, even FRANCHINI got involved in this T__T What the hell!? I'm still not cutting my hair to a Line-Up anytime soon guys. So I dropped off those 2 bastards at Town Center, then took Daniel home, where I got dicked by Daniel by the U-Haul truck that was infront of his house. The rest of the way home, I just listened to some 103.5 love songs on the coast again...

Back at home, I realized my aim got hacked, so I finally changed my password, and logged on :) I think chini is a liar, but anyways, I had some interesting talk with Joan, but I think I didn't help out her situation. Thats what I get for trying to play preacher :( So as of now, I'm just copacetic that I'm home for once, & really fatigued from driving around for the past 3 days.

& I gotta do some more driving this week too x____X

The Drunken Generation

So basically my day parallels with this guy's.

First, I asked my grandma where the ironing board was. She asked me why I needed, considering the fact that I don't usually do laundry, and then I showed her a purple top. She immediately said "Oh its for you girlfriend! Okay, wait till Tita Ebie is done with...the patients." I then told Nanay [thats what I call my grandma] that I don't have a girlfriend T___T. Then she calls me a liar x__X Anyways, it wasn't malicious or anything. Just pretty humorus coming from her. Thats why I like her more :D

I get to CJ's house only to find a knocked out Gary, chinese food and CJ & his mom talking about money. They officially want a studio. Then Daniel comes along and then Dan & Gary head to Regency while me & CJ headed to Wal-Mart to look for a Firewire cable. Unfortunately that was a fail, so we met up with Gary & Daniel at Regency, and I got free games of Maximum Tune (which I suck horribly at by the way). AND NO; I WILL NOT GET A CARD AND BE SUCKED IN TO THE MAXIMUM TUNE WORLD!!! xD So then we went to Pino's after (I swear I think thats gonna be our new HQ now), with Daniel & CJ scarfing on the wings while I struggled into finding words to put onto this birthday card. After, we went back to CJ's place to pick up some things, and then headed to Dion's place to party...

And then this is when stuff happens.

So the first thing we come across is Dreidel on the street. I was tempted to run her over, but she ran outta the way, so I couldn't hit her. Danggit. Anyways, after finding some fail parking, we went inside to find a few people and have some small talk. After 5 minutes, CJ & I left for a bit to go to Radio Shack to find some Firewire cables again. This time, we found them, but it costed 27 dollars, and plus it was a weak-sauce cable, so we didn't get it.

Then we head back, and the number of people that was there increased to 10 average. There was someone actually pretty cute among them =] As more people were coming in, it started to become a middle school reunion of sorts. All these characters from Hudson started flowing in left and right. It was cool, especially a drunk Bernardo (which I'll get back to later). So a man named John Kevin enters the scene, and all of a sudden asks me if I can pick up Joan, Rica, and Joan's sister [sorry I forgot her name]. And so I caved in. JK & I had some small talk going, and then the girls showed up. They gave me a strange look at first, but eventually they figured out who I was. x] When I got back once again, even MORE people were there. I swear this thing that started out as a kickback became a party REALLY fast. From dancing to food to old friends back in the day. It was all pretty cool. Until the alcohol came in. Man, that was a killer for me, so basically I had to deal with drunk people left and right, and eventually CJ & Gary later that night. Although I gotta admit, seeing some people drunk is actually pretty hilarious like Bernardo; he asked me for a piggy back ride, in which I gave him one albeit struggling.

So here I am, hopping from people to people, trying to talk to those still sober enough to keep a good conversation going, and this is where I meet Ashley Nguyen =] I'm surprised that even though she had her own personal bottle of liquor, she was still sober enough to engage conversation with. So yeah chit chat chit chat blah blah blah until Joan & Co. ask me to give them a ride back. I was iffy at first, considering the gas in my tank, but when Joan pulled my keys toward her, well lets just say I couldn't deny the request (and plus she was buzzed so I didn't want her to get into any more trouble than it needed to be). So I dropped them off back, got 3 bucks for gas, and headed back once more. The first thing that I come across is drunk people on the floor. It was a really depressing sight to see, especially in the dark. So I had to ask Roben to open the gate for me since the people next to it couldn't move their bodies to do so. Surprisingly, Ashley actually waited, but then Daniel, CJ & Gary agreed to bounce the place. Gary & Daniel headed to the car, while I wanted to say my farewells to people, and get contact info from some of the new people I met like Ashley and what not. Eventually, the four of us made it to the car, but CJ & Gary were hella buzzed/drunk...

