a while, once again

June 24, 2009 at 11:22 am · Filed under Uncategorized ·Tagged , , , , ,

I haven’t posted on this blag in a long time because I’ve had Horace as an outlet for my daily happenings. And Project Horace. Well, they’re basically the same thing lawl. Anyway.

Because I am a Mac whore,

Within two days I bought an iPhone 3GS and a MacBook Pro (13.3″). adsfkjwlkejrkwer. I need to earn a lot of money in the future so I can give back to my parents. A jillion dollars. A jillion dollars. So expensive. But sooo worth it.

Unfortunately I wanted to connect my external harddrive to the MacBook but it was like oh lalala Apple decided to use the Firewire 800 and f-ing change the port size on me. So I had to go to Fry’s and get a converter from the 6-pin to 9-pin. Oh dear. At least it was like $10 cheaper than it would’ve been from the Apple Store. Misers.

Started learning Python from this Intro to Programming course at UCI. Fortunately it is a lot easier than Java, and there are a lot of concepts about programming that I already understand. I really like this kind of stuff. It’s very interesting. Hopefully I can just start off doing EECS at Cal instead of having to wait an entire semester to transfer from Environmental to EECS. Blargggg.

I kind of miss everyone because I’m not going to all these grad parties and I’m looking on facebook at all of the pictures that I’m not in. Yes. Alas, if I’m going to be in California, why not go all the way? lawl but I will keep in contact with all my NJ people. Or at least as many people as I can. For example, Horace and Greg. Best friends ever.

Mochi passed away yesterday. He didn’t even make it to his first birthday, but he was able to celebrate all the birthdays of the rest of our family. Mochi traveled all the way to California even if he couldn’t walk, even if at the end he couldn’t even close his left eye because his entire left side became paralyzed. He was such a soft, cute cat. I cried when he left. Rest in Peace, Mochi; you will live a good afterlife/have an amazing reincarnation. Because you were so good to us, and we tried to reciprocate that as much as possible. We loved you, Mochi, and we still do.

…

I’m actually typing this during a Programming lecture. Fortunately I have already read the chapter and I understand it because it is so very silly. Or basic. Yes, basic.

Fiddling around with a new computer is so much fun.

I miss you all!

Horace, I have yet to type you like five billion emails. I will get started on that after I look through my class schedule for Cal.

what a happy person!

I need to get on this physics homework, stat.

I’ve been so tired these past two days; but I have a gchat boycott up so I’m going to keep that and continue to be productive until friday.

yup. other than that, I still haven’t read any manga. I’ve even neglected Big Bang a little. I still check popseoul and bbwordpress, but it’s NOT THE SAME.

Hahahaha I need to get a life if getting a boyfriend gets me distracted from everything else I do.

PB of 32′ 6″ in Triple Jump to place in finals of Lions, sucked at that but that’s okay. SJV meet today, thought I got first with my jump of 31′ 9.5″ but this SJV girl got 32 something so I lost by a mile ahahaha. Or at least almost a foot. Yeah I need to get working on that.

I have to continue to lose weight! I’ve even lost interest in eating a lot at one sitting (the only reason why I gained back some weight was because I ate out on Saturday: thai food lolololol), so hopefully that’ll help me get in shape for prom, california, etc.

I have to get started on Lit Mag editing…maybe I’ll have time tomorrow since I won’t be doing anything after-school except hanging out with Horace. again. hahahahahaha.

Bell called Horace and me the Power Couple. Apparently Obama and his wife are a power couple; so are Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt. He was like, “A Power Couple is a couple that a lot of people look up to; they’re really out there, and people want to be like them.” Plus everyone says we’re cute together so it’s great.

…

yeah I need a life. This entire post was about Horace. goddammit.

stress

March 28, 2009 at 9:55 am · Filed under Uncategorized ·Tagged , , , , , , , , , , , ,

Between college and prom, I’m getting kind of stressed.

I’m not exactly quite sure what to do with this stress, either. I can’t paint, because I’m done with that shit.

Hm maybe this is a sign that I have to hit the books. Homework,  I mean. I think it’d be nice to study a little bit to get my mind off life right now.

