PNo.29: Sundayy!!

wow.

been a while since i posted :P (or maybe not)

hmm. 

Frost crawled slowly along the edges of the window as snowflakes drifted down onto the snow-laden ground outside.  Swaths of blankets surrounded me, causing warm drafts of air to surround my skin.  I curl my fingers around my mug of hot chocolate.  Amidst the sea of brown drink, islands of pale marshmallow begin to melt slowly, creating white swirls in the deep cocoa beverage.  Placing the lip of the cup against my frozen ones, I take a sip and let the coziness run down my throat and flow through my body.  

            On the side stood a Christmas tree.  It was wrapped with all of its ornaments and decorations that glistened as the candlelight and illuminated the room with a soft glow.  Below the magnificent green giant sat a multitude presents, each one in its entirety- carefully wrapped complimented by a neatly tied bow with its ribbons dangling down. 

            A radio played Christmas music off to the side.  The sound of bells jingling and voices singing my favorite tunes floated into my ear.  Accompanying the notes was the sweet scent of baked cookies that still hung in the air, some sitting on a plate and yet to be eaten.  The fire cackled as it burned its fueling wood to ashes.  Above the fire hung hand-sewn stockings, empty.  But I know that the spaces were just waiting to be filled. 

            The night continued to pass on as drowsiness snuck up behind me and caught me in its trap.  I began to drift off into a dream of a vast winter wonderland and workshop of toys.  I could’ve sworn I heard a jingle of bells on the roof right before I slipped into a slumber.

Can i have that (plus a little more) for Christmas? <3 

too bad I'm not even gonna be home on the 25th...

oh wells. Saturday was fun! (: 

today wasn't too bad either.  I got to talk to PSY today! :P

 

PNo.29: Day after Thanksgiving.

A story i heard today:

Once upon a time... a girl liked a boy, but also secretly liked another.  The 2nd boy and the girl were friends and he was trying to guess her crush.  The girl decides to tease him by making her clues match up to him too.  

the boy didn't realize it at all

and he just let it go.  But it's okay...cuz the girl waited for him... Well... eventually she got impatient and just told him.. but still she waited till he gave her an answer to that too. 

<3

what a cute story ^.^

PNo.28: Nothing to post about!

PNo.25: Weekly write #10

I changed this from my weekly write.  

Dear God,

They say, God, that you can do anything.  I’ve heard about the stories of your miracles.  My mom told me that you could do anything.  Well.  For Christmas, I just want to ask you for one thing.  Santa, can you make this work?  They told me that I don't have much of a chance so I was just wondering, if you could just grant my wish a little earlier?

With love and care, 

Julian Yang

here's the original:

Dear Santa,

            How are you this year?  Are you busy now that Christmas is just around the corner?  I can’t wait ‘til Christmas!  The city workers already put out the Christmas lights on the lampposts and Thanksgiving hasn’t even past yet!  Wow, this is making me even more anxious for that special time to come again.  There’s only a month left, can you believe it?  All this love and giving gifts…  Which brings me to the topic of what I would like for Christmas.  Before you put me on the naughty children list, I really want to apologize.  I’m sorry for being a bad boy, but I just can’t help it.  Susie’s pigtails were just begging me to pull them.  They were just asking for a little pull.  And what could I do?  I had to satisfy those two strands of braided hair.  I’m really sorry about that hair-pulling incident.  Well, anyways, just please don’t put me on the naughty boys list.  I really am trying my best to be on my best behavior.  For your information, it’s very hard for a little boy like me to resist all of those temptations.  That hair-pulling thing wasn’t even that bad… I think you get the point, right Santa? 

They say, Santa, that you can do anything.  I’ve heard about the stories of your magical factory.  My mom told me that you could make anything.  Well.  For Christmas, I just want to ask you for one thing.  Santa, can you give my mom a new heart?  The doctors told me that she doesn’t have much time left the way things are going so I was just wondering, if you could just deliver my present a little earlier.  I really love my mom and I don’t want to see her leave. 

With love and care,

Johnny

i dunno... not much to say..

finished figuring out Child of the poor / What Child is This? 

only to find out.. that they're almost exactly the same in chord progressions >.< 

you can pretty much play the chords to What Child is This to child of the poor... but it's okay

good practice.. and i put more chords in it :P

all the tabs i found.. sorta suck

Pno.20: Everything else

okay.  so.. everything else...

um. not much to say i guess.

my mind is sorta preoccupied.. with other stuff. but i said i would try to post twice

sooo. i think the only thing worth mentioning is that we switched seats in brannen

and i finally got andrew + shivanti + nandi in my table (:

yea.

i think that's it >.<

other than the fact i'm doing pretty bad in Spanish participation... 

oh well...

overall a good day? i think.

don't really want to think about anything bad soo. yea.

