    Late 1990's.

    Geez. Take a look at that year. 1990. That's a heckuva long time ago.Nearly 20 years now. What was life like back then? I'm talking about life when I was around the age of 8 years old. That was an amazing life. Although I knew what my parent's love was, I didn't know what a girl's love was. Oh, that was a bliss.

    Why did I have to develop the addiction for a girl's love? I lust it; I desire it. I don't know, I'm starting to feel a little empty. I sit alone at work without anyone to really talk to. Sometimes, I wish I had just a companion who'd want to hang out with me there. Anyone.

    For hours, the store is quiet. Not a lot of customers during this hour. I sit down and reminisce back at my life in the late 1990's. I remembered how much I enjoyed it. Elementary School was so much fun. I don't know how I survived it! How did I learn so much? Going home to enjoy hanging out with the neighborhood friends.. Discovering new parts of town and running through the forests. Following along side the river, we discovered different parts of the "world" we could only grasp.

    Oh my. Only then, I knew what my parent's love was. Now that I'm older, I refused to acknowledge it. But here I am now, without love at all. What is love? What was love like?

    When I was around hte ages of 7 or 8, life was really adventurous. My brother and I would hang around our neighborhood just looking for something to do. Sometimes, we'd go hang around these wooden forts we made as kids. We found great forest location spots to build them; so we did. Oh man, I guess I knew several of them. We've ventured around this small lake of water to discover new neighborhoods. Oh, how the world was so big. I don't think I understood how large the world was. But there was so much to discover as a child.

    Oh man, the life at school. The life where nobody had to be cool. You were you, and you had friends. Nobody cared that I was Asian. Nobody cared if the other kids were black. We were an embracing community. We feared nobody and held no prejudices against other kids for any reason. We knew no stereotype and all we knew was fun. We were kids. All we wanted was that fun. We grow up in life struggling, trying to have a little bit of that fun again. But some of us grow up differently.

    Back then, my brother and I would stay up late at night with a dim light on playing with stuffed animals. We'd roleplay with them, giving them names and character personalities. Oh man, we had our "main" characters. I'm sure there were the kinds of guy we wanted to be when we grew up. I wish I knew how I depicted those characters back then. Yeah, we'd have a bunch of stuffed animals we collected, bought, or earned. We'd make them minor characters too. We had so many nights of these dramas.

    We had a TV, but we didn't really watch it except for the weekends. We were those who had antennea TV stations. That meant that for every Saturday morning, there were cartoon shows for us to watch. They were so cool. What kind of stuff did we watch? Oh man, Doug, Pepper Ann, Arthur, and those other shows. I even remember as far back as seein Ren and Stimpy on TV, but I never saw it again a little while after. Oh yeah. The guy's stuff. Dragon Ball Z. That was on TV too. That was some of the most amazing stuff I've ever seen in my life. Of course, they showed Sailor Moon too, but that wasn't our thing. No. All that kung-fu fighting and stuff. Yeah, that was mad cool.

    I remember 3rd and 4th grade. That was awesome. I was considered a "gifted child". Back then, that meant you were smart stuff. Really smart stuff. Yeah, I was in that club. We had intense lectures and stuff, specifically for mathematical material. Us? We were top kids in math. Multiplication tests? Got them in record times. Yeah. Us kids were so pro. I forget who they were. I know I was in it. Of course. Troy Clites. I think Rebecca Felner was in it too. I wonder if Philip was in it too..? I think there was more kids, but I don't remember them.. Bleh. Oh yeah, I think Hersh Shah was with us too! Haha. And Allison Cox, I think I knew her too. That was a crazy time. We were geniuses.

    Vacation was so cool too. We'd travel down to Florida, where my dad's family lived. I had older cousins too. They were so cool. Like, personal icons to know. Yeah. Mad cool. I don't think we ever grasped the idea of how far we even travelled to Florida. They were almost 20 hour road trips too! Crazy.

    But even back at home in Cary, my family would take us around town too. They were pretty much a newly wedded couple too. Oh man, I'm sure they loved their life. The Crabtree Valley Mall was so nice. So cool. But I felt like the Cary Towne Centre was so much cooler. It was more of a homely mall. Natural Wonders was an awesome store. They had so much archaelogical items in the store. Stones, gems, minerals, carvings, and so much other stuff. They were just trinkets of all cultures from around the world in that store. Oh man. That was awesome.

    I remember the field trips we used to have too. They were cool places. Some of my teachers took us to amazing places. One teacher took us to the Science Museums. Oh yeah, my dad used to take me to the Smithsonian museum too. That was freaking awesome. I really wanna go back there someday. That was a blast. Oh, nostalgia. It's a verb happening to me everyday now.

    I guess these experiences made me the curious type. I've seen teachers who sparked curiousity in kids. For instance, I think my 1st grade elementary teacher grew Acorn seeds in a jar, totally based on a self-contained ecosystem. We grew on never knowing what ever happened to those sprouts. Oh, she was a nice lady.

    Ahh... so much to think about. I think I'll go lay down somewhere trying to imagine the excitements of the future. Maybe I'll think about the good times in life right now. Regret nothing. That's what R.Ho said. Hehe, yeah. That's something to keep in mind. We learn from everything we do. That's cool.