I decided to drop off Gary home first since he was actually the closest to where the party was. Driving along the freeway, Gary & CJ were doing some of the funniest/dumbest things imaginable, while Daniel & I looked at each other and laughed xD Well, until I missed Gary's original freeway exit and had to take directions from a drunk guy.

Drunk backseat driving for the fail?

Anyways, the random drunkeness continued, until CJ yelled 'Beaner" out the car. Thats when Daniel expoded and told them the shut up. So eventually Gary & CJ were dropped off at Gary's place, and I got some more gas money to survive. While I was on my way to drop Daniel off, we had a long talk about our corrupted generation. I love it when Daniel and I have these type of conversations; it lets Daniel bust out his "mexican skills", and I get to learn some new things and its just plain good for the ears =] So now me & Daniel have another reason to like each other more: we will be the sober ones at a party involving alcohol.

Eventually, I dropped him off, and started to listen to some 103.5 love songs on the coast on the way back. I don't know why, but lately I've been listening to that station a lot. I finally get home and call Chini, where I get 'cockblocked' by Monico along the way. xD G'dammit! So I waited till 11:58 to call her back and tell her happy birthday =] Btw, happy belated birthday Dion and happy cake day to Franchini xD

Now that I think about it, I think using the words 'honey' and such was probably not a good idea xD

Anyways, I just got a random text message from Ashley, so as Daniel always ends his blogs...

"Till next time..."

Bittersweet

Part 1: My Typical Day

Thursday July 30th: Dicked Arie into thinking that I drove all the way to Vegas. Man that was hilariousx ] So anyways, Arie and I basically chilled at CJ's place the whole time wasting our lives on Brawl, Pino's Pizza, and Regency games. After tasting CJ's bitterness in terms of brawl, I hear my phone ring in fear that the person calling was my mom telling me to go home. However, it turns out that the person calling me was none other than Franchini o__O Haha. While I was talking to her on the phone, I epically went into the swimming pool without getting the phone wet ;)

Somehow, I got dragged into sleeping at CJ's later [also I didn't feel like driving home], so CJ & I took the opportunity to learn how to play Piano some. :] So comes 2am, Ann and AJ come in an dbust in into the apartments and stuff. FREAKING CRAZY. In the end, Ann & CJ reconnected [on the floor under the sheets] and AJ and I ate some chicken wings that he found in the freezer. Then MOAR BRAWL. We officially wasted our lives that night.

So comes the next day, and the first thing that happens is a youtube video of 'Dora the Explorer' - Catholic style o___O Very random... So I epically failed in waking up CJ, forgetting that I was 'supposed' to take him to Kathleen's place in Cerritos. After that, I went back to Poly for some band stuff :]

Sectionals - Man...my 1st sax sectional as a section leader = fail. xD So the marching band's goal that day was to be able to play and march at the same time, but unfortunately, we were the only section that didn't get music, so what I had the saxes do was do marching basics. And even so I epically failed x] The drum majors had to cover for me x[

So by the end of the day, I spontaneously thought of organizing a workout day for the saxes before band camp. Cause being in band camp in 3 years without prepping first is HELL. So I want to be prepared for the freaking burnage x]

Anyways, I got some chinese food for CJ to eat at his place and went to CVS to get a birthday card for someone. When I went back to his place, I decided to take some singing lessons :] It was surprisingly interesting. But unfortunately I still suck at singing. So the rest of the day was spent getting owned in Brawl by CJ, and phone calls from Chini.

