It's always harder to blog when everything's going right. but it's nice to live it up and enjoy it a while. Posts get boring too, when you post about useless stuff like what you did during the day. Down the the very last detail o.o I mean people's days are interesting, but not every little thing [x

I feel like I've been neglecting my private blog :[ haven't posted in forever. I guess that's kinda good though (: Trusting people is nice when you actually can. I seriously have to find a guy best friend or something though --x explanation for that later. If I ever think about it again. It's really depressing though. So hopefully no time soon (: because that can't be a good thing.

We had a cute little homeroom rep meeting during lunch today >_> and Improta was giving me a freaky stare >.<>

Mini-Rant (:

Ever try practicing singing when you can't let your family hear, because they definitely aren't going to give you any positive feedback --x kinda depressing. I really want to though, cuz I haven't heard myself in a while and I'm afraid I'm getting worse [x and I really wanna be in spring musical.

thanks for reading~

p.s. Sarah go post :O :D

Syrup Water

Today was the first day of waterpolo :] and I was right (for everyone who read yesterday's post). My pecs, shoulders and biceps are gonna be soooooo sore tomorrow D: but I'm just afraid they're gonna grow >.> cuz I don't wanna bulk up any [x it might give me a good excuse to get new clothes though.

I'm really debating wearing my trunks. cuz they're really good drag. I mean REALLY REALLY good drag o.o I was almost last though >.> in Varsity. Andrew Kim went all leadership on us though >.> the Junior. I've seriously never been this sore >.< wait...I take that back. Nothing's worse than a 200m IM [x so nvm. but still. I really have to start training again >.<

So our first game is on Wednesday, and surprisingly it's AWAY :DDD so I'm really excited. plus it's advisement schedule, and Coach Paul said we should be on the bus at 1:00! which means NO 6TH PERIOD :DDD oh dang!

I made a new friend today sorta o.o I forgot her name though >.< so that kinda sucks, but I'll probably see her again on Monday. Gaby knows her and she goes to Cerritos. I think her name starts with an A (: and that's all I know.

You know I played goalie today? --x I blocked like 2 out of 7 xD but better than nothing. The cerritos girl shot like 5 of them [x the 5 I didn't get xD I think I prefer being in the court/pool/whatever.

I really hope we don't totally embarrass Paul :[ cuz he's a really good coach, or would be, but he's not given much to work with. I love how he's a big softie on the inside (: I love those ppl.

I'd also like to warn you guys that I'll probably complain about polo for a week or so cuz yeah. it hurts xD but it kinda doesn't matter cuz I don't have classes with anyone --x

and his locker was bare...

First day of school (: can't complain. Wasn't all magical and happy and whatnot, but I'm happy w/ my schedual.....sort of --x What is there to say that people haven't said already? That's a trouble with blogging. =/ I'll find something :]

So there are these people that I really like. They're called my friends, of which I have little to no classes with --x and here's a list.

-Alice Zuo (0)

-Joe Lee (0)

-Sarah Zhang (0)

-Pauline Yang (0)

-Michele Bolanos (0)

-Isabel Chua (0)

-Aviral Bagla (1)

-Archie Ravi (1)

-Tiff Liu (1)

-Mary Ogawa (1)

sighhhhh.........well if I haven't told you already I have an almost identical schedule with Judy...

So I ended up taking an hour nap today o.o after I got home. I really didn't think I was that tired, but I guess I was. Now I'm scared for Polo xD cuz if I'm tired from doing nothing....then uh oh [x maybe I should eat lunch o.o I should experiment with that :D and make charts and everything. and completely waste my time (: darn, that's something to do during the summer :[ too bad.

btw thanks Alice for reminding me about Pandora :D I still have 30985 songs I need to download listed on there.

Lord of the Flies is expensive --x I just bought it for $15. I think I'll order all my books in advance from Amazon now.

Fierro's really not as bad as people say she is o.o but today was the first day so........yeah.

I don't like Hall, but I think I will. kinda freaky how I know that (x

what should I decorate my locker with? I think I'll make my blog public again o.o cuz I kinda like comments [x but I don't get any cuz it doesn't show up on the dashboard. we'll see.

p.s. AVI BE A MAN AND WEAR A SPEEDO D:

Reverse Pickup-Lines (a.k.a. Dump-Lines) (:

Ever try making some up? (: it's kinda fun when you're in the mood for it. Here's a mean one.

"If I had a dime for every time you said you loved me I'd throw it right back and tell you to shut up." (not very good, but you get it)

Soooo guess what? :D I watched ANOTHER movie today. It's called The Code, and it had Morgan Freeman and Antonio Banderas in it. It reminded me of Wanted. The one with Angelina Jolie. anyway, it wasn't very good >.> (HA SARAH!!) The plot was pretty interesting actually, but it was very dirty...and evidently boobs are considered R, not NA-17 >_> which I found out for all you good children out there. (Alice probably already knew though). I think they cussed too, but I've been hearing so much lately it kinda doesn't even register anymore --x

So today was my Aunt's birthday (: I have no idea how old she is, but my dad does, so I'm glad someone does =] My only other white relative besides my dad. How depressing :[ but my dad promised that someday he'd show me his cousins O.o so they'd be my.............iono you tell me [x

Avi finished his movie today? I think, and had a celebratory dinner at one of my least favorite restaurants in Cerritos, but he was kind enough to invite me anyway (: thanks Avi. but unfortunately I couldn't go. :] I think I want to make a movie myself. A documentary of how Avi has changed since the day Emily Chang began walking the halls of Whitney. (; hehe.

