This week was FAIRLY interesting.

In my last post, I forgot to mention my two nightmares I had last week.

Nightmare #1: I've been having problems with friends lately. idk, they've changed and I've stayed the same. It's been like this since summer. I don't understand the point of partying, clubbing, & getting drunk right now. I'm in no hurry to grow up and want to take things slowly. I guess things happen for a reason. Well in my dream, my girl friends were ignoring me and talking about all the parties they went to and had fun at. Somehow.. we all ended up screaming at each other and when I woke up, I was crying. I'm that type of person who HATES it when you get mad at her, I feel like crap. I get along with everybody 24/7 so I'm not used to anybody hating/being mad at me. horrrrrible feelings.

Nightmare #2: In this one, I was driving with some friends in my car. We were driving through this construction site & was going suuuper fast. Then I got to this cliff area where it had no rails. On the side of the cliff was another road underneath and this eighteen wheeler was coming towards me. Somehow I accidently swerved off the cliff into the truck. The whole time the car was flying through the air i was like "OH SHIT OH SHIT, MY CAR IS GOING TO BE DAMAGED" instead of "OH SHIT OH SHIT, IM GOING TO DIE" Somehow I knew I wasn't going to die. They say, if you die in your dreams then you die in real life. I've had plenty of nightmares where I get shot and stuff like that but I didn't die. I didn't die.. obviously. All I cared about was my car though and when I got home, my parents started yelling at me. I think I'm still kind of traumatized from the car accident I had a couple of weeks ago. These two nightmares just goes to show you how much I care about my friends AND my car. hahah.

Monday:
There was a talent show I went to during 2nd period. I was deathly sick that day so I was in a daze and didn't go to tennis practice. Just went home and slept. Took a bajillion different types of medicine.

Tuesday:
I think I did pretty beastly at tennis practice. It was probably just the medication and sickness combined together. I should get sick more often! hahah. I had to go to the library to pick up books for my research paper due on thursday. Met up with Quang at this one library but they had basically nothing so I had to drive him to a different one. We talked about everything and just bonded like old times. It was also College Fair that night and we got back from the library a little early so we just sat in my car and talked some more. It was nice. At CF, we met up with Bao & Dan. Walked around and got a bunch of papers from different colleges. When Yin showed up, Bao disappeared with her so I just hung out with the guys. I forgot how hilarious they were. We got tired of walking around so we just sat in the stands and talked about homecoming, life, and whatever. They told me of the ways they were going to ask their girl and I was just like AWWW. Dan said his was a cookie cake that said "will you go to hc with me?" and there was two slices cut, one with yes & one with no and the girl was supposed to eat the answer. Quang's way was baking her cupcakes that said "hc w/ me?" and place it at her desk 1st period. I'm supposed to help them both execute the plan. I'm really glad they finally caught on to ask girls cutely to HC but I want someone to ask me cutely too :[ All my guy friends get advice from me and my girlfriends while we're left stuck with nothing. WAHHHHH. after the quality bonding time we had, dan let quang drive his stick car. then dan got into the car and was driving 90 miles per hour in the parking lot. HELLA SCARY. yet fun at the same time. the police came and like parked near me & quangs car so we dan had to drop us off in a distance and we had to walk. i love those guys! it was a fun night.

Wednesday:
Had a tennis match against Rowlett. WE WON BIZNATCHES! yeahhh booo yahh. I had a research paper due thursday that I hadn't started on until now. stupid procrasination. but yeah I was like on a level of stress that I'm pretty sure wasn't healthy for me. I finally finished it at 1 but didn't go to sleep until 1:30 because i dont know why. plus on top of that, I was still sick.

