Human Psych: It's okay. The people aren't that great but I like the people at my table. The teacher's nice and soft spoken.
Chemistry: Somewhat intimidating- considering the things that are supposed to be "review" I hardly know of. I hate science. But it's one of the classes I look forward to. He's not as scary as I thought he was.
ROTC: Gosh, I love this class. I love the people there~! Chaaaaarlieeeeee. I love the flight staff. I like my job. And most of all, less drill for meeee! =w=; Yaaaay. Paperwork is my thing.
English: I hate this class. I liked the class last year but this class... it's basically giving work and doing it with little explanation. The teacher kind of looks like she's 14 from the back.... I thought she was sort of cool before with the lazy teenish accent but I really don't like this class. I wish I didn't have to take this class in respect to Human Psych.
Lunch: I don't know where to hang out. xD; I usually hang out with "AKE" and co. I want to hang out with Bill's group but they migrated away!
PreCal: I heard this teacher was difficult but I don't find her to be such. Sure, homework everyday, but it's all cool... then again, we're just in review at the moment.
Spanish: I like this class. Not love or extremely like but just like. It's alright, kind of relaxing at the end of the day. The teacher's funny to me- a bit strange, though.
Yeah. HAPPY BIRTHDAY TOMMY.
Okay.
I don't have anything to contemplate on. I just want to talk to someone. D:

So, my weekend was the best weekend of my summer. It was the last and I wished I had more weekends like that but such isn't going to happen as I drown in school- and no, I don't mean physically.
Recap for future references of first day of the second year:
I slept late because I couldn't get to sleep as early. So when the alarm rang at 5:55, my body was pretty much dead in the deepest sleep. Morning routine, packed lunch, stuffed supplied into backpack, breakfast, into the car, "bye mom.".
Today... I couldn't help but smile most of the day [the times of sarcasm and times where there wasn't class in session... I wouldn't call it most of the day now that I think about it].
Alright.
Human Psych: Seems like an simple class. Don't mind not taking AP Psych [bookwork, suckaaas!]
Chem: There is no words to describe except "intimidating". There were hints of sarcasm... heck, the "greeting" lecture was laced with sarcasm. Sheer business. The guy's got an incredible poker face. God, I'm going to fail.
RO: I can't take this class seriously. I was smiling constantly. There are only 4 new students in the class, which I find really funny but it's new students despite all. Wondering what's in store.
English: It's yet another simple english class. I don't think I've ever had a rigorous english teacher... they've all been pretty mellow. I don't mind not having too much of a challenge... but I think I need to overcome my talktalktalking... it's difficult considering the few but friendly in this class.
Lunch: My bento sucks. :P I walked around for a while.
Math: In retrospect, the assignments and general class are easy... but I've been so dependent on others for math- I'm getting really slow at learning and remembering it. I don't do fast pace very well. I think I have to find a groove of balance in schoolwork to achieve this year.
Spanish: The teacher's awesome. It's a simple class and I understand more than I thought I did, surprisingly.
I hope the rest of the week is as easy but I doubt it.
After school, teams had practices for a while. I spent a good 35 minutes in line [behind some girls that I couldn't even tell their age. They looked old but acted childish with designer little purses. Of course I shouldn't be too quick to judge.] for some chemistry book only to find that I could not check it out without a student ID which I had left at home. With a smile and an "I understand", I left that library.
I watched teams practice, somewhat surprised at the few members left. I hope they'll be enough new team members this year.
After, Ron treated the group to food because he is being sent into the marines for about three months starting today or tomorrow. I hope he stays safe and keeps himself out of trouble.
I met up with my mom at a store and followed her while she grocery shopped. Then we went to Target which was infested with high schoolers doing last minute shopping.
After that, went home.

I’m typing this up on Microsoft Word because my brother is somewhat using him labtop and somehow, it just completely shuts off my internet connection ever though mine is more direct. So that’s why I put the date, to not confuse. [later on] Oh, never mind, big bro got off~ xD
I spent today with Cara a little early in the afternoon. It was a really nice day. Her sister drove us to the Morning Glory square for a job application. Cara and I got into this conversation about starting a club at school. Then, to Marukai and we bought presents & various other things. We saw Angela, a friend from middle school, almost the last person I’d think to see. :o She’s so sweet~ and funny. Ah! I miss her personality so much, it’s so vibrant. We went to the grocery section to get snacks.