    Partly Cloudy with a Chance of Rain

    So the thrills of 2009 is so much. I can't seem to handle it, I don't know. I'm at work today and it's been stressful. It's felt like everyone's against me all of a sudden. My mom called today. I was happy. I miss my parents. Really. I do.

    I just want to relax again. It's another month and some before school starts up again. I dunno how that will turn out. I'm going to have to do Physics 1, 2, and Chemistry before I graduate to be a Physics pre-major. Calc 3.. Hmm.. School's going to be very stressful for 2009. I hope I do very well. I'm going to try my hardest to study the material.

    And my brother is going to go away to Orlando for school. I can't wait to go. Man, that's going to be awesome..

    Jeez, and for some parts of my life, I'm starting to feel a little more alone. I've been hanging out with a lot with some kids too. They've been sleeping over too. It's cool and all, we're close and good friends, but I know that I'm not that close with them. To be wanted makes a person feel great. But lately, I've been feeling like no one really cares if I'm around.

    It's my brother Hai and Ho are closer to. I'm just the fourth leg who's just a friend because I'm my brother's brother. I come out to work, but I go alone. No one really comes out or anything. It's not often I get invited anywhere either. Ai-yai-yai.

    Not to mention, my friends have a girl of their own. It doesn't bother me. I don't think it does.. But my feelings have been fluctuating lately. Sometimes I'm high on life and I don't care about it. I'm happy. And then there are times I wish I just had somebody to connect with. Somebody to just hang to. I mean, I'm strong enough to be alone, but ugh.. I don't know. I don't how to express it. I know how to fix it, but it's too hard. I'm so confused.

    Sometimes I think it's because of who I am. Am I too much of a joker? Can people not take me seriously? It's a struggle to be the better person in life. How can I be a better person?

    I just feel so.. incomplete. :(

    I've got three wishes. Peace, Love, and Happiness. That's what's up.

    Don't Stop 'til You Get Enough

    I guess they'll be words to live by.



    Rest in peace, Michael Jackson.. [August 29, 1958 – June 25, 2009]



    While working at the store, I informed a customer about Michael Jackson's death. She replied, "It was about time!" I was so upset, I charged her extra for her groceries. NOBODY HATES MICHAEL JACKSON. NOBODY.

    Hello Summer

    Finally, my summer college classes are over! I took three courses this semester and I received a pretty decent grades this semester and I'm proud of myself!

    AMH2010 - B - [American History before 1865]
    ANT2000 - A - [Anthropology]
    MUT1001 - A - [Music Fundamentals]

    Mmm.. Finally, all that school stress is out. Now I can't wait for the rest of my summer plans! I still can't find my camera either. :[ And it's going to be a little less than two weeks until my parents come back home. Honestly, it's been a blast, but a strange one. It's almost as if I'm living the most laid back lifestyle for just a quick moment. I'll never forget it.

    Oh yeah, my sickness has seemed to gone away. :D

    Also, I've been dying to play music with people lately.. Ahh. I hope I can finally play a show sometime in the future. I'm looking into this cello that's on sale, so yeah. It's $450 for one around here, so yeah.. I'll see what's up. I really want one!!

    Space Log #2

    What if..?

    In the near future, a study comes about regarding family generation speeds in parts of the world. According to the newly passed law, all children under the age of 12 and born before the Chinese Lunar New Years of 2012 will be given the title, "Generation 0." All the children born on and after Chinese Lunar New Years of 2012 will be given the title, "Generation 1."

    For each year passed, they will be given a new type of symbol to represent their rank of generation. The oldest being the Rat and the youngest being the Pig.

    And when the Year of the Pig has passed, a new "Generation 2." will be given. For each subsequent 12 years, generation values will increase. Oh wait, that's the Chinese Zodiac.. -__-;;

    Well, with this information about how we could group people based on the recorded Chinese Lunar New Years, we could understand population speeds in different parts of the world! It's easy, just overlap layers of recorded populations in relation to generations. Genius!

    Hmm..

    Space Log #1

    IF I ever were to submit an idea to NASA, I think it'd be something a little like this..

    I have this a question regarding the earth's shape along the equator of the Sun? Does it wobble? Is it elliptical? Keep in mind, I'd want to be measuring the closest point on Earth to Sol. That means it will have a sine wave effect on the changes of the two Tropics. I would also like to mention the moon has its own pull on Earth as well. Surely that effects the tide as well. Arr. Oh no! Perhaps I'd have to do it in 3-D. Write 3-D script models to program the details.. Whack.

    Or maybe I should make a movie.

    A satirical movie of George Washington. Perhaps a short where it's modern day life where a kid gets sent back in time. To show that it's in modern day life, the guy has a video recording of his teacher's lectures. So as he watches the lectures to best know George Washington, the boy eventually finds out that George Washington wasn't really all cut out to be. Supposedly history exaggerates him a bit to much of a hero status. Oh man, it'd be a great comedy and historical film. Hey, at least it'd be educational. Lol.

    A what about a futuristic movie? Perhaps a lot of companies will put into this movie. Just showing a life style of a young boy's life. The year begins a little into our future. The movie is divided in segments of his life. And in each of those segments, they will be more technologically advanced than ours. It just shows how in each segments, how he lives his life, subsequently, differs from the one before. Some things are the same, some things change. Life goes on. Oh, that'd be cool for an I-MAX theatre film.

