Hey guys! I'm back from vacation and I have two major events to blog about. My graduation and my vacation. I'll share my vacation first since I kept a nikki (diary for those of you who don't know. Mirai Nikki reference =P) all throughout. I want to upload it from my phone to this blog but coming up with this web page on my phone took forever. My thoughts, added stuff, translations, etc. are in italics =) Also, I'll break it up if the entry begins to get too long =P I realized that Day 3 is HUGE. Anyway, here goes!
Day 1 - jun28
12:15pm (Minneapolis time)
It's like fucking Mission Mexico! Exact same gate and a chili's too! With a 1hr wait in between the connecting flights xD
McD's has better kids meal toys =_=
Day 2 - jun29
9:25am (Orlando time)
Too hot. My mom made me wear sneakers :( Still so full from last night's dinner at Texas de Brazil @@! Sleeping was okay. Putol-putol (choppy in Tagalog) since it was hot and I was wearing only undies and a shirt :/ boooooo.
Man, I miss school so much already (it seems) that I even had a dream about it and how a normal day is like ._. Also, I was singing our grad song in the taxi on the way back from the restaurant and I started tearing up. I cried abit but not that much but I was still really sad.
wtf @ R. Calling me while I'm here. arghh
11:45am
Our first ride was Terminator 2. Not really a ride but more of a 3d experience. It was pretty fun :)
Oops. I forgot to write throughout this whole thing that we went to Universal Studios in Florida. ^^;;
1:25pm
Krustyland and MIB Alien Attack followed. Luckily for us, the lines aren't that long. Krustyland was similar to T2 except not 3d and the kart moved more. MIB was like the Disneyland Toy Story ride [in Hong Kong] where you get on a kart and shoot stuff :p I prevailed with 172k points xD Now in line for Jaws. We had some turkey leg and lots to drink. It's actually really hot. I hope to change later on into a spaghetti strap @@
1:42pm
Okay, it's been less than 20mins but I just HAVE to write this. Okay so in Math 12, I learned about sine and cosine waves. Now, the line in the inner area of Jaws does that snakey thing, to try and get as many people stuck in live/space/etc., and my brother pointed out that we only did one round and the first thought to come to my mind was "omg. He's right! We just went through one sine wave." Then, I thought of how there's the "30mins from here" sign to indicate the wait time from a specific point in the line and began wondering that maybe, by using sine waves and trigonometry, that that's how they calculated it. Then I started wondering how long it took us to get through one "sine wave" in this line and thought of the pi/period/b formula and the graph outline for a formula for a modified sine wave -____- Wow.
4:44pm
Now we're on the other side, the Island of Adventures and we're lining up for the newest and main attraction: Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey. It says 90 minute wait n_n I sure do hope that it isn't! I was just outside a minute ago but now I'm in.
5:44pm
wooh. Just got out. It was pretty sweet but could have been better. But still pretty good. The whole wait though was amazing in itself. The inside of the castle was amazing, astounding, outrageous and very detailed. It was sooo beautiful and like, everything was just crazy! I loooooooove the inside. I wish I could have taken a picture but it's okay. The Hogwarts castle is something I definitely won't forget. <3
7:51pm
Dinner time! We pretty much went through all that we wanted to so my fam is good. Painful feet but it was fun, nonetheless. The Spider-man ride was pretty good. Similar to the HP one except it had some 3d stuff :) I bought a Hulk doll and Hulk keychain cause it was sooo cute! I'll give RdC the Hulk keychain since she has "HULKmode" moments :P I also got to see NBA City Restaurant earlier. My kuya bought me a wristband w/ Kobe's jersey. I'll end up using it as an accessory. I was planning to give it to a youth fam member but my bro paid for the wristband so I better not. Oh! And after HP, we got some Butterbeer xD It was REALLY sweet but what do you expect? It's butterscotch based :p Now, we be eating at Latin Quarter Restaurant. I hope it's yummy!

