| a typical lyric entry... sue me! |
[18 Oct 2004|04:39pm] |
Every time I look at you the world just melts away
All my troubles, all my fears dissolve in your affections
You've seen me at my weakest but you take me as I am
And when I fall you offer me a softer place to land
You stay the course, you hold the line, you keep it all together
You're the one true thing I know I can believe in
You're all the things that I desire, you save me, you complete me
You're the one true thing I know I can believe
I get mad so easy but you give me room to breathe
No matter what I say or do 'cause you're too good to fight about it
Even when I have to push just to see how far you'll go
You wont stoop down to battle but you never turn to go
Your love is just the antidote when nothing else will cure me
There are times I cant decide when I cant tell up from down
You make me feel less crazy when otherwise I'd drown
But you pick me up and brush me off and tell me I'm OK
Sometimes thats just what we need to get us through the day

Today was quite productive.. went to SAT class for 6hrs and scored decent (well.. decent compared to my previous scores) on the test and the essay part :| Then went to Barnes & Noble to study/do hw for AP physics with Ainsley, Vince, and Mathieu. Ha I ended up staying there for around 6hrs too.. I did probably around less than 3 quarters of the amount of problems that then did, but hey, I'm friggin proud of myself because I was way more productive than if I had done it at home -_- While there, saw the two guys (one of them is named D-Poc....?) from my class, Rina and her friend, Cyrus and Terry, Ben, Caroline, and Urpan. Why am I updating about such a boring day, you ask? Because
I GOT A FRIGGIN KITTEN TODAY!!!!
I know, very random.. my mom decided to get it this morning, after she found a next of rats in our old barbeque thing. I guess it's sort of weird that we're buying a cat to kill and murder Mommy Rat and her babies.. but who cares! I have a cat again!!! (my old one got eaten by a coyote) It's brownish/blackish/gray with a patch of white on its chest :) I wasn't there when my mom and brother bought it, so I seriously just saw it five minutes ago. It's so tiny!!!!!!!! And oh, my gosh is it smart. In less than two hours, it taught itself how to use the kitty-litter box! I'll take mucho pictures of it tomorrow.. muaha I'm such a crazy cat person.. !!!
Oh, yeah.. and her name's Maxine :) For you NHS people, you know why we named her Maxine? Well my mom had a nightmare last week where she found gigantic rats in her bathroom, so she ran downstairs into the game room, where Ron, Max, and Danny were playing video games. She started screaming about the rats, but Max was the only one who responded. He went over to the gigantic rats, picked one up, and bit its head off! She woke up screaming haha.. so yeah, her dream supposedly came true, because now we have a kitty named Maxine who's going to eventually rip off mousy heads! HEHE!

