I like talking to Byron and Amy afterschool about random things like Desperate Housewives and possums. We have interesting discussions.
I like English class. Today I was Polonius from Hamlet. People wanted me to be him because he's a short old man, and apparently I fit the role quite well. I'm going to die tomorrow when Hamlet (Efrem) kills me.
I like tutoring. Yesterday I had my first tutoring session with this sophomore named Frank. I'm tutoring in Algebra 2 honors so far, but I also have a girl who needs help in algebra 2, and a guy who needs help in english 2 honors. It's a very rewarding feeling when I help someone understand a concept in math, and I really hope the tutoring session helped Frank.
I am very excited about Dancing With The Staff... it's probably the first "fun" school-related activity I'm going to this year (football game didn't really count because it wasn't that great), and I'm SO glad that the math test was moved to Friday.
I need new clothes. And shoes. I've been wearing my brown polka dot flip flops like every single day!! I want to shop.
I miss summer.

intuition
It's been forever since I updated this blog. Forgive me! I've been neglecting this for so long because either I'm too busy to write or I don't know what to say. Well... now I'm here, it's almost 11, I'm listening to Intuition by Feist, and I miss summer. I remember the great ole' days of summer vacation.. staying up past 12, chatting, reading books I WANT to read, and having no particular worries or anxiety. Now everything is just BLAH. Senior year isn't very great; in fact, ever since sophomore year I feel like everything's been going downhill.. I've become closer with some people, but I'm feeling as if I'm also losing some of my friends too. Oh well. SIGh. The school year is almost 1/4 over, and it feels like it hasn't even really started... the "best year" of our high school career isn't so great.. :\
So there's really not much to say except I submitted by Stanford application on Oct 14, 1 day before the art supplement deadline, and now I'm sooo anxious and can't wait until December. ACTUALLY, I can because it might not even be good news and I don't want to be disappointed. So I'll just say I can't wait til' winter break because nothing can make me upset during Christmas time.
What else...? I have a very boring life. Besides school, I have nothing to talk about. There's NOTHING. NADA. I wish I could be like my sister, who has something interesting to say every single day. What's there to say for me?? I took SAT II Math and Bio today, and hopefully I'll never have to touch those Princeton Review/Baron's review books again. I still have SAT I in December, but now I'm contemplating whether or not to even take it. I already signed up, so I might as well take it, but seriously. I don't know if a few more points is really going to affect my chances of getting in. Maybe if I get 2300+, but really what's the difference between 2220 and 2250? One or two problems? Meh. I guess I can waste another Saturday...
LDI is coming up (next weekend) and to tell you the truth, I'm not very excited. I am rooming with sophomores... however cool they are, I don't know how well I'll fit with their group. I wish my friends were going, but NOO they're going to Cal Tech for Siemens.. which brings me to another topic to talk about... EVERYONE WHO WORKED W/ DR. K ARE SIEMENS REGIONAL FINALISTS!! everyone except me, that is! WoOotttt. no, i'm really happy for them but it's kinda saddening to be excluded from it. o well i think we're still doing something else in January and I can be involved:)
Roar. what else is there to say? Ok random thoughts... I have to finish a 1000 page book by Tuesday (Brothers Karamazov by Dostoevsky), and I'm only on page 60:(. I'm looking forward to Dancing with the Staff this Wednesday. Should I go to the Harvard admissions session in Irvine on Tuesday? T_T I want to, so I can learn more about the school, but I might be busy.. and I don't think I can get in anyways. I love art class, especially sitting outside painting my naked lady, feeling the calm breeze going through the strands of my hair..it's very relaxing and I'll be sad when it's time to go inside because of the rain. I also feel very bad about neglecting Mr. Sketchbook.. I feel an urge to start anew, especially because it already fell apart. >< I should really pay attention in econ more... and stats for that matter.. i failed the last test. I need to participate more in English and participate at least once in philosophy. I am going to tutor three people starting next week, but two of them haven't even replied yet><. I'm excited about AEP on Monday, but I hope people actually show up!! OKAY i'm outta here.
CIAO!

