Winterball Changes People!

Music Commentary: Dude, seriously. This song just describes everything thats going on right now. I'm pretty goddamn confused about stuff, and it's been causing me to ignore the last steps of my UC Apps.

Anyways, Black Friday was definitely a killer. I realized how useless this sale is, cause I spent as much as I usually spent on clothes on regular shopping days. Next year, I will definitely not go to Black Friday. I'd rather just go shop online. Besides, I'll be in college next year, which means I'll have a credit card to shop online! woo!

Alot of things have been bothering me. Well, mainly one thing. Alot of which is tied to Winterball. The stupid dance seems to be changing people, and causing quite a bit of useless "drama" within the school. I am also a victim of this upcoming event. This event has brought me into a situation that requires me to face a difficult decision which is result in much regret, despite my choice. Nonetheless, I have made the decision already, and I am just waiting for the right time to come. I just hope that the consequences for my choices will not be that severe. (Sorry for being so vague on this entry).

Final note. Twilight sucks. Don't watch it, don't watch it, DON'T WATCH IT.

Music Commentary: You know there's always that person you think of in the past, when you hear that certain song? Well, guess what? This is one of em. It seemed like just yesterday, but a lot has changed in the past 3 years. Fairy tales, Musicals, Fantasies, The What If, Music, and the Change. All these are summed up in this song, and this basically sums up that nostalgic past. Sorry, I'm being cheesy. Good song though!


Money is indeed evil. I somehow survived today with only one dollar, just enough to get myself a bag of funyuns. Anyhow, my birthday is coming up, and I think I found a location for the party, thanks to BLac. His uncle owns a restaurant, which has a kickass upstairs private room. He offered me to room, which fits approximately 50 people, a DJ system, all you can eat food (did i mention it was sushi?), drinks, and they're open until 1am. Holy cow, that's a great deal...except, it sums up to approximately 1500 dollars. That's about 30 bucks per person. I am planning to charge 10 bucks per person already, but this is still alot for a teenager. I really hope I can somehow afford this.

To add to my fees, I have winterball to worry about as well. I already saw the first wave of proposals come by this week. It seems everyone is rushing to find that person and ask them to winterball as soon as possible. I, on the other hand, seem to be procrastinating these things. It's most likely because of UC applications that causes me to procrastinate about winterball. Although I haven't put much thought about it, I already have that special someone in mind. I am about 80% sure that I will ask her, and I have already figured how to. I really hope she doesn't get asked, or my plan turns for the worse. I also found out something big might happen tomorrow, but not to me. Although what might happen tomorrow might make me depressed, I really want it to happen. It's an opportunity to focus my thoughts more.

Its strange. Recently, I feel as though I am completely different from my old self. I feel as though I am much more annoying to myself. The things I do without thought seem to me as though they're what I usually don't do. I really hope I don't become something I hate.

Twilight Craze

Now Playing: The Christmas Song - Owl City


The song is The Christmas Song by Owl City. Seems like the popularity of the band if slowly growing. Since Christmas is nearing, this is something that seems proper to get the mood going. Enjoy! (I really want to do this song for winter concert...this or My December by Linkin Park)

Every time I hear a bunch of girls talk, there is usually a chance of them mentioning something about Twilight, especially this week. I have no idea what the story is about, only that it has vampires and werewolves. Some girls are actually in love with the main character, from what I've heard. It kind of gets me, when they fall in love with a character created by a writer, that has no physical entity. Twilight is just yet another item that falls in the category along with Jonas Brothers and Michael Phelps. It's humorous to set aim away messages insulting these things. So far, I've gotten over 5 IM's from girls regarding my "Twilight=Lame :]" away message. Very cool.