Part 2 The Deep Stuff:

I have realized that some friendships can only last so long. While some are durable as rocks, but are rough on the outside, there are those friendships that look beautiful like glass, but yet so fragile at the same time. As for the friendships I developed, I pray to believe that the close friends I have now will be the ones that I stick with for a life time =] They are THAT worth it. We may not be perfect, but we are able to overcome many obstacles that come our way. Hell we even went through death together.

However, if these friendships are meant to be, I guess that they gotta taste the 'bitter' before getting to the 'sweet'.

Hypothetically, what would you do if you were back stabbed by your 'best friend'? Leave a comment down below on this one.

Caged Birds

The most honest quote I've ever came across :]

"I ain't such a saint that I can promise to risk my life for strangers. Neither am I scum to sit quietly while people are getting hurt before my eyes!" - Chris Brown [Not the superstar mind you!]

So anyways, I got to hang out with Christian, Arie & Dreidel on Wednesday =) I started off by going to Christian's apartment for awhile and jam on his piano :] After meeting his parents and whatnot, we went to fetch Dreidel, which took forever and a HALF cause she is SLOW! x_x Then we met up with Arie at the BBQ place across from Forest Lawn. It was pretty good and putting jello on the grill was one of the most entertaining things to see. Then we talked about melting as a form of death. (Btw if you guys are reading this, you guys are sickening x] ) Anyways, after that, we went to Forest Lawn and visited Paul. :D There were so many flowers and pinwheels on his spot, so it wasn't hard to find him this time around. After some reminiscing of the past, and talking about the future and life, we said our goodbyes to Paul for now, but Arie stayed behind for a bit while Christian, Dreidel and I (I just realized that makes CDE) went to the mausoleums. I bet Arie had some good alone time with Paul :] Exploring Forest Lawn can be deceptively fun, yet enriching. It makes us appreciate life a bit more, along with some whistling of Zelda tunes.

We shall bust a Zelda one day sir ;)

After the craziness at the cemetary, we all went to Ben & Jerrys at Town Center to get some ice cream and smoothies. Freaking Arie and his dolphin senses tingled as we witnessed this one girl working over there. His reaction = priceless. While we were there, Jacob and Miranda stopped by and we had some small talk. Jake and his kidney stones; I hope he gets better =) Band camp this year with him & Miranda is gonna be HELLA interesting xD So after Jake, Miranda and the cute worker girl left B&J, we decided to leave too and pick up quarters from the fountain near by and skip pebbles x] Unfortunately, I had to bust away home due to the fact that I had to go to church later so I had to leave the people behind. :(

After knocking out at church, I went back home and the first thing that happened was that MY GRANDMA CAME BACK FROM THE PHILIPPINES! ;D She is freaking amazing and still young x] I missed her so much. Although she did kinda steal my sleeping spot, so now I have to sleep in the office while she is here. And I have no blanket out here. Depressing :(

So after catching up with the family, I talked to people on aim such as Franchini, Arie, CJ, Damon*, Christian, Shelby etc. etc. Damon is in some deep shit right now & needs all the help he can get x[

Mr Evill Jr (12:38:29 AM): but do you still read other's blogs?

F ranchini M ae (12:38:38 AM): yes, yours.

Mr Evill Jr (12:38:50 AM): o___O haha woow

Mr Evill Jr (12:38:57 AM): i have a low-key follower x]

F ranchini M ae (12:39:01 AM): ur the only one that updates

I think that was a low-key message from God saying that I need to stray away from blogging a bit more often. xD But its fun though. But then again, who knows who can be reading this stuff. o__O It might be a CREEPER!! XD

Anyways, so I kinda want to release the birds from their cages. But seeing both of their circumstances, that is easier said than done. One of the cages has a blatant sign that says "No EJ's allowed" on its door, so this cage is gonna be A LOT harder to break. The other cage is a mystery, so I don't know what to expect.

Other than that, I'm supposed to be filmming with CJ when he gets back from Vegas and watching "Awkward Balloon" too. That'll be cool! :D And maybe I'll go to Franchini's house beforehand :D Speaking of which, I'm now motivated to get her into Avatar xD But thats iffy.

