Chasing the Dream...

Some Maroon 5 Footage :)

2009-11-12T20:13:24Z

Yeahh, pain in the ass trying to upload this, I never liked uploading onto YouTube for some reason... Anyway, awwwesome concert, awwsome night. Here they are :) And pleaasee excuse the HORRIBLENESS that is my voice XD I think my voice seriously died by this point and yeah.. it's just not pretty and I'm realizing it ruins the whole video, but yeah.. XD

They surprised us by singing some cover songs :) One of them was Alicia Key's "If I Ain't Got You" "

Some song I didn't know = ]

And I have some footage of them singing "Sunday Morning" but looking back on it, it's MEGA shaky and yeah, just makes my head hurt watching it, so yeah, I'm going to skip that XD

And I do have ONE still image but, that's basically crap too, so lol. At least this is something right? ahahhaa

OMFG, MAROON 5 CONCERT

2009-11-11T04:20:00Z

HOLY SHITTT, IT WAS THAT AMAZING :) I mean, I wasn't that into the opening act, but they were also quite good and the type of music I'm into. It took FOREVER (at least for me) for the people to remove the opening act's stage set up and do final preps for Maroon 5's but, omfgg, sooo fucking worth itttt!!! I was seriously fucking flailing with each song I recognized from them :) I'm ashamed to say I only knew songs from the "It Won't Be Soon Before Long" and "Songs About Jane" albums, but omfgggg... XD Soo fuckking aweesome :)

And what's funny was I was just trying to get through the door, showed them my ticket and school ID. The damn guards at the door were checking our bags and just told us no cameras and leave our umbrellas in the front (it was freakin pouring out there). When the guard lady asked if I had a camera in my bag, I told them I did (stupidly) and she was like "You have to take it back." So I was like O.O fuckkkk thiissss. There was nooo fucking way I was going to walk all the way back to my room so I just walked some feet away from the main entrance and shoved my camera in a random jacket pocket then walked back through the doors :) Problem solved :)

So as an awesome result, I got to have some nice footage on my camera :) Not much, but something is better than nothing :)

And I would sooo put the footage on here if I could figure out how.. Ahahaha, the point is, it was a great concert, I had fun, what an awesome way to end a Tuesday.

And for tomorrow, GLEE IS COMING BACK!!! :)

<3

Life Update XD

2009-10-28T19:05:48Z

Omfg, I'm ashamed of myself for not updating this since like 4 weeks ago. Nothing insanely exciting happening really with school and uni work. Nude model drawings have been on the down side for a while. The last model we had was like.. hum... like 2 weeks ago? Yeah, working with charcoal, which was really messy and wouldn't get out of my fingernails for like a while XD

So last week, I found out that MAROON 5 IS COMING TO MY UNI. I'm not joking. I was like, OMFG. I HAVE TO SEE THEM! So I basically slyly told my mom i wanted to buy tickets and then my mom told me to ask my brother to buy them for me as like a sort of birthday present. Cuz the concert is November 10, so I was like, FUCKING SHITTT, YESSSS!!!! It'll be and awesome November to say the least. I mean, this is embarassing, but I've never been to a legit concert before. I mean, a concert with a singer/band playing. I've been to musicals and like plays and shiz like that, but legit concerts? Nooo. Which is why seeing Maroon 5 live would be an awwesome first concert to go to :) The only stupid thing I did was not get 2 tickets XD So even if I do persuade a friend to go, we won't really be sitting together, which sucks so bad. But y'know what, I'm not going to let that get me down :)

So Maroon 5 concert + New Moon coming out + my birthday + Thanksgiving break away from uni = a GREAT November! :)

The last few weeks, I've developed this HUGE obsession for Glee that it's not even funny anymore XD Every Wednesday, I've been meeting up with a friend I made some weeks ago during this retreat and we've been basically having a Glee night just watching Glee when it airs, and just hanging out. I recently found out last week that this Vietnamese guy I met during that Filipino American Association meeting also likes to watch it, so i'm trying to round him up to hang out with me and my friend to watch it too.

ANNOYING THIS IS, there IS NO Glee airing tonight!! WHY?? Cuz of some STUPID BASEBALL GAME COVERAGE happening during the time Glee is supposed to air!!! LIKE WHAT THE HELL FOX?!?!?!

And now later today, I have to attend this mandatory meeting about Portfolio Reviews which will happen at the end of the semester XD I'm sort of nervous about that...

And here's a random picture of my new obsession Glee :)

Artwork Plug, lol

2009-09-28T02:47:52Z

Yeah.. just saying I posted another new thing on my Deviant Art. Stupid thing is due Tues... and I had to send it off to print by 9am Monday XD Which I already did, mhmm.. Spent all afternoon on it. Even though I should have spent the whole weekend on it.. Ah well.. not my main priority right now. Hum.. And just for a bit of vain-ness I needed SOME recent pic of me since I seem to never update my fb profile pic until someone bugs me to do it. XD So here is a pic of me from earlier today :)

*goes off to draw some other thing due Tuesday*

peace and love <3

ART HOMEWORK LOAD

2009-09-23T02:30:49Z

WHAT IS THIS... WHY CAN'T I PROCRASTINATE??? I HAVE A TON OF WORK TO DO THIS WEEK!! *cries*

DRAWING, DRAWING, MORE DRAWING, ILLUSTRATOR

fml, like really... T__T

I'm tired.. I want to sleep.. but ughh... Sorry, just slightly complaining right now...

Oh, and on another note.. today was our first male nude model. Fuck.. just Fuck... >__< How did i survive?? HOW?? T___T

Life Drawing >__

2009-09-16T03:46:09Z

OMFG, I just had drawing class right. Yeah, for the next some weeks of our lives, practically the whole semester.. we will be drawing models in class. Now, I sort of had the inkling of the thought it might be nude models cuz y'know.. you see that kind of stuff all the time in drawing classes. But I didn't think it would actually be NOW. I had thought they wouldn't spring this on us until like at least the 2nd semester and like prepare us. But nooooooo.... XD Lo and behold, today, from 7-9:45 pm, I was drawing a nude female model. Now, I would have tried to NOT freak out if it was male... but thankfully it will be next week.. but omfg... XD

So for 2 hours and 45 minutes, I was drawing furiously many pages of this model... lol. And while I was quite surprised I would be doing this NOW of all days.... I was mature about it, ahahaha. Everyone was practically dying when we had to do many many drills basically varying from 60 seconds to 5 minutes and like one 15 min one. But wow... we just died when our professor made us draw with our opposite hands for 60 seconds each WITHOUT looking at the paper. It was terrible... but very very entertaining and it loosened up any nerves I guess.

But wow... quite an experience... now imagine we'll be DRAWING MALE NUDE MODELS NEXT WEEK?!?!?!?!

XD

College Life

2009-09-14T23:48:59Z

Oh wow.. What can I say about college?? XD My posts are always late about my life, but yeah, here I am now, no? lol. Anyway, I had... an eventful first week of uni 3 weeks ago. I had an insane time trying to adjust fully to American food XD I mean, don't get me wrong, I like American food, or basically anything that doesn't have anything to do with rice all the time. But having practically grown up on my mom's cooking of Filipino food and WHOLLY enjoying it and being satisfied with it can totally throw off one's stomach for a week XD So yeah, let's just say I had some issues on that the first week but afterwards, it got better and I'm finally adjusting to not eating rice practically everyday of my life. I'm sort of thinking it has to do with shoving down lots more carbohydrates than others. I mean, rice is carbs and stuff, and i ate it everyday and all.. and yeah.. lol. I don't know where I'm going with this. Ok, i'm going to stop talking about that.

The first week was also a time to meet new people and get a feel for all my classes and to learn how my art classes are going to be. I love all my art classes. I'm actually LEARNING, unlike my art class last year. Psh, I don't think I'm ever going to get over how crap my art class last year was. It wasn't the people, it was the TEACHER. Ughhh..

Being my shy self, I was mostly keeping to myself, but I did manage to find a few people I could tolerate. Everyone really is generally nice, and I like that about being here on campus. I have yet to actually "find" a group of people I could hang out with often, so yeah. Until then..? lol. I did manage to find an old elementary/middle school friend from way back when, ahahaha. So we have a few lunch and dinners together now. Which is nice : ) I'm also keen on making guy friends, ahahaha. : P Asian guy friends if you know what I mean, lawl <3

Humm.. I think I'll just add some pics :)

(My really messy desk which my printer and mac take up most of the usable space. It's the whole reason why I use this pull out thing underneath that's supposedly for keyboards or something but yeah, I use that as a 'desk'. You can see like the picture frame from Lorraine and Kiki's card from waaay back)

(Just cuz this bear I've named Iorek is from Evie <3 )

(My messy bed which is never made cuz I don't like making my own bed. Some art project just laying there. And I was really protesting these pink sheets.. XD Oh wells... )

(Overlooking a really spacious area on campus called the Drill Field)

(Another view looking at the Drill Field TODAY)

(While walking back to my dorm building, I thought this was a nice picture to take : )

(Me like 2 weeks ago playing around with my Mac camera :)

Ok, It was actually trying to see if I could do an art project with that camera, cuz I needed to take a picture of myself for a self portrait. Mhmmm... Basically, I'm still trying to find my way through college, but all in all, I love the huge campus, there are always places to walk around to, and you can basically have some quiet alone time somewhere in the depths of the campus somewhere if you're looking for it. I found myself in the library I few times : ) I mean, it IS the library. Home to some really old books. I actually found some book that was titled, "Fuck, Yes!" LoL. But there is another library separated from the main library that only houses books/magazines/periodicles whatnot about art <3 And it's located in the art and architecture building, so yeaaaahhh. I love going there :) Even though i don't go there as often as I'd like, only because it's a little farther away on campus from where I usually spend my time.

