  • How I Despise Mild Days...

      *burn burn burn* Oh la vache. Oh là là. Zut toi, Panda! :d




    Anyway! Today, from 9 a.m. - 12 p.m. there was the Lyric Theater Warehouse Clean-Up event for KEY Club. Pretty fun. Lots of sawdust everywhere. For me, it started off kind of... badly. But as time went on it got better :]. The people at the warehouse place were really nice! The "Swine Flu" masks that they provided us (and Vincent T. passed them out to us) smelled really... smelly. It wasn't fresh, that's what I could say. Jessica Hartono made me a "scary looking" person by taking me hood and tightening it, so that all you could see was the mask and a... hooded head. o_O Pretty weird. Also, since I couldn't see through my hood and thus was blinded, I was pushed around and abused with the voices of "Follow me!" Pretty hilarious xP. Sorry Cynthia about the blueberry doughnut D: . You didn't have to eat it *excuse!*

    On another note, I've got to stop myself. Teach me a lesson, please. Zut, I'm too attached.

    Tomorro    w is the Peninsula Holiday Project Ice Cream Social at Menlo Park. Why so far? Should I look forward to it? Boo.

    Homework's a ©PewPew. *Sighzor.

  • Selfishness & Recognition

    I don't think I remember my day so well...

    [School] Day Blog:
    Chemistry - Basically we just learned more about metallic bonds. Mr. Macasaet was going crazy again with his lesson plan for today. He went to the back of the classroom and wanted someone to go up and teach the class about how metallic bonds work and why & how magnesium atoms bond together. Such torture. Tomorrow we have a Unit 2 Test. *reviews*

    English - We had homework that I didn't know about (forgot? No, I don't remember even hearing it... :<) so I didn't get a stamp from Ms. Kennett. Wah. Ms. Kennett's "highly encouraging" us to donate canned foods for the canned food drive (She wants to have the most cans. Grr that lady!). She's "highly encouraging" us because we have an essay that's due on Friday, and she barely even explained it to us -.-. She says for every twenty cans the class donates, we get an extra day to write our essay, with a maximum of five extra days. Our class, today, only had 9 cans... while the other two periods got 30-40 something! My period sucks. We talked about the poems we read yesterday for the rest of the class time.

    Break - I hung around with Olive and Rin in Madame Beaupré's room *and avoiding the sophomore bench area...*. Madame told me that Olive has this... speaking abnormality. Haha, apparently! Something about the ending sounds or something. "Say tests." "Tests." It's kind of strange how Madame notices this, but Rin, Olive's sister, hasn't noticed this! And moi, I haven't noticed this either and I've been her friend for about a year now! How strange!

    Math - Had a quiz on sections 3.1 - 3.3. I thought I was going to totally bomb the test, but it seemed pretty easy. I "double-checked" my answers and I thought I got them right. The only thing I was unsure about was the compounding interest question. I think.... Ah, whatever.

    French - I didn't have my 4 colons homework.... I did it though! This morning has I was going into Chemistry class and Tony was going out of it, he asked me for my homework because he was unsure of the words that we were supposed to write. I didn't get it back before fifth period though... what a shame. I guess it's my fault for being in Madame Beaupré's room during break. I should have did it in the beginning of class and not get a zero... but I didn't because I felt like I deserved a zero for my mistake... -_- yes I am that stupid. Je suis bête, n'est-ce pas Cynthia? In class today we filled in parts of the verb chart packet that we got yesterday, and then we did this métro thingy. Madame de Beaupré~ *bows down*

    Lunch - Went to the ping-pong club meeting, and then I went back into Madame's room to hang around with Olive and Rin. I need to stop talking french to Rin because I don't know what's she's learned so far and I always say things that she doesn't understand yet.... Quel dommage. Olive was drawing her... sexy bone. Je ne sais pas.

    P.E. - We ran the mile. Nothing special. I forgot Jessica Hartono's water service. Rebecca proudly showed off her huge nasty bruise that she got from soccer from Aleeya (spelling? x_O) to Mr. Simos. Funny stuff. Tony, Chad, and Rebecca were talking about all this Vietnamese stuff.