Wow..seriously?! I'm such a pig =__=
Okay so Saturday..I had like, 3 birthday parties to attend =_= Then today, I went to eat at Thai Garden with my fam after watching the NBA playoffs ._. Sad LA lost but they'll come back in home court! =D So here's a debriefing of Saturday:
Lunch: All-You-Can-Eat @ Kingsway Sushi [12-2PM]
WOW. All you can eat Japanese overload much?! Crazyyyyyy! It was a birthday party for these two little cute kiddies. Two sisters, one turned 6 and the other turned 4. SOOO cute! x) Their birthday cake was to die for. The parents got it from this cupcake place so yeah. Cream cheese frosting in between and a perfect buttercream frosting. Normally, I hate buttercream icing/frosting cause it's too heavy and think and just gross =/ But this time, it was perrrrrrfect!
Dinner: Home party @ Surrey [7-8:30PM]
Okay so this one was pretty boring =( I didn't eat that much since I was still so full from the day before AND lunch @_@ Also, I wasn't too fond of their family because they kinda seem nosy to me =/ I just really wanted to get out. Luckily, my youth fam bam saved me just in time! Thanks to my dad for being so nice about it =)
Late night: Home party @ Langley [9:30-11:30PM]
One of my youth fam had her birthday last week and we went to her house and celebrated along with her family. We were pretty late but we still managed to be there and not be TOO late. We bought 20 ice cream sandwiches and 20 candles and then we stacked them in a pyramid of 6,5,4,3,2 and yeah. Douche cake apparently o_O But yeah, it was fun =)
Late LAATE night: Boston Pizza's @ Surrey [11:30PM-1:15PM]
We left her house with everyone that came and met up with this other guy at BP's. Apparently, he was really hungry so yeah. Not many people ate. L beside me bought some Pizza Bread. C to L's right bought some NY style cheesecake with raspberry sauce. Yum yum. Had a bite of it =P Then N (the hungry guy) had some Chicken Thai Bites and some pasta dish. RdC had something...totally didn't pay attention and then R had some Apple Crisp dessert. Anyway, while they were eating, W and I were playing Jenga. It got pretty heated. Like, we had 4 or 5 single blocks in a row n_n It was funny too cause I used my long nails to hammer at some blocks wahahhahaha. Then it fell on him. We played again with 3 people this time and the tower collapsed on W. H and I won =D
And yeah. C drove me home. Poor dude was so tired that he wasn't tired at all @_@; I owe him big time. In any case, I'll give profiles of my friends in a post sooner or later =) They're all very cool people!

LXVI
Okay so another update. FINALLY. hahaha. This will be about my debut which was my 18th birthday party. So here's some background information:
It's a Filipino tradition that when a girl turns 18, she celebrates it with a HUUUGE party. So big that it's comparable to a wedding, but still not quite as big but you get the gist right? There is the debutante, which was me, and I had an escort to follow me around for most of the night. It can be a boyfriend or a close friend or a cousin. It just has to be a guy hahaha. Anyway, there are two mandatory components to this party and it is the 18 Candles and the 18 Roses. The 18 Candles are the Debutante's closest relatives, friends, Godmothers and aunts and just really close ladies in general who will give her some words of advice or say something about her. The 18 Roses are the 18 special guys in her life whether it be friends, cousins, family, schoolmates, etc. who dance with her and they symbolize how they're going to protect her and whatnot. Yaget? Also, the father has to be the first dance in the 18 roses and the escort is the last. That is a MUST. Anyway, another component, that isn't as mandatory but still pretty important, is the Cotillion. The traditional cotillion is composed of 9 pairs. The debutante and her escort and 8 pairs of her closest guy and girl friends. These people are also included in her 18 Roses and 18 Candles. They are also the participants closer to the debutante's age, obviously =P Aaand I think that's it for the background info =) Now, here's my experiences for that day!
Morning 8-12ish
--> church
--> Pathfinder investiture
--> boring
--> getting nervous because we should've been at the make-up by then @_@
--> shower! hahaha
Afternoon 1-3ish
--> hair + make-up @ Gii Bii Studio
--> going back home to fetch the clothes
--> freaking out because the event was starting soon
--> calling people to check if they're ready or not
Pre-part 4-6
--> more calling people to see if they're making their way to the location
--> freaking out over decorations, last minute arrangements
--> trying to practice but everyone never really came on time
PARTYYY 7-1030
--> fun
--> stressful
--> unforgettable
--> LOVED the decorations. so simple..well kind-of. LOTS of balloons for sure x)
--> escort = doki doki
--> no crying though =_= I thought that the parent speech was going to make me sad but noOoOoOOOOOoo
--> 18 Candles = funny. one really LOOONG speech by this older lady. my Godmother repeated "Don't do what other teenagers are doing" like..3 times LOL
--> 18 Roses = @___@;; my dress kept on going down T_T; it got so bad that you could see the tops of my fake boobies xD;;
--> escort dance/waltz = worse but not AS bad. he was so sweet as to pull it up for me and I felt so safe in his arms ><
--> didn't get to eat much though I heard the food was great
--> youth singing = closest I got to crying
--> opening vid = so cute xD I'll never forget it
--> so many people came @_@
--> cotillion was totes hilair xD despite messing up quite abit, it was really fun =)
--> over-all just really fun ^__^
After party 11-1245
--> dancing was fun!
--> music wasn't the best though
--> downed a shot or two but didn't affect me that much
--> LOTS of dancing
--> my escorts fam stayed the latest in terms of guests (till 1245AM ish)
--> all we did was dance xD
--> lots of misleading pictures out there n_n;
--> yeah, just lots of dancing
--> dancing circle thingy going on =P
After all was said and done... 1-4
--> my escort phoned me and we just talked. and talked and talked till around 4AM haha
--> opened presents (going to post a picture up later when I find the camera =__=)
--> yeeep. =)
So yeah. Over-all, the party went REALLY well. Even though not everything that we wanted to happen happen, everything was just great. Most people wouldn't have noticed otherwise anyway since they don't know about it. It was definitely a night to remember for me and I'm still feeling the rush =P It's been 2 weeks already but I'm still all giddy and happy about it xD! Weeeeee. The stress and frustrations was definitely worth it =)
I don't actually have any photos myself. They're all from other people =( I stole a few both will only post two. Uhm, yes. My entrance dress is the yellow one and my dance/18 Roses dress is the black one (ewww. arm fat). Just some pics w/ my escort hehe.
Yepperz! =) And that's my summary.
In other news...
I'm following the NBA Playoffs 2010. I knew the Celtics would win the Eastern Conference Finals against Magic =P Now, to wait for the Lakers to close up their series tomorrow against the Suns and we're off for the Finals!!! I'm so stoked. It'll be so epic hehehehe.

