My last high school prom.
8:00am hiking with the fambam
10:00am BBQ at uncle’s place
12:00pm home, shower, dump all makeup and curling iron in bag, grab ticket, dress, purse
1:30pm KD’s house!
I was the odd one out at their house. Her family was home while we do
our makeup in the bathroom. It was KD, me and CD. Took a pic with her
adorable dog tigger, did our hair and makeup for 4 hours damn. Finally
got dressed, CD’s bf came, took pictures, left for PF Changs at 6pm. We
saw a hummer limo on our way there, turns out it was some other people
from school - SM included. We walked over there, had to wait for an hour
for a table, SM and his friend KN came over and talked to us. Me and KN
matched, unfortunately. Ordered fried rice, me and KD shared. Left at
7:30 and arrived at the AZ Science Center by 8:30. It was so nice, they
had new york lights and hologram. Saw SC, SM, DB, BO and his date, J,
and took some crappy pics. We walked around the science center, tried
all the neat gadgets, drank some nasty green tea, and bland brownie. Saw
more familar faces, and finally went on the dance floor. It was all
fun, amazing dancers, ciphers, gross couples, until later that night,
while we had our own dance group R pulled on my dress and asked to dance
with me. Weird and awkward for sure but i danced for awhile anyway.
Left, but SC pushed me back, bleh. Looked at KD and gave her a look.
Left finally. Awkard between KD and SM, because KN came again. We kept
coming back in and out of the dance floor. Saw MN, DB, AM, JO, JL, KR,
and a lot more. My feet hurt like heck. It ended way too early for us.
Free hotdogs outside but i didn’t get any, walked to the parking lot
with KD, went to NL’s house for a chillout afterparty. It was freezing
outside. AJ and JB were there too! Watched some netflix, offered ice
cream and root beer. Nah. Finally home by 2am and apparently, there was a
mini party going on at my house. Relatives came because my dad just
arrived from NY, and they apparently wanted to see me after Prom but
nope. Too late. Good night.

Lots going on today. Tests-Carnival-Pictures-Library-FemPro
Practice-Airport for my brothers’ arrival. So i basically had a
test/quiz in all of my four classes. Anatomy was a pain in the ass. I
couldn’t remember the two valves and so i had to leave it blank. Darn.
But before that, we had a spring carnival at lunch. I wore my beige
romper with a lacey kind of vest, gladiator sandals, and fedora. Got
lots of compliments and i was so thankful and embarrassed at the same
time. I felt so overexposed hahh. They made lunch an hour so we have
time to enjoy the carnival. There wasn’t really a lot to do, got my prom
ticket, free blimpie, and italian ice. After school, waited in the
library, blah ditched me - but it doesn’t matter because i had a lot of
fun. Funny moments in the library, pictures, crazy people. Then i met up
with cousin to ride with her to the office. Ate shrimp fried rice,
fortune cookie, and ice cream cake. Damn, they feed me so much i always
feel extremely full. At 6, arrived at the Jukebox Studio, learned Leah’s
routine to Letting Go by Janelle M. Then at 7, fempro practice! Finally
finished the routine. I was so nervous the whole time, especially when
she picked people to dance. It was all good though, very last minute.
Hella exhausted. She made us work really hard and dance nonstop. I was
running out of water. Left by 9pm. Stayed at AD’s place for an hour and
30 til my uncle and mother picked me up to go to the airport. Brothas
arrived around 12:30am. Ate at iHop. Good, tiring day. Went to sleep and
it felt like i was sweating in my sleep. Oh no, please don’t get sick.
April 11 - 16, 2011
This past week has been great, for the most part. Staying after school (after 12:15)
is always the funnest. You meet all kinds of people, and our little
group is all so different and diverse. I learn a lot just by being
around them, sharing different opinions and views about everything. This
year, i’ve made a resolution to cherish every friendship made. After
writing that problem-solution essay, i’ve realized that i need to
appreciate people more, understand where they are coming from, and avoid
any forms of judgment and criticisms.
