Well, I'm a little bummed right now.
So, I'm in La Quinta right now. I'm so glad I'm able to see my cousins, especially because they feel like i have abandoned them. I want them to know that i still care for them and that i'm still here.
Well, we are all here because there is a convention in Palm Springs. I don't really know what it is about yet since I wasn't planning on going to it. This thing starts today, Friday, and end Monday. I myself was planning on going to my own church's worship conference this weekend. It started yesterday and ends Sunday. This has been my plan for about a month now.
She finally told me earlier this week that I can't go anymore. I accepted it and was fine. She said that I can learn new things from this convention and apply it to stuff for missions and LOH. I was fine with that. Also it was to reach out to my cousins here and encourage them to go to the convention.
Now that I'm finally here, she is saying that we aren't going to be going to the convention because it's a waste of $160, since i won't be there the whole time! Now, I could've gone to worship conference for only $20, and would've stayed the whole time.
So, while they are all at the convention, I'll be stuck alone.... or with my mom. Freakin why do i have to take the placement exam! gah!
On top of that, I have my orientation on the 27-28, right before i leave. It is mandatory, but there are so many things i need to do that weekend. I'm suppose to finish packing my balikbayaan boxes, our despedida, and we are in charge of both Sunday services. I can't do anything because of the orientation. I just email my advisor about it, so hopefully i get some good news.
I'm sorry I am so negative. It's just that there hasn't been much good news for me lately.

Doesn't feel like it's all over
Well, right now I am home. It doesn't feel right though. After graduating, it still didn't hit me that i will never see those people again. Oh, btw, i graduated last Thursday. I really will miss everyone, even though i don't feel it yet.
I'm so bummed right now though. I feel like I can't keep both of my groups from high school close. I feel like i have to choose one or the other. I know we are already done, but it's hard.
The same thing happened like what happened at prom.
So, here are the groups:
Group 1: Kathy, TenTen, Victor, Rohit, Romi, Tiffany, Theresa, Daniel A.
Group 2: Chelzie, Jenny, Allison, Gerianne, Madeline, Ashley, Daniel F., Daniel M.
I used to be close with group two in the beginning of HS, and as time went on, my new group became group one. I really love them both, but its just so hard. Grad nite didn't turn out the way i wanted it to. My phone never had signal the whole time and i never noticed. I was waiting for a call, and I too tried calling. I got the grp 2 before we finished and they thanked me for the shirts chelzie and I made. (btw, that took so long, so you better appreciate it.) But i spent most of my time with group 1. After grad nite i said my goodbyes to a few people. Both groups asked me to go out after, but i told them both that my mom told me to go home. So i went home.
I'm kinda grr though. I'm sure i told her. She thinks I went with group 1, (and doesn't say it to my face, but is mad at me) when i told her i had to go home.
I am so glad ER came with me though, I wouldn't have survived without him there.
... Well, now its 2AM in the morning and I started reflecting on HS, and i finally started to tear up. No more 35 minute lunches in the quad. No more Mr. Ramon. No more Key Club or ACS meetings. No more trying to avoid getting detentions. No more going to the library at nutrition and lunch trying to finish typing and printing up either a gov or english assignment. No more waiting for my mom til 6 in the library when i have no ride. No more. No more.
Although I did have some hard times at Granada, I think I will truly miss it and all the people there. And I know things yet unsettled will soon be resolved.
Haha, and the day after graduation, i thought i'd be away from there for atleast a month. Nope, i went there the next day for the banquet. Good Job Eunice! Well, i got a $20 chipotle gift card. woot woot!
Saturday, Kalayaan festival. Went okay. My mom's boss won the Wii and Guitar Hero. Hopefully he'll let us keep it.
Sunday, Pop's party. Lots of Fun. Long Boarding, Peppering (volleyball), Lakers Game, Dirty Hot Dogs. Good times.
Monday, Tennis Championships for Individuals. Dom and Aaron. Silver is NOT bad.
Tuesday, finishing up this blog. hopefully cardio kickboxing tonight.
I need to do a lot of stuff though before I leave to the PI. Leaving in now, 3 weeks. Scary. Am I prepared. I made a list of things to do on a whiteboard so my mom won't complain anymore that she doesn't know what i am doing.
Lets see:
1. Physical
2. Eyes (new contacts and glasses)
3. Health Form
4. Financial Stuff
5. All forms
6. Placement Exam
7. Support Letters
8. Immunization Record
9. VISA
10. Shirts
11. Shopping for PI
12. Orientation
Hopefully (it can't just be hopefully, it must be) I finished before i leave.

Coming to a close.
Yes, it has been a while since my last blog.
So, going back to how everything was, i was saying how excited I am for prom. Now it seems so long ago. Let's just say it was better than I expected. Usually people are so dissatisfied with prom, but for me, even though a few things may have gone wrong, I am glad about the way it all turned out.
Now, I am only 3 days from graduating. I can't wait to get out!!! It still hasn't hit me. It probably will either tomorrow or wednesday that i am not going to see all these people ever again. It's so crazy. I really hope the weather is okay by thursday, because it was freezing today. (Abby is AWESOME.) and drizzling. grrrrr...
dance! until you just cant! keep clapping your hands to the song. - Wise Words by Abby Lara (stolen from Around the Clock by the Rocket Summer)
Man, I cant even remember anything about Freshman or Sophomore year anymore. It all went by so quickly, and now its only a blur.
(oh, i never posted it, now i will, i wrote it last monday, whoops.)

