blend of lemons and sugar

loll...oh just your typical day in ap lit.

i don't know why my blog keeps recording that i update at the weirdest times. like 3 in the afternoon? i'm at school at 3...

so today started out as not such a great day. first of all, i can't seem to convince myself that school starts at 8:45. so i woke up with a jolt...again. and you know how i hate that. so i look at the clock and it's 8:54. perfect...so i kind of rush to get ready...then i think about it. do i really want to go to stat 1st period? and that's when i realized how terrible this thought process was. and how much of a senior i was. i was trying to decide whether i should go to 1st period at all?? but i decided that i needed to get work and all that so i got to school with 15 minutes left in 1st period. apparently i snuck in like a ninja...said olivia...because mr. fitz didn't notice when i walked in. and then he brought up how calling me a ninja was bringing up stereotypical labels. lol, that kind of made my day better. as nice as it was to wake up an hour later than i normally would, i hate waking up late. it just messes me up. so my stat class...props to you guys...you made my day better. then when 4th period came, it started raining outside. and not just the sprinkle misty rain. it was RAINING. so i ran to my car and lucky me i was wearing a gray shirt so you could see all the rain drops clearly. lit was kind of painful. we played a "game" where an event from the bluest eye was read out and we had to guess what season it happened. well, fortunately, the last book we read, the sound and the fury, labeled its sections by season. so i got all confused about which season came first.

but the best part of my day happened after school. which is weird because it was work. i'm in the process of making a video for asian night so everyone should come!!

since i am the publicist...why not publicize asian night on my blog?? i do what i want.

ASIAN NIGHT

March 12, 2010

6-10 pm (dinner@6 and show@7:30)

It's going to be awesome and you do NOT want to miss this!

so yes, my day was up and down today, but it's ending on a good note. so i'm glad about that =)

i hope the weather's not so gross tomorrow.

i just finished a box of thin mints...why must girl scout cookies be so good??

cool...later!

sunday best

oh, sunday night, how i despise sunday nights. but this afternoon was pretty nice. lydia ann and i went and played soccer at rainbow. well...not really. here's actually how it went down. i went to 2 different gas stations because for some reason, the gas nozzle at the bp didn't work. then i went to a kangaroo place across the street where the attendant had to help me get the thing working. anyway, after filling up my tank, i met ann and lydia at the rainbow soccer fields. both lydia and i brought soccer balls. haha...just our luck though...both of them were flat. mine had a hole somewhere because i pumped it up before i went and when i got there it was flat. so we went to ann's house, pumped up her soccer ball (i feel the need to say soccer ball every time i want to refer to the ball because i know that "pumped up her ball" would enter into some people's minds as having some sort of sexual connotation) and then decided instead to go to rashkis field. so we drive to rashkis and walk to the fields but of course, they're closed to protect the new turf for the winter. and we, being the good, law-abiding asians that we are (but we really just didn't want to get into trouble before college decisions came out), decided not to jump the 5 foot fence and instead went to play on the basketball court/playground. so all in all, we did not end up playing soccer really at all. which is what we had intended to do in the first place. but no matter...it was fun nonetheless. and then we went to this place called lickity split in meadowmont...i was really curious about it because it sold ice cream and...guess what else? hot dogs! yes, so the weirdest combination everr...unfortunately and just our luck again, it's closed on sundays.

advice for the future: DO NOT GO TO LICKITY SPLIT ON SUNDAYS. IT'S CLOSED. but i plan on going there sometime in the future to experience their hot dog/ice cream combo.

so we drove to tcby instead. which was open. and we saw dory there. and she made me a delicious mango tango smoothie. i always hate ordering from ice cream places though. you want to seem civilized and sophisticated and all but how can you when you really want to order the freaking leaking bonanza extreme or the berrylicious blasterberry smoothie. it just...doesn't work. no matter how hard you try and make it sound cool. it will not work.

yesterday, my room was immensely messy.

oh swell...my computer is cool...it just shut down on me randomly. thank you dell...i love you.

anyway, well, it wasn't immensely messy...it wasn't as messy as it's been before, but it was sufficiently messy to distract me from doing anything else. except cleaning.

before:

after:

i love when my room is clean...it's just easier for me to function...is that weird? lol, you have no way of knowing...i could have just moved all of my stuff out of that corner of my room. maybe it's still messy, i just moved all the mess elsewhere. you'll have to trust me on this one.

hope you had a relaxing sunday and have a marvelous monday morning!! (you like the alliteration??)