Regardless, it’s loads of fun being all gossipy and shit with prama. ‘Cause it’s prama.

Hopefully I’ll go with someone. Hahahah the future looks bleak but I’ll ask again after all this college shit, aka next week. Just to make sure.

The bad thing about prom is that it’s screwing with my feelings a lot and I’ve become very like ASDLFKJWLKEJKRJE DICTATOR shit. Yeah I don’t think I like anyone that way. At least today.

Welllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll this has been a vague post.

BIG BANG + 21 = LOLLIPOP?!?!?!?! asldkfjlwekjff this song is SO good. It’s Big Bang PLUS REPETITION!!!! YAYAYAYAYAYAYAY KOREAN SONG CRAZE OF 2009~~~~ besides TOP is absolutely amazing. And GD has his hair crimped like wtf hahahahahaha.

Yay the fact that I mentioned big bang in a post is a sign that I get to use the tag “g-dragon is the hottest guy ever second only to top” again!!!! It’s been a while since I’ve used that one. lawlawlawlawlawl. Eeeeeeek I love TOP’s hair in this commercial because it’s the same as it was in Uhm Jung Hwa’s D.I.S.C.O which is SO HOT. Like ohhhhhhhh my goddddddddd.

Yeah I’ve missed fangirling. A lot. Time to get into the mode agaaaaaainnnnnnnnnnnnn

excessive use of repetition of consonantssssssssssssssssssssssssssss

I realized yesterday that I have been able to triple jump for the longest time, just that my energy has been put in the wrong place for my jump. So now I feel like I can jump 30 consistently even without trying. ‘Cause I can jump like 26 from just jogging, which is fucking sweet. =DDDDDD

BYE TIM….iloveyou

Wahoo!!!!

March 17, 2009 at 6:58 pm · Filed under Uncategorized ·Tagged , , , , , ,

Yay running makes me happy even though I want to die during the 400 workouts. Cole and Kaci both said I did really well, although that’s because I stuck with Paula (and failed; came in like 2-4 seconds slower than her in every run. That’s okay though.

Went home and jumped rope, because I need to lighten up my step in like, life. Can’t triple jump or run without being less heavy on my feet. Also, it kills my knees and my general joint areas.

I finally have time to do the eco flyer!!! YAY!!!!!!!!! I am so happy to do this and get it over with. I just have to find a way to make it legible now hahaha. I also have to sketch out the career day canvas, but that takes a little more time so I think I’ll do that after I do some physics homework and feel more comfortable before taking Thursday’s test.

AIME was beast today. I could only answer 7 out of the 15 in a total of 3 hours. Whatever; at least I got to miss >50% of the day. It was great. I think I need to go to more econ; I’ve seriously missed it like 4 times in the past seven days. xDD

I find Farenheit 451 to be a pretty interesting book. However, I’m preoccupied with The Chronicles of Chretomanci: Witch Week right now, so I think I should finish that first. Diana Wynne Jones is an awesome children’s fantasy writer for the win. I need to start reading more educational books.

Wow ever since I got into college I’ve been feeling so much better about myself. That’s good.

On the Border on Friday with Niti and company. I am ridiculously excited. It is good.

Greg started calling me Lisa. Yaaaaaaaaay. Not that I have any objections to the name Paco. Calling me ‘Lisa’ just makes me feel more special, even though there’s no other Paco in the school.

I need to get around to rereading Shaman King in order to read Shaman King KangZengBang (the alternate ending) and get the full effect. It will be good time.

Okay now to work. I’m so optimistic about the rest of this week, too.

Good

March 16, 2009 at 11:10 pm · Filed under Uncategorized ·Tagged , , , , , , , ,

I finished my Pygmalion paper at around 12:30, which was good timing for me. Went straight to sleep after that and slept like a log for six hours.

Woke up ridiculously tired this morning. However, overall I had a very satisfying day; Horace, Dave and I (and Kathy, to some extent) made jokes in Econ the entire period by drawing in Horace’s APE. Every time Motz made a joke, Horace and I took that as our cue to burst out laughing because our sides (or at least my sides) hurt from shaking with laughter. I think we were all a litle tired from the research paper.

