When the truth is,
I miss you.
Yeah the truth is,
That I miss you so.

So lately, I've been hanging out with Eric and getting back into the tricking scene. I'm still bboying, but when I go to sessions it's usually to trick. My clothes from online came in! I'm so happy xP

2 weeks ago, (I think)I went to Argon High to trick with new people. It was fun, since Tony was there too. It was me, Eric, Christina, and Tony. Yee. Then we went to Vegas Studio only to find out it was closed for 4th of July Weekend ): It's okay, we had lots of fun. Then on 4th of July, I went to a party hosted by Eric since his family was in Washington. Boy was that fun, haha. There was dancing, video games, lots of talking, drinks, hookah, and just a whole bunch of fun times. Luckily, I didn't get fucked up at all, haha. I can't say the same about Harry, though. It's cool, we all had a fun time.

Yesterday I spent my whole day in San Francisco with Katherine, Alex, Yuling, Denise, Justine, and Brian Luong. I would upload pictures, but I left my camera in Katherine's purse xD. Anyway, we all met up at Great Mall around 8, except Denise cause she took a while ;D But it's okay! I was still sleepy, but eventually the company of people kept me awake. And of course Taylor Swift songs and Katherine beating me up.. -sigh- Umm tickets were kinda expensive (BART), but Katherine paid for me =X. Justine didn't know what to do, haha. Sucka. The BART ride was chill, and not crowded. Too bad none of us were paying attention, since we missed our stop by like 4 stops. T__T. So we had to get off and take it back, lol. When we finally got there, I was dying of hunger! But..we ended up just going to the bathroom and shopping right away. So many places! But what sucked the most was when we (as in the guys) had to wait for all the girls to shop in the 3 story F21 building. Man. Overall, everything was fun. Walking around, getting lunch, China Town, shopping; all of it. I ended up buying: Starbucks, a maroon jacket from American Apparel, and 2 pairs of jeans from Pac Sun. I still have a Westfield $25 girt card I need to use -__-. I'll never use it. Katherine didn't even buy anything that day, wtf! Oh well, she's just going to end up stealing my clothes anyway. Just..everything about yesterday went well, and I'm really happy I went. Next trip sometime before school starts! Well, at least for the Indy kids. ;D Oh yeah, I got jumped at night when walking home. HAH!

So today, I opened up my very own checking/saving's account at Bank of America. Hoorayyy! Now I can finally order my own stuff online, haha. Now, I have no secret stash of money in my house ): But it's okay. Eric took me! Fun stuff. After everthing was set up, we headed to San Mateo again for a trick session. Fuckk it was so hot. T__T. But it's okay, totally worth it. I just kept drilling my tricks to hopefully get them cleaner. I think it worked? I'm super tired now though. Man..these last few days have been crazy. God, on our way back from San Mateo we hit HELLA bad traffic on 101 South. It took us like an hour just to get to Stanford when it should've taken like 20 minutes or something. Horrible! Thank god I'm home now, what a long day. My package came in (: Just in time for tomorrow.

RIVE RAFTING IN SACRAMENTO ON SUNDAY! WOOT!

Like the title says, Katherine said I should blog so here we go!

Soo summer's been really cool lately! Hah, an oxymoron. Anyway, lately I've been frantically looking for a job. I've applied to places like the movie theaters, Target, Best Buy, West Coast Aquatics, and Pizza California. And...nothing. lol. I'm gonna start making calls like..soon. I have the phone ready! I really need to work because well, I need money. I need to pay for college, I need to pay for car insurance so I have legally drive, I need money for a phone and well, I need new clothes -__-.

Hm, I've been swimming a lot lately and I'm not as pale as I used to be! Woot! Katherine always makes fun of my white thighs T__T. Oh well, I love her (: So yeah, Katherine and I have been doing pretty well (: This month will make 5! I'm happy (:

My dad, step brother, and half sister came back from a 3-day trip to Reno/Lake Tahoe this morning. I didn't wanna go because the cousins I'm close with (Gina, Lisa, Daniel, Matt) weren't going, so ehh, no thanks. I wonder if my grandparents are upset, but I don't know. I'll give them a call tonight.

I've been bboying a lot recently. Like more than I did before. I can do things that I couldn't before, and It's really fun doing them with my best friends. I look up videos like everyday now, just to observe technique and dope sets. Yup yup, I love to dance! Dance and music, haha.

Well, that's all for now! I need a jobbbbbb!

For the most part, I'm never home. And when I am, I'm usually gaming or sleeping. So far, my summer mornings have been waking up at 9, calling to wake up Katherine, and then going back to sleep x] After that..whatever happens, happens. It's an okay routine, but it's hard sometimes because I go to bed around 3-4?

Saturday:
I woke up on one side of a coach, my best friend on the other side. This was Sunday morning. There was a sleepover at my friend Patrick's house, who goes to UCSD. He as well as other good friends are back, so a sleepover was nice. Ryan, Clarence, Me, Tony, Patrick, Pierre, Darrick, Tran, and Terry were all there. Tran didn't really sleep over, but she likes to say she did. Hmm, before actually going to Patrick's, Ryan and Clarence picked me up after returning from my Grandma's House in San Lorenzo. My grandparents as well as company from Holland are in staying at my Grandparents' house, so yeah. They juts got back from Seattle/Portland. Anyway, Ryan, Clarence and I went to this Japanese Udon place called Mitsu Ichi I think. It was really good. We all got something different, so we ended up juts sharing everything since it was a new place. After that, we went to Orange Tree which was a couple stores down anyway. After that we went to Patrick's =D. Uhh I didn't eat there since I was so full from before. But there was food and drinks, but mainly we just played Dota and CS the whole time. It was fun, even though it's all we did. xD Good thing I have a laptop now, or else I would've had to bring my desktop like I would use to have to T__T. That sucked. But hooray for mobility!

Sunday: Father's Day
Right when I got home on Sunday from Patrick's house, I immediately took a shower. My parents weren't home, so whatever I guess. I already had plans to go to Yuling's surprise pool party at Katherine's house, so I had to get ready for that. After I was done, it took forever to pack my shit because I had to bring Monopoly and somehow get it to fit in my backpack. That didn't work out so well, so I ended up using rubber bands to hold my backpack shut. Fun fun. So, I hauled ass on my vintage, yellow bike up to the party. I was kind of scared at first when I got there because her mom and brother were there too, but whatever. When I got there, pretty much everyone was there already. Rikko, Katherine, Yuling, Brian, Justine, Alex, Lynda were already eating, and I happened to be starving. Sooo yay! I dug in, but didn't eat much I guess. The bbq was really good! Anyway, we eventually went swimming and hot tubbing. I beat Katherine in a 50 breast race =D Bwahhaa. I'm not even a swimmer. :] 3 hours later after the party started, people left to pick up Lynda's best friend, Shazeen? Something like that. Eventually JM came since he had to work that day. Rikko and I cooked the steak and I think it turned out okay o_o. Maybe other people will say otherwise, haha. I was the last one to leave, and I really had fun. I was really tired though >_>. So, I biked home, went online, talked to Katherine and went to bed around 1. Yay summer.

Today (Monday):
I woke up today at nine to wake up my girlfriend again, nothing new there. haha. We talked for a bit and she kept insisting that I go back to sleep -__-. Forget that, though. >:O Katherine's working hella long today, so I don't even get to talk to her. She has 1 break, and today I missed her call because I had just got in the shower -__-. Fuck my life. I'm actually really sad right now, haha. Baby I miss you! Well, now I need to do something until 7, when she gets home. -sigh- Maybe I'll run or something. Oh yeah, today I had to put a system restore on my laptop because something fucked it up, haha. It was all..really laggy and slow. Already, damn. But yeah, that's my weekend and my day so far.

Japan or Europe next year? Hmm.

Finally, senior year is coming to an end. Holy shit, it's June 1st. Last week, I experienced more "lasts." Last week was my last IHS rally and my last high school concert. Both went really well in my opinion, so I was happy. Now, we're really on that last home stretch to completing high school. 4 more days left of high school + graduation.

I have mixed feelings so far about the beginning of the end. I mean, of course graduation is really sad and everyone is going their separate ways, but there are some aspects of high school I just can't wait to leave behind. Bullshit, drama, heartache, and loss are things I can care less of and can't wait to put behind me. Fuck you, for wasting my time. Things like you make me so happy to leave high school. I get a new start somewhere else, and I won't ever (hopefully) have to put up with bullshit like you ever again.