Later in the afternoon, after we returned home, there was a craving of curry so we went off to the nearby asian supermarket and got curry [later, she went back for a few more ingredients we needed]. We were a bit hesitant to make it so it took a lot longer. We kept joking about what we have the skills to move out [other than job-doing and car-driving. xD food-cooking is a main one, for a well rounded life— I think so.]. I don’t think I’d like to move out for a long time but I don’t want to be a burden to my parents for too long. :/ Anyway, back to the day, we made curry with chicken and veg according to the package. It came out deliciously! The consistency was of soup until we added the flour but we forgot to sift it so we had to whisk the chunks of flour until they were mixed in the soup. It came out really awesome. [pix in Cara’s lj, maybe] :3
Haha, I had dinner there and got picked up. Then my mom went grocery shopping, I picked up a few things to use for lunches at school [oh my! Half a week more. ): Aaaah]
And here I am! That was my day.
Oh, earlier this week…. Monday I think, I went to the mall with my oldest [by length of times we’ve been friends] best friend- I never get tired of her, though!- Jessicaaa. It was after the orientation thing at her school. The mall was fun, we spent money on food more than any material items. Nothing was really on sale or very nice. I later found because [prooobably] labor day is soon and all the good sales are then! I can’t wait. :D I have some back-to-school last minutes stuff to buy. Teehee. We shared cheese fries and later each had a frozen yogurt [gosh, there’s this place there and it’s not very busy but the yogurt tastes exactly like ice cream—with out the guilt! It was heaven with a contemporary setting]. It was a very fatty-induced day but I was really relaxed. Her dad convinced me to stay over a night. I don’t see her very often, usually just during summer and occasionally during weekends, so it was a nice treat. I feel almost out of touch with her most of the time. I didn’t buy anything. Her dad picked us up later that day and bought us fish sandwiches [she’s been pescatarian for a year and a half—I’ve tried but I fail miserably. I failed today because of the chicken –shakes fist- Haha.]. We spend the night and morning reminiscing and messing around with Tommy online. ^-^ It was awesome~.
This was a good week so far.
So my main concerns today were presents & the club. I don’t want to elaborate on either … for particular reasons. I don’t want anyone stealing the club ideal/concept. ;P
Also, lunches during school. I could choose the option of getting the free low-income one, but that’s my fall-back plan for days I wake up late or something. I’m bracing myself for sleepy days. Sleeping schedule is a current priority. Anyway, earlier I mentioned grocery shopping for lunches. I don’t really know what I should make. For the first month, I’m “experimenting” and incorporating fighting through a busy schedule. I also want to try making sushi or onigiri. Yumyum. I’m using brown short grained rice because it’s much healthier and it’s more filling [though slightly harder to chew].
Another concern how “replaceable” I am. I don’t have a bright or very…. Original personality. I’m not currently a person I want to be too much… I’m trying to change the way I address others and my actions. If I’m too nice, I’ll come off as artificial but if I express my opinions too honestly, I’ll be mean. I have such problems with self consciousness and esteem. I even have problems with saying “I” too much in this blog. Dunno what I can exactly replace “I” with… other than making cut off sentences. Also, it’s crazy for someone to try to write a book without the letter “I”, has that ever been done? Crazy, I tell you. So, I’m afraid that I have such a recyclable personality. But I’ve lost myself. Is that weird? I don’t think I can determine my own personality, it’s a bit biased if that is done.
There are many people.. actually everyone I know and consider as a friend… who I believe I can never replace. No matter how close it seems, unless you cloned the person completely… and even then, I don’t think I can put someone in someone else’s place. That person’s place may move but I won’t have the same experiences with the other. A bit confusing but my long dragged out way of saying, I appreciate my friends. I’m not the greatest at keeping in touch but I’ll try to be friendly and if I’m not, you can just smack me in the face [maybe the arm…] or something okay? I won’t mind. =w=; I’ve had a tough time confronting people and if someone did that to me… like said “you’re being mean” or “don’t say that” or “don’t tell me what to do”, it would be considered much and engraved into my mind, pretty much. This blog has turned into a letter, huh? Well… I just felt the need to say that because I may not show it but I feel like I owe a great debt to my friends, for giving me memories and showing kindness. Talk to me, friend~ (: I’m sure you and I haven’t kept in touch as much as we could of.