In 12minutes from this posting its about to be 2:22 so I'll update later.

My First Best Friend

Paul Michael Alindog =)

I hardcore miss the dude. Rest in Paradise buddy.

When he was younger =]

Just a small sample of the number of lives he has impacted. (This one was for him)

So as I am typing this blog, the memories I shared with him for the past 8-9 years that I've known him suddenly floods my head. From the times where we would play video games, make music, sleep with each other, talk about girls, comfort each other, hang out, re-watching RENT a million times over, have heart to hearts, encourage each other to be our best, singing the songs from RENT like idiots, listening to Stevie Wonder music, making every living moment our last (in which he has succeeded) etc. etc. There are countless more things to say, but at this moment I can't even think straight. Man there were moments where I tearfully regret not taking the opportunities to go see him to the best of my ability, but even with that, he still had the heart to forgive a selfish bastard like me. The top 2 proverbs I can associate with him are [one of which I heard at his memorial]

"Living life is not about the number of breaths we take, but the moments that take our breath away"

"Life is not about how we survive the storm, but its how we dance in the rain"

So I guess the reason why I just did this thing now is because ever since he passed away, there hasn't been a day that has gone by that I have NOT thought about him. He is the type of person you wouldn't want to forget in the first place ;] I just wanna say, I love you man. Simply said.

Most likely, you're probably jamming with Michael Jackson right now. You two would make some amazing music. :D

The Dangers of Blogging and Exploding Flowers

So blogging for the most part is pretty cool considering that you can vent out your feelings and maintain your memories on mortal server, with the whole world to see. But the fact that its not a private diary can also be a downfall. x]

It basically screwed CJ over x[

Sunday:

So to make up for it, CJ asked me to go drive him around Cerritos at night, to drop something off at his girlfriend's house. So we went to her neighborhood, and CJ wanted to get a flower to add to the letter. We walked a bit so there wouldn't be anyone watching us pick a flower from their garden. When the opportunity came, CJ busted out his keys as a cutter of sorts and hacked away at one of the flowers he wanted to pick out. However, when he hit the stem, the flower suddenly exploded.

yes. it really exploded.

There was awkward silence for 3 seconds... then we busted out laughing. The horrid irony and symbolism of this cruel act from God. The gravity of the situation we were in made it all the more funny xD so Cj went for his 2nd shot at another flower, and FINALLY got the flower without making it explode, but then suddenly a dog comes out from this tall wall and begins barking the hell outta us. We dashed, then we waited. Cj dropped off the flower and letter and then we busted to Daniel's house where Dan & Rochelle await us. On the way, I wanted to get some ice cream, so I made a left at this random street to go to the Baskin Robbins near by. Turns out that the way into the parking lot was for PEDESTRIANS ONLY! FML! So I made a complete circle around the complex and FINALLY made it to Baskin Robbins, dodging Fire trucks, ambulances, and police cars along the way only to find out that it was closed.

:(

So we eventually ended up at Daniel's house. I was somehow compelled into sleeping over there, with Rochelle being high off her 5lbs breasts. x] We brawled for awhile, Daniel & CJ ganged up on me for the ultimate juju. I saw death :( Then Daniel used his Mexican skills to comfort Kirstie, while CJ got his freaking revenge from me beating the crap outta him in brawl ;)

Then those niggas left for Vegas the next morning, while I stayed in Daniel's house till 2pm with his Grandma. After countless efforts of looking for people to hangout with, I sorta gave up and drove home.

Although on my way home, I was on the phone with Franchini for a bit, and while I was talking to her while driving [I know, thats bad], I suddenly missed the 22 freeway towards home. FML!

So in addition to getting lost a bit, it basically added 10 minutes and more gas to get home. God dammit chini x]

Once Upon a Time...

So while I was in the shower, I had epiphanies for two types of stories to be used in a film and/or novel.

