From Starbucks

So there's a "planned power outage" on my grandmother's block -_______- Cousin and I decided to go to Starbucks to get sum free internet. Woot. I alwayss forget to bring my laptop charger -__- it was fine for the first hour because I actually have some battery life on this Dell Latitude D610 but it went out eventually. Thank goodness my cousin's HP laptop charger works for me too. hehe.

Today should be the last day of moving!

Almost

Almost done with the move. Thank fucking heavens. I can't take one more nosebleed. Seriously, I've had four within the past week. That's more than I get in a typical year -.- It's stressful. But it's almost over.

Then again, I guess it's other stuff that's been stressing me out, too. Like scheduling Universal Studios with FBLA kids..we had the perrrfect date where everyone could go and had rides and shit and then..-.- date change! And then date change again! And then potential date change! See, thing is, this week is so jam packed already that I can't keep changing the date back and forth because..I'd have to, in turn, change the other plans too. Supposed to be DMV appt on Thursday, and then work and lunch with an old teacher and my bro on Friday. I was going to reschedule Friday's "workshop" (the tutoring job) to another day this week so I can get my hours - I was going to talk to my boss today about it. But all the date change shit happened like a few days ago so it was all still up in the air by this morning so..couldn't do it. And THEN, last week, I also completely forgot the Universal was supposed to be this Friday so that's when I already had to reschedule the lunch. When I realized the conflict, I called and rescheduled already but I just left a message and she hasn't responded yet. So then when people were all let's do Thursday for Universal instead, I was like..okayy, kinda good since I have two things on Friday anyway - I'll just do a walk-in at the DMV..but aiyahh.

Thanks for reading the above rant. Jeez. I'm hungry ):

Fucking MOVE

I swear, I'm gonna throttle my mother soon enough.. Moving is such a bitch when you have to do most of the work. Fuck, I'm so exhausted. STILL not completed moved out yet. Got a shit load of crap in there.

And, lols, I'm back to sharing a room with my brother at my grandma's house. Old times.

Before I started packing for the day, went out to lunch with my cousin to Wood Ranch and..haha. Embarrassing. Friendship is allllll I'd like. Anyways, when my mom found out we went out to lunch, she pissed a shit. She is getting more and more uptight as the days pass.

My two guy cousins also came by today to help move stuff from my house to my grandma's. But there was a long period of time where we had to wait for my mom to finish packing whatever she wanted to be moved. So we uncovered my old air hockey table and played..haha. Schooled my cousin for the first few shots and then it became a time. I miss air hockey.

Anyways, I've got work tomorrow and I STILL have graded their papers yet..fuuu. See, now grading it wouldn't seem like such a drag if my boss would just give me the answer keys..it feels like it's too late to ask her for them now, though.

Can't waaaaaaait to leave in three weeks!

Damn the shit

I can't help it. I gotta whine and complain about this horrific dream I just had.

It was DISGUSTING.

And what sucks is that I remember EVERY single detail of it like I always do. Fuuuuuuu.

Never have I wished to forget a dream. Never have I hated my ability to remember all of my dreams. TERRIBLE.

I could be overreacting but..this really is terrible since I remember everything.

I don't even want to tell anyone the details, much less even the people who were involved..

I can't wait for the day where the dream just becomes a fuzz ball.

This makes me want to puke.

It's Official

I have mooooved out of the dollhouse. AT LEAST until the remodeling is done and I'll be back for winter break.. =/

Pretty much all of my stuff is now at my grandma's house and my mom is making me stay here for the night since..yeah, I'm pretty much packed and shit. My mom still has a lot of her own closet to clean up which is why she's not here, too. It's okay though, I guess, my cousin lives here, too.

I have a new laptop! (8 Well, it's a used laptop but still better than my brother's old Acer Aspire. It's a Dell Latitude D610. The model is from 2005 and the only problem I have with it is the stupid hissing you hear when you plug in earphones, the mouse is a little laggy, and the keyboard (although it is quiet) a little difficult to press on. I'm sure I'll get used to it though. And..YES. A computer with BATTERY LIFE. lolols. I'm still taking my desktop to school, though. I don't think I'll be able to do much graphic design on this laptop without slowing it down. My other brother took a look at the system info stuff, he said I won't be able to load a bunch of 'crap' on it, lol. Fine with me, I'll be using this to work in bed or around campus for essays and stuff.