So it's been around three weeks since my last post and I'm sorry I haven't been updating lately. It's just that it's report card week and we're alll trying to make up for what we're missing in our classes and whatnot. PLUS planning for my birthday party has just been such a drag.
I said I would post about my trip to Mexico and here goes! I will start by posting links to alllll the photos that I took:
Mish Mex 2010 [i]
Mish Mex 2010 [ii]
Mish Mex 2010 [iii]
Mish Mex 2010 [iv]
I set my albums so that they would be viewable by the public. =) Anyway, here's the run-down, day by day.
March 14th, 2010
At around 12:00AM, I'm just chilling at home, waiting for 1:00AM to come so we can leave xD Flight is at 6:30AM or something like that and we had to be at the airport by 3-3:30AM. So yeah, get there. First person there was Carvy. I was next then people started trickling in. We were all either really sleepy or really hyped. Fun stuff. Checked in, looong line-up since there was 21 of us. Then the next thing you know, you're on the plane O_O Time passes by really quickly in airports. So we get on and we fly to Tacoma, Seattle airport. Didn't sleep in that one at all since it was only a 1hour flight. Just to let you know... NEVER FLY ALASKA AIRLINES. SUCH BAD LANDING SKILLS >:( Okay anyway, we were at the Seattle airport for about 2hours or so. My best friend, Maria, and I decide to eat breakfast and where else better than at Chili's! It wasn't the real deal though. It was called "Chili's too". Like, wtf <_<; In any case, we had big breakfasts. I should have a picture somewhere in there =p And theeeeeen, another airplane ride going to Phoenix. Slept in that one. Couldn't take it anymore @_@ I was sleeping soo soundly but then the landing was SO crappy that it woke me up and made me jump in my seat. Literally =_= And theeen, after getting our luggage and stuff sorted out, we went on the bus for a 12hr bus ride to Tesopaco, Mexico! It wasn't super hot in Phoenix. It was bearable heat. But then again, I was only outside for a maybe 30minutes or so. Stop over at some fast food places for lunch/dinner. Obviously, I was still on the hunt for churros at this time so I was searching but found none. However, Maria and I found out that you can get 1 large meal and a sandwich at Burger King for $12. And by large, I mean LARGE. The drinks were HUUUGE and the sandwiches were even huger. @_@ Anyway, so we were on the bus for 11-13 hours. The Mexican border was so ghetto. Nothing special at all. It's like...I don't know how to describe it. I should have a picture in there. Anyway, going into Mexico itself was like going back to the Philippines' ghetto area. It wasn't that surprising for me psh. And yeah. 11-13 hours. When it was dark, the bus driver turned off the lights, left little blue night lights on and he seemed to have turned up the AC =_= It was SOO cold D: but my feet were sweating all at the same time. Strange eh. People were starting to say that the bus driver turned in on for fun LOL. At times when people couldn't sleep, we pulled out the gee-tar and jammed. Sang and had some fun =) Got to Tesopaco at around 2:30AM. Set up our sleeping quarters and slept =)
March 15th, 2010
Due to the cold of the bus, I got a wee bit sick. Woke up at 8AM for breakfast and I was doing worship that day so I just re-used my sermon about food and serving God. Breakfast was pancakes, fruit and some kinda porridge. I don't like porridge so def didn't touch that. Pancakes was okay. After breakfast, we separated into construction and Vacation Bible School groups. I was in VBS so we went into a room to prep for that. I couldn't handle it though cause I was too sick. My eyes were glossy and I was still really sleepy so the teachers told me to sleep. So I slept and slept, then woke up, helped out with VBS, then it was lunch! I forgot what it was but it was really good :D After that, more VBS prep and then off to a little town called "La Estrella" for VBS for the kids there. I was in charge of crafts. Totes def not fun. It was hard communicating with the kids due to the language barrier but most of them understood. We didn't really get to finish it the way it's supposed to look but it's okay. I tried out some basic Spanish words that I knew on the bus ride there on one of the teachers of the school that we were staying at. I was asking her age and said "Tos numeros?" Which means "Your number?" LOL. Then I had to ask my classmate Yaya how to ask for someone's age and she told me "Tos anos?" And yeah. Good stuff. I kept asking Sergio, the son of the principal who owned the school we were staying at, how to say lots of things in Spanish. Fun times. Then we went back, had dinner which was awesome as well :D Worship, then we switched people for VBS. Showered, Maria and I showered together ;D, got clean and talked to my mom and big brother on Skype. While the principal was in the room, my brother asked if I could bring back a bottle of tequila. Talk about awk. Anyway, bed time!
Holy crap, there's so much to write. MORE TO COME TMRW. I'm hoping to do two days per post per day x) Yeah. =)
In other news...
PLAYOFFS ARE STARTING!!!
In NBA 2010, I'm obviously rooting for LA Lakers but Denver Nuggets will be in my hearts. Yay Carmelo Anthony (leading scorer I believe) and Chauncey "Mr. Big Shot" Billups. I read a bio on Billups and that began my interest in him. He's called Mr. Big Shot cause he takes those impossible-seeming shots that not many would dare to take and he gets it in. Something like that. =P
LA Lakers are against Oklahoma Thunder and they're currently at a 2-1 series with Lakers leading. Anyway, go Lakers! Haha x)
In NHL 2010, go Canucks! I'm not a big hockey enthusiast but as a Vancouverite, I must share the same faith and enthusiasm that other Vancouver Canucks fans share haha. Screw LA Kings for using "I believe" or "believe" in their cheering for their team. Vancouverites should have copyrighted that or something since I remember hearing that being used even way before the winter olympics. Yeah?
Series right now is...well, I don't know but I think they're tied. o: Good luck Canucks!

PLAYOFFS ARE STARTING!!!
In NBA 2010, I'm obviously rooting for LA Lakers but Denver Nuggets will be in my hearts. Yay Carmelo Anthony (leading scorer I believe) and Chauncey "Mr. Big Shot" Billups. I read a bio on Billups and that began my interest in him. He's called Mr. Big Shot cause he takes those impossible-seeming shots that not many would dare to take and he gets it in. Something like that. =P
LA Lakers are against Oklahoma Thunder and they're currently at a 2-1 series with Lakers leading. Anyway, go Lakers! Haha x)
In NHL 2010, go Canucks! I'm not a big hockey enthusiast but as a Vancouverite, I must share the same faith and enthusiasm that other Vancouver Canucks fans share haha. Screw LA Kings for using "I believe" or "believe" in their cheering for their team. Vancouverites should have copyrighted that or something since I remember hearing that being used even way before the winter olympics. Yeah?
Series right now is...well, I don't know but I think they're tied. o: Good luck Canucks!

Spring break already! One week of happiness. Then next week is Mission Mexico!
My plans for Spring Break so far:
Monday - UBC with Ivan
Tuesday - Photoshoot with Harvey
Wednesday - UBC with Ivan in the daytime, Cotillion Practice at night
Thursday - none
Friday - UBC with Ivan
Somewhere in there, I'll be packing for Mission Mexico, working on my UBC Supplemental Application and working on my sermon. Definitely not Monday night (which is tonight) though =P
Mission Mexico is a mission trip that has been in constant planning and fundraising for the past two years. It's a week-long trip where students from my school along with some adults go to Tesopaco, Sonora, Mexico and build schools, teach basic English and tell people about the love of God. We're going there for a week and I'm excited and nervous. I've been to trips without my parents before and with some of my classmates but it's Mexico! They said that it's pretty dangerous. I'm scared but I know that God will protect me so I just have to pray and trust Him.
Yesterday was Sportsfest hosted by our church at an Adventist school. We played volleyball, watched the guys play basketball and eat good food. Lots of fun and I chilled alot with my church fam!
We began cotillion practice for my debut. I'm disappointed that many girls couldn't make it, happy that almost all the guys were there and frustrated that I couldn't teach the late comers properly =(

