ABDC: America's Best Dance Crew- do you guys watch it?

when i noticed that all of you guys posted your schedules, i realized that it might seem odd that i didn't post mine. heh, that's because in my school (for some strange, STRANGE reason...) they don't give you your schedule until the day you go to school ^^"
it's in the specific category that my school's in, that's all. weird. XD

anyhoo~
^i like that word. it's nice. (:

pool.
the place you play pool at IS a bar (technically. they have a bar. they serve alcohol. ehh) but there are different kinds of bars!
there are the bars full of people who drink (don't have a heart attack, i don't go there)
and there are the "bars" that i go to. the place that i went to does have a bar, but they're not silly enough to serve alcohol. they serve bubble tea, french fries, and other random snacks for their pool-players. they also have this sorta second section of the store full of karaoke rooms :D
so it's very asian-fied. much like the pool places for kids that wendy mentioned (i think. XD)
the place that i go to is kinda mostly for teenagers i guess, other than the occasional table of harmless old men playing together. so yeah, super safe, and tons of fun (:

i was really happy that i got to put up pictures (:
i want to figure out how to put up an mp3 O:
cause i really want to hear that a piece from "FAURE'S REQUIEM" that rosanna found :D :D :D

dear yeana,

we love you (:
i hope that made you feel a little better D:
about the whole "hot girls v. other girls: what's so different?"
i must say, i don't really know.
i mean, i get the difference between "beautiful vs otherwise" cause of the whole "beauty is in the eye of the beholder" so someone beautiful (for example kate moss) can be seen as "ugly" (unhealthy and underweight in the kate moss example; sorry-i don't have anything against her, i was just thinking of an example in which someone who didn't change at all was seen differently cause of the change of the public opinion)
but when i hear "hot girls" i feel like it'...it's different from "beautiful".

you know what though?
there are those "hot girls" who are...well, rather mean because of their standing as "hot" and frankly, who gives a damn? i know i do, but i also know i shouldn't bother.
and then there are those girls who are hot and rather decent people at the same time. honestly, im terrified of them. im one of those people scared of being "judged" (a.k.a. imma coward. sorry guys >__<) it's hard for me to make the first move in meeting someone, and if they're not really making much of an effort back towards communicating with me, i freeze up ==" (you can imagine how terrifying it was to take an hour long subway ride back home with a guy i liked who had no idea of my predicament cause he met me when i was being my regular ol' weird self with my friends. im sorry to say we no longer communicate much ^__^" ) so in the end. where'd my advice go? it seemed to have floated off somewhere D: D: D: yeanababe. we love you. we think you're gorgeous. knock em dead (literally- if they dare to disagree with us). wendywendywendy that jerk of a guy must have confidence issues and went with the girl who he felt he had a better chance with (a girl that's not as attractive as you (; ) and if he doesn't have some deep and personal history with her before he met you...then she possibly might have been expressing interest in him in an obvious manner. thus, the male-inhibited by his ego and fear of rejection-goes for the easier prey. and hell, how can a guy flirt with a girl one day, then go out another day with a different girl? i thought guys were suppose to confess to the girl that they couldn't stop thinking of. i suppose that's a bit idealistic.. ? ==" guys claim that girls are too hard to understand. i don't disagree with that, but at the same time- do they have any idea how hard they are to understand?

oh rosanna. our dear mom (:
im afraid that you're borderline workaholic. but if you don't think the same, and you're happy doing what you're doin'- then i'll try not to pop a vein just thinking about your schedule ^^

i must be get more pictures because i have way too much fun just putting them up and sharing them with your guys XD
here are smileys for you all:
:D is for yeana, cause i felt like you needed it the most cause your previous "smiley" was an unsure one >__< style="font-style: italic;">won't be a buffoon cause even if he does have confidence-issues, he'll like you to the point of at least continuing his pursuit of your heart. so a winking smiley cause i'll make sure to tease you lots-
C': is for rosanna, a smiling super hard smiley for our librarian who works so hard cause im ultra proud of you for all of your effort into doing what you want to do. i know you'll do great things and here's the tear i'll shed cause i'll be so proud and worthy-feeling for simply knowing you (darnsit, i wanna include a winking smiley, but it's no fair giving you more than one smiley--and then i just wanted to put that laughing smiley with the X for eyes but that'd be giving you another smiley. gosh, dedicating smileys are hard[i wanted to put a frowny face here])


with love that can't come off,
even with extra strength nail polish remover...

tracy.

p.s. i love you guys, so screw the men of the world who can't see your beauty (how do i make this grammatically correct to include you all? it just sounds so awkward). they need to make a goshdarn appointment with their eye doctor D<

Ditto.

Yeana...the title explains fully what I have to say to your last blog...

Boys ARE stupid.
You know what they do? They go flirting with a girl, which in doing so makes the girl all happy and excited, thinking that she may actually have a chance with him, and then CRUSHES her by OUT OF NOWHERE, going out with another girl.
*This may be done intentionally, or unintentionally...us girls will never know...

What's worse is when the "other" girl is a FRESHMAN and not so attractive...(sorry, i'm being vain)...and therefore the hurt girl has NO IDEA why this guy just ditched her...


*sigh*
Yes, I just described my "love" life as of right now.
Take it for what you will. ><

Help.

Azn Sensation

Hey guys :]

Actually I don't know if that should be a smiley face or not.

I'm actually not very happy right now.

I don't know why. Maybe I'm just being super stupid. I probably am.

Gah.

Men.

-Yeanaloozer

PS: what is it that makes some girls attractive and some girls not? I mean, if you look at each other, there's really not that much that puts the "hot girls" in a different level from "the other girls." if you think about it, they all look the same once you strip off the inch thick layer of makeup.

high schoolers.

i hate men.

First Week of School = DONE!