One story is based on just an ordinary guy, living his ordinary life, until one of the people in his town has become the "chosen one". Then typical chosen one story ensues. This is not about the 'chosen one' or hero, but rather the guy on the side that is unfortunately tied into the hero's story.

Example: Harry Potter is the chosen one. I want to make a story/movie about Neville Longbottom =]

Another story I have in mind is a bit more on the romantic/teenage side of things x]

Starting pitch - Raphael, the main character of the drama, lives a pretty good life. He has really good friends, his family is intact, and overall he is a nice, average guy. Although that doesn't stop him from crushing on this one girl named May. So being the nice guy that he is, he aspires to make new friends when the opportunity comes, but when he comes across a girl named April, his life goes through a drastic curve. You see, April is a pretty cute shy girl, with a select number of friends [all of which are girls], and when she walks to class, she usually does it alone. One day, Raphael accidentally bumps into her before the next class period. He hastily apologizes to April, introduces himself, and begins a quick conversation. Knowing that April does not have a friend that is a boy, Raphael asks if he can be her first guy friend. She hesitantly agrees, but this common act of kindness twists into what she believes is her first love.

Ehh.. still in the planning stages, but I have no idea if this will follow through. If it does, I need to add dialogue first and foremost xD

"The more I talk to you, the more I realize I don't want you (:"

Meanwhile, I ponder the names of my potential future daughters. Bonquisha anybody?

Dress Shopping

So it has been decided that we're gonna use our prize money from the Japanese Karaoke contest on buying dresses. O_____o Maybe food if we're lucky xD

Well at least I can get a head start on that birthday gift =] Although helping my friend out for her "date" is gonna be something interesting ;)

& hopefully later we'll meet up with the Cerritos kids at BJ's [assuming that it is still happening]

But first, GAS!

OH HELL NO!

One of my dear beloved childhood movies has turned into horror!!

In the Wee Small Hours...

What a way to start the day. =)

Went to church at 5am xD And I surprisingly didn't fall asleep.

Anyways, yesterday was interesting. Picked up Damon, Chey, Ilenh, and Brenda, then met up with CJ & Daniel with Kristine and Ben, then Monico and Fronz met up with us. Tis a small world x] In terms of productivity, we didn't really do much except swim and waste gas x[

Today will hopefully be a better day.

Master & Apprentice

Well.

When I first began high school, wait, when I began BAND CAMP, I was an annoying, complaining n00b on the Tenor Saxophone. I remember I wanted to play clarinet or alto sax for Marching band because those were the instruments I was familiar with, but Mr. Stevens forced me to play tenor due to the lack of Tenor sax players at the time.

I gotta say, that was the best forced-decision making ever to happen in my music life :)

Now fast-forward to the present. I'm officially a senior now, which means I'm supposed to be considered NOT an apprentice, but a master and someone to look up to now. Although I still have TONS to learn. So I'm the official section leader of the saxes in Marching Band, and I guess you can say that I'm not ready yet x] However, its funny that one of the new freshman coming into the sax section is a reminder of me. He came from Hudson (same school I came from), is playing Tenor from Alto (same as myself), filipino (bonus points), and going through the same struggles on Tenor. I LAY CLAIM AS THIS GUY IS OFFICIALLY MY FAVORITE FRESHMAN!

Its funny how the world now comes full circle :)

So right now, I gotta call up Greg and set-up the session :] Btw, if you're a sax player going to Poly High School, consider going to this sectional! It'll be good :D

EJ & the Temple of the Omniscient Monks...

Well...

My day started off with waking up at Monico's house, playing the saxophone in there [Over the Rainbow and Beautiful as You] (Beautiful as You is an insider ;) ) but anyways, so me & CJ got some KOREAN BBQ. Woo. But we didn't eat as much as we usually do. However it was nice that Rochelle was feeding me x] haha sorry Gary ;) After that, I was pretty much messing with Rochelle & Co. via on the road blockage :D

Anyways, I went home, knocked out, and decided to go biking out. I first stopped by the high school I was supposed to go to if I hadn't got my inter-district transfer to Long Beach Poly. And man, that school has depressing written all over it. Hell they even dedicated their sign thingy to the graduates that got accepted to UC's and CSU's (which were 99% asian). In a mexican school xD

