School????? (◑﹏◐)

Sorry, I haven't posted in a few days...I've been so busy lately. It's the day before school is starting and of course I left everything to do for today. ⊙_☉#fml #ohwell  First of all, I did end up going to the game on Friday even if I was there for like six hours....atleast I got to see Raymond. ♥ I was gonna have him over yesterday....my parents are in Vegas....and what they don't know won't hurt them. ;) But with my horrible luck, his dad didn't let him come, so I had Mia over. She finally got back from Georgia and a hangout sesh was definitely well needed! As we always do, we basically just ate, played games, and watched tv. #weareproductiveaf

Gosh, I can't believe I have school tomorrow....#whyyyy ಠ_ಠ Even though I'm sort of ready to do something productive....that doesn't entail school. I just want to do nothing forever. #potatolife The only thing I'm looking forward to is seeing my friends and especially Raymond. ♥ I was planning on studying for my Chemistry test on Tuesday...but...ya know, I can just study tomorrow. #procrastinating4days However, I did finish the "atta-cats" award certificate for student council; I'm not even in student council, but Hailey recommended me for the job! ☺ I was actually really excited to make it because I'm really into that graphic design stuff. I've taken a few years of Graphic Design and Publishing, so I've already worked a lot with Photoshop, Dreamweaver, and stuff like that. ⌨ I don't know if it's exactly what I wanna do with my life, but I want something along the lines of graphic design to be part of my future career. I'm planning on going to the Art Institutes...but...it's going to take a lot of scholarships and work, but it's definitely worth the time. 

Anyways, I should probably bring Buster in before my parents get home from their trip. Or maybe not, he's sort of a douche. #yesadogcanbeadouche I'm gonna go eat anyway. #bagelbites4life

Let's Go To The Beach, Beach ♫ ♪ ♪ ♫ ♬

Today definitely had to be the most unproductive day of the break. In fact, the only thing I did accomplish was not accomplishing anything. #procrastinating4days Despite opposition, I actually did run this morning, even if it was a mere two miles at best. I was planning on getting my Chemistry homework done and studying for the test next week....but....Buster needed a walk, you know. (-'_'-) #hesreallyobese We ended up taking the tsunami trail to the beach, stopping every minute for me to take some instagram worthy pictures of scenery and Buster. ☼ ☀ ☁ #instagramthatshiz We even stayed at the beach for a while, him running away from the water as I sat down on the rocks. I even got to bury him in the sand, which is incredibly difficult considering his jittery Chihuahua nature. #hewasntthrilled  Once I got back, my mom left to work and she left on the HGTV channel......it was not good....I totally didn't spend three hours watching House Hunters. (*_*) #pickhousenumbertwo

Then, I finally made some bean dip and went downstairs because my dad had gotten home from work. The channel happened to be on Project Runway....I'm a sucker for that show! (♥‿♥) #watchedawholeseason #YOLO  Nick didn't end up coming home with us yesterday, and he finally got here this evening. #letthegamingbegin  But, he brought home Rachel....no more games for me.  ಠ_ಠ #fml  We did play this weird electronic Monopoly though; we hooked up my mom's iPad with this app, and it kept track of our money, properties, exchanges, and even had games on it for special events. It was definitely better than normal Monopoly, but I still hate the game with all my heart. #monopolyiswherefriendshipsarelost  For once Nick got last, and it was refreshing to rub my second place right in his face!  凸(¬‿¬)凸 #Imadouche 

After a few rounds of ping pong on our old dining table, I think I'm gonna call it a night. Maybe tomorrow will be productive.....#bitchplease  Well, Raymond has a basketball game, so hopefully Nick will bring me to that. (▰˘◡˘▰) I would bring myself but I don't even have insurance; who has a license and doesn't drive? #asianscantdrive #femalescantdrive #theoddsarenotinmyfavor  >_<