    Maybe if I have free time in the future, I'll write out a script for these films. Dialogue, Descriptions, then Prior info.. and whatever else. I'll improvise. Well.. it's sleepy time now. 99 ^___^

    Alone Again

    It has been almost two weeks now. I've been taking care of myself at home and I'm doing pretty well. Strangely enough, I've fallen under a sort of sickness. I've been coughing so much and stuff. But ever since my parents left, we've had people coming over every night. It's crazy fun.

    It's crazy too. I've just finished one of my summer classes. I stayed up all night to finish papers and such, and I got a B in the class. Honestly, I'm not satisfied, but I can live with it. I didn't do much anyways, so I deserve it. But the crazy thing is the fact that I've suddenly felt the need to express myself. I've really wanted to play the Cello or the Piano, but oh man.. I really would rather play the Cello.

    Also, it's weird, but I think I suddenly want to study Physics just for fun. So I can understand it and get an early understanding of it before I take Physics again. If I could become self-motivated, I could possibly learn more than I can imagine. Oh man, what an interesting thought..

    Oh yeah, and my drawing powers seemed to have disappeared. I can't seem to draw anything anymore.. It's weird. :(

    Hello Vietnam

    It was a Sunday morning at roughly 4:30 AM. A knock beats on our doors and we awoke. My father had awoken my brother and I to say goodbye to Ba Noi. Today was the day my parents were flying to Viet Nam for a month. Along with them, my father was taking Ba Noi back home. Once arrived, she won't be coming back. I readily awoke and walked diligently down the hallway. I opened the front doors of my small Floridian home and walked outside to see my grandmother. There she was, a frail, old lady. Of course, there was my Uncle, whom had driven Ba Noi to my house. He was to take my parents and Ba Noi to the airport. I saw my dad, we said some things.

    When my parents were outside, I said goodbye to my parents. I told my mom I loved her. And I told my dad I loved him. I said goodbye to my grandma. I didn't say I loved her because I don't know how, but I don't think the situation didn't deem it necessary. We grew up never saying it to her. It's just something we didn't do. I don't know if she knows, but we express it to her though. Through visits, hugs, and listening. I gave her a hug before she left too. As we finished parting ways, I went inside. It was now 4:45 AM.

    I went inside, and laid down for a bit. After I was sure they were gone, I coughed. An hour and fifteen minutes after my parents left, I was lying in bed when I suddenly notice it. My parents are truly gone. They won't be back for another month. Even though things won't be much different even without them around, I still felt odd. I really miss my parents. I guess it's the attachment to them. Love for my parents. It's interesting. Unique. It's a warm and comfy feeling. Familiar to a feeling that you enjoy when you feel like you're cool.

    When I cough, I think of the strangest things following afterwards. I sometimes think of things in different perspectives I've never thought of before. It's strange. And yet I am able to do whatever I want, I never bother to write it down somewhere. But lucky me today, I caught myself blogging! Hehe.. :]

    Man, today, I woke up and drove to Brad's to pick up some cough medicine. The gate guard asked my why I was visiting my friend, "A party?"

    "No," I told her. "I'm visiting my friend before I go off to school.

    "Oh, for college? What school?"

    "University of Central Florida," I answered.

    "Oh, where's it at?"

    "Orlando."

    "Oh okay, have fun now."

    "Okay, bye ma'am." Finally, she stopped asking questiongs. And I drove off. I lied to her. Brad wasn't going anywhere for school. Neither was I. I was only there to pick up the cough medicine for this terrible cough ache I've got. Brad's stuff does cures.

    I went home and coughed three times. Around the third time, I vomited out pure mucus. It was gross. Luckily, I was in the garage. I decided I should stop because I was passing my limit. Cough anymore, vomit a lung. I went inside to lay down, and I fell asleep until Viet came home. Apparently Hai was with him too. Later Richard came over too. Apparently we're all sick with something.

    Damn. It's 6:45 AM and I've got work to do today. Also gotta study tonight. Ugh. I bet I'm going to cough later tonight too.. I've been coughing too much. :(

    High Hopes

    For the past month, I've been schooling with much ease. I'm making pretty decent grades due to studying. I've been hanging out a lot too. For the first time in my life, I've attended a concert. The line up consisted of The Sounds, Paramore, and No Doubt. They were amazing shows to feature female lead singers the whole time.



    June 7th, my parents will be leaving for Vietnam before I even wake up. For the entire month, I'll be home alone with my brother. From Mondays to Thursdays, I'll be at school until I'm let out. Then the times I'm not schooling, I've gotta work until 8 PM every night. Even on Fridays and Saturdays. For Sunday, I work til 6 PM. Crazy, I know.

    It's gonna be different without them being home. I hope things are going to be alright. As of now, I'm having high hopes for the future. Sometime in July, I hope to fly to North Carolina to meet my cousins again. It'll be majorly fun. I also am anticipating on flying to California to attend the Basilmarket Convention. I really hope my parents would let me go. Oh man, there are so many things I wanna do.