Well, simply it might be my fault for not holding up my end of such friendship… If I didn’t have AIM or Myspace, I’d probably not be able to keep in touch with any of my friends at all. That sucks—this dependency. I’m glad I’m able to, though. Which reminds me, there are quite a few friends I haven’t talked to… it maybe a bit awkward but I hope soon I could talk to them~
I feel cheesy. But there isn’t many other words I can use to express it simply.
I think I’ve overfilled this blog a bit much. I’ll continue another time. Good night~ 10:12PM

Well. I guess I'll start at Friday.
It was basically registration day-- for those who hadn't registered. But it was also schedule-picture-id-card-etc day. I was dropped off at Cara's house and we walked to school. It was hot, for late afternoon. Ah! I sweat so much when I have only little exposure to the sun. Gross.
First, we went to get our ID pictures. I thought the card was very, almost reminiscently, like one of my middle school id cards. It was a really long line that seemed to hardly moved but it did move. But standing with a few [louder] friends that I hadn't seen a while dulled the waiting in line stuff. I'm pretty satisfied with the picture.
Then, Cara and I went to get our schedules. I wasn't satisfied with my elective and, after a charmingly short conversation with the lady distributing the schedules, we went to the counselors office to get a change. The schedule isn't permanent-- pretty sure mine has to be balanced to maintain class sizes.
And finally, to get our textbooks. It was difficult finding a few, but with a teensy amount of help [short half-sarcastic chuckle here], I was able to find all my books. Note to self: review textbooks for preparation. They weren't too heavy. Only 4, at the moment, because the workbooks weren't being distributed and types of science books depend on the teacher.
We walked to her home and I went home a bit later.
I almost forgot what I did that day. HAHA. :3 Talk about short term memory loss
Today was awesome.
At 9, I got dropped off at Karizma's house~ I woke up really early that morning- earlier than I intended. But it was okay.
Then we were dropped of at a small shopping square. It was completely dead and empty. :/ Despite it, we walked around for a bit until we asked for directions somewhere else not-so-dead. A busy korean market, that is. Despite it being a majority of groceries, we stayed the entire time at the small store looking for school supplies and picking out things. I called bill to ask for what michelle favors [for a late birthday present, but he was 3/4 asleep talking [sorry, again, Bill]. I didn't see anything really out of the ordinary nice gift to buy her anything, though.
Then we went to another shopping square, only it was Japanese. There is a separate convenience store and grocery store. We met up with Cara and Erika, who BIKED there. It was about a 30 minute drive- a 1 hour bike. I think that's crazy. Then, CAKE was reunited. Which reminds me, I was watching a show named the same thing and I thought it was lame, even for child standards. But if that's what the kids watch, let that be~.
The rest is almost a blur. We got food at this really great place called Tofu House and it was great. I'm not a food expert but I really liked the food there. I won't elaborate but I would gladly go there everyday for lunch.
Basically, we walked to a lot of places, in circles but with purpose. It was good exercise. I'm pretty much set for school, I just need filler paper. I won't go on~
After we finished that all, CAKE parted ways in respective pairs and then Karizma and I got picked up by her father. We were dropped off at old navy. 12 dollar jean saturday, today. The main focus of the employees was fitting rooms and organization of the jeans, at those moments-- from what I saw. It was crazy. Most of the jeans we sold... I think... but there was enough to salvage. I met a friend who recently graduated, too. Then, after checkout, we went to barnes and nobles to read a little.
Then to her house. We walked her adorable dog and then I went home and h
JEEEZ , school is in a week. That's crazy. That's psychotic.
Yeah. I'm really out of it at the moment...
Mia called earlier, but I was too tired to pick up. I'm sorry about that.
Haha, I saw the "unknown" caller id and I was a bit paranoid. Thanks for the voicemail message.
I just felt the need to blog.
I really do want to go to clairemont, not right now, though, of course. But I wonder, what do I really need there. Cute things seem less and less appealing in comparison to the drive there and back, and what I really do need.
Hm. I was angry at my mom earlier because I don't like "toasting" brown rice.
I'm really paranoid, those episodes of CSI and Law and Order really got to me.
Good morning.