So instead of going to watch Twilight on its premiere night, I went to watch Bolt's premiere (In 3d!). Definitely worth watching. It has its comedic and its adorable moments. I would say it is comparable to Finding Nemo (which they reference during the movie). I highly suggest going for 3d, although it hurt the eyes at times. It makes it almost 3x more realistic, and the glasses they give you are quite fashionable! I love the pigeons in the movie the most. *SPOILER* Different pigeons appear throughout the movie, for each state that Bolt stops by. Every pigeon holds stereotypical traits for that state. Unfortunately, Californian pigeons are shown in a really homosexual way. It's hilarious, but quite sad that our state is the not-so-straight state. *END SPOILER*. I'd say this is way better than Twilight, any day (which I have not yet watched :]).

Horrible morning today. Took the biology test, which I failed in (13 out of 34). Ouch. I took the Statistics test, which I did fairly decent on. The rest of the day went by unnoticed. Today is definitely a day that I will probably overlook in future-reminiscings, except for some key happenings. Tomorrow will be a wild day. Tim's birthday outing, as well as my nephew and neice's. How fun.

If Only The World had One Perspective.

*Warning: Rant Entry*
Ever met someone and believes they were a certain type of person, but over time, seemed to morph into someone completely different? Yeah, I hate when that happens, and yeah, I think its happening to me :/. It may be paranoia, or it may actually be true, but whenever I realize someone is completely different from their true nature, it really makes me feel disappointed. Ironic, because right now in Senior Seminar, we are reading Macbeth, and a strong theme in the play is "Whats fair is foul, and whats foul is fair". It really gets me, when I can't see a person's true self, but then again, I guess there's that paranoia inside all of us that makes us think we're not really seeing someones true self, and over analyzes certain things.
*End Rant*

Today was pretty...disappointing. I sat with Angeline, Steven, Alex, and Hansen at volcanoes in an attempt to study Statistics, but I found myself unable to do so. Despite my efforts, I just couldn't start studying. That kinda made me frustrated. Also, my birthday's coming up, which means I gotta plan something. I hate planning celebrations, especially because you always know that there's always a screw up in the process. Alot of things are really bothering me tonight.

I need a super soaker.

Now Playing : Universal Mind Control - Common



People raid my house way too much. :/. So i went surfin' for a super soaker just to combat the forces of house raiders. Well, turns out there's alot of them. Some kids are just crazy (like the one in the picture). I think the best was the Super Soaker C4100, or something like that. I swear, I need to get one of these.

So my birthday is coming up in approximately 29 days. Dang, and then I'm gonna be 18 years old. Amazing. I feel like a old sack of crap. My cousin and I are trying to plan out a party, by renting out a place and hiring a DJ, but alot of places are booked. I've asked around, and the only place that seems possible right now is an American legion post in Alhambra. Yeah, an American legion post. They're the same guys that took me to boy's state. I wonder if that'll give me a discount or something, heh. Hopefully, if i can find the location, then I can start of the decorations, catering, dj, etc. I hope this goes out well.

Everything has been alright recently (First post that has something personal in it!). Seems like something great is going to happen, but then again its winter. Winter has always been the time where I find myself in a new relationship with someone. It's been a pattern for the past 3 year so far. Bad thing about it is, it usually ends up with drama, pain, and regret by the end of January or February, if I'm lucky. For some reason, I've been inclined to change how I act, recently, and I'm not entirely sure if its for the better, or for the worse. I could say it's because I'm growing up, but then again, It seems like I'm growing down too. I just hope It's for the better. I've also been able to resolve much of the problems that I had previously faced a month or two ago, which is good! I just hope this winter will be memorable, for better or for worse.

Pollute the Sky Much?

Now Playing : Cue The Sun - Daphne Loves Derby

The picture sums it all up. The sky was pretty bad today. It felt as though it was twilight, all day. I did not even bother to go out, that's how bad it was. A fire during fall. Wow, imagine this upcoming summer! I want to get the hell out of California as soon as possible. Especially with the expectancy of a huge earthquake! California is going straight down to hell, at this rate :/.

Recession Sucks

Now Playing : Bouunce - Timbaland


It pretty much sucks to realize how broke you are, and how little you can do about it. It kind of hit me tonight, after finishing my essay for Senior Seminar English. I hit the ctrl+p key and then the window popped up telling me I was out of paper. Absolutely no paper. No plain white sheet of paper for my essay to print on. I went around the house to look for some, but no luck. I then had to resort to scavenging for paper in homework binders from previous school years. After I found three sheets (just enough to suffice), I was greeted with yet another message. I was out of ink. Not a problem! I have three printers! Unfortunately, all three were out of ink. So, I went looking for some ink, but no luck again! After an hour of scavenging, I gave up and asked someone to print the essay for me. I hate asking people to print things for me. Why? Because it annoys me when people do the same to me. Sure, it only takes a couple seconds, but now you're responsible for bringing their work to school, and making sure it's correctly formatted and everything. It's really a pain in the ass.

After dealing with the lack of school supplies, I looked over a list of financial debts I had to pay off. The list was endless. Acappella Fees, School Supply Fees, College Fees, Drivers License Fees, Food Fees, Friend Fees, Club Fees, Christmas Fees, Clothes Fees, blah blah blah. I would estimate that I need well over 2 thousand dollars or more to pay off all these, temporarily. It's nearly impossible to find the money to pay these things off as well! I have a savings account, which would only pay off half of the debt, if anything, but it wasn't intended to pay for these debts! Also, work is impossible to get now, especially with 7 classes, and 4 clubs to maintain. Talk about a stressful senior year! I guess you can say the recession totally hit me hard. Let's just hope financial aid kicks in soon, and helps me enough to get by.

The Taboo Word is Winterball

Love In This Club Part II - Usher feat. Beyonce & Lil Wayne


You know it's coming, and you know you've been making a list. I'm not talking about Christmas, but rather Winterball. It has often popped up in my mind about this annual event. Everyone gets so pumped for this event, that it seems to me that it has the ability to change people. Its quite common for a person to consider several people as potential dates, half a year to a year prior to the dance (unless you're already set with someone). Now once you've found your potential date, it's time to build a relationship with them. Notice that the driving force is already caused from Winterball. Now, it is also common to see people completely change personalities as this huge event draws near. Within the week of ticket sales, its quite easy to notice that some people become much more "open" to their peers. All this just for a 5 hour night event. Quite interesting. I'm not saying that I am different from these individuals, but rather, I'm trying to point this out. Winterball. . . it sure has alot of power over people.

Anyways, joy! Tomorrow is late-start, but unfortunately I have zero period. That means breakfast time for me! I'll be gone at sixth period as well, because of ASB Winterball Committee Meetings too! To top things off, there's a drill tomorrow. . . a very long one. So basically, a late start, which shortens class time, plus a really long drill, which furthers shortens class time, and another plus from not going to sixth period equals little to no school! What a joyous week!

House Raiders & Late Night Cafes

Now Playing: Miss Independent - Ne-Yo


It's been on my mind for awhile now, and I guess I finally got around to making one. Yet another blog attempt, made my yours truly. If I were to count, I'd say i made about 5 or more blogs already, all of which were abandoned. So what makes this blog account so different? nothing at all, but one can try.

A four day weekend, just what I've been looking for. It seems to me that this is actually the first time I've actually gotten days off from school. The past 4 four days felt ... unreal, or rather, unnoticeable. I guess you can say it passed by so quickly, and in such a subtle way, that it felt as though this 4 day weekend was quite short.

Does anyone ever get that strange feeling when friends come over to your house unexpectedly? Its the feeling that you are obliged as the host to entertain your guests as much as possible, by offering means of entertainment through movies, games, etc. It pretty happened to me. Its quite strange, whenever friends come over, I cannot simply continue doing what I usually do at home, be it using the computer, playing guitar, playing the piano, or watching TV. It's as though people have come over to observe what you do. It was quite weird, but I'm not saying it's bad to have friends over.

Cafes are great, especially if you go to one late at night. I think that's what cafes are meant for. Its been a great way to socialize with friends, and eat a late night dinner. I don't know about you, but it seems to me that you put more feelings into your words during the night. Just my opinion.