    So I've decided to set up my goals to finish by 2012. You know, before the world ends or something.. hahahaha.. Jk. So I'll also be adding my plans and goals to this thing. Bolded items are certain, and the rest are just high hopes.
    • Fly to North Carolina (July '09)
    • Vans Warped Tour (July 27, 2009) *possible date conflict
    • Fly to California (August '09)
    • Go to Blink-182 with Fall Out Boy Concert (September 26, 2009)
    • Fly to North Carolina (December '09)
    • Visit Universal's "Islands of Adventure"
    • Road trip to New York.
    • Visit South of the Border (NC/SC border)
    • Go camping in the mountains of North Carolina.
    • Fly to Vietnam.
    • Visit China, HK, Thailand, Korea, or Japan.
    • Fly to Europe.
    Wow, I'm planning on big things in 2009. I don't know what else I'd like to do.. rofl. So much to do, so little time. I'd also like to meet a significant other by then too. :( For now, I've got two people in mind, both names coincidentally starting with a P. But knowing me, that won't work. :|



    On a different note, I'd like to try to remember my dreams. Remembering them are so rare these days. Last night, I had a dream of something pertaining to fighting a dinosaur by throwing a comb at it like a boomerang.. Whack. I should try to enter the details right when I wake up or something.. haha.

    Beach Bum

    On Thursday, I woke up and probably did some things. It was awhile back, so I don't recall too well. My Calculus II class was canceled, so I wasn't too sure about going to English. I initially wanted to leave the beach at 4:30 PM and make it to class on time. However, that wasn't the case and I eventually skipped it altogether.

    Stephanie wanted me to pick her up from her school, Dreyfoos. From there, I took Stephanie to Alfred's school for Stephanie to get some papers. Then we went back to Dreyfoos for Stephanie to drop off the papers. From there, I picked up Paula and Alexandria. We then left to go to Alexandria's house for her to change into her swim suit. On the way to the Palm Beach beach, Paula had to undress to change into something, I don't know. I promised not to look, and I didn't. Well, I guess I had a naked girl in the car and I didn't see any of it 'cause I was
    driving. FML.. LOL.

    We all then arrived at the beach. There was quite a group there, really. It was pretty gnarly.. haha! The waters were very cold. I got a terrible headache from it.. rofl. The three guys and I were belly surfing the stubby waves. It was mad fun when we rode all the way to shore with just our bodies. We got out of it after awhile because it was deathly cold. However, when we got on the shore, we were reunited with the rest of the crew. There were a lot of people there actually.. Stephanie, Mary, Karen, Andrea, Paula, Alexandria, Jonah, Marc, Arbill, Alfred, Brandon, and perhaps some others.. lol. I don't remember. We buried Marc into the sand and made a mermaid out of him. :] But not too long after, we parted ways because Stephanie had to go home early. I was the one who took her there, but her mom demanded that Stephanie go back home. I didn't mind because I already had a blast. So in the car came with Stephanie, Paula, Alexandria, and myself. I had to drop off Alexandria back at her house, but Paula was going back to Stephanie's house anyways.. lol.

    On Friday night or Saturday morning at 2:00 AM, I called up Tom to go to Walmart with me. The point was to go and buy a new dresser for my room. I need a place to put my clothes.. There, we hung out and ate some McDonald's. One of the workers there told me I looked like Eric from Twilight.. Lol. You know, that Asian kid? Haha.. He's played by the actor, Justin Chon, if I remember correctly.. LOL. Then I dropped Tom off, headed home, and went to sleep.

    For the day of Saturday, I called up Karen asking her if she wanted to go to the Boynton Beach Mall. She agreed and I went to go pick her up. From there, I bought a belt and some shoes. When Karen went into Victoria's Secret, I didn't really wanna hang outside the store because that would've been boring, so I went in with her. When she was done, we left the store and we were approached by this guy.

    He said, "Wait!" Unknowingly, I thought he was getting Karen's attention, so I called for her to stop. She turned around and the guy asked Karen, "Is he gay?" He was pointing towards me.
    "Does he look gay?" Karen asked in disbelief.
    "I wasn't sure. He looks fashionable and dressed kinda fancy.."
    That's when I said, "Dude, look at me, there's no way. Even the way I talk."
    "I'm sorry. I didn't know. I just wanted to ask."
    I was like, "Haha, okay.. But I'm not gay.." So then we walked away from the scene and I asked Karen, "How do I seem gay?"
    "Maybe it's the way you walk," she said.
    "Not a chance," I told her. It was a really awkward situation.. lol.. But it was most definitely hilarious. :B I just wonder what would've happened if I said I was gay.. LOL. Psycheeeeeee. :[

    Because Karen had to go to work at 5:00 PM, we left and I dropped her off at her work place. I then proceeded to the Wellington Green Mall and bought some more belts and some nice shirts there. I also ran into a bunch of PBCHS kids I knew. It was awkward seeing Brandyn again. He didn't talk much or anything. Same with Julianna too. Ben and Johnny where lively as ever. Marie and her sister was there too.. lol. But they all started leaving, I left. I headed home and got ready to go to Triston's house.

