smile for me. (:

it's nice. i've been waking up earlier on weekends than on weekdays for four weeks straight already (which equals a month!). -_-

last last last saturday i wake up at the rude time of five thirty-two. someone shaking me, who happens to be couldeena. what do you know, i need to wake up to do her hair for her dance competition. @_@ yefs, i'm her maid. -_- you could look at it this way too: she slept on the bed and i slept on the floor.

heh just kidding. i just like sleeping on the sleeping bag because it's swooshy.

then last last saturday, pretty up christina's hair again at the mean time of five.

and then last saturday, i had to wake up at six forty-eight am to study my theory for my piano cm test (certificate of merit). i'm testing advanced level since there's no such thing as level XI. it stops at level X. i'm testing again because you have to get at least a ninety percent to be exempt from taking the test and i received a nice score of eighty-nine POINT FIVE percent. ._.

!! yes. so i was half a point away from getting a ninety. -_- i was super exasperated so i cried. (: it was a very sad moment for me. (you could ask my mother)

well so i studied for my theory because i didn't know anything and we have to test performance so i played five songs. (: i got branch honors which is going to be on the twenty-eighth of march. (: i'm going to be play cat and mouse.

i also saw my old piano teacher there at cm and i was terribly shaken but she was actually cordial for once.

oh yes, how could i forget, blog. last saturday i also had a track meet--our first one which was at citrus college--azusa foothill. and i had to run the eight hundred meter relay. so i got to run with the baton! (:

i arrived five minutes right before my race started. i heard that fess threatened to shoot me if i didn't show up. -_- and he later told me he wanted to ban me from track.

erika lares was going to cover for me too. heh oops. i caused so much trouble. @_@ but at least i was a little early for my race. (:

i wasn't very excited because they made me ANCHOR. -_- usually it's the first person and the anchor person who have to run the fastest. and i was super scared i was going to let everyone down because you know, it's a relay.

so it was elisa, adelaide, sabrina then me in our fine eight hundred relay.

when elisa started, we had lead because she's just too fast. then after adelaide and sabrina, we bumped down to third.

and i maintained third place, or so i thought. i reckon i was mistaken because fess said we got second place. (: maybe ayala or the other school got disqualified but oh well. GOOD JOB GIRLS!!

it was only two laps but i was super tired i thought i was going to turn green and pop. and we got medals! (:

but that was last saturday.

now THIS saturday morning, i wake up at six thirty-two. am. today we had journalism write-offs at diamond bar high school. it's nice at diamond bar because it reminds me of home--you know, how it's painted orange heh. but it IS nice there. i asked weelbur and wilso for their locker numbers (because they have lockers there) so maybe i could drop off a secret note but they didn't know. -_-

well anyhow, i rose early for nothing. DANNY here told me to meet at school at seven o'clock sharp. and so there i was at seven o'clock. (okay maybe seven o'three am.)

no journalism people were in sight. there were dance team people scattered all over. cj (jc) said he didn't see anyone from journalism. and i got scared and thought everyone left without me because i was late. @_@

but i parked anyway--in sujaya's parking space because someone was already parked in my space. -_- and then what do you know, a minute later, danny's car is right next to mine.

yea so we both thought everyone was supposed to arrive at seven. -_- i almost wanted to yell at him. but it feels so good to be up early in the morning. it's nice and pretty. so i forgave him.

i was reading pride and prejudice when he showed up. i think i'm addicted to that book. then i read Bible for a little bit then me and danny decided to go play with the dance people since we had about forty minutes to do nothing.

i walked in the gate to find stella, isis, and kristen wilks selling programs. they tried unsuccessfully to sell them to me too. -_- they cost one dollar. for a bunch of paper stapled together. @_@ and they kept following me around so i had to run away.

haha..dance people are crazy, i tell you. they had to get to school at five-thirty. to set up, i think, because they had to host a dance competition.

so christina was there at five-thirty. and dragged angela along. they had to set up and sell souvenirs. and i bought stuff from them. (:

it was seven forty so mostly everyone arrived. i just left with jessica lee and bao-an and we were following jlee because i forgot how to get there and when she made a wrong turn we all had to make u-turns. -_- heh.

they gave us doughnuts and orange juice/milk and i saw jane from back in the old days of torture choir. (:

my code number was p15. me, danny, jojoe and kevin highland went as photographers. but they forgot to announce where the photographers were supposed to go so we had to stand around.

so after this lady instructed us, we had an hour and twenty minutes to finish our roll.

i remember i was taking pictures of trash pickers and this random boy comes up to me and yells at me for taking a picture of him and rants how i didn't ask him for permission. -_-

i don't even remember him being in any of my pictures. -_-

another thing that i got so exasperated over (and so did kevin and danny) was that EVERY SINGLE TIME i was taking a picture of something/someone, all these other photographers saw and they come running and take the same exact picture i'm taking.

a;sodijasd it's supposed to be a COMPETITION. and they were stealing my ideas. ._. stop copying me! i wanted to stick out my tongue and call them duplicate dogs but then my father taught me to be nice so i let them copy me. and i suppose it's a free country so they would've done it anyway. -_-

but i bet you if we all turned in our pictures without our codes then they wouldn't have been able to tell them apart since all the pictures are practically the same.

it was lunch break for us photographers so i went off with danny, jojoe, and kevin in kevin's nice classic car. we decided to eat at brea foodcourt. and i was kind of mad at myself because i forgot the macy*s name tag that jordan wan chan made for me so i couldn't get the ten percent discount. -_-

kevin and danny got arby's and i got panda express because i like chinese food and jojoe got gengis khan (pronounced jin jis khan). but danny got hungry later and bought carl's jr.