Originally, Friday was for a trip to Miramar lake at noon. That didn't happen because I wasn't in the mood to go off there, I don't expect much there. :/ Ducks are fun to watch, yeah.
Then, my brother offered me to go LegoLand. Sounds fun, right? Naaah. I didn't want to go. Half because I was half asleep when he called. Anyway, I went once and that's enough for me. Legos are fun to a certain extent. I didn't want to cost them an extra ticket's cost and some for food [I assume].
So my might-of-been good day goes south. [not that south is bad. it's just... downhill? Falling downhill? Yeah.] My mother decides to run errands today. For the most part, I was patient. I mean, she could have done them tomorrow, but this was the first weekday in a while [with no occassion particularly] that my niece and nephew wouldn't be at our house.
So, we went to that water jug refilling place. It's a bit uneasy getting water from a place where people are constantly drinking and smoking in the same shopping [not exactly, t-mobile, two restaurants, and a beauty shop that never seems to be available openly] area. I'm being a little dull in my actual thoughts of that place... but I won't linger on description. For "exercise" and because the car parked next to ours was too close to the driver's side, we walked to the dentist across the street to get a newspaper. Then to the pharmacist's where on the way, Cara asked me to go swimming. I was 25 minutes, give or take, away, and wouldn't be back until the times that my mom considers too late to be out. [5 pm or so.] Then afterward, back to the same "square" the dentist's place was, to go to a chinese convenience [grocery?] store. I'm a bit suspicious of the expiration dates of most of the stuff there. I'd been there countless times for many years with my mom. It never seems to change much. My mom purchased some groceries and we left.
Then she drove me all the way to Kohls. Yeah. I was pretty confident I'd buy a lot. But when I got to the dressing room, my mood went sour. Everything I tried on was critiqued by my mom ["It's too tight, you're not thin enough for that." or simply just a stare of silent disapproval] or, otherwise, chosen by my mom and wasn't of my personal preference or too big.
I only went once through the many racks and only once in the dressing room, but it was all to turn me off to the idea of shopping at Kohls. So I try to find some shoes. It's a disappointing attempt. I don't know, I'm just really picky. [someone need to invent some sort of new shoes] Afterwards, we leave, nothing spent.
Then we went to Costco. We got a lot of stuff. Considering school is half a month away, I bought a few snacks [2 or 3, but that's a lot, seeing as it's all costco sized] and easy-to-make things. I don't know if that stuff will last until then but just seeing what's good.
Then home, it's 5, 5:30, maybe.
That was my day. nothing really happened afterwards.
Gosh! I've really been tangled up with portion control. Good dieting is all about balance and portion control. I'm shocked at the little portion sizes from the, in comparison, monstrous bags. Y'see, my mom bought this gram scale from a Japanese marketplace a while ago. I've been pulling it to use, recently. It's funny how a un-filling-in-a-snack-way handful of cheetos is 10 grams of fat while an almost overflowing snack sized ziplock bag of kix is only 1 gram. I really like Kix. It's plain but slightly sweet and simple. I eat it as a dry snack a lot more than a meal. The whole school-year time, I thought the serving would be a handful and I was really scarce about it. =-=; yeah, that didn't help.
So I spent a good 15 minutes or so, weighing a few snacks and pouring that serving size into snack sized ziplocks.
The onion ring chips were surprising. I usually treated them the same as regular chips [potato snack chips.... even though they were completely different.] but one serving is almost half a bag. It's a bit too airy, though.
Haha. Randomrandom.
Oh, the reason I was blogging, also, I was thinking if any of my habits were like of the previous school year, I'd probably hang out after school and eat out really often. So I decided to check in on the food places that are in range, their nutritional info. It was definitely enough to get me thinking about just bringing snack for after school. The usual place that were went to... it included Carl's Jr. Not to talk smack, but I usually ordered the chili cheese fries and spicy chicken sandwich. Since I'm trying to give up pork and beef at the least, I looked at the chicken stuff. Then I just wanted to see what was the chili cheese fries nutritional info, AND OH MY GOSH, no wonder I gained weight and was fatter. [not that I've lost it, yet.]. Yeah, it tips over the 1000 calorie mark by 400. That's pretty much my entire day's calorie count, in accordance to my current. And 76 freaking grams of fat. It was definitely a meal to share... but I had consumes an entire box, less a few fries sometimes, but just a few. Sorry, but I just kind of died inside when I saw that. The chicken sandwich was a little less than half this heart stopper [literally]. It's not worth giving 3/4th of average calorie intake for that greasy mess. I thought it would just be a little treat, last school year, but... wow. I calculated one of the actual meals I had, not including the drink, and wow. It's surprising.