| East Coast Tour Part IV |
[30 Sep 2004|05:32pm] |
Day 5
After a couple of hours in the tour bus, we get to Washington D.C.!! A visit to our nation's capital really opened my eyes and heart to how great this country is.. I wouldn't want to live anywhere else (despite it's bad reputation) :] Anyways, our first stop was at the Jefferson Memorial. Inside was a giant statue of him, along with four very long quotes from him along the inside walls. It was a beautiful day, and sitting inside the cool dome was very relaxing. Oh, yeah.. and I think what started up my jingoism was reading Jefferson's quotes :]
( The Jefferson Memorial )
Next, we drove for a few minutes to see the Lincoln Memorial. That was, by far, my favorite part of the tour (I repeat, the tour. The actual site-seeing in New York with only my mom and brother doesn't count as being part of the tour).. even though I had the worst cramps in the ever. Anyways, that's irrelevent to Mr. Lincoln :] Abe has always been my favorite president, so walking into his memorial was like a dream come true. Walking up to his huge marble bust, I almost felt like it was proper to pray or something haha.. Anyways, I dont know why I only have one picture of him.. I don't even have any shots of the entire meorial!! I think I was too caught up by it.. plus, the heat and cramps was making me absent-minded.
My one blurry picture of Mr. Abraham Linoln :(
Next, we saw the Washington Memorial and the Reflecting Pool. We didn't really have to do anything besides look across on the opposite side of the Lincoln Memorial to see it.. I kept thinking of Forrest Gump at the time (you know.. during the protest and Jenny comes running towards him in the pool) :P
A beauty, ain't she?
Afterwards, we walked on over to the Vietnam Veteran's Memorial Wall. It was different from what I had expected it to look like.. but nonetheless very moving. The following pictures are some of my favorite pictures that I took on the tour:
( Vietnam War Memorial )
We then went over to the Korean War Memorial, where there were statues of American soldiers and another wall. What I found interesting about this particular was is that instead of names, like the Vietnam wall, there were pictures inscribed inside the stone. You know those pictures that are made up of dots, so that if you stand really close to it, it looks really weird, but if you stand far away, it looks perfectly clear and beuatiful? Well that's what the wall was like.. each picture was made out of individual chinks made inside the wall. (haha I know what you're thinking)
( Korean War Memorial )
And of course, what's a trip to Washington D.C. without seeing the White House? When we got there, we had were stopped just (literally) a few yards from where we could see the White House (trees were blocking our view) because a helicopter was landing ahead of us. At first we were like "Oh, maybe it's President Bush!" but all we could see were people in suits come on and off and on and off the chopper.. after a while I grew tedious of the wait and sat down (CRAMPS). Finally the chopper lifted off and flew away, and it was announced that Vice President Cheney had boarded the helicopter. I guess you could say I was sort of excited.. I mean it's obvious I'm not a fan a Cheney's.. but I get to say that I saw the Vice President ;) Haha it doesn't really count, though.. I couldn't distinguish anybody in the array of suits, plus I looked away for a while, so maybe I missed. Oh, well! Afterwards we got passage and saw the White House :)
( The White House... and Cheney )
Later we went to see another building.. and I forgot what it's called -_- There's a statue of that president.. the one that fought in The Civil War.. and is on five dollar bill.. wow, my brain's dead.
Haha there's a crane in the background
We left all the magnificent memorials to my displeasement and went to one of the Smithsonean museums.. the aircraft one. My cramps was practically blinding by then, so I just sat down in the museum when my mom and brother looked around.
A picture that I didn't take
We ended the day by visiting Ford's Theatre, which is where Lincoln got shot :( While taking the picture below, I was standing in front of the house that Lincoln died in, which is right across the street from the theatre.
Okay, next time will be pictures of Niagra Falls and Canada and stuff. Just to tell you, after Washington D.C., I lost my already dwindling effort to take pictures.. yeah.

| Yes. |
[28 Sep 2004|10:27pm] |
My fingers are cold and stiff. I have to work in my brother's room because my computer's broken.. he wants the window open so it won't get too hot. I need a jacket.
Really now! My procrastination is becoming ridiculous.. someone send me to a shrink or something.

| Never mind.. East Coast Tour Part III |
[28 Sep 2004|07:43pm] |
Day 4
This was the actual day when the tour began, as in fob Chinese tour guides, fob Chinese old people and families, big mother-tour buses, rushed bathroom breaks, etc. etc. etc. We started off the day by going to Wall Street and Ground Zero (see previous entry). Then we moved onto United Nations (ha I keep wanting to call it MUN).
( The U.N. )
Afterwards we headed off to the Empire State Building. After waiting aimlessly in line forever and becoming paranoid about a) the building toppling over and b) terrorist attacks (need I remind you that I was in New York during the whole HIGH-TERRORIST-RISK time), we made it to the top!
( Empire State Building )
Next stop was a little mini-cruise thing where we went along the coast of Manhattan and sailed right up to the Statue of Liberty. I really enjoyed it.. what can be better than being on water, watching New York, sailing by New Jersey, going under all three famous bridges, and going right up to Ms. Liberty herself??
( The Cruise )
We then went to Carnegie Hall. There wasn't anything that special about it.. but whatevs, G. I get to say "Yeah, I've been to Carnegie Hall" MUAHA.
( Carnegie )
And finally, we went off to Fifth Avenue. As you know, my family and I had already gone there prior to the tour, so I didn't really take any pictures besides this:
Woohoo! Today news! Kristin K! The Rainbow Room! Yeah!
Then.. it was good bye, New York. I still miss it.. I can never get enough of that city. It will literally be a dream come true if I ever get to live there in the future. Anyways, we headed by bus all the way to Philedelphia. First stop was Betsy Ross's house (the America flag maker.. yeah.)
We then went on what was supposed to be the oldest-working street in America. Yeah.. it was about the size of a sidewalk. The houses along the street were about the size of my bedroom. The ignorant Chinese tourists (including me -_-) didn't bother to hear the tour guide tell us that people still live in those houses.. so a bunch of us would go up to the doors and try to open them or peek through the mail slots.. I'm so sorry -_- I'd be afraid to live in those houses, though.. I mean, what if they're haunted?!
Someone's backyard
We then went to see the Liberty Bell and America's first congress house or senate house or SOMETHING..
( The Liberty Bell.. with feet!! )
I think that's all we did that day.. I'm wondering why I don't have any night-pictures. I guess we were on a bus for the rest of the day or something.. anyways, I have no idea when I'll be back with Day 4, but just to tell you, it's going to be pictures of Washington D.C. :]

I'm too lazy to dedicate entire entries to pictures I took in the east coast, so I'll be putting up random pictures. These two are of (obviously) Wall Street. It was empty when we got there because it was a Sunday morning.. now that was cool. We were right next to Ground Zero of course..
Thanks everyone.. every single one of you helped me more than you know.