Hello my lovely "5th floor ladies", it's Lando Girl! :) I hope Tracy and Rosanna are enjoying their last few days of summer, and I hope Yeana had a good week of school! It appears that we all have similar schedules (well besides tracy, who hasn't posted hers...hehe). I see APUSH and Spanish as the same...>.< And we're all either taking AP Bio or Chem. Or both, if you're a loser like me, who's forced into a schedule created by a arbitrary program...
Lol. Anyways. My first week went very well, surprisingly!! I love most of my classes and teachers. Ironically, I went into Junior year hating the fact that I had mostly male teachers, but then came to realize that the two female teachers I have are the ones who I dislike now...*sigh*. I really don't think AP Bio is going to be fun. Legit. But aside from classes...school has actually been fun! I think it's because the stress hasn't kicked in yet; once it has everyone will be like ticking time bombs. Lol. I like the people in my classes, I have best friends in all, and I'm also becoming better friends with other people as well! It's great ^.^
Alright, moving on...Yeana, I hope your first volleyball game goes well!!! It seems like you've got a lot to handle this year, I know you can do it though! :D
Tracy, I just loveeee how you included pictures! Plus, the whole pool thing just fascinates me...there are places where you can just hang out and play pool? Like in CHINA?! LOL, we definitely don't have that in Land O Lakes...it's because we're ignorant rednecks and we like butter...LMFAO. But seriously, that is sooo tightt. Are the people who go there mainly teenagers or adults? I'm picturing like a bar or something. Lmfao.
And Rosanna, I love how you're so into Choir and music and all that. So cool. :) I am also glad that you are working less hours. :DDDD

Mmkay...I am extremely happpy to be able to read ya'lls blogs...I am thankful everyday for having met you guys! I have band practice 9-4 tomorrow, so I have to get to bed early :P I will inform you ladies of my social life and BOY issues in another blog...boy, do I have a lot to say...Lol.

Love you all!

Hello My Wonderful Asians!

Hello!

Sorry it has taken me so long to post something. It had been hectic and crazy for me, even though I have not even started school yet. (I start on the 10th of Setptember)

Wendy, you will be hap[py to know that I have cut back my hours at work, I only work about 25 or 30 hours a week instead of 40+. When I am not working for my family, I am doing spread sheets. I have mentioned before that I spend my Fridays helping my Chorus Teacher and having it be volunteer work. Well, I have taken on creating a program on Excel for all of the music in our CHoral Library (2 or 3 thousand pieces) and inputting the information: Voicing, Title, COmposer, Arranger, Publisher, Were It Is Stored In the Chorus Room, How Many Copies (originals, or photocopies), when it was last performed, and Misc Info. It is a daunting task, and it is going to take a long time, but I found a Gem the other day. The complete book of FAURE'S REQUIEM!!!!!!! I am so excited, all the songs are beautiful and I am thrilled.
I have also been appointed the "Chorus Room Librarian" basically I help my teacher throughout the year, with all of the folders, getting new copies of music for the stupid kids who lose or forget their's, and help file away the new music... it also included other stuff but it would bore you.

I have been in contact with the lobyist from Prevent Child Abuse NY, and will probably start volunteering there in the near future, I am actually pretty excited becasue I might be helping them researching for articles that they will be putting out and that means I would be credited in an actaul document! (I am aware that I'm a dork)

I will be starting voice lessons in the near future, probably next week... I am actually excited because I love my teacher and his wife.

I already know most of schdule for school so I am going to tell you what it is. We have a 7 period day, but in our actual schdule we have 8 periods, becasue they rotate. (It is confusing unless you don't experience it) Anywho, with the program at my school they don't have an IB Program or anything, and because of state mandate or something stupid, I have to be in some courses... whatev.

Pre-Calc (probably Honors)
APUSH: my dad is good friends with the teacher because of Boy Scouts, AKWARD
English 11 Honors (I think, it might be AP?) Who cares? - not me
Psych
Criminal Law
Chorus
Spanish 4 AP
Chemistry (Honors)?
Gym: Net Sports (so Volleyball, Batmitten - idk how to spell that- and tennis)
I have Chem Lab, and A Chrous Lesson everyother day.....
I think thats it, but I have no clue....

So yeah., life is busy for me and what not.
I have to go do some spread sheets now, woo hoo!
Love Y'all!
Rosanna

will you marry me?





ahahhah, school starts for me @...september 9th (:
this time i confirmed it with other people instead of asking my sister =="

and the title of this post is cause of the song that im downloading...well, now.
will you marry me --lee seung gi (> u <)
it's just a song that gives off this really sweet feeling so i really wanted it =="


ohyeahs, i played pool :D
it had been a while since i last played so it took a while to get used to it again o__O
lookie, pictures :D

in the second pic, my friend made the ball jump (not on purpose) and it almost hit our other friend in the face...XD



and because it's you guys, i'll say it. i'm still embarrassed saying such a weirdo thing and all, but i feel more comfortable saying it with you guys, and it'll get it out of my head =="
there was this guy who gave off a nice feeling (:
weird, yeah. for some reason, this smiley pool guy who i have made no contact with whatsoever other than the occassional eye contact, is stuck in my head l<

and darnsits, i googled up billiard table, and they all come out close to a thousand bucks ;__;
i can't help but wish we could have all played pool together. <3

an elusive thought,
a memory of a simple gesture,
a smile,
simply stuck.
tracy.

p.s. hey you guys, gimme lots of pictures on the blog too, 'kay? :D

Azn Sensation

Hello!

School has started for me. (It started Monday, to be exact...) I have a FULL schedule, complete with choir, drama, and volleyball. It's the hardest first week of school I've ever encountered and I'm not sure if I can keep up with it.

Here's my schedule so you can get a better idea of what my schedule is like:

APUSH
Calculus AB AP
American Lit. Honors
Bio AP
Spanish 4 Honors
A Cappella Choir
Adv. Drama Honors

then volleyball after school til 6:30 ~ 7:00.

(To Rosanna: Yes, I did know Pie Jesu before you mentioned it. We sang it in choir a few years back. :] )

Tomorrow is the fourth day of school. I have an exam in biology and an in-class essay in Lit. Friday: quiz in biology in the next chapter and a socratic seminar in APUSH. Monday: exam in biology on the next two chapters.

It's sort of crazy. I also have my first game next Friday.