Spent the day with my family today just watching the rest of the Olympics. Good times =)
Yay for Vancouver! Olympics are finally over and I'm actually pretty sad =( The outburst of energy will disappear. >_<
It's amazing that the traffic didn't seem like it was affected at all. Not from my standpoint at least. HWY 1 from Port Coquitlam until Kensington Ave exit. As a matter of fact, it was actually better! O_O That's great =)
Yay for Team Canada for winning the Gold in Men's Hockey! Super awesome game, super awesome goal, super awesome win!
Even though I didn't watch the closing ceremonies till the end, I really enjoyed it. Making people wear white and projecting each country that participated's flag all throughout the audience was a brilliant idea! Sure there was hints of red and white from the Canadian flag every now and then but it was great xD
Sochi's presentation was just beautiful. Funny at times just cause. (My brother and I were joking around about how Sochi's mascot is like a snowball while we have furry creatures rofl xD) Is the water-side ampitheatre there for real though? The background looked REALLY fake <_<; If it is then omg. O.M.G.
I laughed alot at the poking fun at Canadians portion =P I thought it's great how we can just giggle at ourselves haha. The three actors with their little speeches were just totes hilair. +1 for Michael J. Fox!!!
Michael Buble's part was great! I loved his song and how it was so Canadian xD He must feel so awesome hahaha. And yeah!
Good run Vancouver. Good job Furlong (your speech skills suck though). AWESOME 2010 WINTER OLYMPICS ^_^

So...I'm like, 2 weeks early <_<;>_>;; Strange. Very strange. But I should have seen it coming. Cravings and pimples =( Lame.
I made some homemade chocolate to give to my guy friends tomorrow. Only one set could be considered as honmei-choco but it's not like I can give it close to the actual day of Valentine's.
And yeah. The first few days of my mom and my cousin + his family being here is...different. I'm just so used to being independent that it's weird and annoying for my mom to always tell me to do stuff @_@ It'sk. I'll get used to it.
NBA All-Stars game tonight. East VS West. East won by TWO points. Lame. I hate it because I feel like the Eastern starters can be cocky. But they can't because they can't beat West with Kobe playing. So yeah. Which reminds me, three people were injured and they were the better players (imo.), Kobe Bryant, Chris Paul and Brandon Roy. All three of them have injuries so yeah n_n But it's okay. Considering that those three guys weren't playing, the Western Conference team did pretty well!
Love for Chauncy "Mr. Big Shot" Billups and Carmelo Anthony!
LOL @ Deron Williams' foul (he didn't know that he wasn't supposed to do that xD)
LMAO @ Dirk Nowitzki's face when Deron Williams went to foul ("NOOOOOOOOO" was on his face. LOLOLOLOL)
ROFL @ Dwight Howard's foul on Dirk (I don't remember why I was laughing but I know it was just funny xD)

Man, it seems like being Pandizmeister is a bad thing =(
A roller coaster ride of a day today. So to start off, I got picked up by the Carvster at 6:30 so I can go watch the championships for the Sr. Boys Basketball at Bodwell today. Very early rise but it didn't feel that bad.
Results = 4th place. =( They were doing so well and the whole DLS crowd (practically all the girls of our class) went crazy wild just for them. Things didn't go so well all throughout but at least they had peak moments. *sigh* I ended up crying towards the end of the first game because I was just so sad T.T Yet, another team where I'm indirectly involved but my feelings are as if I am directly involved. I couldn't handle the atmosphere in the gym so then I left with Yanny and Hazel. Yes. It was that bad and I felt that bad.
On the way to Lonsdale Quay, Yanny, Hazel and I got lost but we found our way. Ate at McDicks. Nom nom nom nuggets <3! Afterwards, I spent time with Yanny since Hazel went straight home. We ate some Qoola yogurt together and just walked around and stuff.
The skytrain ride to YVR Airport was like n_n; It was nice but boring since I fell asleep. Their trains are really wide o: Strange...I saw this one old man with a tube thingy and whenever he spoke, it was high pitched and sounded through the tube.
I saw my mom and my cousin and his family. Yay! =) Uhmmmmmm...my mom has a N97 xD I got to see my two dresses for my debut. SO PRETTY <3 Something I totes would wear and it's been decided that I'll buy the LG Ice Cream and get a Digital Perm done. Actually, I'm having second thoughts on the LG Ice Cream.
Was texting my friend Ivan all throughout the day xD So funny. :P
Saw the end of the opening ceremony for the 2010 Winter Olympics going on here in Vancouver. Pretty funny d: Epic phail on the inner torch. KSP (kulang sa pansin = attention whores) people running in the streets. And yeah.
Shoutout to my speshal: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rwQBWDkodvk