    World History - We continued reading Things Fall Apart. Then, since our class doesn't pay attention, Mr. Berry gave us a reading check even though he didn't give one to any of his other classes. I think I failed it T_T I'm sorry, but the book is so hard to understand and the man who's reading it (audiobook) is so slow and speaks in monotone. After that we read over our Ritual homework. After that... we compared our Unit 1 Pre-test with our Unit 1 Test. I got a 39/40 on my test, which is awesome-possum. I missed the question about "What did the Magna Carta bring us?" Something along those lines.... After that, we did our first Quick Write for Unit 2. When the bell rang, Dennis, Joanna, and Tobey stalked me, standing outside of the classroom. Creepy.

    After school - Did the CSF name tag activity. Basically, it was writing and decorating name tags for a Christmas Carnival. Dennis, Cynthia, and Joanna kept on using markers and drawing/writing on me -_-. We're so stupid and there was so much laughter at our stupidity as well. After the event I walked home with Cynthia, Danica, and Tobey, but Danica left when she got to her house, so it was just the three of us, again (like yesterday). Stupid stuff. Sorry Cynthia because I dropped your Calc book and French workbook... je suis bête. Tobey's a super-pig when he goes to 7-Eleven.

    Random Space:
    Zut, I'm so confused.

    It's strange how I am witnessing my family growing up nowadays. I remember clearly and it seemed like not so long ago that I needed a stool in order to reach the bathroom sink, that I sat in one of those baby seats in the car, that I had a SQUEAKY voice (right, Emily?). Over Halloween weekend, my relatives went to Tahoe, and my parents were talking about how my cousin, 18 years old, is driving from here to Tahoe, a four-hour trip (with his parents/aunt in the car. In other words: he drove his parents. Oooh!). They were saying "Wow"-this and "Wow"-that. My brother is going to college (I think...) soon. The two little brats that I used to call my baby cousins aren't-so-baby anymore. So many things, and it's all so strange...

    High school days go by so quickly. Well, they go by so fast compared to middle school days anyway. I think it's only me that thinks this, though. I feel like every day goes on the same. 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th period. It's always in the same order, unlike the rotating schedule we had in middle school. It's always the same routine, and I feel like the class time goes by so much more quicker. Start with Chemistry. After break is Math Analysis. After lunch is P.E. I end with World History. It's so... so boring.

    Zut, I need to get back on track. During break and lunch, do I hang out in the Sophomore area with the "usual" people, hang out with Michael H. because he seems so darn lonely, or with Olive and Rin in Madame's room? Uggernaut.

    Two funny/awesome french videos:


    Thanks Austin Phung for showing me these two. :D

    Oof, it's 10:00 p.m. Chumchumchum Zomzomzom Ajajaja.

  • C'est l'Halloween!


    (Why did the person have to remove the video D;)
    Isn't that the best Halloween song you've ever heard in French?

    Here I am, at home, on Halloween night. Am I an idiot for denying several invitations to go out trick-or-treating with my friends? Possibly.

    But alas, I had no costume anyway. As much as everyone wants me to be Harry Potter, that does not exist! My costume is what I'm wearing right now: PMS sweats and shirt. I'm a middle schooler, yeah! ... No.

    My brother's out trick-or-treating. Dressed up as Kyon... ;-;. And he's out with the seniors and the sophomores *shivershiver.*

    I'm going to spend my night with technology... internet & video games.


    K-pow!

    Yes, I am random!

  • À quoi ça sert l'Amour?

    It's such a beautiful song... and the animation in the video is superb too.

    Day Blog:

    Morning - My dad got two new loaves of sandwich bread. One is "Potato" and the other is "Buttermilk." He gave me two toasted slices of each and then he made me guess which one was which and, when I was done, which one I preferred to eat. Which one did I like better? I had no idea. Car ride to school. I went inside the hallway to where Jaspreet and Hannah were. Hannah asked me for help on the french oral. Pointless, though, when she kept on saying "Je ne sais pas" (I don't know) as a response to all the questions I asked -_-. Jaspreet wanted help on her candy drawing for her art class. Didn't really know what to add on to her drawing. It was pretty plain and the shadow was bleh. Yeah, I suck =].

    Chemistry - Going into the classroom and looking at the huge chart for the boardwork was intimidating. Blahblahblah. There's not much to mention. More lecture stuff. Mr. Mac's giving extra credit for paper towels, Mother/Son Father/Daughter dance, and wearing a costume tomorrow. Gurjit wasn't here [again], and I didn't really notice until about half of the class period. Near the end of the period, Dennis was going through the Pre-cal book, and then we were all going crazy about all the stuff like conic sections, matrices, and those sequences and series things. Crazy stuff.

    English - Uh... we prepared for our skit for the poem The Rock Cries Out to Us Today by Maya Angelou for thirty minutes, and then we performed our skits at 10:00. Pretty rushed in my opinion. Out of the three skits in our period, I thought that the one I was in, the Rock, sucked. The Trees were awesome, and the River was good as well. Oh well. Ms. Kennett says we have an essay-test tomorrow. That sucks :[.

    Break - Hung around with Michael. Michael's my "Canadian twin," at least that's what people say. (Jessica Hartono wants to see him, haha). All that really happened was talking, walking around campus, getting his brunch, and going back to his math class. When the bell rang to go to 4th period, I walked with Rebecca. She had her balls today.

    Math - Turned in the 3.1 homework. I'm blind. We did the classwork for 3.2 today, and then started on the homework.     Tracy's "the best" and as weird stories, hah! Poking her is fun, and her story about brushing her hair is funny. (Verb tense is horrible here... O_o I'm weird for noticing)

    French - Madame Beaupré was finishing up the french orals, while the rest of the class was working with yesterday's weird assignment. I was annoying Tobey and Michelle a lot. Michelle thinks I'm weird :o. I think Andy thinks the same. We watched a music video of "À quoi ça sert l'amour?" Beautiful.

    Lunch - CSF Meeting. I ate one of AnnaJo's dumpling leftover things. Thanks gal. The Pie Bake is on the same day as the St. Jude Give Thanks Walk, quel dommage. I want to go to both, but I'm leaning towards the Pie Bake because CSF doesn't have that much activities to do... =P. After that I hung around with the "usual." AnnaJo was escaping the bees in the air. Talked about random things. I carried Cynthia's calc book and AnnaJo's spanish book because they're lazy bums I'm nice that way. Cynthia took my binder, though...

    P.E. - Played soccer. I didn't know if I was a halfback or a forward. Confused the heck out of me. I suck at this sport, and some people don't think I'm on their team and they chase after me.... At the other game, Allison sprained her ankle near the end of the period and Chad carried her out of the field. When it was time to go, Mr. Simos sent us to the locker room. Since he was the only male P.E. teacher in our period, we couldn't get into the locker room because he was waiting at the track/field for the [golf] cart to get Allison and bring her to the office or something. The bell for the end of the period already rang and Mr. Simos came to open the doors five or so minutes after that. Changed and walked to my 7th period. AnnaJo was around and told me, "Me and Cynthia (and someone else? I don't remember x_X) were hanging around Berry's room waiting for you!" I gave her spanish book back, and she took Cynthia's book and walked to Ms. Kennett's room to give it to her.

    History - I walked into the classroom. Today was the seating change and I didn't know where to go. Mr. Berry already knew about the P.E. thing, and he had my binder (creepy), so he handed it to me and told me my new seat. I sit in front of Connie! That's one nice thing. We started reading this new book which I forgot the title of. I don't understand it though, because I suck at reading the first parts of novels. After that, we played the Name Game. It was funny. Mr. Berry stopped us and told us that we were going to continue tomorrow because we didn't have enough time to finish the game. I'm the second-to-last person in the game, bleh. Connie's last, though, which sucks for her.