i wanted to visit jordan at macy*s except he wouldn't pick up his phone and all of them wanted to go to hot topic and we were to stay together as a group. -_-

hot topic's nice and all. with punk stuff!! (: but it's scary there too..since there's this dark angery atmosphere about.

i saw sweet factory and i wanted to buy some sour candy for my siblings. jojoe volunteered to go with me to be my buddy so we went and i got a free green tin box. (:

then i went to hunt for jordan at macy*s but i couldn't find him and that blasted boy wouldn't pick up his phone. -_-

the clock striked twelve forty-five and we had to get back to dbhs at one so we went back to submit our photos. my pictures weren't that great since i just tried to waste film. (:

i think kevin's pictures were pretty nice--he's a born photographer. and jojoe's and danny's pictures were way better.

i ended up getting ninth place for feature. yay. -_- hahah. but at least i placed, blog. aren't you proud!! (:

but danny and jojoe got sixth and fifth place respectively for feature. (i think)

and THEN kevin highland got FIRST for news. (: good job my fellow photographers. you guys all placed higher than me.

we had a three hour break for the judging. and me and kevin didn't want to stay so we left. i went back to brea to visit jordan because i didn't visit him this year yet. (the last time i went was during christmas shopping).

it's saturday. and the shopping is crazy. or i should say women. they were all in a flurry and ordering people around. at the shoe department, the shoes were all over because the ladies would just throw them around or something.

i finally spotted jordan and he gave me a look because he had his manager was right there watching him work so i was going to pretend that i needed shoes. i got these ugly old lady shoes but jordan looked tired so i just sat in a chair and patiently waited for him and watched as ladies clawed at him and pointed at shoes.

jordan said he would take his fifteen minute break except he took forever. and i got drowsy so i fell asleep at the chair and woke up to find some women next to me talking to herself.

i decided to go downstairs and look at clothes since i never do. you know, it's about the hand-me-downs. haha. (:

it was fun. i saw a pretty skirt. it's white and has black polka dots and i saw an ugly green skirt!! (: yes, i wanted to buy them but i was moneyless. i should've told jordan to buy them. heh

so jordan finally calls and we go on his fifteen minute break. we went to visit varun venugopalan at the jewelry store because i haven't seen varun in ages.

he looked so businesslike in his suit and tie--he looked ready for prom and everything heh. (even more professional than jordan). he was busy so we left him. except he ran after us and scared me half to death.

he might come visit us at church again. (:

jordan was in a hurry so we said our peace outs and we went gloria jeaning where they sell yummy drinks like starbucks. except i didn't drink coffee. it was kind of grayish and looks gross. but it tasted good. (: jordan said he buys a drink for people who visit him.

(: so yes, it's saturday which means busy day for jordan wan chan so i left him with the ladies and their shoes.

then i went to visit jessicawa at her house since she "can't" drive down to brea. i accidentally ran a red light because i was super tired. and i didn't realize 'til i was in the middle of the intersection. @_@ but then no cars were crossing. so i suppose it was okay? heh

so off to sundance II, sequel canyon. i think i don't like long freeways.

i frolicked with jessicawa for a while. i borrowed a shirt from her that said: i.t.t.s which stands for independent transcendalist (and i forget what the other t stands for) society. and then on the back it said: TREE HUGGER.

heh i LIKE that shirt. she and her friend had to make it for a project. you know, thoreau and emerson and the like.

and we were supposed to clean her fish/turtle tank (because it's really moldly heh) but she didn't want to so we went cookie dough selling in her neighborhood but we either got rejected or no one was at home. -_-

so we decided that we'll just sell to other nice people like at church.

then we walked to albertsons because it's fun. we bought things like ground beef, shepherdherd (or something of the sort) bread, juice, you know those grocery things.

she's really picky about ham, blog. we spent seven minutes just to decide what kind of ham to buy. -_- we ended up buying chicken breast.

and it cost fourteen dollars and seventy-one cents i think.

(: not bad. i think i really LIKE grocery shopping. somebody should go with me every week. i like organizing the food in the cart so it looks pretty and organized and going down the produce aisles. oh yeah, which reminds me that jessicawa danced with the potatoes!! heh

i love going with my mother too. since she's going to be the one paying for everything. (:

by the time we walked back to her house, it was almost dark.

there was a man selling paintings outside of albertsons. they were so nice. you know the kinds of paintings where everything is super detailed and intricate. the different shades and colors all woven together. like the waterfalls, grass, trees. those pictures are NICE. i think i could spend the whole day staring at them. they're just super fascinating. i wish i was an artist. ._. and paint like that.

i should've bought one. it was only one hundred and eighty-nine dollars. but no way hozay would i have that much money on me. @_@

then back to jessicawa's house we went and we cooked together. corn with ground beef and cucumbers with ground beef. what fun. (:

i had to go pick up christina at school so leave i did with three hugs.

and back at school i was, waiting for the longest time for christina. @_@ they had to clean and clean. and there were extra programs so i took one and showed stella, isis and kristen that i got a free one eheheh.

me and stina were hungry so my parents brought home food and we ate ravenously.

then we talked and we amused ourselves now i shall go bedding since we have to awake early for tomorrow, which is sunday, to go churching since it's God's day. (:

p.s. i get to play the drums tomorrow! *glee
