smile for me. (:

september twenty-fifth, two thousand and three: the happiest day of my life.

well..one of them. (:

so i was scheduled to take my driving test today, blog. twenty-fifth of september, two-forty pm.

..because jordan called in for me since dmv wouldn't pick up my phone calls. @_@

advised to arrive at dmv at least half an hour early, i was to skip half of fifth period and go straight to dmv.

except nine minutes before i left class, i discovered that my heart locket was missing. -_-

i lost my heart. ._.

it's the one that has "evangeline" engraved on it; given to me from my dear sister steph. for my sixteenth birthday.

great. i can't even keep a gift for a year. -_- and it has much sentimental value. *sob* ._.

after the office calls mrs. wong to let me out of fifth period early to go take my driver's test, i went searching for my dear heart. on the ground, under the benches, in the grass, my locket was nowhere to be found. ._.

then i distinctly remember wearing one of samson's "hey! vote samson kim for frosh senator!" sign taped on my shirt..except i don't really remember if it was taped to my locket. -_-

and i was walking around selling see's candy chocolate bars for journalism fundraising (i finished selling my two boxes! HAH jojoe! and dannyee! before you guys :) i was selling my third box so someone could sell my entertainment book since i seem to sell chocolate much better even though i am not fond of it; since if you think about it, chocolate tastes like mud @_@)

oh yea it's fun selling, blog--because people actually BUY IT!

sidenote: jordan attempted to stick a "i like poo alot" phrase here when i wasn't looking..stupid jordan -_- i'm not blind. !!!

so i was just walking around with the white see's candy box like a loser since no one was buying anything..so at the top of my lungs i started advertising or you could call it promotion:

"chocolate for a dollar! oh what?! did i hear CHOCOLATE? mmmmmmm! yummy! and ONLY for a DOLLAR?! oooooooooo! and what? almonds and toffee and just milk chocolate? ALL THE FLAVORS? *GASP* and only for ONE DOLLAR?

and sure enough, people turn their heads, dig their hands in their pockets..or for girls, they hastily unzip the front of their backpacks and grab their wallets and then

*twinkle winkle* there before me stands a LINE of people. or i should say a horde since they're not very orderly. but just to buy chocolate from me!! (:

and soon my box gets lighter but my money envelope gets heavier not to mention bulgy. (:

sidenote2: another phrase that jordan tried to stick in: i like to eat poo..

@_@ okae. so i was selling candy and andy yu directly informs me that he wants a chocolate bar. except chris jeong shields andy away and exclaims that andy is his property because he's trying to sell candy bars too. push! and chris jeong is thrust aside, and i hand andy his awaited chocolate bar while jimmy attempts to steal one. erhg. i am not blind.

still bearing samson's campaign sign on my shirt, chris and paul exclaim: WHO'S SAMSON? and rips off the dear sign and throw it to the ground and trample on it while jimmy, andrew harada, and andy laugh on. -_-

"here, put the sign back on," they mockingly tell me. -_- it is dirty, and i was taught not to wear dirty things.

here. i don't remember if the tape, RED DUCT TAPE, mind you, from the sign was attached to my locket. but nevertheless it is gone. nowhere to be found. and i feel sad. ._.

barely an hour ago, and i can't remember anything. seriously i think i must be coming down with a disease, blog. -_-

or what is it--my hippocampus, which processes memory, is being destroyed! @_@ i learned that in psychology. (: but it's still a little bit of bio. -_- erhg did i tell you that i don't take an instant liking to biology, blog?

well we have to learn a "little bit" about the brain so we can have a "deeper understanding behavior, biological, psychological, and social systems" if i recall correctly. but see--i have been learning. (:

so my meticulous search was to no avail. chris just said to go look in the lost and found. -_- but i don't think custodians really pay attention to small things. -_- and a lot of them wear glasses i think. @_@

alsdhlaui. alas, my time is up; my mother calls me and demands why i am taking so long and shrieks that i'm going to be late and take no driving test. -_-

ten months and six days, alongside was i with my dear evangeline heart. goodbye, farewell, i will never see you again. *sob*

with all hopes lost, i dejectedly walked away from the lunch grounds where my dear locket possibly laid.

seeing christina and my mother and marianna waiting impatiently under the hot sun, i ran and we left the glen a. wilson high school for the day.

because time runs too fast we hurriedly rush home to drop off christina and marianna. and finally i get to drive and off we go to dmv located in pomona.

exiting, my mother tells me: wow. i'm impressed. you drove so good today. i think you improved. you'll pass your test today.

yayay. (: okae. so i know at least ONE person had faith in me. everyone thought i'd fail. people who've never ever ever seen me drive. -_-

well jordan claimed he believed that i would pass. heh. (: well he gave me a "good luck call" yesterday night. and he tried to call right before my test but TOO LATE. (: heh. thanks jordan. :)

and thanks to chriselley because he went driving with me..but i knew he was nervous when i was driving..because i was nervous too. @_@ and we almost hit a car when i was merging but we didn't. and that's when i really scared chriselley. (: sorrie. -_-

BUT he didn't think i would pass. he DOUBTED me. -_- and i heard that he and jonathan talked behind my back--and said i wouldn't PASS. *shriek* they should get a spanking. -_-

oh well.. -_- it's not like i had much family support either..stephanie was rather skeptical about me passing. and christina openly admitted that she doubted me also. how sad. -_-

but angela believed in me. (: (thank you angela *hug*) and abraham didn't say anything. and marianna doesn't even know what a driving test is. @_@

and my father just said: good. i am proud of you!!

but my mother said: did you remember that i told you that you were going to pass even before you took your test?

and my mother prayed extra hard for me too and i prayed too. (: thanks God.

so i missed ten. wahsai! i know: what an awful lot. (the most you could miss is fifteen)

it's so sad. the lady said i didn't do traffic checks. BUT I DID!! i promise!

i even exaggerated but every time it happened to be traffic-checking time, SHE WASN'T LOOKING!!

erhg. -_- i was so exasperated. what did she want me to do; tap her on the shoulder and say: LOOK AT ME!

or like steph said, i should've just yelled out: I'M TRAFFIC-CHECKING!!

well after waiting a dreadfully long sixteen years ten months and six days, i can finally say it: i passed my driving test!! *beam*

p.s. it's quite offending when people are super surprised when they find out that i passed my driving test. -_- but that's okae. I PROVED THEM WRONG. HAH! (:
