Today's the BIG DAY (:

Basically today is Graduation. In about 12 hours, I will be a high school graduate. YAY! I can't believe it, but we did it. We survived high school! I'll get back onto the graduating subject in a bit. I would like to update and possibly pour out my feelings. Last Saturday, I went to my niece's one month celebration. I basically hung out with the A+ girls and guys & played with my nephew and rocked the niece to sleep. We ate lots and lots of really good food. We watched "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button." That movie is very interesting, but the couple has too much sex. On Sunday, we had our Baccalaureate ceremony along with our panaromic picture that I forgot to order ): After the ceremony, I took a few pictures and headed out to temple for a visit. They all questioned my attire because I was in a dress. I headed out to CSULA after temple to take my math placement test, and my goodness, I got LOST on the way there. That's freakin' SAD ): After the test, I went to go grub with Jamador at Vietnam Kitchen. Their spring rolls were delicious! Yummy! I watched UP that day, too. It's such a cute movie!!! On Monday, we had graduation practice and I lost my ticket because I came late. I sit in the 5th row. It was hot and I had allergies from the grass. Practice was extremely boring. Same thing happened on Tuesday. On Tuesday, I was a bit more annoyed because there are really immature girls that dislike me and like to shout out "BITCH" behind my back OUT LOUD but not to my face. It amazes me how they're still able to act like little middle school kids when they're f***ing seniors in high school. Grow the f*** up, already. I'm tired of your middle school bulls***. It also annoys me how people assume that I've done this or that or have said this or that from what people tell them instead of coming to me and asking me themselves. That's just straight out stupid. Never assume because you end up making an ass out of yourself. I want to get away from this stupid high school drama. People seriously need to grow up. Even I need to grow up, but I'm done dealing with this crap. I'm so glad I'm graduating today so I don't have to see any of those stupid faces again or even hear from them. UGH! I'm ready for the college life. I'm ready to socialize and be out there in the world. I'm ready to expand my knowledge a little more and become a way better and bigger(not physically) person. I have a good feeling that tonight's going to be amazing. I just want to take the time to tell all of my friends how much I appreciate them for always being there for me and listening to my stupid dramatic stories and all that. I thank them for sticking around through the thick and thin. I want to thank them for showing me a different meaning to life and always opening my eyes and heart to a new perspective. I honestly don't know how else I can show my appreciation. Losing certain friends also opened my eyes. It's about equality, not quantity. I'm going to miss each and every single one of you differently. It's been an amazing, crazy, hot tranny mess of 4 years that we've shared. Thanks for being part of those memories.

Amazing Day

Hello (: I'm in such a wonderful mood today. Well, it's more of a happy mood from the day before. There's not really much to say about last weekend. On Saturday, June 6th, I believe I stayed home for the first time in so many weekends. HAHAHA. Sunday was pretty fun. I went to chill with the cousins' and roamed the mall for funzies. Then I started counting down to the days until seniors officially check out of school. I still had work to do in first period. I made up all the work in time and I sure hope I passed that final with an "A". In second period, we sang as usual, but had the returners sing on their own for us seniors to listen. We didn't do anything in third period. We only watched videos, used the computers, and played Taboo. Fourth period was boring as usual. We had to get ready for our show and tell final. I made a collage of New York for my final presentation that I had to say in Spanish for 30 seconds or more. In 5th period, we did our "This I Believe" essays/speeches. Man, majority of the females in the class teared up as they read their "This I Believe" speeches. It really opened up my eyes to a new side that I saw of them that I have never ever seen. It really amazes me how strong these girls and guys with their physical ability to not show their mental weakness. Lots of those speeches really did get to me and I also shared my tears with them. Senior check-out day made me really sad. We were all signing each other's yearbooks. Mr. Whisler sang the song he always sings to the seniors and it made me cry to the point where I had a headache the whole day. I forgot to drop off my yearbook for my counselor to sign ): I need more pages for people to write in. We should have insert pages. Friday was the first day we came to school as non-students. It was extremely boring at Baccalaureate practice. After the practice, Hieu dropped me off at Josh's house so I could wake his ass up to make him get ready to go see people at Gabrielino. I napped for a bit while he was in the shower. Then we drove off to San Gabriel. I haven't seen the side I used to live on in forever! It felt so nice seeing everything from back when I lived there. As soon as we got to campus, the first person I saw was Miranda (: I haven't seen her since the football game. FYI, I haven't seen THESE kids in 10 freakin' years. 10 YEARS, dude! That's a long time! After that, I saw Emilia, Katie, Juliana, Gianna, Sean, and Conrad. Gianna didn't remember Josh and I. Bummer! Afterwards, I saw Allison. I still have a picture of her and I back in kindergarten when we went on this one farm trip. We tried seeing if Jessica Stewart remembered us, but that failed. We saw Bianca and Kimberly. Kimberly doesn't remember us at all. Josh wanted to see Anthony Cruz, so we went to see him, and DAMN he looks good! =X We saw Andrew, Natalie, Efren, Derek, Danny Dang, Danny Van and Tanya afterwards. We caught up with a bunch of memories from kindergarten up until like 2nd grade I think, because that's when I left Wilson. It amazes me how I can remember their faces so well along with the childhood memories I had there. I feel like I have accomplished something that I would so do before I died. It made me really miss Tyler, too. RIP. Aaron had left to Alabama for Speech Nationals or something like that. Now we're going to plan this whole reunion dinner and such so that we can really all catch up before we totally party ways. I've really missed all of them. After this, we headed back to Josh's house and watched Big Fish. He napped while I was watching it. I didn't get to finish the movie. ): Then we went to his little sister's graduation. I thought it was pretty cute what each student had to do. Interesting school, I'll tell you. After, I headed out to the A Cappella party. I ate like a fatty. I signed yearbooks. I made people sign mine. I jumped in the jumper. I got my award. I took a bunch of pictures. I hugged and sang with the group for the last time. ): *teartear. We watched our Spring Concert DVD (: Awesomeness, I tell you. Now I'm at home getting ready to seeeeep! T00DLES!

The Countdown BEGINS (:

Hello blog readers! I'm sitting in AP Gov kicking back in a way. There's some kids playing some game and most of us are on the computers. I believe it's time to update (: I just performed in my last Spring Choir Concert a few weeks ago. On May 28, 2009 ): The day before was our assemblies. They showed our video of A Cappella singing at the Knicks' game in New York. AMAZEBALLS! Hahaha. On the day of the concert, I had my hair curled and pinned up so that later that night, my hair would stay curled. I helped David and some other kids paint the "Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat" backdrop during 6th period. We also helped set up the risers and shells, too. We decorated the stage with silver streamers and lights. Then I had my mom drop off my pearl necklace and sunglasses for the Lionettes' dance after school. Practice for A Cappella was at 3:45pm. The stage was so HOT! I wanted to go get food, but I had no car because mother didn't want to lend me the van ): I went with Teddy to go get Art's but then I had to drive back to practice with Madrigals -__- Mike ended up getting me two tacos. YUMMAYYYYY. I stayed in the dressing room with the girls so we can get ready for the performance. I had Jocelyn do my make-up since Lionettes were up first. I had to leave my dress to dance in for Lionettes on stage because we had no time to run back and get dressed after the Madrigals second performance. I messed up in each dance HAHAHA. I loved dancing for A Cappella. We went all out that night and it was pretty awesome. I got to see Jamador after the dance (: We didn't hang out enough, but I texted him until I fell asleep at home. We went to BJ's afterwards and I was a bit annoyed due to some reservation problems. We all sat down and some of them left because they were going to charge for an extra table or whatever, but I didn't care; you either stay and eat or you just leave; FUCK the drama. I had a blast at dinner though<3>

[continued June 11, 2009]