So I randomly decided that on my way back home, I would go to this temple. It has always intrigued me everytime I drive by it, but biking to it was a different experience. First of all, entering the grounds beyond the gate brought a chill down my spine for some odd reason. It felt like that I was invading holy ground [which in turn I was]. After marveling on how wonderful it looks inside through the windows, I eventually came across a random door. Being stupid, I nudged the door knob a bit, and it so happens that the door actually opens o__O

So I enter this temple, with my slippers slapping the white pearl floor, and the first thing I see is some eye looking at me. Anyways, I took my time, marveling at the pillars, decorated with colorful dragons, and how the room was perfectly symmetrical. There were pillows on the floor, and I'm guessing thats where people bow and pray. Looking at the ceiling, it felt as if I was looking into the sky (well maybe because the ceiling was painted with sky colors). Being of Christian faith, going into this type of temple brought some sort of fear into my soul, and my cholesterol-filled heart still recovering from the Korean BBQ. Walking through the temple, I felt like that I wasn't the only one in there, but I continued to explore regardless. All of those statues and the smell of incense really didn't help my fear levels go down. As a matter of fact, it rose when I suddenly came across this HUGE statue in the dead center. It sorta felt like the dieties are punishing me or something. Turns out, there was really somebody else in the temple. As soon as I heard other footsteps other than my own, I immediately dashed outta there like no tomorrow, and hopped on my bike which was conviently parked outside and not jacked. So I went around the temple, and surprisingly, there was a normal house that stood there. Being stupidly curious, I peeked through the window, and I witnessed a TV that was on. Turns out that I saw myself on that TV screen, and I freaking got outta the temple grounds ASAP and dashed home from there.

Its interesting what bike rides can give you. Especially when its a soul searching one o__O

Well now that I'm back from some Indiana Jones crap, I'm organizing a sax sectional with Greg to happen on Thursday. The little freshman needs to get on top of the music & marching :]

Syntax Error

I feel as if I was a cause of some huge catastrophe.

So I actually attended church today, and boy the service was long. After that, I met up with Brent and old family friends and ate with them at Sam Woo. Strangely I haven't been eating as much as I usually do. Brent's little brother reminded me of somebody strangely x] Maybe because she is good with kids, but she denies it xP On our way home, my sister accidentally ran over a puppy :( Thus started the domino of screw ups.

I was on my way to Long Beach to sleep over at Monico's house, and right off the first stop light, I accidentally made a left on a green light, when the person across of me had the right of way. Woo man I got lucky. And there was a cop that passed by beforehand. Anyways, I eventually make it to Monico's house, and there I cause another catastrophe. So Monico's mom made it a strict rule to not close the door and turn off the lights when a girl outside of the family (in this case Dreidel) was around. So after I accepted my phone call, I go in the room, close the door and turn off the lights, and tell CJ, Monico, and Dreidel of my situation. And when Monico reminds me to open the door, Tita just happens to be right there and begins yelling at us in Tagalog. Man that was scary. After all that, CJ & Monico shunned the crap outta me, yet Dre eventually sympathized. But yeah, other than that, it was a pretty average day.

So I'm starting to come to grips with my feelings and what not. I don't think I'm gonna follow through on the Thursday 'date'. At the moment, it sounded like a swell idea, and a way for me to get back into the dating world, but how can I enjoy that date with the foreign girl if I'm already thinking about someone else? Man I'm freaking horrible. Anyways, so I made this blog at Monico's house with CJ with me and the beast of the Serengeti knocked the f**k out. Monico is about to go home, so I better cut this blog off now x] I'm kinda glad he doesn't believe in blogs xD

FYI: IF YOU'RE READING THIS, THEN DAMMIT ALL XD

From Date to Jam...

So. Instead of that date, I'm gonna blow it off for a jam session >.< and plus I can't be a manwhore now. x[ x[ thats not me.

