Just a heads up, I changed the e-mail for this blog so that means I had to make a new profile (well, I had to copy and paste my old one into this one) and all. Nothing has changed besides that :/

==" I spent 10 minutes trying to find the damn question I wanted to answer and couldn't so I just used the old one xP

Ugh, so yesterday, after school, I went to Seth Low Park to play basketball with Joyce. We didn't have a basketball though... so we just handballed with Michelle. It was so friggin' cold. This guy, Stanley, who couldn't speak english fluently (has the Chinese accent) kept pissing Michelle off by throwing her ball over the fence and onto the sidewalk. After some handball, we went over to a random guy who was playing basketball on his own and asked if we could play too. I was on his team and apparently, he didn't think of me as his teammate because he never passes the ball to me and just runs and shoots. I think the guy preferred to play alone since he didn't look like he was into the whole idea of playing basketball with us. We went back to handball and found that I once again, suck at serving ;I I got better at hitting the ball though since my hands were probably frozen solid. It was funny how Michelle tried serving with ice. The players on the other side got their ball out and one of the guys thought Michelle was gonna get it for them but instead, she goes for the ice xD I left after about an hour since I had to accompany my mom and brother to my great aunt's house. Olfie is so cute <333 >///<

I get home around 6 and started panicking. I had to study for the DDP final that I had today and since I didn't want to hog the computer, I decided I'll try studying all the powerpoints and documents on my ancient Windows 98 (not even SE, it's a first edition ~.~). However, I didn't have Microsoft installed on that computer since it only had 5 gb space and 63 mb RAM (they said it was 64...my ass). I decided I would have to probably convert the powerpoints to a .doc file so I could open in Wordpad or something. I first tried to look for some powerpoint viewer program but none of them supported my Windows 98 (it works for SE but not FE ;_;). Then I decided searched up converters and I tried various software that converted the powerpoints to .pdf, .txt, .doc, and even webpage files. Most of them were trials and had stupid limitations (convert only part of each file, etc.) or they just ended up looking extremely messed up. It just so happened that Microsoft had a plug-in for Office 2007 that could save all files into .pdf files that actually look exactly like the slides. Having wasted about one or two hours finding a conversion program, I wasted another 15 minutes converting them. It was probably 10 by the time I tried to view the files on the ancient computer and so I put in my USB to find that I'd removed Adobe Reader from the computer. I had to go back and interrupt my brother during his game to download Adobe Reader 3 (newer versions don't support Windows 98). So the Adobe Reader does read .pdf files but because it's so old and outdated, it couldn't support new features and then errors keep coming up and I couldn't read half the slide because since it didn't support new features, it couldn't show them and just left a blank screen. By this time, I was desperate. Literally almost breaking down, I called Molly for her help and she was to make a study guide and send it to me (which I never got...) Fortunately, my brother got off the computer and P sent me study guides~ I didn't study though, I was tired and wanted to relax so I just read manga till 2:00 in the morning :D

I love Kasugai Nodo Ni Sukkiri Fruit Candy (well their candy in general...)

Happy Asian New Year! :D Today, I went to school! Hahah...yea, it's sad ==" Since there were so many kids absent, I didn't really do anything today. Everyone who showed up just talked and hanged although in some classes, the teacher actually gave us work.

In math, my teacher was still busy grading so everyone just started drawing on the board with chalk. We didn't get our finals back yet. He's pretty slow with the grading...

We got our term project grades and finals back in global. My group project received 90 and I got 95.5 for global; probably the highest final grade I'm gonna get.

We watched a video about Mexico City in spanish. I got a 89 on the final because apparently, my grammar sucks! My essay got a -7 for grammar (highest is a 10).

In Bio Lab, I wrestled Mikhail (I think I finally spelt his name right...) for a chair. I dunno but I was switching my broken dirty one for a better one and out of no where, he comes and tries to take it from me?! Wth, something is seriously wrongwith that kid... During the two periods, I worked with other people to make a Dichotomas Key for chocolate...I learned what Mounds were.

Wasserstein was absent so we didn't do anything in this class either. What was highly disturbing was that P kept throwing a water bottle at my girl parts while I try to get revenge by kicking his. Darius kept touching everyone...*shiver*

I became a Mediator during "lunch".

My grade for my biology final was a 93. I think Weber no longer cares about cussing.

We all eat crap!...SHIT SHIT SHIT!

Ugh! I thought my day was going along contently as usual but it turned worse. I took my Spanish finals today and although there were 70 multiple choice questions to be done in an hour, I managed to complete it 2/3 of the time and spent the last few minutes checking. I think I did okay and probably passed since the questions were really basic and not too complicated, although I must admit, some did stump me. I also took my gym "final". He'd given us a sheet in advance and half of the stuff on the test wasn't even on the study sheet. The study sheet covered the fundamentals of volleyball but never in my life, had I found true/false questions so demanding... I probably failed but I don't mind for some reason...

Things started turning worse after that. I went to English and found I have lost or been robbed of my water bottle =-=" so I had to suffer dehydration for the rest of the day (it was right after gym too). Our board was not finished since none of our writing pieces were glued on. We didn't haven't scissors to cut the paper margins either so we turned to ripping and pasting them all over the place. Our analysis was supposed to be pasted onto a calender scroll but we couldn't find it so we had to improvise and just stuck extra colored paper we had and glue the pieces of ripped up analysis pieces to it... (the calender was later found in M's locker ~.~) I could've sworn that the whole time we were gluing and ripping and trying to make it look nice, Wasserstein kept talking and explaining (maybe to an extent that he was actually trying to give us some time?). Anyway, we were missing pieces such as the Progress Log (I forgot to type it the previous day so I had to rewrite it neatly quickly...) and draft along with notes. After we were done, we had to review other projects and my group was just so confused because we weren't listening. We managed somehow but the period left me upset and tired.

I go to biology to find that my class is potentially in danger of loosing points because Weber lost a copy of the final test packet. It was so weird and awkward because the order in which we got the numbered papers messed up at the numbered packet that was missing. The person who was supposed to get #11 had #32 so we don't know... Hopefully, it'd turn up and anyhow, I don't think he would take points off because he's nice. I could tell he was mad though...

*mumble* *mumble*... *low shout*son of a bitch*low shout* *talk about bartending*

V, M, R, Dr and I had to work on a group project. We had to write a shared analysis on the last chapter of Siddhartha, produce a creative piece (each), and have draft and progress log, all attached to a board. Then we had to have all the writing on a separate portfolio... Ugh. So we finally decided to start working on it since it's due tomorrow. I arrived at R's house at like 2:00. The rest couldn't show up due to sickness, celebration, and other mysterious occurrences.

R's mom left fruit and purple blue chips for us when her parents went out. R and I started making the outside of the board (now that I think about it, there wasn't really a point since it was totally our own idea and we just gave ourselves more work; all for the sake of earning points for creativity!) Then we had a really long break. We listened to each others' music and look at some of P's Facebook pictures (:P who knew P, Dn, and B hung out together?!) After all this, I freeloaded food off R (whole grains bread---there's like, everything in there, tea---the tea ball is awesome o_o, and milk :P) We just finished the optional outside when her parents came home.

We started the inside. We made a tree collage :P We laminated it. There was a shortage of the same shade of blue construction paper. We ended up making a fucked up mosaic of different shaded, large squared, construction paper (my cousins' paper cutter comes in good use at times like these)---half of which, I didn't notice until it was almost time for me to go home so I had to hurry. We laminated Brahman too.
Spray Glue Pros & Cons
Cons Pros

• It's quick.
• It's cool.

Pros Cons

• It stinks.
• It sprays everywhere.
• It's not as sticky as it should be.

Conclusion: Don't bother with Spray Glue.

In the end, I had to go home. We didn't finish much...only like 1/2 the board. I bet no one in our group even started their creative piece (I probably won't finish mine either.... Our class meetings didn't consist enough of group discussion so the share analysis couldn't be done. We are screwed.

My finals are coming up. I didn't start studying at all. My global and biology finals are on Wednesday. Those are the subjects I suck at most and need to study the most---FYI; I am screwed.

P.S. R, the third eye on Brahman, needs the whites behind the pupil. Try white-out? O.o

Yes, I know I'm blogging when I should be finishing my spanish and math homework, write the draft essay for my biology final, and finish the english shit. I tend to do this a lot---especially when I'm too lazy to bother or too anxious from worry.

Edit: Lol, Thanks Janie, for pointing out my Pros and Cons error :3

I've been getting a few physicial education related injuries lately. Yesterday, during a game of volleyball, K was passing the ball over to my team and when I was turning to move for rotation, it hit me squarely on the jaw and dislocated it a little. During basketball, Pat pass the ball to me and it hit my chest. After 8th period, I forgot my gym clothes so I had to go back to the previous classroom to get them and while I was hurrying down the stairs skipping a step, I missed my footing and twisted my ankle.

Although that lady was at the lockers, I managed to sneak passed her so I didn't have to go to the 8th floor \o/!

I am convinced I've failed the writing portion of my Spanish finals. I didn't do any studying the previous day so I took my notes and studied on the train. It just so happened that I didn't have the good notes that included the worksheets and tests with me because I'd put them in another folder which I left at home.

