smile for me. (:

so last friday, blog...we almost got arrested. -_-

me, henry, and sujaya. actually just henry and sujaya, blog. i ran away. (:

we were doing our ap english/us history project on illegal immigration.

and we were at the ins (immigration and naturalization service) office..taking pictures for our scrapbook.

and i guess thinking that we might be terrorists, we were almost arrested by the security officers at the ins office. -_-

!! but how could they think we were terrorists, blog. -_- we didn't even LOOK close to being terrorists.

henry and sujaya just looked like regular asian boys. you knoe how they dress. a shirt and kind of baggy pants.

and i just looked....stupid. i was wearing a skirt that had green flowers all over it because it was green day. (i don't think terrorists dress like that.)

it all started when we were just taking pictures, blog. henry was taking a picture of me and sujaya stupidly pointing to a sign that said "federal building" when the security officer saw him and growled at him: YOU! YOU--COME HERE. and he grabbed henry's camera.

then the security guard also saw sujaya's video camera and roared at him to come too. like this: YOU COME HERE TOO!

i was standing next to sujaya..and i was almost frozen. but right when the security officer called sujaya to come..i ran away. and hid behind a big stone pillar...before the security officer could see me.

(besides..IF they were dragged off to jail i could save them and be the hero of the day. (: )

and while i was catching my breath behind the pole this old immigrant asian man shook his finger at me saying: no-no.

and i whispered back: but we didn't knoe!! we didn't knoe that taking pictures of a building was bad! we are INNOCENT!!

and i held my hands up for emphasis.

but i don't think he understood because he just shrugged. -_-

and i was SO SCARED, blog. you don't understand...i was praying so hard..

and at one point i was so furious at myself for bringing up the topic, 'illegal immigration' for our project. -_-

then i was trying to muster up all my courage to yell at the security officers telling them that we were just there for a project and that we were taking pictures for our scrapbook. and that they shouldn't falsely accuse us because we were innocent.

and to beat them up and punch them in the nose and give them a jackiechanbuttkick for punishment.

but then i didn't. i was such a scaredy-cat. -_- i was afraid that they would arrest me and then that way i wouldn't be able to save henry and sujaya.

and some police/security officers are mean and cruel and don't listen so i was scared that they would beat me up. and leave me lying in the streets to be run over and over by cars because the streets are busy in downtown la.

yes. so after standing behind the pole i walked off..and waited and waited. they ordered henry and sujaya to put their hands up..

sujaya told me that he tucked his hands behind my head just like the tv show 'cops' (i don't knoe what he's talking about) and the guard yelled at him. (poor sujaya)

and they took so long. -_- henry said that they took down all of his information because he was the one who took the picture.

and then after a looong forty-seven minutes (i kept looking at the time) henry and sujaya walked over to me in very sober faces and they gave me their stuff and went into the ins office..leaving me outside allll alone. -_-

so i stood there for thirty-two minutes walking up and down the stairs. and these people kept staring at me because i had this video camera around my neck and a digital camera in one hand and a cell phone in the other. it was henry's because i forgot mine at home. and he gave it to me to call them in case of emergency.

and then they finally come out. and they were safe.

BIG *SIGH OF RELIEF* but well, what do you expect. God DID answer my prayers. yay. (: (thanks God.)

so we were ignorant of the fact that pictures weren’t allowed to be taken at the INS office..and that

so the ins was on “orange alert?-second to the highest alert suspiciously looking out for any sign of terrorism--and we were just ignorant of the fact that pictures weren’t allowed to be taken at the INS office. -_-

but that's so a;sodifjidjfij.

like henry says: almost being arrested at the INS building in LA for merely snapping a picture. @_@

but that all belongs to last friday, may thirtieth. @_@ (i hope that never happens again. and if it does, i'm really going to punch the guards in the nose and give them a jackiechanbuttkick)

but at least we're all safe back home now. (:

and on the way back home, henry turned up the music really loud and it hurt my ears. @_@

then after he turned it down but his system makes the bass boom really hard so you could feel it bellowing under your seat that it makes your heart feel like it's beating at three different times..