*as you can tell. i'm totally out of it right now*

PNo.19: Pe

i think i might be posting twice today :P

just cuz i wanted to post about PE (hence the title ;) )

flowers finally decided to mix the teams around.. and make 2 more 

so i decided to stare flowers down to let me be captain (and get me out of my old team)

ended up with my old teammates again with the addition of this other girl (johanna?) don't remember her name exactly... but she's the one that complains about me running all the time.

poor isaac. he got kicked out cuz flowers said there were "too many guys".. there were only 3 though.. (including me)

oh wells.

oh and people keep on asking me what i want.. 

so i suppose i'll just post a wishlist of things that can actually be bought (there are others)

1) Mesaboogie Express 5:50.  not like i expect one.. but i sure would like one xD (it's like $1,200 or so.. probably have to add tax) for those who don't know, it's a tube amp.

2) Boss Rc-2. looper pedall. :P i found myself really wanting one today when i was screwing around. ($190) 

3) Rovner. saxophone ligature.. supposed to make my tone sound better? or at least transfer between registers... don't think you know what i'm talking about.. but whatevers (no clue how much it costs.. 15-25$?)

4) picks (thin ones) running outt. D:

BUT MORE IMPORTANT THAN THE OTHERS, A HUG ;)

cuz you can't buy that (:

PNo.18: Finally finished with homework (:

wow.. finally finished with hw.. at 11:46pm O.oo

haven't taken that long for a long timeeee

but today at school was sorta.. anticlimatic?

well. only cuz i don't really like my new seat in collins...

i remember talking with my sister about the people that if i ended up sitting next to.. i'd like shutup during class.  and about how i really didn't want that darn "light" seat.  and then the next thing i know... i get seated next to those people IN THE "LIGHT" SEAT >.<

deja vu....

oh wells. 

maybe i can complain that my glasses get glare reflected from the sunlight and that it hurts my eyes.. nah. i guess i'll just have to stick it out this quarter...

(but the sun really does hurt my eyes >.<)

at least I got Paley in my side of the room :P 

but i guess lunch was pretty good.. yea

everything else was good in general.. just collins >.<

did alright in sightsinging / harmony today too during ap prep :P

okay i guess i should stop rambling now xD

PNo.17: Brannen Weekly Write

*note* this is going to be used for my brannen weekly write.. out of no clue of what to write :P

so everyone please help me and correct it ;)

Sunday is a very routine day.  Yet, it still retains its own characteristic qualities.  I woke up this morning on the couch, wondering how I got there.  (This was quickly replaced by the realization that I had fallen asleep on the couch yesterday night, only because of my pure laziness to walk to my bed.)  After a quick shower, I get to the kitchen table and wolf down the breakfast awaiting me: chicken pot pie- fresh from the microwave.  While putting on my shoes while the garage door opened, I noticed a funny sound going on with the motor opening the door.  But then I just ignored it and got into the car.  We first picked up Raymond at his house to take him with us to church.  After all, it is the Sabbath.  When we arrived at 9881 Trask Ave., Garden Grove (the church address), I found my thoughts wandering.  "Well," I reasoned "Better than just sitting there and doing nothing at all."  Then, Pastor Johnny approached me and asked "Hey, can you do me a favor?"  And obviously, I said yes, with him being the pastor it's the polite thing to do.  Johnny ended up having me rip Hawaiian sweet rolls into "bite size" pieces.  After I finished tearing apart the bread and delivered the platter to him, the service had started.  First it was worship, then followed by the sermon.  The random torn-up bread made its appearance at that point.  Apparently, it served two purposes.  One was to make the analogy of Jesus being the bread of life in Johnny's sermon.  The other was just for the entire English congregation to enjoy.  Following the sermon was men's (and boys') and women's ministry.  I don't know what the girls were up to, but we ended up continuing our planning for the no-longer-a-secret "Sisters' Appreciation Night", which is suppose to take place on the night of the twenty-seventh of November- otherwise known as Thanksgiving.  I got assigned to helping Brian design the invites, since there was only a Mac with Illustrator, none of which Brian knew how to use (but he's a REALLY good artist).  I like the whole idea of an "appreciation night" but I don't see the point why Johnny wanted to make it a "surprise" if he was going to reveal it to the girls 2 weeks before.  After service ended, there wasn't much left for me to do.  Not feeling hungry, I entertained myself as I waited for my parents to finish eating (our church serves lunch).  Popping out my cellphone, I started a game of Sokoban.  Pastor Yu's kids (three of them) crowded around me, trying to "help" me solve the puzzle.  Finally, it was time for me to go back home.  When we tried to drop off Raymond at his house, we found that none of his parents were home.  So, we ended up taking him home with us, where he waited for fifteen minutes for his mother to pick him up.  And here I am now, writing this journal entry.  I think I shall start on my homework after this final word.

wow.. that is probably one of the longest posts i have ever posted..