Best news ever today was that Whitten won’t be here for the rest of the week because her grandchild is getting born (yay!) and she’s going down to DC to wait. Oh, I am so happy. So, so happy.

I don’t understand why I don’t like her so much. Well, I do, but I’ve never felt odiousness for any teacher, let alone a teacher for English. Maybe it’s the amount of work she gives? McDonald gave a ton of work, but it was useful work, because we actually would go over it and she would write constructive comments. Whitten gives me a 42 out of 50 and tells me to change my writing style. My style is fine as it is.

It’s not that I’m just being stubborn, either; I really do like my writing style, and it’s perfectly clear, unlike what she may think. According to her, my style renders the text imprecise, and by  changing it I can convey my ideas better. Well, considering I didn’t want to waste paper, I confined my answers to one page. I used enough words for me to be able to look at my responses and relay them to my discussion group, to be clear to myself. I wrote down clear quotes that I could build upon if I needed to write a full-blown essay on any one thing. I’m not going to waste time writing explanations if it’s just a homework assignment, and I’m going to build on it through discussion anyway. Which I did. And she gave me a 40 out of 50.

I did put effort into the assignment. It’s not like I BSed it. I just put down key points that required little elaboration, and she accuses me of not being clear enough.

I don’t care that I got a 42 out of 50; it’s that my style was the reason for my 8 points off that irritated me. I can write. She knows I can write.

Maybe I’m bitching about this because I’m a 3rd MP senior and I can’t take criticism like I used to, because I think I’m close to perfect and ready for college. Or maybe the whit is not as passive as she makes herself out to be. Which she doesn’t.

Regardless, idk why I was kind of pissed at the assignment in general. It’s not like she took off half credit.

…she insulted my style in an effort to improve it.

Enough about that class…I care enough to not completely BS the entire thing, but I don’t even know what she grades anymore.

I love 2PM. Like…they’re nothing compared to Big Bang, but they’re so…awesome I can’t take it. Taecyeon is by far my favorite right now; he speaks ENGLISH! Yee!!! So does Jae Beom, and he is seriously black but not really but he lived in Seattle. Woot. Woo Young is probs my favorite Korean Korean member, because he’s so LOL in the 10 points out of 10 video. Which I have watched almost as many times as Haru Haru. I can’t wait for them to release their new single…IN DECEMBER. GAHHH FUCK.

I also found Super Junior’s comeback song “Sorry Sorry” quite catchy but the rabidness of ELFs (SuJu fans) repulsed me. Besides, there are 13 freaking people. It’s a colony.

TOP’s family was rated the best looking family in the Korean celebrity world of today. Yay. His sister is really hot, though. Yes that was not a creepy statement.

I have AIME tomorrow. It’ll be good time, because idk what I’ll be doing. Hahahaha I got 3 out of 15 questions. The good thing is, I’m pretty good at the geometry questions so I guess I’ll just focus on those.

I’m kind of giddy about getting the rest of my college decisions back now, since I know I can go to perfectly good schools even if I don’t get into Harvard and Yale and the like. Although UC Berkeley would be freaking awesome. I want Horace to get into a good school, too.

Thinking about prom but still haven’t decided when’s the right time to ask. Because prom IS in three months. That is quite a while. Maybe April.

Holmdel drama is loldel drama. Especially when it doesn’t concern me and when it is Asian drama.

The hurdling juniors need to stop acting like they’re badass and ignoring the rest of the group when stretching and doing drills  because they’re just looking like people who just disrespect. And that ain’t cool. Plus it makes them look like bitches and hoes.

Kev’s video was rather funny after I got the general gist of where it was going.

I’m just writing until I get enough inspiration to finish my poem for Lit Mag. Haha I am such a procrastinator.

I need to find some time to make a rough sketch of what I’m painting for Mrs. Butler. I also need to lose these five (or eight?) pounds that I still have from winter break. God fucking dammit. I know it’s all fat, too.

Wow now I feel kind of depressed. Dumb Whitten.

The weekend so far

March 8, 2009 at 7:14 am · Filed under Uncategorized ·Tagged , , , , , , ,

I was going to watch Watchmen on Friday night with Horace and Greg but that ended up falling through…something about fear of not getting tickets in time. So we went to Chili’s at 6:30.