    When I got to Triston's house, I ran into his girlfriend there and we had a few jokes in the room. But not too long after, Samantha left to go back home.. haha. Being bored there, I decided to do a BlogTV with Alysa. That was pretty fun. We did some random things there like.. dance to Caramelldansen or something. We also went through the kitchen for some food and ate some chicken. That was fun. We had this guy, HolyMythos, play some songs throughout the night.. lol. After awhile around 5 AM, I showed Alysa some cool songs from my music library. When Alysa fell asleep, I thought I should go to sleep too.. Not to mention I was mad tired.. So I just walked into Triston's room and fell asleep. Supposedly, Triston didn't even sleep at all.. o__o;;

    We woke up around 10:30 AM, of Sunday, to the banging of drums from the game Rock Band. Of course, when I went to go check, it was Triston. Alexis, Alysa, and I tried to play, but we failed horribly at every song. I guess I'm not a Guitar Hero after all. :[ But lol, it got mad hot, so we jumped into the pool for a short bit, but that was too cold too.. So we just went back inside. After some time, it was getting pretty late and I had to head home.

    There, I met my Grandmother who happened to be there. Apparently, we were throwing a small party for her and she was to spend a few days with us. My grandmother can't really see anymore. When I approached her, she asked me who I was. I tried to play a joke on her and told her I was Viet. She didn't believe me because of my teeth. According to the lady, I have big teeth.. lol. As the night progressed, I went to sleep. I fell asleep before the party even ended because I was so tired for some reason.

    Monday morning came around and I woke awefully early. 8:00 AM to be exact. That was quite a bit out of the norm. After some time, I left the house around 11:30 AM to get to PBCC to hang out with some friends for a little bit. I asked them if they wanted to go Ice Skating, but they said no. We were having class at 3:30 PM, but I was going to skip it to go Ice Skating with Silvia. As 12:30 PM rolls around, I leave campus and head towards the place. Apparently, the ice rink is at Lighthouse Point, which is beyond Boca Raton and Deerfield Beach. I got lost several times, but I eventually found it. There, I skated with Silvia. I had met Silvia unexpectedly when I went to Stephanie's piano recital. We talked for a little bit and Silvia ended up inviting me to go ice skating.

    Anyways, I was introduced to Silvia's friends and I fit in pretty quickly. I ice skated pretty well, but Silvia held her hand to mine in case I fell. :B Although, when I fell, she was there to see if was okay. ≡^o^≡

    Her little brother was cute, but he was mad greedy.. lol. He wanted everything, rofl. Even me as a brother! Haha~ But yes, skating was pretty fun, although I fell twice.. the second time pretty badly. I actually got bruised from it. But at 4:00 PM, the rink closed and everyone left. I said goodbye to Silvia and made my way back to school to hang out a little bit. I arrived at 5:15 PM, right when class was supposed to end. I went to the library to hopefully meet up with my friends. There, I found that nobody was there but Ernie. I asked where they had gone, and he told me class was canceled, so they all went home. What a lucky day, indeed! I took a gamble and it was canceled. I made something out of my day and went ice skating. :D

    So today, I went to Calculus class and got my test back. 45/80.. which is quite horrible.. But apparently, our professor is giving out retakes!! :D After Calculus class, I headed home and got ready to go to the beach. At 2:00 PM, I went to go pick up Stephanie and we went on our way to the beach. On the way, I explained how I hadn't eaten anything prior, so we stopped by McDonald's to get our food. Strangely, the teller was pretty quick about the whole thing. I never had a smoother conversation.. Lol!

    But when Stephanie and I arrived at the beach, we were kinda lost because we didn't know where our friends set up their spot on the beach. After several minutes of walking around, we found them. I then ran into the water and happened to meet Jared there.. Patricia's ex-boyfriend.. Lol! (I would know why that's funny..). I brought my boogie board this time, so I was hoping it wasn't so bad. The waves were pretty dull and were doubled together a lot, so there weren't many good breaking waves to ride on. Regardless, it was pretty fun. We found a noose in the water.. Apparently, it looked like it had been in the water for quite some time.. o__O;;

    But suddenly, the storm picks up and thunder crackles across sky. Life gaurds scream at everybody to leave the beach. So we did. Apparently, Mary and Karen had just arrived on the scene. Because the beach was being evacuated, they left too. The "fall back" plan was to meet up at Regals to watch a movie. As for me, I had to drop off Stephanie at her desired location and make it to class in time. We got stuck out in City Place for a good half hour. When we were free, I realized it was 4:30 PM. My English Composition class starts at 5:00 PM.. Lol. On the way towards Regal, I saw Mary's car behind me, so I signalled them to stop at Burger King and pick up Stephanie. It worked out amazingly and when I had pulled out of Burger King, Military Trail was the next streetlight beyond the one Burger King was on.

    In disbelief I made it back to PBCC just in time with 15 minutes to spare. It was 4:45 PM and I went to the Library to say hello to my friends. When I got to class, we ended up watching "A Midnight Summer's Dream," which I had already watched in 10th grade, but it was cool to watch it again anyways. It's actually quite humorous.

    When class was over, I headed back to the library to see my friends playing cards. I watched for a little while until everyone had to go. It was 7:30 PM when we all got up. I had to drive to my parent's store because my dad had no ride home. Apparently, my mom drove home to hang out with her friends and took the car with her. Hanging around at the store, I ate a quick bowl of Pho. When all the customers left, we closed the store and headed home.