However, the other side of the coin involves everything I've been in and the new people I've met. Wind ensemble, track and field, and just in general getting closer to friends. Mr. P talked about how lucky he was to have such a high caliber band this year, and I feel the same way. There's that vibe that you can feel when you're playing in that band, and it's something that I'm going to miss for sure. Like he said, I won't ever be playing with the same group ever ever again. But really, thanks guys. For a great year, for everything.
Track. I've obviously met hella new people, and some of them I can now call my close friends. Pole vaulting was crazy this year, and I can't believe I got where I got since I was coaching. My guys, I'm so proud, haha. No homo. But yeah, we're not league champs and moving up to A league, so really. GOOD LUCK NEXT YEAR! And get ready to step up your game.
Shannon, Alex, Chris, Elvis, Jenny, Chau, Lucas, Monica, Melissa, Rikko, Vanessa: You are all people that I've really grown to this year, and I'm really glad to have met you, or in some cases just get closer. It's people like you that make me sad for leaving high school.
So Saturday I spent my day/night at the Mount Pleasant CVC Banquet. It was really nice hanging with my best friend and all my other Mount Pleasant friends. (: We swam, played Badminton, dug through trash to find bottles, and so much more! Haha. It was really nice to see everyone. Anyway, after that a bunch of us went back to Cuong's house. Darrick, Pierre, Ryan, Tran, Me, Dustin, Chi, Cuong and Micheal (obviously) were all there. We spent our time breaking, playing basketball, playing cards and OMGPOP.com. Texas Hold 'em was pretty fun. I found out that Darrick and Ryan really love to bluff. -__-. I gotta work on that. But anyway, I got 2nd place which meant that I got to keep my money xD We all crashed around 5am, which was fucking crazy! And when we finally tried sleeping, the fucking cock (rooster) would keep making noises across the street. We fit 3 to a bed ;D Me, Ryan, Darrick. Again, no homo. But yeah, I missed hanging out with everyone, especially since we're all always busy.

GRADUATION is next week on June 10 @ the IHS Stadium. You should come watch me graduate. That would be dope. (: Anyway, that's all for my..senior year blog. PACE.

Soo. Track is finally over! No more pole vaulting in high school. So I made it to BVAL (technically) but ended up not being able to compete for some bs reasons. Yesterday was a really shitty day but ended up okay. It was exciting and kind of fun in the end, haha. Congrats to Elvis who made it to BVAL and now CCS. I'm so proud, I coached him! YEAH.

So today was my very last CMEA in Gilroy. It was so hot! T__T I was dying. Well, sort of. Our symphonic band was up first, and I was kind of scared of what I heard. >_> Out of tune, uncertainties, bleh. But whatever, we have a lot of strong wind ensemble players for years to come. We played Exultate (Pronounced Ex-ul-tat-aye), Sleep, and Danza 2. To be honest, all three songs were pretty damn good. I MESSED UP IN SLEEP, BUT HOPEFULLY THE JUDGES WON'T CALL ME OUT ON IT. D: I came in a measure early. Oh well! Mr P. cried during Sleep, which kind of made me want to also. But I didn't, although I got really into the music. Finally, the site reading. We played some kind of dance..and I think it was pretty easy. Our adjudicator gave a lot of positive feedback which made me happy.

Edit: I love wind ensemble so much; I feel like a band geek. But really, we do have something really special and I will always remember it. EXULTATE RUNS WERE SO CLEAN, and Sleep was so epic. It's my last CMEA! And things are starting to hit me hard. I can't believe I'm going through my "lasts" as a senior. Holy shit.

I hella miss marching band/winter perc.

So this year, I'm finally back into track. We're in B League, but that's okay! We've competed against Westmont, Live Oak, and Del Mar. Varsity boys are 3-0. Wooot. I really hope we go to state this year. As for my events, I'm in the 4x400 relay, the 300m hurdles (I think I'm still running it), the 400 (I'm considering) and pole vault. I'm the best pole vaulter on the team, so it's a lot of pressure. We have no coach this year, so I'm doing my best to coach it. But it's really cool because of the interest level of it this year. We have soo many people, so it's good to bring it back. I ended up cracking the tip (It's called a butt plug, LOL) of the pole and it shattered, so now we're stuck sharing one long...brown...pole. haha. It sucks, but Coach Holleman ordered new tips for us! Yess. now that powderpuff's over (SENIORS WON; CHEERLEADING AND FOOTBALL), I can concentrate on track. This week was crazy, but memorable. Unfortunately, it left me kinda of sick and really really sore. Not to mention hella tired, but hey! It's the weekend now, thank god. Monday I'll be going to PHHS to vault, and I'll be taking Elvis and Brian with me, hopefully. They're my best little...minions I guess haha. We'll see, we've still got about 2 months left of track. I've met a lot of cool people, too! Chau, Trang, Elvis, Patrick, Lien! They're all pretty cool, haha. PIEDMONT MEET NEXT THURSDAY. I can't wait >:] That's gonna be fun, haha. Lots of people that I know. Well that's all for now (:

There's only 1 thing, to do, three words, for you!

