ive been thinking about you lately

I had a great weekend. I think it is going to be one of the very last for a couple weeks because I need to stop avoiding the big things in my life like my SENIOR PROJECT and cramming for aps. I don't really care for aps as much but SENIOR PROJECT!!?!?!? I need that to graduate :(. Well this weekend I went out with Maggie and Michelle (my M&M's) and we went to old sac/downtown on Saturday. First we went to a sac soompi meet and that was very interesting. But we had a great time in old Sacramento. We just took a lot of pictures because we loved the old buildings and it was a nice day (despite it WAS FREEZING and I was wearing thin clothing). Too bad we got ripped off because we ordered hot dogs and the guy gave us polish sausage instead which was 2 dollars more. WTF!!! Oh well. We also went to 2nd Saturday. I like the free stuff. We got free Chipotle from a boutique which I just found out was actually Pachia's aunt's new boutique. Small world.

I love the mural by the downtown mall.

Michelle looks like a witch.

We are on a train. Looks like a ship huh.

We found this cool area where it was a bunch of crumbing pillars.

On Sunday, I volunteered for the Shamrock Marathon (also called Running for Rhett) with my Key Club. Our job was to direct traffic away from the runners and to show the runners where to go. Me and Kim had the harder job of directing cars. Some people are so impatient but obviously I was trying to make sure no one was getting run over! But after awhile Licia, my brother and Nemo came to where me and Kim were and we started cheering for the runners. In our area, it was like a two way street, runners would pass by and then the trail would leave them around and back past us to up the hill. So halfway through the race my brother made up a chant,

KEEP GOING,
DONT STOP!
WHOOT WHOOT (clap clap)

So we were yelling probably for two and half hours maybe even three hours straight to cheer for everyone. We could not stop because if we stopped, it seemed like we didn't like them so everytime people pass we would have to chant it. A lot of people really liked us and said thank you and said we were the best cheerleaders on the block. We tried to wait until the verrrrryyyy last stragglers. It was very fun. But my voice was out afterwards.

Well in the beginning, we were at Raley Field then we got the maps from the directors and pretty much we had to walk to our spot which was very confusing but thank goodness downtown streets are based on numbers and the alphabet. So it was like a ten minute walk. But on the way, Kim and I found the coolest thing ever:


They had a couple of these in the neighborhood. And we were sitting on a rock. I think it is so cute. Why don't they have encouraging signs here in our suburbia? Always dream big.

News on college acceptances. I am very lucky and glad for all my acceptances so far. I am just happy to know that it doesnt take a perfect person to make it into a UC and that essays do count! I really think my personal statements pulled me through in a couple of my schools. So far it has been UC Davis, UC San Diego and UC Santa Cruz. UC LA comes out on Wednesday. But I am satisfied with what I have now.

I like this new David Choi song.

And to make you laugh.

happy birthday mlk!

i have found my prom dress. however, unforutnate as it may be, i know i cannot have it! my mom refuses to buy it for me, because it's way overpriced and she doesn't like it : i can't argue with her though. it only started out as $10 on ebay, and freaking escalated to over $100 because of the same stupid bidder! ahhh. oh well, oh well, i will find another dress. besides, it will be much more fun going dress shopping in person with friends, instead of just buying a dress online. and i wouldn't have even gotten the chance to try it on either. well, here's a picture in honor of the memory of my could-be-prom-dress:

so my phone is worthless. it's died. not really though. the screen is just dead, and its kinda cracked open, so i can't really hear it ring or hear the person on the other line when i pick up the phone call. it's just lame, and i'm not sure when i'm going to get a new phone or if i'm going to get a new phone, but i don't think i'd mind what it is at all as long as i have a phone that works. wow. maybe phones just arent my thing. they always die on me and i'm always killing them! i'm such a murderer. but aside from that, i've realized that i really hate it when i call someone and they don't pick up. it's actually become a fear of mines. i always freak out if they don't pick up. things flash through my head like "they hate me now!" "oh my god, something's wrong!" "they must be mad or annoyed at me..." it's kinda ridiculous and crazy. but what can i say? it's just another one of my silly little nuisances. (if i even spelled that word right.) atleast i've realized i'm crazy... and i'm not in denial. then i'd really be crazy. but i know why i have that fear. i analyze myself a lot in the free time i have right before bed.

sometimes i read christina's posts on here, and wonder where she finds such interesting things to show off. all i do is post about my day. and since nothing ever happens, i usually just dont post! haah. but yeah, i have a lot of laundry to do. not to wash, but to fold. i get really lazy and just leave all of my washed laundry in the corner in my room, and never get to them. then i rummage through them like a maniac in the morning, looking for something to wear, and just leave an even bigger mess all over the floor. no matter, i still want to go shopping. everyone says their tired of shopping because over the winter break that's all they did! but i didnt even get to go shopping once over the winter break! and i need coats. however, my momma says we should be spending our money wisely, especially since our country is in a recession right now... so i'll just suck it up and wear that coat with the fur hoodie i've been wearing since last year, for this winter as well. besides, next year i'll be working and have money, so i'll just buy myself my own coat! how satisfying will that feeling be? i'm not so sure... because i've never actually bought myself a coat with my own hard-earned money before.

i've been listening to david choi. i don't know how special he may sound, but i really like him. i think him and his songs are cute!

here's a cover for my song of '07!

my favorite from him, so far!

the other day i read this article, and it made me really sad.

Still Hiding in Laos
