Day 16 - February 5, 2010

Gahh. This week has been so hectic!! and next will most likely be too. I should make this a weekly thing rather than a daily thing. XD Hung out with William, Jen, Frank, Cody, Miguel, Charles, and Felix today. It was cool. Charles is beastttt at mahjong. Definitely the quickest learner I've had. I'm so pooped right now. So many tests and assignments this past week and this coming week. I don't even want to go through it. Maybe tomorrow or something. Oh and I got a 2.8. funnnn. Sorry for the short post. too tired.

Day 15 - January 31, 2010

So I FINALLY got the okay to go back to school. I return on Tuesday. I haven't been blogging the past two weeks because my mommy wouldn't let me touch my camera, and honestly there was nothing to say. The past two weeks I've been stuck in my room with chicken pox. I literally slept, ate and slept some more. Oh and I watched a lot of TV online, such as Numb3rs, Leverage, Amazing Race (two full seasons), Modern Family, Ghost Whisperer, Secret Life, Make it or Break it, and, of course, NCIS. Yeah, I had THAT much time to spare. I wish I could have been working on my make up work but I honestly couldn't without getting a massive headache. I was on four different pills and I drank A LOT of water. (Both things I normally don't do.) I miraculously was able to bare with the pills and I'm getting used to this water thing. The past few days I've been staying up really late working on homework until 5amish and sleeping until 11ish. So far, I've only been able to finish Spanish and Math and things that should have only taken 2-3hours...took me 10hours because I would get so distracted with trivial things. Time flew by REALLY fast. For example, this took me over an hour.
Okay..so onto today..I actually got to go outside!! It felt so nice to be outside among other humans. I spent a good part of my day helping Joey with chemistry. (Yes, teaching him chemistry was much more fun than doing my own work. Plus, I like to help. =]) Then, Phil came over and we hung out for a bit. It was nice to not stress about work. By the time he left I wasn't too thrilled. It just put me in a very..I don't know...passive mood? Eh, whatever mood it is, I'm ready to do my work. I might even not sleep tonight. It's perfectly fine with me as long as I get my work done. The plan is to do as much Biology as I can then do as much English as I can. Then I'm going to put both on hold and complete my History and TOK papers. Then I'm going to continue working on everything else as needed. And then...sometime this weekend or next I'm going to hang out with Jen, William, and Miguel because I deserve it. hmph. Plus, Jen brought me all of my homework and bought me Double Dragon, William got me strawberry koalas, and Miguel was just being himself. haha. Agenda for the three of us? Park/Basketball/Photo shoot, Wii, Mah Jong. Oh, and a HUMONGOUS thank you to Tyler too.

Day 14 - January 22, 2010

If you haven't heard or have been wondering where I've been...I have the chicken pox. So, I've been home all week...very very itchy! I didn't discover the calamine lotion until yesterday! My mom's response? "Oh, I didn't know you could have any." -.- Anyways, she's banned me from touching my camera and I've been sleeping a lot. I'm about to go to the docs to see how I'm doing and figured I'd do a little update. I look HORRIBLE right now. Oh, and I'll have a few more pics on my Flickr.

Day 13 - January 17, 2010

Went bowling this morning. =] I beat Frank by 3 pins! haha. After getting so many gutters, I hustled him. haha. After, I got my $500 check and deposited to the bank. Then, we picked up the little kids and brought them to the park for a little bit. I spent the rest of the day at Jen's house and I'm actually there right now. Hence, no picture for right now, but I definitely do have a picture that I'll post when I get home. We're currently playing Mahjong with Miguel, Cody, and William. ♥ We're spreading the love of mahjong and harvesting new mahjong players. LMFAO. Anyways, it's late, we're hyper.

Day 12 - January 15, 2010

Exams are done! *yay!* I did..okay. I didnt get any sleep whatsoever last night. I'm surprised I'm awake right now. I have a picture, but I'm too lazy to deal with it right now. I'll definitely update the post with a picture. Anyways, finished that yeast lab! haha. And was the scorekeeper for quidditch. Yes, quidditch. It was a great trial run, definitely another game next Thursday. After, went to Jen's house. Her present wasn't even in the box I showed yesterday. That box was full of shredded paper and a post it note indicating that the gift was in the bag next to her. =] I got her Quelf. We spent the evening playing that. The other best part? My dad called me in the middle of the game, telling me to remember 2 words. "Merry...Christmas" I was like...okay...o.O I came home to a 55-200mm lens. <3 So uber happy right now, but too lazy to mess with it at this very moment. Hopefully, tomorrow I can get some things accomplished, teach Felix math, play mahjong, and mess with my new lens. =]