At least, this year I'm more aware. The Carl's Jr. thing was just an example. I have plenty of other issues with some of the other food establishments in the area. I think I'll stick to going straight to the grocery store and getting something good there.
I'm not done checking out other nutritional values, either.
Ever watched fitTV? Haha, I like to watch it. Weekdays, the morning is full of exercise shows [which I don't follow]. I'm more interested in the nutrition and health kind of shows. Also, some of the newer cooking shows are really nice. (: Yeah! Hand cut fries from Devin Alexander sounds interesting. Haha. I'm being consumed by ... [the opposite of "ignorance is bliss"?] and boredom to find all this stuff.
Oh, and I watch BBCA sometimes to see "You Are What You Eat" to kinda scare myself or follow those people's examples of getting into shape.
That was basically my summer and I have not been headstrong enough to actually stick to anything, and have made no progress. No matter~ ^-^ I'm aware, now, and I will try.
Haha. Just wanted to record those thoughts. I'll look back at this when I start to crave.

Anyway, I forgot what I was so hyped up about... there isn't anything keeping me down so I guess I'm really.... satisfied, content.
This morning! I don't remember how I woke up, just that I was partly blanketed and on my right side. I guess I was feeling too comfortable. I think my night was dreamless. I decided to read Twilight, again. Once in a while makes it nice. I should go to the library sometime later. I only got half way through the book.
Then, brother took me to the park [jeez, almost creepy saying that.]. No... wait, tennis with nephew then park with nephew and niece. Fun! I improved. Seriously~ =w= Just a little. I don't plan on making tennis a priority but at least I get out of the house.
Oh, that reminds me, my nephew didn't do his homework, so his mother [apparently angrily] took away the wii from the confides of this house. D: So no distractions. That's why I resorted to reading. HAHA. I can't read and listen to music at the same time. It's difficult.
I just took a look at my room... and there is a lot of stuff I forgot about. Like the nordstrom signature giant blue bag with a foot of duct tape plastered over the store logo saying "ReCYCLE" Yeah. I forgot about that. And the 24-hour moisturizer on my desk that I've never open and much less used. A few sculpey projects I never pursued and finished. A clock with it's battery removed because of the constant ticking. A jacket I wore only once because of it's bright color and repetitive pattern. A few posters and paper things that I once used to put on the wall parallel to my bed. The single- hey wait, there were two [three, but niece.. nephew... the latter broke it]... eh, it's a little panda sitting on a green.... bench? I don't know what it does or it's purpose but I got it during the closing of the small imports store that closed before summer started. In the corner of the side of the built in closet adjacent to the wall with the door is a box stuffed with seventeen and cosmo girl! magazines just because... and with the fake cardboard mask from RO ball with my name on it.
I'm not really saying anything, but eh. Good night.
NONESENSE I SPEAK!
edit. Oh, last night I freaking got to 80% of the story mode! YEEEESSS. :P I don't care anymore. because I defeated that freaking tabuu guy. Yeah. I don't need anything else on that story mode anymore. .-.
- Mood:
indescribable
But eh, the whole "time is constant" thing is kind of hard to deny.
Today was pretty interesting. It involves first [second, techniquely]- time [super smash bros!] Brawl, tennis, Jamba Juice, and more Brawl.
Haha. That's everything in a nutshell, actually. But I feel like elaborating. I'm pretty sure during the duration of my typing, my mom will come in and say "It's [actual time+15 minutes]! Go to sleep! -insert some reason in relation to beauty and/or my flaws-"
Just a heads up.
Today! Started out with waking up at... I don't remember. Not early but not late.
I did my morning routine and later watching a few early episodes of Pokemon with my nephew. [the ones where Ash gets charmander and squirtle. :P] Haha. I still like watching that.
And then I saw the gamestop bag. o_____o;
MAAAAN.