Physical Education is such a pain. Since the beginning of the year, it's been causing me problems. On the first day we used the gym lockers, by the end of the period, I'd gotten mine switched with someone else's lock and was never able to exchange back. I didn't want to waste $12 to buy another lock from school so I decided to just use the store bought one I was planning to use for a personal locker. Up till now, I've no trouble getting into the locker room to change and suddenly, today, the female gym teacher who validates our entry, wouldn't let me in since my lock wasn't bought from school. I was pissed and tried to negotiate but she just wouldn't agree. I end up having to climb five floors of stairs to get to the 8th floor gym and explain/complain to Mr. Kono about the lock. He allowed me to change in the 8th floor locker room. This sucks because this would mean that I had to go all the way up to the 8th floor from the first when the period is over. Luckily, I was able to hitch a ride on the elevator after class and wasn't late for class. My problem now is, I don't plan on buying a new lock and if that old hag still won't let me in, I'm gonna be stuck with the risk of walking 16 flights of stairs. I'm screwed. @#$% that bitch.

I got hurt in gym again >.> During basketball, I tried to catch a ball and it ended up punching me in my left eye. It hit me again later in the same area =.x

Labels: lock, phys. ed

Lmao, I'm not mad anymore P... However, try it again and be prepared to have your ass chased down.

Before R left, P tried to drag M and I along to go with him to his faraway station. We ended up getting into a kick fight before I had to cross the street. It must've been a real spectacle for the people across. After R left, P dragged me by my book bag, as I attempted to escape, to go to his Atlantic Avenue station >.> I wanted to go to Dekalb and M and I were going to Altantic Avenue (& Pacific Street) anyway so we tried to convince him that if he came along, he'd be able to take his stupid 5 train. I managed to make two breaks for it but due to the limited amount of stamina I had, P managed to capture me again. In the end, we ended up going to Dekalb on the condition that we walk P to his train. Even then, I was dragged along. Man, it sucks how we were taking the M train to Atlantic and M could've took it home. When we arrived at Atlantic, the my N train came and we had to give that up to accompany nagging P.

I saw a flat dead cat on my walk home. It was literally flat, although because of it skeletal structure and all, it still had some depth. I passed it with no mind since I thought it was sleeping. However, it was suspicious how the cat was next to a tire >.> I think the car the carcass laid next to was the one that ran it over. I would've not been able to tell since there was no blood. Ah... I had the urge to take a picture but didn't have my cell. Then I wanted to take out some paper and write "I ran over a cat and didn't notice" and stick it to the window of the car. Then I would've written, "Please bury me; and not in garbage" and leave the note next to the cat. I had the delusion that the car owner or the people who lived in the house it died in front off, would've shoveled it into a garbage bag. I think that was the fate of the cat that used to hang out in my backyard. I heard that my neighbors threw it in the trash and then I imagined them chopping it up first or something ~.~ In the end, I just walked away because it would be weird if someone saw me do what I thought; there were people on the street. I told my mom about it when I got home. She saw it too, when she went to buy the newspaper. I assumed that was the morning and so the cat was probably there for a hours now... probably still there >.> R.I.P.

Lol, I decided to add new music, this time, they're entirely english =_=" Anyway, I just spent 3 hours setting up the player; I'm wasting away my life... should've worked on my Stray Dog blog's layout instead >.>"

Now to talk about the music :P... at 2:20 in the morning.
Erika - Relations: Sounds like Cascada?
LIGHTS - February Air: Techno/Dance -- I dunno, not much of a fan of the genre but its alright.
MC Frontalot - Shame of the Otaku: Probably the only song that has asian lyrics.
Owl City - The Saltwater Room: I found both the name of the artist and title unique. It reminds me of Daft Punk.
The Bird and the Bee - Come as You Were: My favorite of the five, it's catchy... similiar to Chairlift/Dido/Jem?

I got pegged in the stomach with a volleyball today. It hurt like shit. I actually heard the hydrochloric acid in my stomach make a swishing sound (I'm hungry and theres nothing in there but liquid).

I think phys. ed. is very funny for some reason. I laugh every time someone hits the ball. That volleyball must've somehow hurt my head and deleted some brain cells along with bruising my stomach.

I should be doing my spanish project given a few weeks months ago and I wait till last minute. *sigh* Looks like another all nighter and I'm not gonna be able to go on the computer over the weekend because I'm taking all of my brother's computer time.

