According to them, if I don't get into a University of California, I am considered a failure in their eyes.

...

Jeez, that certainly makes me feel better, considering that the college I want to go to ISN'T EVEN IN CALIFORNIA IN THE FIRST PLACE.

Way to lower my self-esteem AND put more pressure on me.

You two are totally awesome.

Urgh, I hate Asian parents. ;___;

Danny's being a spoiled brat and Mom's being close-minded but what else is new?

It's freezing cold, that's what is new! WHY IS IT SO FREAKING COLD?!

Anyway, does anyone know what jobs require only two years of college? It's for my homework. >____>

Still obsessed with Torchwood. Now that I've told Jefferson about it, he won't stop making perverted comments about the title. LOL

...was spent with the entire family eating dinner around the kitchen table for the first time in a long while.

...I feel sorta...I dunno. Happy?

Haha. Yeah. =]

...by nearly a week.

Reason why I'm doing this now?

Cause we finally got the cake. xD





Me and Danny. Aren't we just adorable~?!

And I just have to show this to you guys.



Danny just got photobombed by our grandpa. *high fives* You're awesome, Grandpa! =]

DAD: What does that say? *gestures to Danny's t-shirt*
DANNY: Uh... *straightens t-shirt out*
DAD: *reads* How am I suppose to get better at video games if I'm stuck in school seven hours a day...
-PAUSE-
DAD: ...oh god.
ME & DANNY: *laughs*

It was the way he said 'oh god' that had set us off. The tone was hilarious.

Happy Birthday, Mama.

May you feel as young as you look.

Cause God knows how many times my teachers have mistaken you for my sister or friend. ♥

In the car...

FATHER: *stops at stop sign*
ME & DANNY: *talking with each other*
FATHER: *somehow enters the conversation*
THE THREE OF US: *continues talking*
CAR FROM BEHIND: *comes up next to us and makes an angry gesture*
FATHER: Oh! 0___o
OUR CAR: *starts moving forward*
ME: Oh, Dad, I can't believe you forgot to go.
FATHER: *defensively* I thought it was a streetlight!
DANNY & ME: *laughing*

Dad, never change, despite how dorky you may seem sometimes... xD

Happy 50th Anniversary, Grandma, Grandpa! =]

Technically, it's tomorrow but blah. xP

It will take a while to give them their presents since I'm sure that fifty paper cranes will take a while to fold.

Especially when I don't know how to fold them. >____>;

But their anniversary is worth it. =D

My family and I had just gotten a few years off our lives.

So I called home to tell Grandma that I was riding the 38-bus and to wait for me at Larkin. When I got off, Grandma told me that Danny had gotten on the bus before me and still hadn't gotten off yet. So I called him, only to immediately go into voicemail.

Cue worrying, repeated calls, and looking around while making assumptions of worse case scenarios. >_____>

As it turns out, Grandma thought that it was Danny who called her to tell her that he was on the 38-bus. And he was at school the entire time. *headdesk repeatedly*

I really hope Danny goes through puberty soon if our voices-sounding-the-same thing is beginning to cause this much trouble... *heavy sigh*

I'm actually doing my APUSH homework. It's the new grading quarter and I already know my GPA for the last one was below 3.0 (probably) so I'm buckling down and doing most of my work now. Let's hope I don't get lazy again.

I hate circles. And ellipses. And graphing. GO BACK TO TRIANGLES!!!!! >____________<

Anyway! WW2 is pretty interesting so I'm sure I won't get side-tracked much.

Oh! And the bus pass for this month is light blue and turquoise. When I first saw it, I was like 'zomg hyoutei'. LOL Probably because I was watching the Imperial Match backstage.

I emailed my uncle to ask if he could buy me the Tenipuri 100 Song Marathon. He said he could so now, I have to find a time so I can meet him.

My mom and my grandpa are going to China soon! Mom asked me if I wanted anything and I only told her to take lots of pictures. Of my baby cousin. xD

Speaking of pictures, how the hell do I change the language of Picasa so it's English?! Cause, argh! Stupid me being unable to read Chinese characters that well.

Yeah, this entry is very random.

Currently at Sophia's new house in Daly City. It's a one-bedroom apartment. The living room is huge and comfortable. And if you look out the windows, the large stretch of green space is a golf course. xD I saw people going by with their bags and all that.

Golf carts! LOL

Everywhere I look, I see flowers. I'm beginning to think Sophia's obsessed with them. Heh.

I am so tired and cold. Not used to waking up this early. And the window's open. *shivers*

There are rainbow lights (the Christmas lights) and little red lanterns in the living room.

My family's going all out for Lunar New Years. Haha.

I wonder what we'll be having.