This day can suck my non-existent-but-obviously-huge-if-I-had-any balls.
So obviously, I had a bad day. In actuality, it was an over-all good day but what happened in the last few hours when the sun was still up was just too terrible that it overtook all the good things that happened.
We lost Round 2 playoffs =( We don't go to the championships tomorrow and it's all due to the fact that we didn't play with enough heart and we didn't play as a team. It was ridiculous. We weren't listening to our teacher or following the plays that we made. People were all over the place and it was just terrible. I hates it. I was so pissed off every single fucking time. FUCK.
This loss is the first time I ever wanted to cry over a school team sport. Well, there was the first time with the Sr. Girls Volleyball team and losing to that shit team during championships but I wasn't directly involved in that so it doesn't count as much. This time, I'm IN the team and I'm DIRECTLY involved and it just hurts.
T_T Now it's time to go and get sick to make myself feel better. =_=

We had our first basketball game yesterday and it was against the last team we played against. Pretty fun x) 71-15 for us and I fouled 3 times (I think). 2/3 fouls involved heavy physical contact. The first one, I was defending against a girl and I kinda tripped on my own feet and fell and that was a foul on me apparently @_@; The second one is more entertaining. I was guarding this girl who was gonna have a breakaway but I wouldn't let her at all and I ended up tackling her. Then, instead of rolling AWAY from her, for some reason, I rolled ON her. LOL =X But yeah. Once again, I didn't get any points (I'm too shy T.T;;) and any other positive stats but it's okay.
Attempted to play MW2 on my youth family friend's XBOX 360 tonight. It was hard cause I'm used to my PS3 controller and the shoot/aim down/grenades buttons are switched up *sigh* It's okay. Next time!
In other news, I finally reached my goal of saving up to $300! Unfortunately, as soon as I did, I went to Michael's (the arts and crafts store) to buy stuff for my silk screening attempt and spent around $50 =_=;; But it's worth it! I hope.
In relation to the previous paragraph, attempting my first "silk-screening" project over the weekend. I started last night for the stencil making but it didn't work as well as I did in terms of actually using the stencil on the shirt. I had to go over the lines anyway -__-; I guess it's okay since at least I had a guide. Looking forward to tomorrow when I finish this =) I'll post up pics when I'm done.
Also, I received my term 2 report cards today. I went up in everything except for Bible and Math. Bible, to be expected since my worship wasn't that great. Math, also to be expected just cause our teacher sucks balls. My average went up though by 1%! 92%-->93% Probs because my Drama grade went up to 100%, my English grade went up to 99%, my Chemistry grade went up to 94% and my Biology grade went up to 89%. I know it sounds like I'm bragging but I'm just really happy. Please bear with me :P

YAY! Girls won our second home game and we KILLED. 62-14 or maybe 67-14 but yeah. LOL. We're sooo good and even though I didn't make any baskets, I think I made a difference. There was this one time where it was kind of a fast break and I ran down the court as hard as I could and dribbled the ball. I kind of freaked out because someone was on me so I picked it up. Then all of a sudden, a bunch of girls were on me trying to steal the ball then I was like
"Oh my God. NOO. NOO."
and a bunch of grunting sounds and I think I kinda shouted NOOO. In my mind, I was thinking NO. I WON'T let you get the ball. NO. so I got really mad and grunted alot LOL. When the ball was hit out, the whole bench was laughing and it included our starters, 2-3 guys and our coach. They were laughing SO hard -____-;;
Defending was pretty okay. We played zone and I did the whole "if the other guard is on someone, take split line" thing and it was good. Offensively, our starters did great but the bench isn't as good but still very good. We kinda collapsed on our 1-3-1 offense at the end since someone was supposed to be on the wing and only 1 person down low but there were two so yeah. Over-all though, we did well.
It's potentially our last game but hopefully not. I hope we go to play-offs! =D

Anyway, I asked this guy who's courting my cousin to pass on a note I made for the girl who is currently in HS. They're friends too so yeah. Then, the other girl who I introduced to everyone texted me if I wanted to hang out on Friday! So I'm def going to that and we'll see how it goes.