    Around nighttime, I picked up the phone and called up Silvia to talk to at 11:30 PM. Amazingly, she was still awake. I eventually talked to her for two hours and I made her laugh many times. I think that's great. :] Supposedly, she's traveling with part of her family around Florida visiting places. After two sensational hours of talk, her batteries screamed, "DYING!" and we said our partings and hung up. Yeah, it's been a good night. :]]

    Actually, the entire month has been so full of things to do. I've been going everywhere and doing so many things, it's been so hard to keep up with anything online anymore. I think I'm beginning to enjoy the last moments of my teenage years. It's hard to believe that I'll be turning 19 soon.. When I hit 20, I don't think I can believe it then..

    Life.. :]]

    The Hero When She Calls

    So today was a general day. I woke up to find my torrents done downloading. I had downloaded "Space Jam" and "Pokémon: The First Movie" overnight. So when I sat up, I watched Space Jam and Pokémon. Space Jam was hilarious and fun to watch, even after all these years. I didn't think it'd be as good, but it still was. I'm amazed, really. As for Pokémon, it was much more of a let down than I used to think it to be. The movie sucked, really.. LOL. But that's not what I thought when I was younger.. But that was probably me being a Pokémon fan. Although now, I see it in a different view and it's kinda horrible.. lol. The movie didn't really have a strong climax and a good resolution. Not very good action either.. Lol.

    So when I'm done watching those movies, I go take a shower. When I get out, some of my friends happened to stop by. We chilled to talk and some. I was debating whether to show up to class or not. We had two tests to do that day, but they're fairly easy. I would've done the tests at home, but I wasn't sure if we were allowed to. Ultimately, I decided to go to class regardless that it was 3:10 PM. Class would begin in 20 minutes! Amazingly, I walked into class three minutes prior to beginning. I finished the tests within the hour, so my friend and I watched parts of "Shinobi: Heart Under Blade" for a little while until class was over.

    Shortly after proceeding to the library, I receive a call from a friend of mine. Karen called to see if I was busy, but I told her I was free. She sounded like she was definitely in distress, so I had to do my best to see what I could do. Apparently, she was left at FAU with nowhere to go, had no ride home, and was late for work. I opted to go pick her up from her school, but I didn't know where it was. Thanks to Google Earth, I managed to find a way to get to her school with ease. Never before had I ever gone that far down Florida by myself. Well, at least for that part of the area. It was also the first time I saw the FAU campus and I must say that it's not too shabby. Although it is a bit far from home..

    But after I picked her up, she spilled her heart out regarding her situation. I heard her out and it's quite sad. I felt bad for her. Although the best thing I could do was listen to her. I don't know how well of a listener I am, but I tried my best to help her out. Well, it was a dispute between Karen and her sister, Mary. Unfortunately, Karen can't drive and Mary refused to take Karen home which derived from a small misunderstanding. But no matter, I was glad to be able to help them out. When I took Karen home, Mary came in a few minutes later and their mom scolded them.

    But I left their house. I called up Mary to see if she wanted to talk, but she declined. From there, I headed towards home which probably took another 20 minutes. Oh God, the sun was glaring on my windshield and I could barely see while driving. But I made it home okay. From there, I just hung around until now..

    I've gotta start my paper soon however.. so I have time for tomorrow. Why? Stephanie asked if I could pick her up from her school. Following that, I'll be picking up Alfred and we'll be headed to the beach to meet up with some other kids apparently. I hope it'll be loads of fun. :D

    But yeah.. -poof-~!!

    Let the Good Times Roll

    Spring break came by relatively fast. I cannot recall what's happened, but rather that everything's been a blue of events. The Saturday after Stephanie's debut, I went to Jaimie's Sweet 16 birthday party. It was sort of fun too. I ended up hanging out with people and stuff. That night, Brandon and I went to Sonics to meet up with Alfred, Mary, and Brian. They all left but Brandon, so we talked for a bit into the night. It was pretty chill.

    On the Wednesday following Spring Break, the 18th, I went to go stay over at Doug's house to study up on Calculus. His place was rather small, but was decent. We were working on problems literally all night without a chance to sleep. That morning, we went to take a stab at the test, and quite frankly, I must say I did a fair job. Perhaps not the best, but I think I did fairly well.. with some room for error. I also dropped my Physics class because I couldn't handle it. It was too much for me. I'm rather glad I did drop it. I wouldn't have been able to hold the grades up for long. Perhaps I'll do it later in the future.

    But after that day, I had skipped my English class to come home to bake Brownies for the Claverias. It was a pretty long process. But when I was done, I made my way to their house to deliver some brownies and a painting for Mary. Apparently, Mary doesn't like Brownies!! Blasphemy.. rofl. Nobody dislikes brownies!! It's impossible! Lol. But Karen definitely ate all of it.. haha. Their mom offered me some rice and potatoes. I ate some and I made their mom laugh some. She asked me if I wanted mashed potatoes, and I replied that if I wanted mashed potatoes, I'd mash the ones I had on the plate.. Lol. Her mom laughed and nudged me.. Haha~

    Some time later during the week, we all decide to meet up to play Volleyball and that was pretty fun. It consisted of Alfred, AJ, Brandon, Mary, Stephanie, Paula, Jonah, Arbill, Brian and some other kids. I hurt my hand towards the end of the day. I let Stephanie drive back to her house as the Filipinos hung around for a little bit. We were trying to decide on where to eat, but then we finally concluded to eat at Steak-n-Shake. That was a fun time too. We were all just talking and making jokes and stuff. It was pretty fun.