Er. THEY went to Chili’s at 6:30. I got there at like 7, due to me being paranoid and calling the cops on the poor lady who came to our house to pick up her kid from dancing lessons, which we didn’t even have on Friday. Oh, awkward and lack of communication. In any case, it made for a great story to tell. =DDDDD

After Chili’s (and much bickering over the bill), went to Horace’s house to watch a movie: Oceans Eleven. OKAY I don’t know why I fell asleep within the first fifteen minutes (it was a GOOD MOVIE, damn), but I did. So I ended up sleeping for the rest of the movie…then going home. Hah. Yeah. Um.

Basically the only thing I did after I got home on Friday was sleep. Sleep until 10am Saturday. Best sleep this year. Woke up, fed Mochi, went to the bank, went to get breakfast for myself (woot Holmdel Bagel shop), decided to go route 35 all the way to Shrewsbury…why? I don’t even know. It seemed like a good idea at the time. Regardless, took ten minutes more than I should have getting to work. Still managed to get to work on time.

Spent the majority of work texting and calling to tag along with Kev to go see Watchmen that night with Kevin Li and Mike Choie. Good time. Didn’t do like half of my homework, but whatever. Got home at 6:22, fed Mochi, checked Caltech (score!), zoomed upstairs to take the quickest shower of my life, left the house at 6:38. Baller.

Watched Watchmen (looooool no pun intended). It was pretty good, I guess…I think reading the comic beforehand kinda ruined it for me but kinda improved it for me at the same time. Like, I understood the comic a lot more (until the very end, where the movie kinda completely deviates from the comic), and it was all good. I still think Janey Slater should’ve been hotter. But she wasn’t. And the Nite Owl was a doof. Veidt looked like Mr. Kinch for the first half of the movie, then he affected a crazy accent from who-knows-where. Rorschach was awesome…but that’s because he is awesome. Like awesome awesome. Yes.

Yeah, the movie was such bad end. I think that sort of bad end only works in a comic book…sigh. It was kind of amusing to step back from the scene where the Nite Owl and Janey “make love” in the friggin owl!ship and realize…wow, the guy can only get an erection from wearing his costume. Needs to get a life.

I’d give it like…8.35/10. It was good, but not like OHHHH MY GADDDDDD like The Dark Knight was. Or Transformers, or Ironman. lol.

Anyway, I need to spent the next three hours working my butt off and finishing my damn Italian project. Which I haven’t started yet. Bahhhhhhhh.

Got into Cornell, too! =D I’m feeling kinda blagh right now because I’m probably going to turn into the person who, after not getting into their early, applies to a bunch of good colleges and gets into all of them, thereby taking away spots from other potentially good Holmdel kids. Goddamn.

Serenity?

February 25, 2009 at 3:31 pm · Filed under Uncategorized ·Tagged , , , , ,

I feel unnaturally unstressed today.

All that remains of my Presidential Scholar application is Rose’s final edits, so I’m just waiting until she gets back from class.

A whole bunch of people came to the Lit Mag meeting today, which is very, VERY surprising. I think it’s probably because we actually advertised it this time and put up the flyers the day BEFORE the meeting…good times. I also used MS Paint for the flyer so that might have added to its attractiveness. Yes.

I have absolutely no tests tomorrow! My homework load today is also ridiculously light. Ah, it is a happy day.

I have  to watch Role Models (because I promised Niti) and I HAVE to have to finish reading this Death Note fanfiction. It beckons me.

The Physics quiz today went pretty well. I was surprised that no one handed in their papers after I had checked it a couple of times, so I was the first to turn in my  quiz. There’s a first for everything! And to think I didn’t know how to do rotational equilibrium problems at all two days ago…yay.

Today feels like a good day to read some Pinocchio or translate some Japanese.