Thursday:
Stopped at the gas station in the morning to get a Monster so I was like woooooo during 1st/2nd period and then X_X after that. I can't really remember what happened that day because I was out of it. Our football team played our HUGE rivals in the district (south garland) and beat their asses. They stole our canon and did damage to it but we got a new one so suck THAT! We've had a long history of hating each other and it felt good to hear that our FB team creamed them. Wish I was there at the game though :[

Friday:
I didn't have to go over to NG for clinicals so we stayed in homeroom. Dulce Lee & I went over to the donut shop in the middle of 1st to eat and I swear we were like police magnets. We had to hide a lot because they seemed to be everywhere while walking to the shop. The rest of the day went by pretty fast. Before tennis, somebody did something to piss me off so idk but I started crying. All my tennis friends were like AWWW DIEM DONT CRY. I love them :] I wasn't supposed to show up to practice till 3:30 but went at 1:00 because I had nothing else to do. I think I wore myself out before my match at 4. We had to play Lake Highlands in singles & doubles and I freakin' lost both. During my singles match I started getting hot & cold at the same time so that wasn't too good. I was just pissed from before and did poorly. I got home showered and went to dinner with the fambam. I crashed on my bed afterwards.

Saturday:
I had my senior pictures! IDK if it turned out well or not, but my photographer was pretty nice. He was like give me a soft smile -click- now think of hot guys or something and I like grinned pretty big hahaha. I took my yearbook ones and my cap&gown one. I'll take my outfits one later in the spring or something. My dad then took me to go buy paint for my parking spot, I spent as much money on paint as as I did on my parking spot. AIYAHHH. It better turn out freakin' FANTASTIC. He then took me to Best Buy & Circuit City to look at flatscreens cause we needed a new one. We headed home and then I took my car out to go buy groceries and dinner for me and bro and that was the endddd.

Sunday:
I PAINT MY PARKING SPOT TODAY! I'm excited. Well actually, I'm not painting it but I'm making an artistic friend do it cause I can't draw to save my life. I'll take pictures and post it later on here :]





it was so much fun painting mine, and helping other people paint. THANKS JULIA FOR THE HELP! more pictures on FB/myspace :]

I kinda sorta? found a homecoming date ;]

YAYY! It happened so quickly, I forgot how & where it happened x_X I guess I was sitting at lunch with Quang & Cameron when I was like aww. i don't have an hc date yet. and that one cutie Cameron was like "i'll go with you diem!" so I was like really?! but then he said that band had a UIL thing to go to that whole entire day and that all the band kids couldn't go to homecoming even if they wanted to but he would go with me if he could go. so that's how I kinda sorta have one :[ In Texas, we make mums & garters for each other (mums=girls, garters=guys) and if you ever seen the wall behind me when I was live, thats what all the ribbons were. You basically put together a bunch of pretty ribbons that are your school colors with little bells & trinkets and wear it homecoming day and to the game. It’s a huge traditional in Texas, the more unique your mum/garter is, the better! If you buy yours it can get pretty costly. The dates can make it for each other or buy them and Cameron said he’ll make my mum while I make his garter except I’m probably going to make mine and his at the same time since it’s my senior mum. Seniors get to stand out from the crowd and have an all white mum with their choice of a color. I haven’t decided about mine yet but I’m SUPER excited! (: I also found out today that Band actually might have a chance to go! I’ll just cross my fingers for now. I remember my sophomore I had 2 super fly dates. yeahhh. big pimpin’ ;] I love homecoming. I hope this one is certainly memorable, in a GOOD way of course.


These are my mums ranging from freshman year to junior year. Honestly, I think my sophomore year was the best because it was professionally made and the other mums were made by other people. The sophomore year costed my two dates 100 dollars though :X My senior mum is going to be TIIIGHT. At least you'll know what I'm wearing in my pictures after I upload them and you won't have to ask :]

Monday:
I had my very first HOSA meeting after school and then had to run over to tennis practice from there. From tennis practice I had to run back to school to plan for an Key Club event on Saturday. phew. busy busy busy. That night was Senior Parking Space Auction where seniors could bid for a parking space of their very own. We have a back parking lot where everybody wants to park but seniors get a spot if they pay and win. It was a silent auction where you just write down your name & how much you bid and just try to outbid the person in front of you. The number one spot went for freakin’ 300 dollars! The second spot went for 150. geeeez. Everyone is so rich in my class x_X It was pretty intense in there, once I wrote down my name on a spot, another person would outbid me >[ In the end, I won two parking spots. In a choice between Number 48 & 37, I obviously picked the closer one. I get to paint my spot next Sunday, I’ve decided I want my name and hello kitty :]

Tuesday:
was boring.