The start of the week, however, i wasn’t feeling all that well. I’ve
had the colds, and unknowingly, i had a fever of 102 degrees last
tuesday. It was funny because, i wanted to skip my 5th hour class to
sleep in the nurse’s office (so i can save my energy for after school
and dance later that night). Turns out, i had to explain myself to the
nurse and she checked my temperature. She quickly told me that i need to
go home immediately. I didn’t want to, of course. She called my mother,
i told her i could stay til after school, but apparently, my ‘cold’ was
worse than i thought. I felt fine though, really. So i told my friend,
she took my duffel bag, stayed in the counseling with 2 other girls,
waited outside, and my uncle picked me up. I slept as soon as i got
home.
I was basically sick the whole week, but that didn’t stop me from
having to take 2 major tests, and dancing. Thursday, i went to dance
practice and learned a short routine to Cat Daddy. It was easy
to learn and sure as hell fun. School was a lot of fun too. GC made me a
name card with doodles all over it; fire drill and i walked with 2 of
my friends and saw more on the way; threw hearts and gang signs from
across the field and the teacher questioned me for that - t’was all good
though; reading Hamlet; stealing hershey kisses from the counseling
office; spam song; crazy acts of monty; security guard wanting to fight
kung fu with me and SC; DB singing Love by Nat King Cole;
talking about mellow songs, planning duets with RZ; MNM’s increasingly
amazing style day by day; and along with m’s gorgeous smiles; mysterious
asian kid i see in the hall with so much swag; weil’s funny class;
american idol rants; guide to swag dictionary; overdose on food; potluck
at lunch (GC brought turkey sandwich, i brought salad and desert).
Watching our school play, Beauty and the Beast tomorrow.
------------------------------------------
Garage sale in our neighborhood, walked around 7am, bought a vintage
camera for $4, sold 2 bicycles, my aeropostale long sleeve, and a soccer
ball. Me and my little cousin both earned $11 each. Big whoop. Those
old ladies were taking advantage of us and asked to reduce the prices,
my cousin, however, was a big pushover. Bleh.
At 1:30, drove to school with GC to watch the school musical “Beauty
and the Beast” Met up with KD, RZ, LK. Bought some cookies, saw some old
theatre friends, including my humongo giant friend, SW. took
pictures with the cast, the play was AMAZING. Beyond a high school
production, their costumes were fantastic, the stage, the setting, the
props, and of course, the singing! CT was matinee belle and her voice
was lovely, she was perfect for belle. The guys could sing too, i was
pretty surprised. AJ as Gaston was the funniest. The beast had so much
makeup, the prince after he transformed was this cute little
underclassman who got to kiss CT, while her real life bf was backstage.
Dayuuum. Got some yogurt right after.
PS: Im the girl with the striped shirt.
April 1, 2011 (ST's Bday)
It was just like how i thought it would be, yet not at the same time.
Complications during the day, then after school, had very little time
to get ready. I rushed on what i was going to wear, didn’t give much
thought about it, and regretted it through the night. Rode with SP,
walked to his house, fooled me with his:
‘oh, my dad can’t take us to the party anymore, he doesn’t want to drive all the way there’
‘nahhhh, you can’t be serious. april fools right?’
‘no i’m serious, he’s upset and can’t you see the car outside?’
‘yeah i can see it, you’re kidding me! you’ve got to be joking… NO. i walked all the way here and it was so hot outside’
‘yeah, sorry, you have to go back then’
‘what the fuuuuu, no we ARE going to the party!’
‘…..april fools haha. fooled ya!’
oh shut the -
It went something like that, sort of. But anyways, i almost forgot my
gift, had to go back to my house, and left at around 4:20pm. It was an
hour drive so there was a lot of talking going on inside the car. And
some awkward questions, but thats understandable. We also pranked ST
saying we couldn’t go. But we got to her house at 5:30 (an hour and 30
minutes earlier than the start of the party). She wasn’t even fully
ready. A few people came, we were just chilling on the couch, watching
some Disney. By 7:00, more and more people came. Vietnamese to be exact.
And some taiwanese, filipino, and so on. The party was mostly karaoke,
and mostly viet. They were crazy good singers, which surprised me - a
lot. Had some good food - fried rice, fried pork rolls, stir fry
noodles, donuts, fruits, and more. At around 8:30, more people came,
with drinks. Loud music, loud people, funny sight. This girl even sat on
me, moved to KS, and after a while, puked all over the couch and
carpet. The filipinos had to clean up of course. She slipped, and puked
on the bathroom again. Met a lot of people, half of their names i dont
remember. Left at 12 midnight, fell asleep in the car, home by 1am.