So yeaaah, that's my uni life so far. Art Foundation classes have been fun, the people have been.. to say the least, interesting, rooming with a roomate is alright. No fighting or drama, so yeah. I seriously need to find someone who likes anime.. XD Ahahaa. Yeah, hope you guys are doing good : )

This is random, but this week is basically the season premieres of all these random shows.. ahahaha. I'm actually looking foward to the next episode of Glee. Lmao, Evie, I think you got me into it : P I need to look up what day it comes on. Or at least when to expect to see it online :)

Miss you guys! <3

HAPPY BIRTHDAY KIKI <3

2009-08-16T22:45:14Z

esssnesnon , HAPPY 18TH BIRTHDAY!!! Wow... A whole year has gone by without seeing you and hanging with all of you guys back in Geneva. Ahhhh, I miss it all, I really do. I just read pottermanic 's birthday tribut to you, so I'm like, AHH, I MUST DO THIS TOO!!! Sadly I don't have a way to put a pic of us here since i'm back in the states and i'm using my bro's computer and I have nooo idea where the eff the USB thing is so yeah.. sorry, you'll have to deal with just this text.

Wow.. where to start... Kiki, I love you and you know that :) It's really sad how we're like on opposite sides of the world, but we still manage to keep in touch with LJ and stuff. My years in Geneva were the best years of my life and there is nothing in the world that will change that. I totally believe that it were the best years because I met all of you :) Having practically all of our classes together in year 12 was no accident and we had maaaany awesome moments.

For example:
~The Kid
~Our slash-ified stories
~Roaring Club

I know one day we are all going to meet up again, and when that does, there is DEFINITELY going to be another Roaring Club meeting. A VERY long one :)

Ohh.. I found the USB thing.. :)

ok.. this is sorta a bad pic of me.. but yeahh :)

I MISS YOU SOOOO MUCHHH!!!

I hope you've had a great birthday :) Go get drunk :D

<3

Memories

2009-08-03T05:33:52Z

Like what my last post was saying, I don't have long until my flight back to the States and I get a start on college life. I don't know, maybe right now, I'm just feeling nostalgic for all my years of high school. >__< I think it's the random songs I'm playing that's triggering all the memories. I mean, yeah, I'm ready for college. I am. I am DYING to start already. Get my hands on all my art classes and stuff. Wanna meet new people and everything. I guess I just can't help but think and remember high school and all the fun there was :)

Mmmm... I'm sleepy...

Anyways, hopefully, I'll be able to keep the friendships I've made throughout the years. Ahaha.. deep thinking I know. Memory-triggering songs do that to you.

Misc. R A N T S

- I want a fucking new laptop already. I'm sick of my laptop now. It's annoying me.
- I need photoshop. UGH, I can't do ANY quality editing without it...
- I think I need to fix my sleeping habit.. ahahaa. Last night I slept at like 3am...
- I WANT TO PACK MORE THINGS. I HATE WAITING.

XD

Excitement in the air...

2009-07-31T02:53:22Z

I have officially, as of 2 days ago, started preparing stuff for college. AMAZING, AMAZING, AMAZING. Is all I'm going to say. Lawl. Even though it's only sorting through a small portion of my clothes so far to decide what to bring, it's still something. My flight back to the states is Aug 15, so I still have a few more moments to breathe in the summer laziness.

My hopes for going through some books to read for the summer are rapidly becoming impossible since i'm always getting distracted on the comptuer XD phail, I know. Lol. I'm still going to at least finish Time Traveler's Wife at all costs. :)

So some updates on me, I finally know who my roomate in college is. She seems cool, so hopefully we'll get along fine. :) I haven't done much this summer as my friends here in HK seem to NOT be in HK at the very crucial moments I get bored. So yeah, it's quite frustrating when I just want to get out of the fucking house sometimes but knowing I won't have good company to share it with. Gotta hate the house arrest feeling, lol. BEING STUCK AT HOME IS NOT ME. But what I did accomplish was getting into some TV shows. Since finishing the first season of Dollhouse, I'm seriously deciding on finishing what I started for True Blood. And for some reason, I want to get into Terminator: The Sarah Conner Chronicles. Call me a lil sci-fi nerd XD I mean, hell, I was into Buffy, Angel and Roswell when I was younger. It sorta sticks after watching most seasons of those shows :)

Also since I graduated, I've gotten some new CD's <3

Panic at the Disco - Pretty. Odd.
Jason Mraz - We Sing. We Dance. We Steal Things.
Kate Voegele - A Fine Mess

After borrowing Kiki's Panic CD practically all summer 2 summers ago, I've gotten to love Panic's sound. Brendon Urie's voice = love. Hahahahaa. As for Jason Mraz and Kate, they are the awesomest people ever. :)

Speaking of Kiki, OMFG, esssnesnon, WELCOME BACK TO LJ!!! WE MISSED YOUU!!! Seriously, you were gone too long in that camp of yours. :D Bring on the entries and comments!!!

<3

~Birthday Spam~

2009-07-22T02:25:37Z

I lil shout out to my awwwsome friend Evie, otherwise known as pottermanic!

HAPPY 18 BIRTHDAY!!!!!

CAN YOU BELIEVE YOU'RE 18 NOW?!?! :)

<3

Half-Blood Prince Comments (spoiler alert - if anyone actually reading this cares)

2009-07-17T16:37:27Z

Just a really quick jot of thoughts before I go to bed and process it all through sleeping. But now that I've gotten to think about it... I can't help but be utterly amazed by this film. It's awwwwwwwwsome-ness I can't begin to describe...

likes:

The imagery, omfg, it couldn't have been more fantastic. The opening sequence with the death eaters rampaging all over london. lol.