Day 11 - January 14, 2010

One more exam! I got a 95 on my math exam and a 65 on my bio exam. *go me* Anyways, I just finished putting together Jen's present. It's so epic. The picture is going to be her MLIA submission for tomorrow. heh. Also, quidditch tomorrow! It shall be an entertaining sight. Sigh; There was a bunch of stuff I wanted to say but I can't really remember right now. I went to Golden Coral for dinner. LOL. Not important at all. Oh, I submitted two pieces for the Keiser Show. That's pretty cool. And actually...I'm supposed to be working on my yeast lab, otherwise I'll be in trouble tomorrow. I guess I should go work on that...OH! and I got Funky Flamingo duct tape today. Okay, definitely rambling now. Time to work.

Day 10 - January 12, 2010

I stayed home yesterday because I wasn't feeling well. I didn't get that much accomplished either. =[ I found out that I'm the Young Floridian nominee for Career and Technology though! hehe. =] I'm definitely excited about that. There were a bunch of things I wanted to mention, but they've all managed to escape me at this very moment. =\ Oh, I also got a $500 scholarship from Florida Guard! ^^ Both very happy and exciting things, yet I'm buried under all of this stress. GAH. Currently working on my TOK paper. "To what extent is truth different in mathematics, the arts and ethics?" Any opinions? And about today's picture. Yes, it really has been that long ago. It's a bittersweet feeling. Those are the same roses (link). (Aug 2008)

Day 9 - January 10, 2010

Still working on my History IA paper. Anyways, the highlight of my day is that --> Kuai-Kuai! When the brought my cousin Allan back to Orlando, they brought back Kuai-Kuai for my cousin Jen and I. They got me 10 and she got 16. <3 They bought all the store had. =] They are the best snack ever. I used to get them all the time when I was little and we just recently found them again in Orlando. You have no idea how ecstatic we were to find them. Only difference now is that they don't have prizes in them. haha. Oh and I found out yesterday that my aunt won $100 from the scratch-offs I bought her for Christmas and my other aunt won $30. Quite amazing. =D Currently, I'm not feeling too well. If it weren't for these Kuai-Kuai, I'd be knocked out in bed right now. I'm trying to finish this paper but I really want to call it a night already. =\
Oh, and I think you readers (I know you're out there) should follow/comment/react to my posts.

Day 8 - January 09, 2010

So I did a little of something and a little of nothing today. I picked up another book from the library and did some reading. I talked with Joey on Skype and went to Jen's house. Oh the things that were said, totally priceless, and we may have found another new person to play mahjong with. Next weekend, I'm definitely thinking of going bowling. Let me know if you'd like to join. =]

"What's Carlos's name?" - William

*Guy eating Pup-eroni* (yes...dog food) "You know that's dog food right?" "Really? These are good!" - Felix (<-- he ate the dog food) / William

"OMG! You don't know George Clooney!? If I was a girl, I'd date George Clooney. George Clooney is hot." - Frank

Anyways, it snowed today in Orlando! ORLANDO! SNOW! OMG! lol. I can't believe it's going to be in the 20s tonight. Maybe snow? haha. That'd be awesome. Just the fact that there's snow in South Florida. I really want to grab some hot chocolate and just start driving north in a few hours as the temperatures drop. Road trip anyone? I promise to bring my history books with me! Sigh; off to read some more.

Day 7 - January 08, 2010

Went to Denny's, to the park, and watched Inglorious Bastards with Jen, Cody, and Paul after school. It was a pretty great way to end the week and start the long week I have ahead. Phil and Boris also joined for the movie. I got some pretty nice shots today, and I'm incredibly tired right now. I wasn't going to write a post today but I needed to stay awake to make sure Phil was okay and Joey went to hang out with his girlfriend. So, here I am. (Phil's okay btw) I wish he would've stayed, such a rare opportunity. Perhaps, another time? Sigh; now sleep, finally. Oh, and they didn't announce Young Floridian nominees today!! Gah!! I want to know!!! Okay, now sleep. hah.