Curse this horrid heat!!! I could have gone through the whole day with very nutritious food in my belly and not much carbohydrates fattening up my body, but no! The hot, sweaty stickyness and depressing feeling of hopelessness and exhaustion drove me mad, causing me to spend around 15min scooping Dreyer's cookies &cream into my mouth continuously. *sigh* So much for going back to school as a whole new person ha.. Oh, well. I do feel better though (well besides the dreadful daunting thoughts of my thighs and tummy!!!); my mom finally decided to turn on the air conditioning! So here I am, alone in my room, dancing (well, I was dancing) to a punk rock band (I know, weird huh?) called Count the Stars while simaltaneously popping bruised grapes into my mouth (I know, I might choke and/or get an inflated appendix. Leave me alone, mommy!). Which reminds me, I must thank Vy (aka Wei.. aka Andy.. aka Vivian lol ;D) for burning me seven CDs! They're all awesome.. have you guys heard of these bands:
1. Counting the Stars (like I said, it's a punk rock band)
2. Nickleback (I expect all of you to know that rock band. They're so frickin awesome)
3. Blink 182 (the new CD.. which is supposedly their best CD or something)
4. Devotion (they remind me of the early RNB during the 90s.. too bad RNB is totally dead now *well at least to me* because of people like Ashanti and Brandy. Anyways, Devotion's a phillipino boy band lol they're very very good)
5. Rap/RNB CD (hey, I might like rap.. some day.. hahaha)
6. Usher (yes, that CD that everyone's crazy about)
7. BBMak (YES!!! That's all I have to say. You rock, Vy haha)
I'm so scared.. I don't want school to start. I don't want summer to end =( =( =(

I just realized.. I still have maybe a hundred more pictures left that I took on my vacation. Haha bleh I've been to lazy to get to it.. but I guess I should soon, because I highly doubt that I'll have time to do that fun/carefree stuff once school begins for me (which is this Thursday). However, there is still the problem of my unfinished AP HW and the fact that I only have 4 whole days left to finish-- AHH!!!! I'm also going through a lot of mood swings.. mostly depression. I hate PMS.. I'd rather have cramps :P
I LOVE JESUS!!! Yes, I'm like that.

[31 Aug 2004|12:45pm] |
My Schedule
1. Viva Cantar -- Halop
2. Calculus -- Trank
3. AP US History -- Keith
4. AP Physics -- Olivares, J
5. H European Literature -- Emery
6. French 2 -- Silberman
If any of you are in my class, please please please leave a comment telling me :) If you don't have a livejournal, you can still leave a message, but be sure to leave your name! So far, Christina Ho's in my calculus class.. and that's all I've got right now haha so yeah, PLEASE tell me, because I want as many good things that I can look forward to before I start my junior year of high school :(
The bad thing about having six classes instead of eight is that I don't have any fun classes to balance out my day.. where's my debate team to keep things carefree and chipper? Where's my dance class to keep me "in shape" as I make a fool as myself (which is FUN)? Ugh.. so basically, my only fun class is chorus (viva cantar).. haha I am really going to hate even days, though; I'm going to have Calculus, then AP Phsycis, and then french!! AHHHH!!!! I do, however, find it interesting that I'm going to have english and history on the SAME DAY.. right after one another! Ha as much as I hate to say it, I'm sort of excited for school to start :x