In other news, I am back on jamming on sax hardcore. & It is also time for me to embrace my duties as the section leader of the sax section in marching band. I need to hold a practice session soon T_______T

& I gotta make an effort to hang out with Damon & Daniel.

Come into my Dreamland.

"Nothing matters at all. Just you and me. No Rules. No laws. TURN IT UP!" - Mulatto

One of my favorite bands of all time. And majority of them are Poly Alumni going big :)

So yesterday, I went on a little driving excursion. I went to Cerritos real quick to meet up with Kathleen to pick up my hygiene kit, talked to her briefly, and began looking for a place to eat. Eventually I came across New Miyako, and got some legit Ramen :D Then I gave some to CJ, who was sick earlier. After countless Spongbob episodes aired by, we decided to bounce and pick up Franchini at her place, but the next thing that happens is like a M. Night Shyamalan movie twist [btw, I am HELLA looking forward to The Last Airbender directed by the same guy.]

So after some speeding on the freeway, we eventually end up at Silverado Park. I was hella fatigued at first, so when Chini told us to wait 5 minutes, I took the opportunity to get some shut-eye. Later she calls me and tells us to "Close your eyes". CJ predicted that she was gonna ask me out or something along those lines, but it turns out that the surprise was none other than the comeback of Christian Malinis! CJ & I just dashed outta the car and freaking gave him some man-lovin ;) After some rebonding with the happy-go-lucky adult, we headed to Rica's "kickback" celebration.

And I gotta admit, I kinda felt outta place most of the time, but I had my moments. One of the most interesting moments was during the after-party, where Ramon posed the question,

"What is the point of dance?"

Man, he really knows how to stimulate conversation, but if Monico was around when he asked that, then we would've seen either

A) a Brawl [not the video game]

B) a Heated Debate

But anyways, Arie and I did the talking and yeah. The Story Goes.

Another one of those interesting moments, was when Rica got her "Birthday dance". What started out as a 'practice routine' from PAC Camp, ended up becoming a service. o__O That. was. burning. This hotel thing that supposed to happen on August 7th is starting to look more and more interesting. A sleepover of 2 seperate groups of friends. That birthday dance also opened my eyes to aspects of people that I haven't witness. Work it! xD

Anyways, after all that, I dropped CJ off to Monico's place, then went 88mph back home to the future [I'll give you a white chocolate macademia cookie if you get the reference]. Got some chastising from mom, then attempted to sleep.

SEDUCTIVE DREAMS FOR THE FAIL!! O__o I'm just a guy.

Something from my Favorite Comedian...

"But I'd rather shed a few tears in remembrance than cry buckets in regret." - LittleKuriboh

It's got me thinking about a lot of things...

How the hell....?

Did we end up winning a Worldwide Karaoke contest with this!?!?

[I didn't sing; I filmmed, produced, directed, and editted the video]

It still puzzles me to this day, but at least we got somethings out of it x]

Conversations in the Key of C# Major with a Lowered 7th

3 hours 8 minutes and 39 seconds.

I think its a new personal record. xD

From fobby singing, to awkward silences, deep talk, and legit singing. x]

My phone died 2 minutes after the convo. I think its time to charge >:]

And I need to get better at singing, like hardcore!!

Travel & Punishment

Well.

So last night, I spontaneously went to Long Beach/Lakewood to meet up with the boys. =D Dropped off Arie home, then went to Monico's house. I was first greeted by Monico's mom, "EJ, can you take those 2 boys outside home?" I guess I felt a little special that Tita asked me that type of favor, but at the same time, I didn't feel like driving anymore xP But anyways, I took them home [one of the boys is Keena's boyfriend Maverick], then I got some KFC to bring back to the Lorenzana's house. Since I epically fail at parking at the moment, I let CJ park my car, but what happened is that nigga crushed my legs and knee caps while parking. DICK MOVE!

So CJ learned April Nhem's original song, Monico was overly-psyched at the fact that one of his 'crushes' left him a picture comment [but I gotta admit, a picture comment from that particular chick is RARE!]. We ended up playing Brawl to waste our lives away, with me getting pwned hardcore.