and at the same time it tickles. -_- and i told sujaya and henry to turn down the bass because it tickled and they just laughed. -_- and they just kept turning up the bass and i had to stand up because my whole seat was VIBRATING like crazy. @_@

and all they did was: laugh and laugh and laugh. and i was SO EXASPERATED, blog. >_<

and henry always did that when i rode with him in the car. -_- when i drive, i'm going to make him sit allll the way in the back in "dan the van" and drive bumpily so he'll get a headache. -_-

and if i'm rich enough, i'll get a system and turn up the bass and make him sit against the speaker so he'll knoe how i feel. -_-

the NEXT DAY after ins office, we decide that we needed to go to temecula. because our field trip to the ins office didn't work too well.

so off to temecula we go with sujaya's parents..and we visited some border patrol office. and we the border patrol STICKERS!! *beam*

but then sujaya's father took them from me because he likes them. -_- so they made me go in and get more ALL BY MYSELF. and the border patrol agent raised his eyebrow when i took five stickers.

i reserved one for the scrapbook but i can't find the rest of them so i think my mother threw them away so that means i have no border patrol stickers for myself. *sob*

anyhow, on the way there to temecula, there were like seven billboards advertising a casino in temecula called pechanga. and they wanted to go really bad. so afterwards, we all went to the casino. my first time at a casino.

and when we arrived there, these people wearing white polo shirts took the car and drove it away and sujaya's father had to give them money because they asked for it..but sujaya says it's called valet parking. -_-

i don't understand why we can't just drive the car and park OURSELVES for FREE. -_-

so as we walk into the casino, sujaya said: evangeline, you're walking through SIN CITY. right now, everyone's sinning..

and i felt really really weird, blog...not to mention uncomfortable. -_-

there were a whole bunch of people--mainly old people sitting on seats and pressing buttons. they're like playing kiddie games, blog. @_@ so i thought it was funny...except they're gambling. *_*

and there was this big no smoking sign but a whole bunch of people were smoking anyway. and they sell these BIG BROWN things. henry and sujaya says it's called cigars.. but i KNOE what cigars are.. but when you see them they're HUMONGO. @_@

and then sujaya's parents wanted to eat at a buffet so off we went and i put too much chilli on my pizza because i didn't knoe how much i was supposed to put but sujaya's father said that eating chilli makes you look younger BUT i look young enough.

to have people think i'm in eighth grade or to have people think that christina's older than me.... -_-

and he was drinking coffee i think and he asked if anyone one of us wanted to drink coffee and i said no because it makes me short.

then he asked: who said that? the books?! books are stupid. they know nothing.

then he added: well, i've been drinking coffee since i was young like you guys.. (he's 6'3, blog!! *SHRIEK* that's how tall i want to be)

then he made up his own hypothesis about coffee: drinking coffee makes you tall.

but i don't knoe. maybe it does....@_@ i should've drank some this week since i was pulling all-nighters everyday. -_-

i was so relieved when i finished the scrapbook (all by myself except for one page) wednesday morning..nine thirty-four. so that meant no first period and late to second period. -_- (but i was sick too so i stayed home a little longer)

staying up til three am cramming or pulling all-nighters can get you sick. -_-

uncle filmed me, sujaya, henry and christina, angela, abraham, and marianna on wednesday night, blog.

and henry was the border patrol and the rest of us were illegal immigrants. henry and sujaya wanted to film with the "star tours van" (dan the van) but we just used sujaya's car.

and henry had to say stop and pretend to check the car (with sujaya driving and christina angela and marianna and me inside and abraham in the trunk.)