pain and high school
I didn't go to CSUF today. Sorry :( I stayed up til midnight yesterday typing up that law suit for my uncle... and when I woke up today, my entire body was exhausted and in pain. I still feel that way. My neck feels sore (I keep asking my sister and mom for massages, lol), my head hurts, and my back feels weird too. It sucks because my condition is making me incredibly lazy. BUT, I took a Math IIC practice test today. And made a card for Vicky's birthday... but other than that... nothing.
Well, nothing productive at least. I'll tell you what I DID do today, and it really embarrasses me. Haha I watched tons of TV. First, I watched Ice Princess. I like that movie a lot. Casey's character is inspirational. She turned down Harvard for iceskating! Well, that's not all. My sister and I then watched Newport Harbor: The REAL OC. I know. GASPS. I hate those kinds of reality shows, but we were really bored. But you know what? Those kinds of shows are somewhat addicting. Because before we knew it, we started watching more Newport Harbor online, and then the Hills and Laguna Beach Season 1 on the computer in the afternoon. OMG.. we are so woo liao. The girls are all like obsessed with guys, drama, spending money, etc. etc. But it's still fun to watch them make a fool of themselves.
Tonight while working on some math problems, I watched Never Been Kissed for like the ... fifth time or so. Yes I know, I'm a sad little girl. But yeah, it made me think a lot. About cliques and highschool.. especially after watching Laguna Beach and those kinds of shows, where it's obvious that these people are the so-called "popular" kids at their school. And it made me think... when exactly does popularity start? How does one become popular? Are the cliques really distinct, even at Troy?
I think I noticed the beginnings of popularity ever since like 2nd grade, but I don't think it really began until like 5th or 6th grade. I liked it when I was in Eastside, and popularity didn't really exist. Everyone was friends with everyone. Then all of the sudden middle school came, and people began changing. They started to wear makeup, dress real slutty-ish, and began dating. What the freak. I don't get them. Why would people want to grow up so fast? Nowadays, I see little tweens that look older than me. I freak out when I see the Bratz dolls. This generation.... *sighs*. We grew up too fast.
I'm not saying that all popular people are like that. Some are actually really genuine, nice people. My best friend from elementary school, whom I still talk to, is popular but not in "that" way, you know? She's senior class president at Canyon this year. They're popular because they are friendly to everyone.
Who am I talking about then? I'm talking about the kids like those I see on Laguna Beach. The ones who only care about appearances and guys. They just seem very fake and shallow. Well actually I take that back... not all of them are. But I'm talking about ones like Kristen. And that Kendra girl from season 3. The rest are just plain annoying and drama queens. LC, for example, is okay but a drama queen. Chrissy from newport harbor is okay, but she's annoying.
You know what I noticed though? I've been sheltered. Either that, or Troy isn't your typical high school. But I think it's the former. I know that we have the "popular crowds", the ones that hang out near the quad area during breaks, but they don't seem as bad as these Laguna Beach kids, or heck even the popular people at El Rancho. But I don't know... maybe it's because it's because I'm in IB and Troy Tech. I have like no classes with these people. At El Rancho and Canyon Rim, I was in a lot of classes with them. Now, I am surrounded by a lot of motivated people. They care about learning, even if they don't like to show it.
And then I started thinking about college. Why exactly do I want to go to a private school like Stanford or the Ivy leagues? Because I know that, even though these cliques will still exist, they won't be as bad as ones at like, the UCs or Cal States. I want to be surrounded by these brilliant thinkers, not slackers who ask dumb questions and just don't care. It's true... the environment you are at really REALLY influences the way you work. Or, at least for me.
Wow. This post sounds really judgmental.. but, that's just some of my opinions. :P I'm off to bed now!!

Three more days
AHHH!! Three more days til school starts again. I'm sad, nervous, but kinda excited too. I get to see all my lovely friends again :). Hopefully, I'll have lots of classes with them, I'll get the teachers I want, and I won't be TOOO stressed. I'm kind of worried. Am I stretching myself too thin? Am I doing too much? I have FBLA (vice president duties.. it'll take a LOT of my time), AEP (this will take up most of my after school time), media tech (webdesign.. clubs), club websites, and maybe Troy website. And then I applied to be western region membership committee for FBLA, which if I get it, will take up lots of time. But it's not like I can back out now. Okay, sorry. I sound like a nerd :(
Well, I got back from northern cali last week. It was a nice, relaxing vacation like what I said in my xanga. I liked Stanford, a lot. I had a good time at Carmel, Monterey (aquarium was cool), Santa Barbara, and lots of other places along the coast. I also ate delicious food (Bubba Gumps.. yum! and mediterranean food), hung out with Rekha, and shopped (but bought nothing but a dress from ROSS). It was nice and short, and a good way to end the summer.
As for school starting, I still have to finish up some last minute work, like studying for SAT II Bio (take practice tests) and Math IIC. I am scared about the ACT; the McGraw Hill book is so stupid!! I keep on missing stupid things. HMPH. At least I have my IB Essay done with! Yeah! Almost 3000 words! Hmm... Okay, I'm bored and I don't know what else to say. I guess I'll update more after school starts.