I don't know if i like this point or not, but i found the this film about 50/50 with the romantic comedy bits and the darker bits. like, for every funny/slightly romantic scene, it proceeds with a darker scene. and it's like, we all know what book 6 was all about, and i'm fairly sure the romantic bits weren't THAT emphasized. but i liked most of those moments anyway. i'll carry on with stuff i thought was cringe worthy in a minute.

Another thing i liked was bellatrix. i don't know why, but seriously, helen bonham carter is amaaaaaaazing as bellatrix. crazy psychotic bitch does helen well in this film. i think this is Evie's thinking rubbing off on me. hahaha. she likes helen so yeah. lawl.

draco being the torn self that he is

draco having more screen time

draco finally showing his acting skills.. tho.. i think it could be better..

ron/hermione moments <3

THE MUSIC! <3

The inferi themselves were sooooo freakishly creepy and dark, and oh so creepy, that it was well done. Didn't picture them exactly like that in my head... but close enough :)

dislikes:

THE HARRY/GINNY SCENES!! THEY WERE ALL WEIRD, AND AWKWARD AND TOTALLY RANDOMALLY PUT IN THERE THAT IT HAS NO LOGICAL FLOW THROUGHOUT THE MOVIES

I WAS SO ENTIRELY SHOCKED BONNIE WRIGHT GOT MORE LINES IN THE FILM, THAT I WAS SHOCKED WHEN SHE SPOKE DURING THE SCENES SHE WAS SPEAKING IN THE BEGINNING WHEN SHE WAS SURPRISED WITH HARRY'S LUGGAGES BEING IN THE LIVING ROOM.

ron being an idiot for not seeing hermione's feelings

ron being an idiot and not remmebering muttering hermione's name

hermione being an idiot and not just getting with ron

just them being idiots that they are for not realizing their feelings yet, lol.

I swear i saw a random make out couple in some corridor scene, that it looked so randomly put in...

RANDOM OTHER THOUGHTS:

Voldemort's present self didn't have ANY screen time in this film, lmao. it was all his past selves.

I WISH it was the actor who did tom riddle in the 2nd movie!! ahhhhhh!! but i guess he would probably look too old?? *cries* i liked him thooo, he was much much muuuuch hawter.

Actor who plays Cormac reminds me of ryan philippe or something.. lawl.

And i always imagined Slughorn more sure of himself and.. uhh.. i don't know. just not exactly what i pictured to be Slughorn.

-------------------------

More in depth thoughts in the way, I'm sure... just these initial thoughts first :)

HARRY POTTER WEEK!

2009-07-14T03:10:28Z

Can you believe it people?? HBP is coming out THIS WEEK!!! AHHHH.. the anticipation is KILLING me. Saw this interview on YouTube just now:

Ahhh, how much I LOVE the actors!! This interview reminded me how much of a fan I am of the books and movies. THANK YOU JK ROWLING! <3

Then after that interview I saw in the related vids a really old interview with Rupert and Emma:

Can anyone say how much the've really grown???

= ]

On other notes, I finished watching the first season of Dollhouse yesterday. Gawwwd, I got so into it. All 12 episodes in 2 days. I really would have finished it all in one day, but ahh wells. I've been on a TV show watching rampage lately. And totally ignoring my summer reading list, lmao. So what have I watched so far?

- Accidental Couple (Korean drama I got into somehow, that I only watched the last 5 episodes)
- 1 Litre of Tears (Japanese drama show, which is soooo effin depressing that I cried many times)
- Dollhouse (whole season)

and random movies <3

Can't remember it all now.. but yeshhh = ]

Summer (Bored-ness) and College

2009-07-07T15:18:27Z

Hey!!! It's been a while, hasn't it? Well, I graduated, mhm... and those pics are on Facebook.. as usual... and yeah. I found out 2 out of my 3 AP Exam grades. Wooot.

Art = ?
English = 3
Psych = 4

They're all out of 5, so it's all passing. I was pretty effin' annoyed at the english one... but oh well. stupid piece of shit.. ughh.. Oh well. Psych was surprising.. really. Hahaha. I totally half assed my way through the class, come out with a B average I think it was, and I get a 4 on the exam?? Just surprising that's all. Hahahaha.

I only got to find out about these scores cuz they put it in my online college thingie. Like, since I chose Va Tech to go to for college, I get to keep track of stuff through a site they provide. Mhm.. so in the grades and transcripts section they put AP grades I sent them, and voila, my AP exam grades are on there. :)

Don't really know why they didn't count my AP Art grade.. =( I guess it's cuz they want all freshman to take foundation art classes as the first thing no matter if I took AP or not.. -shrug-

And while I was browsing through, checking everything for the nth time since I'm THAT excited for college, that any information is awesome, I found out my schedule for the fall semester. ZOMG.

