so it's been such a long time since i've posted last (not that anyone really reads my blog, but still)...and uber lots has happened since then. read shitloads of fanfics and bitched about lots of crap..as well as rejoiced over things...

THE WRITER'S STRIKE IS OVER!

now...it feels so good to say that. really and truly. and now..i go to comment on my favorite authors' pages... 
and i realize that i love awaken a capella. they're a choir group in UCLA. their covers are uber awesome. also, i like marie digby (go marie!!!)....
doesn't that sound stoned for some odd reason? i think i've rambled too much.

actually, the subject title for this entry was initially 'there's a reason why wednesday is part of the addams family'. but, hey, that's my acquired phrase of the week, and it's the perfect time to get such a saying. seriously . this has got to be the crappiest week i've gotten so far. forgotten folders, broken promises, etc., etc. or so my chem teacher oh-so-famously said. 

why wednesday, you ask? well, that's the day i forgot my computer folder. yep. with major hw inside. the kind that could make or break you. and in haste of calling home to get it, i drop half my lunch on the ground. so i had to settle with just 2 dumplings and a bunch of rice (which, i admit, is better than nothing, but still..)

and the tests. WHY OH WHY, PEOPLE? cramming from one oblivion into another. it's not like it's really gonna help. and then you go into that class, and what happens? the teacher postpones it or acts like you do have a test and makes you watch iRobot yes, jollybitch, i'm talking about your sadistic self. gaah. seriously. and all these spam's shoved up my email's ass, and know what? i just want a college that will teach me well and that won't cost much. which, hey, is kinda hard to find...

well, i've ranted my b.f. and i've written more than a hundred letters, so i think i'm okay now. there's a saturday to be had and enjoyed like a normal person. i want my bones!

seriously. our building is a crapshack. i mean, i think jamestown was better off in 1607. yup. there was a freakin' fire drill today. yup. hellishly cold outside, and the admin thought it was a good idea to start a fire drill. and, as if the frost isn't enough--it was drizzling as well. of course, some of the teachers had their umbrellas and coats in their own room, but guess what? the students didn't. we had our books, sure, but MY coat was stuck in my locker. and apparently, our fire alarm's a product of the crapshack--we had a fire drill TWICE. seriously!?!?! goodness. and it was happening in one of my easiest classes. as if it can't happen at the end of the day when i have jollybitch. bad timing, stupid freaks. students should have a union.soo....between a burning building and a hypothermic surrounding, which one would you prefer to die in? 

my head hurts. but hey, the computer's magic glow of radiation is a cure. well, so is fanfiction and livejournal...and hey, guess what? i got 2 really good grades in math, so i guess the day's evening itself out. oh yeah, and the school's phasing out a shitload of books, so i got myself a textbook in the real world, you go dumpster-diving for basic necessities. at my school we go stairwell-seeking for books. weird, huh? 
hmmmmm.....and now i go to read fanfiction. fanfiction soothes the soul like ice cream soothes a fat kid.

wh0a...that sounded so nerdy....well, yeah. 'cause i'm a nerd. if you have chem, you know what i'm talking about. ANYWAYS....

sleep-deprived midget typing here...sooo.....all this week, i've only gotten about 6 hrs max per night. yup. lowest: 4. so not helping my whole 'get taller' plan. dang. seriously...

right now, i'm at my uncle's house. my mind's kinda drawing a blank...so yeah. 

NOW i remember. something special that happened per day (if i can remember). wh00t.
monday-had this whole fire alarm thing. apparently, the fates like my algebra class...we thought it was just playing until one of the upper-ups told us to get out or else. hee...we were in the middle of a huge test too, so it made it ALL the better...stayed out there for an hour. acted like a bunch of hobos. bottom line: it was GREAT.
tuesday-everyone's science fair was due (remember, the coward in me chickened out?) so pretty much the whole class was sleeping their way through the day.
wednesday-eeek. nuthin that special...stayed up late (the fateful 4-hr stretch)
thursday-big project due. kicked butt at basketball...i'm very unpredictable.
friday-ack. just got through the day. bunch of freshmen freakin' pissed me off.....stupid fish. but that's over...