Can I make it?
It's 11:43 right now, and I want to try to post this entry up by midnight so that it doesn't say that I wrote this on the 15th. Anyways, it's freaking hot upstairs right now, but my parents are cheapos and I'm trying to be friendly to the environment, so for now I'll just have to bear with this humid weather. I haven't really been doing much lately, just finishing up some last minute work I procrastinated all summer long. I made out a end-of-summer list of goals and things I need to get done by each day. Today I promised myself I would outline for my IB essay, find all my sources, and start writing, and to my surprise, I followed through! Writing the extended essay is not as hard as I thought... I'm REALLY glad I picked art rather than science or english. Writing on art makes me feel like an art critic, and it's fun to just analyze the paintings. So today after searching through the shelves of over-sized books and making my mom and her library friends search for my books, I finally gathered a stack of good resources I can use for my essay. Two of them are specifically about Picasso's relationship with his women (he was SUCH a womanizer), and one is specifically a biography on Dora Maar herself. Wow. I love big libraries. It's great to go from a public library, disappointed and empty-handed, to a bigger library and finding books that will actually help me! =]
Yep yep. So I've begun writing, and I now have almost 1000 words. I like typing at CSUF; it's air-conditioned, the keyboards are nice, the computers are big and fast, AND they have the newest version of Microsoft Word, which I LOVE. Right now I'm waiting for my Microsoft Office 2007 30 Day Trial to finish installing. BUT YES, I love the new version. It makes me want to type and type and type and type...
I haven't seen many of my friends for a long time. I might go to Downtown Disney on friday, what about you Byron?? I want to eat at the Rainforest Cafe. I dont think I'm going to watch Rush Hour 3. Ok i'm tired. goodnight!

getty & auntie
Hello!!
Sorry I wasn't online yesterday. I went to the Getty Center with Anne! Anne is one of my best friends... she's like a junior in college now. Pretty scary how time flies by. Yep yep.. well, we haven't seen each other in such a long time, so it was GREAT to finally hang out with her for almost the whole day. She's going to study abroad in Scotland next year, so I won't get to see her for another year :( BUT, we are planning to go to the OC International thing and she can get me free funnel cake and lemonade:)
The Getty Museum was cool like always. I saw new exhibits... one about animals and this photography one. I drew in my sketchbook like a art nerd. :) It's for IB art. Hmm, yep and we walked around the garden and took pics. I'm too lazy to post them up, maybe sometime later..
After that, we went to Santa Monica for lunch and shopping. We ate New York Style Pizza by the slice (I <3 Tomato and Basil Pizza!) and then went to Pink Ice, the place where I bought my favorite dress (see your right for picture). I bought a pink and white shirt for $10. It's so comfy and cute but it's kinda big on me. I might wear it on the first day of school :) I like it.
Then we couldn't find my dad (like always), so we had to wait. While we were waiting there was this girl who was singing, and she said she's a "top myspace artist". She was selling her CDs for only $5. Maybe I should have bought one and got her autograph. Who knows, maybe she'll be famous someday.
Then we got starbucks. Thanks Anne for the frappuccino!! :) And then we found my dad. And then we sent Anne home and went to Costco, then to Staples. And that was my not so typical Sunday.
Today wasn't that typical either. I woke up at 9:30, watched some of Finding Nemo, and then went to eat brunch with my Ayi and sister at Cocos. She showed us her Iphone, which is oh-so-cool! I want one, though it won't be "practical". Dude it has everything, even Youtube. I tried searching for my "Fotografia" music video but it couldn't find it. Hmm. Then we sent Jeje home and I went to Ayi's house to type. It took like 15 minutes -_- hahaha. I got $25. I feel bad. Maybe I should act like an Asian and refuse the money.
:)
I have lots to do before school starts. I won't be online much, but I will check my email and blog!:)