Art 1204 - Principles of Art & Design I - Tue, Thurs - (3:30pm-6:15pm)
Art 1404 - Drawing I - Tue, Thurs - (7:00pm-9:45pm)
Art 1604 - Principles of New Media - Mon, Wed - (9:20am-12:05pm)

yeshhhh... Drawing I is like a totally messed up time.. I mean.. 7pm to 9:45?? Are you serious??? rawwwwwwwrk. -sighs- oh wells. lol. still excited anyway. And I think i'll have to do a Life Drawing class sometime this year... not sure.. Lol. Hopefully I won't mess up during that class. I'm mature right? riiight.. = ]

Apparently since I passed my AP English class, I don't have to have Freshman English my first year of college. Hahaha. At least I think this is why I don't have English my first semester. Meh.

As for living in college, I don't find out room assignments till the end of the month.. so i'm a bit anxious about that. >__< I have a hunch on what dorm building it is.. but not a specific room and roomate. The wait to find out is just ughh..

Other than this random excitement for college stuff, I'm not doing much this Summer. Been having relatives stay here with us in HK for like 2 weeks. Left this morning for the Philippines. Mhmm.. They're even coming back again in Aug cuz they are apparently doing some Asia tour. HK > Philippines > Thailand > back to HK then back to States. Mhmmm...

And of course, since it's summer, I'm reading :) Right now it's The Time Traveler's Wife and the list is sorta growing...

-Time Traveler's Wife by Audrey Niffenegger
-The Glass of Time by Michael Cox
-The Devil Wears Prada

And I've totally been strongly suggested to read a few others by my friends, lmao. So yeahh.. They are expecting me to read them so I must obey, lawl.

Anywhoos, yeah.. that's my life right now :)

<3

EXAMS OVER!!!

2009-05-13T15:14:45Z

Wootness. My exams are over! There is actually this looong funny ass story about what happened to my Psych exam, but I'll leave that for tomorrow. Let's just say, on the day we were supposed to take the exam:

they ran out of bubble paper, y'know the bubble paper we fill in for multiple choice questions
invigilator guy at a loss at what to do
the rest of us took out our books for last minute revising
invigilator went out of the room to try and find more bubble paper
he actually left us alone in the classroom
even the principal was sort of at a loss
while both principal and invigilator guy was out of the the FIRE ALARM WENT OFF, wtf
everyone was like, "should we get out?"
cuz we were told to not get out of the classroom no matter what
by the time we were told we could get out we were then told we didn't have to take the exam that day
all cuz there wasn't enough bubble paper
it was said that we would be taking the exam on the 22nd

After that whole thing, we had to go to the rest of our classes that day as if we didn't have the exam. How annoying. After school we found out that it was all okay by Collegeboard and we HAD to take the exam the next morning (this morning). They could have let us take the exam right after school, but then they would be totally fucking with our minds if they did that. I mean, c'mon, would you want to take the test after rejoicing of not having to take it until 10 days later? On top of the fact that some idiot pulled the fire alarm and caused a sudden fire drill?? Yes, taking a test after having gone through a day like that is not good for our mental health.

But it was all insanely hilarious to us so it's all good.

BTW, I updated my DeviantArt so you guys check it out for the work I put up in my exhibition. I think one is missing from what is shown in the pics with the panels... but I didn't like that one much so I didn't upload that image. LoL.

And wth, I said I'd tell you about my psych exam tomorrow, but oh well.

So I took the exam this morning and it was pretty much okay. The essay portion I missed a few points since I couldn't remember some things, but ahh welll. I tried, okay?? I like psych, but it's not my forte. As for the multiple choice section, I just hope I didn't choose a lot of wrong answers since they deduct points for wrong answers. XD

That's all for now. Peace = ]

AP Psychology exam in 4 hours...

2009-05-12T00:02:51Z

omg omg.. sooo close.. omg.. my last exam.. XD can't wait till it's over... I really hope I don't screw up that badly. Omg, my essays will be CRAP. I really hope my multiple choice section is good.. XD If not.. oh Gawd... XD I think i'll edit this post after the test...

Last Few Days..

2009-05-09T12:28:55Z

Heyz = ] So Thursday night was our AP Art exhibition. Yep. I don't know if whoever else was taking pictures that night put them up on Facebook yet, so yeah, I'm still waiting for that. It was sorta disappointing that the exhibition itself wasn't graded. The panels we used, we couldn't personalize it to our own theme so it was all dull plain black panels for each of us. It was bugging the hell out of me, but oh well. The lights were off in the cafeteria (where the exhibition was, which also irked me a bit. See how poor/unclassy my school is??) and each panel had its own lighting so there was a bit of ambience to it all which was the only good thing about it I guess. The school band had some performances towards the end of the night which were good too. I really don't know how to feel about the band since I've heard really good ones in my old schools in the States XD

Another thing about the night was that the whole thing was three hours long, we students whose work was displayed couldn't leave, so by the time 1 hour passed, we were all bored and hungry. Some people had cameras so we just took random pictures the rest of the time. I swear I took some crazy pics with the rest of them but those are with another person's camera.