I thought I hated video games. Avoided them often. But somewhere in my mind probably was that invisible little sense pulsing out signals implying "Cheeeeerie~! Don't play! Don't play! You'll be addicted, whether you win or not!!" And that's what happened today. :/ Brawl brings out anger issues. Haha. I found myself saying "wait until this level is over!" or "just a few more minutes, hold on." 4 or 5 hours recorded- and that was just on story mode. Gosh. My hand hurts from clutching the controller and stabbing the buttons with my thumbs. [I love my thumbs. >_<; They're awesome!]
So yeah. I like playing brawl. .-. Thank goodness for the "get up" option when you die on the story mode.
And then after, we [brother, nephew and I] went to play tennis! I liked it, the activeness and all. But I suck at tennis. Really badly. I've been playing [hardly] on and off for the past years.... and I still can't get some things right. EEEEHHH. I think my nephew plays better than me. I still have to work on form. Which explain the tinge of pain in my wrist and hand.
Afterward, we went to Jamba Juice! Yum. It sort of reminded me of that one SNL parody of Jamba Juice [funny they didn't change the name. :P Either way, it was obviously Jamba Juice]. The Green Tea... something Blast is surprisingly nice. Kinda wieerd.... the consistency [yes smoothie....] is almost like very smooth guacamole. It tasted like their was milk in it... because the green tea I'm used to is the kind that tastes like regular water... a little bitter, but the smoothie version is completely different. My nephew got the $2.95 orange... something. I don't know the exact quirky name. It just tasted like orange juice. .. only they didn't have to hide the pulp because it was in a thick form anyway. :P But my nephew [and later expressed my niece] much preferred his orange something over the green tea something blast smoothie.
Yeah. Then we went home.
After my nephew left [and after a few episodes of Jon & Kate plus 8, Unwrapped, and a few fitTV cooking shows], I continued my story mode Brawl game! D: There were some difficult parts.... but partly because I'm really idiotic at the controls and combinations of moves/actions. I even thought, at some point "I should go online and see if there is anything about this." =-=; but I persevered! Yeah... but I have 60-70 percent of the story mode to complete. At least I unlock a few characters in the process. ... yeah, about 5 hours of play on that story mode. [altogether, not straight on, silly!]
I really like listening to "Why have I fallen in love with you?" from DBSK. It's really calming and the acappella [I don't think I spelled it correctly] is amazing.
The opening ceremony for the olympics were awesome! ^-^ It was really creative and I have much respect for all those who were in it. It must have taken much effort to master the moves and do it all simultaneously [...I'm not really up for proper spelling at the moment...]... It created an amazing effect! And the person who made it all [whose name I was not very clear with...] must have been under lots of pressure but the final product/result, awesome!
I've been watching a lot of the gymnastic events and some swimming. It's interesting. :/ That type of career is really difficult, huh? But the reward is great... unstable in terms of knowing if it is ever acquired, though.
I'm tired. Good night.

It's a week into august. Somewhat. 7 days is considered a week. So that, it will be.
Today was alright. I find I have, still, a short temper and am rather... easily aggravated. But, no matter. I went to the first day of "Vacation Bible School" at my church. It's okay, as long as it keeps the kids in a positive light and out of trouble. ^-^ It's a little lame, but it's free and welcome to all. I'm a volunteer in this normally 5 day program. It's shortened but with still all the events. I like the crafts. The food is... not of my favorites... The drama runs high, in some more than others. Not as a direct assault, but it's always going to hit hard somewhere, no matter how light the words. I can learn from an experience like this. And gain a few knick-knacks on the way.
SM [global] auditions are soon. I didn't even think that it would come this year. It's in mid-late september. But all factors considered, I think it will be difficult to advance in this audition. I don't plan to go into such... even if it would be nice. ... Nice isn't it, though. The result, maybe, but the process and trying to get progress in such a business is not in all aspects "nice". I do not know the whole story but enough to convince me that I should gain talent if I want to throw myself to even show up. :/ I don't sing well.
School is not even a month away. I'm hardly aware of my surroundings.
The music keeps me going.
It's awkward without rhythm and beat as constant in my mind and my ears.
Is that strange? I don't think so. But maybe when I'm not conscious of music, I may think different.
I think too much.
- Mood:
contemplative
It's an awful feeling. I don't want to be a nuisance... or whine and talk about myself... but I feel like that line has been crossed. Impressions on others ...