Going into day 1 of senior year I already had this mind set to do well. As time progressed, the mind set was still there, now the 1st semester is over with with about 5 more months left of school. I did really well this first semester, so I hope I keep it up for this final one. It seemed really long, but I think it passed by quickly. Now's the time I guess where people really get lazy, so I'll make sure not to. January's kind of almost over..leaving about 4 months of school. I'm so happy I don't have to partake in STAR testing this year, haha. I get to come to school so much later than usual. Awesome! I was talking to Jay a little while ago and dang. We're almost done with high school! I can't wait to get out, hah. I just want to leave it all behind and start college. Speaking of which, I'm praying I get into Davis :| Even though all of the UC's were overfilled and budget cuts are screwing over everybody. But..I still try to stay positive. Lately it's been pretty hard to see the good side of things, but I think I'll manage just doing what I've been doing.
Powderpuff starts tomorrow...2 hours of practice pretty much every Tuesday and Thursday. We better win this year! It's really hard trying to keep myself busy and passing the time, so I guess this'll be good for me. You probably don't know what I'm talking about when I say this, but:
I've decided to wait it out and see what happens. This'll turn into a 1-year thing anyways I guess. Not much I can really do, but I'm here.

Yeah. These last 2 few weeks have been really..shitty I guess. It's had its peaks..but more bad than good. -sigh- But yeah..pretty soon we're picking up our caps and gowns. Or you know, getting measured for them. Crazy thought. My mind's a mess right now, so I'll continue this later or something. om

Alas, Junior year, the hardest year of high school, is coming to an end. Around this time 2 years ago, I would be celebrating. The celebrations do continue, but at the same time there is sadtimes. Most of my closests friends are either Seniors or do not go to Independence. Next year's going to be sooo different. I guess I should've made more junior friends -___-" Senior year already, last year in high school. Time flies so much. This year went a lot faster I thought it would, actually. It goes all the way back from Summer of '07 in band camp all the way to the Ren Faire that was on Thursday. Just like that, all in an instant.

So senior prank this year was pretty lame >_> but whatever. Still a "prank" And now if someone falls on the senior stage during a performance, they have a huge smiley face looking up at them, lol. I haven't gotten many reviews on Senior Prom, but I'm guessing it was cool o_o. And noww...Tuesday's my final concert for Orch/WE. Fuck fuck fuck. I can't believe everyone's leaving. This really sucks. But I guess it's just time to step up and take charge.

Oh shit, I need more people to sign my yearbook o_o. If you haven't signed it yet, please do. Haha.
That's all for now.

So yesterday was Mount Pleasant's CVC Production Night! WEWT. Chris picked me up, along with Adam. It was pretty sweet.

I really liked the performances! Well, most of them. Some were just like..weird, but whatever! Props to Patrick for putting all this stuff together, really. Oh! I even helped with them, and Mr. Dang thought I was part of CVC. Next year, i'm going to try and be a part of CVC, and actually be IN it. As long as I make the practices and stuff. Clarence's "Slap Dance" was pretty funny and went well. The MC's were pretty funny too. haha.

So I bought a rose for both of them because after a performance, you usually see all these people running up and giving people roses; usually a bf/gf. I went and bought them, and the girl selling was like, "what color?"
"uhh red I guess"
"aww, you know red means I love you right?"
"Oh well, these are for my best friends, and I do love them"
Sooo the last performance or whatever was "prom" and everyone was all dressed up! So when Clarence came out I ran and gave him roses! Too bad some girl beat me to him >_>. But yeah, really good job.

Ashley Roth! Tango. Very nice. haha. It looked pretty good (:

OMG. The Girl secret dance was...the Wonder Girls' "Tell Me" Dance! LOLOL. Oh god.

After cleaning up (which took a long time) we all headed to Denny's! Why is it always Dennys? Anyway, I met some pretty cool people like Kim and Stacy! It took us forever to get our orders, but it's okay. Chris paid for me =D. Oh god, so on our way Ben pretty much owned himself trying to park, good stuff.

Clarence, Patrick, Jovill, and one of the Mc's (Forgot his name) were playing the sugar game! Where you flick the sugar packet across the table and yeah, you know. haha. Well, eventually they played with this SUPER hot sauce! Intense game.

After Denny's we all headed home. Turns out Chris and Adam couldn't stay over, and Ben just went home. We were supposed to DOTA, but we all passed out. GG.

Hm? What's that I smell? No sleep? Yeah, sounds about right. Holy fuck I have shit load's of homework. Double study guide, Winchester Bullshit all over the place, Prelab....fuck me. -sigh- Oh well, Friday tomorrow. ZOMG CVC's Night Production! I can't wait! WEWT. So here I am, next to my open window, cereal in hand (more like spoon) ready to stay up. -sigh- It's pretty cold actually!

So after school I actually got a chance to chill with JR Imperial and Bernard Sapitola! Lots of fun, laughing about anything and everything. Good stuff. I straightened my hair for tomorrowww! Yay. Okay, homework time, forreals.

..Not really. Blackie's sick ): Soo..I need to find a ride. So far, no luck. No moneys for the bus either. This sucks. I don't know how I'm getting to school. -sigh- GG.

So I was looking through some stuff, and found these!
















Yeah, he's my bestfriend.

Hey, I miss Champs.