    Afterschool - Walked home. Pretty suck-ish, if I do say so myself. You were so close...

    Random Space:

    This week, even though it hasn't ended yet, was pretty crazy. From the two car crashes (glad that no one got seriously hurt) and all the other injuries (Like today, where I was doing something stupid and fell down hard&loud at the dinner table. Je suis bête, n'est-ce pas?), to the crazy amounts of homework, it was something. I've been making the stupid choices, I think, by avoiding certain people (trying?) and being all energetic, dead, and moody. I haven't been thinking straight, and I'm being a total jerk to myself by not talking with this one person. As much as I want to, I can't bring myself to actually go up and be a bother. Something I feel good about this week is giving $9 to Olive & Rin for their "war fund" (nice cover-up, haha!). Hope you two have fun now! Oh, and, don't feel bad! I'm happy to help you, and what you've put up with with me around in your life is priceless stuff and nine dollars is nothing compared to that.

     

    My grades, even though they're good, I feel so horrible about them. The B- I have in English is on the border with an 80.23%. I think English is the only class where I'm truly struggling [to keep a high grade] in. All the other classes, even though I have A's in them, are so hard to keep up. French might be the easiest, and P.E. as well if I don't slack off. My P.E. teacher makes us write essays for each unit (and he actually grades them, unlike Camacho). He also has skills tests for each unit (which I lost a point on on the Basketball unit). History... it's pretty mellow. Mr. Berry's cool but he doesn't really give that much homework, and the majority of the grade is based upon projects and what we do in class/participation. Math is hard to keep up because all of Mrs. Macasaet's quizzes and tests are so crazy it's crazy. Luckily, though, I got a 70/70 on the Chapter 2 test, which I was so surprised about.

    --
    I have a project for history to do that's due tomorrow. I haven't started yet. Eekness! Ta-ta!

  • Unexpected

    I was going to go and write up an entry about my weekend. Some things turned up and my mood was just totally killed. I'll briefly state some things just for the sake of jotting it down:

    Friday night - I went to California's Great America with Danica, Elaine, and Carolyn for the Halloween Haunt thing. Had a great time. Stayed until the closing time, which was 12 a.m. Never stayed out with friends that late. Tired afterward. Like I had already said though, I had a great time =].

    Saturday night - Light the Night. I got lost in the beginning. I felt like I was bothering and annoying three people for directions. In the end I followed these three KEY Club people to get there. Saw something I don't think I should have seen.... Played around with people. Sorry Cynthia. Erica, you disturb me. Sorry Ben =P. Nice to see you again, Alex.

    Sunday - I read The Joy Luck Club for the majority of the day. So many pages I burned through. I better understood the daughter chapters than the mother ones, possibly because I'm too Americanized. I planned to finish reading at 7 p.m., but I finished at 2 a.m. It's not called procrastinating... it's called not killing myself and family business.

    --
    I'm ruining my own life.
    I am the only one to blame, because no one else is doing anything to harm me.
    Every person I meet, they have something that brings me down. I don't work hard enough.
    I am lucky to have the life I have, but I am not happy with it. Why am I so selfish?
    I've lost something that I never had. I making myself believe that all those things you've told me are pure lies.
    Lately, thoughts have been overflowing my mind... I need to find somewhere to dump them all.

    Alum Rock...

  • AIDS Walk

    UGH. So sick... my throat was in pain and my voice was crapped up.

    So today was the 20th Annual Walk for AIDS. Pretty crazy stuff. Seemed less crazy than last year. I don't know why.