OMFG, I just remembered my classmates pulled a stupid joke on me, lmao. So a friend/classmate of mine was like to me "hey, I have this IQ test. Look, I just put my arms out like this *she puts her forearms straight* and you have to put your arms like this too and you have to pass your arms back and forth between mine with your eyes closed. If you can get to like over 20 times you're said to have a high IQ. I couldn't get it, I only got up to like 18, look just try it."

Can you imagine what I did? I actually did that. I kept my eyes closed and i did what she told me to do. I was like at around 30 doing that shit, and then i suddenly heard other people asking "what is she doing??" Then I opened my eyes and I realized I was tricked into doing that crap. I was like, "OMFG, EFF YOU GUYS!!!!" lmaooo.. gawwwd, I haven't been tricked in a WHILE. Jezuz... That's one embarassing thing that happened to me this week, lol Oh and this joke was pulled on some other people too during the exhibition. Thank God the lights were dimmed... XD

Here are some pics of my panels. They're not that great XD

See what I mean? It would look waaay better if we could do whatever we wanted with the panels themselves. We only had after school Thursday to set up and then the actual exhibtion started at 6pm so yeah. Since my skills aren't in fine arts, a lot of my stuff is from using Photoshop. Mhm..

Ohh, last night, I had a really really weird dream. Like really. It freaked me out. I don't know if this is Freud working, and trying to tell me something, but seriously, when I finally remembered wtf I dreamt about, I was surprised. So I think the dream was split into two kinds of dimensions. During one dimension, I was a wolf. Awesome, I know. LoL. I think it was influenced by clips of an anime I was looking at on Youtube last night. The anime is Wolf's Rain. LoL. Go figure. But that's besides the point. There were other wolves with me, I think they were either my family or friends. I'm not sure anymore. We were all running during the night near a highway in someplace. I really don't know what place it was, I just know it was some nameless highway. The other dimension of the dream is like a "What if" kind of dream. Apparently the what if was: "What if I get to know my 'ex-boyfriend' again when I go to college?" I have this thinking that he also chose to go to Va Tech. I don't know. I just really have this feeling he would be there, since his older sister also got in there. Anyway, this section of the dream was me talking to him online. This conversation seemed to be happening after we both realized we are going to the same school. The first part of the conversation started off really hostile toward eachother. We didn't really part on nice terms. I didn't even talk to him in the end. XD Yeah, so we were talking and then we started to argue. Back and forth spouting accusations about our differing personalities or whatever made him 'break up' with me. Then I don't KNOW wtf happened, but the arguing slowly died down and then we started what if-ing our lives. Like, what if we became friends again. What if we started talking again. And the killer: What if we got together again. WTF. Just WTF.

I think I was fixing myself some cereal this morning, pouring the cereal or the milk, I forgot which, and then suddenly it hit me what I was dreaming about. It just made me PFFFT in disbelief that I would dream about that idiot. Ughhh.. Seriously, wtf, wtf. Freud, WTF are you DOING screwing with my mind!??!

-Sigh- Anyway, right now, there are guests over. My dad's coworkers. So yes, big buffet kind of dinner. I am soooooo full right now. It feels nice to be satisfied. A lot of the times, I'm hungry lol. I'm just staying in my room for the most part. Keeping to myself. LoL. They're all adults so it's like, I don't have much to talk about to them. I do want some alcohol though.. lmao. Kahlua sounds niiice right now. LoL. That really is the only drink I've gotten to taste other than red wine and champagne. Ah well.

That's it for now. Peace.

Exhibition Stress....

2009-05-06T04:31:11Z

*groan* I'd almost forgotten the stress of what it feels like to set up a friggin' exhibition.. rawr.. so our exhibition is this Thursday and I'm like stressing out how to display my work. When I commented to my teacher that I wanted to show the canvases I did last year, she was like "what? you want to show that??" in this sort of almost condescending way. I'm like O.O wtf, you did not just say that to me... So it's like, that sorta pricked at my ego a bit. I'm really fond of those canvases.. so yeah.. more ranting later...

peace

Stupid AP Exams.. stupid stupid stupid!

2009-05-01T07:05:15Z

Exams coming up next week.. gahh.. I'm not ready. Don't think my year is ready to take them yet.. Been stressing out from Art. Despite how much I don't like my art teacher I've had to try and come up with art pieces without a lot of inspiration. -pause- Something is making my laptop insanely slow...

Oh yeah! I need to tell you guys that I've gotten accepted into 4 colleges and the 5th one I got effin wait listed.. ughh.. The 5th one was my first choice, but then some crap happened. So it was like nearing the time where I have to pay for the first deposit for the tuition or something. It was due May 1st. Today. And like, it was like about 2 weeks ago where I haven't heard from VCU (my first choice) yet. I was getting worried that I wouldn't know if I was in or not. So, I had to email them asking if they can resend the decision letter. The site says they can't tell you if you got accepted or not through email or phone, so I'm like 'can you send the letter again? here, I'll give you a different address so that I can get it faster.' Friday of last week, I still haven't gotten the letter yet. So, I was stuck on my 2nd and 3rd choice schools. The second being VA Tech (yes, where that random shooting happened) and JMU, another good school with a good art department. Both accepted. So I told myself I'd think about it over the weekend and see if I can decide between the two. After soooo much thinking and mulling and contemplating, I decided on VA Tech. Why?? Well, for many reasons. It really is a good school. The campus is beautiful. I can totally see myself being comfortable there and I can see myself taking long walks to nowhere in particular when I'm bored. lol. While the school may not be known for it's art department and more for it's engineering school, I'd like to give it the benefit of the doubt and see where I can make myself within this school. My brother knows someone who graduated from Graphic Design and is doing well. So, yeah... I simply love the school. 'nuf said. And yeaah.. that shooting happened. Am I scared? A little bit. But not really. A shooting like that can practically happen at any school. Anyone is making a risk by simply walking out their door everyday, and there are psychos out there. Virginia is my home. mhmm