I want to cut my hair, as I've mentioned before, but my friends say I shouldn't. Des told me not to cause she thinks it's beautiful. Haha.

Ah, I drew another character from one of my stories, Fallen from Heaven. Amazingly enough, they do not look alike. And the boys actually look their gender! xD LMAO

Anyway, it's about an archangel called Zechariah who had killed the occupants of a temple and stole something from there and the High Council stripped him of his rank, restricted his powers, and sentenced him to live on Earth. Being who he is, he kills the loved ones of the members of the High Council as revenge.

Which brings us to our other main character!

Setsuna Kamino is the daughter of one of the Council members and attends Hoshino Academy, a Earthen school. So, she is next on Zechariah's list but being one of the main characters, she doesn't go down as easily as Zechariah may hope for.

So Zechariah inflitrates Hoshino Academy as a student to know about Setsuna's weaknesses and strengths so he can plan better.

Believe me, it's much more interesting than I make it sound. Haha.

I already got the prologue written and I'm a bit into the first chapter so... yeah. xD I'm really excited about writing it cause I've only been writing in my Rose series and that gets tiring after a while. >_______<

Grandma and Mom are yelling again...

.....

I can't tell what they're arguing about.... but....

I hate it.

I don't like it when they argue because it's usually over my uncle. The one that Mom forbid us from seeing.

......

I hear things being knocked over.

They're arguing over something that Grandma did. That's all I can tell.

Grandma's close to tears. Mom sounds pretty calm, trying to reason about something. Dad's trying to stop them. 

I'm surprised Danny hasn't come over to where I am yet. He always does whenever he hears them arguing.

Well, my parents bought a new TV. Ain't that great? So apparently, they're giving me their old one (TV1) to me and keeping TV2 in their room.

Oh, and Dad's giving me a new computer.

Now I gotta transfer all my things into it~

This is why I hate having new computers. -____-

Speaking of which, I'm still on Day 7 of TWEWY. Trying to beat the Game Master but failing horribly. Stupid Danny defeated him but turned the DS off immediately after he beat him.

Evil butthead..... >___>

Still cold. Really need gloves.

Oh. Sophia gave me $20 as an Xmas present. =D I ♥ that woman.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

Haha. I would have done it this morning but I woke up just in time for lunch. And once I was finished with my lunch, Mom dragged me out shopping. And after that, we went out to eat buffet. xD I only just came home.

Nothing much to say, except for the fact that the family went to a seafood buffet. And of course, I am allergic to seafood. Well, I think it's shellfish, but I didn't want to risk it. So I only ate some string beans, chicken, and fried rice (after taking the shrimps out) and then I ate dessert. Cause everything else had seafood in it.

I wonder if Mom forgot that I was allergic...

Because I could only eat so much, I'm still a bit hungry. -____-;

It came out of nowhere but somehow, I'm back to the Digimon fandom. How?... I have no idea.

On other news, Danny and I finally agreed on an English name for our baby cousin. Andrew. Mom was actually the one to suggest it and since I liked it and it was pretty easy to pronounce, we decided that was that.

Mom also suggested a Chinese name. I have no idea of the pinyin but I do know it means 'wise' or something like that.

Me: *looking through the Yahoo! headlines* Oh, I had no idea it was Mickey Mouse's 80th anniversary.
Danny: *from where he's playing The World Ends With You* Yeah, you didn't know?
Me: ...no....

Can someone say out of touch? *brow raised* Especially when your twelve-year-old brother knows more than you do....

He's beginning to make me wanna play TWEWY.... >_____<

I HAVE A LITTLE COUSIN!!!! ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥

Mom's younger brother's wife (my aunt, to be simple) just gave birth to a boy!

Since he was born in China, his birthday is on November 13th.

I do not know the name yet, but this is still awesome! xD

It's rare you'll find me up this early. I can thank Mom for that since she decided to slip into my bed and scared the crap outta me.

I was really surprised on how I hadn't felt and heard the bunk bed shaking and creaking.

Ah well. We're going to Costco today. That's what she woke me up for.

Nyeeeh.... -________- So tired still....

Ima go get some frosted flakes....

And before you ask, I just wanted to use the icon. xD I loved that scene in the manga... I'm always rereading it. LOL

It hurts a lot to see how much pain my grandpa is in because of his cancer.

He is beginning to have trouble standing up.

*hugs self*

According to Mom, Grandpa got cancer because he watched too much television.

So, in order to protect her children from the same type of cancer, she has told them that they can only go on the computer for an hour each day.

....SAY WHAT?!

What about my homework!? *shakes plushie by neck* GAAAAAAAAAH!!!!!

I understand her concern but.... *throws up hands* GYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!!!
