Malfunctions and Breakdowns

It seems today is the day for malfunctions and breakdowns. How incredibly maddening! What I did today: awoke at about 10 (yes!), attempted (yes, attempted) to consume breakfast, watched a bit of television, began to read for Deca (it's actually pretty interesting so far), made a call for help (ha) due to a certain malfunction, continued reading, had lunch, parked my butt at the computer desk chair and set my eyes on the computer monitor while oh so expertly placing my two virtuoso hands on the computer keyboard clacking away, made another call for help (ha) but not due to a malfunction, went to a music store in Monterey Park in hopes of finally purchasing a guitar, amateurishly browsed the store, chose the cheapest package and then made the guy wait for a long time but not really while looking for guitar music books, finally made the purchase (not like I paid, though), went to the dentistry nearby because they had called a few days ago informing me that it was time for a check-up,

The Young and the Restless

Here I am again, the second time today. It's been less than three hours since I last posted, after having repeatedly proclaimed how absolutely bored I was. Still am, really. Right now, I am using the computer computer. I disconnected both the mouse and keyboard at the same time, reconnected them, and restarted the computer. And would you look at this, it works. I do still have a slight headache from all that utterly excruciating boredom. And all this... Whatever this may be. Perhaps I should go to the park today. My daily summer remedy. Ha, we'll see about "daily" once summer school starts. Which is in about a week and a day or two. Approximately twenty minutes ago, while I was washing the dishes (yes, I actually washed the dishes!), this thought occurred to me: It is so hard for us to believe the truth and what lies right before our eyes, but so easy for us to believe lies (pun?) and what we cannot see. Why, oh why? Or, you know, now that I've had a second to rea

Sure, Why Not

That is what I just thought to myself in response to my most recently received instant message. It is yet another sunny, nice Saturday afternoon, and I am both bored and burdened. I feel that I have absolutely nothing to do, whereas I know that I have a lot of AP assignments to begin. Talk about subjectivity and objectivity, or whatever the correct noun forms are. I've been sitting throughout the day; there's nothing good to watch on television, no place fun to go, nobody interesting to "conversate" with... Of course, there's homework. But that'd go in the category of "nothing good to do". Though I have to admit, it is useful slash educational. Oh, and add to that list, "nothing intriguing to blog about". Because nothing interesting has happened. I've been going to the park a lot this week. Even though I haven't gone today. I think I actually enjoy going there and doing whatever it is we end up doing (badminton, basketball, sitting,

Hot and Cold

I feel it rather strange that there are days when I "Endlessly" go on and on about stuff and then days when I just plain don't blog at all. Do you? Anyway, it is currently Wednesday night (if I am keeping track correctly), at 10:42. I am already sleepy due to having awoken at the horrifically ungodly hour of half past five this morning just to go out and personally extend my physical "education". Ha. I went with my cousins and them to jog and then to the park to play basketball and badminton. And, of course, to swing. On the swingset. Now, you're probably thinking of how juvenile it is, but swinging is actually very rejuvenating, or, at the very least, relaxing. You don't have to think about anything except the wind in your hair (if you have hair...) or the sand beneath your in-the-air-but-not-flying feet. Then, around nine, I was supposed to go and do some blood test or whatever (yuck), but then I called the place, and because I had had some clementine

This Is Real, This Is Me

So I watched "Camp Rock" last night. Well, not really. I saw about fifteen minutes total of it: the first five minutes and then the ending. Because I barely watched the movie, it would barely be viable for me to comment on it. But let me just say that the songs are pretty good. What I don't like about it is that it seems like a retake/remake of "High School Musical". Ah, Joe Jonas... He's nineteen in November! I mean, not that it matters any to me in any way whatsoever. We went out for dinner tonight. I really did not want to go out because after having stayed home all day playing cards and whatever lazy else, I thought it rather pointless to change and go out just for an overpriced meal that could simply be made at home for much lower of a cost. But hey, I guess you gotta pay to entertain. Or whatever. Some of my father's companions came up from Santa Ana, and every time that they do, we go out to eat. I don't get why we couldn't go to the mall

Go the Distance

Today was the official last day of school. I can bet that if everybody was to gather at one set place, the counted population would be approximately sixty, seventy at most. There was no lunch line! You know, I had said in the morning to my friend that the cafeteria people would probably be eager to give away lunches, seeing as how there were so less people present. But then apparently, they're smart, too! There was a lot less (oxymoron!) food than usual, and...yeah. It was sufficient, though, I suppose. Ah...the last day of school. And tomorrow is the first day of summer! I actually received a text from somebody today saying, "Happy summer solstice!" Haha. She sent it at exactly 1:00 P.M.; I don't recall if the solstice occurs at a set time, but I'd say 1 in the afternoon sounds about precise. It was so hot today! Luckily, though, I learned from yesterday and did not even set foot near or on the PE field today. Every time I stepped out from a building, I instantly