    After waking up early, going to church, and coming home to eat a little breakfast and take some medication, I left the house at around 8:10 a.m. to go pick up AnnaJo. Her house was all the way up in the hills, and to get to the doorstep, I had to walk up like fifteen steps.... My dad dropped us off at the Children's Discovery Museum, which is where the giant [dirty] rubber duck resided [on top of the building]. We walked towards the giant monopoly board place and... darn. Darn it, I'm forgetting. Someone said "Hi" to me first.... Ugh, whatever. I remember Dennis going, "Hey, HEY. *glares with chinkiness*" Uh... I saw people. There :d. Stole Cynthia's hat a few times, in which ended up of her chasing me and beating me up. Alex Nguyen, the freshman in college, was here! It was crazy, and he kept on harassing us people, just like old times. Especially Cynthia, he scarred her the most.... Hm... Terrence was molesting me, Cynthia stripped me of my jacket, and Jessica caught a grasshopper. Blahblahblah. I walked with Dennis, Danica, and Cynthia for most of the time. Julina came! and Linda too! Pretty crazy stuff. After all that walking stuff, we got food (sandwich + chips! Yum). Danica got this blueberry or cinnamon pastry or some sort. I remember her saying blueberry... and then she said cinnamon when she was talking to me So, I don't know. As the event was ending, people started leaving. Everyone was gone except for Jung, Joanna, and me. We walked into the museum thing because Jung wanted to go in. As we walked in this guy was like, "Excuse me, do you guys have a membership?" Jung: "Oh crap, we need a membership? *walks out*). After that we were walking in the front of the... place. Jung was dragging this rock on the ground with his foot/shoe. It created this whole line you could see, which was his pathway. At the end her wrote on the ground (like chalk): "69 Daniel Was Here." Boo. On the way to dropping off Joanna at her house, she saw this ice cream truck. "Oh look! Ice cream truck. Why does the ice cream man have a pink turban? He scares me. He reminds me of a terrorist. Daniel, you should get an ice cream truck." Waddaheck?!

    So yeah, the event was a pretty good one. It would be a lie to say I didn't have fun. It's a shame that I didn't really blog about it thoroughly.


    Couldn't find a ©Panda one...

  • PSAT

    Yay for Puh-Saht? Hm.

    So, I woke up at 7:20. When I woke up, I had that crap Student Guide to the PSAT/NMSQT™ next to me on my pillow x_O. You must be thinking, "Wow, that's pretty pathetic." Yes, I agree with you, because I didn't even study. I was just quickly scanning the information the night before, and I apparently fell asleep :[.

    When I got to school, I saw Paula and we said Hello. I also saw Jodie too, and she has her test at F-15, while mine was at F-14, poo. Kind of wish I was in F-10, hm? Oh well.

    So, when I got in the classroom the only person I really knew was Alan. So I sat next to him. Later, when other people started to come in, I recognized Anna and Stephen.

    The test was pretty mellow. The "Critical Reading" parts were mind-blasting. A lot of tricky crap there, and not knowing the definitions of certain words [obviously] screwed you over. The math parts... weren't that difficult. Although... every time I saw a geometry-related problem, the thing that popped into my mind was: Ms. Umali's Geometry Class in 8th Grade. Pretty creepy. I find it confusing how I remember all this geo stuff, though. Must've been on crack. Some, apparently simple, questions stumped me though, such as this one question that went something along the lines of "Mark ran 7 miles per hour. Blah ran 5 miles per hour. Mark and blah got at this one place at the same time. If Mark ran 4 more miles than Blah, how many miles did Mark run?" Our class didn't get any breaks for the approximately three hours of testing. Boo.

    After the test, I found Rebecca, and then left. Found Joanna, who kept on saying, "Where's Dennis?" I found Ben & Brittany. Blahblahblah. I saw Cynthia from afar, but didn't want to go to her. Moments later, though, she found me and struck my head =P. Dennis was finally found, too. The test ended at around 11:47 a.m. Talked with people until around 12:30 p.m. though. Joanna's sister came over and brought Joanna food: a bowl of noodles (with pink chopsticks!).

    AIDS Walk... AIDS Walk.... OH. Hey Panda, do you still need a waiver? Because I got a .pdf file of it. The power of e-mailing the executive director, eh?

    I feel abnormally tired. My throat's all icky. I don't know if it's because I got sick from all the sick people around at school, or from the energetic night at KEY Club's October DCM last night. Blah.