    I don't recall when it was either, but Jaimie invited me to the mall to hang out a bit and I went to go. I was introduced to some band members of, "J-Scape", with their intent of recruiting me as their keyboardist. Although I told them how inexperienced at the keys I was, we talked a little bit and I agreed to meet up with them sometime. When Jaimie and the boys left, I ran into Stephanie, Mary, Karen, Andrea, Alfred, and AJ. I followed them around a bit and when they were done looking, they were to leave. Unfortunately, the past few days had been super stormy, so I offered to run into the rain to get into my car. From there, I'd pick them up and drop them next to their car. Man, I was so soaked, but it was rather fun. :D

    Monday was an okay day for school. I saw Regina again, her first time back from her two week vacation in China. She brought some snacks for us to eat, but it wasn't so appealing to me. Sliced Cuttlefish? No thanks.. I left to go home after class finished. There wasn't much for us to do anyways. I actually stopped by my parents' workplace. I told my dad to take off and go work on some home projects as I watched over his position at work. He was glad and left me in charge. I hung around with my mom as we ran the store. That night, my mom stopped by Marshall's and Publix to get get some things.. lol. But yeah, that wasn't so bad.

    And then, we begin with today. Because Tuesday was a break, we had a free day to do whatever. I began the day waking up to Karen's phone call to my phone. She called me up and asked if I could show her how to drive. I agreed to come. I arrived and gave Karen some 'Hershey's Cookies and Creme' and some milkshakes for fun. According to Mary, that's her most favorite snack.. haha. After some time, I let Karen drive around in my car for awhile. She was fairly decent at driving forward, but when we started to get to the reversing part, she was a wreck, rofl. She nearly crashed my car several times, but that was just that.. scary though!

    After we were done, I dropped her off at Matteo's house. We talked for some time and that was pretty rad. After she left the car, I went back to the Claveria's house. I stumbled upon Arbill and Mary just talking at the dinner table eating Chinese food. I pulled up a chair and we talked for some time. It was pretty good jokes and stuff. But Arbill had to go and Mary wanted to go take a nap, so I left to meet up with other kids who had bugged me earlier. I was to go play pool with them, but I was already overlapping schedule with the Filipinos, so I didn't go play pool with them. Rather, I met up with them at "Teddy's Shack" to eat lunch with them. We had some talk and it was a pretty good meal. Ryan and Regina had been there, but they left not too long after arriving there.

    When we were all done eating, I hugged Sisi goodbye and said laters to Bao and Walter, I took Ernie and we went to the mall. There, I bought a shirt from Jimmy'z and we hung around for some time. We talked to the lady at Zen Garden for a bit and I got to know her some more. A sort of unfulfilling life, I guess.. As we left, we ran into Peter, Lenhart, and Jennifer. We tagged along with them for a bit as we talked some. I came across some pretty cool shoes that I'd like to buy. Now that I think about it, I'd like to have $100 to spend and buy some new shoes, a new belt, and perhaps a scarf-like thing. But yeah, that was rather fun indeed. But when Peter and his sisters were leaving, we left as well.

    After dropping off Ernie back at his house, I took a nap and awoke to myself here right now.. haha. But yeah.. it's been a fun filled weekend. Really. :]

    Birthday and the Sleepover

    I stayed up really late on Friday night/Saturday morning and left to go to Wal-Mart to buy some clothes for Stephanie's debut. I called up Tom to hang out with while we went shopping. Several hours later, we leave back to our houses.

    I put away the things and got to sleep. I woke up and got ready immediately after. I then picked up Ben from his house and we hung out at the mall. There, we hung out with Johnny and Jason. There were others with them too. Not too long after, we leave to head out to Stephanie's Debut.

    The drive there was long. We missed the place, but we found a way back with ease. Upon our arrival, Ben and I were marveled at the exquisite place. Because we were hours early, we chilled at the pool and talked some about our lives.

    Hours later, the party starts and we have fun. It was really cool with all of the parts of the debut. They showed a video and stuff. There were dances and I hung out with other people I knew.. mainly those I met from the New Year's party. Of course, the social network circle would remain closely the same.

    I took a lot of pictures with the people I somewhat knew. It was a really enjoyable party. :)

    After the party, Stephanie had invited me to her sleepover, which was a total honor!! It was a few hours into Sunday already.. I drove Ben home, went back to my house to get ready, and then left for Stephanie's house. Since they had no real parking, I parked at Ben's house and walked to Stephanie's.. which wasn't too far away, but more like a 10 minute walk.

    We watched a scary movie, had a pillow fight, and ate rice.. LOL. The scary movie wasn't scary at all to me.. The Strangers. I didn't really take part in the pillow fight, mainly 'cause I didn't want to.. lol. The food was really good too. I enjoyed it. We all somehow stayed up until 8 in the morning. As everyone fell asleep, I was the last to fall at around 8:30 AM or so.