I was mad piss yesterday. I found out that my DDP-PLTW blackboard site got deleted due to inactivity for 30 days. I think I should've at least gotten a notice. I'm sure they sent it, just never got it. This happened before with my other school/educational site Common Concept (collective of school-related sites concerning projects and such) and it made me want to drown in tears. I worked really hard on the layouts and such; made it all from scratch without photoshop coding and designing. I think I got over it. Luckly, I was smart to back-up the whole DDP site ahead of time so I just had to reupload 100 mb of shit.

I spent a lot of time helping P make a Hate Mikhail and probably some school related purpose forum. It'll be open sooner or later: Here (P wanted me to remove it). Still in progress stages.

I though I had more to write today but I can't remember. I'll edit this when it comes back.

It is times like these when I love biology. Yesterday, Mr. Weber introduced us to nerdcore hip hop and its just ownage. This is the song he let us listen too and below are some of my favorite lyrics xD.
MC Frontalot - Diseases of Yore
Maybe you’ll never die,
maybe you’re going to live forever
and never have anything wrong with you,
and until you do,
you won’t worry about it.
‘Cause you’re probably fine;
maybe you should pretend to forget to remember
the bullet that’s meant for you,
until it’s overdue,
and it runs you through.

Ugh, I hate this space, oh well... I tried to fix it ;O If you like this, check out Shame of the Otakus~

Apparently one of my nightmares came true because today, I was late for school. Something went wrong with my mom's alarm so she couldn't wake up to wake me up at the usual time. I actually woke up at 7, the time when I'm supposed to be leaving the house. I go to the train station to see 1-9 period students =3= It's to early for them~ they should stay home later so they won't have to make a big crowd to get into the school ;_; Lucky for me, I'm smart enough to transfer to the R train at 59th street instead of Atlantic-Pacific. No offense, but I find people who don't transfer when the train is right there, pretty stupid. They'd rather stay on a crowded train and wait to transfer later, than go to the train they'd transfer to anyway when it still had seats and it was right there in front of them. Today, the N train arrived at Atlantic later than the R (usually, it's the other way around for me), so the R closed its doors and left when the N train came into the station---bet that would teach those people next time if they got the transfer early idea into their heads.

We started talking about writing in English today and the teacher asked who wrote everyday and boasted about he used to write 3-4 hours everyday in the past (inhuman thoughts: lowlife). Does typing on a blog count for writing daily?

Yesterday, I had a strange dream where I was at school (after vacation) and I was let out early from Mediation. I thought I was going to be early to my last period class but then the bell rang and I was in the north side of the building; I needed to get to the southeast side. I don't know, but I suddenly didn't remember the room number and was to lazy to look at my schedule so I "improvised" and just kept walking up and down the stairs. I was blocked off by a library so I had to go up and down again and was late. I got to class and everyone was outside, the biology teacher was going to take us somewhere or whatever so I just sneaked into the crowd. What's strange was that the biology teacher in my dream was an old woman instead of my actual teacher whose a middle-age man. I didn't bother to know why and when we got to our destination, I realized the attendance has been taken so I hurried to look for the teacher and tell her I was late but she was no where to be found. The fear of having a cut card (or whatever they give for cutting class) scared me and I ended up waking up.

Today, I had another weird nightmare where I went to an after school play and it sucked because people had to sit in those metal folding chairs and the legs didn't have the covering so every time the chairs moved, it made that screeching scratching chalkboard noise. I don't remember anything pertaining to the play and afterward, we could all leave. I told someone to get my bookbag for me because I had to go somewhere and when that person gave me the bag, it turned out it wasn't mine. I was already outside of the school and I needed to get in to find my backpack but I knew the security lady wouldn't let us in again (this happened in reality). I panicked since I had my books, notes and schoolwork in there. I woke up but went back to sleep for another three hours.

How my year ended: Finished two math homeworks; six more to go. Finished biology homework~I didn't need the computer at all xD So yea, I was finishing up some schoolwork. It just so happens that I've been staying up till 1:00 or 2:00 each day during my winter vacation and waking up around 11 ~ 1. Yesterday, I decided to go to sleep earlier for no apparent reason (around 11?) after I finished reading Artemis Fowl: Time Paradox (took like three months xP). I tried to go to sleep with the lights on because I was already laying on the bed and was to lazy to get up to turn it off, so I was half asleep because the lights and the sound of the fireworks kept me up partially as well.

I'm not so enthusiastic about a new year, maybe it's because its a regular day for me. I'll have to wait till February to be excited about Chinese New Year since I'll finally get money (I hope I don't waste it all or loose half of it like I did last year >.>").

My Resolutions:

• Pass Freshmen year without a lot of problems and good grades.
• I swear I thought of another one... ;_; I can't remember. GET A JOB! I am desperate for decent part time work!

Yea, not much.

Oh yea, Happy New Year!