Man, this post WILL be pretty XL xD! So some updates and why I haven't been posting any entries:
On Dec. 24, Shaw came in to our house to hook up our telephone and switch our internet over to them. So they guy that came in did that. Guess what? The phone could make outgoing calls but not receive incoming and the internet just plainly did not work. So then we had to wait until Wednesday of last week till another guy came in to fix the internet. And he did. Sort of. I ended up getting Security Tool (<-- a really dangerous virus that deleted my Firefox) and my computer was shut down for the next 2-3 days. Finally, another guy from Shaw came to fix our telephone and he helped take out the virus. Thing is, the guy was a young Chinese dude (I know this is kind of racist for me to mention but it's just so funny and rather stereotypical =P ). Anyway, so the virus was gone but we still had no internet. My brother and I bugged our dad to call Shaw and he did a day or two later and they told him that the internet thingy with my CPU was the problem so he went out, bought one and we connected it last night. Now, I have internet! Yaaaay!
And yeah. Spent my winter break watching Food Network marathons and Project Runway every weekday night at 11. Ironically enough...
YAY FOR MARCELLE VIGNERON. You may not have won Top Chef Season 2 but in my heart, you did. LOVE the hair and your creativity =)
YAY FOR DANIEL VOSOVIC. You may not have won Project Runway Season 2 but in my heart, you did. LOVE the sophisticated taste in fashion and your tall-ness.
Christmas Eve with my fam was fun! We sang karaoke, ate, drank n_n Lots of fun. I love my fam <3
New Year's with my fam was fun! We ate, drank, watched countdown n_n Lots of fun. I love my fam <3
New Year's Day with my fam was fun! We went to Peace Arch in the rain and freezing cold even after sunset, ate, watched A Sad Movie (Korean movie) n_n Lots of fun. I love my fam <3
Yesterday, the SR. BBall Girls had a game against Regent. We won. 49-10.
Today, the SR. BBall Boys had a game against PTI. They won. 4x-3x.
Today, the SR. BBall Girls were supposed to have a game against BCCA. We won, they forfeited.
Next week, the SR. BBall Girls have a game against TLA. We'll win. =)
CALLED IT. HAH. =P

My friend's debut was on Saturday night. VERY stressful. =( I was there from 4-10:30 and it started at 7PM. Helped their family and the youth band set up and stuff. I definitely learned lots of things for my own debut :P Teehee.
But yeah. We performed pretty well. It's just that the way the instruments and the vocals came together was really off (according to my father) so sad face =( The girls group (meaning me and my friends. aka ASADAY) did a song and a "special" song. So funny! Teehee x) Here's a link to the girls performing:
http://www.facebook.com/home.php?#/video/video.php?v=356938930313
I'm the one in the yellow dress ^_^
SR. Boys Basketball team totally pwned Waldorf today. 112-30. WOW. GOOD JOB BOYS!
SR. Girls has a game this Wednesday against Carver. I hope we do well despite not having practice this week >_<;
So I forgot my dad's house keys and room keys inside his room yesterday. I locked the door too. =( We didn't have any house keys since I didn't bring mine so we ended up borrowing my brother's. I felt really bad because my dad ended up taking the doorknob apart T__T; Poor daddy...
Now, whenever I close the door to his room, it feels weird because I reach for the knob but it isn't there. IT'S SO WEIRD!! TRY IT AND YOU'LL DEFINITELY FEEL THE DIFFERENCE.
I searched for my baby photos for the yearbook yesterday. I WAS SUCH A CUTE BABY x) teehee. teehee. I definitely looked like a boy in my early years and holy fuck, I was so white. WHAT HAPPENED T___T EFF. But yeah. Then I looked at my own father's photo albums and I started tearing up. He was so handsome and fit as a young man! Wow...haha! I love my daddy! <3
Ordered a pair of Adult Blues. I hope it looks light blue and gray more than lavender or purple on me n_n

SR. Girls has a game this Wednesday against Carver. I hope we do well despite not having practice this week >_<;
So I forgot my dad's house keys and room keys inside his room yesterday. I locked the door too. =( We didn't have any house keys since I didn't bring mine so we ended up borrowing my brother's. I felt really bad because my dad ended up taking the doorknob apart T__T; Poor daddy...
Now, whenever I close the door to his room, it feels weird because I reach for the knob but it isn't there. IT'S SO WEIRD!! TRY IT AND YOU'LL DEFINITELY FEEL THE DIFFERENCE.
I searched for my baby photos for the yearbook yesterday. I WAS SUCH A CUTE BABY x) teehee. teehee. I definitely looked like a boy in my early years and holy fuck, I was so white. WHAT HAPPENED T___T EFF. But yeah. Then I looked at my own father's photo albums and I started tearing up. He was so handsome and fit as a young man! Wow...haha! I love my daddy! <3
Ordered a pair of Adult Blues. I hope it looks light blue and gray more than lavender or purple on me n_n

Second basketball game today! It was against Bodwell High School and their students are mainly international students. Anyway...
we rocked =) 58-18 for us. MUAHHAHA XD;
I fouled someone, got fouled but didn't get any of my free throws in =( But it's cool! I played for almost a whole quarter! Not straight but all my minutes added up and stuff. ^_^ So cool.
I bought a yellow dress today for 52$. Pretty good. I hope the quality is just as! And I also bought a tube of Clinique Pore Minimizer Refining Lotion. I hope to minimize these craters on my face soon =_=
Pretty much stopped using Bio-Oil. Not sure what happened with that haha but I almost finished the bottle. I don't know where it is right now but yeah. =p
Lots of practicing this weekend. My friend is having her debut on the 5th and our Youth is performing + we're dancing too. @_@; Crazy! So now, I'm off to pack since I'm sleeping over her house tomorrow night. n_n