And meanwhile, our class president is already screwing things up for our class. :] . . . >:[[[[[[

I should go study more biology. I shall post more soon, and looking forward to more posts from y'all!

love,
Yeannerz

LANDO GIRL

I was so happy seeing more posts from you guys! I know we're all so busy nowadays, but ohh how much I still miss ya'll. :(
Anyways...I am spending most of my time these days with band stuff! Hehe. We have practices a lot and they're longg too! I actually just got back from rehearsal 10-4, and fundraising with a couple friends from 5-7. Last year this time, if you asked me if I enjoyed band, I would start ranting about how much I hated the director and the people in it. This year, I am having SO MUCH FUN. Part of it is that I love being drum major, and it's not even the authority I enjoy; it's the conducting! Weird as it sounds, I absolutely love conducting! It's like I have so much power with MUSIC in just my two wittle hands! =P Hehe. Also, we've gotten a lot of new members, mostly freshmen, but unlike last year's, they are actually pretty cool! Hehehe. So yeah, I'm definitely having a lot of fun with them these days :)

Anyways...I've also spent a lot of time studying for SAT, and practicing my clarinet for All-State auditions coming up. School starts in just a day! Wow...that is SO CRAZY. Ugh...I am SO dreading this upcoming school year...what classes are ya'll taking? My schedule is as follows: AP Eng (I think it's Lit), APUSH, AP Bio, IB Spanish 4, IB Chem, AP Calc AB.
Please just kill me now...

Moving on, Yeana--it's good to hear from you buddy! Hahah. Good luck with school on Monday as well :P I'm gonna sign up for a SAT prep class maybe...I've just been taking practice tests over and over and overrr again! Btw i can totally relate to the drama thing...hahah. Plus, who's that guy you're talking 'bout...? ;P

Rosanna and Tracy-- I might be coming to NY this May with the band!!!! We're thinking of performing in this Music Festival and at the Statue of Liberty. Hahah I don't think ya'll live around there but whatev....=P

Well, I have to go eat some noodles. I'm STARVING.
Miss and love you all.

Guess Who? - ME!!!!

Hello.

This message might be different than my normal ones for a few reasons 1. I am tired and its early 2. I have to go volunteer in like 30 minutes and 3. because I am me

So lesson for life: parties can SUCK. Its normal, right? To hate being at a party... well I don't have time to go into detail, but each party I have been to has not ended well for miscellaneous reason, but it makes then suck. Sorry for the harsh language...

On a different note: Yeana, did you know Pie Jesu before I mentioned it? I am glad that both you and Tracy enjoy it.

Classical music just relaxes me, listening to it or performing it, it doesn't really matter, it just does something to me. The way I think of it is, that it is, in a way, the past... the Baroque period and other previous musical periods... but you can hold and change it, much like the way the composers or the artisits did from that time. So I guess I am a nut about Classical Music. My current chorus teacher has been through a lot this past year: she lost her daugther who was 25, she almost lost her son, she lost close friends, and now her brother has a 20 pound tumor and cancer, it wasnt' her year. But she still showed me everything that music has to offer and what it an do for anyone. I also like to catalog the music becasue she will let me take some of it home with me, like classical stuff that no one knows any more. I don;t know, and sorry for the ramble on music, its so important to me becaue its my way to vent, instead of yelling, I can cresendo or instead or crying I can sticatto or decresndo.. the music is mine, and I have to make it mine.

Ok on that note:

Yeana - you are SAT whiz becasue you are the only person out of us who took them and you did balling

Wendy - I agree with Yeana, the guys should've asked you out a long time ago.

Traacy _ I hope you found that password

Love to all
Rosanna

Azn Sensation's Return!

Hello all,

I'm enjoying this flurry of blogging...I logged into my own blog today and was pleasantly surprised with 3 new posts from y'all!

My question for you guys is when the heck did I become the SAT master? LOL. I'm telling you, I didn't do anything special...take the classes, do their homework, and pray a lot. That's...about it.

:D

Anyways, my life has been pretty busy lately as well. Like Wendy, school starts on Monday for me...and I'm trying to cram everything into these last 4 days. (4 DAYS? WTF?!! GAHHHHHH) It sounds so horrible after just stating it like that...T^T.

August 15th was a sad day, a day of remembrance and perhaps even some tears, but it's over now...I was supposed to go to the movies with a friend on Friday but I ditched him to go shopping with my mother? hahaha...I'll never understand it. But I love shopping with the moms. Besides, my father's gone on a business trip and she's lonely/unhappy. What better than a little mother-daughter bonding time to cheer her up?

To Wendy: You are one hot mama and I'm surprised all of those guys haven't asked you to a date or something yet. :D

To Tracy: I love your blogs/letters. I can hear your voice through them and it totally makes my day...your happy attitude is contagious. ^^

To Rosanna: I LOVE PIE JESU. I don't think I'm as nutty for classical music as you are, but whenever I come across a lovely piece I do obsess over it for a while...I remember once I started humming Con Te Partiro during music practice at church and my director started laughing at me and called me a geek. :]

I'm soon off to a lunch meeting with some of my amigas from the Spanish Honor Society. We're eating at Chili's but all of us misspelled it and wrote "Chile's." Fitting? Maybe. Dorky? 100%. :]

And as much as I hate saying this kind of stuff, I also love it...it's a serious love/hate relationship. But whatever. WHAT I'm going to say is

that I'm completely obsessed with a Korean drama and the guy in it.

I'm also obsessed over another guy but that's another story for another day. :]

Mucho Amor,

Ya-Kisha

you'll be in my heart.

as the title suggests, you'll all be in my heart (:
it's mostly cause @ the moment i'm listening to that phil collins song from Tarzan (awesome movie!!)..."you'll be in my heart" =="

wendy;
hope you're having a blast at band camp :D
and like rosanna said, who the hey can perfectly sightread at first sight? maybe mozart- but he died mad young and was a desperately poor drunk guy in the end. =="

oh gosh. i'm listening to "follow me now" from alvin and the chipmunks...XD
i'll follow you guys to the ends of the...US...(;

and also, wendy you're gorgeous. guys will love you forever <3 so if you can't decide whether or not you like the guy(s) you can think of them as friends first, and i think eventually your feelings will grow for one of them (:
but i suck at this advice thing, so yeah =="

YEANA; DIVULGE TO US YOUR SECRETS TO SAT PREP.
i've got to get to writing you guys more letters (: they're so much fun to write o__O
though im running ridiculously low on stamps ==" ew. the post office. (long line)

..."move shake and drop remix" ...XD

Rosanna, i saved the most for last <3
it's nice to have our lovely mom back to blogging (:
though you really seem to be taking a lot on your plate o__O
i wish. we could. meet up. <3
how long would it take you to get to manhattan or queens?