Wednesday:
I made record time on the key club meeting (5 minutes) since there was another group waiting to use the cafeteria after us. I then had to rush over to the tennis courts because we had a match over Mesquite Horn. DANNNG. There was this one super fine asian guy and I think he knew I was staring at him because I caught his eye several times :P We won 16 out of 19 matches so my team is basically back on track again!

Thursday:
My parents went to my brother’s orchestra concert so I talked on skype with Oliver, Anh, and Hobo :] I MISS YOU GUYS! We all watched Kevin on blogtv and I watched NigaHiga on blogtv for a little bit too. My rents bought home Chick Fil A for dinner and I was like in heaven cause I was super huuuuungry.

Friday:
It was Pep Rally day so all of our classes were shortened by 15 minutes. I decided not to stay for it because I had Senior Release and left school at 12:30 to go to Target to buy candy for the kc project on Saturday, headed down to the mall to Barnes & Noble to buy an english book, and then went over to my grandma’s house to spend some time with her. My grandma is the nicest little old lady you’ll ever meet. She pressured me into taking 30 dollars for gas money. loooove her to death. Went out to dinner with fambam and then went home and worked on stuff.

Saturday:
There was this thing called Owl Conference and it’s a pretty neat leadership event at our school. Key Club was leading a room and our room was based on leadership styles and self motivation. We first did an icebreaker where you partner up with a person and then have two circles, one inner and the other outer. One circle walks one way and the other one walks the other way. Once the music stops you run and find your partner while my friend shouted out two body parts and you had to go touch them. For example, the knee to stomach one was pretty funny because everyone was kicking their partner in the stomach. It was really entertaining to watch. After that we did a little lecture thing and then played another game. I’m too lazy to explain it but I think everything went over pretty well for just 3 hours of planning the night before. After the different room sessions were over, we did other activities and had yummy lunch. The seniors were having a car wash at this one place but I decided not to go to it because I’m starting to get sick :[

I take my senior portraits next Saturday, hope they turn out pretty! :]

I'm in the love song type of mood :]

So I'm currently listening to the Jonas Brothers- Love Bug right now. omfgg. It makes me all warm & tingly inside. MARRY ME JOE! :] I really need to get their new CD.

This week went by pretty smoothly I guess. On Monday, didn't have tennis practice so me & Quang went over to Ant's house to hang a little bit. We then went over to Target where I bought my SECOND pack of Hello Kitty stickers BECAUSE everybody kept taking them. Who knew HK was so popular eh? hahah. We just hung around there and then me & Quang had to circle back to school cause we had meetings. On Tuesday, no tennis practice either! so I got to go home at 1. ahhh thats how things are supposed to work out. X_X Wednesday except that I had to stay up super late to do homework. I hate those type of nights. IB History is screwing me over :[ On Thursday, I was just glad the whole day was over with. A days are a pain in the arseee. I went over to GTC to watch our JV team play against South's Varsity team. wooped them 16 games to 3. hahah :] I GOT MY BABY BACK ON FRIDAY! I was like, -huuuuuuuge hug- Hopefully nobody crashes into me again >[ I took the gosh dang ACT on Saturday, it's definitely easier than the SAT but the science portion like blew my mind x_X I got a freakin' hurrrrcut, but its too short for my liking :X I'm taking my yearbook senior portraits on the 27th so thats why mom wanted to chop it off. WAHHH. This upcoming week is going to be hectic.