AND TODAY'S SATURDAY! well, not so much. but i'm gonna make the most of it...

HAPPY MLK EVERYONE!

we took our cousin on a little field trip. frankly, i was a bit bored--i mean, going to that place is practically a rite of passage to my town's elementary students (ngek....too many scares of sex offenders to actually name the town and landmark...hehehe..no offense to innocent people who do it with the sensible people, aka NOT defenseless victims. but that's another topic altogether). so i was kinda dozing in and out. but their tour guides are hot! i mean, ladies, if you wanna be set for life, i'd pick the guy that spouted all those facts about the main topic and basically rattled a bunch of inspired words by inspired dead people. not mine, though. you can't have him. hee.

anyway, for me, the real fun came when we had to eat out after the whole 'field trip' dealie. they had this karaoke machine (and you know, asians sure like their karaoke). so we start singing...pretty soon, there was another family coming in. and they grabbed the microphone after we got our food. holy crap, they sang terrible! i mean, if there's a storm passing by that town five hours from now, i'd know why. seriously. they sang oops i did it again, barbie girl...girly songs. i HATE girly. so yeah. and all i kept thinking to myself was, 'chew and swallow. chew. and. swallow.' at least the karaoke machine didn't lie. that's all i have to say about that.

so now my feet hurt. like hell. but it was worth it. i'm going back in a couple of days, and i have gym this semester. it's a freakin' warm up. *optimistic* 

hope everyone enjoys the rest of the break! (if you haven't already, i mean)

ok, guys *looks around at imaginary audience*. it's finally '08. happy new year, everyone (i guess i should say, first of all..)

it was fun doing all the fireworks. i got stung, and got hit by those little fire end thingies (not exactly fire, but still...). and one of the fireworks that i lit actually did a trajectory and, possibly, blew up a house the next street over, but it's still good (i'm not in my neighborhood anyway, so yeah).

new year's resolution, you may ask? i don't really make them, but if i had to make any...i don't really know at the present moment what i'd make...be nicer to family? i don't really know. but if i had to make any wishes, it'd be for the writers' strike to end..heee. the bones fan in me.

i gotta say, that may be one of the better christmases i've spent...i got a shitload of clothes though....*crossing fingers for laptop with celerity-speed internet, photoshop, and really good video-editing software*..it will come..

MY MOTHER GOT ME BONES SEASON 1 ON DVD! yay...i love my mother. except when i tried to show it to my aunt, she tried to freakin' steal it away from me...i was like, 'oh, hell no...i will fight for this!' heheeee....so now the entire household is under a segmented bones season 1 marathon (segmented because my eyes already have enough radiation to rival the chernobyl nuclear incident). i had to cram for a lot of stuff--knitting a scarf and writing for a comic book mostly, but it was all good. >heeeee<

can't wait for new year--my uncle's coming. gonna be so much fun watching him annoy the crap out of my sister. *mwahahaha*

 cuz finals are officially over! yesheez, i have been studying my ASS off (and i'm pretty sure my cousin's been doing the same). and mind you, it's kinda hard when you have cousins wanting to talk to you. i mean, not being rude to them or anything, but when you need to shut your trap, you need to shut your trap. seriously. especially when the person you want to talk to has to memorize the main points of the Renaissance. but hey, i know all of my final grades except for SAT prep, and i am tellin' you, so far, it's all good. thank you....

so we have the big christmas party with the fam at my cousin's crib (so ghetto..) but the thing is my mother's working. which is crap. she has a life, people. and daughters that wanna be with her. damn you....(btw, if her employers are reading this, you guys are the best bosses ever. really *smiles like shirley temple with a lollipop*. 

and now i'm just chillin'. no homework. the two words i have longed for. reading fanfics, watching youtube and hulu. life is good. i will make the most of my 2 weeks. MERRY CHRISTMAS AND HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!

yup. well, technically, it was yesterday. i just didn't get to post before midnight (but who cares?)...