Day 6 - January 07, 2010

So I missed my first post yesterday. =[ I fell asleep at like 7 and forgot. No worries though. I shall not cheat. Anyways, I found out I got a 12 on my Spanish Oral. meh. I think my score will be averaged out to a 14 though. Barely passing. =\ Oh, and Young Floridian nominees are announced tomorrow! I really hope I'm the nominee for Technology. And..currently, I'm talking to Joey via Skype and since his mic doesn't work I'm talking to him on the phone. haha. But yeah, this is definitely the highlight of my day...hmm.. perhaps even week. =P Thankies Joey! =D

Day 5 - January 05, 2010

Ahh! My Spanish Oral is tomorrow! I don't know what I am going to do!!! =\ My head isn't working right now. I so hope that everything works out. She probably isn't happy with me at all right now. School was cold! 3 sweatshirts and still cold, even when the room was fine! It was weird to feel that like cold tingle. After, I got another book from the library and went to buy some new pants. What is it with skinny jeans?! Seriously!? It was frustrating, and then when I found one I liked, they didn't have my size! -.- Oh, and NCIS was very good tonight. I'm so out of it, I could barely keep track of that. xD Now, for a nap and then memorizing my oral. And...I cheated a little. I don't have the time for a picture today and I wanted to use this the other day but didn't. So here it is!...a shot of my now usable desk! (for those who may not have believed me haha) Wish me luck! Oh, and click on the picture to see my notes on Flickr.

Day 4 - January 04, 2010

Wow, what a day it has been. The World Lit Papers are turned in and done! Next item to tackle: formal spanish oral. *runs away* Mi tema es una comparacion entre el fotoperiodismo en espana y los estados unidos. Why, why, why! Would I pick such a topic?! What is she going to ask me about?! Sigh; Well, the math test went okay...I think. I just need to take my Bio test tomorrow. Oh, and we've been assigned to people watch for Theory of Knowledge. haha. Should be interesting. We all get to be creepers for a week. Aside from that, I took a nap when I got home, and around the time I needed to wake up but didn't want to, I managed to get a bombardment of calls/texts on my phone. Thanks guys. Oh, and about that nap...apparently my brother, sister, and I all managed to be knocked out at the same time and all woke up around the same time. My mom was freaked out. She was like...I turn around and you're all sleeping!! Anyways, new Secret Life and Make it or Break it! Both were okayish, seemed a bit predictable but at least not completely horrible. I can't wait for NCIS tomorrow! =D
Hope you like the picture for today. =] It's Eddie the Elephant! ;D (50 points to the person who can guess where that's from) Joe suggested I take a picture of my toes. I wasn't in the mood for that and the pics didn't come out as cool as that elephant. And now I'm rambling, I think, and my eyes are begging for me to take out my contacts...so good night. =]

Day 3 - January 03, 2010

It would be amazing to have some hot chocolate right now. Anyways, I have yet to really tackle all of the things I wanted to get done. That's okay though. I got 4 books from the library and will get two more on Tuesday. I'll eventually read bits and pieces of those...
Now, to get back to my work...again. Oh, and I wonder if someone would recognize that puppy. ;D

Day 2 - January 2, 2010

There's only one day left of break. =\ I didn't have a very productive day today, but the night is still young..ish. I did however finally figure out what I'm doing for my History IA. I still need to do a bit more research, but it was a good advancement.
For some reason, I feel like things have turned around...not completely but I think slowly but surely. =] Something just feels different. I've also realized a major thing in my life...nothing has really changed. I went through some of my old things and a lot of the things I've been iffy about recently have always been in my life; I just never really thought about them in this manner. And yes, I know, in reality, my downs really aren't that bad, I just tend to forget that on occasion. Anywho, I'm back to work. Hasta luego. =]

Oh, and things are definitely flip-flopped.

Day 1 - January 01, 2010

Well, here goes nothing! Not the best picture but I think it captures my new year pretty well. It's interesting to toast and take a picture at the same time. To start off the new year, I finished cleaning my room and now have a bunch of things to donate. I have to say that 2009 definitely wasn't a very good year for me, but I'm hoping that 2010 will bring better memories. Now, it's time for me to stop procrastinating and do my dreaded homework. Welcome to my life. =]

December 31, 2009

And yet another day passes without homework. I was productive though! I cleaned most of my room...until my dad decided he had nowhere better to be than in my room sleeping. Anyways, I'm going to try to do my 365 again but I'm not so sure if it'll work out very well. It's worth a shot though I guess. *sighs* I don't know what to do. I seriously just sat here for an hour trying to figure out what to do when I realized just how isolated I am and as I was sorting through some old things and reminisced about the past....all of this feeling isn't recent. It's actually been like this...all my life. I just never realized it like this before. *even bigger sigh* Oh, how fail I am. So now to just try to "fix" everything. That's all I can do, try. Now, I'm off to finish cleaning.