Anyway!! That had to be boring to read. Did I tell any of you guys about the play??? Omg, it was soooo good. So the dress rehearsal but fun. Our first full through run-through without many many stops. There were some stops, like a technical issue with the sound when this dance number came up, but after that little mess up it was all good. Opening night wasn't many people, but we tried our best and we tried to work out the kinks in performances. Opening night wasn't as passionate as the dress rehearsal, which sorta sucked.. but oh well. Then the last performance night, which was a Friday, practically EVERYONE did their best. The house was packed. The audience was awesome. In all, it was an awesome night. Our teacher even cried a bit after receiving flowers from the cast. -sigh- it was a really good moment for all of us. Looking back on it, I sorta miss Friday afternoon rehearsals. Staying after school for obscenely long hours trying to get everything together. But ah well, all good things must come to an end, right?

Recapping on LOST. "Some Like It Hoth" - OMFG, Mile's father is that Dharma Initiative Asian guy... wow. Miles looked soooooooo cute when he was little!! Major props for Hurley and his awesomeness. Trying to give who was it, George Lucas the ideas to Star WArs = lmaooo. and Naomi appears once again! I love how people just don't seem completely dead (even tho they are) and they live on through flashbacks.

"The Variable" - Just watched it last night. Daniel is baaaack! With.. hair, lmao. Really, his hair when he was graduating college... lol. Io don't even know what to say about that. And awww, his girlfriend.. Eloise was soo mean to her. But then, giving Daniel that journal with that little note in the front saying she'll always love him was sweet. Makes me think she isn't all THAT bad. And... did Widmore REALLY just say Dan was ALSO his son?!?! or was i hearing things?? I think i'm hearing things.. Can you guys confirm this for me??? And then BAM, he just gets shot by his own mother in the end?? waaha, what's up with this??

ooo, I forgot to mention the best 2 weeks of my month. Well, besides that I got a cold.. but yeah, that's not that important to this recap of those weeks. So, some month(s?) ago, I found out that my relatives and cousins from the Philippines are going to be visiting us in April and I was sooo psyched. I love them to death so it's always awesome to spend time with them. So they got here like.. mm.. April 7? It was a Tues, so yeah. Anyway, I still had to go to school that day and the next day so that was a bummer. But yeah, they got here and I wasn't able to get home on time to go with my parents to the airport to pick them up. = ( Ah well. When they arrived at my place, I was excited. A whole Spring/Easter break spent with my relatives will be fun. And it was fun. We went to Macau that Friday, which is sorta like the Las Vegas of HK. Casinos everywhere and shiz. I was sleepy as hell that morning so there are some pictures of me sleeping that were caught, lol. Hey, I had school the previous day, so I'd be sorta exhausted from working so hard. We also went to this amusement/ theme park called Ocean Park. Rides, animals (pandas), roller coasters. That type of thing. It was fuuuuuuuuun. Haven't been on a roller since last summer, so of course I was insanely happy to be riding one here. Then, the weather decided to be annoying later that afternoon and it rained on us for a while. Oh well, even that was fun. At the end of that day, me, my cousins and one Tito rode on this water ride. Dunno if you recognize it, but the thingies are shaped like "logs" and you are going through a path of water and then towards the end you plunge down like a roller coaster and you get splashed with water everywhere. We got a bit wet in that, lmao. But it was fun = ]

Another place we went to was Disneyland. There is a Disneyland in here. Amazing, lol. Anyway, I went to Disneyworld in the states, but I was waaay too young to remember and appreciate it, so, ,this would technically be my first appreciated time to Disneyland. The whole day was fun. Lol, I keep saying fun. But it was! Even though, after Ocean Park, I started to feel a bit sick. Like I was getting a cold or something. The morning we were planning to go to Disney, I was very close on saying that they should leave me behind and that they go by themselves. In fact, I really did say I wouldn't be able to go. But then, I sucked it up and decided 'what the hell, I'll go anyway.' So I went. I had fun. I had a fever in the end. lol. And after Disney... I was sick the rest of the time they were here. -.- really frustrating when all I want to do is spend time with them. But nooo, the cold prevented me from doing so. Oh well. In the end of it all, I think I got closer with my younger cousin, lol. So it's all good = ]

Hmm... y'know, prom is coming up for my school, June 6. Don't have a partner right now... Yeah.. lol. I dunno. I'm going, yeah. Just the partner thing.. lol.