I watched 2PM’s 10점 만점에 10점 MV finally (after several months of just…not watching it for reasons unknown) and it is one of my favorite ones ever. I think the lyrics are really lololololol and all the guys aren’t that good looking which makes it even more lol. I had a ridiculous text exchange with Caitlin yesterday that I posted in a facebook note, because I was just like “lololol how can you be made of so much fail freshman xDDDD” She didn’t get the Big Bang MV “Last Farewell and was asking these ROTFLOL questions at like 10:30 in the evening. Or night.

Wow I am ridiculously content today. Not hyper, just content.

My cough is getting better. Yay for me!

I should get working on some stuff to submit for lit mag.

Lisa

Had a long talk with Greg yesterday (not one of our marathon chats, but a comfortable 2 hours) about his life and my life and a bunch of bitching and complaining along the way. Yay stress.

I mean, it’s not like I don’t have senioritis or anything, I just feel like I’m working probably as hard as I did before midterms, just with less worry about grades. Although grades still do count very much because I am a grade-grabber. …to an extent.

Okay I need to learn how to do well in Econ because seriously, a B on my econ mp2 midterm report probably kills my chances of getting into ivies. >=0 goddamnit, hate being paranoid and schools being paranoid as well. Like I bombed…one test. dslalskdjflsdfs. and I got a 98 on the final? Yeah wtf I don’t even know.

In other news, I finally watched Afro Samurai: Resurrection. It was really weird for like the first five minutes because I didn’t know the storyline and there was basically blood everywhere (think: Kill Bill) and all the characters were in gray under a blue sky, but then it got really good so I’m satisfied. It was a good movie, and the soundtrack was killer amazing. Now to watch the anime, if it’s subbed or something. Teehee. Although I still have to finish Shibatora AND Proposal Daisakusen. It’s not like I don’t like either one of the two jdramas, it’s just that I’m not in the mood to watch dramas on a computer. lawl.

Yeah I need to start watching the office. cue Niti (wow for some reason I wrote ‘queue,’ couldn’t figure out why it was wrong, then had to look it up in a dictionary).

Basketball season is almost over, although I can’t make the last two games because of (1) IHS pasta dinner (GO DAMNIT, GO) and (2) work business. The latter because Mary was like, “You have to be there at the club next Saturday because of the USTA tournament that I’m doing” so I was like okay chill I just won’t go to Mater Dei then.

I’m excited for the pasta dinner, but I have to sell my tickets (goddamnit) and other shit. er I mean pickup. ‘Cause I have to basically drive around Wednesday and Thursday with Kealy and get all this food and shit.

Favorite song right now? Soulja Boy, Kiss Me Thru the Phone. Eeek it is so good, but it’s only 3:13…damn.

Second favorite song right now? Seung Ri, Strong Baby. I have no idea why I like it so much now, considering I hated its guts when it was first released on Big Bang’s 2nd album, Remember.

Funny thing happened last week. Allen was talking about how he can’t read comic books:
Allen: Yeah so I can’t read comics of any time. I don’t know, like even reading anime is like…
Paco: *quietly* manga. You read manga.
Allen: I had some bad experiences reading anime books-
Paco: It’s manga. You read manga. You watch anime.
Allen: And I don’t understand, really, how people read anime books-
Paco: *explodes* You don’t READ anime, you WATCH anime. YOU READ MANGA!!!!!!
Allen: *taken aback* Whoa, okay, there, Lisa…manga books.
Paco: zzzzzz that’s redundant zzzzz

It was rather lol because all the asians in the class wanted to blurt out that you don’t read anime. Sigh, ignorant non-nerds. =|

Okay I have to go do something productive now…like READ NARNIA!!! I’m on the fifth book out of seven! Next I have to read Seeing Redd, the second book in the Looking Glass Wars series. It is so damn good.

SHIT LIT MAG’S DUE ON MARCH 13TH AND I TOTALLY HAVEN’T STARTED ANYTHING FOR SUBMISSION. GODDAMNIT.

Hm I should lose a couple of pounds before track season starts, otherwise I’m going to trip over and die on Triple Jump. Sigh.

My mom fell asleep while flipping tv channels. So now since I can’t find the remote, I’m stuck watching some wrestling channel where the fights are all staged, the fighters all wear weird masks, the girls are all mentally psychotic and poor actresses, and no one follows the rules.

Oh, American culture.