| I HATE |
[30 Aug 2004|06:45pm] |
Okay, I felt confident that I could handle two AP classes. I was confident that I could handle two other weighted classes. I was confident that I could still handle four hours of community service every Sunday morning. I was confident that I could handle another year of debate team, even though I'm supposed to be the vice president of it this year.
BUT
starting next Saturday all the way until December, I will be spending 6 (yes, 6) hours at a SAT prep class. How the HECK am I supposed to get through next year without failing all of my classes and being hopsitalized from having too many MENTAL BREAKDOWNS?!?!!?
To top it all off, I'm not doing too well. I haven't been doing too well for quite some time, but I was just really good at focusing on the good things. I guess I'm PMSing.. cus I can always count on RAGING FEMALE HORMONES to just drag out all the sh** that's going on in my life and blow it up right in front of my pudgy face!!! I'm also going through some identity crisis or something.. where I'm basically questioning everything and constantly feeling out of place and BAHH!!!! Each time it feels more and more like I'm standing in a room filled with all of my friends and I'm just screaming at the top of my lungs and no one even realizes and continues on chatting away while I wail and bawl and sob and thrash!!! (yes, I stole that from Titanic. BITE ME, BIOTCHES! hm.. speaking of Titanic, I want to watch it now)
Oh great. And tomorrow's school picture day and the skin around my mouth hasn't stopped peeling and flaking yet!!! Honestly, all the things that used to make me happy are gone. It's like they got swept away by the ocean or something (THAT SO MADE SENSE)! Well there's still a couple of things/people that make me happy but still AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

| Pet Peeves / BUSH??? |
[29 Aug 2004|05:15pm] |
My Pet Peeves:
1. Asking someone a question without getting a direct answer. I especially hate it when someone answers my question with their own question, and not even bothering to acknowledge the fact that I asked the question first!!!
2. People who talk really quietly. I know some people are just shy, but GOLLY, sometimes I'm just not in the mood to strain my ears to hear something that probably has no importance at all!
3. Hypocrites. Of course, I'm a walking contradiction (how many times have I called myself that before??), but really, folks... I do try my best not to be a hypocrite. Take into consideration what you're saying, and if you suddenly change your mind about maybe, say, a shirt that you previously hated, be prepared for some glares if you go out and buy it.
4. People who ridicule/look down upon others. For instance, don't descriminate another person for his/her religion; you don't know what his/her religion is like (and no, things you "heard" about that religion doesn't count.. so stop picking on mormons, people!).
5. George W. Bush. Yes, he is a pet peeve. He says he's very conservative, but have his actions shown that? I don't think going to war at the risk of hundreds of thousands of lives is conservative. I don't think lying about there being "weapons of mass destruction" very conservative. The only conservative thing about him is his stubborn refusal to approve gay marriage.. but how many people can you name on both the republican and democratic side who actually support it? Plus, he doesn't even support civil unions, whereas Kerry at least supports that. Also, there's the fact that our economy is way down, hundreds (or was it thousands?) of people have lost beneficial insurances, and his mistakes have been huge and fatal for many. (Btw, I don't really care about whether or not he's a liberal or a conservative.. I do care that he's leading our country in the wrong direction!!!!)
6. Money. Stupid money. I mean, I love money. But still. BRA;WKJFE;
lalallaa i forgot the rest of my list; oh well. Hey, did you know that even though Kerry, Bush, and Cheney attended Yale, Bush graduated with a gentleman's C, Cheney basically flunked out, and Kerry graduated with flying colors, aaand as the president/captain of Yale's debate team?? Proud? Oh, you betcha.
I don't usually talk about politics.. but I saw Hillary Clinton speak today on Meet the Press; I can't wait 'til she runs for president :) Oh yeah, and sorry if I offended any republicans/Bush supporters.. haha but you have to admit, I'm definetely not the only person complaining about him!
OH YEAH! While in Washington D.C., I bought a pin that said "Drop Bush, Not Bombs," Ron bought a pin that said, "Friends don't let Friends Vote Republican," and just yesterday Julie gave me a pin that she bought in San Fransisco that says:
B_SH S_CKS
I'd like to buy a vowel, please.

[26 Aug 2004|10:52pm] |
Okay I went to Amy's pool party today.. thanks Amy :D
Basically we just swam around..
I got a tan!! But it came out bad.
While other people become "golden brown,"
I get like.. gray. Like I'm covered in dirt.
Oh well.. at least my tan lines aren't so noticable anymore.
Ainsley, Xtina, Julie and I complained for around more than an hour about our bodies :x
It was just a form of stress relief; nothing to get worried about.
It most likely won't happen again.
I ate a lot after our little conversation. Not a good combination.
The jacuzzi was going to burn my flesh off!
I ended up accidentally leaving my shirt there. Oops.
Today was very fun.
For some reason I keep getting flashbacks of Connecticut.
I love the east coast.. my school was pretty cool there, too.
It had like.. 7 floors.
It also snowed a lot.
I sometimes wish that I went to school there.. because that's how I always envisioned school.
A brick building with a lot of floors.
And snow.
Oh, well. I still love California.. and Northwood High :)
I don't know why I sound emo right now.
You know.. with all the really short (and annoying) sentences.
This won't happen again.
Oh, yeah.. and I'm getting tired of livejournal.