WHOA, "Don't trust me" !! :D :D :D

your novelly schedule is also epic compared to mine =="
the most scholarly thing i have going on is coming up this sat cause i signed up for free classes at the city college- which im not even sure if i'll end up taking cause i didn't validate the bill for it yet. it's a zero bill cause i signed up through some program (yay free stuff!!) but i forgot my password to the login site and i can't log in =="
and it is NO PROBLEM about your talking about music (:
im actually gonna youtube the song you recommended :D
i love pretty things ^^ <--shallow ==" ahah.hah.hah.

also, my little cousin is currently spending the week at my house and although i love her...i can't exactly hang out with friends and i had to skip out on my friends birthday (whoops...) but i don't think she'd like it if i brought my little cousin along ^^"

i love you guys
so very much
you're the curly
of my curly fries,

tracy.

p.s. i've been watching mad movies to the point that my brain may potentially be rotting @__@
also. there was this one particular movie that i saw on the awesome site that wendy gave me (mysoju i think it was?) the movie "koizora"
i cried buckets through it. when i was done with the movie, i saw that i cried so much that it looked like i wet my pants. XD XD

Titles aren't legit anymore.... they are just annoying

Hola Chicas!

Ok so I am at work and my wonderfully boring day just finished. Woo -hoo. I am just blogging becasue I have not done so for a week. My life is fanastically boring, due to the fact that I work everyday, I have NO life, but I have become accustomed to taking Fridays off so I can go to parties on Thrusday nights and get up the next morning at 8 (omg... thats sleeping in for me - fml.) and then help my chorus teacher catalog all the music.

Oh, btw I will probably be talking about music a lot in my blogs as soon as the school year comes, because that is what I spend 4 out of 5 days doing... oh, that and Youth Court, but YC is confidential.....

So I am just saying 'howdy'! And Yeana, I would also love to know your SAT technique... considering I will need a ballin' SAT grade to evern get into the college I want.... oh and I just remembered that I have a college advisor meeting on Thursday. Wonderful, another person to make me feel like I am not doing enough to further my life.

On that note.... listen to Pie Jesu from Faure's Requiem.... its pretty and I am learning it right now.

Love to all and if I don't get your letters out on time, have a good first day back! (to those of you who start school on Monday)

<3 Rosanna

LANDO GIRL

Okay so we all haven't blogged in quite a while...Sorry from me, I've been so busy this past week with band camp and all...it was CRAZY tiring but also crazy FUN! I've made a lot of new friends and I feel like all the new freshmen have a lot of potential! They're all so focused and QUIET. Hahah. But it's a good thing...Anyways. I also have to spill that one of my friends in band has been flirting A LOT with me lately...he's the joker type, always cracking obscene jokes and whatnot but he's not annoying or anything like that. He's SUPER funny and a great guy. He's a big flirt but not a player...in fact he's only had one serious g/f and treated her SO WELL.
My point is, he's been giving me a lot of attention lately and idk if he's just acting normal or if he's actually into me...AHH HELP!

This brings me into my next topic...hahah. Okay so tonight I went to a friend's party, and this guy happens to be one of my best guy friends. He used to like me, but I didn't like him so we went over that whole phase. Anyways...I just noticed that he's matured A LOT this summer...and idkk I'm definitely feeling some attraction towards him! He's become more flirty now as well, and ahhh it's just hard to explain. I feel so comfortable with him. I'm not sure if I like him either.

Anyways. I really don't have time to write much, just wanted to give ya'll a quick update on my life. I'm definitely missing you guys and I'm sad that we don't have time to blog as much...but please keep me updated! Text me, facebook, whatever.
Oh and Yeana--you need to let me in on your SAT prep techniques...hahahah, I really need to start cracking (I have been all summer actually, but I REALLY need to now) and so I was just wondering what you did to study...because obviously it worked. Hahah. So yeah.

Okay that's all for tonight. I'm going to send letters to ya'll soon, I PROMISE. Life has just been so busy lately...=(

LOVE YOU GUYS!

Greetings from Loudonville, New York!

Hello ladies!

Before I begin, I have a few random thoughts to share with you, they will begin after a brief apology from me. I am sorry that I have not blogged in a while. I have been visiting colleges through out this New York State and it kind of sucked (I will go into detail later). Anyway, Tracy I got your letter when I cam home today :), it made me happy! I will be writing letters to all of you this week or next week, but since next week is busier for me than this week, it will probably be this week. I am going back a few blogs here: take your mind, and remember back to when Tracy said that we don't really need titles on our blogs becasue the styles of writing for all of us are different, and I agree with you by the way :), it got me thinking (please bear with me) what would all of your different fonts be? For typing? Currently, I am typing in the font 'font'. So thats my random thought of the day....

Anyways,
Tracy - I hope all is well! If you are playing videogames, I hope that is going well for you, but please don't strain your eyes..... <3 Oh and lets clarify something: you got a text from a boy that was like 'be my gf' and you didn't respond, and unless he asks u again, your not going to respond? My advice to you is: be careful, and its ok to reject him if you want to. Also listen to your frineds (Wendy told me this) becasue they can see things about people (good and bad) that you can not always see. If I missed the complete point to all of this, my apologies, I guess I don;t read the blog as throughly as I would like!

