EDITOR IN CHIEF!

Seriously, today is MY DAY. My explications got cut down to ten, lucked out on English speeches, did not do anyyyything in my classes, banquet, and my BFFL AND I ARE EDITORS-IN-CHIEF OF NEXT YEAR'S YEARBOOK :))))))


Yay, now my dream job as an editor of a magazine...awaits me in the future :) (hopefully.)

Can't believe we made it this far.....Can't believe I'm a senior next year. AHHHH! IT'S JUST GOING WAY TOO FAST.

Since I love my senior editors so much,I think they deserve a blog with pictures, for once.
I'm gonna miss them :(

Passing the torch, down. Ooooohweeeeeee. (Yeah.. Chris GET OUT. haha)

Allyson!

Last, but not least, ETHANG

So....praise God for such a weekend. As stressful and tiring all these essays and projects were this weekend, I saw some light in it. The fellowship was fun, meeting new people from LB and Mo-val was fun, loooooong talks with my best about where'd we be 10 years from now, spending time with new someones were fun, and talks with my fams were fun :)

How could I not appreciate life right now. Really? Really? REALLY?! (Hehe, Grey's Anatomy thing..)

What a week...! We still got two long more weeks to go... and WE'RE OUT. End of the semester sucks. Still don't understand how can someone assign 23 explications due by Friday. They SWEEEEAR -_-

But on a brighter note it's a 3 day weekend... so... HAY! Already started off well yesterday.



Mmm.. and I found the cutest quote on Bernie's myspace. Loves it except the part where it says God can't completely erase your pain, but youknow of course He can :)

"We base our faith not on the number of tragedies God 'allows' to happen, but rather the number of times He is there for us when we can't handle them alone. find God in the people that love you, and allow them to help you back to where you want to be. have the humility to admit when you're hurting, and have the faith to believe that you are not hopeless. although God cannot promise to completely erase your pain, He does promise to help you realize that it could potentially lead you to something more beautiful than you've ever known. the first step to getting there though, is having the courage to have faith and let love in."

Mi vida as of right now is great. As drained out as I am with school, and other things, I can definitely say that God brings about new changes that never cease to challenge me, yet make me love Him even more.

Btw, my weekend was really chill. Loved it. Friday was nice catching up with some kids at Chelsea's. Haven't seen some of em in a while, like Tawnya, Rene, JANELLE, Andre, Alanna...blahblah list goes on. They're all cute. I had quality time with my sister Janelle after for a bit, missed her so much! :( and Annie and Michael picked me up.. and drove endlessly looking for something to do, and gave up. Haha

Saturday, we had a Believe mtg. Hopefully, I get enough money for that :( Then, Maria, me, CJ, Mikey, and Topher were supposed to see MEG AND DIA at hunington for FREEEEE.. but..no..too late.. I was super excited too :( I saw the Maine though... eh, don't care about them. Had some Albertaco's with Janine and Ezra after though. HAHA.. love them. Thanks Ezra for the carne asada fries, you's da best. I fell asleep on the way back, getting out of the car half asleep.. hahaha

Andddd...so, I just got off the phone with BestFriend Matt.. and.. we've come to the conclusion that we're getting older and we're almost off into the real world in a year. And we've also concluded that.. SOME people seriously are acting as if they can make it own their own already. Puhhhhlease. You can barely take care of yourselves.

I have a lot on my mind. Maybe, I think way too much. Haha nothing wrong with that, right? Or...I'm probably just PMSing. Haha.

Since, everyone, including myself, has been a pessimistic person this week.. I'll just name 5 things that happened today that made me happeh.

• 96% on my calc test...which I wasn't ready for. Plus, 10% more...so 106% on my math test.. what a nerd, I know. At my 4.0 still :)
  
• Talked to some people I wouldn't usually talk to today, which is good. I like getting to know other people.
• Chipotle!
• Filming with a DMX/Jay Chou lover. HAHAHA.
• Realized it's almost summer
• Which also means....almost getting my license.