and then sujaya had to stop driving and yell hurry up in spanish (it's pronounced andeday with a spanish accent) and clap his hands in emphasis. and we had to run out of the car. and i had to open the trunk for abraham and everyone except for sujaya waited for me (but they were supposed to run off) and by the time we went running sujaya was like seven feet ahead of us. @_@

and we also filmed sujaya as an illegal immigrant girl--and he had to wear christina's wig for dance and i gave him a purse and he had to talk like a girl..seriously, blog--he has a really HIGH voice..it's higher than mine. @_@

before the filming, me and henry were waiting so long for him, blog. -_- he went to eat at some restaurant in monterey park..and then he was supposed to be back by nine pm. but then he changed it to nine-thirty.

then when he came it was nine thirty-FOUR. FOUR MINUTES LATE!! @_@

because me and henry felt so A:SOd we decided to give him a punishment.

so when he came around the corner, we scared him like this: BOO! and scare him we did. eheheheh. his eyes were like this, blog: O_O

and he told me later that he said the s word but me and henry didn't hear because we were laughing so hard that i almost started crying. (:

anyhow me and sujaya were SUPER relieved when we finished our video/powerpoint at two o'clock am SHARP.

two am. i think that's the latest that sujaya ever stayed up. (: eheh.

he used to sleep at nine pm every night last year. and in junior high he slept at SEVEN PM. -_- if he could give me HALF of all the sleep he got...i wouldn't be so tired. @_@

and he kept yelling at me because i took so long on the commentary but there were so many important stuff to put in. -_-

yes. and henry "had to" go to jspot. but he said he tried to help sujaya fix the video at hector's house. but sujaya ended up working on it for three hours that he was too happy to care.

yes. so me and sujaya were left working.

and i was supposed to give all the info to sujaya by eight pm but i was so tired, blog--so i fell asleep. (shh don't tell sujaya)

and i ended up giving everything to him at two am. (sorrie)

so alas, our ap english/us history project is over for life. *sob* no more working with sujaya and henry. no more getting arrested at ins office, no more temecula, or planning to go to mexico, no scrapbook, video, no more FARTING at my house @_@, matchmaking themselves with marianna and christina (i'll make sure they'll never fall for you guys)....and i can't remember anymore. -_-

as sujaya puts it: at least it's memories to look back on..

but don't worry. we're not sad, blog. we're just glad that it's OVER.

christina's springshow was last saturday. i went there to see her. (: (and jesskao, debbuah, sally and esther and jc but jc didn't show up because he was annapolis for the naval academy training)

and they danced so good that maybe i really should take dancing lessons for them. (not! never never. i don't need dancing lessons. -_- i just dance the evangotango)

and i cheered really loud for them especially christina that my throat hurts so bad. ._. i said: christina i love you! four times i think but it would've sounded better if it was a boy-voice saying it.

BUT if some guy DID say that..i would HUNT HIM DOWN and BEAT HIM UP and tell him to stop hitting on my sister and KEEP AWAY. or else he'll get a jackiechanbuttkick next time.

and then at the end we told marianna to get these pretty red and yellow star balloons. and then when i was outside waiting with steph for christina, yumi shouts: EVANGELINE!! watch out! and andy kuo and jason fukao yelled: RUN AWAY!! HURRY!!

and i was so confused..and right when i turned around..this scary lady stalks up to me and demands that she have the balloons or else i'll get the dance team in trouble. and that it was the drill team property. -_-

but that wasn't true. and i was so shocked and dumbfounded that i handed the balloons to her and mumbled sorry i didn't knoe. and i EXPECTED STEPH to say something but she didn't because she was dumbfounded too.

but afterwards when we had something to say back to her it was too late because she was gone. -_-

later we saw her put a whole bunch of balloons in her van--what was she going to do with those balloons?! keep them for herself?! -_-

they're going to end up shrinking and die out. and we just wanted it to be inside our house to make our house look a little prettier. @_@

-_- like they say: oh well.