i basically flaunted by 'squint-y' intellect at the main smart-ass in my class. and it felt SO good. i mean, the stupid freak won't look up the answers--he was depending on others to give it to him (which, you know, is ok, but when you hear that annoying voice shouting out random numbers and you've only had 4 hrs of sleep, it becomes a problem). so i stood up, took my notes with me, slammed it on his desk, and read it aloud and took off with a grand exit. yup. SQUINT POWER! who's on top now, bitch? 

they're working us hard with finals (yup. less than a month before the stinkin' finals. goodness.) so much work to do, so much to cram into cranium, and so LITTLE time. it helps when you don't have a life. yuck. i'd rather watch bones all day. in fact, that's probably what i'm gonna do. right when i get out for the holidays, i will have a bones marathon. yupyup. 

that episode no, it's not just THAT episode, it's THE episode: santa in the slush (the one where B/B kissed)....did anyone else count the steamboats? i counted eight (and on the one on fox website: 12. damn!). a whole freakin' flotilla indeed. i can't wait 'til the directors bow down to the writers' demands and just give them what they want already..

as an asian, i don't normally follow the traditions of thanksgiving. we eat, but we eat asian foods. and we have families that actually talk and have a good time (not the dysfunctional kind that you see on tv or w/e).

but i'm thankful for my friends and family, first and foremost (would you look at that alliteration?). thankful for my education, my computer....and....(you guessed it) BONES!

for those that have not seen tonight's bones episode, the knight in the grid, i seriously recommend you guys seeing it. it's the most kick-ass episode i have seen thus far. and apparently, i'm one of the last vultures to know of the big spoiler coming up about the next week's episode, but lemme tell you something: i actually have it as my wallpaper on the computer right now. i showed it to my mom, her mandible (jaw...bones terms...*sigh*) just dropped. yup. and it makes me all bubbly inside. heeeee....i would've uploaded another version of the blooper kiss (icon style) courtesy of break_free_27  but LJ wouldn't take it--passed the 40 KB limit. frick. anyway, i cannot wait for the next episode. it's kinda weird though, that they're already airing the christmas episode in november...(hint: FOX just settle the damn thing with the writers already, will you?)...

concerning school: i've mapped out the stuff i need to do over the thanksgiving holiday/break. and by the looks of it, i don't think i'm really getting that much of a break. i mean, seriously, what is the use of a "break" if you're gonna pile shit for students to do? isn't that kinda like school at home? goodness. 

also.. my school's executing the modern version of decimation. it's the freakin' building! i mean, one day it's cold outside and hot inside (specifically cold in stairwells, hottest at the 3rd floor and coldest at the admin offices, obviously)--with paint fumes everywhere. what are they trying to do? and then it's freezing, back to hot. i mean, really...

*sudden change of mood* but overall, i'm happy.....BONES!

yup. not our usual, 'oh-*insert expletive here*-it's-friday' day. it's an actual 'thank-goodness-it's-friday' (the difference is that the first one connotes more negatively than the other, if nobody noticed...oh crap. i'm talking thinky-like...) our computer teacher aka jollybitch, was out today, and we had a presentation about AIDS and HIV. ooh. kinda freaked me out how one of the kids in my class would not leave the topic of which condoms were the safest. doin' the nasty-nasty already....goodness.

the stairwells are abusing me. seriously. i have a bruise in my right upper arm (that's my right posterior humerus, proximal to my olecranon process of the ulna) and my shin (the good ol' right posterior tibia, superior to the tarsals)....this guy opened the door right when i was gonna go in the other side, so the handle hit my arm. then the next day, i was going up that same stairwell and i tripped on a stair--the edge went straight to my shin. still, i'm proud to wear the temporary battle scars..

there were a lot of birthdays this week, and of course, i mooched off whenever i could (that's what happens when you're nice to everyone)...that was nice. and for my friend, we have this tradition (started last year, when we found out it was this girl's bday and we didn't have anything to give her)--we take an apple from the school breakfast and sign it. and i gave her 25 centavos (no my poor americans, not cents. centavos. that's philippine currency)...so yeah.

happy birthday, yuuhi_suushi! i'm still working on your gift. sorry sorry sorry....i'm gonna make sure i finish it in time, though...

my sister checked out HSM1. again. and she's not stopping. she must. please. for the love of music. i know one of the dances already, and people (aka me) actually have stuff to do. like essays that are in no need of funky beats like 'Get 'cha Head in the Game' (which, you know, zac is pretty hot in that song, but hey! you can't concentrate at all on the task at hand).

regardless, i must take advantage of the ambience right now--without any sounds of contemporary disney (HSM, HSM2 in particular). which means i gotta do my essay.