Yeana - I hope you are enjoying your church camp! And I hope all is well, or getting better with you friend - we are always here for you <3

Wendy - I hope that band camp is well, but can I have a chat with your band director please? In said chat I will ask him to conduct one of Mozart's most complex pieces (one that he doesn't know) and expect him to be perfect. I will them go on to say: "While Wendy is an amazing person who can do and has done so much, there is no way perfection in SIGHTREADING can be reached! Becasue even though she IS a stellar person, its not exactly possible, and perfection is never acheived, no matter who it is. So I would appreciate it if you let her do her thing and then realize how amazing she is going to do!" Or something to that affect! <3

So it has been a tad busy for me, bear with me while I write a novel, which I call my schedule. On Friday I got up and did chores and what have you, I then ran some errands (Target, Rite Aid, groceries..... and so on) I then packed and left to travel out to Central New York. In 3 days, I visited 5 colleges and went on their tours, but for an additional 3 I just drove around campus. I toured University of Rochester, Ithaca College, SUNY ESF (Enviormental Science and Forestry), SUNY Binghamton, and SUNY Oneonta. If you are wondering what SUNY is 'State University of New York".... Yeah, so I think it was basically a waste of my time. They were catered to what my brother wants and not me. To be honest I know what I like and don;t like for school sizes and campuses, but sicne my brother's grade aren't exactly as good as mine are I know I can go to better colleges that he is applying to. But yeah, it was helpful, but not at the same time. Anyways, my mom decided to bisit her high school friend and her faily so that took a bit of time, but I love her friend so its all good. This coming week, Wednesday and Thursday work from 8ish to 5:30. Thursday I have a party from 7 to 11 and Friday I have to do errands, birthday gifts, make sure our cleaning person is doing her job, and look into my finances (wtf?!?!?!). Anyway next week is kind of the same. Monday through Wednesday I work the same hours but Thursday is my busiest day. I have work from 7:45 to 3 (without a lunch becasue I am leaving early) and then at 3:30 I have a college advisor meeting for God knows how long. I then have Youth Court from 6:30 to 8:30 and then a party after that until 11:30. Yeah... and I can't sleep in on Friday becasue, while I am not working, I am going into school to help my chorus teacher (also my fave teacher) organize, sort, and catalog over 3000 pieces of music. We started it before school ended, and I have been helping her whenever I can, but we have both been busy and away, so we have to start cracking down on it again (and as a bonus, it counts for communtiy service hours, so far I have like 50 from this alone, so its a win-win). Yeah and then I have misc things like hang with friends and babysit and hang with the family... so on and so forth.

But I am also trying to get involved with a few more community service things: Prevent Child Abuse NY and I also might become a court-appointed child advocate? I haven't researched the latter, but I am very interested in them both.

Anyway this is a really long blog, so my b (its just like my letters :p LOL). I finished a collagey thing of like ten pics and stuff of NSLC, an I am going to scrapnbook and what not , when I have the time... yeah so life is busy, exciting and fun. I love all of you, try to relax because summer only has just over 1.5 weeks left for some of you... that sucks, I am sorry :(. Hugs to all, hopefully letters soon.

Oh, one more thing ( I am so sorry): I realize that all colleges and universties get their furniture from the same provider, but I got to the 1st one I was visiting and it was the EXACT same furniture that was at AU. I had deja vu, and I think I almost cried... because I immediately thought back to NSLC and all of you and all the times we had around furniture like that. LMFAO, I know... Love to all of ya'll!

LANDO, BANDO GIRL

Lol wtf at the title...hahah. This week's band camp, in case ya'll haven't noticed. :P
Oh yes, 9 hours of sweating my ass off in the sunny sun sun. Excuse my french. ;) Anyways...today was the first day. It ran pretty smoothly actually, except when i majorly failed on conducting this new song I just got today. It was horrible, but then again the whole band didn't know it either. So it was epic fail x1000000000. UGH and I can't blame it on the band either because my directors says that I have to be "perfect" when I'm in front of everyone.
WTF. That's like, not possible. I didn't know being an officer had this much work...jeeeesh. Today was just both mentally and physically exhausting. But whatever, I'm over it. Mostly because I saw Tracy's letter on my counter AS SOON AS I got home!! <3 It just totally brightened my night. Hahah ironic. XP
But anyways I am so forever grateful to have you guys in my life....I will write letters in return, I promise, life has just been so hectic lately...

Anyways. Tracy--So you ended up not telling him? :P Well, here's the thing...if he doesn't bring it up again, there's no need to create problems. But if he keeps on bugging you, ya need to say something...lol. You can do it!! I have faith in you. :D

Rosanna, are you done with your college trips yet? What about you, Yeana? How was church camp? :P

I miss all of you guys.
I'm so tired so i'm peacing out. Ahahah, so lame but whatev.

I love you wendy. even though i wanted to say no, i didn't quite have the determination(or was it courage?) to actually do it >__<


i just wanted to take the post to say that.

p.s. i love you too yeana, :D

and of course i love our lovely mom rosanna (":


gosh. i love you guys (;

tracy.

Screw titles...

Hahah like Tracy said, you guys probably can tell who it is anyways ;)
Guess who this is?! See if you can tellll, even though I'm about to practically give it away, lol. =P

Yeana, I hope you have fun at your church camp. I hope our advice helped; we're all here for you no matter what.

Tracy, your situation sounds puzzling...now did you say that you DON'T like this person? Well then, don't be afraid! If he brings up the whole girlfriend situation again, just confront him about it...I know i know, confrontation is hard and rejection is even harder, but trust me. You just need to tell him how you really feel. I am a person who always tries to circle around the problem...but I've learned that coming face to face with the problem is the best solution!
This guy doesn't sound very decent, btw...at least not in boyfriendish terms. Hahah. First off, the whole "be my g/f" text is very immature and demeaning for him to say. How dare he demand you to be his girlfriend!! Haha...and the whole bipolarness of it all just upsets me. This is because I've come across too many problems with bipolar boys and trust me, they never end well. Though I will also agree that most boys are bipolar (lol), I advise you not to get involved in those that are...just too much confusion ya know?
You don't need that. :P Okay so I don't even know what I'm saying anymore...haha I hope that helped? Because irdk if it did...lmfao. Okay just let me know <3>.<

Haha that's my little tidbit right there. Other than that, life is pretty good right now actually...I spent last night (tonight as well) swimming with my dad and brother, and then my family played cards. It reminded me of all ya'll. :P Next week is band camp...but the week after that I've got 2 parties. One of which is an exclusive Asian party which I'm super psyched about. It's just gonna make me think of our Asian gang even more though...(and you too, Rosanna...;P). *sigh* Nostalgia overcomes me...
Lol kay, enough with the cheesyness. I'm off, bye loves!

<3WENDY (did ya get it?! LMFAO)

I LOVE YOU MOM!

okay, first i'm gonna kick myself in the behind for once AGAIN neglecting the blog (gosh, me and my video games D:)

i'm gonna address the title of this post:
i know we're all thinking this. Rosanna, you're address to yeana made my heart all warm and i think it cried o__O this might be a little late (jeez, it is D: ) but yeana--> i agree with wendy's approach on the whole joking with her on what went on in china. You'll also want to let her know that you're definitely concerned but she doesn't have to run away from you 'cause you're not gonna give her a lecture or anything, you just want her to be careful on the crazy stuff she's doing. Personally, procreation isn't my thing, i know some people can get really addicted to it, and that DOES freak me out for them- cause it can screw them over big time. My friend got addicted to the feeling of IT. so she went around getting drunk at her parties and doing it (drunk or not). She clearly stated that she liked it, and i reminded her everytime that i was against it, and she had better be careful. She was, she used protection and everything. But eventually, she wasn't addicted anymore. It wears off and everything. Unfortunately for her, the guys that she used to be with still see her as that kind of girl, and she has a hell of a time getting them to leave her alone. So the conclusion: guys are scary, make sure your friend knows that D:

also, wendy :D i googled the drama asap, i'll get to watching it (;

another interesting tidbit, i don't need to read the titles of the posts as much to know who wrote which post :D you guys each have ur own "voice". it's like texts. XD i can hear and see you (:

this is just-----a rant? so unless you wish to suffer my similar brain fart, it's up to you if you want to proceed

okay. so i'm having a brainfart at the moment. system overload. all that junk.


...up in my trunk. all that junk etc
^black eyed peas...sorry about that. XD

yeah, so, system overload will lead me to continue this already excessively long blog post D:
losiento about that >__<

this started with wendy sending me this txt just asking hows it going and everything (the texts that you guys send me bring me back to reality (: )
well then, at first this was kinda hard to answer. what's going on? nothing really.
then i got another text a little bit after that, all it said was : Be my gf
my brain asks me: "err, [gf] usually stands for girlfriend, no?"
that was awkward. it was from one of my friends since elementary school D:
it doesn't stop there, this guy is...how do you say it? an asshole?
but at the same time, he can be really nice to me =="
it's like he's a pregnant woman with all of the moodswings he undergoes D:
we were never really close until we got to the same highschool cause then we took the same train and everything. At first, i could call his treatment towards me in freshmen year BULLYING.
I would go to the trainstation EARLIAR just to avoid meeting him cause he would change trains to my train
at lunch, he would take my food. literally, about half of it went to his own stomach, and he has money. go get your own lunch l:< once i got so pissed at him for being mean that i took my pizza and just sorta smeared it all over his arm. it felt good (:
so sophmore year, he stops following me on the train and all, he still talks to me- but he got nicer. he says crap like "i'll start being nicer to you" with a smile, and then two to three days later he's an asshole again.
then hallelujah, schedule change. we barely see each other, and that's good. we develope a nice friendly relationship in which we can actually get along well (:
and my gosh, he goes through a looooot of crushes. alot of fake girlfriends as well. he claims he had this girlfriend @ church, my friend who goes to his church and knows the girl said that he was senile cause that girl hates him for bothering her all the time. ouch.
he went through this one looong phase in which he liked my friend, said she was perfect and everything. i always thought they got along relatively well, except for the times when he acts like an asshole occasionally and she's there. unfortuanately, this asshole phase continues and she encounters it more and more often and she's a very active person (strong too, she has a good kick (: ) so she doesn't like him. she wants nothing to do with him. he goes complaining(crying?) to me ==" i felt bad for him at first cause he seemed to really like her >_o
he then goes through about three more well publisized "crushes" then comes back to me saying that he tried, but he can't get over my friend. the same thing kinda happens and by the end of the school year (sophmore) he says he found another girl he likes =="
oh. i just realized something. he said her name was michelle, i didn't know any michelles @ my school so i assumed i didn't know her. but recently, i remember him commented on the wall of my friend from a different school that i didn't know he knew asking her to hang out and everything and HER NAME WAS MICHELLE. ohhh. i just realized his. i'm rather slow.
yeah, so i'm HAPPY. he can go find a girl he's happy with cause deep down sometimes, he's a decent guy. his little sister's a genius, so i guess since he gets upstaged all the time that's why he acts so weird mostly.
i return from DC, he asks me to hang out and go on aim. my internet wasn't so good so i wasn't an aim person. i honestly already had plans so i couldn't hang out with him. i figured we were friends. he then calls me to tell me to go on aim. we can talk normally and everything and he's got a decent sense of humor. but really. a text asking me, er, that?
and the thing is, this has happened before, a friend going home with us who is also a childhood friend will tell me "oh, he likes you" and then say "jk!!" and we laugh it off
it was never really hard to just play dumb and pretend i didn't understand what he meant sometimes, i really really just want to be friends. and then he goes and sends a message in which you really can't be more direct with D:<
IM NOT HAPPY ANYMORE.
i don't know what to do i don't know what to do i don't know what to do D:
D:
D:
so wendy's text message was the trigger for this oober long post. i can't talk to my brother or sister. obviously not my mom. it's too embarrassing to talk about this with my other friends. but you guys are special to me.
so this guy can be a real jerk. but he can also be really sweet. we act like real buddies, joking around about the most random of things, and it's not too weird just sitting next to him in the bus/subway even in silence.
in my POV he's not bad looking, but not good looking (i'm biased. there's this guy that i liked in my school but we suddenly stopped being friends. that sucked. we stopped being friends when he started putting more effort into the way he looked and he just stopped talking to me.)
but i don't think i can think of him that way. i'm so scared of confronting him that my phone is on silent mode so i can sorta ignore his phone call >__<

i miss DC where we left most of our troubles behind and we had all we needed.
food
drink

and friends.

AZN SENSATION

I truly thank God for the day I met you guys.

Rosanna: I love you and your suggestions are priceless.

Wendy: We used to be best friends til we started going our separate ways. We're still friends...just not as close as we used to be a few years ago.

Anyways, I'm off to my church's annual summer camp for a few days. It's a great chance to set myself apart from the world for a while, think, and pray. I think it's another way to just organize my thoughts and renew my faith. It's always a breath of fresh air to go to camp and just be with people who believe in the same things that I do.

You guys are always in my prayers. :] God has all of y'alls backs. ^^

So this will be my last post for a few days! I'll be back soon as a refreshed individual. :]

I love you all

LANDO GIRL TO THE RESCUE!

Okay Rosanna, we've discussed your work and all that...once again, I stress that you DON'T overwork yourself...though I hope it'll soon all get better. Didn't you say that you don't have to work during the school? I guess that'll be over soon. At least you'll have the musical and parties and etc to look forward to. ;P

As fo Yeana...my my, you don't know how many times I've been in this situation! Hahah...like this one time, my best friend did something with a guy (nothing bad, really) at my party and she didn't tell any of our friends what she did. We had to find out from the BOY to really know what went down. FYI, the guy is our friend but we still don't like the way he treats girls...anyways. So we did have to confront her about it only to find out that the reason she didn't tell us was because she didn't want us to look down upon her! (Before, she knew we didn't approve of him, blah blah) I guess she was ashamed, so to speak, about the whole ordeal. So the situations kinda differ, but I think the main idea is still the same. I think your friend doesn't want to tell you what she's done because she knows you are a good girl who is not involved in that scene. And because she was not either, she feels that when she tells you, you won't want to talk to her anymore, or look at her differently. Idk, that's what it sounds like to me.
So if you really want to know what's been going on...talk to her! Just be like, "Sooo I heard some pretty crazy things went down in China!" jokingly or something. Appear that you're eager to hear what she has to say...but if she says something that you don't agree with, be gentle about it. "You know...I know you probably had lots of fun and stuff, but are you really into that stuff now? Idk, it just doesn't seem right..." Do you get what I'm saying?? Lol.
And if she doesn't say anything, just be like..."You know, you can tell me stuff! I mean, I'm not gonna judge you or whatever, hehe". Stuff like that.
IDFK if that even helped...ahahaha. And btw, what do you mean "former" best friend?

Anyways. I hope you feel less lonely. Though whenever you do, just call/text/whatever one of us. To be honest, I feel like this all the time (I have some friends with trust issues, and they don't understand that they can tell their best friends anything...if you get what i mean ;P). So it's okay. It'll all be better soon, trust me. Teenage girls just tend to have these moments.

Alright! Well it's been a busy week for me! Band band band. Lovely. Hahah. Umm and I'm finally getting some playing time for tennis in. Doing lots of summer hw and all that jazz...
Yeah. School's starting soon. UGH.

<3 WENDY

This one is for Yeana

Sweetie-

I am so sorry that I am not with you right now. You have done nothing wrong and it is not right that she is treating you this way. We are all here for you, no matter what time or when, we are here.

This is my advice to you (keep in mind that I am not very good at giving advice, but here it goes): You have to talk to her and be honest with her about how much you actually know and how you are feeling when you around her. Let her know how you are feeling and then hear her out, listen to what she tells you. (idk her, but do you think that she might be covering something else up, like something that upset her?) If she tries to confront and pick a fight with you because you know more than she told you, honestly I don't know that I would want to stay friends with her if I were in this situation... I am not telling you to stop talking to her and not be friends anymore, but you should be cautious around her.

When I am 'arguing' or in the middle of a spat with one of my friends, or stuck in a fight between two friends, and they won't talk to me about important stuff. I write them a letter. In it I say what I am feeling and how they contributed to this feeling. I go onto say that I love them and only want to understand what they had went through... your letter would have to be different, but that's what I do. And then I will talk to them one-on-one and try to 'make it better' (if those are the right words to use.

You do need to talk to her though, honey. Be honest with her. But please remember: 1. YOU ARE NOT ALONE, and please don't ever think that you are; it breaks my heart that a. you think this and b. are hurting and lonely and I can't be there with you to bake for you or hug you. 2. You are not a dumbass, you did what you did because you genuinely care and becasue that's the Yeana I know: caring, loving, amazing, and so much more...

I LOVE YOU SWEETIE, we all do... we are here for you, and when you feel alone, it is ok to lean on us, for whatever you need... becasue that is part of our job description and because we love you and want whats best for you.

I hate that you are hurting, its not ok. But I hope this helped you a little. We are all here.

I'll love you forever and always,
Mom

AZN SENSATION

's life feels like it's getting messed up. My former best friend feels so distant it's not even funny. I feel like the loneliest person in Cupertino, California.

Well maybe it's not my life that's getting messed up. After all, I'm not the one who went to China "to study" and ended up learning how to drink and go partying every night, making out with random guys "who I'll never meet again."

But I feel alone. I don't know what's worse; knowing that she's not talking to me because she's afraid to admit something or finding out what she's been doing from the vine. I don't know what to do, what to say to her, or how to act around her.

Help me, guys...I don't know what to do. I'm sort of really astonished that she would tell this to other people but wouldn't even try to talk to me about it. It sort of really makes me feel like a loser when we're walking along and she's talking to other people about what she's been doing and not to me. It sort of really makes me feel like a dumbass when I have to eavesdrop to find out what she's been up to.

My other friends are trying to cheer me up, but I don't think that's what I need. I need to talk to her, and have a serious discussion with her.

UGH...

Nature Girl

Hello ladies.

Music is literature, and only some people understand it; there are many aspects and areas and genres that one should know. Yet, a lot of people don't know; they think that they do, but actually don't. Take a famous singer. How many do you think know Pie Jesu or any of the classics that are out there? The answer? Probably not many, but like literature there are genres, that you should be well rounded in, no? - Yes. From Oliver Twist to Gossip Girl, there are equals in music, such as Habanera and Just Dance. Yet we all read and play and sing what we do becasue it makes us happy, but what is the definition of happy? Or do just do what you know is popular so you become successful, but what is successful defined as?