I'm Coming Home, Coming Home ♫ ♪ ♫♩♬

Well, we're finally heading home today...thank god. >_< I can already tell now that I'll be sleeping like a baby the whole two hour ride home. #mattressworld Being the pest that he is, Mike woke me up this morning at nine! I didn't exactly hit the hay till three in the morning, so you could say, I wasn't exactly perky about the awakening. ಠ_ಠ Hopefully, my parents and Nick will be back soon from the golf tournament so I can make my escape! Mike is usually pretty cool, but at this point, I'm about to cut his throat. For a 23 year old, you wouldn't think he'd be so immature, but I guess it does run in the blood. I'm kinda a weirdo myself, but atleast it's only around close friends, well, most of the time....#Igotthoseherpaderpes (◕‿-) 

Oh, I almost forgot to mention my incredibly awkward encounter a few days ago.....oh god why. So, basically I was finishing my run and walking up the drive (which splits off into another road where other people live) and I see my brother Mike driving up the hill in his Jeep thing. #Idon'tknowcarsokay In the hopes of him giving me a a ride up, I'm waving my hands and shit, but you know, it's not getting his attention. So, I figured I'd jog in a retarded manor, and let's just say, I went full retard. #nevergofullretard Anyways, as the car is going by, I realize it's not Mike....I almost died inside. Turns out that our neighbors on the other drive had the same car as my brother. Absolutely mortified, I ran up the hill, trying to hide my embarrassment. #itwastoolate #Icanneverbeseenbythemeveragain #fml  Well, I'll never make that mistake again....T_T You have no idea how close I was to hitting the car too! I was planning on jumping on the hood to scare him....so glad I didn't. #hahaha 

I really need to start running more too....I'm supposed to be running everyday....but...#nahhh #mycoachisgonnakillme I know Track is quite a few months away, but it takes me a while to get in shape for running; especially when you have to run the 3000m. That's seven and a half laps around the track and almost two miles.  ☠ #it'snotasbadasitseemsthough I'm hoping to go to state for the third year in a row this season, but the competition is always so unpredictable. You would think this goal would motivate me....but...it really doesn't. I actually kind of hate running, but I'm somewhat decent at it, so why not? Well, Mikes out of the shower so I should probably wrap this up. Eh, nobody's probably reading this anyway. #truestory

New Years Party Of One*۰ Ձ٥۫١મ ۪ ҉

I had somehow managed to spend my second New Years alone....go figure.☠ I really should have just stayed home and snuck out, or at least I could have invited someone over. Well, too late now. I say this as I'm sitting in the apartment alone, waiting for someone to rescue me from my boredom. Any second now, Raymond would come bursting through the door, riding on a majestic stallion, pick me up, and take me away into the night. ❤ A girl can dream, can't she? #backtoreality Well, I guess snapchatting my prince will suffice for now...(๏̯͡๏

Now, where was my adoring family you may ask? Well, Nick had left with Rachel to some party, and they were out for the rest of the night. Mike was out with some "friends," and by this, I mean girls. Finally, my mid-life-crisis parents went out for a few drinks, and probably going to some clubs in the hopes of rekindling their childhood. Where was I in this picture? Of course, stuck alone....as always. I guess I didn't mind it that much anymore, I was solitary by nature, and I surely enjoyed my alone time. But sometimes I wish I could just hang out with some friends on these type of days, just be a  wreckless teenager for once, ya know? #YOLO 

Anyways, I have a few New Years resolutions of my own. Despite the usual mumbo jumbo about getting in shape and running more, I actually came up with something better...(≧◡≦) I really just want to be more approachable. Years of my awkward "be mean to guys" phase has left me with a pretty bitter reputation. This year I've been really working on it, but I guess there's always room for improvement. ☑ If only I could cross that off my list that easily. It's mainly just a few people who really despise me, but I've decided that I really don't care anymore. I didn't do anything to them besides be myself, and if that's a problem to them, then they can f*** off! 凸(¬‿¬)凸#strongindependentblackwoman

Well, I guess that's enough from me for the night. Happy New Years and to all a good night! #Ijustwantakissatmidnight #ohwell

The Hobbit Date (♥‿♥)

Finally saw the Hobbit today.....I have only thing to say....it was.....pretty damn awesome! ☻ After reading the books quite some time ago I didn't know what to expect, surprisingly, I was really satisfied with the first and second movie. Despite the three hours, I actually enjoyed every minute of it! The graphics and fight scenes were pretty amazing to watch! #TeamBilbo Although, I think my favorite part of the film was spending it with Raymond. (♥‿♥) Lets just say, we got some needed alone time. He even got to stay an hour at my house afterwards. Key and Peele may have been on, but both of us were focused on other things.... (◕‿-)  #makeoutsesh

Despite this being one of the best days ever, (cue the spongebob music) this is the last time I'm gonna see Raymond until the end of break. >_< #asianfamilyprobs If only my family was as cool as Mia's. (best friend) Her and her boyfriend Aidan spend almost every freaking second together. I don't know if I wanna see Raymond that often, but every weekend would be nice... (◑﹏◐) Sometimes I wish my parents weren't as strict as they are, but I guess it's made me the strong independent black woman that I am today. #justkiddingnotkidding

The boys left to Portland.... Mike isn't coming back.... ಠ_ಠ Me and my parents are meeting them tommorrow at the apartment and staying for the New Years, and atleast we're bringing Nick back; we got some Ratchet and Clank games to beat! Have I mentioned that Mike got me a super awesome Pikachu Pillow Pet??????????? #Pokemon4Lyfe  Now, let me finish my boring night with a dozen cheesy lifetime Christmas movies...凸(¬‿¬)凸

Boredom Blues ಠ_ಠ

Winter break went off with a good start for the first week, but as time is dwindling, so is my patience. It may be the abundance of re-runs I watch everyday. Maybe it is the exact meal of ten bagel bites I have for every meal. Or, it may even be the lack of my friends and boyfriend on Snapchat. #firstworldproblems Either way, I am still bored beyond another game of Bananagrams. Honestly, I had been bored all week, but I was hiding it behind the hours of scrolling on Facebook and looking on iFunny. #whydoIhavenolife 

Despite how pathetic all of this sounds, the highlight of my break is definitely going to be tommorrow. Finally, I'm gonna see Raymond ( my boyfriend ), and we're going to see the Hobbit in theaters! ☺ ♥ Now, for most people that's a regular thing, but being the stereotypical asian father, my dad isn't exactly open to the idea of me having a boyfriend. Now if you recall, I'm a junior in high school, and plenty old to go on a couple of dates with a guy I like/love. Yeah, I had pulled the "L" card a week ago, after all, we've been dating since June. I don't usually talk about this stuff, but he's perfect. I had never really had a boyfriend before, and this may just be the typical girl hormones taking over, but he his everything I ever wanted and more. (♥‿♥) #Imsuchateenagegirl Before I start to get all lovey-dovey, I'll just stop here. :p

Presents, Presents, and Presents! ۰۪۫ ۪۫☃۰۪۫ ۪۫

I can clearly remember the familiar scene of racing out of my bedroom every Christmas morning as a kid. I remember blankly stopping at the tree, myself in awe as I noticed the dozens of finely wrapped presents and the disappearance of cookies and milk. I even remember thanking Santa as I opened my many awaited presents. But of course, things are a little different now because now I am currently a junior in high school. Now, we open presents on Christmas Eve, we quit the Santa rituals, and usually get money instead of thought out gifts. I'm still pretty grateful for these things, but its a little depressing. I used to love opening all the small and personal gifts, for instance, my old tamagotchi. It was only $20 back in the day, but for some reason, it was way better than any other gift. Money is nice and very useful, but it's not that personal, even gift cards. ಠ_ಠ

However, this Christmas was pleasantly different. My main gift was an iPad Air, which my dad got free from work after buying a certain amount of supplies. It may have not cost him anything, but it was still a pretty amazing gift; as a matter of fact, I'm typing on it right now (got a keyboard case off Groupon)! My brothers' gifts were actually pretty good this year too. Nick got me six different playstation 2 games (we love the old game stations btw), four of which were part of the Ratchet and Clank series. We had previously played one of them a few years back, and Nick and I were crazy about the game! The gift was incredibly personal, and it was nice to know he gave effort this year besides the usual lotion and candy. Mike gave me Mario Party 9 ( we have Mario Party 8) and I thought the gift was pretty useful. I got some other assorted gifts: headphones, nail polish, but mostly candy. Overall, this Christmas was pretty successful, everyone loved their gifts and its great to finally have the boys home from college.  (◑‿◐)