*the 'soarin' part of the subject is taken from the song 'we're breakin' free', for those people whose minds have yet to be brainwashed by the musical. to those, run while you can. they're coming after you....

a word about the WGA dilemma: seriously, the writers need their credit. whether it be in fanfiction, in youtube, in mediafire--whatever. the fans always say some rendition of 'this isn't mine'. their innovation is the reason why we have fanfics, fanvids, fanmix, fan-everything. it's not right that they don't credit for the shows that we've been so engrossed with. sure, the actors are the ones all over the promos and actually shooting people down, getting 'laid', or analyzing bones, but they wouldn't even be doing that in the first place without the writers' imagination. they're the (in my opinion) the real brains of the operation. not giving them credit for such works is unjust and just plain stupid. wh0a. that was a lot of words. THEY'RE CUTTING BONES SHORT! i have to do something...

we had a field trip yesterday. it was pretty fun. took a lot of pics and such. so right now, i'm getting caught up with all the news with my shows. i canNOT believe that they're stopping bones and/or moving them to friday. stupid. retarded. ack. feel like strangling someone. possibly this particularly life-sized version of french barbie. can't stand her--i wanna sew her mouth shut and yank her hair.....goodness.....

the hoops that we go through to get to the end of an exhausting day. it's funny how we're sorta suffering, and it feels like people are just laughing shamelessly at our lack of life. but in the end of the day, what matters is that you got there in the first place. wow. so poetic.

i had to salsa for spanish. whoo. wore heels, the whole thing. here's the 'kickster'. i almost got stepped on, and i did the dip wrong. haha.

thankfully, we have a field trip coming up. yay!

i watched bones. never woul've guessed that bones liked *spoiler* daffodils and daisies...and jupiter for that matter. goodness, BB sounds like an old couple. hee. gotta love them!

alright, i gotta go do my chem notes now *waah*..

goodness goodness. today was mole day, so there was a whole bunch of stuffed moles (well, not really, more like the chem students) around school...

it was also the birthday of the guy i like ooooooh.....blah-blah kissing in a tree and all that ack. his girlfriend would not go away! (in case you didn't know, the girlfriend's not me...yeah. very unrequited)...

i feel very triumphant. i finished this hella long test in computer class (the teacher made us write the whole test over, questions AND answers with the actual paragraphs...stupid freak. my finger is shaking in protest (which also happens to be my middle finger. coincidence? i think not). also, there was this dude trying to borrow my notes (open-note test, thank goodness), and i was like, er, no. so yeah. resisted the temptation. boo-yeah. so far, i'm making an a in math, which is good......now i gotta kick ass on my english essay. analyze the hell out of short stories..

bonesbonesbonesbones! i loved the episode they aired tonight! especially the last part where bones tells that psychotherapist to back off (also the beginning.."i don't believe in psychotherapy") they're very....supercilious towards dr. sweets. or sweets. w/e. booth and i have the same thing about algebra--hard as heck...i think booth has that in common with every normal human being. i can't wait for the halloween episode. wonderwoman's the bomb!

oh, apropos, our festival's this friday! shorter classes--wh00t. especially chem and algebra. double wh00t. *squee*

my dad's being sucked into the HSM vortex as well. thank goodness we're returning the DVD back tomorrow. he personally wrote the lyrics to 'breakin' free'. seriously.

alright, i need to go to sleep. *chanting kaya ko 'to incessantly* or study. whichever comes first. (did you guys see the vocab words i used? mang, the geek is in the house!)

