connections, somewhat ..

another earthquake today, nothing really big . i think i was shaking my leg, then i stopped &i was like is this an earthquake ? then yeahh . is it me or are earthquakes occuring more often ? i know that earthquakes are always happening, but they're usually so weak that no one can feel it.

so i turned my not finished extended essay into an internal assessment for coop today, i just had to get rid of 506 words . believe me that's not easy, i had to get rid of a lot of things . i have to add like at least 500 words to the extended essay to complete it for ms zizz .i wasn't stressing over it, i didn't have much to research anything, cause i had too much info . i just started to get all stressy like because i said i wanted it done by 12 haha, &i did (:

this one administrator from my school, Dr. Mims came to jordan i think last year &now he left to be the principal at Westchester High School in LA . &guess who graduated from there ... yup, Trevor Ariza ahaha that's pretty crazy . i know we didn't really like Dr. Mims, cause he thought he ruled the school &he was just an administrator but heyy now he can act like that cause he's the principal . honestly i didn't really like the way he was to us, but he was nice to me haha . he was on campus today, cause LAUSD schools are still on break &this one girl was like "why is he here?" . well if you watch this video, you'll see that Trevor Ariza still stops by the school &talks to the basketball team and such, and that Kobe Bryant "adopted" the school &he visits once in a while too . i was telling my cousn about this &i told him i shoulda went up to Dr. Mims &say "get kobe &trevor to come visit jordan" haha but that's kinda messed up . doing the whole i dont like you, but you have the hook ups &be all nice to him kinda deal . basically using the guy . but yeahh, i wouldn't even say anything to him, unless he called me . wow that's long haha .

my dads going to the philippines on the 19 and is going to be gone til feburary 3 . that meanss, i have a car for like three weeks . he's not going to be here during finals week &winter formal . yeah, but im not going to go out &party like something my sister would do ... that also means that its gonna be just me &my mom at home for three weeks, cause my brothers never home .

usually stuff like this doesnt affect me but today i got friend requests, comments, texts & a whole lot of IMs all regarding different things . but they all made me feel happy, helpful &wanted, well not exactly but somewhere around there . its not like i never get this, but today all of it put together had a good affect on me (:


random picture: blood drive day .

sleeping 101

if there was really a class, i would take it . since i seriously don't understand how everytime i take a nap &sleep early, i end up waking up late ... &when i sleep late with a nap or without a nap (doesn't matter still less sleep than sleeping early) i end up waking normal . blah, i guess in order for me to wake up early, i sleep late .


oh my lakers, won today with their lost from yesterday &lamar odom got injured . but he's not seriously injured . hopefully he's back by friday's game, not like that game is big, just saying haha . farmar &walton are still out, due to injuries; hmmm &their both close friends, they planned it so they didn't have to play, just kidding . trevor ariza ♥ had a good game today, season high with 17 points? he had the highest plus points thingys with a +21 (:


i am curious to see Lamar play against Lebron, next monday . cause my brother keeps saying "lamar can be as good as lebron, if he wanted to."

speaking of my brother, he's like never home anymore . a friend was saying how he's the only one home now from his 3 other siblings, one moved out, another in iraq, &the other on the east coast &how he's the only one at home . he was like he's the only child blah . &i realized "heyyy, me tooooo ." not something to be happy about . i mean my sister lives across the street or whatever, but she doesn't stay here long, &my brother is always out, so its basically me, &my parents at home now . at this very moment it's just us three . normally i would never refer to me &my parents as "us three", it usally is me, my brother &sister . but hey things change ...

oh nine so fine

drive better
sooo its O9, im finally driving (: i drove on my own to target on new years eve to get a new camera then today i went to another target to buy a new planner . i drove yesterday but siblings in the car . i think im driving fine, but i know i have to keep on practicing . enough about my driving rants. almost spent the countdown in my sisters car, made it just in time . thank god, rightt ?

school started today, it was a good first day back didn't get homework from my classes, finished She's the Man in english class . we got a new permanent sub in chemistry he's cool this time . yuppp . Secret Life of the American Teenager, Gossip Girl and One Tree Hill all came back today yayuhh, &direct tv doesn't overlap any of the three . just wait till Chuck comes back .

last blog of O8

since tomorrow is new years eve, im pretty sure this is my last blog for the year . this year has been a tough one, i had the worst badminton season i've ever had this year, boys were actually a factor, we actually moved, homework took up most of my time, i applied to colleges this year, i grew my relationship with god &a whole lot more . this year has been a good one although i must say im looking forward to this upcoming one . because its the year everyone in my grade has been cheering for, for four years.

im on break i have 6 days left, i hope i can get 1000 more words for my extended by the time school starts . i finally got insurance, i drove yesterday but my mom wont let me drive alone, i needed my sister in the car -__-'' . rocker theme this year, i need my inspiration


my dog (:

winter coats

a four day weekend, thanksgiving, wedding &a laker game was a good way to end the month of november . thanksgiving was cool, although im still on a diet haha i didn't eat much but i ate, im proud of my resistance (: i stayed home on black friday &i cried i was home alone, got time to myself . the wedding was fun, i enjoyed it . laker game, they won against the raptors no surprise we're now 14-1 . im happy there's a back to back game this week, so i don't have to wait the next day after the laker game on tueday . but i dont want the lakers to sacrifice their energy just to keep their fans happy, just because we want to see them more often . you know ?

yay college application season is OVERRRRR, well for me anyways . i hope i get into UCI &csulb . UCSD, is a longg one for me but we'll see . im getting distracted by my hair again, i need to get my priorities straight .

so i feel like my ends are dead, since i curled my hair for the wedding &it didn't end up the way i wanted them to, &i think i burned my ends, now they don't feel as healthy as before, well they feel more damaged than before . im off to watch laker videos (:
