I think that I enjoy that name.... atleast for a week so it will be that or Caucasian - Asian.
So I am going to start replying to blogs from way back when.
Yeana- I know what you mean about the music. Thats how I feel when I sing. When its good music, you know what to do naturally, the cresendos and decresendo and fortes and what have you, to me, its my 'piece of art' I can do whatever I want with it to make it mine. And about picking music: there is a thing in New York State called NYSSMA. Its basically a program where they score you on your ability. You pick a piece of music from Levels 1 - 6 and sing it for a judge, they score and critique you. NYSSMA was on May 1st this year I did very well, but thats not my point. I had my NYSSMA piece for this coming year picked out by my birthday on the 5th of May. Its a Emily Dickenson poem and its not that hard a pieece for me, but its contemporary. I know the words, I know the notes, but I still have to make it mine... just a thought on your blog.
Tracy - you have changed and impacted mine and all of our lives too. And the fact that you googled low fat lard re-affirms that for me!
Wendy - I hope your friends aren't being boobs anymore (my 7 year old cousin used that word in a sentence and I thought I would give it a try (: ) That man is stupid what happened to being polite? I don;t kow, but it needs to come back! And I thought that you watched Chinese dramas? Do you have them on DVD or its it a Taiwanese/Chinese HBO sorta thing? I am fascinated and rivited!
Yeana - That guy, in my opinion, is a perv-ish man and needs some help, not only because your name ISN"T Hannah, but becasue what he did, was NOT OKAY! I am glad that you raised money to send people to your camp, it sounds balling (yes balling, with a 'g')
Wendy - How can you tell if someone is Chinese, Asian, or Korean or Japanese? I don;t have the slightest idea, but then again I feel like this is one of those asian things that a caucasian - asian will never understand. Anywho - whats his name? And hows that coming? I also appreciate your use of BY GOLLY aka '50s lingo! Oh, and you are not lame...
Yeana: I love you A LOT. And I hope that volleyball is going well
Tracy!: Ok, you worried me so badly. I thought that you were like dying in a hospital or something becasue you kinda dropped off the face of the earth. So I was a tad concerned about you. anyways, I very much like you metaphor from the sisterhood of the travelling pants. It's ery clever, but we are better than them because we BLOG!!!!!!! And they had a while lifetime to get to know eachother, we had 10 (count 'em). 10 days!
So I haven't blogged in a while... I could read all of the blogs from my phone, because by george, some amazing human decided to put a cell tower up in the Adirondack mountains! Yet, I could not respond or blog from my phone, in my opinion, that is not ok. I had a good week, it was long and tireing, but good. I was up until like 2 every night, but I got to sleep in.
Basically, I got up, played in the water with twin 3 year old boys and a 2 year old girl. Fed them, nap time!, wiped their face and noses, and did misc things - i enjoyed it. The 2 year old is the cutest little girl you will ever see! She is caucasian, but she lived in China for 5 months! Just thought you should know.
The lake is one of my fave places on earth, it gets boring, but it holds a lot of good memories for me!
Ok I think that is it, I just thought that I would let you know that I had a good time in the Mountains and am back and safe and what not!
Love Ya Girlies!

oh gosh.
i've been so negligent of our beloved blog D:
i've been wasting away in my room playing a video game (radiata stories on the ps2, it's an rpg (: )
i find it rather impossible to actually be bored, cause there's so much random crap to do O:
but there's too little time in simply one day ;__;
recently, my days and nights have been reversed o__O i can't sleep at night, but after i ate brunch (breakfast/lunch at 11 XD ) i found myself dead tired and just flopped out on my bed till 5. which is bad. D:
after logging on just to see whats up, I HAD NO IDEA WHY IN THE WORLD I DIDN"T GO ON EVERYDAY. i miss you guys all the more, i found myself laughing outloud at yeana's posts, and gosh wendy, I MISS YOU :D
i hope rosanna's having a killer time @ the adirondacks > 3 <
so, wendy- cute guy, AND he's asian, and it's CHINESE asian. when you go to china, do you spontaneously combust from the abundance of asians? (;
i miss you so much, reading your post i felt like you guys were right next to me > u <
also, today i happened to watch the sisterhood of travelling pants (the second movie) and i was thinking about how our situations were completely OPPOSITE. they're seperated in the summer, and have known each other all their lives. we met in the summer for ten days. we're so much more kickass.
you guys are like my sisters (:
and this blog is our...pants. XD
i have to say, i like mozart more than beethoven >__< play me pachelbell though, canon in d is so pretty (= u =)
yeana, if that guy ever approaches you again and tries to give you "advice" go ahead and kick her where the sun don't shine. you can always claim that you though he was some pedo approaching you (; cause face it babe, you're hot. never forget that (:
im makin a scarf.
go gryffindor. (;
though quite honestly, i've always been categorized as a hufflepuff/ravenclaw >__<
you guys are my sha's and la's,
my sisters,
and the pants that i can never be without-
tracy.

AZN SENSATION
Hello ladies
Sorry Wendy for not blogging too often. Heehee ^^
I had another very long day today. After writing a scathing blog about my life and what an ass my brother can be, I went off to play some volleyball, where I epically failed due to my soreness from conditioning the day before. I'm still sore, both physically and mentally. Aha.
But other than that, I have more letters coming your way! I meant to post them yesterday but by the time I got them all stamped the postman had already passed by. =.= So they will be posted TODAY! :DDDD Let's see how the postal service over the weekend works...=.= I'm not very optimistic.
My "Project: Confident Yeana" is coming along nicely. Every time I look up on the shelf on my desk I see the bangle that I wore at casino night and I find myself grinning a little stupidly. As pictures on Facebook will tell you, I went to a pool party and had a blast!
In response to your blog about the guy, Wendy, all I can say is HEEHEEHEE!! Does he have a girlfriend? :D Where does he go to school? Does he go to...Land O'Lakes High? BAHAHAHA
Oh, and also in response to your blog from looong ago about the rude man; you should've been like "Yes, we take tips. That nice man over there gave me $20. The lady over there gave me $15." And just like sucked his money away from him MWAHAHAHA
Tracy: WHERE ARE YOU??? ARE YOU ALIVE? ARE YOU SICK?
Rosanna: I hope you're having fun. :D
XO,
-Yeana-

LANDO GIRL...

Hahah. Maybe it's just because everyone else has a life. =P Anyways. I'm disappointed in you guys! I'm so nosy, I want to know what's going on in ya'lls lifes! NOTHING new with me, so there's not much I can say, really.
I went shopping for a little while today, and will probably go again with a couple of my friends. I like the mall we have nearby; it's an outdoor mall so it's nice to walk around and such. :D
Anyways. I really don't have anything to write about. Just wanted to say hi and make sure everyone was alive. But then again, I text you guys anyways sooooo....I'm lame.
Alright, I'm out. Legit. ;)

LANDO GIRL had an interesting day as well...
First off, I'd just like to say LMFAO to Yeana. Literally, I was cracking up while I read your post...ahahahah! I am so sorry you had to go through that experience, it really tested your patience, eh? =P Sometimes we need that in our lives...
My patience is always being tested while volunteering at MOSI. Buttt I'm not going to talk about patience today. I had a rather interesting day at volunteering though...well first off, I made an awesome friend! She's from Tibet (and therefore Chinese...=P) and we have a lot in common. She was my partner so we had a good time together. =) So I met a new friend. I also met an old friend...
A very cute old friend, to be exact...well, he hasn't always been cute. That's why I DIDN'T RECOGNIZE him! :O
Okay so here's how the story goes, hear me out: So a couple weeks back, I saw this new, tall and cute Asian (I knew he was Chinese from the start...) guy come to volunteering. Throughout the whole day, I passed him a bunch of times and he always would look at me. I figured that maybe it was just because I was Asian, he's Asian, get the logic? =P Anyways, so today I saw him again but this time he called out to me.
"WENDY! Hey, so I haven't a chance to actually say hi to you!"
And said some other stuff, I didn't really hear it all because all the while I'm thinking to myself--"Why the fuck is this random guy talking to me?! AND HOW DOES HE KNOW MY NAME?!! I mean, he didn't see my name tag yet...OH WELL at least he's CUTE."
That was my exact thinking...and I'm like freaking out because the whole thing is just awkward. So I leave with a "Oh, hehe...hi?"
IT WAS NOT TEN SECONDS LATER UNTIL I REMEMBERED WHO HE WAS!!!
Old friend from Chinese school...he went for a couple of years and then quit. I hadn't seen him for about a year or so...he used to be short and kinda chubby in the face.
BY GOLLY, he's changed sooooo much. And I'm usually really good with remembering people's faces. So the fact that I didn't recognize him was pretty bad.
Anyways, after our shift, I of course apologized and became all friendly...I felt realllly bad. After talking with him, I felt pretty good again. Same old person as I remember...he used to make fun of me in Chinese school, ya know. Oh those fun days...>.<
He said that at first, he didn't recognize me either, that I changed as well. Huh. Change in a good or bad way?! I'm confused.
Soooo that was my lovely experience at MOSI today. Bahaha. This is exciting for me, thank you very much! =P
Now I'm gonna get all girly and say that I may be attracted to him...Oh jeeeez.
I applaud you guys for reading all of my nonsense. Ya'll are the best!

AZN SENSATION'S Uber Long Day
Hello ladies,
I've had a very long day. After waking up at 6:30, I helped to wash and dry over 100 cars from 7:30 to around 3:00. In that interval, I also had to conduct mass (Catholic celebration of the Eucharist in case you guys don't know...iono.) with malfunctioning equipment (mics, wires, mixers, projectors, guitars...you get the drift).
I learned some things while washing all of these cars.
1) Some people never wash their cars.
2) Some of the above have good reasons. Others are just lazy fatasses.
3) Old Korean people don't give a shit about their cars until the high school kids decide to have a fundraiser. [I think I've seen more dust, dirt, bird crap, and f***ed up paint today than I've seen during the rest of my life]
4) My parents are careful drivers. My dad would kill himself if there was a dent on his car. The rest of the world? Again, they don't seem to give a shit.
5) Some people buy the sexiest cars they can find. It's only after they purchase the car that they realize they don't know how to drive.
Overall, we earned $1150. It's enough to send some kids to our summer camp, which is about the best experience ever. I think we did a good day's work if we can manage to send several kids to the best thing that'll happen to them all summer. ^0^
From about 3:30 to 9:00 I was outside yet again, playing grass volleyball. Here, I met a man whom I quickly learned to dislike. Not only was he a very middle-aged man attempting to play volleyball with a bunch of high school/college students, he was very pompous and extreme. He introduced himself to me;
"S____. What's your name?"
"Nice to meet you. I'm Yeana."
"Yana?"
"Yeana. (yen-na)"
"Hannah. Nice to meet you."
". . ."
During the game, he would solemnly talk to anyone who missed their serve. I missed a serve. As I came up, sore that I had lost the point, he looked straight at me.
"Hannah. I was counting on you. Every serve lost is a point lost."
I smiled with my lips and glared at him from behind my sunglasses. I paid very close attention as he served. He threw the ball up, grunted loudly, swung, mishit, and missed the serve with a loud
"SHIIIIIIIT!"
I grinned.
Several people let the ball drop in front of them. This is understandable; there are no distinguishable places in which to station onesself in grass volleyball: it all looks the same. Of course, he had to cry out,
"DEFENSE FIRST. LET'S GET A PASS. LET'S ROCK N ROLL!!!!!!"
The ball bounced high off of a block. It went straight to him.
"GARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!"
He screamed and didn't move at all. Rather, he sat down on the spot as the ball came to rest right before him.
And so the day progressed. And all the time he seemed to take a special interest in me, as if I were his student and he had a duty to teach his young padawan all of the ways that the force could help one become successful in the straight and narrow path of volleyball. It was rather interesting, how he tried to teach me in something that I obviously knew more about.
Don't get me wrong, I usually have the utmost respect for all people, especially when they're playing sports that they have never had a hand in. I know how it feels. (Me with a tennis raquet = death) But this guy was pissing me off. I mean, I don't mind that he sucks. That's not really his fault. And I can't blame him for being old. But dude, don't frikkin try to teach me with your crappy skills. I most likely have more experience playing volleyball than you.
If anything went right today, it was the money we raised with the carwash and the darker skin tone that I acquired during both the carwash and volleyball.
I'm tired as hell. It's 10:00 and I feel disgusting. I'm going to soak for a long long time to get all of the nastiness off then I'm off to bed. I love all of you.

LANDO GIRL
Hello all! I am BORED out of my mind on this beautiful and sunny Saturday. My friends are being losers and won't hang out with me. Hahah. Nahh, I just feel like everyone's been so "blah" lately. Everyone complains about being stuck at home bored yet they don't get out and do something. It's annoying. Land O Lakes is boring. This is NOT OKAY. Maybe I feel extra bored (I don't normally feel this way) since I had such a blast with you guys at camp. A lot of my friends just got back from camp as well, and they're hanging out with their camp friends constantly now (it was a local camp). I'm jealous. But I can't blame them because I know their state of mind right now.
Anyways, my comments of you guys' blogs...
Tracy--You are so random and happy. I feel like we haven't talked [personall] in a while. Text me sometime. :) Oh, and I think it's always harder for the person who's waiting...because the person who has to return is out there, experiencing something new, and therefore may not be as nostalgic. You know?
Yeana--I love Beethoven as well. But I prefer to play Mozart. I guess he's less angry...well at least in some pieces. Hahah. Maybe I'm biased because I had to play his pieces in BOTH clarinet and piano this year. Lol. Oh, and I love to show emotion in my music as well. That's why I play! Because I love the way that you can easily express yourself through music! It's such an amazing thing.
Rosanna--I hope you're having a fun time with your friends!! We will miss your blogs...=P
Oh! I'll leave on a funny note. So I was volunteering at MOSI, being the greeter at the front doors. I opened the door for this chubby old man (who did not look very pleasant) and welcomed him with my big smile. :D He, in return, asks me if he's supposed to give me a tip or something (this wasn't said in a joking way, the fellow was serious)...I say NOOO, and he's says "Oh okay, good".
WTF. PEOPLE CAN'T BE NICE ANYMORE?! I don't get it.
And with that, I'm gonna go watch my Taiwanese drama. Yay.
<3 Wendy

lard.
yeana, get someone to record your recital for us, okay?
or you can record it :D
hahhah, in a music video for a song, the guy left his cellphone on call on top of the piano and played his song (:
wendy should recognize the song, tong hua :D
i actually googled "low fat lard"
but all i discovered was that lard...is actually healthy. well, maybe not healthy healthy cause face it- all deep fried foods are unhealthy (no matter how delicious...)
but lard that's not hydrogenated is actually healthier than other oils :D
i don't know why, but i thought that was pretty cool...
bananas,
chocolate,
and n o n p a r e i l l e s .
from a very happy me,
tracy.

change bites.
oh yeana, it's not weird to be getting those vibes from people that you recognize from other productions (i think) :D
i'm just taking slow breaths right now and listening to the rain mixing with the sound of chasing pavements by adele.
i have to admit, although i missed you guys like crazy, i didn't know of the empty void that you guys felt when hanging out with friends. but i actually found out super recently (yesterday, i think? i've lost all sense of time and space) that the reason that i was lacking the void of you guys was cause the one person that i've been hanging out with since i returned from DC is almost like a sister to me (she's not asian either (; )
if anything, she was like a drug that alleviated the loneliness that i felt from not seeing you guys
but after being with what i think of as normal good friends...it feels incredibly different. after about twenty-thirty minutes with them, i kept thinking "oh, this is the emptiness. i want to read the blog again."
and...it really sucks.
and rosanna momma, you're so supportive and wonderful- i should really get to studying, huh? ^^
i just wanted you guys to know that you literally changed my life. i can elaborate more on this once we're actually a month into school cause then i'll have proof that i've changed.
oh, and it's change for the better (:
"The moment of change is the only poem"
--Adrienne Rich
i don't have a poem to describe the immense change that you guys have brought to me, but i love you guys- and someday maybe i'll find the perfect way to tell you guys how much ^^
rosanna, we'll be waiting with bated breath for your return (:
is it harder for
the one who's suppose to return?
or the one who has to wait?
tracy.

AZN SENSATION
It is 10:06 in Cali, and approximately 12 hours since I sent all of you a message on Facebook. Since then I've done nothing, eaten, then gone to play some volleyball followed by some light conditioning.
I've also done some researching for next year's piano recital. I feel like the more I progress in piano and school, the earlier I need to start practicing my recital piece. Perhaps it's because I have so little time during the school year that I need to practice as much as possible before school starts and spend the rest of the year just touching up. I don't know. But the recital's a little less than a year away, and here I am, choosing a song.
For the past few years, I've always played Beethoven. I don't know why, but I love playing Beethoven. I'm not one of the flowery, pretty girls who likes playing dainty little pieces filled with tiny trills and nimble notes. No, I prefer power most of the time. Sure, I like the prettiness. I am a girl, after all, and the pretty parts do please me. :] But I'm not like that.
I think that Beethoven blends it all perfectly. He has his tender moments, but he also has that grandiose quality which shows up in his music. He combines the swelling and proud sound that a piano can create along with the quiet and desperate notes that bring out tears in the eyes of all listeners.
Or at least, that's how I aim to play.
I don't know...do you guys get that? Whether I'm singing or playing piano, I aim to bring out the potential emotions that the music has in full. I think there's a difference between playing piano and performing, as well as for singing. You can sing the notes, or you can use every note to bring out the entire melody and its latent power. I don't think I really care about the audience after a certain point. Music, for me, is sort of selfish and vain that way.
For the first few notes I'm all about getting the audience. I hear every movement they make, and worry about it. But once I hit my stride...I feel like it all changes. It's all about me at that point. (I sound like a prig.) I don't really know how to describe it.
Anyways I'm glad to hear y'all got my letters! :]]]]]] Rosanna, have fun at the lake! Wear lots of bug spray...and sunblock. No skin cancer or West Nile! And Tracy, I think it's hard for everyone. (I swear I probably pressed "publish post" like a second later than you. Wait, can we even post two things/write two things at once? This is madness! [no...this is Sparta...hahaha...])
Side note: I was watching A Bug's Life the other day (yay!) and discovered that there's a can in that movie which is labeled: "Low-fat Lard." Does this make sense to anyone? If so, please explain, because I think it's a paradox.

Caucasian - Asian
Hey Everyone,
1st - I wish my blogs were as creative as Tracy's, but I am too lazy to do that - I would just rather to ramble on and complain about life! lol
2nd- Yeana I agree with Wendy, wear the tube top, don't be a shy person anymore, I know that it's hard to do, but the Yeana I know is amazing, and I wish that all of your 'peeps' in Cupertino knew the same person.
3rd - Wendy, don't over stretch yourself (it maybe hypocritical coming from me) but you need down time.
4th - Cynthia I a. hope you are reading the blog, and b. want to hear from you, so write one soon, ok?
5th - This will be my last blog for atleast a week because at the lake, there is not computer, and my phone won't let me blog, it will only let me read them. lmao
To all of my lovely Asians: SATs and the start aof school are quicly approaching. While the parental units will e pissed off to no end if we get like below a 2300, we must remember a few things: 1. If you freak out while studying, you will most likely freak out while testing 2. My phone is always on for those who want to text/vent/complain to me - no matter what time zone - I am here 3. I enjoy sending you stuff, so if you need a 'happy/lift up my spirits' package, I will be happy to send you one 4. Parents put a lot of stress on us, YOGA may help, as well as facebook ( I just made this one up... :p) 5. We are all kinda going through the same thing, so support eachother and 6. I always worry and think about you guys no matter what, if you are happy, I am happy, if you are hurting, I am hurting; its just my nature. oh, and I also enjoy to bake, which is what I am doing right now, so keep that in mind, cookies are apparently a good comfort food? - Idk because I don't like to eat what I bake.
So life's been hectic in many ways: Tonight alone at 10:47 9the current time, not the time I will be posting this blog) I have a to do list that will probably keep me up until or past 3 o'clock am: I have to bake 100 cookies, do 3 hours of college advisor work, pack for the trip I am going on tomrw, do some work for the family company, reply to about 30 emails and messages and wall posts on facebook, print off instructions to the lake for my friends and there parents so that they can get there, and I have to organize my closet further becasue I just got some new storage containers! I probably have more stuff to do, oh and update my schedule, decline party invites, get the kids first aid kit (it had 'fun' supplies like colored gause and character bandaids... lmfao - I know) as well as all of the kids toys and beach things I have, jic its rainy or there aren't enough toys becasue I am babysitting 3 3 year olds.... what fun!
Ok, so kinda got to go, but this is the last post from me in a while. I hope that all of y'all are having fun and enjoying life - Yeana I loved your letter! - and you will all be getting some from me, I will mail them from the lake house when the kids are napping, ok that's it.
Love, miss, worrying, thinking, and remembering all the good times we have had always,
Mommy

LANDO GIRL (AGAIN)
Yeana, I don't think Nap Sounds really works....hahaha. But maybe I was just super tired when I did it myself; I just slept right through the 20 minutes. And napped for like, 3 hours. LMAO.
Anyways. YAY! Yeana has a life! Hahah. J/k, we all know everyone loves you back there ;) Just be yourself and as fun and AWESOME as you were at camp! I know you said you're pretty shy back home...break outta that shell. :) Or, should I say that it's probably already been broken? :P
Okay, so I just had a pretty legit time with my friends tonight and now I'm on a high (NOT REALLY) so I decided to blog...hanging out with them is nothing like hanging out with you guys, though. Well no, I take that back, but my point is that I have different relationships with them and with you guys. BOTH are fantastic though! =D Going out again just made me miss you guys even more, actually...
Anyways. I should be getting some sleep soon. Band practice tomorrow 3-8. But of course, I'm gonna have to be there like an hour earlier and leave an hour later. Lovelyyy.
Have a good night. Love you all.
<3 Lafonda

Hey all.
I was using napsounds to get me out of a zoned-out state today. After the 20 minutes of "napping," I woke up, walked groggily to my bed, and slept for an hour. I have no clue if this is good or bad.
I also read some more of The Founding Brothers today. I find it interesting that I read the third chapter in about 2 days when it took me almost a month to read the second chapter. I also find it interesting that, after the third chapter, I am officially halfway through the book. There's something strange at work here.
Anyways, as proof of a life after NSLC, I'm going to a pool party tomorrow. Yay! I can skip volleyball for a day... :]
I was watching Family Feud today (do you guys watch Family Feud?) and after hearing John O'Hurley (the host) talk for a while, I couldn't help but scream at him through the TV to start singing. He played King Arthur when I watched Spamalot, and did an excellent job. I still get the vibe from hearing him speak. Tell me I'm not deranged....=.=

Hello all! It's a sunny, sunny, and more sunny day in Florida! (Did I mention it's really sunny?)
:P So tonight I'm finally exposing myself to the outside world and hanging out with some of my best friends. Hahah...we'll see how that goes...if they're as cool as you guys. ;)
Yeana, I am cracking down on those SAT books as well. My mom, literally, mentions SAT or AP or COLLEGE in GENERAL every 5 SECONDS I'M NOT EVEN JOKING. Like whenever I sit down and have a nice chat with her, she starts talking about them. Whenever there's a silence at breakfast/lunch/dinner: "Sooooo Wendy about those SATs...."
ARGHHHH >.< Whatever. I can understand her pushing me though. And I am doing a lot of practice tests these days...but it's just so boring... Anyways moving on...Rosanna, you've really got a load of shit to do up there. :( I know you're like SuperWoman, but your parents need to understand that no one can possibly handle that workload on top of school! Ugh...is there anything I can do to help you work through it? And Tracyy...I agree with Yeana, your posts are always so creative and beautiful. :P Btw, I think everyone says beast...it's pretty common...hahaha. So I loved recieved all of ya'lls letters!! You guys will be recieving some from me soon! :D Hope all is well, love ya guys!

To Tracy: Yes, we do say "beast." That's what we call each other on the volleyball court when someone makes a particularly great save or kill. We also use it in everyday life. It's on the other side of the scale that measures "epic fail" and just "fail."
Anyways, I've pulled my SAT books out again. I suppose that's a start. Until now I've just stared at them and not done anything. At least I completed one section today. Whee.
The book of POOP has been especially enlightening. Gross as it may sound, I feel like I could analyze an animal's poo and find out what it's been eating...not that I want to. I just puked a little in my mouth. (ALSKDJFHASKDF;A)
You know what else makes me puke? Looking at these freakin' problems and realizing I have to stare at them for another 2 months. Joy, joy, joy, JOY.
Again to Tracy: How do you have the patience to edit the font sizes and stuff? I'd rather just type away in the same size. I'm not really an aesthetics person...hahahaha. Don't get me wrong, your blogs look awesome, and I do like cute little things and cool stuff, but I don't have the patience to make it myself. Once in a while I'll get these huge bursts of creativity and make something really awesome, but that's very rare...it usually only happens on a school project that I want to make really awesome.
I've become a watermelon fiend lately. Until a few weeks ago, it was all about bananas. Now it's all about the watermelon. Yum...
I'm also watching a new Korean drama lately. It's one of those historical fiction dramas. I don't know why, but those are the only types of Korean dramas that I'll watch. (Usually.) Did I ever tell you guys that I'm a history geek? Because I am. :]
But I don't know if I get legitly tell you that I'm a history geek, because history, when presented to me in a boring way, will put me to sleep. But then again, doesn't everything make you fall asleep if presented in a boring way?
I have to read The Founding Brothers for APUSH, and I cannot get through it. Everytime I pick it up, I either start to nod off, or my eyes just flit from word to word until I've "read" five pages without taking in a single word, and I have no clue what the hell the current passage is talking about. I hope my history teacher for next year will make things more interesting than that book makes things out to be, because if not, I'll end up getting a 1 on my AP test.
I suppose it's time to get back to my SAT book. =.=

i don't really have a title to identify myself with, because i think it's just way too much fun to think of a title XD
so wendy, my asiansensation&hearts
i remember when i saw you log onto facebook, ur email was asian sensation (: i laughed my head off and loved you all the more for your asian pride (; i think we're all sensational, period. hehheh, i just had myself a little laugh thinking : "asian sensation...caucasian sensation...sensation sensation..." that's pretty much my train of though ^^"
rosanna, our dear momma&hearts
DON"T DIE.
really, i think ur gonna kill yourself with all of your work. so what if other kids work 30+ hours. it's up to them! honestly, i LOVED having a schedule that was jam packed with things to do...i miss NSLC all the more for that beautiful schedule ^^" now i just feel...empty? hahhah, or bored, who knows.
but have no worries, if you want to work less hours, WORK LESS HOURS. if you need an excuse, just tell the old family biz that you're worried your school work might suffer from all of the work hours or something (;
love yourself, okay?
yeanababe&hearts
i got your letter today (: it was rainy in newyork this morning though, so it got a little wet (i also got some wet mc donalds coupons for coffee...hahhahXD)
like rosanna's letter, i just stared at the envelope for a bit all nostalgic...&hearts
"WHAT A BEAST LETTER!!"
then it occurred to me. i texted you saying that your letter was beast.
but...do you say "beast" in cali?
afterall, i remember wendy's revelation in discovering legit XD
so i was just wondering. or maybe. it's just me.
XD
XD
i'd rather say i love you,
than i miss you-
because they mean the s a m e anyways,
tracy.
p.s. i think i fixed it all (:
p.p.s. never mind. i only did damage control before. NOW i think i fixed it ==" but i figured "&hearts" would be a doable replacement for the heart sign. which tends to mess up my post ;__;

than i miss you-
because they mean the s a m e anyways,
tracy.
p.s. i think i fixed it all (:
p.p.s. never mind. i only did damage control before. NOW i think i fixed it ==" but i figured "&hearts" would be a doable replacement for the heart sign. which tends to mess up my post ;__;
Caucasian - Asian
I guess this can be my title from now on... unless you guys have any better ideas :)
So today is Tuesday. It has been a week since I have seen you guys, but it feels like so much longer. I miss you guys so much.
Anyway, I am supposed to be going away with xome friends on Friday, for a week, I am not a confrontational person, but I really don't feel like I will know what to talk about. As Wendy said, I feel 'out of the loop'. I know that sounds pretty weird, but its oddly true. I am not sure if any of y'all feel it too, maybe its just me, but I just feel like I have come back with a different point of view.... I guess that's life.
So my days consist of going into the office - woo-hoo to the family company! -jk it kinda sucks. In the office, I help with the marketing aspecgts. I get the bulk mailers out and label until my little fingers are sore, and then I label some more. Because I am in the family, during the school year, I work from home, I only put in about 7 or 8 hours a week, but yesterday I found out that they have decided to double, if not triple my work load. I know that a lot of kids work 30+ hours a week, but I don't know if I can put in 20 hours on top of school work and extra-cirricluars and community service, SAT Prep, Dirvers Ed and college advisor meetings. It doesn't seem like there is enough time on the day. But I feel like if I don't I am going to dissapoint my family. I am sorry that I am venting in this blog. It's not okay that I am.
OK: I understand that college advisors are good and crucial for my livelihood on getting into a really good college, but sometimes, they pshyco-analyze you and make you feel bad about everything that you do. No?
Anyways, Wendy, I don't know what you could get him for his birthday, what are his hobbies... maybe if you start there, or talk to some mutual guy friends - that maybe a jump off point.
Yeana - I am glad that you play volleyball, and I want you to be safe on the court. My brother and a lot of my friends play, and I don't want you to hurt yourself while on the court, there are already enough ways, in my opinion. <3
I legit can't believe its only been a week, its very surreal to me. I love you guys!

LANDO GIRL
I think that'll be my name from now...since Yeana took asian sensation. You know, I actually use that nickname for myself all the time (its even my email) and my friends always make fun of me for it...I don't really understand. :P
Anyways, it's from ONE AM here and I CAN'T fall asleep. ARGH. >.< My throat's feeling a little better but I still feel like crap...
Sooo I made plans this week to hang out with some of my friends. I really want to see Harry Potter, but the problem is that most of them have already seen it...haha. But luckily my good friend Curtis has decided to go see it again with me! Only problem is that I recently confessed my liking for him this spring, and so going to the movies with JUST him might be kinda awkward...even though we're good friends. But still. Ugh, boys and life in general are confusing. (Oh BTW, Thursday is his birthday and idk what to get him...any suggestions??) Like I was telling Rosanna earlier today, I feel like I've been so out of the loop. It's weird, I feel too detached from even my best friends these days. Some of them didn't even bother to ask about camp. WTF. I don't really get it. But idk, I think it's because I always hold too high expectations for my friends...sometimes I get disappointed.
Well, I hope I can squeeze in at least a little bit excitement this week. Whoopie.
Hahahah. Anyways, I love you all. I'm going to attempt to fall asleep again. :P

AZN SENSATION
Hello all,
I think the only thing that I don't miss about NSLC is food. I love my mom's food; it's filling, it's delicious, and above all, it's healthy and full of fiber that keeps me lean and lookin' good. :D At NSLC I had to make sure that I got my veggies so that I wouldn't get super obese while I was there. In fact, I was so careful that I didn't eat enough and ended up losing 5 pounds. (Not that I'm unhappy about that...) Now that I'm back home with my mother, she makes sure that I get enough of everything whilst eating enough to maintain my weight. (I haven't gained anything back; YAY!!!)
I'm starting to notice a tiny pocket of fat on my stomach that's starting to jut out. I suppose it's time to get back on the ol' treadmill. I've been lazy for about a week. My cardio health level is probably at a negative. This cannot do, especially because of the hell training that my coaches will put us through in the first week of the season in order to whip us back into shape asap. After 5 minutes with them, I always feel like my lungs have been ripped out, my throat is in shreds, and to top it all off, I want to puke. Not a pleasant feeling at all.
I need new volleyball shoes!!! The pair I used last year have no traction on them at all...I'm skidding around the court instead of getting a firm grim. I might as well be playing in sockfeet. Hopefully I'll be able to have more time on the court this year rather than on the bench! Sigh.
Anyhow, to Rosanna: I'm going to keep my title as AZN SENSATION for all of my blog posts. It can be sort of like an identification tag; whenever you see AZN SENSATION you'll know that I put it there. :D
I love you all!

You guys make me happy.
Seriously...when I read the posts you guys had written after mine, I almost cried. :P
First off, Tracy...your little stories about fireflies and the friend from FL makes me sad and happy at the same time. I'm sad that we're so far apart now, but I'm happy that you still think of me! :) And Yeana...those four hours...I get you, Lakisha...hahah. :P Hope you're enjoying that amazing Cali weather; at least one of us isn't sweating like crazy. *ahem*
Rosanna; don't worry, your randomness is totally okay! Hahah. And idk why Cynthia hasn't blogged yet! I told her about it yesterday...I don't think she has read the message that Yeana sent her.
Anyways. Today was an okay day. Went to Church, sold our minivan (lmfao), chatted with friends, and watched Push! Have you guys seen it? It's a pretty good movie. :D
Tomorrow should be interesting...I'm going to help out at Vacation Bible School in the morning and then straight to volunteering until 5. UGH.
Oh! And I talked to my dad, and he's gonna let me use the computer downstairs for skype (with the mic that actually WORKS) so if you guys wanna vid chat anytime soon...just text me. :)
Just wanna let ya'll know that I constantly think of you lovely ladies...everytime I look down at my wrist actually. Stay beautiful and keep on blogging!
<3 Lafonda (that's Wendy, in case you get confused...)

Random thoughts of Moi!
First - I never know what to put for the title, so you will get random titles from now on!
So today is Sunday... and yesterday, I got your letter Tracy. It made me smile! I have sent letters your way, and if I do say so myself, they are definetley legit! (and I can't spell)
Yesterday I was at a friend's lake house for her 16th birthday party. While I was there, I realized that I very different from when I left. Is it just me, or when you are with your friends is it surreal to be there? I don't know if surreal is the right word, but it is the only one that i can think of at this moment. I feel like I missed out on a lot when I was there, but in a way they don't really grasp reality... whatever.
Yeana - I love you and your tactic of getting rid of pesky bugs. Tracy - I wish I had fire flies where I live and I love you; why did you name it butters (your fire fly) becasue of Land O' Lakes. Wendy - your welcome and I love you.
I have really done nothing since NSLC and today I am helping my grandma with some random stuff and organizing my closet. Are you surprised , becasue you should not be!
Yeana I saw your comment and I appreciate you.
Why hasn't Cynthia posted anything.
I know this is a random blog post thing, but I am a random person!
I love all of you, text me if you need to
- Tracy : YOU ARE NOT A BOTHER.... my phone is always on
oh, in about a week, I may not have cell service becasue I am away at my lake house... or internet. Still text and blog or fb or whatever its called becasue there is always that chance that they finally put a cell tower up in the Adirondacks!
Oh, and Tracy - ease your worries about the whole we won't reconize eachother... we will probably be texting and realize that we are in the same place. It won't ever happen!
Love to all of y'all - I posted my NSLC pics on facebook.... enjoy!

Oh Tracy. :]
I got your letter today. It made me smile. ^0^
Anyways,
Hello, ladies. It's a gorgeous night in California. The breeze is coming in through the window but the bugs are staying out, thanks to the screen. And if a particularly bug flies into the screen and scares you? No prob. Just spray some of the body spray that you don't really like at it. Works every time. :D
I spent four pointless hours "volunteering" at the hospital today. Why was it pointless? It was pointless because nobody in this part of California comes to the hospital at 8:00 in the morning. And if they have a reason to go to the hospital, they go to the hospital itself, not the office building where I'm stationed. So I basically sat there, by myself, doing nothing for four hours. I feel like I'm making a great statement about society today whilst making a contribution. HOORAY! (No wait; I was reading about Voltaire and Candide while I was sitting there. How appropriate.)
"Whilst." What a great word. :D
I get to go to church tomorrow!!! Surprised? Church is the one thing that I look forward to every single week. If I have a family at home, I also have a family at church, and I have a family with NSLC.

fireflies.
today, i was just surfing the internet (who knew there was so much to do online when the internet speed is actually going at a NORMAL pace? i love fios. <3 )
anyways, i get a call from a friend who's outside my house and i go out for a few minutes.
the four of us head to the park right by my house to hang around the swings for a bit, and passing by the handball court we saw a couple of teenagers playing handball and my friend comments "I wonder if we know any of them".
but the thing is, it was getting really dark, to the point that we couldn't see their faces.
so we continued swinging merrily (:
so i was thinking (oh no!)
what would it be like to be walking on the street, and one of you pass me by- but neither of us notices?
i'm decidedly terrified that something like that could EVER happen. D:
i just wanted to mention that.
XD
today my sister's friend from FLORIDA came over for a sleepover, i knew this.
yet, when i opened the door to say bii, i saw dark eyes, long hair, and this dark tan on her that was strikingly similar to wendy's gorgeous florida tan. i almost tackled her with a hug and cried.
good thing i didn't, huh?
i think i saw this with yeana, on my carry on bag i had previously scribbled all over it. on the day we were leaving, i noticed that i wrote on it with sharpie:
distance makes the heart grow fonder
but you know what?
we're all already so fond fond fondely fond of each other that i don't think it's even possible for us to be fonder.
so screw you o-wise quote from my hand bag. distance can kiss my ass, because it's impossible for me to love you guys anymore than when your right next to me to, well. what are you, a couple hundred miles away? (;
by the way, i saw a firefly
i ran after that firefly
i caught that firefly
and i named it butters.
i then let it go.
i love you guys,
tracy.
p.s. what do you think are the chances of me catching that same firefly again? i was rather fond of it. :C

Hello my beautiful 5th floor ladies! How are your weekends coming along? Though Friday night was pretty sucky, today was MUCH better. Thanks to Yeana and Rosanna for those talks! :)
In response to Rosanna's blog...girl, I know exactly how you feel. Number one, about the friend thing. Yeah...my friends would NEVER understand our experience at NSLC!! Some of the them don't even bother to ask me about it so...ahahah. Kinda bugs me...anyways, even though we do not "see" each other every day now, we're still managing to keep in touch and talk constantly, aren't we? Let us agree that whenever one of us is having problems to call the others or SOMETHING, okay? <3 you all.
And tracyyy...ahaha leave it up to you to make your blog all fancy and creative. :P I absolutely CANNOT wait to recieve your letter!! Keep blogging, kay? :D
I'm going to go to bed early tonight (meaning not 1:oo in the morning...). Gonna play tennis early tmr morn. Yay? :P
Keep smiling, girlies. <3

Why does there have to be a title?
To my Asians:
I agree with Yeana and Wendy. My friends don't and won't ever understand. I think its because we havc all been thrown into a social situation and had to create a world for ourselves, and in this world, we went to eachother for guidance, comfort and support, and then we were, essentailly ripped out of this world( and from eachother) that we all loved, because we had to go back home. I know that I will never be the same after the 10 day 'nerd camp' that I attended during the Summer of 2009, and I will not forget all of the relationships and bonds that I have created and will keep with people around the USA. But when my friends ask how the trip to D.C. was, they don't really care, and I know that. They are only asking out of courtesy. And don't get me wrong, I love my friends with all of my heart, but they have no idea what we have all done together, and they never will. In a way, its a good thing, its a part of me that they will never really know, but I wish, in a way, that they did know who I was/am. What we all did and went through together is amazing, and means the world to me; but I feel guilty about something: At home, if you are hurting or something balling happens in your life, I am the friend that will bring a batch of freashly made cookies over at 11pm and talk to you about it, but I can't do that with all of you. The best I can do is send you some cookies, and comfort you via skype, facebook, texting, or talking to you on the phone. I know this is more than a lot of people get, and I am lucky to have that, but that is not the type of person I am. I need to physically be with you when crap happens and yeah, it kills me that I can't.
I don't mean for this to be a sad note/blog thing but its what I am thinking and isn't that what blogs are for? You all know that I am always here (and if you don't by now, know that I am) - I will do all that I can for you, and if I need to, I wil mail you baked goods over night.
I have notes coming you way, and depending on your location in our country, they will get to you at different times.
Sending hugs and kisses your way!

I don't mean for this to be a sad note/blog thing but its what I am thinking and isn't that what blogs are for? You all know that I am always here (and if you don't by now, know that I am) - I will do all that I can for you, and if I need to, I wil mail you baked goods over night.
I have notes coming you way, and depending on your location in our country, they will get to you at different times.
Sending hugs and kisses your way!
The days just get suckier (??)...
So it's me, Lando girl. I just got back from four hours of volunteering at MOSI, which is this science and tech museum. Or whatever. The more I volunteer there, the more I find it boring and annoying and STUPID and boring. Did I mention boring? But don't get me wrong, I loveee helping people; it's just that sometimes we have to do stuff that just makes no sense at all. We have to be places where we're not even needed. Jeesh.
So. I miss all of ya'll terribly, as usual. But we have skype!! As soon as I figure out how to work my stupid mic...I want to video chat with everyoneeee! Let's just text one another when we want to.
Reading Yeana's previous blog, I totally agree with how in some ways, I can't act the way I do with you guys with my friends here. I'm sure we all LOVE the people in our respective towns, but perhaps we just have a special bond/connection that can't be replaced or compared with. Idk.
Okay well I have to go do...crap. I miss and love you all (as usual). Let me know what you guys are up to!
<3 Wendy
P.S. YEANA, just leave the color from the nail polish on...that happens to me all the time, it'll wash off soon. :P

From Tino
Hey all,
Greets from the land of the Asians (out of Asia, of course). It's nearly one where y'all are, and only 9:45 here. I feel out of the loop. Ha x4
I watched Legally Blonde again yesterday and thought about Tracy. Then I watched Les Mis and thought about Rosanna. So now I'm watching the Music Man whilst typing this all and thinking about every single one of you.
The ensemble is singing about Iowa. Maybe we should all meet there. Ha x 1242456373452547
I don't know how you guys are going on with life, but it feels strange here. I feel like I was just plucked out of this world and placed into NSLC, then plucked out of NSLC and put back here in Tino, where life just picked up where it left off. I wonder if it'll be the same if we all just met back in AU.
I can't talk to my friends like I can talk to you guys. I guess I didn't know what I was missing until I met all of you. :/
Just as a random side note: I removed my red toenail polish yesterday. It was kind of disgusting because the nail polish had stained my toenails and now they're a funky orange color. T^T My mom says that it'll fade in a few days if I leave it alone. I'm considering covering it up with another color but I don't think that'll really help in the long run...
Loving life and all of you.

Hi From Mommy!
Ok so right now I have entered the blogisphere. I am so confused, as usual becasue technology and I don't exactly mesh.
So it is the 2nd day of not being at camp with you lovely people and I am sad. Family vacation sucks and the only thing that makes it better is facebook, texting, and now a blog!
One word: Skype - I guess you have to download it or something but from then on, you are good to go!
Life is kinda not legit right now: my days are not scheduled 24/7 and it is wierd for me, but like all of you I am once again enjoying a comfy mattress and real food.
Looking at the bracelet reminds me of all of you, but it is still not the same at all.
I love all of you from Cali - to where they eat Land O' Lakes butter, to the heart of my own state. Thinking of all of you always.
All my Love
Mommy or Rosanna
Just for kicks: This blog is so LEGIT!

Hello from Land O' Lakes...
...Where we loveeee butter on our popcorn. ;)
Okay, so today was my (our) first day back...mine was pretty boring and consisted mainly of sleeping, facebook and moping and loafing around. Oh, and I constantly complained about missing camp. I think my parents are getting kinda annoyed...
Anyways. I think blogging is a greatttt way for us to keep in touch! I want to know what you guys are up to, and whatever problems you may be facing. :)
It is past midnight now, so I should be getting off. In Tracy's words, I'm missing my "sha's and la's" (and our mommy Rosanna of course!)
Stay legit, folks. Love you all.

I miss all of you and I'm starting to cry again. For all our sakes, I'm going to stop now.