splendid sushi saturday

i always love the feeling right after i exercise...i feel like i could go run 10 miles...i've got adrenaline pulsing through my veins. of course, haha, yeah right, i will never be able to run 10 miles in my life...but i just feel like i can do anything. however, the motivation that has to go into getting myself to exercise is the problem. i wish i loved exercising, like you know how runner's get a runner's high? i wish i could get an exercise high. i don't actually like exercising unless i'm doing something that's distracting me from the fact that i am indeed exercising...like playing frisbee. though playing frisbee requires so much straight up running that i don't get too distracted by it. but i only like exercising because of the feeling i get afterwards. while yes, i might be tired and sweaty and gross, but i feel so energized for the rest of the day. that's why exercising in the morning is the best. you should try it. it's so nice =)

finally got a memory card adapter for my camera! so i can take more than the 12 pictures my camera alone can store! unfortunately, a few weeks ago, as someone was transferring pictures onto a computer using my memory card, the top half of the adapter got stuck. i got the memory card back okay, but you can't use a memory card without half the adapter! so my picture-taking days will be less limited. hopefully i get more pictures up on here so you all don't have to just read my writing.

soo...this past week...wednesday and thursday, i had so much free time because for some reason (and as you all read in my post from wednesday) i finished all of my homework within an hour of coming home. that turned out to be a fail because the next day i realized how much work i had and stayed up till 230 finishing it all. but, no matter. anyway, the reason i brought that up was because i started watching the bachelor which i didn't think i'd have time to watch. but now, i'm on the second to last episode and i'll be caught up. and on monday, i'm tempted to watch "the women tell all" episode...on TV! (i never watch shows actually on tv. for example, right now i have the last episode of grey's anatomy up so i can watch it online) but my mom is going to be home so i don't know how thrilled she's going to be about me watching tv. my dad's usually pretty chill about letting me do what i want if i've finished my hw. don't get me wrong, i love that my mom is coming home today (oh btw she's coming home from taiwan) but i'll just have to work the system more cautiously when it comes to going out and hanging out with friends.

last night, i went to sushi yoshi with my family minus my mom plus choong (you all should go there, it's never crowded but the food's good...i'm afraid it's going to go out of business and then i'll have to find another japanese place that sell good food that's close by). anyway, i always end up eating too much when we go out to eat but it was good nonetheless. i got salmon teriyaki and then a shrimp tempura roll (delicious!!) and a tuna roll. my sister got spider roll which is soft shelled crab which is also soo good. and choong got a spicy tuna roll.

shrimp tempura roll =)

spider roll...mmmm..

and you can actually eat the whole thing...shell and all

that's why it's called SOFT shelled crab ;)

tuna roll and spicy tuna roll

the top one looks like plastic...

and i left my phone at the place when we left so i had to go get it afterwards. oops.

sooo...it turns out that this was a really bad idea...now i'm craving sushi...

enjoy the amazing weather today!

delayed day delights

delayed opening! these days are always so weird because my day is so broken up that i don't know what to do with myself. well, luckily, i used my time wisely and watched episodes of the bachelor. and right now i've got quite a lot of work to do but i'll just blog real quick and then get on with that. but i like them anyway, feels like i have so much time in the morning

today in gov, we watched episodes of the simpsons and looked for keywords like 'lobbyist' and 'muckraker'. it was really strange...but afterwards, we had like half an hour so i played spades with some people in my class. well, my partner and i lost by a lot...like we were just trying to get out of the negatives towards the end...but it was still fun. i wish everyday was like that in gov.

morning activities:

trader joe's run for some mango mochi!!

i was craving these soo much..good good good!!

i recommend this...a lot

made cookies with jasmine! they were delicious! finally

perfected the art of making chocolate chip cookies...

here they are! i thought this was a cool pic angle

oh no...no more cookie dough =(

i don't really have that much else to say...this is a first. i think i might end up taking a nap accidentally. i'm kind of tired. is that weird? i'm tired on a delayed opening...bad sign. but tomorrow's friday =) i love the weekend.

cool, have a great evening!

today felt very weird. i began my day by accidentally turning off my alarm clock...i guess i just really didn't want to get up since i went to bed at like 230 last night...but i don't want to seem ranty...it actually wasn't too bad. so i woke up at 806 with a jolt. if there's one thing i hate, it would be waking up with a jolt. i get so freaked out when i wake up on a school day and don't know what time it is. time controls us...one day, i even woke up in a panic on a saturday because i thought it was a school day. good and bad. so i checked the phone that's near my bed for the time. haha, clever me, i set it for an hour later than it actually is...so i gain an hour. of course, i remember that every time i check it...so not only do i NOT gain an hour, i also have to do some quick mental math before i'm even at school. so i got up semi-quickly...i had to take a shower because i was too tired to take one the night before.