senior photo, FBLA, and 7 secrets
Today was not a typical Saturday.
Instead of going to art class, which I normally do on Saturday mornings, I was allowed to sleep in until 10:30. Then I ate breakfast and got ready for... my SENIOR CLASS photo.
So we got there a little late, but it was all good. People were still getting their pictures taken, so it wasn't my turn yet. Then I went in, and got lots of pictures taken of me. The photographer was really nice, and she asked about my summer. I talked about going to Chicago for FBLA, and surprise surprise, she's from Chicago! So yeah, that's what we talked about. She took so many pictures of me... some of the regular yearbook pictures, and some with props and background settings. I hope they turned out okay. Nope, I didn't get them back yet. They had difficulties with the computer, but they'll mail them on Monday.
While waiting for my pictures to be printed (the lady didn't tell me about the computer problems until I waited for a good 10 minutes -__-), I couldn't help to notice how young I look compared to other the other seniors taking their pictures. None were from Troy, thankfully (I'm sort of antisocial when it comes to people I don't really know, if you haven't realized by now), but there were some people from other schools that looked OLD. And they all had makeup and their hair done... it made me feel so YOUNG.
So anyways, after that, we brought lunch home from El Pollo Loco. Then at around 2:20, I went to CSUF to have the FBLA board meeting. We got a lot done! Michael's a good President. Oh and I'm officially the vice president! :) Hopefully next year will be a fun year for FBLA.. and we'll beat Homestead? :] Maybe maybe. Jesse, Michael, and I will make sure we're better prepared for the conferences and events. :)
After that, I came home. My aunt came to visit, and I just showed her my prom pictures (she said, like all the other people on facebook, that I looked like a china princess/celebrity in my taipei-LA pictures) and the Deadwood Dick website. Thenn I ate dinner. I FINALLY came up with a new IB essay topic-- "How did Pablo Picasso's relationship with Dora Maar influence his depiction of women from 1935-1945?" Hahaha. yay!! it's pretty easy to talk about, AND it's specific :). Dude, Picasso was SUCH a womanizer... -_-
OHH guess what?! My mom bought my sister and me a 48 pack of prismacolor markers and 48 prismacolor colored pencils! :)
Anyways, I got tagged by my sister:
Seven Secrets
1. When I was in pre-school, I pooped on my pants. My teacher put my underwear (with my poop) in my cubby. My mom saw it and thought it was a brownie or something. Thankfully she smelled it and saw the underwear. :P
2. I love old people. Especially old people with a lot of wrinkles. They're so awesome to draw.
3. I used to do this saliva thing in "Big Daddy" where I spit and then suck the saliva back in. I was a pro.
4. I love Desperate Housewives. And I never close my eyes.
5. I used to be scared of rollercoasers. REALLY scared. The first time I went on Ghostrider, WOW I was freaked out even after going. Now I'm better.
6. I want to be a ballerina, and I want to win So You Think You Can Dance. I think Benji is cute.
7. I don't want to be a science major, but I have a feeling I might have to.
I tag: BYRON! the only person who reads this.

Hahaha. yay!! it's pretty easy to talk about, AND it's specific :). Dude, Picasso was SUCH a womanizer... -_-
OHH guess what?! My mom bought my sister and me a 48 pack of prismacolor markers and 48 prismacolor colored pencils! :)
Anyways, I got tagged by my sister:
Seven Secrets
1. When I was in pre-school, I pooped on my pants. My teacher put my underwear (with my poop) in my cubby. My mom saw it and thought it was a brownie or something. Thankfully she smelled it and saw the underwear. :P
2. I love old people. Especially old people with a lot of wrinkles. They're so awesome to draw.
3. I used to do this saliva thing in "Big Daddy" where I spit and then suck the saliva back in. I was a pro.
4. I love Desperate Housewives. And I never close my eyes.
5. I used to be scared of rollercoasers. REALLY scared. The first time I went on Ghostrider, WOW I was freaked out even after going. Now I'm better.
6. I want to be a ballerina, and I want to win So You Think You Can Dance. I think Benji is cute.
7. I don't want to be a science major, but I have a feeling I might have to.
I tag: BYRON! the only person who reads this.
