hello two-thousand-and-nine.

Wow to think it is already 2009. Freaking crazy as hell. This year holds up so many expectations already. It is kind of scary and sad at the same time. But happy. Happy because this is truely going to be a new year full of SCARY NEW THINGS.

This is the year of senior ball, graduations, college admission letters, buying college dorm stuff, new friends, etc. Before it was midnight, I was talking to Michelle and we were awfully scared about the new year. We are not exactly ready to be thrown out in the world. But looking back now, I think we may or may not be ready but I know we can survive. Pachia and I always talk about how it is so crazy how the years have past by but I know we are excited as much as we are scared. I think the world needs to get ready for us, because we are finally coming out.

I am pretty happy because I just finished my LAST APPLICATION. ALL MY COLLEGE APPLICATIONS ARE DONE. It is a miracle. I am glad it is damn over. I've been worrying about my applications all winter break. I hope I get into somewhere. At least I have states for backup haha.

oh yes, happy 1st year anniversary of our blog. I am glad we actually kept up with this thing. It is amazing we did. I know we both do not stay committed to these types of online journal/blogging things long but I think we have tried as best as we could to be committed to this one. Even though we have been writing less and less. We used to have like 20-30 posts for a month. Now we have like five, haha. But I promise I will do more. We are just both busy and lazy. But I promise to write more because I don't want to forget anything. I want to preserve our memories in these pages. I suck at diaries so this is as close to a diary as it can be for me.

new years resolutions

1. write more in our blog, write more interesting things, more intellecutual things
2. do not get senioritis. you are almost there but you will not get that virus
3. get a license (i am sad i know, almost eighteen too)
4. make good memories with everyone, even those you are not close to because it could be the last
5. get another job (that one will be hard)
6. even though you are reluctant, grow up. cant be like peter pan forever
7. learn how to be more adult
8. accept life as it is, never be bitter
9. don't forget your optimism.

---edit---

I saw my other blog friends doing this so I will do this too. I need to see if I accomplished any of my resolutions last year.

CK's RESOLUTIONS:

1. Stop taking naps (it ruins your sleeping pattern!)
   
2. Figure out what colleges you might want to apply to
3. Drink milk
4. Stop slouching (could cause later back problems and stunt your growth even more)
5. Stop having freak-outs about school.(optional)

So I don't really drink as much milk. But I do drink some. I probably still slouch. And of course I cannot stop having freak-outs. But I think less dramatically as last year. And I have stopped taking a lot of naps during the school year because I was working and man I would be in trouble if I did not figure out what colleges I would be applying to. Good Job CK for 2008.

* happy anniversaryyyy

it's crazy how it's already been an entire year since we started this blog! and its sad that christina and i couldn't spend new years together like we did last year. but last night i spent some time going through all of our posts throughout the year, and we've definitely grown and changed. i'm soooo glad we made this blog, because it's going to be really fun going through all of our old posts when we're old and in college and no longer teenagers anymore.

i didnt really do anything for new years. my family went to sleep early, and i stayed up doing my common app for stanford and finishing a 2008 bulletin quiz on myspace. yippeeeee... and then i went to sleep rejected as my drunk bf hung up on me twice :| but it's okay.

i did spend christmas in fresno with the family though, and that was nice. i love kidddddies, especially my little cousins who are so adorable.











hopefully 2009 will be just as fun as 2008. my resolutions are simple this year: get into college, keep my grades up, find a job!!!!

Happy New Years!!! :)


(i made little doll-dolls for my brother and sister)

PACHIA!

the sisterhood.

Reading Pachia's last entry made me think about my own two younger sisters. I guess over the last couple months my sister, Bella and I have been getting pretty close. Even though we have a five year difference, we still bond pretty well. I guess the bond grew because of our new hobby, thrifting and obsessing over Gossip Girls. We watch that show religiously every Wednesday night on the CW. When I do have money and can drive, I will want to treat both my sisters out. I like spending time with my sisters outside of the home (though the youngest one is still a bit a handle to care for). I was going on my sister's myspace (only 11 and she has one.. jebus, kids grow up too fast these days) to steal one of her pictures of us and I found this:

"i love shopping. especially with christina. she has great taste. we like to dress vintage, electric. and very asian fob. LOL."

I should be nicer to my sister and set an example. I really did not notice that she really does look up to me. Maybe I am cool... cool enough to be someone's hero. I think my sister is much cooler than I was back in sixth grade. I hope she learns the right things from me and makes the right choices. I know that sixth grade wasn't exactly fun when I went through it so I hope she manages well. I want to protect her as much as I can from the bad things in this world. Even though that is not possible, I hope she will be able to develop a thick skin like I did. Sometimes I feel jealous of my sister though. She is the tall and soon to be the pretty one. Sometimes I just like to give her bad comments to lower her self esteem to make myself feel better. I guess I should stop that. I mean it is a bit childish. Even if I am the one to inherit the short genes and the thick legs. Oh well. I still am the unni.

Anyway, my sister is turning 12 soon so I have to get her a present. She really wants a muffler so I was thinking of buying one for her online. They have so nice ones but they are so expensive. I really would not pay over $12 dollars for a muffler. Maybe I will just buy her a really cute shirt or sweater.
Good thing she is so tall and that we share clothes because anything she has, I borrow and vice versa. That is the good thing for having sisters. I think my sister is lucky to have me to show her how to dress right. I never dressed as cool as she did when I was younger. That is the sucky thing for being the oldest. No one shows you what to do, you have to figure it out yourself. Then the rest of the siblings just follow right along. Good thing I am as cool as I am (did you know being conceited runs in my family? :])

wanted to add to my resolutions:
6. stop being scared about the future (how whimsical is that..)
7. help out your siblings with their homework
8. dont get too addicted to the internet (again.)

I really haven't done any of my homework over break. I am pretty scared about the procrastination building up. I am really scared that my parents have given up on me. Ever time they bring up college I cringe. I am so unsure about my future. It kind of eats at me inside. I don't dwell on it lately but the thought of taking SATS soon, it is making me. I feel like I should be sure and I should have a plan. But I really do not know what the future can hold. I want to make the right choices and make money of course but I want to learn. Really learn.