2 Days Away
Prom is now two days away... I want to be excited, but it just still has not hit me. =/
Well, am I ready for it? nope.... well, today, i got my nails done. This is only my 2nd time ever to get a mani and pedi. 1st time to get acrylics. its weird.... anyway, my dress isnt done, i dont know where i am getting my hair done or my make up done. THIS ISNT GOOD. =[
Well, last weekend seemed so far away now... it was great
It my earlier blogs, I talked about finally getting AJ Rafael and Cathy Nguyen to perform.
Well, They did AMAZING at the show. WOOT WOOT! Im so glad they did.
I'm glad the show went well. We made a lot of money... yay!! more donations for Relay for Life.
So, before it began, we had to just prepare a bunch of stuff... Dude, it was DISGUSTING in the backroom... MY GOSH. there was sawdust EVERYWHERE, which i was allergic too. there was wood and stuff for cars in there. Weird props and the most random things there... OH and dead bugs in the bathroom. First me and margaret started cleaning it... then we left... when we came back... =[ I had to clean it alone... dude, i tried to sweep away as much sawdust as possible. I DID NOT want our performers to get allergies right before they performed. that would be bad....
The show started off pretty rough.... I'm sorry, but Downside Harvest... i dunno... The sound was pretty badd with a lot of the bands... even though we did have a sound check. I wonder what happened.
The mics were as loud as they could be, but their instrument's volumes were too loud... goodness... Well, nothings perfect.
So, I probably said how much I love Cathy and AJ and their music.... Well, not in that scary creepy stalker way... you know what i mean... but I was so happy I finally got to meet them... and actually talk to them... not just in that fan to celebrity way, but as a friend to a friend.
It was great! Haha, I was so sad when I wasn't ablt to meet them right away when we got there... I just walked away for one second and thats when they just happened to show up!!! goodness! welll, i made margaret introduce me =] hehe. and we asked they if they wanted pizza and water... When we were outside, i was able to have a convo with Cathy. it was really nice, just being able to talk to her. I didnt talk to AJ at this point much b/c I dunno.
Well, that was all before the show.... Well, while we were all backstage, i was able to talk to some of them. it was nice... hehe, They were in the dressing room a majority of the time though practicing. but its okay!!! haha, i talked to AJ a little and tripped in front of him. (haha, that'd be funny if he read this) and lalalala....
After the show, I asked Cathy if they wanted to go out to eat with them... and she said she wanted to but was unsure... I started talking to one of their friends. She was really nice... It was weird, it is such a small world. One of her old best friends girlfriend is my friend, who I dont want to speak of because of past drama from her. Well, we are doing okayish now, but I still have a small grudge against her sometimes. Anyway, I also asked her to go eat, and said yeah.
As we were all outside about to leave, they said they couldnt. and I gave this super sad face and pouted... haha.. and then AJ gave me his number so i could just keep in contact with him. =] well, as i was about 2-3 blocks away, Cathy called me and asked me if i wanted to still go out! and of course i said YES!
So, we went to Sanamluang!! yummm... =] it was nice, i was able to just get to know them all... i had a great time. It was AMAZING. i loved it sooo much.... hehe... yay i got to sit right across from AJ, and Cathy was right there too. =] ALL OF THEM were soooo nice.
I'm just kinda bummed. i forgot to tell the people there it was my sisters birthday... grrr....
well, once again. 2 days til prom. I hope its great. its suppose to be one of the most memorable things in your life.... so I really hope so!!!

Spring Break So Far
Well today, I am right in the middle of my break. I have two days left of actual break, then its the real weekend... I haven't had much time this whole break to just chill or relax with my friends... I was so glad that I was able to go out today. =]
So I will go in order of what has happened so far in my break.
On Saturday, we had the little remembrance service and party thing for my dad. That was really nice. A good amount of people came over and we had a service and I had to do a special number that i was so not prepared for, but its okay. I had a great time with my friends that day too... haha, i cut ER's hair again, but this time, is wasnt as painful, so i guess that better.
Sunday I went to Mount Saint Mary's for admitted students day. that was alright. my sister and my mom went with me. man, i really hope my mom lets me dorm there, or still even go there.
She's been so anal with me lately. Every little mistake I make, she makes it such a big deal and it sux, because it is not that bad. Everytime i do something wrong, she says how "unfocused" i am, and it makes me so mad, because I AM focused. grrrrr.... gahhH!!! goodness!
So anyway, Monday, I did a quiz for English, I was able to tan a little, and just watched a little TV. that was my chill by myself day. kinda.... and cleaning...
Tuesday, was the take more quizzes, clean the house, do the laundry, study for permit, get mad about Limo, try to figure out limo issue day.
Today was take 5 quizzes, look for limo stuff, get yelled at a bigillion times by a bigillion people, GET PERMIT FINALLY, vacuum floor, clean my room, FINALLY LEAVE THE HOUSE, hang out with ER and FAMILY day!! yay!!! i had so much fun today.
I think i accomplished a lot today. I'm so happy i got my permit, i kept lagging it and i was like today, i turned 17 1/2. I AM taking my permit test. and yay! i passed!!!
I felt so proud of myself for doing how much english work i did. Man, i have
soooo much more to do though.