    I slowly began to wake up at around 11:20 when everyone else work up as well. It was pretty funny. We all joked and talked about stuff. Of course, we took a lot of pictures. We ate waffles for breakfast and messed around. Stephanie had to leave for somewhere soon, so we all left in the afternoon.

    When I returned to my house, I just passed out after uploading the pictures from the debut. When I awoke from my nap, here I am now.. haha~!! I am also finishing up on uploading the pictures from the sleepover. Mmmm..

    Also, I'm starting to keep the new girl, Mary, in my mind.. just maybe.. At least I'm no longer plagued. :|

    But yeah.. as for the start of my Spring Break, it's been really  filled so far. Amazingggg. I really wonder if Julianne would come down? :|

    Thursday Night Madness

    After school, I waved goodbye to Sisi at the bus stop. As always, she didn't do anything back. No joke, it really hurt. I drove home not too long after and took a shower to get her off my mind. Thankfully, it did.

    So I drove to Mary's house around 8:30 PM or something and hung around until 11 PM leaving for the Boynton Beach Muvico theater. Mary, Karen, their friend (Kelly), and I waited for the doors to open. The movie was pretty cool. Intense gore and a bit much of sex scenes.. After that, we chilled in the parking lot talking to another friend of theirs.. haha. It was about 3:00 AM when we got out and talked for a good hour.

    After awhile, I noticed my lights were dull. We had the car door open, so I noticed the car light was a little bit weaker than normal. It was only then I realized my car battery was dead. Haha, after hearing that, everything from there fell apart for the funnier part. We wanted to go eat, but now that the car was dead, it was virtually impossible to go do anything. Our cellphones died out, the parking lot was cleared, and it was 4 AM.

    Unfortunately for Mary, she was super tired and fell asleep waiting in the car. She's so cute.. rofl.

    But anyways, with nowhere else to go, we finally got Kelly's dad to come and jumpstart the car. With success, we finally left and I dropped off Mary and Karen at their house. I took a picture with Mary and it turned out nice. :)



    I finally got home around 5:40 AM or something and finally fell asleep around 6:00 AM. Didn't wake up until 2 PM when my brother arrived home. Right from there, I went to get a new car battery from Wal-Mart. After a few minutes, we went to Guitar Center to get my dad two microphone stands for his Karaoke set.. lmfao. But yeah.. After I got home, I fell alseep. Fun day..

    I think last night was a night to remember.. lol.

    A Group of Friends

    So today, the group of us went to Fun Depot for the night. The group consisted of Ryan, Regina, Han Han, Ernie, Sisi, and me. We all went to go ride Go Karts and that was totally rad. We played a few games together and had a blast. DDR never seemed so fun until today. Unfortunately for Regina, she felt sick, so Ryan took her back. According to Regina, it's her last day in America until she returns from her two week vacation in China. Oh well, lol. I must say, I really did enjoy this night, especially playing games with Sisi.

    But you know, I don't know about my feelings anymore. I don't feel anything majorly serious about it anymore, but something inside of me still desires her. I don't know.. I can't help it. For some reason, I can't get over it.. but whateverrssss.. Time will tell. I'll see what happens and go from there. :|

    Anyways.. After we had our time, we all went home and I took Sisi to her house. I actually got through the gate this time.. haha. After dropping off Ernie and arriving home, I went to IM Mary and Karen regarding a video project. I was so late for the project that I drove to their house around 11:30 PM. I hung around and we finally got to recording for a little bit. I helped edited my part, which turned out to be really cool. Karen then went upstairs to lay down.. I suppose. With Mary still there, I showed her the things I did.. haha. I hung around until 3:00 AM in which I said that it was late and I should've gone.. lol.

    So yeah, time passed, and here I am now ready to get into bed. A three hour sleep.. yippee~!! Psyche. D:

    A Lost Friend

    Kassi Ferguson was recently reported missing. She is about 5'6", has brown hair, and brown eyes. She was last seen walking around the outskirts of the mall at 1:30 PM February 28th. Kassi was also with a guy about 5 foot 9 or 10 inches, who has gauges in his ears. She may have also been seen around 4:30 AM March 1st in the Eastwood Housing Development.

    How does she matter to me? She was a high school friend of mine. We used to eat lunch together back when I was in 11th grade. It would really hurt to know a friend is gone.. so I'm gonna do my best to help find her.

    As for today, I basically did nothing. How unproductive. I did laugh hilariously today.. out of weirdness.. lol.

    [Edit] She's been found! :D

    False Invitation

    They never called me to go to the mall with them. I even sent a text and two phone calls, and they were all ignored. I spent the whole day loafing around and fell asleep miserable. I woke up and here I am now.. Nothing much of accomplishment for today.. :|

    Julianne said she might come down to FL for Spring Break. She said she's going to hang out with her friend on Friday, the day before her friend moves away for good. Whether or not Julianne will come down, I don't know.. :|

    But still.. I can't get Sisi out of my mind. I've been on /b/ and these Depression Dog threads hit me every freakin' time. Bawww. :|