Happy - favored by fortune; fortunate or lucky
Successful - having attained wealth, position, honors, or the like

Did that just confuse you? Ok let me clarify... There are many aspects to happiness, one of them being success. But what makes you sucessful, and does that in turn make you happy. Are any of them related at all? Or do you need and want to do what you think is right so that one day in the future, you and your kids will be happy, but then, what defines your kids happiness? I have been thinking a lot about the future lately and this is in my head and it won't come out. So now you know my thoughts for the last few days.... I am sorry.

So I sent all of you letters when I was at the lake... idk when you are going to get them I just thought that you should know.

Summer: what is summer? A fun happy time where you chill, relax, and prepare yourslef for the next school year? Apparently thats not what it is any more. We are 16 and pathetically busy, yes some of it is enjoyable for us and some of it sucks. - Random thought of me... jic you were wondering.

So my next few blogs until September will be boring. I have the same routine schedule through August: Wake up at 6:30 am and get ready for work. Work from 8 - 5:30. Depending on the day, community service afterwards, learn Chemistry, SAT Prep, do more work when I get home, or do work for school. Its thrilling, is it not? JK.

So yeah, for me September is the month to look forward to. The extracirricualrs that I actually enjoy: chorus, select chorus (if I audition and get it...) peer tutor, maybe debate team, Melodies of Chirstmas, ESYC, voice lessons, and community service, not to bad, maybe i will join something else... and then the school musical! I can start this long and crappy year, so that in 10 months in will be over. My brother's Costa Rican exchange student will be coming for 2 weeks (starting Sept. 11), hopefully he will be attractive... but idk. And the parties will start around Sept. 1st. My friends love any excuse to have a party so there'll be end of summer parties, begginning of school parties, and one of my faves.... Columbus Day. A random holiday not usually celebrated, except for me and my friends.

So my blogs are long, I am sorry. I am really busy, as we all are, and when that happens I don;t make any sense. I hope all of you are having fun with life, don't push yourself too hard, Ik, very hypocritical, but my life sounds more busy than it actually is...

Love Ya'll!

LANDO GIRL

Why do I feel like I just forced everyone to blog...hahah JK! :P

I love you guysss and I'm going to respond to your blogs before I start ranting! :)

Yeana: Wowww you are so involved with volleyball! Hehe you must really enjoy it. :) Too bad the oldie is getting in the way, but no worries-- I know you're keeping your head up. :) I lovee that your confidence is boosting! And btw...your little story about the popsicle made me smile, but sad. :P I miss youuuu <3

Tracy: GIRL! Stop playing those video games!! Haha...I shouldn't even talk though, cItaliconsidering I lock myself up in my room and watch dramas all night long...heheh. Oh, and i love your comparison with us and the sisterhood! Very nice. :D You girls are seriously MY SISTERS!

Rosanna: LOL you crack me up..."Do you have them on DVD or its it a Taiwanese/Chinese HBO sorta thing? I am fascinated and rivited!" HAHAH obviously we've already discussed this. LOL. I'm glad you had a good time in the mountains, and I just recieved your letter yesterday! :D

Now I probably didn't respond to everything but whatever...heheh. This past week has been pretty good, actually. I hung out with my friend Dani, and we spent a pretty legit afternoon at the mall. Last night, a music group came to our church (they are part of New Heart Ministries) and performed and sang with us. I enjoyed it so much! Though it was hard to follow since the songs were in Chinese (esp. since they used TRADITIONAL characters not SIMPLIED, arghh) but the music was unbelievably touching! I had a great time. :D
And today, some family friends are coming over and probably spending the night. My parents haven't seen these friends in 5 years, so it will be a nice reunion. They have 13 year old daughter so looks like I'm gonna have to entertain her...GRRREAT. UGH. I NEED TO DO HW!!!!
Hahah...speaking of which...i lack total motivation. >.<
I can't believe school starts in 3 weeks. SHHHIITT. Lol.

Anywaysss...I am thoroughly enjoying my current drama, Wish to See You Again. Tracy, you should watch it ;) Btw, do you have any recommendations? Because I'm almost done with this one...hahah.

Alright. I've got to go. Hope everyone is having a legit weekend!

AZN SENSATION

Hello my lovely babes,

I just got back from my grass volleyball tourney. We finished pool play second but lost the first game of bracket play so we came home. :[ Not a bad finish, but not particularly good...

Anyways, before I go and shower my gross self, I wanted to say a few things...

I was playing side by side with YOU KNOW WHO (if you don't know who...read my earlier post titled "azn sensation's uber long day")...and wouldn't you know it? He annoys the living hell out of me.

I admit; I did not have the best day. I missed roughly 80% of my serves, and my passing was no good at all. Still, I thank everyone for their support. I don't feel like a complete douche.

I'm about to make myself feel like a douche right now by dissing this guy. Whatever.

We didn't have the greatest finish to our first set on our last match. On the final set we were all just trying to keep everyone from crashing and continue encouraging them to the last. We miss a serve; okay, shake it off. Keep playing. Keep that chin up. But nooooooo. Not for Mr. Oldie. He just yells at them during our time-out;

"We HAVE to put those serves in. We're just giving them the ball now. Come on! Let's go!"

Great. Way to put down our already-discouraged team.

I really should stop bitching about this old man. He's not even what I want to talk about.

What I wanted to say was, I saw a dude with an ice-cream cart on the way through the park to the car. I happened to have a few dollar bills in my gym bag, so I bought a lemon-lime flavored popsicle and ate it on the way home. (Now that I think of it, I had the same flavor there, too...) I finished it and was keeping the popsicle stick in my mouth like an old man would with a toothpick, and BOOM BANG SHABOOMBANG (dunno where that came from. wow) I had total Deja Vu.

The last time I did that with a popsicle stick was while I was touring DC with Wendy, Rosanna, Eddie, and Katie. As mentioned above, I had a lemon-lime flavored popsicle there, too.

:]

Despite our not so good finish, that one popsicle made me very happy.

Ah, the simple joys of life.

:]