Oh, one thing about my grandma's house that I will definitely not mind..CABLE TV. We stopped our cable like a month ago. I'm so glad I have access to cable now :)

lolol, I also treated my brother to food for the first time..haha, we were at In 'N Out and at first, I thought I was just gonna get food so I pulled out a ten but then he did, too, and when he was about to pull out his wallet I was like "here, I got it" and he was like "oh, for once?" hahaha, it kind of funny. I love working.

Hello, Tuesday

Ten Thoughts!

1. I am dreading the stay at my grandmother's house while ours is being remodeled.. not that I don't like the house is just that it's going to be very crowded.

2. So many people to see one last time before I leave in August but SO LITTLE TIME!

3. I looooove my family :) Not just my 'rents, brothers, and sister, but my cousins and aunts and uncles as well! One of the benefits of being the baby of the family is that even when you're already 17, you are stilllll the baby! So everyone just wants to take care of you :)

4. I can't wait for Universal Studios with the FBLA kids.

5. I found an old movie ticket stub from 2005 - I think it's Andrew's - the movie was for Harry Potter at 7:10 PM. It was only $6.50. That's the freaking morning show price now!

6. I really need to do P90X again..I stopped because of all the shit that needs to be done for the move =/

7. I am loving the fact that I have a JOB. I also miiight have internship as well. We'll see.

8. I am thinking about going to Wood Ranch for the lunch with my bro and my 8th grade teacher?! My former teacher is treating as part of her grad gift to me..and I don't know what else to think of that I would reallyyy like. 'Cause I am craving some baby back ribs..or their sirloin steak salad. And some sweet potato fries. And maybe we'll say it's one of our birthdays..hahah.

9. I can't fucking wait for college.

10. Ten thoughts that are worth publicly posting are really hard to think up of. haha!

Newport Beach

Since we're suddenly NOT moving anymore..mom let me and Andrew go to the beach with our cousins. Wooot, it was fun :) I actually went into the water, too, and rode the waves..kind of. haha I didn't stay too long in there, I wasn't wearing a swimsuit bottom, just underwear and shorts. I was afraid it'd come off T.T and it didn't :)

DUDE THE SAND IS SO DIRTY. Mostly 'cause we sat around a pit and the sand was just dirty from all the coal and shit but..there's a bunch of other shit in there too. Like bits and pieces of seashells. It wasn't the same area of the beach that we went to the first time..which was cleeean. lols, we were between A St and B St. And my cousin parked at freakin' L St..lolol. Had to walk ): It took us 30min to get to her car! But it definitely did not feel that long since we were also house browsing, haha. The houses are very nice. I will own a house in Newport one day.

I'm exhausted and I have work tomorrow morning. I was so exhausted I actually fell asleep next the pit..good thing I woke up beforee they threw in the empty pizza boxes. haha. Laventino's! Yummy foods.

Today was a nice break from all the packing.

The Big Move

It's 4 AM and I JUST finished packing/cleaning the house for the day. Woke up damn early at 7 AM to get shit ready for donation pick ups for 8 and..they never came -.-" I scheduled the pickup online but it apparently never went through even though I got a confirmation email and everything. So they're coming Monday. But we'll be gone by Sunday..

Watched the Psych season premiere in the morning online and then my boss picked me up for work (lol strange sentence). Hehe,my kids are soooo cute. And. PAY DAY. My first ♥ haha.

After work, went with my two older bros to check out their apartment that they're getting in August. They're still renovating but even then, looked kinda shitty to me.

Got home, did a little more cleaning, and just chilled in my mom's room where there was AC. Holy fuck it was so hot today. Didn't start cleaning/packing again until like 8 PM when I woke up from my three hour nap.

Took down the bunk bed, cleaned the living room, packed up my desktop computer, and moree. Actually did a lot today and there's a lot more left! Gotta pack my dad's stuff. And all the electronics. So much to do.

Movers come today, taking all our huge furniture to my grandma's house.

My feet reallyyy hurt.

I will reallyyy miss SG. And this dollhouse.

Out With the Old

So, it is official, my fambam is moving out of the dollhousee. I started packing my room last night and did a lottt more today. The living room looks lightly emptier and I threw a shitttload of crap out of my room and into bags ready for the donation pick up tomorrow morning.

