There's a point in time

..when you realize you've changed - for the better.


I’ve honestly changed - mentally. It’s not a sudden change, but i’ve realized this over time. Even though i look young for my age, my mind is different. I don’t fuss over little things, I don’t complain over trivial matters, I don’t make up lies to impress people, nor do i impress people who are not worth it. I no longer hold grudges and before i know it, i’ve already forgotten them. I try not to judge anyone, and i know for a fact that i’ve improved on that. I’m not the type to fall into peer pressure. I do things i want and what i know is right. Whenever my friend would talk crap about someone’s appearance/personality/reputation, im not the one to agree with them. Instead, i say things like “Aw i feel bad for her”, “I don’t know him personally so i can’t say the same thing about him”, and what hits them the most is when i say “I don’t want to judge her/him”. I’m a lot more honest, responsible, and truthful now. I’ve learned not to depend on others when i know i can handle simple things like that. Im always known as the ‘little girl’ but i act a lot more mature than most of my friends. I handle situations in a way i know best. Killing them with kindness. I confront them honestly and go straight to the point i want to come across. Thinking back, i’ve only achieved this because i have been through so much. It’s because of my experiences and mistakes - especially when it comes to friendships, that i have been through different kinds of stereotypes and positions. I know that i am still so young and i have a lot more to learn about life. I still have a lot to go through, more struggles and pain to overcome, achievements and goals to succeed, and i know that i have to stay humble and true to myself. And i think i am ready for that. I’ve grown, and I’ve matured and realizing this makes me feel good.

Spring Break 2011

March 12 - 20, 2011

Saturday: Cousin’s bday at 3, left at 5 for FemPro rehearsal. Finally finished the dance! We need to clean it up though. Headache, 3 hour rehearsal. Home by 11pm.

Sunday: Way too tired to go hiking. So only the adults went. Church at 12, food and boba after. Dropped off at cousin’s to go buy some baggy jeans and other costume elements. Ate yogurt, ah-so, saw a really really attractive guy coming out of a car. We call him sam.

Monday: Bro’s birthday. Had to clean the house all day, then went to practice this filipino traditional dance at my cousin’s. Waltzed, Ballroom, and played in the jumpy inflatable house. FUN. Went back home for the party, ate good food, charades, danced, finished Deuces choreography by Dejan Tubic! After watching the video, picked up the choreo pretty fast :)

Tuesday: Looked up and applied for some scholarships and colleges. That took me the whole day almost. No jukebox workshop today for me :/

Wednesday: My bestest viet friend drove all the way here to visit me! Arrived at my house around 8:30, brought strawberries for my fambam (what a sweetheart), BP came with as well. Ate breakfast at iHop, drove around Norterra but all the stores were closed. Went to BP’s house, watched music videos, funny dad. Went to my house, took a whole lot of webcam pictures! Funny stuff. We were planning to go to the mall but her mom called and wanted her back at chandler. Good day.

Thursday: Did some more research about colleges, cleaned the house, danced. At night, GC came over, KD picked us up, went to Norterra to watch Red Riding Hood! It was good because of unexpected outcomes. Lots of twists. Walked around Norterra, Subway, couches, talked and laughed a lot. Good night.

Friday: Mother dropped me off cousin’s apartment at around 8 in the morning. Uncle picked us up, dropped us off at Jukebox. The whole building was closed. Saw KL and JD. Drove to The Streets, drank some boba. Went back to the studio for our dress rehearsal for Boogie! 3 hours, all fun and hard work. Uncle picked us up again, dropped me home, cleaned the house after brothers and cousin left for Kumon.

Saturday: BOOGIDABEAT DANCE COMPETITION. But first, SB picnic at 10am, ate good food, danced, fooled around. Phoenix Prep Academy by 2pm for the dance today, fixed our hair and makeup, tech rehearsal, lots of amazing dancers. Open Style battle at 5, but started at 6. Long line for the audience, took a pic with Andrew Baterina, way too many dancing, amazing crews, and not so entertaining crews. Performed, I love my FemPro girls so much. One of the best moments in my life. Ate, left at 11pm. Exhausted. GREAT DAY. Im so sad its over.

Sunday: BOODIEDABEAT WORKSHOP. Ready by 8:30, dropped off at cousin’s. Workshop started at 12pm. Danced to April Bambao’s choreo of ‘Swag Thru Da Roof’ I actually got that one. 3pm Phillip Geniza’s choreo to ‘Unusual’ awesome choreo but way too exhausted to actually learn it. 4pm Andrew Baterina’s choreo to ‘Gotta Be Your Man’ Fun, amazing, cute guy! Long speech from the instructors, lasted til 7 almost. Home by 8. Slept at 11. Damnschooltomorrow.
So basically, I was EXTREMELY BUSY this Spring Break. But its one of the best weeks for sure.