After the video project was over, I had an emergency call and I had to go pick up someone. Afterwards, I left to go hang out with Josh at his house. I have no clue what we did. I think we napped, ate sticky rice, drink boba, watched movies, and played cards all day. Then I had to prepare for Senior Boards. I was sooooo nervous, it's not even funny. I had to practice my speech with the english class. It was so nerve wrecking. I kept going over 5 minutes. I had too much information on my card. I had to rewrite my card over like 5 times. Then the day of the boards actually came. We all had to dress up as if we were going in for a corporate interview. My appointment time was at 8:43. I was so nervous because I had Mr. Hernandez on the panel and we had debates in his class and it did not go so well when I had to go up. Anyway, I had 3 other people along with Mr. Hernandez on the panel. I had the school nurse, one of the people who work at the district office, and an alumni from last year. I think I talked under 5 minutes and 30 seconds. I'm not sure, I have to look at my score sheet again. Senior boards were finally over. I had to present after school at the open house to underclassmen and other seniors. The dinner wasn't so great. I got a 93 on my presentation (: AWESOME. The next day was our last renaissance assembly of the year! Wendy and Aimara made me a cute shirt TEEHEEHEE (: THe first assembly went by well and so did the second one. I liked drumline's performance THE BEST (: It was AMAZEBALLS. I didn't go to third period at all. Fourth period, there was nothing to do. 5th period, I don't remember hahahaha. After school, I went home to get ready for Aloha. I went over to Josh's to talk things out with some stupid things that had happened during that week. Everything went well. I went to go get Yogurtland afterwards and headed back to school for the dance. The line was long ): Some kids were drunk, buzzed, high, and rolling and it really annoyed me. The dance was really hot and it smelled, but I had fun. I had a headache so I left early. Josh gave me tylenol and I napped. I went to Denny's with some of the kids to eat (: I had the sampler. It was mmmmmmmmm delicious. I'm lazy. I'll update later.

Sweetheart!

Hello! It's time to extremely update. I don't remember where I last updated, so I'm just going to speak on behalf of the month of May. I became a part of Madrigals choir for the Six Flags "Music in the Parks" festival with Miranda, Perla, Vanessa, Erick, Rafael, Alex, and Jairo. We started practicing for about 2-3 weeks during lunch and after school. The performance was May 16th. I also performed with Lionettes that day. It was so hot at Six Flags. I have a very light tan from there. Madrigals got 1st place in our division and we were the only choir that got the SUPERIOR grading. Our school won the Best Overall Choir trophy (: That's what we were aiming the whole time for. :D Prom was on May 9th. I didn't really enjoy myself as much as I expected to. No offense to Christian Gasca who was my date, but I think I was better off going by myself. I started getting ready at 3PM and was done by 5:30PM. Christian and I went to get our pictures taken at TKT. I saw people I didn't want to see there, but I didn't let it phase me because it's MY prom. We went to pick up his cousin after. On the way to prom, we saw a girl get beaten up by two guys. It was sad so we called the police and reported it. We got to prom by 8:30PM. There was a long ass line to get in. You know what sucks though? I got the dot the day before prom. The food took forever to come out. The hip-hop DJ sucked real bad. I liked the Spanish music DJ better. -__- We went to eat at Denny's after prom and to Beto's kickback that sucked real bad. On May 2nd, I went to lunch with Joanna for some Hainan chicken. SO DELICIOUS! Then I headed out to temple to help set up for Buddha's birthday which was the next day. I spent hours making lotuses ): I hung out with Andy, Andrew, Derek, and Jonathan that day. We had adventures at K-Mart, San Gabriel Superstore, and Wal Mart. They're so much fun! On the day of Buddha's birthday celebration, I went to Katie's baby shower. It was fun. I got fat (: May 15 was the school's carnival that was hosted by ASB. This was the first day David came to dance with us. It was so hot practicing in the small gym. The carnival was a success pretty much. I had fun dancing with Wendy and Eric. I almost pulled both of my muscles in my calves. On May 16, Katie went into labor and I came to visit her and Audrey the next day. Audrey's soooooo TINY! I got a random call out of NOWHERE from my kindergarten best friend, Josh Amador a few days after this. I was falling asleep and all of a sudden I got a random call. I spoke into the phone half asleep "Hello?" and the voice replied with "Nancy?" and I said "Yes, who is this?" and the voice answered "Josh" and I'm thinking "Please let this be Amador" and I was RIGHT! I haven't heard from this guy in over a YEAR! We caught up a bit and talked and whatnot. He picked me up Tuesday after dance practice to chill for a good hour. I saw Storm who I also haven't spoken to in a long while. On Wednesday, we had an adventure to TKT during 6th period so I can pick up my pictures, but unfortunately, the place was closed, so he asked me to give him a tour of the school since the last time he was ever on campus, it was under construction. He came to see me after the field trip that day, too. :D I saw him the Friday after that at the Faculty Frolics Show which came out to be a huge success and it really helped even out the cost A Cappella owed for our trip to New York. The acts were funny, the singing was not too bad. I didn't expect all of that in the show. I went to chill with Josh afterwards. On the weekend, I practiced with David like we were supposed to. Then I headed out to a graduation at Damien High School. I got lost on the way there. ASDFJKL; I saw some familiar faces, but totally felt awkward. Sunday was funzies (: Spring Concert is coming up. I'm excited and sad. Senior year is almost over. I feel that I'm a lot happier now 'cause I think I got everything I need. I got family, friends, a cute boy, and college ahead of me (: I'll blog some more later. Oh yeah, FUCK BITCHES (: THUG LIFE. I don't give a DAMN or FUCK. (: I'm fucking hardcore like that. Grow up, trick.