Anyway, hope y'all are not stressing out (even tho you probably are) about exams. We're almost there!! Graduation is sooo close..

peace

[ L O S T ] - Namaste (+ other thoughts)

2009-03-19T14:08:39Z

Ahhhh.. great Sawyer-centric episode, I've missed him <33 lol. What can I say about this episode? I guess I can totally applaud Josh Holloway for portraying Sawyer so awesomely. Wow.. I like Sawyer so much these days..

Anyway, I can still see the feelings still there for Kate at the second to last scene where Sawyer is waving back at Kate. Plus the other few times they were eying eachother. Sawyer really gave Jack a piece of his mind for Jack's lack of great leadership skills a most times. Woot. [ One point S, zero J. ] XD

That Jack/Juliet hug... I didn't see any hidden feelings. Just a "omfg, I haven't seen you in so long!!" type of hug. I think Juliet's really into Sawyer and has settled for him.

WHO thought that lady's (forgot her name) baby was Ethan????? Was that someone's bet? Bah, i totally Lost that bet.. T.T

And the younger version of BEN! at the end... lmaooo.. I was like.. wow.. omfg omfg, it's BEN PEOPLE!! it's BEN!! I was looking at something, and I saw someone's comment that all you needed to do was add the lighting bolt scar and you got Harry Potter. Lmaoo, that just made me laugh = ]

AHH, and i'm just remembering Christian. Wtf, wtf, wtf.... I was soooo scared for Sun and Frank!! I kept telling my computer screen, "OMFG, IT'S JACOB!!! WTFFF!! IT'S JACOB!!!" At least, it had that scary aura of Jacob's cabin. Correct me of I'm wrong..

Lmao, Jack totally fits being in the 70's with that hair during the New Recruits thing. I don't know why I find that funny.

Poor Sayid.. locked up again >.< He got like... the least screen time this whole episode!

And I also thought it was funny that the random crashed people (namely Ceasar and whatever her name was, cop lady) were all concerned about trying to fend for themselves. Totally not listening to Frank (awww). Lmao > Ben trying to get to the main island > Sun stalking Ben > Frank following Sun > whole lot of following. Okay not really, but I just found it a bit funny = ]

Did anyone else pick up on Kate and Juliet having mixed feelings? Like they want to be nice, but they just screwed it all up because of their past with Jack and now Sawyer. This is like a love rectangle man. It probably already is a love rectangle.

All in all, good episode. Had me spouting randomly, squealing, and being scared. That's Lost for you <33

OMFG, I can't believe Natasha Richardson is gone.. R.I.P. +

And I just had my first Redbull in sooooo effin' long, and it tasted soooooooo good. = ] Was on the way home after taking the train and stopped by 7eleven to buy a drink. I was debated on some flavored-water thing of a energy drink or Redbull. Of course I took Redbull. Decided to treat myself today. I don't get to drink it that often these days : ( It just doesn't feel the same drinking it without you guys, y'know?

Anyway, that's all folks. Ttyl <3

{{ e d i t }}
okay... so it wasn't all about Sawyer.. since the last episode was centered on him, but still. The lack of Lost last week made me forgot for a second. No Sawyer for me for a week does that sometimes. lol. Why did they not air last week anyway?? Those idiots...

Mhm.. Just a Blurb..

2009-03-18T11:00:14Z

I'm impatiently awaiting for Lost to air already so that it'll be up tomorrow. Until then, I'll just blurb here. Nothing much is going on right now. We just took school photos yesterday... in many different ways >.< First in our cap and gown individually, then as a group, then our class in the shape of our year, '09, which was cool, then us still in that shape but with us throwing our caps in the air, then our normal uniforms as a homeroom, THEN individual ones in our normal uniform (plus) this random jacket over it. Gah, too much I tell you, but oh well. It's all going in the yearbook. You guys can see some pics on Facebook.

It's sort of funny if someone took their photos but then they don't end up graduating in the end. Yeah, that would suck, lol.

Mmm... other than that.. Got not much else. Oh, well, our play production is coming up soon. April 2 and 3. Woot. And the cast is nowhere near being prepared >.< We still got to make the set design perfect, the dancing needs to be like.. more tight (I can't think of a better word..), and everything else. Bah.. so much. Our long rehearsals are only on Fridays so really, there isn't much time left.

Yah.. my blurb is done. Gotta wash the dishes now. ^__^;;

First College Acceptance!!!

2009-03-06T16:03:55Z

YAAAA!!! Just need to blurb this real quick ^.^ So I just got my first college acceptance package thing. School of Visual Arts (SVA). It's not my first choice, nor my safety school... ironically, it's my last choice school. lmao. SVA is in New York... I was thinking I wouldn't get in because.. well.. I don't have much confidence in the greatness of my artistic skills... but yeah.. it's just something I didn't imagine much. The other colleges I applied to are universities, and not all around Art School. So.. this is a really happy moment for me. Though, given that it's all the way in NY, really far away from my home state, Virginia, the cost of it is hiiiiiiiiiiiigh. So hopefully I'll get accepted into my other schools in Virginia.

BUT STILL!! yaaaaaaaaaaaay!!