I don't know what else I can say.
There isn't anything to say.
I know, I'm surprised too. And goodness, I'm out of shape. Blunt... but I know it's true. I really have to watch my calorie intake. ^-^ Especially since I have time to focus away from academics. I'm glad that I didn't realize and learn how to get fit-er through some wacky way. I've been watching "what not to eat" constantly and all this other stuff. But I'm glad that... I was able to realize on my own, even if it took a few people a few times of nagging for me to realize.
I really need to know the proper crunch form. My neck kind of hurts.
My brother's car broke down.
Or was already broken. Something about the whole battery or engine or something being used up/broken. I don't know. But I hope that he finds a good way someway. :/ It's a lot of money to replace whatever that is broken. Like... 2500 dollars. And 900 dollars for a used one, only guaranteed for 3 months' use.
Have you ever had the feeling of being hated?
Or had the fear of being hated? :/
Well, I really feel like that nowadays. I try to be myself... but I find myself falling for whatever other people need me to do or do favors for others. I know I'm not the only one but I feel like it's taking over my mind set and life. I really fear being hated or despised or anything. I do care about what others think of me. I'm disappointed in myself far too much and I really don't know what to do anymore. I feel like I have to be dependent on another for choices.
That's something I want to get rid of. I want to be able to not be sorry for the actions I think are right... and be able to stand up for myself... with my own personality and opinion.
But what the heck. Is such an action directed because I want to be liked or some sh*t like that? I don't know!
We are all molds of a lot of different people's traits put together, right? We're influenced by what we hear and what we see. If we don't see or hear anything, we won't have anything to talk about and thus have no opinion, right? The amount of things we see or hear of effects what we think about most... or what we prefer.
Well... we are all just mirrored images of each other, more or less. What we like in another person is something we hate in ourselves. It all depends on what we like and hate, seriously... I suppose.
I don't know. I'm just rambling. And generalizing too much. Silly me.
Eh. That's all.

^-^ The results of the blood test came back. Negative for all types of hepatitus and under the radar of having high cholest. But it's too close, in my eyes. :/ It's only a few points away from being over the top. So I'm going to have more focus on the health of my body- more than the looks. I'm really grateful, though. I'm on a path to rehabilitation from my old eating and physical ways....
Gosh, the whole statistics thing really are true, in some cases. :/ The majority of people I hang around are not overweight but it kind of shocked me... the state I used to be in. I mean, how could I let myself go so much? When I see places that don't have as much as I and many people I know have been able to have the experience of or opportunities, I feel... it's really sad. Because not everyone can mold their lives into that in their location. And there is this growing feeling that this kind of situation is not just a minority or small area of the world. It's pretty widespread.
Also, I revisited my past in a lesser fortunate part of town. :/ It's not dirt poor but it's not the place you want to be outside alone, often. I'm really judgemental, nowadays. I remember when I used to go to this small discount store, I used to find a lot and wanted more than I could have, there. It was really nice, to me. But now that my perspective has been widened and matured [not mature, but more than what it was], all I could think about when I went back "I could do better than this. I could/can find better than this". I didn't find a thing I liked there and everything I touched made me feel dirty... like I had to wash my hands after.
Eh. I don't know how to respond to that.
Be aware of global warming, on a side note.... completely unrelated. [I was watching a DBSK mini subbed video about awareness of global warming... it was short and sweet in a sense but, really, take it seriously!]
When you are able to get natural light through windows, open the blinds/curtains and let that light in! Don't turn on an electric light when you already have that bounty for free outside. Turn off lights when you leave a room [even if just for 5 minutes] and any rooms that you aren't using.
If you can, try to get all plugs into one.... electric multiple outlet strips [it's like.... a bar thing] and at night, when it isn't in use, unplug that outlet strip. Electricity is still flowing even when the device[s] is/are off! Unplug from outlets when not in use for long periods [preferably].
When brushing your teeth, don't let the water keep running. Maybe use some cup, instead of allowing to keep the water running [and being wasted].