First basketball game of the season today. First basketball game on a real team EVER for me. I was nervous the WHOLE day, even yesterday!! We played against Meadowridge, a private school alllll the way in Maple Ridge. So far!! D: Anyway the results are... 44-37 for the other team. We may not have won but we tried our best. We played good defense and we really need to work on our offense.
I played for around 4-5 minutes; at the end of the first half (so second quarter) and at the very end (so fourth quarter). I would've liked to have made my one and only shot at a..well..a shot haha. But it's okay!
Their girls were taller than us, well for the most part. There was one girl as short as me but she was their shortest @_@; We have an even shorter girl and she's really good at her job. But yeah.
We'll have to try better this Thursday when we play against Bodwell! =)
GOOD JOB LADIES!

Volunteered yesterday from 12PM-3PM @ a flu clinic. It was pretty boring =/ I just stood there directing people to which nurse to go to to get their shots done. But that's three down, seven more to go!
First basketball game on Tuesday and it's with a really good team! I'm so nervous, so scared but God will be there beside our team's side and we'll do really well! :D
Totally re-wrote my short story. Still not done yet. I should start working on it...
My new name is now Honey Pie =) But it's not really sticking so I might as well go back to being Izzy -__-;
Will get to doing a EOS Pure Brown review soon. Just need to remember to take pictures of it during day time since it's impossible to by the time I go home. Because here in Vancouver, the sun is already down by 4PM and I get home around 5-ish. So go figure. n_n It's really pretty though! Lighter than I thought actually...but yeah. I like the colour. =]
Need to go dress shopping soon for my friend's debut. Purple or yellow? WHICH ONE?! @_@;

Trip to Alberta = so fun. so awesome. so many memories with friends. *sigh*
My first official basketball practice = pretty fun. Learned lots and I need to keep learning to play better!
Got my EOS Pure Brown contacts today! Review coming up soon. One thing though is that they're lighter and show up more than I thought O_O
Short story due on Thursday. All I got is an ending. FUCK.
Still finding venues for my debut.
I'd really like to volunteer but all the flu clinics are during Fridays and Saturdays when I'm most busy @_@ WAHHHH.
Report cards soon...those are the marks I'll be entering in for university applications. DANGIT.

Basketball practice today! Was actually really fun. I didn't expect it to be the way that it was. I thought that there'd be more running but there wasn't. I learned two new drills that I could do at home! YES
a) jog. plant feet. pivot left up/down or right up/down.
b) jog. plant feet. touch ground w/ both hands. stay low. firefeet. arms up. side step to left/right
I'm so proud of myself that I got through it ^___^!! I think I might be playing a Guard position since our coach put me in that group during some shooting practice/drills. Hmmmmmm... But I must definitely work on my left hand dribbling and shooting. MUSCLE MEMORY FOR THE PROPER STANCE !!
In other news...
Nerd Day at my school today! Ironic thing was that during Math class, not that many people understood what was going on. And we were all nerds! haha. =P
STILL not finished cleaning my room =_=
Planning to buy a pair of Max Pure Grays since I want the noticeable gray colour and the effect looks REALLY pretty =) I plan to buy some blue ones before grad pictures too. If the colour isn't as noticeable for the grays then I'll be really sad =( Here's an ad for the Max Pure Gray.

So my school is gay. I need Calculus 12 to get into UofT Commerce but my school doesn't offer it. I don't want to learn from the internet. Fuck that. I might be forced to take History 12 but then I really do need Calculus 12 cause it might be a requirement for some Commerce courses. FUCK. D:
In other news...I feel happy. I'm really dedicated to learning how to play basketball well that I did some drills at 11:20-11:50 xD That and we have practice tomorrow and I'd like to get more stamina just so I don't fall behind TOO much. I don't have P.E. so yeah.. Not very fit =/
Who knew planning a big party would be such a hassle -_- Gotta figure out... venue, guest list, program, invitations, give-aways, food, guests, specific special guests, special performances, AV equipment and worst of all, BUDGET.!!
Still not finished cleaning my room. =_=
My aunt from Japan came today! She brought back tons of Japanese food stuffs n_n Yummmmmmmmmy. And I got a new wallet. I have like..4 new un-used wallets. I had 5 but gave one away. My current one is still in really good condition so I don't see the need to replace it >_< So DON'T give me wallets as presents UNLESS there's dollar bills in there in increments bigger than $20 ;)
Should I tell my mom that I'm in love but not necessarily have a boyfriend? She asked me over the phone earlier. I feel like I should just cause I never talk to her about boy issues and it's like a normal mom thing to do..y'know?