yup. that's who i am. at the present moment. see, i've nicknamed some of my teachers (and for their safety, and mine...my grade too). she's ms. holliday. why, you might ask? she loves dreamgirls. the song 'and i'm telling you i'm not going' in particular. she sings it. all the time. all the time, she sings it. and not that good, either. hence, jennifer holliday. when we're quiet, doing our work, we hear...."and i am telllllllinng youuuuuuu...."....and she thinks she's beyonce. so it's either ms. holliday or beyonce. yup. and the bad thing? she knows me. picks on me. i'm basically the 'teacher's pet'. and it SUCKS. her class is on the 3rd floor, and she has me running all over the damn school cuz she can't walk on her own two legs. pssshhhhh.....

i got my report card yesterday. 4.0 even. thank goodness. but i have to fight. seriously, have to fight the freakin' power. get that stupid A. 

i'm gorging myself on a melange of carbs (my french vocab word, mwahaha) and chillin' like i don't have 3 tests next week and abysmally in over my head thinking that i'd come out of this torture building they call a school. yup. but hey, i got to hang out with my best friend....first time in uber-while. tried to skateboard....even though she can't. which is fine. it's ok. i got to spend quality time with my buddy, which is WAAY better than getting a 100 on some concrete academic subject that won't respond to my troubles.....

something about bones has to be mentioned. i always say something about that. THERE'S NO BONES NEXT WEEK! ARRRGGGHH! uber pissed. really uber. i think i'm uber-overdoing the word uber. yup. but still. what the hell....why the heck is there not bones next week? goodness, fox......

wow...about a week without leisure computer use. i've broken my a streak. dammit. which sucks. i have two b's now, as far as i know, which is just bs. hmmmmmm.....

the bones episode. wow. this is one of my most favorite moments... (it's not verbatim, but you get the general idea)

sam o'reilly: booth, she better be really good in bed, 'cause i don't see any reason why she should be here at all.

bones: i am, sir. very good. *booth looks shocked/horrified/embarrassed* but booth has no direct knowledge of that fact.

man, that seriously cracked me up. *sigh*....today was picture day at my school (hence the title) i really think i blinked. my head, "don't blink, don't blink...." then when the lights flashed, guess what the first thing i did was? ai-ai-ai.

i watched high school musical awhile ago (my sister has developed an obsession with it). i had an aversion to it, seeing that every single ever-lovin' person loves it (i tend to deviate from the flow)...it was ok, i guess...a little superficial and stereotypical about high school cliques, but still....it had nice rhythm... (please don't let some HSM fanatic chuck some cyber-brick at me)

so now i'm doping up on bone-crack. yeah. reading fics, watching fanvids, the like. heeeeeee.....it's waaay better than looking at my depressing and pathetic records of my dismal IQ. (wh0a, friend, big words)....

i'm operating on six hours of sleep. oh yeah. and i've been up since 5 this morning, little or no nap (the most was maybe 10 min) i am SO practicing for my residency. boo-yeah. not really fun, though. i'm tired as hell.

today was a sucky day. i had back-to-back testing, barely enough time to study--very hectic and all that mess.  and we got our lockers today. guess what this little bitty sophomore got? a bottom locker, on the second floor, away from my classes. yup. what good is a locker if it's not convenient enough to use? very tiring, very exhausting, just...ugh....

on a happier note, TV premieres are next week! yay bones! (and maybe grey's and private practice. i'm more enthused about the former than the 2 latter...) 

so today i missed school. yup. for..um...some legal stuff. no, i didn't kill anybody. and i emailed by algebra teacher to tell me what i made on the test (that could make or break my grade and thus condemn me to a life of greeting Walmart customers)...oh, by the way, my progress report, i had a 71 in that class....

and now.....*drumroll*.....i got....a 91!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! yay! (on the exam). which brings my grade up to....wait for it....an 81! and i have reserved this special icon for a moment like this. so yeah.....eeekkk.....i screamed in front of my computer, woke up both of my parents, and one of them almost cursed me into oblivion, but who gives a crap? i'm passing, i'm passing, i'm passing.....*sings* can't touch this...doo dooroodoo, doodu, doodu, can't touch this.... okay, i'll stop.

now i gotta finish my homework and study for my big world history exam tomorrow...but still! yay me!!!