Fun may happen tomorrow (: we shall see.

~Chris

p.s. Alice, I still think you should come up with a better plan ): I don't like your other one.

p.p.s. Sarah, if you ever used tags, you'd know that they alphabetize them for you (;

"Me, I finish things."

So I watched Gran Torino today, and it was REALLY REALLY good (: a lot of profanity though, so I wouldn't suggest it to people who tend to act like the movie they just watched (yes it happens.)

really though! it was soo good (: well, I say that about most of the movies I watch, so I guess I'd be a pretty bad movie critic. but on the bright side, I enjoy movies when I see them =]

then I drafted that ^ and went to go......do something...I can't even remember o.o

and then I had to draft that ^ cuz my dad wanted me off the computer --x so I'm up at 4:30am for no real reason. so yeah (:

oh, something funny happened to me today (:

So this girl called me to tell me she's going to call, and then she doesn't call x] ironic? or is that the wrong word for it?

Schedules, Schedules, Schedules. they're everywhere. I currently have 0 classes with Alice and Sarah, so I'm kinda afraid to exchange schedules anymore --x I like just going to classes and seeing who's there :] but I am not sure if I'm that patient. on the bright side, I got a good locker =] not as good as Alice though >.>

Did you guys know Raymond Lin can drive? :D and he's pretty good too. which reminds me of another funny thing. So, Key Club is doing TV tapings? and they get some money from it, and 7 SENIORS are going, and they all don't have rides. [x isn't that sad? that'd be depressing if senior year I didn't have a car to drive :[

bye now~

p.s. Come back soon Joe :]

"It's like the Swiss flag, only switch the colors."

That's pretty much what's been on my mind recently. That and some other people, but mostly this.

I really think I would have done a lot better job if I hadn't been in Taiwan >.< but it should turn out OK (: just with a low amount of sophs. I really like responsibility though. iono it gives you energy :] but it stresses you [x because you want everything to go well. I just reread this and realized how vague it sounds to anyone who's not Alice XD so here's an explanation. I'm director of Human Resources for Red Cross Club, and I'm in charge of bonding activities, and we're having on at Huntington Beach tomorrow/today (August 28) and I'm pretty much coordinating everything with Shalu & some help from Nandini(you dont' know her). and we have to go to Costco tomorrow to buy stuff. (x

I can't sleep either, but that's because of my spontaneous afternoon naps --x. I slept from 7-10 on accident today...that's how bad it is.

ohoh I have another question. (:

What the heck are animal fries? o.o or something along those lines. cuz people kept talking about them (mostly Alice and Erin), but I'm curious what they are. They are from In-N-Out :/

I get to stay at the beach tomorrow for 9 hours :D doesn't that sound fun? except 5 of them are going to be alone...not so much fun anymore. :[ I hate it when I'm alone, because I have nothing better to do, so I think, and thinking when you're alone is not a good thing, because then you overthink everything, and your imagination goes crazy, and plus you're lonely so it really stinks. I'll try tanning? but I don't think it'll work too well. (x

Home is where the heart is.

But I have two homes, so does that mean my heart will always be torn?

Back in the US now, but anyone who reads this anymore knows that already (:

I kinda miss it there =/ mostly the moisture [x but the food, the cheapness, the carefree-ness. It really felt like a vacation (: buy what you want (except shirts, which is like THE WHOLE POINT D: (rant to follow)), sleep when you want, eat what you want. it's nice.

The plane ride back wasn't as good as going. I got one seat, next to some guy and his kid. You know kids get better food on planes?! D: it looks more friendly. and they get pudding :[ I was jealous. anyway, watched X-men, Ghosts of Girlfriends Past, and Star Trek. Ghosts was actually pretty good. I liked it (: the brother almost made me cry though :O

There really is nothing to do back home though. I've been really busy and kinda stressed with Red Cross planning, but other than that there's really not much else to do. I talk to Tina a lot [x and have resorted to playing Maplestory --x I'm hoping to meet up with Avi and Paley sometime next week though :] so that should be fun. Guy's night out >:O only prob not gonna be at night xD Tina and I planned a beach trip too, so hopefully we can do that :D

Welcome home Sarah Zhang, and good luck reading through all my boring adventures in Taiwan (: the e-mails were kinda interesting, but I can't post about those (;

I'm really out of it though. I loved just being so free in Taiwan, being immature, being stupid, having fun when nothing's funny. Now I get to come home and be serious and do stuff right and concentrate. What a bummer. :]

~Chris

p.s. one last thing. Don't you hate it when people tell you they miss you when they don't? I mean, why do they even bother saying it if they don't mean it, and you're not asking for it?