PNo.16: David and Lisa + Alan xD

haha. never seen Andrew Liang act like that before :P

i think the only other time was for like Taiwan missions but that was pretty short.

hmm. worship today seemed alright.  messed up in "reign in us" but oh well..

tho... i probably won't sleep in.
paley thought there was school tomorrow xD i shouldn't have told him that no one was going..
well. tomorrow's gonna be weird cuz i don't got no homework :P
hooray for comps.
HOPEFULLY i get a 4.0... but chances are sorta slim :( depends if brannen gives me an A on my comp / character essay. oh wells. doesn't matter that much.
can't believe 1/4 of my freshman year... just disappeared D:
that's some crazy magic trick that these school peoples did :P

and now i'm wondering what andrew/shivanti's mastermind plan is gonna dooo. D:

PNo. 7: Comps Day2 ~~

soo. 2nd day of comps..
89.1% in brannen!! silly mockingbird test brought me down (77)
oh wells.
spanish was alright.. sorta boring. was looking for paley all over the place during snack so i could let him borrow my starfield cd... but he disappeared. silly boy.
then after comps was studyish time with renz and michele! (and avery in the beginning)
i had a lot of fun. but then.. i don't think it was actually studying cuz studying is supposed to be "student" + "dying" and i don't think i was dying ;)
well. studying hard. or like pauline, "trying to be" xD

PNo.6: Comps~ Day 1!

pe comp today was sorta weird cuz we had study hall first and then we did football. Studyhall was fun.. except. we didn't get anything done. Paley kept on tying mine and Michele's shoelaces together... and then we all turned on him and tried to tie HIS shoes xD then it was basketball. cuz we gave up trying to do our writing outlines.. since we couldn't concentrate. so Isaac was being silly and not participating! D: and then paley started complaining... but then studyhall period ended.. then was football. which was pretty much normal. except our team was extra bad today O.o.. got scored on soo many times..
snack. probably got like 2 quotes.. was working with Michele and Paley. this time he wasn't screwing around (:
thenn bruecsh comp. was pretty easy. got a lot more quotes afterwards..
but after i got home.. i got like super distracted. D:
guitar is too much fun xD
and then BLOONS TOWER DEFENSE 3!!! didn't know they released a 3rd one til like 2 days ago.
yea.. talked to some people. then i dunno. didn't get anything done D:
but i'm working hard now! i hope.
yea. haha
byees!

PNo.5: Votes

yea yea. obama won. and prop 8 was passed
i dunno about prop 4 the website is like.. laggy. and i heard it did.

but other than that. i think today was pretty good.
nothing horrible happened

to be honest. i'm sorta scared. scared of the future. oh well. so much can change... for better of for worse i don't know.
but hopefully i am/will be prepared. No use worrying about it now.

i think our poster got owned. but i think it was worth having the fun. and we're all in the study group anyways. so it's alright... i think.

well. hope you girls are having fun at your sleepover. 3rd period Park + Brannen. good luck on your essays!
and Raymond. You better be doing your outlines right now...

dunno what else to say..
wow.. it's pretty late. xD
should probably sleep or at least work on my brannen outlines.

PNo.4: Footnotes

rawr... i don't like those (^)
made me waste so much time today redoing my collins booky >.<
but then there's always friends to help me through (:
today was getting byish. Had a pretty cool pe sub today. and HE WAS ASIAN! lol.

i dunno what else to post.. not much.
theory (used to be piano) class was pretty good. cuz i didn't have to feel bad for not practicing xD

PNo.3: Brannen

well. as to the request of one specific person ;) here's my post.
supposed to be doing math hw right now. but that's easy.
finally finished my brannen homework an hour ago.. that lady is a killer
and now i'm just intrigued by the amount of people that have status messages that:
1) are very mad at Brannen for giving that huge load of hw
2) are very happy because they DON'T have Brannen

oh wells. i'm done (:
just realized that my parents aren't back from their party yet and it's almost 10pm D:
this week doesn't seem too good. but that's okay. because i have my friends
It's amazing how one person's boredom on facebook could lead to so many comments so fast.

well so far. my freshman year.. has been interesting. a lot of surprises for sure ;)

PNo.2: Chinese skool

hooray. midterms are over! :D apparently i was the highest in the class? O.o "98.5%" it's actually 96.5% (a 53/55) but in chinese school terms, it was theoretically impossible to get lower than a 55% on the test 'cuz there were only 55 questions! chinese teachers are weird xD oh wells
homework this weekend is killing meee. silly brannen giving us THREE essay outlines to do... and they're for comps. That teacher has one of the worse teaching styles i've ever seen.. even I can tell the class to read the stuff in "writer's craft" and tell them to do the excercises... whatever. enough about griping gotta finish all this homework that i let pile up.. :(

okay homework timee!