After all the silly stuff, we actually sat down and had our heart 2 heart (rap session)!! :D It felt relieving, and gave me some new insights on things. And it was nice looking back on things, noticing how foolish we were back then, especially at the fact how __________ [that particular conversation doesn't leave the sala]. We ended up knocking out at 5am in the morning and waking up @ 10am to meet up with Tita Leoni to visit Paul.

However, getting there was a tragedy of its own. Instead of going straight there, we had to make detours for CJ to get his money for OC Faire. It took us an hour to collect it all, and we made Tita Leoni wait an hour for us to get there. When me & CJ finally got there (Monico left somewhere esle), we got to see Tita Leoni, Paul, and a phone call from my mom how she found out that I was driving passengers T______T So after everything, I immediately drove home awaiting punishment, but instead I just straight up knock out.

When I finally woke up, there's all these text messages and missed calls on my phone. FML! I forgot that I was supposed to meet up with everybody at OC Faire, but its far and I don't have money. So now we get to the present events: wake up with Maricar in front of my face, my sister on my legs, my other sister with her boyfriend on her bed, I get on the computer, have a brief chat with Franchini about randomness XD, and now discussing how Shelby and the girls should spend our prize money. I totally forgot about that Japanese video contest we entered in, and won o________O ! Anyways, I finished this blog at around 4:41 pm. And I need to get a life x(

I'M HUNGRY!! GODDAMIT GET OFF MY WOMEN BEETCH XD

History Repeats Itself

So...

I got my car back finally, and it costed around 880 bucks :[ Basically, my mom got the car for cheap, but she ended paying DOUBLE due to the fact that this car was impounded before under my sister's direction. History is cruel. We owe my mom so much right now. But at least I have a little bit more freedom-ish.

Utilizing that freedom, I spontaneously traveled to CSULB to go see PAC Campers such as Monico, Maricar, Franchini, mysterious girl apparently named 'Penny', DKF people etc etc.

I'm hungry. So I originally planned to knock out at around 11ish until FREAKING FRANCHINI KEPT ME UP FROM GOING TO SLEEP.

I guess its worth it though x) It is interesting talking to her. But on aim = depressing. It's a LOT harder to figure people out when you can't even see their faces :( Or hear their tone of voice.

Anyways, so I have no life and have no drive to sleep. I guess I'll continue later.

btw, if you're the one reading this, then FML!

Sleep-Deprived EJ thanks to that one chick xP

Mickey Mouse Jerking??

IT. IS. ARMAGEDDON!!

jk. It's just my sister messing around in her Mickey Costume!

Cholesterol with a Side of Fried Cholesterol

Redundancy for the fail xD

I started off my day by dropping of my sister to Disneyland. I did not sleep until after I dropped her off and knocked out at 6:30am. Then I traveled to Long Beach using my sister's Toyota Kia. That thing is a speeding beast!

Met up with CJ, Arie, Kristine, Monico, Dreidel, Rochelle, Gary, and Kathleen. By the way, happy brithday Kathleen :D Suddenly Franchini & Rika call me outta nowhere and end up burning 45 minutes off my plan x[ Its worth it though talking about the most random things =] Got some Dennys later on, but then shit happened.

So basically my main reason for being in LB today was to raise money to get back my car out of impound, and we basically failed. We only raised 280 dollars out of the 650 we were supposed to raise. Well at least CJ got his license now! Woohoo! Even so, CJ's mom is being really self-centered with the issue and is now to the point where she is neglecting him. I say, CJ if you're reading this, GET EMANCIPATED ASAP! Don't deal with this shit anymore!

Other than the driving/car/teenage drama, I'm starting to worry about my heart; physically and emotionally. I need to get some excersize. xP Emotionally, well, lets just say thats gonna have to wait.

Random = Bonded with Eldest Sister's BF on the way home. I like him =] He's cool.

Well this is kinda of a more simpler blog compared to the previous two, so ehh, I'll fix this when I have time.