George Orwell

once pondered, "On the whole human beings want to be good, but not too good, and not quite all the time." It is so astoundingly, mind-bogglingly hot. Today during school the winds were winds of HEAT! STRONG heat! Usually winds are supposed to cool you down in the case of heat, but these winds... They were just plain wrong. So, so hot!! Global warming, again, has made a comeback. Pft, unlike the Lakers... But I'm over that! Speaking of which, during lunch today, some kids were going around the quad and cafeteria holding up a poster declaring the Celtics' victory. They were running around yelling and...whooping! Whatever the correct term for their actions is. There was actually commotion, too. As I was walking to fourth period, one guy threw his mashed potatoes; I don't know where he was aiming, but...he threw it! This weather, this...insane climatology is catastrophic. We are plummeting into an abyss of catastrophe! There's the environment: global warming. If y

Driving Myself Insane

And about two days ago, that was apparently the craze amongst several of my peers. I just finished listening to it. And now I am listening to...Paris Hilton. "Nothing In This World" is actually a pretty good song. Just...do not watch the music video. Seriously, don't. Oh, how strangely coincidental. I was just thinking about somebody, and he just signed on on AIM. Interesting, huh? Quite. My left pinky finger aches from guitar. Not surprisingly (and I already knew from piano), the pinky is often the weakest finger. Anyway...it hurts! In that class, we've been learning how to play chords and what essentially seem like broken chords. And we've heard some familiar and nice-sounding songs! I had one stuck in my head right before I began blogging... Oh well. We don't have class tomorrow, because of graduation or something along that line. I don't think I want to go to class the following day because I wish to attend the Chatsworth graduation that is to take pla

So it's kind of unfair

that I, who actually try, do not get what I was vying for, whereas they , who did not (have to) try, did and do get what they wanted. This year, I've taken out a dusty box of old words that I would rarely have used had it not been for all that happened. Or, in this case, did not happen. Anyway, I did not get chancellorship, much less Chancellor of Social Activities. I could still try to be a representative for my academy, which is Humanities, but I just don't want to anymore. I mean, twice bitten, thrice shy here, okay? And I guess this just goes to show that I'm not cut for Leadership. I never liked it much anyway. I don't even know why I tried. (No, this is not a defense mechanism. It's the real truth.) Still, it's not fair that I, who tried and was the first to want it, did not get it, whereas there are others who didn't care much to begin with did get it. Just plain unfair. If this is how life works, I'm starting to like it less and less. Just kiddin

The Lady of Shallot

I'm currently listening to that song, in lack of anything else better that I can find and listen to. But it's a good song, so I do not at all mind the least bit that I'm going to be listening to it over and over until I finish this. It is 12:45 p.m. (where has the time gone?!) and I decided to take a break from my preliminary round of today's clean-up. I haven't gone to play tennis yet, because some body was still sleeping at 10:00. I really need to organize a lot of my stuff, though, so I guess I could use that time to do that. And hopefully we shall go play later on, and then play badminton after dinner. I need endorphins. Endorphins...gotta love 'em. Today's a rather nice day, in general. Emphasis on that appositive phrase. So let's see... What do I have to do today? Study for math, organize my stuff, read Change of Heart ... Basically it, I suppose. I can't believe that there are only five more days of school left (four, if you don't count Fr

Heavy Heart

I'm feeling it again... And it's been quite a long time since I've felt it. This must mean that I am feeling extremely burdened right now. Let's just start simply, with my day: The Spanish final, which I literally did not study the least bit for, was just plain boring. Just. Plain. Boring! It was 100 questions (1oo is never good), and then fifteen more short answer ones. She said that people who have A's don't have to do them, but then I wanted to do them anyway, because I finished with over and hour of class left. Then again, I didn't do them, because I had somewhat of a headache at the time. I've been waking up with headaches almost every day this week. And that clearly is not a healthy occurrence. Anyway, after I finished, I "signed" a yearbook (wrote a short story, practically) and then just talked with the friend behind me. (Yes, I do have a few friends in that class, contrary to my much-mentioned dislike for it.) Finally, at 9:45, the bel

Finally

It feels like it has been such a long time since I last blogged. Which, in actuality, was merely several days ago. But still, a lot has happened. That "finally" for the title wasn't referring to that, though. I tried to sign in to this a few minutes ago, and it wouldn't work, and I just tried again, and clearly, it does now. "You try and you fail, you try and you fail. But the only true failure is when you stop trying." Today is the day that I can "finally" take a breather. This week has been absolutely hectic. Finals are tomorrow, and today is the only day this week that I feel perfectly calm. Heck, today might as well have been finals day. That chemistry test was just plain horrible. Only ten multiple choice questions, which means each one counts for ten percent! I suck at multiple choice, I really do. And for the second free response, I completely... Well, actually, it'd be a lie to say that I forgot, because really, I just didn't know h

Tis a beautiful day.

It's Saturday! Which means, the SAT test that I so did not even bother to care much about is now over. It was relatively easy, actually. Until I get my score... But for the time being, I'm okay. I skipped ten questions, and as I had predicted (because I know myself so well), I didn't have enough time. But I can't say that I didn't finish; let's go with I didn't have enough time to complete everything. Anyway, my "twin" and I finished at 10:05 or so, and us two and one other person were the only ones who were taking only one test. Everybody else in the room was taking either one or two more. So my mother drove us back, and then I went to my "twin"'s home to work on the history music video project thing. And I came back at around noon to eat lunch, and now here I am, telling you about my morning/ early afternoon. I'm on AIM right now (as usual), and I have absolutely nothing good to talk about. I mean, nothing to blab about, anyway.