Confession: I am kind of excited to see the house empty.

Confession: I am really going to miss this house. It kind of breaks my heart that we're moving. I've lived here for about 9 years! See, I wasn't really that upset over our first move when I was in the 4th grade because..I was so little and I don't remember most memories that I had in this house. I wasn't attached to it. I still love the old house but I really love this house, too. I like the fact that I live so close to school and..that's kind of part of my rep isn't it? The girl who lives in the pink dollhouse right next to school?

It's not thatt big of a deal, I guess. Since I'm leaving anyway for UOP mid-August. I just won't be able to come back to the same place where I essentially grew up. <--does that make sense? lol

Work tomorrow and then more packing! My room still has so much crap in there that I'm barely half finished.

I'm in love with Mashall Mathers's voicee. Eminem on repeat ♥

Ignorance is Bliss

My take: ignorance is only bliss if ignorance stays as ignorance. The bliss turns into either regret, guilt, anger, all three, and/or whatever else negative feelings when the ignorance has become realized.

For the past ten months, I have been living in ignorance. Just now, I have been enlightened, rather harshly, I must say, by the cold reality.

Three days. I wonder what will happen.

Insanely Hot

I hope Stockton isn't this hot..

Today, Taryn was supposed to pick me up for tutoring but by 10:10, she still wasn't there so I figured that she probably forgot? So my bro just took me. And then, 5 minutes after we left, my mom called me saying that Taryn came.. lol other than my brother being annoyed, it was okay though. I got to Taryn's just two minutes before she and the kids did (she took the kids with her to go pick me up). It was so cute though, when she got out she told me two things:

1. Your mom is so nice!
2. The kids were like "This is her house! I see her zebra shoes!"

haha SO CUTE. 'Cause I wore my zebra print Keds on Monday. In the second group of mixed younger graders, I said to 3rd grader Katelyn: So I heard you saw my zebra shoes? She replied: Yeah, I saw your zebra shoes! I thought you were home because I saw them. They are sooooo adorable. I am so blessed to have a great group of kids. :)

Afterwards, went to Kmart and did some dorm shoppingg! Just bought some storage boxes, bedsheets, and a comforter. And then Super A Foods after. hehe. Cute boyy who worked there. LOL. Then went to my grandma's house and hung out with my cousin while we waited for Andrew to pick me and my mom up (we were using my uncle's car earlier).

Again, today was insanely hot. And it's supposed to be like this for the next few days. Ladies and gents, Summer is here.

Harder Than I Thought

Last night, I got a call about a job posting on care.com that I responded to..I had my first day of work today! Wow, my FIRST job. And I'm tutoring elementary kids in math..haha. It's a lot harder than I thought though. Algebra, Algebra 2 (maybe), Geo, Trig, and some of Pre-calc I can explain. But..serious basic math? Like long division? Was totally out of my element today because I wasn't prepared either.

At first, today was supposed to be kind of like a interview type thing and know the material but just decided to start today. I work for a self-employed teacher. She used to teach at a private school but then decided to leave and start her own kind of thing at her casa and has been doing it for at least five years. And the kids have been with her since they were in kinder! It's a small group though. So while she's do reading comp with one group, I math tutor the other. My first group has five fifth graders and that's the math that I'm having trouble teaching..T.T The second group has two second graders, and one fourth and second grader. They are sooo adorable. And I hate to say this but..the boys are more advanced than the girls..haha.

The pay isn't amazing but I'll live. I'm pretty excited. hehe.

Eminem

I just downloaded a bunch of Eminem's hits and..they are reallyyyy good. I'm listening to it right now while I'm designing more loveasc cards and I don't know whether it's PMS, the fact that I really love what I do with cards, or if it's Eminem's songs but I'm kind of emotional right now. Actually, the wave emotions hit me early this morning while I was trying to fall asleep like around..5 AM? Of how much I'm really going to miss my current friends when I leave for UOP. Of how much I really miss FBLA, actually, because..damn, I'm going to miss the conferences! And, of how much I really miss my old/former friends.

It doesn't seem like they care that much so..what can I do? I certainly can't fall back into old habits no matter how hard I try. This is just one of those situations where I can't forgive or forget or even ignore. Forgive..maybe, actually. Depends if I feel like letting go the grudge I've been holding these past months. It's so weird because I don't usually hold grudges for long periods of time. I'm really good at ignoring! I just can't this time.