:) Kay, that helped. hahah, let's see what my plans are for tomorrow? Hanging out with Annie or Janelle? Idk! We will see

P.S. Btw, I know it may seem.. discouraging, but I just don't want you getting hurt the way I did. But I guess you have to learn on your own..it's the only way it'll make sense to you.

Well, my weekend was pretty fun-filled :)

Friday- Shopppppang with Brianna, got our skirts and summer stuff! Girl talks and Bride Wars

Saturday- Viet food with my bestfriends and mi casa forevers with Marie, Elyss. (HAHA.), Eazy, and Kathreezy. Lol. So boring, yet fun at the same time..if that makes sense. We played Snaps & Wii. HAHA Then kicked it with Cameron and Chester till we got to Christian's for a little kickback thang. Cameron jerking on the street... almost getting killed, was.... HAHA. The kick back was pretty fun though :) For my first time though playing, I definitely can say I ownnnned. Hehe. My partners, Annie and Katherine are wwwwsup. Haha.. Cept Katherine we suck playing together :)

Sunday- Mother's Day! Drove around got mi madre flowers, card, and balloons, then went to my grandma's house for a family party.

And as for today... I can say this week is going by really slow, but thank God.. I've gotten things off my chest :) Pray for me though! I'm definitely in need of some patience.

Mkay, pictures are on myspace. Well, two are. Haha

In all honesty, I'm choking up, but thank God that it hasn't completely knocked me down. I trust in Your word completely. Don't let me forget that, God, I'm not giving up. I repeat, I am not.

April was...

ehhhh.

Well, it seems as if my patience was being tested. I don't know if everything seemed to get on my nerves just today, or people are just straight up mean and judgmental, but I'm tired of it.. I can't be at my best all the time and at everything. I feel like others set up expectations for me and that I'm set to follow em. Really though..I hate being expected to do things right the first time. Cliché, but I'm only human, making mistake after mistake, still learning, just like you and the rest of the world.

I know, I really, really do try to be patient with other things. I mean, at times I fail at it, but I really do try? People have always told me to speak up if something's wrong, but to me, that's kinda like starting an argument, which I'm not really down for? Yeah, dumb to just let people walk all over me...but I don't know. Arguments get me nowhere. I'd rather put up a front and just shut up like I don't care, but then again that gets me nowhere either. I guess it's because I know telling someone straight up, "you're acting like this, you're acting like that", they'll just try to defend themselves..which ends up in an argument of course.

1) I can either be brutally honest and upfront or 2) Just accept it, and move on silently.

Always the second choice. Which can be good, but not always. I need to learn how to speak up, humbly?


"Have patience with all things, but chiefly have patience with yourself. Do not lose courage in considering your own imperfections, but instantly set about remedying them –every day begin the task anew."

This weekend didn't feel like a weekend...kinda. :( Friday was spent attempting to study for SAT's at Marie's. Elyssa came over to pick us up, haha she let me drive her car for like 3 minutes. Hahaha, the thrill of doing something illegal. I'm so gay. Lol. Went to Barnes and Nobles to attempt to look over workbooks and study. Fail. Waited for Dean the x-men nerd to meet us up at the Shoppes, and that fool is so excited that he misses all the directions. Hahah, oh dear. Then we watched wolverine with Camille, her boyfriend, and Acker? (idk if thats his real name, hahaha). It was eh. And my favorite part of the weekend was the SAT's....sikke...5 hours doing 10 sessions, 7:30-1:30. Saw some people I didn't expect to be there though :) That at least brightened my morning a bit. Katherine, Marc, and I decided that we were starving little beasts and just went to the Village for some Musubi. Oh btw tanks Marc for the free lunch :) And I arrived home to a Pacqiuao family party....in which that fool killlled it in two rounds! Now, I'm really tired and can't sleep and blogging about pointless things that no one cares about. HAHA.

Once again, too lazy to post up pictures or they're just on my other computer :( What a boring blogger I am.

Oh and allllo Topher!