December 30, 2009

So I've been feeling like a complete wreck lately and most of the devastation occurs during the late hours of the night. (of course) I don't know what I'm going to do to fix it, but I'll fix it eventually. (nevermind that I've been trying to do that for the past year or so) At the moment, I feel like the biggest problem is the lack of feeling needed. TSA is gone...until I (hopefully) become an alumni. Florida Guard is gone. (I only needed a few more action hours! sigh;) School is meh. My grades are still okay, but not where I'd like them. The motivation just isn't there anymore. I don't know. =\
Anyways, my original reason for writing this post...well, this blog...my Project 365. The new year is coming up soon. Should I start Day 1 with the new year? I want to. Maybe the mindset of the whole "it's a new year!" will subconsciously fix everything. haha. It might just work. My mind is weird. I haven't started on my homework; I really need to do that. And I didn't get a chance to make my website like I wanted. I kind of forgot with all this procrastination. xD I spend most of last week laying around and hanging out with my cousins, not wanting to do homework, thinking well...it is break, I should have some time to relax. But, of course, it wasn't really relaxing if I kept thinking about the things I needed to do. So I guess for now, the plan is to start my Project 365 with the start of the new year. If that fails, I'll start it when I'm off to college. That sounds like a good starting point to, plus I'll have more things to photograph, I think. I'm also getting a new lens sometime soonish. *sigh* no se, no se, no se sobre mi vida.

December 28, 2009

I've been long overdue for a blog post and its time to just put everything out there and delete it later. I have an immense feeling of loneliness at the moment. I don't know how I was able to even fall asleep. Anyways, I did and woke up from a really icky feeling, and I realized...I had no one to call. (Well, I could call...but I think I've been enough of an annoyance.) I feel like everything has been flip-flopped. I feel vulnerable. Everything was going so well in the beginning, and what I thought should've only gotten better over time...dwindled and now here I am....feeling..not how I should be feeling. Today is the start of a tremendous amount of homework, even my horoscope agrees. It advises I shut everything out and work. (I hope writing this at 5am doesn't count.)
Anyways, as anyone could guess, Phil and I are kinda funky again. This time, I'd say it was my fault for being so insecure and now I've put myself in a worse situation, far from ideal. Although, it's only been a few days, not talking to him...sucks. I don't know what to do. The consensus is that I should've gotten over him a long long time ago and need to get over him now.....I don't want to do that. It's not something I can describe or even begin to. I just know that no matter how much I complain, while I'm with him..I'm always smiling. I can complain all I want about stupid things, but in the end, I wouldn't trade it for anything. All the stupid things that have occurred in the past. All the things I wish never happened...things that I think would make life so much more enjoyable if they had happened differently and I know at exactly whichc points I screwed up.
At the moment, after re-reading what I just typed, I'm starting to tear up and I feel stupid. Lonely..and stupid. Just plain idiotic...not for writing the above...but for getting to where I am. It's not a fun place to be and I wish I wasn't here.
Christmas was fine. Nothing too exciting. Just another reminder that I don't like where I am right now. The cousins came over, that was fun. In regards to presents, uhmm I got Wii Fit Plus. woohoo? Aside from that, nothing really useful. Just things that'd take up more space in my already crowded room. I'm not upset that I didn't get anything "good". I'm upset because it felt like...no one cared. My favorite present is still...the card I got from Phil.
Gah, I don't know. It's not like I got anyone else anything (aside from my family) or have been talking to anyone really. I don't know why I should expect anything. In a sense, I don't feel like initiating anything because I feel like I shouldn't need to be the initiator...like it should be the other way around. But, I know that if I don't do something, why should I think I deserve someone else to?
Ah well, now I'm at a lost for words and falling back asleep. Ah..sleep, an escape from all of this...except for when I end up dreaming about it...

December 3, 2009

First of all, Happy Birthday Jacob!! =D He's 7! So my MLIA: Today, it's my brother's birthday. I spun him around 7 times since he turned 7. I was the one who go dizzy. Anyways, I'm so over and done with school! Gahhhh. 6 more months! I want to get out of IB and into college and just be....somewhere NOT here! Just tired tired tired and bored. It's only 8 and I want to be in bed.