When you're warming up a shower [if you do], why don't you get a bucket and save that water for plant-watering. (:
If this advice only reaches a few people, then I'll be happy enough. ^-^
I've been watching a bit too much Sara Snow. :P I love the garden on building roofs idea, though. Geeeenius~

Y'know, I thought it would look nicer with a lot of posters and decorative stuff... but it looks so nice plain. It's so simple. I basically bagged and boxed a bunch of stuff animals and books and posters... and then distributed it all around the house. Haha. Mostly the garage. I hand-me-downed some toys to my nephew and niece.
And now that the walls are mostly bare and that it looks like I don't have a lot, the room feels more bigger and comfy. The sunlight coming in throught the window "bounces" off the white walls and make the room glow a little. And I feel a lot less.. y'know stress. Especially since my family is all "nice room" when they pass by the open door. -giggles- So yeah, I'm much more focused! Wooo.
This morning, my sister-in-law gave me a target bag of completely new [and cheap-ish.] school supplies while I was semi-awake. And I'm really glad for them. ^-^ I have a lot of kiddy school supplies, regular no. 2 pencils and some funky led pencils [not mechanical], pink erasers, sharpeners, glue sticks, mini highlighters, and a neon bag to hold it all in. But at least my mom doesn't have to spend as much money on school stuff this year. :/ I'm a bit hesitant to ask for a graphing calculator, though. =-=; Despite these new things, I also want to shop in the convoy area to pick up a few cute stuff. I might just leave the neon bag at home. Dunno.
My appetite has shrunk, really. :/ The clean room has it affects. Maybe because I woke up too early. Haha. 7 is considered early to me, now.
I want more music.
I feel like walking around. My cellphone is gathering dust.
I've regretted a lot of things in the past... and set many goals, but I have a feeling I'll be able to achieve some things this year! I feel really confident and I feel like... I've gone through enough mistakes to progress through life more carefully. I'm not going to be perfect but better? :/ Yeah. (:

And, my gosh, I actually teared up. At what? The thought of the chance of meeting any single one of them upfront is ... really little, in comparison of all the fans out there. And even worse, since I don't have Korean blood. It's weird... that I'm more interested in that media. Is it because they're handsome? Haha. The world may never know. Of course I'm aware of music in the U.S., though. But I seem to more be in favor to look up to Korean artists. I teared up also.. because during the course of both listening and reading about and of such artists... I felt touched.
I am really really happy that the thoughts and affections of fans actually got to those artists and were replied to. I think that's pretty cool, what UFO town does. I think I understand the sincerity to their fans... that Korean artists have. I mean, in America, all we see our celebrities doing is bad things... or at least that's the focus of it. But the conditions, even being well known, of being a Korean artist... it's not as fabulous at the beginning. These fans are so committed to them. A little too committed... when they advert from their studies and such... but committed none-the-less. Even fans that do not know the language fluently are willing to send care packages and such. ^-^ I think that's really sweet. And I'm happy that they are being appreciated for all the hard work and things that they have to miss out on sometimes to be the best entertainers and performers they can be. Yeah.
It really puts into perspective the condition of some trainees right now. :/ Or even some recently debuted groups. I hope they're all in good health and doing well. ^-^ They may be facing things that I'll probably never understand or go through, but I hope they have the strength and confidence to pull through despite obstacles and difficulties... without overdoing or really overexerting themselves.
Hehe. That's just what's on my mind right now.

Raw thoughts don't exactly make up a beautifully worded entries. So don't mind the unfinishedness of it all.
Summer is half over.
Yeah, I'm surprised too. And I'm awfully tired. I couldn't get to sleep last night- not that I had anything I was excited for.
Today, church starts early to welcome the new pastor, because the previous pastor was... promoted? Something like that. But I'm a bit tired after the 7 hour sleep. And then like last weeks goodbye sermon to the previous pastor, this week we have a banquet afterwards.
My room is really ... messy. I always say I'm going to clean it up but that doesn't happen often. Hm. I should get to that today.
I realized last night, there are only about 4 outfit I wear constantly. And I thought my wardrobe was pretty big. It's all junk, though. I really have to get some things donated. D: Amazingly, I have more outfits for sleep than for going out. Hehe. =-=; I like to feel comfy at home.
My diet is going horrendously. I was reading this paper that the doctor gave to my mom for me to get my blood tested. It was marked to test for all the hepatitus diseases and cholesterol. I pray that I don't have any of the hepatitus... A, B or C. Gosh, I'm really an idiot.
