Homecoming: The Recap

Okay I absolutely loved Homecoming. I wish there was another dance ASAP.

We started out the night by going to Buca di Beppo which was good but a bit anticlimactic and the service was sadly very slow. We took pictures near this turquoise wall which nobody would have guessed was the back side of a fast food shop though!

We got to the dance and there was a HUGE line outside. It took us almost an hour just to get in. The wait was comparable to that of Disneyland, minus the screaming toddlers. We get to the front and there are security guys frisking EVERYBODY down.... I felt as if I went to a ghetto school but I do understand that it is really for the best.

The dance itself started out a bit slow, but as the night went on I really let loose and had a ton of fun. The DJ was alright, but my date and my friends were awesome. We "danced" all night and I couldn't have imagined a better way to spend my first high school dance.

Afterwards we went to In-n-Out for some food and the night was over. I went back home and slept the night away. I was TIRED! Now I have two dance rehearsals (one for the dance show and one for a quincenera) AND homework to finish! I'm off!

HOMECOMING!

Tonight is Homecoming and I am pretty excited. I have a date and I am looking forward to my first real high school dance. Will it live up to my expectations? Will I be disappointed? Will I even know WHAT to do once I get there?

I'm going to Buca di Beppo for dinner then to school for the dance. Our theme is "Up, Up and Away" so we'll see if it's decorated to fit.

I'll try and remember to post my experience and write here more often!

I have plenty more to update you about but right now I must go and get ready!

You.

You were all I thought about. You were like that girl that I had those same feelings for two months ago. And she was like that girl I felt the same for a year ago.

A nonstop process. But why do I do this?

Maybe I like the idea of you. I like what we could become.

Why though? Why?

I need to find out why. Right now I feel like I care for you more than anything else, but isn't that how I felt for the last girl? I always feel this is special.

Right now I say this is the MOST special and the MOST I've cared for someone. But is it?

I say it is. I say this is different. Check back in a month.

Sorry

Sorry I haven't posted in awhile. I just feel nobody reads this and my life hasn't really been too interesting for awhile....

So we just started school and I really enjoy my schedule this year. I love Play Prod and Dance. IT seems like this year is gonna actually be fun, strange, huh?

That's all I can think about for now but I'll leave you, well me, with a question to ponder....

Why do I care what other people think? Why can't I be myself without worrying how people perceive me?

Goodbye July, Hello August

My July 2010 in Torrance, CA is winding to its fateful end. It feels like yesterday when that final bell rang and freshman year was over. Why does summer go by so fast? Well tomorrow I'm leaving for BSA Jamboree 2010.

For those of you who don't know what BSA stands for or don't know what their Jamboree is, then go Google it and educate yourself a little bit. Actually, since this is the age of laziness (well, for me anyways) I'll even give you a link: Click this if you want to be educated about the BSA Jamboree

Well now that you know what that is I can talk as if you are fellow BSers as I like to call it. We leave tomorrow at 11:55 PM and you can kill me now because I have to wear my uniform in the airport, on the plane, and everywhere else we go before we get to camp. But I know I'll love it (the tour, not the uniform).

I'm gonna see my grandpa who lives in NorCal and my Filipino family who lives back there. It's weird how my grandpa and I meet across the country when we live in the same state...

But this Jamboree is really important to me because I've invested over a year to this. I'm ASPL (ass-pull <--- not really) in Troop 819, which is Assistant Senior Patrol Leader. That means I don't have to be in a patrol and people get to cook for me. Basically, all I do is really "supervise". I hit you with a lot of BS lingo in there (BS stands for something appropriate, duh) so you better figure it out if you don't know BS well.

So once I get to jamboree I get to "supervise" and do whatever I want. There is literally billions of things to do there (look at the website!) so I'm expecting craziness. Anyplace that has over 35,000 boys at the same place is bound to get crazy... We'll see if I try anything adventurous like mountain boarding.... DOUBT IT, I can't even ride a skateboard, but the thought makes me laugh.

Then we come back (yes, in uniforms) and it's August. Sigh. And I'm missing my mom's 21st *cough*40th*cough* birthday along the way. So I gotta find a present. Maybe I'll make a card tomorrow while I'm at home before I leave. I actually think that's a good idea.

RANDOM MESSAGE: While typing, I am watching TV and I just saw an ad for the TV show "Shaq Vs." and he is competing against Justin Bieber!? Since when is Justin Bieber anything close to a competitive anything. Maybe he'll compete to have the best hair (Wait, Shaq already beats the swooshed bowl cut that Bieber dawns).

Welcome back to our scheduled programming, well we get to fly Virgin America back, so at least I get some kind of technology on my way back.

But I just wanna thank EVERYONE who made my trip to the BSA Jamboree possible. Mom, dad, scoutmasters.

That is all.

Hawaii and MORE!

Well I am back from Hawaii! And just for all those that are wondering (because I know you are!), I did not forget ANYTHING! That packing list really worked... but of course, I overpacked as always.

Well Hawaii went really amazing. It was all that I thought it was and MORE! Grace (my cousin, DUH!) made it 100000% better. I would've felt lonely without her, but she made it fun and I had some fun company.

Here is my HAWAII TOP TEN! (HTT :] )

10. Appreciating nature for real

9. Going to a REAL Hawaiian Luau

8. Having some bomb meals!

7. Outrigger canoeing and almost hitting surfers!

6. Parasailing near Waikiki!

5. Snorkeling at Hanauma Bay!

4. Spending time with my dad and Jennifer, and of course GRACE

3. Learning how to somehow surf

2. Going to the LOST beach!

.... and #1 at the end of the blog :]

More details later, hopefully.... but since you all know me personally, right? Go to my Facebook page soon for all these pictures! They'll be up soon!

One Last Message:

I try to have a 100% uplifting blog. I don't like to be a negative person, and if I am a negative person then I try to keep it to myself. I apologize for any rants on this page because I want to improve and somehow touch someones life out there. Far fetched, I know, but I try. I don't have anything against my friends who post EVERYTHING they feel, but it makes me sad. But I still love you guys, you know who you are!

AND MY NUMBER ONE IN THE HTT!

1. FINALLY GETTING TO HAWAII!

There you have it!