Government Class

I'm currently in AP Gov working with my group on a project we have to do for the rest of the year. We have 4 debates coming up. How exciting! I haven't blogged in so long. It's close to almost a month already. JEEZ! I'm missing some assignments for my Senior Quest. I'm close to failing government, but I am determined to bring my grade up to a C+ at least. April 25th was RHS and WCHS' prom that I knew of. I went to UCR for the Highlander Day event this day, too. I met up with Kristine Porte, my future dormmate at UCR. (: The campus was a lot bigger than I thought. I took a lot of pamphlets and papers to read at home. We took a tour of our dorm. I'm glad I chose EastLo. (: After, I went to go pick up my prom dress from Linda's. I haven't seen her in forever! After, I went to the movies and prom. FUNZIES (: The week after, I basically studied and studied for the upcoming AP tests. I went on a field trip with Lionetttes to RHS for our performance. I forgot a lot of the words to the German song. =X Andy and Viet stopped by to visit me which was really sweet. We got "Superior" as our grading, which was pretty awesome. I finally bought my prom ticket :D April 30th was the official Senior Ditch Day, but I chose not to ditch because I found that it was pointless to ditch and go to the movies, something that I could do after school or on the weekend. LAME. On May 2, I had to go to temple to help set up for Buddha's birthday. What a tiring day! I went to eat Chicken Hainam at this Vietnamese restaurant near the CVS near New and Valley. YUMMAYYY! Then I went to temple to make a bunch of lotus' and OMG, it took me an hour to make just one. I hung out with Andrew, Derek, Andy, and Jonathan afterwards. We had adventures at K-Mart, San Gabriel Superstore, and Wal Mart. (: They're such little kids, I swear! I went to Orange County afterwards with my dad to visit my grandmother. She does NOT look Vietnamese anymore. She looks more like..white and Indian to me. =X I didn't come home until 12. I woke up the next day, which was Sunday, at 8am. I got ready and left the house at 9:30 to get food. I went to get the Lexus washed. I was supposed to be at temple at 10, but I didn't get there until 10:45 because the car wash took longer than I thought. I left Le Phat Dan early to go to Katie's baby shower. I ate steak, chips & dip, and bunch of candies. I left home early to study for the AP Gov test which was the next day. I went to go play pool at Henry's with Minh, Daren, and Luis. It was pretty fun! It was my first time playing and I won Minh and Daren. I haven't played Henry and Luis yet. I thought the test was easier than I thought, but the FRQ's killed me. ): Prom is coming up this Saturday. I'm way excited. YAY! I haven't had access to the internet for a good week. I'm dying! The only way to contact me now is through text messages and phone calls. I check my email every single day in Physiology. )': The SBC Yahoo guy better come on Monday like he told my brother he would. Sigh. So much DRAMA! I'll vent when I get my internet back. BLEH. IMY.