Fun Stuff

Today, I played online Monopoly, Risk, Scrabble, Draw My Thing, and Blockles for fourr hours with FBLA kids Nami, David, and Erik, all the while, talking on Skype. haha. It was a lot of fun. Especially with Nami drawing..LOLOL. Omg. So much laughing. Hahaha. I want to play Monopoly again.

I just finished Day 6 of P90X - Kenpo X. Jeez, it's like self-defense class..learning all these kicks and punches. It's a lot of fun though, time passed by very quickly. Right after, FACE MASK :) Man, feels SO good!

Tomorrow, not sure if I'm gonna be hanging out with Melissa, Daphne, and Cathy. I hope I dooo. We were supposed to go hiking but no car. Boo. So hopefully, we can have a baking cupcake day. It'll also be fun stuff. If not, there's always the beach with my cousins next weekend to look forward to.

AND I WANT TO WATCH DESPICABLE ME! I hear it's really kute.

FULLL

1. Omg, I'm so full. Just came back from Ono's and had their kalbi short ribs..sooo good! And then went to Yogurtland had just a little of their mango and pistachio flavors..soo good!

2. I'm really excited for my "new body" when I'm finally finished with this P90X bizness. I looked at before/after pictures of women with P90X and..YAYY. Excited (8 But it's going to be excruciatingly tough. I started yesterday and I'm pretty damned sore.

3. I'm also really excited for the UOP MOVE trip! Just got info in the mail today and was looking at pictures online..hehe it's going to be mucho fun.

4. FBLA is really great and all but..I think I need to stop with my section-officer tendencies..which is alwayss networking and talking. I really need to tone it down. I guess I really am the "social butterfly" that Crystal Sitt calls me? Sure, it'll be helpful for the start of college with making new friends and fitting in but..idk. Now, I'm slightly uncomfortable with it. I have no idea why.

5. I WANT TO WATCH DESPICABLE ME! It's so adorable! I want my own minions and I want to have an Agnes go "IT'S SO FLUUUUUUUUFFFFYY!!" hahaha. I like Disney & Pixar :)

6. I'm pretty damned bored. So bored, in fact, that I am struggling to come up with ten thoughts for this post.

7. Last night, after a tough P90X workout, and showering with my "Mango Mandarin" shampoo and conditioner from Bath & Body Works, I cruised around Rotten Tomatoes and read movie reviews. It's oddly satisfying reading rotten tomato reviews for The Last Airbender. I feel bad for Shyamalan because everyone is hating on him but then again..it was a terrible movie. And now, if there is any kind of movie review that I am going to read, it'll be from Roger Ebert.

8. I won't deny it: I miss my partner in crime.

9. I can't wait for Universal Studios with Linxi and FBLA co. :)

10. I'm going to use Facebook less for now on.

Just CRAP

Thank you M. Night Shyamalan for the shittiest movie I have ever seen. Barely after the first five minutes of Katara and Sokka, I wanted to leave the theater.

The movie lacked personality from the actors, lacked depth, acting SKILLS, DIALOGUE, and definitely lacked a climax. At the end of the movie, Aang, Katara, and Sokka weren't a family. Hell, Sokka and Katara weren't even siblings - not that they ever were. It was just a bunch of people riding a purposeless flying biason with a meaningless flying lemur.

I would love to get all nit-picky about the horrors of The Last Airbender, but frankly, I'm just going to get angry all over again. One thing I will say though..

The fight in the North between the Fire Nation and the Water Tribe..if firebenders actually need fire in order to bend it..why the HELL didn't the waterbenders JUST PUT OUT ALL THE GODDAMNED TORCHES? -_________- And that stupid little scene where Iroh bends fire out of nothing (which is how it is originally)..ridiculous.

And..OH! What the hell was with Aang and the avatar state? I understand that the movie will have to be different from the original story but..the fact that Aang can't enter the avatar state on his own is a huge factor in the plot. However, you've made it seem like Aang DID enter it on his own.

The screenplay was terrible. The actors were terrible. And the special effects were nothing worth going gaga over. All this movie is is a bunch of nice pictures wherever bending is involved.