and now i'm blogging...and it's around 5 and i think i'm finished with all of my hw which is really really crazy. i dont' even know what to do with myself now. there aren't any tv shows that i watch on tuesdays (therefore i would watch them on wednesday online). i did kind of want to see some of the bachelor because it was a pretty big deal. i haven't watched a single episode but i've heard that vienna is quite the...well, i won't say it. but the episodes are so long. like an hour or two. do i have that much time in my life? well, today i do. especially since tomorrow is a delayed opening =) and i have gov, free, yearbook. tough schedule.

the strangest thing happened to me last night. my dad walked into my room and told me that georgia tech was up by 27 in the second half. and i was like...oh that sucks for unc though it's not really that exciting anymore because they keep losing. anyway...so 15 minutes later, i want to check what the final score was. so i go onto espn and look for the score...and i saw 73-71. and i was like...wow gt, great job, you blew a 27 point lead? really? but i was okay because they still won. so i watched the highlight reel to see what happened and apparently graves went on a shooting spree...oh my, not like that though. graves went on a shooting...idk, he just started shooting really well. so i was like, alright cool. and i checked the date and thought it was that day. well, turns out, gt won like 68-51? correct me if i'm wrong. and my world was rocked. so apparently, that article was on last months game between them. yeah...i read january 16, 2010 and thought it was today. guess that's an indication of how slowly i think time is going...when really...it's going very very fast.

last night, my dad also made some pasta with teriyaki sauce and it was really really good. so i tried to make that today during my 4th period and...it just didn't quite taste the same. i think i put too many green onions in it. i hate eating those. i spent the entire time dodging them so i didn't get the chance to appreciate my creation. wish i'd taken a picture of it...

question for everyone: do you take a shower at night or in the morning...or both? and why? i'm a night person personally...i just like to go to sleep clean so that my bed doesn't get all gross. but i've heard people who like to shower in the morning to be clean for the day...which i guess i understand...idk, it's not really for me. then you have to wake up earlier to allow enough time to shower. and then what happens if you wake up late? do you just not shower? now it sounds like i'm bashing people who take morning showers. i'm really not, just curious.

have a good day =)

blog>life?

so...last night, i finished some lit notes for my english class. having finished that humongous assignment that i was very worried about...which turned out to be not as bad as i thought...i decided to make a blog...instead of studying for my gov test which i had today. yeah...not such a great idea.

advice for the future: if you have a choice between making a blog or studying for a test, study for the test. you'll feel much better when people are talking about the questions after the test and you know that you got every single one right...instead of every single one wrong.

i'm hoping that other people read this besides amelia (aka my first follower). or else i'd be rambling on to myself...and to her.

let's see...food of the moment: homemade pasta. just throw in whatever. it'll most likely taste good. one day i want to make my own sauce. right now, i just toss together some veggies and some store-bought sauce. but last time i tried to use tomato paste and all that, it was pretty gross. luckily, i was giving it to someone else so i didn't have to deal with it =)

i think i'm going to go watch the secret life of the american teenager. hahaha, laugh all you want. it's a guilty pleasure. the show is getting increasingly bad and the actors bother me because they're so bad at acting...but, idk, something about teenaged kids talking about sex all the time entices me. ah, another piece of advice...stay away from tv shows. unless you're on some massive break from school and need a time-filler. it really eats away at the time you spend doing hw. but w/e i'm going to go watch now.

sooo my other post...megan has a blog??!!

i never thought i'd get one of these. but with help from amelia (thank you very much =) )it's started. i don't really know what to say. this blog is probably just going to me going on randomly about things. probably that no one but i care about...since it is my life. but no matter. by the way, that's one thing i'm good at, rambling...maybe that's why i'm such a bad writer. stream of consciousness...is that what it's called? i just write what comes to my head. which is usually a bad thing when it comes to writing intelligent things...i'm also good at using ellipses. i use way too many of those...like an unhealthy amount...if i could use them in everyday conversation, i would...but that's not really possible.

hey, what's up? oh cool *ellipses* you going to the concert tonight?

i just don't think it has the same effect as when it's typed.

ehh...that's a live video...i usually don't like those because the sound quality's not too great but you get the gist of it...

you know what i'm going to end up doing at least once? accidentally deleting something that i write...i tend to do that a lot...on facebook especially...oh my, there's an autosave on this...how convenient...nevermind about that then...technology

purpy to the rescue

well i made another blog...yes i actually made another one. within half an hour of making my first one. reason? i was sitting there admiring my other blog

http://theresnowaytheycanputoutyourfire.blogspot.com

whenn...i thought of this perfect url name so naturally i made another blog. promise, everything will go on here from now on. no new blogs. and my new url name has nothing to do with me being a good singer or anything...btw i'm not...at all...though i do like music. but it's written on my purpy. wth is a purpy? it's the blanket i've had since...forever. everyone has something like that. whether it's a stuffed animal...blanket...pillow...it's just...the way of life.
